MRS. TILTON,

New YORK. July 5.-The Star says:
Mrs- Tilton has Of late received numerous
offers to lecture. the most liberal being
one from the manager Of . bureau here Of
q. 600 for forty-six rights. This proposal
has not yet been either declined or &C
copied. This is. however, but one of nu-
merous offers and invitations made TO Mrs
TiltOn for this purpose since the trial.
She has received some most extravagant
letters from all parts Of the country.
Soon after the close Of the great trial she
received letters from Boston, Chicago and
several literary bureaus claiming TO guar
antee fortune from her efforts. Among
some Of tine Overtures MADE may be mem
toned q minister IN Chicago, who asked
her to give q lecture in behalf Of his
church. that was heavily in debt.
The letter containing this proposal did
not propose anything in the way of remun-
GRAFTON, but as she was well known and
everybody anx ods TO see her, he thought
the lecture would help the church out of
its calamity. In fact almost every other
sensation monger in the country except
Barnun has endeavOred to bring her be-
fore the public. Bureaus both east and
west have offered her fiartering induce
ments. but to all of them she has main,
tanned silence.

Cleo nsing the Synagogue.

Word comes from New Jersey that the
pastor of congregation in that decorous
State has considered il necessary to rededi-
cate his church to heaven, it having been
desecrated to o greater or less extent by
some portions Of an entertainment lately
given in it for the benefit Of religious
body which has no church Of its own.
Aside from the unfraternal slap which is
given by implication to the offending
society the Jealous pastor seems to have
been guilty OF an old and blundering
notion, still too prevalent. that whatever is
amusing is also utterly out of keeping with
things pure and holy, and is quite likely to
be sinful. This peculiar idea has in differ
ent ages done a great deal toward making
religion unattractive and even hateful to
many who really needed all the help that
the Church could give them, which seems
somewhat different from the purpose
for which organized religious bodies
exist. There are but few church buildings

Why Not

Few crimes have ever been committed in
New York that have excited greater indig-
nation in the community than that of the
outrage on MI. Stewards grave. 1t is one
Of those revolving acts which, like the steal
ing of poor little Charley Ross. makes the
entire people feel like resolving themselves
into q body Of detectives and hunting the
criminals down. Everybody sympathizes
with the family and friends of the deceased
gentleman, and there would be general
rejoicing if one of the many wild stories set
aAoat in regard to the success Of the search
should unexpectedly prove true and the
fact should become known that the remains
we're recovered and the malefactors lodged
securely in prison.
But if the efforts Of the police to discover
the guilty parties should fail what is to be
the next step? Ought any reward to be
paid to the men who have committed the
crime for the restoration of the remains
It would Of course be painful trial for the
late Mr.. Stewards relatives and friends to
abandon the thought Of recovering the
body, but would not even that be prefera-
BILE to rewarding the wretches who have
been guilty Of the revolving act? Why
should not the robbers Of the grave be
made to understand at once that even if
the remains are to rest forever in the
place to which they have consigned them
not . dollar will, under any cir
cumstances, be paid for their res
toration unless accompanied by the
arrest of the guilty parties? Malice
and rage can work no harm to the dead,
and the most severe punishment that can
he inflicted on the miserable creatures who
have committed this outrage is to convince
them that they can never realize profit
from their crime. The offer Of a reward for
the discovery of the remains, coupled with
the arrest Of the criminals, has been crit
icised in some quarters, but we believe that
proper course has been pursued. Let it
be positively known that no reward will
under any circumstances now or hereafter
be allowed to go into the pockets Of the
robbers Of the grave, even If all thought
of the recovery Of the remains has to be
aban doned, and the single consideration
that holds the thieves together and induces
silence will be removed.
The New York herald., 1878-11-19

tempts of the government to collect interest
on the loans, and if they do not eyade pay
ment OF the principal it will not be from
any lack of effort or ingenuity. The Texas
Pacific jobbers aspire to emulate that ex-
ample. II they once get the expected sub
sidy, under the plausible name of a
loan, they will be as unscrupulous as the
existing roads in evading the payment Of
both interest and principal, and will make
common cause with them in corrupting or
perverting Congress and defeating compul-
sorry legislation. If a subsidy is granted to
the Texas Pacific one will also be given to
the Northern Pacific and to the Atchison,
Topeka and Kansas. which is also to be con-
tinued to the Pacifo. If the existing road
is too powerful for the control Of Congress
what will be the case when il is reinforced
by three othefs as greedy and unscrupulous
as itself and having common interest
in refusing to pay back or account for
the millions of public money which they
had filched from the Treasury under the
pretence of a lean? The only safety lies in
a northumberland opposition by the press
and the people to every subsidy scheme,
whether for railroads or steamships. If
Congress comes near enough to this mael-
strom to circle around it's edges it will in
evitably be drawn, and the Treasury with
it, into the immense and devouring vortex.
This is subject on which the efforts OF the
lobby and the action Of Congress. should be
watched with the keenest vigilance during
the coming session.

The Banks and the silver Men.


There is disposition in some parts Of
the West and South to find fault with the
course Of the New York banks in giving
notice that they will receive silver dollars
after the 1st Of January only as special de-
posit to be returned in kind. Some of the
silver dcmagogues are telling the people
that silver being legal tender the banks
ought, therefore, to receive it just as they
do greenbacks, or as they will gold after
January l.
The fact is that the banks propose to
treat the currency Of all kinds precisely as
the government does. After the 1st Of
January the Treasury will redeem the
greenbacks in gold, and it will pay out in
differently gold and greenbacks. But it
will not redeem the silver dollars in either
gold or greenbacks. The holder Of thou
sand silver dollars will not be able to 60 to
the Treasury and get greenbacks for them.
Why should the banks do what the Treasury
will not do?
If Congress, as soon as it meets, will pass
law directing the Treasury to redeem the
silver dollars in gold or greenbacks on pre-
sentation in sums OF a hundred or thou
sand dollars, and tho fractional silver in
sums OF twenty-five or fifty dollars, the
banks will, without the least doubt, at
once take silver on deposit on the same
terms with gold and greenbacks. More
over, such law as this will open the way
for very large circulation Of silver-for all
that can be coined in the next year or two
Instead Of grumbling at the banks for de-
clining to do what the Treasury will not
do tho silver people ought to urge Con-
eress to adopt at once such law as We
have suggested. If they mean business
they will do SO, but If they only mean
demagoging around the country Of course
they will not.

Alleged Sugar Fra uds.

1t is vexatious to honorable men to be &c
cused Of wrong doing; and we cannot blame
Mr.. Theodore Havemeyer, Of the eminent
sugar refining firm of Havemeyers 4 Elder.
for pointed remonstrance he has made, in
letter to the New York press, against
the anonymous ISLANDERS which have
been Tor some time flung at the body
Of sugar refners in this city. He says, very
truly, that as to frauds upon the revenues,
the laws, which are very stringent, and
even needlessly SO, are enforced by the gov
eminent with all the vigilance of its officers
and all the power in its possession; |;
and to assert That frauds are, nevertheless,
committed is to say not only that mer-
chants having vast capital invested in one
Of the most important industries in the
country would hazard their means, as we'll
as their good name, by committing frauds,
but that the government is not able to
prevent or detect them if they did, which
is absurd. The charge that American re-
iners adulterate their sugars, Mr. Have
meyer not only denies, but offers that the
refners will open their works to exam-
iners to be sent by the press, who shall
watch all the stages of the refining process
and report the result
We do not think this either necessary or
advisable. The fact is we'll known to all
who care to know it that American sugar
refncrs carry on their business nowadays
: with better machinery and methods than
ore used in other countries; their success is
based upon the superior ability and intelli-
gence with which they conduct their busi-
ness, and also upon tho possession Of
abundant capital, which is necessary to its
successful prosecution. If any one charges
fraud or sdulteration against the sugar re-
finers it is his duty to do it publicly, and TO
prove the accusation true. If he does not do
this he is no more to be regarded by the
public, and will receive no more attention
than any other slanderer.
The business of sugar refining is now
conducted with such perfection in this
country that Messrs. Havemeyers 4 Elder
to take them as an example--probably re-
fine sugar at less cost than any European
establishment; and if the present laws
fixing sugar duties and drawbacks were
modified SO as to give to this important
branch of industry, which employs some
thousands Of workmen, fair chance, we
should probably before very long sell re-
fined sugar to large part of the world,
with great advantage to our foreign COM
merce and our home industry.
