General Ewing is doing his best TO earn the
gratitude of honest people by setting the
silver men of the House to Quarrcling, and n
promising dispute has already begun. The
division il between those who want the
Senate amendments Immediately approved,
in the hope Of snatching more booty
hereafter, and those who want them resisted,
so that the Senate shall consent to a whole
sale phnderng at once. General Ewing pro-
nounces the bill in its present shape ga fraud
"and a cheat" apparently because it has
ceased to be the embodiment of unlimited fraud
and cheating it was before, and is, therefore,
sailing under false colors of dishonesty. He
also denouncts It as measure to hasten the
resumption Of specie payments, which may
surprise a few Senators who voted for ii on
Just the opposite ground. But the important
thing is that General Ewing has defeated
the plan of an immediate concurrence
in the Senate amendments. The Silver
Leaguc-thc Jacobin Club of the UOusc-has
ordered the bill to be seat TO the Banking
and Currency Committee, and IA strenuous at
tempt is to be made to force the House to
stand by the original bill. All this prOlongs
uncertainty, but it also gives the party Of
honesty one more opportunity.

The Castelani Collection seems lost to us
forever Tie trustees of the Metropolitan
Museum decided last night that the price
asked was an insuperable obstacle to its puu

been abandoned.

All forebodings to the contrary notwith-
standing, the Hudson River ice crop is de-
clared TO be a large one. A million tons have
already been housed, and over half million
more are expected to be put under shelter
this week. This heavy yield ought to insure
reasonable prices.

The progress of the State Survey shows, TO
quote the words of the report, that New-I0rk
is 9" the worst mapped State of equal wealth
to be found In the civilized world" if not.
to quote again, that there is "a better
Typographical map of the surface of the
moon than of the State of New York."
Much has already been done, however,
even with the small outlay of the
Commission, to better this state of things.
The triangulatiOn now extends through eleven
important counties in the interior; in these
counties ITO geographical points have been
fixed, and, during the last year. fifty lost land
marks established to fix county boundaries
have been recovered. This work is Of
the utmost value as the basis for
local and private surveys, but has been ac-
complshed AT a small expense. and tho cost
of its completion viii be so slight that the
Legislature should not think twice about
granting the necessary sum. For less than
81 200 chain of triangcs can be completed,
extending across the entire State. and The
Board are now of the opinion that this Is as
much as the State should do This is an appro-
p1ation which secures to the State something
well worth having.

In spite of the remonstrances of citizens, the
official conference yesterday came TO the conclu-
sion to prepare a bill providing for the erection
of an arinoly on Washington Square, and were
more concerned to know how the arinory should
be paid for than what should become of the only
park worthy of the name which the West Side
now enjoys Nothing remains, therefore, but
an appeal to the Legislature. If public senti-
mcnt will but show itself, the project will
promptly die.

The right of builder to run up cheap
houses by the score, indifferent to the safety

The BeacOnsficld policy is typifed by the
movements of the British fleet which last

Prince Bismarck has accomplished an I'M
portant diplomatcNfeat in cOunteracting the
n{
restoring harmony between Austria and
Russia. He has done this by quieting
the fears of Austria, and securing for
her the almost nominal concession that
the European Congress shall meet without un-
necessary delay. His success is, however, pri-
maiily due to the dominant influence which
the German Empire exercises in Europe, result
ing from its inherent greatness and power. The
fat for it amounts to that, OF Pr nee
Bismarck assures Russia the independence she
desired in settling the vexed questions result
ing from the war. Were she hampered with
fears of an Anglo Austrian alliance, she would
find it very difficult, if not impossible To COM
plete the work of emancipation in Bulgaria.
Judge Van Brunt has rendered decision
which will make uneasy the pillow of many a
savings bank trustee whose bank has gone to
pieces under him. Suit was brought against
a trustee of the Peoples Savings Bank TO
make him liable for the loss Occasioncd by an
investment in South Carolina bonds, which
were bought at less than par. The Judge de-
cidcs that the purchase was in violation OF that
clause OF the Savings Bank Act which limits
investments of deposits III public stocks ont
side of the State. excepting United States
bonds, to public stocks at par, and declares
the plea that the purchase was approved by
all the trustees to be OF no effect. This de-
cislon makes the trustee responsible not only
for the amount of his bond, but for bis share
of the loss entailed on the bank by invest
ments made in violation of law, and will
therefore tend to the greater security of de-
posltnrg

The Women's Christian Temper

First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth,

with expense the ladies should be re-

citizens generally. The custom of
giving coffee and sandwiches at the
polls is very commemorate. The ma
jority of the electors will remember
the disgusting scenes that were enact
cd at our polls in years gone by, when
liquor was too freely used, These
scenes arc now, thanks to the efforts of
Utica's noble ladies, conspicuous by
their absence, Let it be said to the
storner sex this year that the ladies
will not DO obliged to furnish all the
funds for these refreshments, The
Woman's Temperance Aid Society, of
West Utica, viii serve the refresh

that section will undoubtedly respond
to the call. The Seventh ward will
be supplied in a similar manner by the
temperance ladies Of that section.

PARAGON OF LONELINESS
Tho Daughter Of a Great Novelist Who
was 0rnamented With a Hirsute
Appendage.

A writer in London Truth, giving
an account of Marie Alexandra Dumas,
daughter Of the elder novelist of that
name, or Monte Cristo's Daughter"
as she wa fond of calling herself, who
died recently after spending some
years in a convent, saysi Marie
Alexandra Dumas wal of the unhappy
class of bearded women. In her life
time it would have been far from me
to allude to her affection. But she
left no children, and her illustrious
half brother and she were not on
speaking terms for eight years pre-
vious to her death. Mulatto women
are more often pretty than not. Marie
Alexandra belonged to the plain mi
nority. Hergreatintellectand her good
ness threw no identifying beam upon
her countenance, which had the most
pronounced features, and all out of
harmony with each other, of the jew
ish, negro Norman races. The eyes
of pale turquoise blue stood out from
their orbits. They expressed the
faculty for learning languages, but
they impressed the beholder with the
painful idea of strangulation There
was a patch of coarse red in the yellow
cheeks, which, in cold weather, be-
came blush. The nose was heavy and
aquiline, and the mouth pure African.
An even, white set of teeth were the
one redceming point. The figure,
which was separated from the head by
a virile neck, hirsute as that of the
femme a barbe, was grace and sym
metry themselves, and never lost elias
ITCHY or youthfulness of outline.
Marie Alexandra Dumas married,
twenty-eight years ago, a NJ. Petel,
who went out of his mind the day
after the wedding. He was taken
from the bridal chamber to be con-
fined in a lunatic asylum. When he
came out he refused to see his wife,
and in speaking of her did not show
the reserve which was to have been
expected from Q man of his education.
1t was his duty, according to the
French code of gentlemanly manners,
to have kept silent about her neck,
and 10 have stood to her in the rela-
ton Of a friend whose interests we're
identical with his,
"A French gentleman rarely forgets
that if he is not TO close the eyes of his
wife and bury her she will be called
upon to perform thesc melancholy
duties to him, The hapless grass
widow had affairs Of the heart which
ended cruelty for her. Charlotte
RroHte's Jane Eyre inspired her with
q passion for a manufacturer of chem
ical products, who was also a savant
aud hNMme Dc %lettres, His fortune
was considerable and he had lost his
eyes in a factory explosion. 1t was
thls het, eaHpled with his personal
qualities, which gave him value in her
estimation. She solaced him with her
readings of Lamartinc of DeMusset
and with her sympathetic converse
ton"

What the Elections OF Last Week
Signify.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
In one short word so far as the news
has yet reached us, the Republican
masses have everywhere come solidly
into line once more, as they always do
when real emergency cOnfrOnts them.
They have ended the apprehensions of
those who feared the Republican party
was going to pieces. They have laid
the rising spectre of unresisted Demo-
cratic control in Washington. They
have at least won handsome fighting
ground for 1880, and have probably en-
ablcd us to enter upon that Presidential
contest with the advantage of position
and the chances decidedly in our favor.
His a sp1endM rictory for honest
money The platform and the canvass
III New York were as explicit as words
could make them, and Mr.. Conkling's
admirable speech at Saratoga gave the
tone to the whole campaign. The ring
ing hardmoney speech of Galusha A.
Grow at Oil City, at the very outset of
the Pennsylvania campaign, did the
same for that State, and, next to Gov
Hoyt, Mr.. Grow has been the speaker
most in demand throughout their can
vass. In Massachusetts the issue was
yet more sharply drawn and it will be
long before another man of power
throws himself away on the theory that
Bay State voters really prefer rascality
in nationoal finance. All the more i'm
portant victories yesterday were won
in a square fight for the national honor,
and against the lunacy or dishonesty of
Greenbackers and their allies, the Dem
ocrats.
1t is the p"blic rc,rlict obom froud.
The ears of the country have been din
ned with that cry long enough: the
chosen President of forty millions has
been msulted at home, and the good
name Of the nation has been smirched
abroad as long as the people are willing
to stand it. Voters have made up
their minds as to where the fraud was
in connection with the last Presidential
election. They have read the secret
correspondence Of Gramercy Park. and
yesterdays ballots tell what they think
of it,
II IS the p"bhc veyti'ct on the course OF
me Drmocr"t,c po'fy 1" pomer, The
last session of Congress showed what
tHdt party IucdIll 10 40. III was gwen
just about rope enough to hang itself,
and it made the best possible use of
what it had. Incoherent, irresponsible,
ignorant rapacious, wholly unfit to gov
ern it's recklessness has disguised that
sober class of voters who stand in the
independent middle line and decide
elections. Their best Judgment is
shown in the increased returns Of
Republicans to the next House.
1t IS the Northern rer11ict on the atti-
hle of ,South Never was a defeat
ed people so generously treated; never
did a victorious Administration make
such sacrifices to conciliate its enemies
and promote harmony. The renewal of
bulldozing in South Carolina, Louisiana,
and elsewhere has been one Southern
response The firm alliance between
the Solid South and the dangerous ele-
ments at the North for soft money and
raids upon the National Treasury is
another The Northern people have
seen these responses, and the vote
shows that they understood them.

THE West Union Gazette, noticing
the removal of the Manchester Press in
to new and more commodious quarters,
has few evidently sincere remarks
about the Press and it's editor, which we
copy, because they embody our own
sentiments better than we can express
them:
The Press is marvel. 1t is edited
by printer, H. l.. Ram, who possesses
more than the average ability as a wri-
ter and printer embodying within him
self in rare degree all the elements
that conspire together for the perfect
newspaper man. His paper is thing
of beauty and JOY forever in profess
sional eye In all Of it's handsomely set
advertising columns, numbering eigh-
teen, there are but four foreign adver-
tisements, and they occupy only a
column. His patrons live at home,
proud of their Press, as we'll they may
be. for no Investment Manchester makes
brings larger return than this. Long
live Bro. Ram and his Press'
