NEW ORLEANS, MARCH ~. 1875.

The salaries paid by the city of New
York have lately been attracting the at
tenton OF the New York Legislature. Over
s11,oo0,ooo are paid out each year by the city
i'm salaries alone, many of which exceed
$4,000, while some are even higher than
$4,000 a year. Every branch Of the govern
ment IL overpaid, causing thereby, to a great
extent, the decentralization of New FORK poll
tics. Tt having become evident that some re-
duction In expenses must be made, the city au-
thorities decided to economically cutting down
the expenses Of the bureau Of education and
reducing the salaries Of teachers; as most
of these teachers are women, this can be
done without much political injury to the
party In power. The Legislature however,
was not satisfied with the plan, and demanded
every department of tho city government,
which was, Of course. given.
Nothing could be more favorable than this
table Tt showed that the force employed in
all the departments had been cut down con-
siderably since 1876. and that New York had
more than thousand less officials than
last year. A closer examination, however,
showed that there was not quite as much re-
form in this reduction as appeared at first
blush. The Police Department had been cut
down, 1t is true 200 men, but the total Of
salaries paid the police was much higher than
In 1877. In the Department Of Public Works
the number of employees was one-quarter less
than last year, but the salaries of these en-
ployees were nearly double. In the Board Of
Charities In fact in all the departments, twas
the same story. The force employed had been
cut down for political effect, but at the same
time salaries had been SO increased that the
new regime actually cost more than the old
one. Such Is fair specimen of reform" in
these DAYS.

The old tailor In the Red Rover, who had
lived through seven wars and rumors of
wars, would have had a much larger expert
ence in these matters were he living now,
when newspapers can so easily beget serious
conflict. The habit that the Northern Radi-
cal newspapers dropped into Just after the
war, of writing up outrages in the South for
campaign purposes, has become so natural to
them that this faculty of invention is APP
parently beyond their control; they cannot
avoid inventing news and facts. They have
become so accustomed to write up" facts,
that is, to change them and invent them, that

they wish to defeat a claim in Congress, for
Instance, they do not use their editorial col
nmns to expose its injustice, to show why
Congress should not pass it, but hire CORE
spondents to write it up" to invent and lie
about it until they have actually created the
impression among some that part of what
they say is true.
Next to the Southern outages, these papers
have most utilized Indian wars for the party S
benefit. They all keep a correspondent on the
frontier, and whenever the Democrats begin
agitating the question of the reduction Of the
army, whenever bill to this effect Is intro
duced in Congress, these correspondents are
ordered to nullify and defeat this proposed
legislation by letters describing Indian out
RACES, the massacre of white settlers and the
certainty OF terrible Indian war. This has
been tried time and time again, and always
with success, as these tales are certain to win
over dozen or two humanitarian Democrats
who vote against party measure, because

The Republicans have control OF the New
Hampshire Legislature beyond doubt by a
fair majority, but arc still good deal
troubled about the senatorial question. They
entertained great fears of defeat and Of
losing the Legislature in the election the other
day, and had made arrangements In the event
Of this defeat not TO lose the senatorship
These arrangements have placed them in an
awkward position, from which they can
only escape by q complete change
Of front. New Hampshire lately de-
cided upon changing the time for hold
Ing It's State election from March to
November. As result Of this change it
elects two Legislatures this year, one of
which has been just elected a few days
ago, while the other viii be chosen in the
fall. The term of Senator Wadleigh expires
in March. 1879. Which of these Legislatures
elects his successor Fearing that they
would not be successful in March, the RepIb-
licans decided that the November Legislature
was the body to elect q Senator. Now that
they have secured tho March Legislature,
they want that body to make the
choice The question is undoubtedly com
plicated one. Wadleigh's senatorial term ex-
pires March, 1879. Ought not the Legislature
In existence at that time to elect the new Sen
ator? On the other hand, this Legislature,
although elected in November, does not meet
until June, some months after Wadleigh's
term expires. In order to prevent vacancy.
ought not the previous Legislature to elect
the SENATOR Wadl6igh, who is candidate
for reelection, will wait until 1879 The Leg
islature just elected seems disposed to assert
its privileges and elect Senator this year A
very pretty complication and contest might
be arranged If Bill Chandler were elected this
year and Wadlegh In 1879

riotous agitations In consequence OF this
agitation; In fact, these difficulties would
have broken out long since but for one fortu-
nate circumstance. The two races can abuse
each other without danger because they fail
to understand each other. Carl Schurz's
organ, the Westtiche Post, for example, has
been ridiculing and libelling the Irish In such
q bitter and partisan manner that its articles
would certainly have produced personal diff
culties were it not that the abuse, being writ
ten in German, Is incomprehensible to the
Irish of st. Louis.

st. Louis is troubled with a foreign war
between the Irish and Germans Of that city
which promises to become a most serious
affair; it has already got into the politics Of
the city, has become matter Of religious
discussion and debate, and is only too likely
to lead to personal difficulties. Some years
ago the st. Louis School Board determined
on the teaching Of German in the public
schools. This idea was protested against by
many citizens Of other nationalities, but as
the Germans were influential in politics and
exceedingly numerous, they succeeded in
their scheme and German became regular
course in all the public schools. Some weeks
ago the question was reopened, and pc
tition, largely signed, was presented to the
School Board asking that the Irish Ian
guage also be taught in the public schools
This was intended as direct attack on
the system Of teaching German, but the leu
tonic members of the board thought it wise to
overlook the attack, and while they de-
clined the proposal did so on the ground
that funds were too short to permit the
introduction Of any new studies In the schools.
The Irish thereupon demanded an investiga-
ton of the school finances. This showed a
large debt, large deficit each year, caused,
so the Irish declare, by the teaching of Ger
man, which is undoubtedly the most expen-
sive branch of study taughtin the schools. To
still further complicate matters the Irish de-
cided few days ago upon shutting up the
Catholic parochial schools and taking advan-
tage Of the public schools, for the support of
which they pay heavy taxes. Some $4,000
children, who have not attended the public
schools hitherto. will, therefore, demand ad-
mission to them in very short time.
Such was the origin of the St Louis school
war, which has now become race and reli-
gious question and engendered all the bitter
ness that such conflicts always do. The Irish
insist that the schools shall not be managed
solely for the benefit of the children of Ger
man parents; the Germans are seeking to
make the fight religious one, and are shout
ing that old cry which has proved so often sue
cessful in the North that the Catholics want
to get control of the public schools.
The question has entered into politics, the
newspapers and the churches. The next
election in st. Louis will undoubtedly turn
wholly on it. There are possibilities even OF

mise of Mr.. Eugene Hale. Yet the
reflection arises that onlya few months
ago this Mr.. Hale was held to be per-
son of enough consequence to assume
the leadership OF the Republican side Of
the House of Representatives and the
Craftsmanship of the national Kepubli-
can committee. With the duties of these
positions he managed to combine the
championship of the cause of ex-senator
Robson and of naval crockedness gen.
erallv. He was also the inventor Of
of that SPLENDID piece of campaign liters-
ture entitled Mexicanlzation, or The
New Revolution, which furnished the
Republican press with topics for many
a blood-curdling article and caused the
New York Graphic and Boston ADDER
tiser, give a double-leaded warning OF
pepding interHecine strife. Such man

swept, unhoDored and unsung. There

Greenbacks VS.. Bank Notes.

One OF the questions now being discuss
ed in the political canvass in several of
the States, is the policy of displacing the
National Bank paper and substituting
therefor an equal amount of paper
money, issued by the government and for
the payment of which the government
alone is responsible. In some places the
proposition is to substitute greenbacks. for
the iegal-tender notes of the government,
whlle In other quarters it is proposed to
take up the national bank notes, and
furnish the banks in lieu thereof with
notes OF the government, receivable for
all public debts, but not legal tender
between private parties.
The substitution of government notes.
OF either character, would result in a
saving TO the treasury of several millio ons
OF dollars. The interest now paid to
National Banks, on the bonds deposited
in the treasury to secure the payment of
OF national bank paper, amounts annu-
ally to S17 100000. AT one time it was
several millions more, and perhaps would
average not less than 5000, 600 for the
last ten or twelve years. The surrender
of part of their circulation by some of
the banks, and the substitution of A.
and o per cent. bonds in place of the
bonds originally deposited by others, has
reduced the amount of interest, now
paid the banks ON their capital, to about
Sll ,OOO,OOO We can see no valid reason
why this vast sum should longer be paid
to the banks. They have already drawn
from the treasury more than 500, ,000, 900,
which has enabled them to declare heavy
dividends among the stockholders, and
which has advanced the stock they held
far above It's par value. In addition to
this, the bonds deposited with the gov
ernment have been greatly appreciated
In value by the legislation of Congress,
and the reduction of the public debt,
since they were deposited in the treasury.
1t may be safely assumed, we think,
that the advance in the value of the
bonds deposited as capital, together with
the amount of interest paid the banks,
and the enhanced value thereby of their
stock, is fully equal to the value of the
bonds at the time they were purchased
and deposited with the governments.
There never was any good reason why the
banks should have been paid interest on
their capital. The franchise secured was
full equivalent for the interest on the
money invested. Had the act creating
the national banks provided that no in.
terest should be paid on the bonds,
enough banks would have been organi-
zed under the act. No injustice, there
fore, would be done to the banking in
stitutions, which have been so long pen
stoned on the taxpayers of the country,
in so changing the act creating National
Banks as to relieve the treasury from
further payment of interest to these insti-
tutions. The question of substituting
government paper for national bank
notes, we will discuss hereafter.
