'ipal dumping spot.

season, the pressure of which. by Melville
and Lancaster sounds or other passages.
might well make itself felt late in the
year in the southwark movement out
of Smiths Sound. Had the watch
on the Arizona been properly kept
for ice-by the thermometer-the dan
ger to the ship would have been per-
ceptible at any time within half an hour or
even an hour before the collision. Evil
IDENTIFY, therefore, that provision for safety
was absolutely disregarded. But the worst
feature in the case is that of the immediate
and culpabIe negligence in the failure to
perceive in clear night, fair in the course
of the ship, the looming, towering noun
tain Of ice. That there was assuredly no
watch whatever kept on deck that night is
demonstrated by the mere statement of this
fact, and the responsibility for such in
comprehensive negligence should be forced
home.

It is reported from Washington that the
Cabinet officers who have been so very
active in the recent republican canvasses
In Northern States apologize for not re-
peating their stalwart speeches in New
Orleans on the plea of tho sudden pressure
of official business. They agree that IL is
very desirable indeed for eminent repub-
lican speakers to go down from the North
TO Louisiana in response to the democratic
invitation to fair debate concerning the
stalwart allegations of rampant disloyalty
and political violence in the South, but beg
to be excused themselves. Secretary Sher.
man has the finances to regulate, Secretary
Evafts is absorbed in picking out Ministers
TO London and 1T. Petersburg, Attorney
General Devens has some law TO read up
for important arguments in the Supreme
Court, and 30 on. The situation Is sugges-
tive of famous batch of excuses in answer
to another invitation q great many cen.
turtles ago, and the result bids iair to be
similar. A certain man made great
supper and babe many to it, and sent his
servant at supper time to say to them,
"Come, for all things are now ready"
Just as the Louisiana democrats, on the
suggestion of the HEsALD, bid Northern re-
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1879-11-11

publican speakers to dare argue the same
stalwart issues in the canvass there which
they have been pressing SO vehemently
upon the consideration of the voters
OF Ohio and Massachusetts and New
York. But they all with one consent
began to make excuse. The first said, 81
have bought piece of ground and must
needs 60 and see 1t; I pray thee have me ex-
cused." And another said, 81 have bought
five yoke of oxen and GO to prove them;
pray thee have me excused" And another
said, II have married wife and therefore l
cannot come" This is very like the apollo
gies of President Hayes secretaries The
result in the case of the supper was that the
places at table we're filed from the high
ways and hedges in thoroughly demo-
cratic way, and If the State election in
Louisiana results in filling all the places
with democrats the distinguished republi-
can stalwart speakers who decline to take
any part in the political entertainment
must not complain.

TRENroNs coUNoILMEN IN TROUBLE

ISSUING SCRIP AND MONEY ORDERS IN VIOLA
TON OF CHARTER AND srATuTE-AcrroN OF
THE SUPREME COURT OF NEW JERSEY.
my TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
TRENTON, N. j.. Nov. 10. 1879.
About month ago the Common Council Of this
city passed what is known as the Five per cent scrip
ordinance designed to take the place of the city
ders by which the city for the past two years has
beep payna its debts. its salaries, &c. Mayor Rice
vetoed this ordinance and Thursday last Il
nasscd over his veto. Tonight q. d. w. vroom
made application to Chief Justice Bcasey for writ
of certorar to bring the ordinance to tho Supreme
Court for It's decision to It's legality. The writ
was granted.
Tho grounds on which application was made wore.
nrst that the ordinance In violation OF an act
making II crime on the part Of any municipal
board to vote for tho expenditure OF money In excess
the appropriations for the fiscal year. or for tho
payment OF money not appropriately second. that
II was viogtion OF the provisions or the city
charter. which limits tho amount OF Indebtedness.
The writ enjoins the council from issuing tho scrip.
city CLERK Yard says that the city II financially
good, the whole Indebtedness AMOUNTING to but
$vl3,2oO including wster.works and street improve
aud the rate of taxation $40 per loo for all pur-
poses. The floating debt Is Sl96UOO. He says that
tho budget for the fiscal year provides Tor $3.50 QUO
In OF expenditures, but this Will be swampcd
by old debts.
1t is ruinored that criminal proceedings will DO
taken against tho Councmcn who voted for the
scrip ordinance. Altogether there Is much excite
ment over the matter, while the policemen and
count. the city Treasurer having no money to pay
them.

Of yesterday, the disturbance began to dcvclop

lowed by rapidly rising barometer. The area
OF high pressure that oyerlies the central and
eastern portions of the country is recedng
toward the southeast as large area of low
barometer advances over the Missouri Valley
This latter depression is likely to affect all the
Middle and South Atlantic coast districts during
the next four days. Rain fell In the lake,
Middle Atlantic and central valley districts.
The weather was cloudy except OF the Allan
tic coast and in the Northwest. Tho tempera-
turc fell slightly in the Middle Atlantic and New
England States and rose elsewhere, particu-
larry in the Southwest. The winds have been
fresh to brisk in the Southwest brisk in the
New England States and light elsewhere. The
weather in New York and its vicinity to-day
will be warmer and partly cloudy, with occa-
siona rains. Tomorrow the same conditions
are Likely to prevail.

Earl Beaconsfeld's speech at the annual
Lord Mayors dinner in Guildhall last night
is more than usually redolent of his optim-
ISM In the airy way it skips on tiptoe
over the very serious political questions
which are agitating the British Empire it
reminds us OF some characteristic speeches
of our own late Secretary Seward
in great national exigencies. There
is no need of concern for British
industries, for business and manufactures
are reviving universally. There is no
trouble about the Indian finances, for the
relative value of silver to gold is rising.
There is no ground of apprehension con-
corning the miseries of the Irish tenantry,
for Her Majesty's Ministers will ''watoh
Ireland with anxiety suitable to the situa-
tion." There is no occasion for distress
concerning what has occurred in AZ
ghanistan, or alarm concerning what
yet may happen there, for the north
western frontier of the Indian Empire
has been strengthened and British infu-
ence is fully established in Central Asia.
There is no reason for shame arising
from the British campaigns in Southern
Africa, for the colonists have been taught
the art of elf-defence-presumab by rea-
son of observing the British blunders in de-
tending them-and her Majestys Ministers
are meditating some undescribed measures to
''increase the happiness" of the native pop
ulations. There is no cause to mistrust the
preservation Of peace in Europe. for the
power and advice of England will be felt
in the councils of the Continent All this,
rounded off with Latin quotation and
concluding with the assumption that both
old age and the Parliamentary elections
will spare the speaker to figure again in a
Premier's speech at the Lord Mayors dinner
next year and no more. Nothing respon-
sive to the just demands Of the British
people for domestic legislation, nothing
conciliatory to insulted Russia, nothing
apologize for the transactions in Zululand
or for the murderous Afghan revolt. It is
O speech in the true Beaconsfeld vein of
exasperating his opponents with glib bad
image and glittering generalities on an oc-
casion when the world had reason to expect
he would be serious and explicit. d'
