THE yEsroR or AMERICAN SCIENCE.


Few men in the present century will leave a more
permanent impression upon American science than
the late Professor Henry. As diScOyerer, he stood
in the front rank His name will be indIssOnbly con-
uccted with the invention of the electric telegraph,
with the system OF daily weather reports with the
Use of the fog signals in our lighthouses. But inn
portant as were these researches, they were not
more valuable to science and to the world at large
than the plans and systems OF which nc
was the author and organizer, that had
for their object the interchange and extension
of knowledge. The Smithsonian Institution owes
its method and its usefulness chiefly to Professor
Henry. 1t is the scientific exchange OF the world,
and serves as Il clearinghouse by which the inves-
tigators in each line of research may be in
formed of what advances are made, what
discoveries indicated, all over the globe. Besides
this. the Smithsonian employs It's funds in
publishing the abstruse but valuable works
of specialists works that would not find popular
demand sufficient to pay for the proof-reading, but
having the possibility of priceless worth to science.
As the President of the National Academy Of
Sciences Professor Henry also the leader in aid
ing special researches by means of its funds. In all
these matters he took the large view of the value of
knowledge; never permitting the question. What
use is il p to interfere with aid to method of study
that promised new results.
Although at the opposite extremes of the scientific
field the one being devoted to physical and the
other to natural history inquiries, Professor Louis
Agassiz and Joseph Henry had many points OF simI-
larIty Both madc their greatest discoveries
in their earlier years. Both when they
grew older laid broad plans for the future
of science in this country, and paved the way for
their success Both lived long enough to earn
the title Of venerable, and in his advanced years
Professor Henry was Justly called - the Nestor of
American Science" Both surrounded themselves
with circle of younger men of like pursuit.
bound to them alike by gratitude and admira-
ton; and both were beloved. Each left behind
HIM IN unfinished work, but with the foundations
so we'll laid and the plan clearly outlined that
other hands can complete it. Each by his energy
and whole-soued devotion has given material i'm
pulse to scientific discovery in this country and
helped to place the United States in the foremost
rank Of nations engaged IN the quest OF knowledge.

Should the Turks hesitate no longer
to surrender Shuma Narna and Batum
General Todlcben will have done good
service to the Russian cause by
the timely threats which brought the
Porte to terms. One report makes
the surrender contingent on the Withdrawal
of the Russians to Adrianople from San
StetanO, and the lines of Tchataldja, hut il is
extremely improbable that at this moment Cen
cral Todlcben would make such an agreement.
While there is danger Of war with England, it
is imperative on him TO remain near the Turk
ish capital, so as to bc able to keep the Otto
man Government in salutary fear, and deter 1t
from yielding too much to British influence.
In a military point of view it is important for
him to be at point whence in the event Of hos
tilities he might dispatch troops to the Bos-
phorus, the lines of Boulair, and to any other
places which the English might be expected to
covet While il is desirable for Rus
STA to have the three fortrcsscs in her hands,
their possession would not compensate for
leaving unguarded the DaIdaneles and the
entrance to the Black Sea.

The great fraud gup, which the Democratic
party has been busy loading for n month, was
fired yesterday. And it kicked badly. One of
the most respectable members Of the majority
presented the resolutions demanding an in
vcstigation into the Florida and Louisiana
elections, but the brief dignity which
the movement thus acquired was lost
when the Democrats refused to allow
the Speakers pledge to be fulfilled,
that Mr. Hale's amendment should be
given an equal standing before the House.
A charge of fraud in Florida was made the
subject of a high question of privilege, sur
rounded with all the pomp and ceremony
which is possible in the House of Rcprcscn-
tatiycs; charge of fraud in Oregon was con
temptuously bowled down by the same dig
nifed Democracy. There is lttle need Of
comment on the ab,urdity Of such a position.
The country will see that the Democrats OF
the House propose only to investigate charges
which they think some Of their opponents may
fear, and do not propose to investigate charges
which they themselves really dread. They
could not even face an argument on this
position In the House yesterday, but shouted
for the exclusion of Mr.. Ilalcs amendment
How, then, can they appeal to the peOplel
Though the Democrats can evidently COM
mand an almost solid vote on Mr.. Potter's
resolution, which will come up for action to-
day, the Republicans have had the best Of
the first days fight, and are likely to hold
their own hereafter They have still another
advantage in the revolutionary tendency of
Mr. Pottcr's admissions. The party has been
whipped together, and votes for an invcstiga-
ton. The only reasonable inference from
Mr. Pottcr's declaration that only such frauds
shall be Investigated as "became operative"
is that the title of President Hayes is to be
attacked. Is the party to be whipped to-
gether for revolution 2

The Emperor William ought to feel gratifed at
the hearty congratulations his fortunate escape has
elected. II Is satisfactory, in a special degree, to
find that President MacNahon put aside national
antipathes and joined in the manifestations of re-
gard with which the telegraph lines were freghtcd.
Late details do not throw much light
on the mental state of the wOuld-be assassin,
which might puzzle experts on rational response
bIlity. 1t was not compatible with sanity that he
should stuff ms pockets with sociastic documents,
and attack the Emperor at time and place when
he had little chance of etecting his evil purpose and
no likelihood of escape had he been successful.
Yet he seems to have been alive to the power of the
press and was so good natured as to call an editor
to account for attacking the Christian Socialists,
body who strive TO reconcile loyalty to the throne
with communstic vagaries. This party will prOba-
bly, suffer in public estimation on account of HodePs
misconduct, but he took care to avow in advance
that he was an Observation-Disclosures that may be
while acting as agent for the benevolent people who
were playing with socialism. Perhaps, eventually
the most sensible act that be attributed to him
will be his ayOwed intention to leave quickly a
world in which il seems he was more likely to do
harm than good.

Elderly farmers in this latitude who woke up
yesterday morning 20 find the tender vegetation in
their fields and gardens blackened by killing frost
were reminded of still wilder freak of the Their
mometer just forty-f0ur years ago. The Spring had
been, like this, remarkably forward one. when on
the 10Th May there came storm of snow and sleet
and freezing weather which even scOrched the
foliage of the forest trees then almost in full leaf
and in many cases killed the trees themselves. An
experience of this kind is a very wholesome dis
cipline for specifically inclined people who have
begun to lose faith in the almanac.

Governor Robinson has vetoed the bill upon
which DIR. l. |. Hayes labOred so carefully
that defining the powers Of the Superlnten-
dent of Public Works. undermining and sim
pisying the system of purchasing supplies for
the canals. and making many other needed
changes. The Governors reasons are stated
10 be, in brief, that the bill ties
the hands of the Superintendent III
the financial management OF the canals,
and imposes other improper restrictions
1t is to be regretted that the bill could not
have been allowed 10 become a law, with
the understanding that new legislation should
be had, if necessary, at the next session
About several of its important features there
is and can be no dispute. But no new legls-
lation can be had now, and unless the veto
can be set aside the old system must con-
tinue for another year.
Acting Supcrintendent Lamb has written
letter in reply to certain loose statements re-
spccting the savings bank system rs 1t has eX-
listed in this city. The criticisms were calcu-
lated to excite alarm and distrust, which this
letter was evidently written to alay. Mr.
Lamb certainly makes much better showing
for the New-York banks, as whole, than
would have been generally supposed consider
ing the number of worthless and corrupt in
stitutions which sprang up during the days OF
war-inflatiOn and Tweed stealing. More
than score of banks have failed in
this city during tie last six and half
years. There is every reason to suppose that
the sum finally repaid to depositors will be
nearly $8,OOO.OO0, the total loss being less
than $4.5OO,O00. The Superintendent makes
an interesting comparison of these figures with
the loss that would have been sustained il the
same amount had been invested in standard
stocks and bonds at the time from which the
comparison dates 1t was hardly necessary to
prove that the savings bank system is not a
failure, but this letter will be useful, never
theess, in quoting foolish fears.

the road not far from that place, he
was thrown violently from his buggy

choice of teacher for the upper school
school was deferred until next Monday
evening, when it is expected that the
board will be better informed as to the
qualifications of the applicants.
AN excursion train of three

accompanied the excursion and dis
coursed some sweet music at tho To.
