Two states and Their Debts.

The legislatures of Tennessee and Vir-
ginia have just been considering the debts of
their respective States, the burden in both
cases being heavy and the creditors clamor-
Gus. Both bodies have had competent adj
vice from at home and abroad; both have
population, resources and everything else
which should encourage honest men to
reduce their indebtedness or to at least
make arrangements for paying interest
thereon, but they have treated the mat
ter in widely different ways. The Vir-
ginians, by fair majority, appear
to be making every possible effort toward
putting their affairs in businesslke shape !;
the Tennessee legislators, on the contrary,
pottered with their business as long as they
could without doing something and then
quietly disbanded and hurried off home,
like a lot of absconding debtors. Both
States may imagine that, because the affair
is their own, no one else will interest them
selves in it but the truth is that the whole
of the reading public is as well informed
on the subject as any of the principals are,
and that the degree of honesty OF each State
is being as carefully determined as if States
were individuals and every reader were
creditor. Both States have frequently
expressed desires for more men and capital
to develop their resources, and unemployed
men and capital are ready, but neither
labor nor money is going to trust itself
where business engagements are set aside
or disregarded. Tennessee's prospects
have been seriously injured during the
month, and every Tennessoean must bear
share of the loss and disgrace. Virginia,
on the contrary, has been steadily adding
to her old time reputation for honesty
and honor, and what each State has done
will constitute the public measure of it's
integrity for at least generation to come.

A ROllicking ExpIa ma ton.

After two weeks delay Father Flattery
rises to explain. We print in another
column his letter, which we presume relates
to a sermon delivered by him few
weeks ago on the subject Of charging
for admission to the mass. II it does not
relate to that subject we are at loss to
know what the letter is about. AS there
is no mention of the subject in his let
ter it is not altogether certain we are cor
rect in our supposition. 1t is a rollicking
sort of letter, mixing up absolution. Sancho
Panza, Don Quixote and Father Flattery in
such curious nelange that we might be
justified in supposing that it could not
relate to such a solemn question as
sermon from the altar of Catholic
church on q subject which was grave
enough to occupy the attention of
Plenary Council at Baltimore. But as there
is nothing else of late in which the rever-
end gentleman has figured prominently
we must take it for granted that his object is
to reopen controversy about the propri-
ETY. of exacting pay to hear mass. Therefore
we infer that the few opening paragraphs
are intended to convey to his friends by
mysterious hints Of inaccuracies the i'm
preston that the report of his sermon
in the HERALD few weeks ago did not
fairly represent what he said from his
altar We are willing to give Father Flat
terry the benefit Of this denial. No doubt
he knows what he said and what he did not
say But at the same time it would have been
more creditable to his calling to have pointed
out specifically wherein the report was
erroneous. The HERALD is always ready
and willing to correct errors, and he could
have saved himself ''the distinguished
honor of being abused for a whole week"
for saying things which, according to
his letter, never entered his head,
had he addressed to the editor Of the
HERALD the day after the publication of his
remarks few lines over his own signature
denying the correctness of the report. But
instead Of doing that he preferred to wait
two weeks and then to send us the rollick-
ing letter which we print to-day. The
Bible says there is time for everything,
for joking and laughing as well as for pray
ing and crying. But is it good time for a
priest to joke when the question is whether
the Catholic churches have right to dis
obey the mandates of the Pienary Council
forbidding the custom of exacting money
for admission to the mass? Would it not
be in better taste for the reverend gentle
man to explain by what authority he and
other pastors absolve themselves from obe-
dience to law adopted at a solemn council
composed of the highest dignitaries of the
Catholic Church in America?

Club LAW Again.

It is sometimes o misfortune to be O boy,
and always sin to steal bundle Of shirts
from Broadway store; but after freely ad-
hitting this much it is still hard to see
why Officer Leary should have dubbed an
unresisting eighteen-year-old thief on Fri
day night, as he is reported to have done.
We are willing to 60 farther and acknowl-
edge that the murmurings of the populace
against blue coated incompetency and the
effort of the Commissioners to reduce the
pay of the police may have soured the
temper Of many guardian Of the peace
and made him want to hit somebody, but if
policeman must assault some one and
his side, the spirit of fair play demands
that he should hit man Of his size. The
head Of boy, with its superincum-
bent scalp, has it's rightiul part
to play in the economy of nature,
but there is not, thus far, any reason for it's
being used as practice ball for the police
mans club. If Officer Leary really treated
the partly grown thief in the manner re-
ported he is proper candidate for transfer
to some sphere of action more in accord
with his ambitionand abilities. Let him 90
West and interview Sitting Bull with his
favorte weapon; let him try his hand on
most of the Potter Committees witnesses
give him chance, even, to pound with his
club at the head of the Street Cleaning Bu-
reau, if that Office has head and it can be
upI-anvfhinc so that he hits only ,nar,
Of his own size. If no such material can
be found for him healthful substitute
exists on that island where so many OF our
city's inhabitants temporarily break stone
for the sake of their muscle and the public
conscience. Assault and battery will send
any one else to the island, if the deed can
be proved. Are policemen to be deprived
of the advantages provided by the city for
men Of ungoverned strength and temper?

A Desirable Inquiry.

| Charter tinkering by the Legislature has
been one of the worst evils with which New
York has had to contend. The changes
made in the law have generally been
prompted by personal or party interests
and not by public considerations, and have
kept the city government in constant state
of muddle and uncertainty. While the
present charter has some Objectionable
! features it is capable of giving us fairly
good city government, provided it is admin
istered efficiently and honestly, and pro-
vded also that there is disposition to
| harmonze the several departments and to
keep them free from partisan intrigues and
jealousies. The kindest thing the Lagisla-
ture can do for the city is to let it alone
until some definite and general law for the
government of all the cities of the State can
be matured and enacted. If changes
are made this year because the republicans
happen to have the power at Albany and
because an anti-Tammany Mayor rules the
city, II revolution in the political complex
ion of the State next year or in two years
time will be sure to lead to other changes
which will reverse those of the present ses-
sion. 1t is not desirable that the city of
New York should thus be used as foot
ball by political partisans. Senator Muir
phys resolution for a simple Investigation
of all the New York city departments and
their workings, with view to the consoli-
dation Of bureaus, the adjustment of USE
less offices and general equalization of
salaries is not open to the objection that
attaches to charter-tinkering bills. II the
inquiry is properly conducted it may lead
to economies that can be enforced without
any material change in the law and without
interfering with the efficiency of our local
government We have at present super
fluffy of bureaus and heads Of departments,
and the proposed inquiry may lead to use
full results.

Justice Tempered by Twaadle.

Some of the principals in the stupendous
Glasgow Bank swindle stood up for sem
tence yesterday, they having been found
guilty. 1t is not hard to imagine what sort
of penalties the public had agreed upon in
advance, for whether a man were q ruined
stakeholder, depositor whose balance
was swept away, or only participation in
the general paralysis of business which
temporarily followed the great crash,
he could hardly overestimate the guilt
of the active directors Of the bank Put,
to the general surprise, the heavi-
est sentence was eighteen months
Imprisonment, the lightness of the
penalty being due to the supposition that
the guilty parties did not withhold the
condition Of the bank from the public
for their own personal gain, but because
they feared the effect which the disclosure
might have upon general business. A more
pestiferous precedent could not possibly
be established for future proceedings of the
same kind 4; but it is to be hoped and be-
lieved that the judicial sense of England
and other civilized nations will be so
prompt to rebuke the illogical features of
the decision that no one will ever dare to
quote the case as precedent.

THE WEATuER.-Thc disturbance is still over
Nova Scotia, and its influence extends over the
Middle Atlantic and New England States. The
pressure is decreasing steadily at its centre, and
the indications point to the development of
latitude forty-iive during the next few
days. The small depression that was NOV
ing over the South Atlantic States has now
passed into the ocean, attended by falling
barometer and rains. The area of high burom-
eter extends from the Gulf Of Mexico northward
to the British Possessions and from the Rocky
Mountains to the Alleghanes and the
western section Of the lower lake re-
gions, its centre of highest pressure
being over the Missouri Valley. Rain has fallen
on the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts and
snow in the lake regions, the Middle Atlantic
and New England States. Cloudy weather has
prevailed IN all the districts, except the North
west and West. The temperature has fallen
very decidedly throughout the country except
on The eastern Gulf coast, where u slight rise
has taken place on account OF the movement of
the depression before referred TO. The winds
have been fresh To brisk in all the districts east
OF the Mississippi River. They, however, have
increased considerably in tie owcrlake regions,
the Middle Atlantic and New England States
owing TO the formation of steep gradients
on the western margin OF the disturb
anco that is over the northeastern districts
The cold weather will last until tomorrow
evening, when it is likely to change and the
temperature will rise slowly. Stormy weather
continues over Great Britain and Ireland AL
though the gales have subsidized somewhat, still
age the western coast--and tho direction of
the wind show that the disturbance has not
passed over yet. The weather in New York and
its vicinity today will be cold and partly cloudy
or fair. Tomorrow the same conditions are
likely to prevail, followed toward night by ris-
Ing temperature.
