defeat the proposed repeal of the Resumption
Act. With that act, the Administration is both
warranted and required 80 to interpret and
execute any silver bill that may be passed as TO
prepare for resumption of specie payments. Inc
Senate bill can be so interpreted and executed.
If the friends of a sound currency and OF the
public faith stand firm, we do not believe that
arepeal of the Resumption Act or a fatai chahge
of the Silver bill can be passed over veto
In that case the extreme repudiators are likely
to insist upon measure which Will be beaten
If. on the other hand, they suffer the Senate
bill to pass, it can be used as a mode OF pre-
pairing for resumption, and, repeal of the Re
sumption Act being prevented, can be rendered
nearly harmless. Victory is within reach, II
defenders of the public faith do their duty
like men.

him credit for doing all that he has done,
with the very best intentions. But Mr..
Hale insists that the President is learning
"the lesson of misplaced confidence,
when he finds in less than year
after his Inauguration one member of the
Louisiana Returning Board in jail, and an
other likely soon to follow him. 1t is evident
that MIR. Hale and Mr.. Garfield also, in all that
they said in denunciatic? OF the New-Orieans
prosecutions, had their Republican colleagues
with them. and it is as little in doubt that
their view of the legality of Mr.. Pack4d's
election is that entertained by a majority OF
Republicans.
The comparative tranquility which has been
reGstablshed in Europe Is reflected in the
speeches made by Princes Bismarck ana
Auersperg yesterday. The former defended
the good faith Of Russia, and declared that
German interests in the free navigation OF
the Danube and the Dardanelles would
be respected by her In the settlement
OF the Turkish conflict. He gave the
Car good-natured hint not to he too
exacting, but was quite emphatic In saying
that Germany could not be dragged into war
10 keep Turkey from destruction. The Aus
trian Premier spoke with some reserve, put
was willing to abide by the decision OF the
Congress or Conference proposed by his Gov
ernment. 1t is evident from these explanations
flat an nglo-Austrian alliance is totally inn
possible, and that Russia may do as she likes
with Turkey, provided she pays some regard
to the common interests OF Europe.
As orr local columns show, the residents oil
the region about Washington Square are IN
diznant at the rather contemptuous fasflon III
which their representations with reference to
the armory project were received by the
official conference, and propose measures
which ought to convince the Legislature that,
in this matter, the peoples servants are
striving to be their masters. The various
pretexts that have been advanced by the adv0-
Gates of the scheme are so absurd as scarcely TO
need refutation. General Shaler, for instance,
thinks the park will be improved by having
handsome building erected there-reasoning
which might be used to justify dotting Central
Park with elaborate police-stations or erecting
municipal offices in Madison Square. Mr.. Kelly
sanctions the step on the ground that prop
erty has greatly deprecated i'll the ncighbor-
hood, as if that fact did not imply an
increase of the poorer classes in the
surrounding population, and therefore an
increased necessity for the park. No one
disputes the right of the militia to an armory,
and, In times like these, there will be general
charity for mistakes which may arise from a
desire to economic In public expenditures,
but NewYOrk is not yet prepared for that
sort of economy which consists solely i'll
destroying its parks.

it Is disposed Of the proceeds are usually not
divided among the church members, but are devoted
to a perpetuation of Its purpose elsewhere.
1t may be urged, we know, that church corpora
tlons are extravagant, and erect buildings which
cost much more than they should. Some legal en-
actment" it was said at the meeting above men
Il ed, should be put to this extravaganza" we
are inclined to think that without the Intervention
of any legislation, check has already been put 10
it by hard times and the returning prudence OF the
religious community. It would be delicate mat
ter for the State to undertake to deter
mine just how much church shall cost
that, too must be left to the prudence
of the builders. Something. however. might
be done to limit the area Of untaxed land which
church may occupy. Complaint was made at the
meeting of the Municipal Society of the large
acreage of Fordham College, which is held free
OF taxes; but college requires ample
and handsome verge--a religious college rs
much as and perhaps more, than any
other The tendency, however, of churches within
city limits is not to cumber too much OF the costly
SOIL tax upon the cost of constructing churches
would exercise, we fear, an unfavorable influence
upon church architecture. Nobody wishes to see
these edifces cheap shabby, or with the appear
ance of having been built for day.

Mr. Luther Briggs architect, of Boston, has his
idea of how to save the Old South, intended, he OBJ
serves IN letter, toharmonize the general desire
with New England principles of economy and utiii-
ty." He would elevate the venerable structure
some fifty or sixty feet, and build under it hand
some and commodous business block Of stores and
offices. This. he says, would maintain the genuine
Old South without mutilation or alteration and on
its original site, the only difference being the few
extra feet of elevation 1t could be reached by con-
venient stairs or an elevator A moIe beautiful
compromise between historical enthusiasm and the
price of real estate could not possibly be hit upon
Mr. Briggs thinks that unless this plan, or some
thing like it, is adopted. the next generation
might put the property again into the market or to
use his own language, the shrine might be
swept away by the constantly recurring waves OF
the inevitably advancing tide of progressive utili-
tarianism" It's likely.

Sophomores and Freshmen, the last named seem to

a new aud much more serious phase when we ma
pistols freely used, and when one OF the assalants

most reprehensible affray might have resulted in
loss of life we trust that the students OF Princeton
College will take serious warning. We have ex-
peced destructive fires and other incidents result

to murder than is at all pleasant and it ought to
make anything like " hazing" In Princeton College

Another well-known name must be added
It seems, to the list of defendant trustees
a list already too long and too distinguished.
General James Lorimer Graham, who has been
known for many years as prominent citizen,
and is now seventy-four years of age, has been
arrested on a charge of Incorporating
trust funds placed in his hands by relative,
who rcposed the utmost confidence in his in
tegiity. Other claims of the same nature are
said to be made by other relatives. While
General Graham denies all charges of personal
dishonesty, it seems evident that, by long
series of visionary speculatons, he has dissi-
pated his own fortune, and, whether with
authority or not, involved his relatives in his
disasters.
