A Clew at Last.

After nearly half year of failure the
police seem to have captured one of the
Manhattan Bank burglars. Young Hope,
who has been suspected of being one of the
men who watched the outside of the bank
while the thieves were operating upon the
safe, was arrested Monday night, at the
Olympic Theatre, and the three persons
who claim to have seen a man about
the bank early on the morning Of the
robbery believe they have fully iden-
titled him. If Hope was really one of
the party it is quite likely that he himself
may be worked" successfully enough to
divulge the names of some or all of his ac-
complies. Should the case end in the dis
covery and conviction of the gang there
will be a comparative scarcity OF skilled
laborin the speciality of bank breaking for
some years to come.

Enforce the Laws.

reduction Of the wages of the laborers
employed by the New York Loan and I'm
provement Company on the Metropolitan
III" Railroad extension from o dollar and
q half to q dollar and quarter q day
was followed by strike, and the men
deserted the work. The company immedi-
ately employed other laborers, who were
and some Of the new men commenced work
yesterday morning at One Hundred and
Sixth street and Eighth avenue. but were
soon interrupted by the strikers and driven
away. 1t is stated that large force Of
police was on the ground at the time, but it
does not appear that anything was done to
prevent the outrage. The old laborers have
a perfect right to refuse to accept the re-
duced pay and to leave off working il
they choose to do SO. Their decision may be
foolish one, especially in view of the fact
that the construction Of the rapid transit
roads was blessing to laborers oil last
winter and supplied hundreds with en-
ployment who would otherwise have been
idle and have suffered severely. The
strikers have no right, however, to interfere
with other men who are willing to work for
a dollar and quarter day, and no such
interference ought to be tolerated for q
moment in this city. We have strong
police force, and whenever the offence is
committed the offenders should be promptly
arrested and severely punished. The laws
should be enforced under any and all cir
cumstances, but an attempt to obstruct the
construction Of the rapid transit roads is
doubly reprehensible, inasmuch as it inter-
feres with great public necessity.

ciently indicative of two new points in saw
age warfare--.he apprehension that the
enemy can learn to use these implements,
and the admission that his men can be led
up and kept steady in the face of artillery.
England demanded that the military sys-
tenn Of the Zulus should be done away with I;
that the army should be disbanded that the
men should not be kept under arms, but
should be free to remain at their homes that
the government should consent to the posses
sion by the people of ordinary human rights !;
that British Minister Resident should be
accepted. and that the hing should recog-
nize as the frontier line satisfactory to the
British authorities. 1t will be good while
before this programme can be enforced in
Zulu but enforced it will be in all proba-
bility. And as it will lead to an ameliora-
ton of the condition Of the people it will
only be necessary to secure foothold in
the country in order to divide with the
King the allegiance of his subjects.

Evacuation OF Turkey.

General Todlcben is making his prepara-
tions to evacuate Adrianople in ten days,
which will be the most important step in
the final withdrawal of tho Russian army
from the conquered country. 1t will be an
unmistakablo evidence of Russia's good
will in regard to all the treaties, for under
her compact with Turkey she might hold
on q month yet and be within her right.
But as every object that could be
assisted by the retention of the troops
at that point is now accomplished, some
consideration has perhaps been given to
the natural desire of the men to get home.
1t may bo also that tho military administra-
ton would be we'll satisfied to get MI it's
men out of Turkey before the return of
warm weather; but what was taken home
by the Cossacks in the autumn may we'll
make them averse to further summer cx-
periences in pest-riddcn countries.

Excise Legislation.

A new excise bill was introduced in the
Assembly yesterday by Mr.. Ogden which
has some novel features. 1t recognizes the
right of ''local option" in the sale of liquor.
Where prohibition has not been voted it
provides that the number of licenses to bc
issued in city shall DO determined at the
commencement of the year by the Board of
Excise, but shall in no instance exceed one
for each five hundred Of population. Thus
New York, with one million and quarter
OF population, would be entitled to two
thousand i've hundred Licenses in all. The
licenses are to be sold by auction one by
one to the highest bidder whose character
isapproved by the Commissioners. The limi-
tation OF the number Of licenses to be issued
would be likely to have the effect of making
the holders OF licenses more anxious not to
forfeit them by misconduct or violations of
the law. The privilege would, of course, be
more valuable with this restriction, espe-
cially as the proportion of one license for
five hundred of population is to be carried
out in each ward and not spread over the
city at large. Nevertheless, the fewer ex-
periments made in an excise law and the
simpler its provisions the better. A fair
license fee, strict scrutiny Of the character
OF the applicant and strong police super
vision are the most desirable requirements,
and it is to be hoped that a law embodying
them will be passed this session.

An Old Friend Back Again.

Theatre managers have lately brought
back to US an old acquaintance that has
been SO long absent from our stage rs
almost to need special introduction. We
allude to the farce, which in two or three
houses is now acceptably prefacing the
principal plays of the evening The merits
of the farce are numerous and freely con-
ceded. It's shortness alone generally in
sures it's goodness (; it is amusing. and the
public seldom tires of amusement it
enables q large minority of the audience,
which is always late, to take in the whole
OF the principal play, and it OBJ
viates the disagreeable fault, amount
ing in some cases almost to fraud,
of short plays being extended through
a long evening by tedious "waits. "
made moro uncomfortable by very poor
music from an orchestra which naturally
saves itself as much as possible when forced
to play against time. Even mt the end of
an evening the farce has its uses; there are
great plays which end with exceeding SOM
broness and interesting plays which leave a
bad taste in the mouth; at the end of either
of these good free may do excellent SER
vice. 1t is possible. too, that the revival of
the farce may be beneficial to that desirable
but still feeble infant, the American drama
Nearly all the prominent European dram
atists began their careers by essaying the
farce and other short works, gaining conf
dence and constructive ability before they
attempted the conventional five-act play
For the sake of every one interested in the
theatre, managers not excepted. let the
farce be heartily welcomed and persuaded
TO remain with us.

A New Apportionmens.

There seems to be a fair prospect Of the
passage of tolerably just apportionment
law this session. The republican bill, in-
troduced by a momber who has ovincod
disposition to legislate honestly and con-
scientiously, gives New York twenty-four
members, an increase of three, and Kings
county thirteen, nm increase of four. Mr..
Brooks has prepared schedule of nppor-
tionment, which the House yesterday did
him the courtesy to order printed and filed,
and in this New York is given twenty-six
members and Kings thirteen-differing
only two in New York from the re-
publican table. As the leaders Of both
parties are SO near together in their calcula-
tions il does not seem likely that the ses-
sion will close without the enactment Of q
fair law The claim of tho democrats in
New York is just sufficiently in excess of
Mr.. Hepburn's concession to give them an
opportunity to yield gracefully while
uniting with the better class of republicans
10 prevent any Objectionable alteration OF
the republican schedule. 1t Is probable

Providence the Best street Cleaner.

Providence the Best street Cleaner.
Yesterdays rain has done something
toward cleaning tho streets and getting rid
OF the ice and snow which have been al
lowed to remain on all except few favored
thoroughfares for the past three or four
weeks. The ecceutricities of the Street
Cleaning Bureau made what would ordina-
rily have been o most unpleasant day very
welcome one. New York could we'll afford
to carry an umbrella for twelve hours cheer
fully with the prospective benefit of clean
streets, when it is compelled to carry the
yearly load of seven hundred thousand
dollars tax without any chance of getting
clean streets at oil. Should we now be
favored with regular pelting storm for
three or four hours to finish up the
work our citizens might walk the streets
with something like comfort. When the
sun again shines forth we may expect to
see troop of sweepers appear on the pub
lie thoroughfares in grand parade, followed
by report from the superintendent calling
attention to the great labor performed by
his bureau. The full monthly instalment
of the street cleaning appropriation will
then be drawn and-expended. Providence
is, after oil, our best street cleaner, and for
all the good the Street Cleaning bureau does
we might as we'll trust to Providence and
save our ready money.

Defeat or tho Extra session scheme.

Defeat or the Extra Session scheme.
1t now turns out that the movement for
an extra session OF Congress was cunning
device Of the lobby and the otfice-seekers,
who joined forces to keep the national
legislature in session for the advancement
OF their own personal interests. These in
dustrious patriots were, of course shrewd
enough TO keep under cover until their OBJ
jects had been partially gained in inducing
the majority in the House to decide upon
q policy of obstruction, so as to- make
an extra session inevitable; but it will
be seen from our special dispatches from
the capital this morning that the more saga
cious democratic leaders in both branches
have discovered the game ii was attempted
feat it, They have determined not to be
bound by the command of the caucus to
secure repeal of the federal election and
the test oath laws or force an extra session
by defeating one Of the principal appropri-
alton bills. This conclusion is wise, and
it is to be hoped they will be able to carry
their party associates with them. No one
wants an extra session, except the hungry
applicants for Office and the fam
ished following of the lobby, whose
raids upon the Treasury have thus far
been defeated. However obnoxious the
laws in question may be no possible harm
can be done by allowing them to remain on
the statute books few months longer when
they can be blotted out without the least
trouble, if, indeed, it should be deemed
advisable to do So In the present condi-
ton of business, while the country is be-
ginning to enter upon a renewed prosper
ity, an extra session, with all its possibilities
for mischief, would be almost calamity,
and it is to be hoped the leaders who are
charged with the control of the democratic
party will use every effort to avert it. A
lobby is bad lender for party.

The Taueweli Tragedy.

Several months ago the HERALD published
some startling letters upon an alleged scan-
dal in Tazewell county. Tenn, the parties
to the crime being, as was reported,
negro politician and the beautiful wife of a
prominent white public official. 1t was
said that the offending man had been kid
mapped by the injured husband and some
friends, carried to Kentucky and put to
death by most malignant tortures; that the
party of avengers had then fed to escape
justice; that a large reward had been offered
by the Governor of Tennessee for their APP
prehension; that rival sherffs, with their
posses, were pursuing the men; that the
whole public were taking sides in the case,
and that between lawlessness and terror
the neighborhood was almost in state
OF anarchy. To-day we publish statements
from the lips of the alleged injured husband
and of the lady herself which will add
greatly to the public interest in the case.
From these will be learned, among other
things, that the husband has voluntarily
returned to his home and within reach Of
the local officers of the law that he pro-
ROoCo
serts that the alleged offender was not only
not tortured to death, but escaped and is
still alive If this statement is substanti-
ated by the appearance Of the negro in
court when he is called for, or even if
it can be proved that he is alive, the
aspect of the case will undergo some very
important changes. Aside from these
statements, seeming to correct existing i'm.
pressions Of the affair, our Tazewell letter
contains much information upon the meth
DDS by which an alleged crafty seducer
tormented faithful but miserable wife
nearly to deaths door and into condition
of apparent moral responsibility. Taking
all its features into consideration this
Tazewell case is certainly one OF the most
remarkable on record.

Chief Justice Daily ON Map Making.
The learned President of the New York
Geographical Society, not content with dis
charging the onerous duties of his high
judicial position, fills his spare hours with
investigations of the highest interest to
science, and generously gives the results to
the public in lectures, such as large
audience had the pleasure of listening to
last night at Chickering Hall. The
subject Of Judge Daly's address is
an important one, and involves in the
preparation for its discussion an amount
of patient study which few men care
to expend en- q matter of public interest.
The history of cartography is one of geo.
graphical progress from the earliest times
to those Of the Immediate past. In it we
trace the dawning of the light of geographi-
cal knowledge to the noontide Of its radi-
ance for, with few exceptions, the geog-
raphy of our world is to-day complete in oil
it's parts, and q few years of exploration
will make us familiar with every detail Of
the surface of the globe. Beginning at the
birth of geographical science Judge DAILY
traces its development by stages marked by
unmistakable lines of advancement.
The Chaldeans, Egyptians, PhUnicians,
Greeks, Romans and Arabs each in turn
contributed to draw it from the obscurity
of crude speculation to the light Of demon
strated certainty. The astronomers and
mathematicians Of ancient times, whose
works have won for them imperishable
fame, labored in the cause Of geographical
science with ON assiduity truly wonderful,
considering the opportunities that pre-
sented themselves for investigation. The
studies of Anaximander. Parmenides, Era
tosthenes and their successors inspired the
enterprise of Marco Polo and Columbus
and the host of bold Davigators whose
courage demonstrated what the genius Of
earlier days had conceived. The art
of map making was evidently known
to the Chinese, the Chaldeans and other Old
World peoples from an early date. That it
was known to the Aztecs is shown by their
curious Charts now preserved in museums.
Thus we may establish q connection be-
tween the intelligence of the past and pres
ent, and ask ourselves if many of our So
called inventions are nothing moro than the
rediscovery of long lost laws of mechanics,
art and science? We present to our
readers to-day synopsis of Judge Daly's
able lecture on the "History of Cartogra-
phy," feeling assured that it will deeply in
terest every intelligent person who studies it.
