There are so few cases in which there is
anything to commend in the acts of our
Board of Health that an occasion to say q
good word for that expensive and generally
inefficient institution should not be per-
mitted to 60 by If one presents itself Its
habit Of securing autopsies in some doubt
full cases Of death returns is praiseworthy.
1t has the best effect on public opinion for
it to be officially made known that q case re-
turned as Asiatic cholera had not the re-
hottest relation to that disease. This habit
can be objected to only by the dreadfully
befogged physician whose faulty diagnosis
was corrected by the examination Of the
body of the patient whom he had treated
for one disease while she was dying of
another. BY this system the convenient
grave does not cover doctors plumbers
BY the way, it would be we'll if the New
Jersey authorities would import this system
and put it in force in Hudson county In
that county for the month of July there
we're 458 deaths, and Of these 103 are at

Perhaps the mystery can be taken out OF
the odd restitution of the property stolen at
Englewood by the consideration that the
friends of the robber share in the popular
misconception with regard to the objects
with which criminals are pursued by the
authorities. 1t has come to be thought
and our detective system supplies an ample
illustration that tho thought is in great
degree justiHablo-that criminals are pur-
sued in these days only for the recovery of
the stolen property, never for the punish
ment of crime. They who hold this theory
consequently believe that If the property
stolen in any given case is restored
to the owner all proceedings will end there.
Let us suppose that the suspicious against
Mr.. Floyd's hostler we're correct, and that in
holding him the authorities at Englewood
had in their hands one of the actual robbers,
if not the originator and principal actor.
how shall his confederates come to his res
cue, since they probably dare not abandon
him. for fear he should make disclosures?
On the popular theory of justice stated their
one efficient means to help him, to save him
at once and forever. is to provide that the

saving Society In France.

Marshal MacMnhon is reported to have
said publicly at Caen that he ''did not seek
the triumph of any particular party, but Of
those principles which were the foundation
of society, which was in serious jeopardy"
It is a common circumstance in the history
of the men who wish to ''save society from
some one else that society itself is so little
in sympathy with their purposes that they
cannot take it into their confidence, but
have to resort to disingenuous statements.
Commonly, however, they have good enough
memories to agree with themselves when
thew state their case on different occasions.
In this last particular Marshal MacMahon is
unlike his many predecessors. At Bourges,
for instance, he acclaimed with especial
virulence against the radicals as the great
source of all evil and the danger from
which it was necessary to rescue the coun-
try. Now the radicals, in the language
spoken in government circles is the name
for all the republicans in France, it
being the purpose at present not to admit
that there is any real difference between
the honest republicans, who wish to see their
country we'll governed under its present
constitution, and the political maniacs who
believe in the Commune, and are the foes
Of all government. Consequently on that
occasion the Morshal was animated espe-
cially against one party, if not in favor of
another. On an earlier occasion he declared
that he belonged to the Right-that is, to
the party of reaction, to the party that
wishes to ''revise" the present constitution
out of existence, to overthrow the actually
established Republic and to set up throne
on which to place some one of the several
adventurers who pose as claimants to a
French crown, royal or imperial Does
the Marshals denial OF any party affilia-
tions, taken in connection with his reit-
Grated wish ''to save society,"" imply that
he wishes to save it for himself alone and
not tor any one of the pretenders?

With the report Of the last day of the
trial Of the Bank Superintendent comes
statement unfortunately not yet in official
form-to the effect that the judgment will
be against the incriminated officer. It is
only because Of the uncertain and corrupt
condition Of public affairs generally that
this issue could ever have been for mo-
fair trial on the presentation of the facts,
and an honest verdict as the issue Of the
trial, Mr. Ellis would have been dishonora-
bly, removed from Office in any country
where the laws are like ours and
dis actions such as he even admits
them to have been. This verdict fully
justifies the opinions expressed by us
when the facts first fagrantly came be-
fore the public by the failure of bank and
the virtual theft Of the money Of the de-
positors through the connivance Of this
official. In every civilized community with
of swindlers if the banks are left without
official supervision; for they cannot for
themselves determine in such complicated
points what is good and what is bad. An
officer to maintain that supervision is, there
fore, an important functionary Immediately
charged with the interests Of the people as
no other officer Is. II he betrays his
trust or is incapable of fulfilling it,
the result is equally calamitous to the peo-
pie who are the victims. and the guilt Of the
functionary is almost equally great; for to
hold such IN Office without the capacity to
perform its duties is itself piece Of
rascality. The removal of this functionary
is an honest enforcement Of justice, as the
failure to remove him was fragrant neglect
of duty on the part of Governor Tilden.
