cial has declared, it is said that me-
for one. can see no need OF accurate maps.
The statement seems incredible, but 1t Is made
on excellent authority, and shows with what
perversity the most indispensable pubic I'M
provements are sometimes resisted. Now leaN-
ing out of sight the saying-a vast one-that
would result from the prevention OF countless
litigations by an accurate survey, 1t may De
well TO quote from one of the early reports OIL
Director Gardner two facts which will serve
to answer the ignorant and mole-eycd obIec-
ton to this work which has just been noted.
One illustrates the usefulness OF such sur
vey to individual citizens; the other, ITS use
fulness to a Government. In England and
Switzerland maps exist and are accessible to
all which show the topography of the country
so plainly that whenever new railroad Is
proposed, for instance, all persons who thlhh
of investing their money in the scheme can
determine for themselves the feasibility
of the new route. There have been ana
are no such maps in this State, ana, as
n consequence, many railroads have been
built which have never been profitable, ana
which would never have been built at all II
the topography of the State had been UNDER
stood by those who gave their money IN lg-
norant faith in the stories told to them. 1t
is estimated that the amount lost III tins way
in this State is not less than $4O,OOO,OOO--a
large part of it being the savings of persons
of small means. SO much for the interest OF
individuals. The instance where the Govern
ment lost money has its comic side. The
Union Pacific Road received a double subsidy
Inn n
mountains, and Congress solemnly ordained
on one occasion, that n certain part OF the
route did pass through mountains when IN
fact it ran across pleasant plain. The
whole Territory in question could have been
surveyed for one-fourth of the money lost by
this one blunder. On the whole, 1t would
seem to be wise economy for the state OF
New-Yor to spend $4,000 year for few
years to get an accurate survey. Al least,
let us keep up with the Sandwich Islands

POLITICAL NOTES.

big anti-Tiden Democratic squirm has started.
Hendricks has broken out again " fool and
consplTator."
The Democratic party is trying once more to shake
of .lildens grip
The " Chuckleheads" started as soon as Waiter
son gave the word 10 them SO gently.
A lurld shrek will be heard from Beck as soon as
he reaches kentucky. lie must blow burst.
The thing 10 do now for recreation is to sit down
and watch the scrimmage in the Democratic camp.
Mr. Tlldens health is announced to be more ro-
bust than ever. 1t ought to enable him to hold his
party's nose down to the Fraud basin.
The ticket which the Hendricks conspirators
have III mind is Hendricks aud Church. Both can
didates are enthusiastically IN favor of 1t.
As the casual fre-cracker explodes to-day under
the heel of the wayfaring Democrat, there will be
bound and curse with the cry: "Oh, Lord,
thought II was another veto I!
The great draw back in the information which the
editorial friend of Hendricks absorbed in this State
Is that he derived it all from auti-Tden men, Their
talk has always been the strongest thing about
them.
There is abundant food for Democratic reflection
in the fact that all the Deputy Democratic Editors
agree IN saying that the extra session was a failure
IN everything except the making OF Republican
votes. Ii * a reluctant and valuable admission.

they could to insure Republican victory in that
State this Fall. They have united with the
weak split from the Kearney WOrkingmen's party
leaving the latter To draw Off the larger part OF the
Democratic vote, and thus enable the Republicans
to elect their ticket.
Ihecurious notion has taken possession OF Hen
bricks and his friends that they can crowd TIldeu
off the track and put Hendricks in his place. The
first part of that programme would be hard enough
to carry out. but the second would be great deal
harder. II Tilden Is slaughtered he will SEQ To II
| that Hendricks shares his fate.
The Blyard movement has been put on its legs
once more. The World informs the Southerners that
as they will control the Democratic nomination in

command the most votes, and lntimates that Bayard

Jams and Dorsheimer. That. in connection with
the Baynrd movement IN New-York and the Hem
bricks movement In Indiana, might scare Mr. fill
den INFO tapping the barrel Then everything
would be lovely at once.
IL is noticeable fact that all the legislation ac-
compshed at the extra session was in the interest
Of the South. The Confederates are ubant over
the result aud point to IL as proof that they arc
really in control of Congress again. They are right
about it, but they would be wise not to boast Of IL
too loudly, lest the North suspect that they have
actually captured the Capitol What they have
done is y mere sample of what they would DO were
there Democratic President IN the White House.
The manly announcement Of Assemblyman Ar
mold, of Cortland that he had abandoned the Dem
Ocratic party and would heDceforth he a Republi-
can, calls forth this comment from The Little F1Hs

sagacious and iudcious estimate Of the amount
Of damage which the Democrats. under the dspen-
sations Of an all-wise Providence, have inflicted
upon themselves is made by Justice Woodward, Of
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. He says, ac-
cording 20 n correspondent Of The PhiiadeipkiG
Press, that the action Of the Democratic party dur
ing the extra session has displayed more insanity
than he has ever known in the history Of any poti-
cal organization since the foundation Of the Cow
ernment and that if the Republicans are wise
enough to utilize the Democratic blunders they can
revive war feeling as bitter and intense as existed
at the tine OF the firing Sumter He added,
that he understood the position OF the Democratic
party to-day. IN the light of It's acts, it was in
direct opposition to all its time-h0nored doctrines.
and that neither Jefferson nor Jackson woud APP

as usual, with the Rum question. A resolution
offered declaring the prohIbitory liquor law 'to
be a dstIiment to the cause Of temperance and an
incubus upon the mercantile Interests of Maine"

Resolutions and being there voted down, was re-

gentleman named SWEET. Its reading was the
signal for a general uproar. numerous members

half seconded them, but the state of things by no

The peculiar requirements of the Silver bill
begin to tell upon the reserve In the Treasury.
For many months, to be sure, the Govern
ment can continue piling up useless coins in
its vaults, and wasting its resources for that
purpose, without serious difficulty or present
DANGER but the steady increase in the pro-
portion OF unavailable silver held must ultl-
mately cause a reversal OF the policy or grave
embarrassment. The following shows the
composition of the coin reserve in the

ton, on June l and July L:

The persistency with which CetywayO seeks
to make peace leaves the British Government
without any decent prctext for continuing
the ingloriOus war against him. If Lord
Chelmsford were not as feeble in diplomacy
as in war, he might, according to recent indl-
cations, have concluded peace before Sir Gar
net Wolseley could arrive to reap the distinc-
ton, such as il may be.

II is unpleasant enough to know that the
Massachusetts, claimant will press Las cause
again this year with the same pertinacity ana

comforting TO be told, as our Boston CORE
spondent tells us, that the Generals chances
are much poorer than they were last year.
when they proved, in the end, to be good 1or
nothing Resumption the dumb orator OF
this political era, which is making more Votes
than all the other orators put together, mas
been making them in Massachusetts, as wei as
in other States, and General Butler is by so
much the loser. The Republicans OF the BAY
State all belong to one party tins year. ana
last wear they did not. The Democrats no
longer fear Butler as they did. and have good
reason for hating him. For these and other
reasons there seems TO have been really con-
siderable doubt whether the Massachusetts
free lance would enter the lists at all. lt Is
known now, however, that he will; 1t Is
almost as certain that he will be beaten.
Perhaps in the course of generation the time
will even come when he will refrain from
running altogether.
1t is to be hoped that the report, recorded
elsewhere, that Mr.. Vanderbilt has practically
abandoned his scheme for an elevated railroad
is true. it is said that the universal oppose
ton to the project has induced him to with
draw from it, and that an arrangement VIII
be made with existing elevated roads, by
which the passengers of the Vanderbilt rail
roads can be quickly carried to all parts OF
the city. If Mr. Vanderbilt has reached this
frame of mind, there Will probably be no
a.,
the present roads will be glad to make con-
cessiOns which will prevent the construction
of competing line. Whether the report Is
wholly true or not, the negotiation in winch
Mr.. Vanderbilt is engaged is a con-
fession of judgment. The only ground
upon which a franchise can be granted
for any railroad is that of the pub
lie interest; the only public interest which
would be served by the construction OF an
elevated road on FOurth-aye. would be the
convenience Of the many passengers OF the
Vanderbilt roads; but this object can be ac-
complished exactly as well by making cOnnec-
tons at proper points with the existing ele-
waited roads. The sylogism is very plain, as
Mr.. Vanderbilt seems to have seen. The pro-
posed road would have been practically use
less to any one but the stockholders Of the
New-YoIk Central and kindred lines; on the
other hand, it would have inflicted vast deal
of injury on a large amount of valuable prop
erty, and would have left us Fiith'aye. and
Broadway as the only through avenues between
FIRST and Seventh-aves. not occupied by an
elevated road. The abandonment OF the
scheme will leave the city far better off than
it would have been; Mr.. Yanderbilts GUS
toners will be served quite as well as If he
had built a road especially for them; and the
only sufferers-and their suffcrinGs will not be
great--will be those capitalists who failed to
see the chance that lay In rapid transit until
IL was too late.

The friends Of Captain Edmunds, the eX-Alder-
man Of Newton. Mass. who Is i'll trouble land ja)
about forgerics TO a large amount, are making
a generous effort TO take up the forged paper, so
that their friend, heretofore highly respected shall

SantO Domingo makes a novel effort to de-

of our products duty free, provided we allow
her to send tobacco and sugar to this country

barter has at least the merit of simplicity,
but in making such bargains it Will be neces-
sary to exercise good deal of care about the
exact situation of the handle on the jug.
