NEw YORK has Musical College in posse,
but whether it will ever pass the embryonic
stage seems somewhat doubtful. According
to the first statement. Samuel Wood (whose
will is the base of the whole thing) bequeath-
ed nothing for the purpose except an interest
in lawsuit. Then half million was said to
be the sum he was unable to carry with him
and had therefore left for the college; from
this to an undivided million was an easy
step; that sum rapidly doubled, and finally
the endowment fund of the institution is set
at the stately figure of three millions of dol
lars, As was inevitable. under the circum-
stances. the will is to be contested, and the
noble army Of lawyers will probably make
good thing out of it. The great trouble is,

has been careful to provide that the federal
courts shall not Interfere by Injunction with
proceedings In State courts. Rev. Stat.
U s., Sec. 10. This statute. in respect to
interfering with taxation, is legislation in
the same direction and it would seem rea-
sonable when Congress had full power to re-
strain interference by the federal courts
with State taxation. and used language
broad enough to fully cover that restraint,
and that construction is in accordance with
the spirit and tendency of prior legislation,
TO presume that the intention was to accom-
rlish that object. II this statute had been
placed among these defining the pow
ers OF the federal courts. there would not be
much, II any, doubt but that it was intend
ed Tor restriction upon those courts in all
cases. But it is placed among the statutes
relating 10 federal taxation. and that al
fords some ground for the argument that it
was only intended to apply to such
AS the scope OF this statute is somewhat
doubtful, and the propriety of restraining
the collection OF the tax by continuing the
injunction has been fully argued on the
general ground. it has been thought better
TO examine into those grounds rather than
turn tho question upon the construction OF
the statute merely.
On those grounds it appears t. be clear
that the Injunction should be dissolved. If
ultimately it should turn out that the taxes
are wholly illegal, the corporation of which
the orator Is member can recover them
back And it that corporation refuses to do
50, and thus to protect his rights, and he
has any legal and equitable right to his
share, 1t seems quite probable that he can
have his share decreed to him.
The injunction is dissolved.

We SUBMIT that this generation has had an
elegant sufhciency of Theodore Tilton, his
wife and his friends; and the persistency
with which they parade themselves before
the public shows not only that they have an
infinitely mistaken idea of their own relative
importance, buta surprising Inconsistencies
OF the fact that the final verdict has been
rendered and the case forever closed. The
whole nsuseous affair. with its mutual
friends, its Bessie Turner'S, and its raging
blatherskites, is happily thing of the past;
and as to whether Tilton and his wife are or
are not reconciled, and whether they stay at
home or 90 to Europe, the world is profound
ly Indifferent though perhaps slightly biased
in favor of the transatlantic trip. All it
asks is to be let alone, and to be no longer
bored with the melodramatic posturing of
the tempest-tossed couple.

which has been invited BY the Archbishop
Of Canterbury to meet at Lambeth, on the
2nd of July next Ia it will be represented

Some thirty American Bishops will proba-

to be considered are The best mode of

"a The relations to each other of missionary
Bishops and missionaries in the various
branches OF the Anglican communion acting
in the same country - The modern forms

We are getting to that point where we
count that day as lost whose low-descending
sun sees not at least one savings bank start
on its ethereal career heavenward. The
latest is the Si1-penny savings bank. of New
York city, which was closed by an iniunc-
tion obtained by Acting Bank Superinten-
dent Henry L. Lamb. The liabilities Of the
bank are Sl,7OO,OO0 and the assets nomi-
naily 81 600, 900, though Of course the real
deficiency will be enormously greater than
these figures would Indicate. The bank had
over thirty-two thousand depositors, mostly
poor working people, and the misery and
suffering entailed by the banks suspension
will be absolutely incalculahls. In too many
cases, We fear, the wolf at the door will
enter and take possession Of the desolate
hearthstone. For all this the officers of the
bank are esponsible-indeed, it is said that
they had known lwhat they could hardly
help knowing) for weeks that the concern
was insolvcnt-and they should be held to
rigid accountability.

TnE facts about the Dean-F Field contested
election eass, in Congress, are. in brief, as
follows: The district, in Boston, was very
close, and the first count, at the close of
the polls, gave small majority to Dean, the
Democrat There was NO charge on either
side that it was not fair election. But
MI Field alleged that clerical errors had
been made in counting the ballots and that
these errors changed the result of the cleo
ton. Accordingly recount was made by
the Mayor and Aldermen, as directed by
law, and the result of this recount verified
the allegations of Mr.. Field, and disclosed
clerical mistakes which showed that he had
a majority of all the votes cast. These facts
are not disputed by the party to the con-
troversy. But the Democratic majority in the
llouss, of course, had the power to declare
Dean elected, and they exercised 1t. Nine
Democrats were found with honesty enough
to vote to give the man who was elected
his seat, and if Benz. +. Butler. of Masss-
