the savings bank for ready use in emer-

Secretary Sherman's proposal is valuable
only as admitting the propriety of the gov
eminent doing something for the better
protection of savings. The laboring classes
are indebted to him for having in his an
nual report, called the attention Of Congress
"to the great value to our fellow citizens Of
the organization of some plan for the col
lection, safe keeping and profitable
employment of small deposits by the
people," "No object" he said, "could
more strongly appeal to the considerate
judgment of Congress- The heavy losses
that have been sustained through savings
banks whose funds have been IMPROVE
inflicted far greater injury upon the deposit
tors than would similar loss suffered by
persons engaged in banking or commercial
pursuits" Nothing could be more judicious
and timely than these remarks, by which the
Secretary prefaced his lame and impotent
recommendation. We printed yesterday
communication on the subject of postal saw
ings banks in which the writer makes an in
genious proposal as to the method OF con-
Quoting their business. But whatever may
be the merits Of such use of stamps as he
proposes it is question of detail to be con-
sidered and discussed after Congress shall
have evinced willingness to take up the
subject for efficient action. 1t will no
doubt be easy to improve the details of the
English system when it is transplanted to
this country

The Marie ROZe Concert.

Reserved seat tickets for the Marie
Roze concert, which takes place this
evening, can now be obtained at
g. Il. Thomas & Cos.
1t Is unnecessary to speak in detail of
the most prominent dramatic prima
donna of the day, whose name has now
become household word here. 1t has
been conceded by the most emi minentmusi-
cal critic that Marie. Roze possesses
the grandest dramatic soprano organ of
the present day, and has by her consum-
mate art reached the acme of excellence
both as a singer and an artistic Of the
very highest order. And then apart from
her very increasing artistic fame, Marie
Roze looks and appears the very type of
noble, large hearted woman. Indeed
all that we know and hear of M aris Roze
indicates that the public is right In at
tributing to her those great qualities OF
heart and mind which 1t loved to recog-
nize in the nature of the gifted and Ia
mented Parepa. In writing of Marie
Roze, an eminent American critic
says: srs .iHnNTr t.s4
"Aside from her extraordinary power
as vocalist, and her personal beauty
her qualities of heart as shown in heI
| constant and eager desire to assist any
worthy cause, from struggling church
to q city stricken with pestilence, are
| such as appeal most strongly to people
| like ours. Americans admire genius and
| unselfishness, and it is safe to say that in
both respects Marie Roze holds very
| foremost place in. their regard"

ELECTION CONTEST.

This evening the City Council will hold
a special meeting at the City Hall, for the
purpose of hearing the election contest OF
Bernard j. McVey VS.. j. Horace Rudolph.
These gentlemen were candidates for in
spector in the second precinct of the Fifth
Ward at the late city election, and as the
vote resulted In tie the Inspector of the
election, Thos. w. Saville, gave his cast
ing vote in favor of Mr.. Rudolph. Mr..
McVey contests on the ground that his
own vote was refused by Mr.. Saville and
that had it been accepted he would have
had majority of one and been elected.
His vote was rejected on the ground Of
non-residence, but he feels prepared to
prove that he was bona tde resident OF
the city at the time of the election. He
will be represented in the contest by
Henry c. Turner, Esq.
The daily gazette., 1878-10-08

A very important piece of information
reaches us privately from Paris. 1t is to
the effect that Grants sudden return to
that city from Switzerland was the first
step t. ward putting into execution one of
the boldest political movements of the
century. 1t is well known that Grant
has long been anxious to return TO the
United States, He has been kept out of
the country by his friends, who have as
sured him all along that the supreme mo-
ment had not been reached. When the
old man heard of the Maine election he
Immediately conceived the idea that the
time for him to take charge Of the coun-
try had arrived. He was in Switzerland.
His plan was to return to the United
States in a steamer from Havre, as Napo-
leon returned from Elba to France, Sc
cretly and with great suddenness. He
was to land at or near the Delaware
Breakwater, as Napoleon landed at
Cannes. A few of his trusty friends were
to meet him there, among them Generals
Fitzpatrick, Schenk, Babcock and Agnus.
Then an extraordinary march was to be
made on the National Capital. Balti-
more was to be the first city taken in.
The adhesion of Messrs. Fulton and
Thomas to the cause Savior was confident
expected to electrify the country and
frighten Hayes and Rodgers out of Wash
ington. All things being thus made
easy Ulysses expected to march hurried
ly t0t1e, Capital, issue a proclamation
and proceed to administer the govern
ment. 1t is due General Noyes to say
that he opposed the scheme with such
vigor that Grant abandoned it and con-
cluded to carry out the original plan Of
circumnavigating the globe and coming
in at the Golden Gate.-Bolt. Gazette.
That is the way the gold-bug editors
dash off lie nowadays. When they
tell the truth after awhile nobody will
know whether to believe them Or not.

Bound. Gagged, and Robbed.

Andrew Crivona of Paterson, N. j.,
entered the Tombs Police Court yester-
day, and asked for a warrnt for the ar
rest of Angelo Larry and Angelo Baptisto
for burglary. They, he said, had intro
duced themselves to him as friends of his
sister, and he invited them to sleep in his
house while they remained in Paterson.
On the evening Of the second day that
they were in Paterson, he, on return
home, found his wife gagged, and hand
cufied, and locked in closet. She said
that Baptisto and Larry had attacked her
while she was alone, and after gagging
and tying her up, had torn off her ear
rings, taken her gold watch and chain,
and other jewelry, and ransacked the
house, taking $500 in money. Crivona
traced Baptisto to Vineland, but had
been recommended not to have him ar
rested until he could have Larry, who
was the principal. Justice Duffy could
not give the warrant.
