deeds within tho past few days must have boon
notod by newspaper readers. Most shocking Of
all is the murder Of little Eprrn FREEMAN. as
religious sacrifice. by her father. in Pocasset.
Another case Of murder by father is re-
ported from Philadelphia. in which En-

SUSAN with knife. she dying almost i'm

take his own. In these five cases women were
tho victims. but in tho mean time men had been

But among the visitors are some OF the best

players. The American eleven is well selected
and strong tho NEwHALLs having come on
from Philadelphia for the game. There has
been little practice together by the American

A Many-Headed Mayoralty-Mr. Stra-
hans Bill.

A majority OF the votes at the last mu-
ncpal election were cast for EDWARD
COOPER for Mayor. These votes were cast
in the expectation that, If elected, EDWARD
COOPER would be the Mayor.
Mr.. COOPER was elected; but he appears
TO entertain different view OF the effect Of
his election from that taken by his con-
stituents. His notion would seem to be that
while he is the sole occupant OF the Office
for certain purposes. the leaders OF the Re-
publican party are joint occupants with
him for other purposes. So that, according
TO his idea, while EDWARD COOPER was the
only visible name for Mayor on the SUCCESS
full ticket, there were invisiblv upon IL,
jointly with his, the names of CHESTER A.
ARTHUR, EDWIN ID. MORGAN. GEORGE BLISS,
SHERIDAN SHOOK. BENJAMIN X. PHELPS,
JOHN |. DAVENPORT, and a host of others
rather a complex and miscellaneous nomi-
nation for Mayor, il must be admitted.
The charter says 1.-THE Mayor shall NOM
mate. and by and with the consent OF the
Board OF Aldermen appoint the heads OF de-
partments and all Commissioners" But it
seems that the Mayor reads this to mean that
the Republican leaders shall nominate two
Police Commissioners. and that the nomina-
tions they make shall be transmitted by
him to the Aldermen.
When Democrats are TO be nominated. Mr.
COOPER considers himself fully equal to the
occasion. He does not feel himself bound to
consult anybody. Thus, according TO his own
declaration. in his recent appointment OF
CHARLES +. MCLEAN, he acted solely on his
own responsibility. although in making the
selection he believed he was acting counter
To the wishes Of Mr. SAMUEL j. TILDEN, the
Democratic President elect, and, OF course
wounding his sensibilities.
1t is difficult To understand the philoso-
ply of the distinction made by the Mayor.
II CHESTER A. ARTHUR and THURLow WEED
are to name the Republicans to be APP
pointed, why should not SAMUEL j. TILDEN
and JOHN KELLY name the Democrats ?
In compliance. as we must suppose, with
such Republican dctation, the Mayor yes
terday insulted the citizens Of New York by
nominating for Police Commissioner in place
Of Mr.. ERHARDr q resident OF n remote
country vilage-the most unfit appointment
that could have been made from all the
names that have been talked about II 1t
was necessary TO take a Republican from
the rural districts OF Long Island, Mr..
JAMES OTIS would have been far more
suitable man.
Mr.. SrRAHAN has introduced into the
Assembly a bill, which has been rushed
through with extraordinary speed, vesting
the power Of appointment, after vacancy
shall have existed thirty days, in the Mayor.
the Comptroller, the District Attorney, and
. T.. Al
should construe this amendment rs the
Mayor CONSTITUTES the existing charter, and
should wait FOR the party leaders TO agree
ON candidates before making appointments
Tho provision Of Mr.. SrRAHAN's bill put
ting the City Judge into such commission
we regard as very Objectionable in principle.
ORAL things, let us preserve our courts free
from the contamination Of party politics.

Gus How at the PennsyIvnnia Road.


PITTSBURGH, May civilian II. Wander
blt and party arrived here last night Besides
the Vanderbilts there were John Newell. the
manager OF the Lake Shore road. and W. l..
Scott. millionaire coke and coal man from
Erie. After remaining here until noon. they
left for Cleveland via the Pittsburgh and Lake
Erie Railroad. to attend the annual meeting Of
the Lake Shore road. Vanderbit's visit here
was in regard to the new Pittsburgh and Lake
Erie road. in which he has heavy investment.
Vanderbilt has taken great interest in this road,
and he wishes TO secure for IL. IL possible
fair show OF the coke and gas coal trade OF the
Connellsville region. For this purpose he pro-
poses TO secure either an independent line to
the coke and coal fields. or make connection
with the Baltimore and Ohio road One or the
other will undoubtedly be done. and that very
tition for the coke trade OF the West II will be-
serious blow ut the Pennsylvania Railroad,
which has heretofore had monopoly OF this
business. The injury to that road can be esti-
mated by tho millions. II is thought that a con-
nectinn Will be made at once with the Bait more
and Ohio at this place. and thus obviate the ne
ccssty OF building a new line. The latter COM
and Lake Eric. and II this is carried out the
cars will cross the Monongahela on barRes from
tho line OF the Baltimore and Ohio road to the
Pittsburgh and Lake Erie. Whether a new line
Is built or the connection used, the effect on the
trade Of the Pennsylvana Railroad will be the
tirely out OF debt. owns its own road, has some
OF the heaviest capitalists ut its back. and will
give the Pennsylvania Railroad q great deal OF
trouble in case OF a Hight.

Probably there will be no examination
OF applicants for teachers certificates
this Winter. This will DO good news
for the teachers and also for the taxpay.
ers OF the county. The former will be
saved torture and the latter expense. In
Gold Hill there are likely to be very few.
II any, changes made. and In Virginia no
doubt the Board OF Trustees will be sat-
ishsd to have the certificates OF the pres.
emit incumbents renewed without any
further examinations. The fact that
they ignored tho last examination in
their selection Of teachers points to this
conclusion. But even II changes are
made in Virginia. there would seem to
be no occasion for an examination Of
new applicants since in the Office OF
the Secretary Of the Board OF Trustees
there Ii q pile OF these certificates which
have been already granted to those who
have made applications for positions.
In other words. those having certificates
are largely In excess Of any vacancies
which are likely to occur. Another rea-
son for thinking that no examination
will be held Is thst since the dissolution
Of the old Board Of Examiners BY the
death OF Superintendent James. and since
the appointment OF superintendent
Young as his successor. no appointments
Of members Of the Examining Board have
been fled. nor, as far as has been
learned. have such appointments been
made. Tho teachers may therefore en-.
JOY their coming holidays without the
dread and worry and fear Of any exam.
