Let this Concern be Abolished.

The trustees and professors OF the So
called College Of the City of New York have
been imprudent enough to call public atten-
tlon to that concern by quarrelling among
themselves.
The college costs the city hundreds Of
thousands OF dollars yearly. This money
comes out Of the pockets of the people, and
what does the city get for it all 2 A handful

desirable that these boys should be taught
Greek and the DifIcrential Calculus at the
public expense, 1t would be good deal
cheaper for the city, as well as better for
the boys, 20 send them to Columbia College
or the University.
But the city has no right to undertake to
teach boys Greek and the DiIerential Call
culus. That is no part Of its business.
There are sound reasons why children
should be taught the common English
branches in the public schools. These arc
necessary TO intelligent citizenship. But
beyond this the city has no reason and no
right to go.
Now that the men most interested in per-
petuating this so-called college have fallen
out among themselves, it is good time TO
wipe 1t out OF existence. 1t has never been
anything but an cxcrescence, q costly sham.

more than content to run the great machine
in their name. His administration Of the
Treasury was In many respects as bad rs 1t
could be. 1t is true, the State never lost n
dollar OF its principal by his management
But millions OF dollars In interest on the
public money were given away to enrich
favorite individuals to bolster up banks
and other corporations politically useful,
and TO swell party corruption funds
This, however, was the way OF the Ring

The Democratic Party in n Very Bad
Wav.

Some difference OF opinion has prevailed
rs 10 the prospects of the Democratic party.
One class Of prophets have been foretelling
Its certain victory at the next Presidential
election. Another class have looked upon
the future with uneasy forcbodings.
At this interesting juncture Mr. HENRY l..
CLINTON, equally distinguished as a lawyer
and politician, has given the country the
benefit OF his views. Mr.. CLINTON appears
on this occasion in the character OF the
stormy petrol. We cannot regard him with
out serious apprehensions that shipwrcck
20 the Democratic party is imminent. Ac-
cording 10 Mr.. CLINTON, all depends upon
Tammany Hall. Destroy the organiza-
tion," he says, "and the Democratic party
throughout the Union would be consigned
TO the grave which has closed over 50 many
political parties"
Now II this is so the Democratic party
must be in very bad way. II the con-
tinued existence OF that party depends upon
an organization which made such an exhibi-
ton In our recent election as Tammany Hall
made OF Itself, we must say the prospect for
II IL gloomy enough.
The question still remains whether Mr..
CLINTON is right
We must confess that we differ with him
differ widely. In our estimation the Demo-
cratic party would be greatly strengthened
by the dissolution OF the Tammany organi-
zation

DOCTRINE FOR DEMOCRA rs.
Letter from the Editor OF the Cooperstown
journal 60 a PROMINENT Democrat.

CoopERsrowN, Dec. 1s. 1878.
MY DEAR Sm: l do not think that any
thing Is to be gained. either to the party or can
didates. by discussion Of the Presidential
question in any of its actual or possible
phases. at this time. The objective point OF
tho hour in my opinion. is not in that direc-
ton. Unless the State OF New York can
be made reasonably certain for tho Democratic
candidate for President in 1880. the nomina-
ton will scarcely be worth contonding for.
That certainty must DO established in advance.
by our carrying tho State by n round majority
next fall. when most important State ticket is
to be chosen.
Tho fact will doubtless recur TO you
that in the campaign OF 1876 the hopes
Of tho Republicans were kept up
in certain doubtful States by the confident as
surances sent them by the Republican State
Committee Of New York and their co-workers
that they could carry this State for Hayes. This
was necessary to their success elsewhere. and II
was what many Of their most sagacious politi
clans really believed Had they succeeded. 1t is
scarcely necessary to add. there would have
been no contest over Florida and Louisiana.
Now. as then. New York is the key OF the po
sitlon. Why spend time in discussing the
claims or the relative strength OF Presidential
candidates. until Il ehall be determined whether
we are TO retain it2 In 1876 little was said on
that subject until tho opening Of the year.
There are doubtless as many Democrats now
In this State as there were in 1876 but our
forces are somewhat scattered, a little demoral-
lied. perhaps, by the result OF the recent
election. / am confident that II is within
our power to fully retrieve tho success
to which we are as a. party fairly en-
titled. Tho present need is wise counsel.

Don Camcron's Loss.

Tho death Of Mr.. ROBERT W. MACKEY, the
real leader Of the Pennsylvania Republicans,
removes tho mainstay of the CAMERON
dynasty. Other able and adroit men stand
very near Mr., DONALD CAMERON, and TO all
seeming are as faithful as was MAcKEY.
But that Is not the fact. They have bowed
TO Baal because they had to. They are not
sincere, and now that the ruling hand Is re-
moved, they will soon be seeking an occasion
