MIR. Lamb and the Savings Banks.

NAf. LamD anu the SaNShSs huhAss
Mr.. Lamb, the Superintendent of the
Banking Department, read a paper on
savings banks before the BLnkers Conven-
ton at Saratoga on Friday evening which
must have soothed and gratifed those men,
bers of the Convention who are connected
with savings institutions Mr.. Lamb took
what we may call very lamb-like view OF
the general objects of our savings banks
and the motives Of their managers. From
Jeremy Bentham and Malthus down
the Superintendent traced the benev-
olent character of the efforts that
have been made to draw the people
by gentle and persuasive means into
habits of industry and economy. He
showed that the savings institution was not
established from mercenary motives-to
make money-as is the case with the avari-
cious discount bank, which EFFORTS the ex-
tremest cent Of interest on it's loans, but is
the aid gratuitously and benevolently
offered by the strong to the weak to
enable the latter not only TO keep
their small gains against "rainy day."
out 10 make tuem ylclu al iucreaSc. lie
maintained that the motives of the man
ayers are similar to those which prompt
other great public benevolent UNDER
takings, and have in them nothing of q
sordid nature.
We can imagine the pride and satisfac-
ton with which the officers of those savings
institutions which pay salaries of from five
to twenty thousand dollars year, and a
liberal number of them at that must have
listened to the amiable superintendent $
remarks. 1t is possible that some ex-
trustees of unsuccessful banks, such as
the Bowling Green, the Third Avenue
and others, may have been present and
heard the address. II so, they must have
been forcibly impressed with the injustice
that has been done to them by the public
journals and by the inconsiderate depos-
itors who have denounced them as swindling
knaves. After Mr. Lambs essay they must
have felt themselves more than ever excel
lent Christian gentlemen and good Church
members.

Elections Marsh lis.

The Congressional investigation into the
has brought out very clearly the partisan
use which is made of the "deputy mar
shals for elections purposes = and will in
crease the regret of wise men of both par
ties that the Elections Marshals law was not
repealed. 1t is law singularly liable to
abuse, and the testimony taken in Cincin-
natl shows that it was sham elessly abused
by the republicans there. The Elections
Marshals were used not to keep the peace
at the polls. but to electioneer for the re-
publican candidates, and by various and
devious means increase their vote. 1t was
shown, moreover, that the provision that
these political marshals shall be appointed
in every case from the voters OF the precinct
where they are to serve was violated, and
the partisan electioneering agents with mar
shals badges, paid by the public treasury
to perform a public service, but in fact
working for their own side, were chosen in
republican wards and sent to electioneer at
democratic polls.
What sort of men are selected by parti-
san marshal for such electioneering work
at the public expense was shown in the
Philadelphia investigation. 1t was proved
there that the republican marshal not only
selected unscrupulous and notorious parti-
sans, who spent their time as deputy mar
shals in electioneering, but several of them
were drunk on election day one was detected
in voting twice; one was Jail bird who had
served two terms, once for highway robbery
and once for shooting colored boy; an
other had been under arrest for five differ
ent robberies; another, notoriously dam
gerous character had been tried for murder;
another, a colored man, was the keeper of
gambling house; yet another was the keeper
of low drinking house; another had been
repeatedly in the House Of Correction for
drunkenness; another, again q colored man,
was the keeper of house of i'll lame, and
SO the list goes on. All were republican
politicians.
Senator Bayard was undoubtedly wise
when he urged the republicans to help to
repeal the Elections Marshals law, and
held that no party ought to be trusted with
such power when in possession of the gov
ernment, and that the republicans would
some day keenly regret their opposition to-
the repeal, because the law was necessarily
corrupting to them and would be to the
democrats if they should ever get power.
In resisting the repeal at the extra session
the republicans put themselves in the
wrong before the country, for they cannot
defend such scandals as the investigations
are uncovering. The country may con-
graduate itself that the democrats have so
absolutely committed themselves to the
repeal of the Marshals law. Some day
they may have to be held to their present
utterances.

THE WrATnER-Very little change has taken
place in the meteorological conditions since Fri
day. The barometer continues highest in the
West and is above the mean in nearly all the
,ther sections Of the country. The area of low
barometer that passed otf the coast on Thursday
evening expanded considerably and affected the
weather over the ocean far south as Florida
Rain fell throughout the South Atlantic and
Gulf States. Along the coast line the fall is
said TO have been very considerable Tho
weather in the Middle Atlantic aud New
England States partly cloudy, and
lear in the other districts. The tenn
Dcraturc fell in all tho districts ex-
,ept the Gulf coast, where decided rise
look place. The winds have been from light to
fresh over all sections Of the country east OF the
Rocky Mountains. 10 judge from present indi-
cations the cool spell that we are enjoying is
likely to continue until the middle of tho week,
when gradual change will fake place The
temperature in the yellow fever districts, al

At the time [ went down to the

voted, coming out. The way it was
managed was to take ten in at a time
and swear them, and then they would
vote and come out to make room for
more. They opened the door to adj
nit some more. and the negroes in
front tried to go up to the door through
the white men, but they would not al
low the negroes to do so two or three

their horses, in some way, and come
up ON the platform. One of them was

marshal about the condition of affairs

an officer of the polls who could make
these people go back, so that the ne
groes could come in and vote. and Mr..

visor OF the polls, stepped out and
told these mounted men to get back
away from the door, so that the peo-
pie could come up and vote. They
paved no attention to what he said
and L heard the remarks made that
they would not do SO; that the
