Among the features which distinguish
New York from the other great seaports of
the world is the aggregation of shabby
woodpiles. ratholes and stone heaps that
do duty as docks and piers. These would
long ago have frightened foreign shipping
entirely away from this port had not the
main lines of interior transportation found
their natural eastern termini here and
refused to be driven away. For years
commission, almost independent of every
one but itself, has been going through the
motions of improving our dock system.
and has occasionally surprised the public
by perfecting some samples of what our
docks should be. It is claimed that the
commission is not entirely to blame for the
delay. it having found no system whatever
to begin with, some of the docks being pri-
vate property and others leased on terms
that forbade immediate changes of q radical
nature. Better things are promised for the
future, however, and not the least Of these
is the asserted Willingness of the commits
sion to place itself within the control of tho
Board of Assessment and Apportionment
and become an integral portion Of the city
machinery. Any change that promises
greater activity and efficiency is to be
heartily welcomed.

Two Important Laws.

There appears to be some prospect Of
the enactment ola tolerably fair apportion-
ment law at the present session of the Legis-
lature, as good body of rep ublicans in the
House seem we'll disposed to act with the
democracy in passing o satisfactory bill. while
the Senate will scarcely be likely to make
any factious opposition. Many of the mem
bers expect to 90 before their constituent
cies for reelection next autumn, and il
would not be wise for them to handi-
cap themselves with the discredit of hav-
Jag fourth time interposed partisan
opposition to one Of the most just and
republican provisions of the constitution
to wit, that which secures an equal repre-
sentation in the Legislature to oil parts Of
the State. The law may not wholly satisfy
the democracy-may not, indeed. concede
to democratic counties the full number Of
Assemblymen to which they are entitled on
o strictly impartial apportionment--bu it
will have enough of fairness in it to be salts
factory and to relieve the republican organi-
zation of what must be. in all honest mems
eyes, most discroditable and contemptible
piece OF partisan injustice
II the Legislature In addition to O fair
apportionment law will give us O sound.
we'll considered and practical excise law, it
will deserve credit and will command public
approval The most earnest and uncom-
promising advocates of temperance must
by this time sec that tho present law cannot
be strictly enforced in n city like New York |;
that o too liberal Interpretation of its pro-
visions will not only be tolerated but APP
proved by popular sentiment, and that like
oil injudicious and unfit statutes il does
great deal more harm than good. II we can
obtain strong, efficient excise law that will
place the license fec at q fair amount, insure
the strictost kind of police supervision over
places where liquor is sold, and the prompt
and certain punishment of oil violat ions
and evasions of its provisions, we shall
have o better regulated trade in the city,
less intemperance, fewer unlicensed saloons
and much larger revenue for our excel
lent charitable institutions. The excise
question ought not to be pushed over until
late day in the session, but ought to be
pressed forward by our best represent natives
without delay as being one of the most i'm
portant that can occupy the Legislatures
attention.

How to Fiji Churches.

One of the good stories OF the late war
was that OF the colonel who, on hearing
that hundred men Of rival regiment had
gone to church, promptly swore COM
pound oath, detailed twice as many men
and sent them to the sanctuary under
n sufficient guard. 1t has been one
of the disadvantages Of peace that no
such vigorous religious measures have been
practicable. but AN acceptable substitute is
suggested by the experience of the Jurors in
the Smith murder case in Jersey City. They
attended their respective houses of worship
yesterday, each one under charge Of a con-
stable When this report becomes noised
abroad we doubt not that the Church will
become at once the main bulwark Of the
jury system and that Il statute compelling
all juries to be drawn late on Saturday
nights will fully meet the views of the
unco guild. The only drawback to the
complete success of the plan will be found
in the small number of jurors available at
any one time, and it may yet become an
honest question whether, tor the sake Of
extending the good work, it may
not be advisable and excusable to
hire abandoned characters to slaughter
few hundred superfuous citizens
and thus increase the supply Of jurymen.
If the system had nothing to recommend it
but the enforced attendance of the con-
stables it would still be inestimable, for
whatever influence can put the average
ofkcer-holder within sound of the Word will
be putting the Gospel where it is least
known and most needed.

An Englishnan's View OF the Plague.
Russophobia has ragged grandly in the
minds of English people from time to time,
but we doubt if there ever existed an Eng
lishwan more thoroughly mad on the SUBJ
ject of Russian duplicity, Russian ambition
and Russian designs of conquest than the
one whose communication we print to-day.
With o robust faith in his own perspicacity
that is admirable in its way this hater Of
Muscovite designs presents theory thot
there is no plague on the Volga-that
the whole story. is grand Russian scheme
to hide an enormous accumulation OF troops
on the Caspian for the conquest of Persia
and for the conformation, presumably. Of
the British forces in Afghnnistan. For our
part we can conceive that Russia might have
hid such purpose if she had it more effec-
lively than by calling the attention Of the
whole world particularly TO that part of her
Empire; but the Haglishman does not view
the subject in that way. His theory is o
gigantic piece of stupidity; but yet he only
goes stop further than the British Minis
try has several times gone in the interpreted
ton Of the acts of the Russian government.
In fact, from the commencement of the
negotiations that led to the late war-and
all through the war-all England regarded
Russia in about the same light in which she

The WEATmER.--The area Of high pressure
noticed having reached the Atlantic coast is
still slowly moving eastward into the Atlantic.
and the prevailing southcrly and southwestcrly
winds north of Cape IIatteras are OH its western
margin. From Manitoba another area Of high
barometer has commenced TO descend over
the upper lakes and to extend east
ward into Canada, causing easterly winds
over both regions. West of the Mississippi
and south Of the Platte valleys the pressure is
decreasing with the advance of the depression.
which Is now central in Texas, and inclined to
extend northward, as we indicated yesterday.
Snow has fallen on the northern and northeast
ern margins Of this depression from the Central
Ohio to the Lower Missouri valleys, and rain
has fallen in the Lower Mississippi Valley and
westward The area of cloudiness extends from
Texas northeastward to Canada and the lakes
and porthwestward to the Upper Platte Valley.
Areas of cloudincss, with rain, also occurred
during yesterday on the South Atlantic coast
Temperatures have risen along the Atlantic
coast and in the Central Valley districts, but
have fallen in the North and Northwest. The
winds are everywhere moderate to fresh. The
weather in New York and it's vicinity today will
be warmer and cloudy. with snow or rain, and
easterly to southcrly winds. Tomorrow it will
be cloudy and warm, with RAIN.

subcommittee. Mr.. Kelly perceives that
the quarrel cannot be perpetuated without
destroying all hope of carrying the State for
the democratic party in the fall election. and
with it all hope Of electing democratic
President next year. These tokens of SUBJ
mission give q great advantage to Mr..
Tilden, who will probably succeed in con-
trolling the State Convention.
AS to candidates for the Governorship
there seems a general concurrence of opin-
ion in both parties that Governor Robinson,
who is devoted to the Tilden interest, will
be nominated on the democratic side. TO
be sure, ex-Canal Commissioner Wright,
who is On irreconcilable anti-Til-
den man, dissents, and thinks the
party could be best united by the noDiina-
ton OF Mr.. Seymour. This card was
attempted to be played in the Convention
which first nominated Governor Robinson,
but without success. There can be no
reasonable doubt that Mr.. Seymour will as
unyieldingly refuse to enter the arena this
year as he did then, and Mr.. Beach is not
strong enough to cope with the Tilden fac
ton in the present condition of the party.
1t is suggested by some of the republicans
that Mr.. Tilden himself may be the guber-
material candidate. This is utterly improba-
BILE. His hold on the State would
be made quite as apparent by the
election Of his friend, Governor Robinson,
and defeat of Robinson would not be as
Notifying to him as his own personal de-
feat. On the republican side Congressman
Hiscock is talked of as q probable candi-
date, but there is not yet any marked con-
centration of party sentiment in his favor.

We are sorry for Canada She has q
brand new Governor General, q royal prin-
cess, half of Niagara Falls and all of the
fisheries award; Sitting Bull still squats
within her borders and she has temporarily
the monopoly of cattle exporting from this
side of the Atlantic. But fnte, which forbids
perfect happiness to humanity elsewhere,
has apparently thought that Canada's cup of
prosperity was too full how much too full
may be imagined from the severity of the
infiction now threatened, said infiction
being paper currency league. From their
platform, which we publish elsewhere.
it would appear that the Canadian
''beaverbackers" have bought in the
dilapidated properties of the late green
back combination of the United States
and arranged for new show among people
who have not been made familiar with the
tricks Of the old one. Abundance of
money creates prosperity" coincidence of
the people the real basis of security" sad
equate supply of paper money" illegal
tender at face value"-these and
other fragments OF. the beaver
back platform sound as familiar and
worthless as the weather predictions
in last years almanac; but they are new to
Canadian ears, and will probably make as
much noise and confusion north of the st.
Lawrence and the lakes Us they did here
We can assure our northern neighbors that
tire dreaded pleuro-pneumonia is o ma
'tional blessing compared with this out
break of ignorance and political quackery

stamp out. Plain truth is q specific,

Canada can hardly have greater proper
ton of ignoramuses, rogues. halfway think
ers and full-fedged demagogues than We,
their neighbors ; but, in spite of them all,
common sense and frequent reference to the
experience of other nations that have tried
imitation enabled our people at the late
elections to dispose of currency nonsense
in quite an efectual manner. Let Canada
begin the fight at once no matter how
long or hard the struggle may be, the army
of honest money may rest assured that all
the dead will be on the side of the enemy,
and, better yet, that a host of pestiferous
little politicians will be found among the

The proposition before the Legislature to
pay the county officers in New York lib
ernl salary in lieu of fees commends itself
to tho judgment of tho people. There are
many objections to the fee system to which
it is unnecessary to allude, but the services
rendered by the County Clerk and Register
are not any more onerous or responsible
than those pertaining to many other public
positions, and there is no good reason why
they should not be accompanied by q stated
salary. There are certain risks about the
Sheriffs Office which may make that position
IN exception but the sentiment of the
people Is in favor Of fixed salaries. and
many believe that even the Sheriff ought to
be no exception to tho rule.
The fact is that tho person who is elected
County Clerk, Register or Sheriff in New
York is generally SO greedily preyed upon
by the political party to which no owes his
office that although his fees may be very
large he really gets no moro for himself,
and probably does not get as much as he
would If he had n regular salary and paid a
moderate political assessments The organ
ization is liable to exaggerate the real value
of feed Office, and is not too modest to
press its claims to the lions share Of the
supposed profits. The main incentive to
the proceedings against tho present county
officers has probably been the belief that
political party benefits largely by having
