fresh boom Is given to the Tilden cause
In the West by the double-leaded declaration
OF the Louisville Cott ier-.Joarnat ia his favor
In fact, In favor Of the Old ticket OF Tiden &
Hendricks. Mr.. Watterson affirrn5 the wisdom
of the selection OF Tilden In 1876; declares that
ga greater campaign, better organized and
better led, was never made In this or any coun-
try" denounces "the insane and unjust effort
to make him the scape-goat for the electoral
tribunal disaster" and says his prudent course
In diseountenancing rash measures In behalf
OF his Claims TO the Presidency, viii, instead OF
proving weakness, be one OF the strongest
arguments In favor OF his election next year.
On the other hand the Tammany Hall Gene
raj Committee at their meeting last night
adopted red-hOt anti Tilden address to the
New York democracy declaring that "no man
must be allowed, by intrigue or Vaccinations,
or unblushing use OF money, or by conspiring or
combining with the enemies OF the party, to get
possession OF the public offices, SO that he may
use their patronage to force his own nomina-
ton for the Presidency on the democracy OF the
Union: and, least Of ALL must this be permitted
TO the man who, when elected to the Presi-
dency, was too timid and undecided to take the
Office which belonged to him OF right This
sounds like rank treason, but TIIden has more
than once shown the ability to stamp out any
rebellion started by Tammany, and no doubt can
do 1t again.

Among the points OF improvement In the new
school buildings should be tle placing of the
]an1tors house keeping rooms at the top of the
house instead OF in the basement, as at present.
For many reasons 1t is desirable that the tani-
tor should live On the premises, but the smell
from the cooking and other departments of
housekeeping permeates the whole building
very o1ensiyely when his family occupies the
basement. In New York the inspectors report
adversely to the use OF the ground floor In this
way, and In the new school buildings there the
janitor's rooms are placed on the upper floor.
Health Offcer Townshend In his report upon
our District school buildings recommends the
same change Of position for the janitor's quar-
tiers.

The democrats have been kept busy for some
months explaining why the November elections
went against them. They now have the salts
faction OF putting their adversaries on the stand
to tell just how 1t happened that Chicago and
st. Louis voted so hugely democratic the other
day. The Chicago Tribune explains that "re-
publican apathy and democratic enthusiasm
were wholly responsible" for the result in that
c1ty;-that Carter Harrison was popular and
Wright wasn't, and that the democratic ticket
was strengthened by the name of Mr.. Seipp. q
wealthy German, a brewer with extensive bust
ness connections.
The Globe-D ena0erat has much the same ex-
PLANTATION to make for st Louis. The blame for
not routing the democrats utterly, 1t says.
" must rest with the stay-at- home republicans
and with the good nothing central COM
mittee, which took no adequate steps to secure
Iuii vote. There must be something radically
wrong in the organization OF the party, since
only forty per cent of November's republican
vote was polled yesterday

The new ten-dollar certificates Will, 1T Is con-
ceded, serve a wholesome purpose In making
the general public ''bondholders," thus enlist
ing them On the side Of financial honesty and
the public credit, but 1t seems there is some
uneas1ness In money circles lest the certificates
should circulate as currency, and in this way
amount to an imitation OF the currency. 1t
would seem that the interest on the notes
would prevent their circulation as currency.
but 1t is held that they may pass at their face
value with the interest added, as the latter can
be easily computed from the table on the back
OF the notes. 1t is hardly likely, however, that
the certificates will displace the more con-
venient bank notes, very largely, or to an ex-
tent to appreclably Initiate the currency.

The Case of Gen. Fitz John Porter

II -
What shall be the final result of the Fit.
John Porter case depends upon the action OF
the President and Of Congress. The board
which recently made the report generating
General Porter, was an advisory one, to In
luire, come to conclusions, and recommend.
They have come to a conclusion indicating
General Porter and recommend that he be re-
instated into the army. This does not over
throw the decision of the court martial by
which he was caShiered. The decision or a
court mai tial is final and cannot be revoked.
General Porter Is at present out OF the army
and incapacitated on account of being cash
Tered to hold any position OF trust under the
government. The President can pardon, or
rather remit the penalty imposed by cashering,
In so far as relates TO disability TO hold Office
Congress only by special legislation can restore
him to the army The President may recon-
mend such restoration or may merely lay the
report of the recent board of inquiry before
that body for its action The board was ap-
pointed under a resolution Of Congress,
and Congress VIII act upon its report. In
case bill is passed restoring General
Porter to the army, it would practically,
though not directly annul the finding of the
convichng court-martial. The findings Of
court-martial which have received the ap-
prevail OF the President cannot be reviewed.
Ine recent report mas never Oeon referred 10
the Judge Advocate General Of the army for
revision Or recommendation. 1t was partic.
ular case, the reference Of which to him was
by no means necessary. There Is no question
that all the proceedings OF the board were
legal. II such doubt existed the Judge Adyo-
cate General would have probably been called
On for decision. If a special act of Congress
should be passed restoring General Porter to
the army, he would be restored to the rank
held by him in the regular, not the volunteer,
service. He was major general Of volunteers
and colonel In the regular army. He would
be entitled to claim back pay. In this case he
would get back pay as major general from
the date of his discharge to the date of muster
ing out the volunteers. This would cover
period OF three years, and such back pay would
amount to about 81, 900. In addition to this he
would also be entitled TO back pay as a colonel
from the date Of mastering out the volunteers
up to date OF reinstatement. This would be for
about fourteen years. and now would amount
TO about $50, 900. The total back pay to which
he would have claim would 1885, 900.
