Let Us Have an End of violent and
Arbitrary Attempts at reform.

The County Clerk was accused of cxacting
illegal fees. We believe he had fair and
full hearing before the Governor. The Gov
ernOr decided to remove him. We do not
undertake TO pass upon the merits of the
case, but we assume the Governors decision
to have been correct.
The mode adopted for carrying the Gov
ernor's Judgment into execution does not
commend itself to our approval. The sue
cessor TO the County Clerk made his en-
trance into the Office in violent or steathy
and disordcrly manner. lie took possession
OF the Office at an unusual hour and in n
secret and questionable manner
There was no need Of this It is said that
otherwise possession Of the Office could not
have been obtained. We are not convinced
of that. We think lawful methods might
have been found TO place in the Office per-
son legally entitled to it without any very
great delay. But II it could not be done.
then change in the law 50 that it could be
done would have been the proper remedy.
Extortion In Office IS an indictablc offence.
and II the County Clerk had been guilty Of
1t he could have been arrested criminally.
But in any event the manner of taking
possession OF the Office was unsccmly and
ccnsurable. Better to leave nm incumbent
in even II he has taken unlawful fees until
he can be put out dcccntly and in order.
So with regard to the Police Commissions
ers. Many Of our most intelligent citizens
deemed some change in the Board advis-
able. Was it necessary to outrage every
principle and practice Of justice to bring it
about? a fair and patient hearing would
have satisfied everybody, il change was
required.
Dignity, self-possession, and fairness are
not Incompatible with resolution. decision,
and strength. Methods of reform may
better be made so comedy rs to commend
themselves to popular favor and appro-
baton, rather than SO arbitrary and vio-
lent as to excite distrust and alarm.

Stndy IL Every Snndny.

Tho Prcsbytcry of New York is an inter
csting body. Some of its members are re-
nowncd for learning, some for gravity, some
for cloqucncc in the pulpit, some for the wit
Of their aftcr-dnnor speeches; all for their
godliness. But oven such men are apt TO
make mistakes; and the Prcsbytcry of New
York made a mistake when it pronounced II
sweeping, undlscrimnatlng condemnation Of
Sunday newspapers.
There is but one explanation Of this mis-
take The prcsbytcrs have deprived them
selves all these years of the profit they
might have derived from the diligent read
ing Of good Sunday journal. Knowing in
general way that there are unclcan papers
which purc-minded men and women will not
read on Sunday or any other day, and silly
papers which nobody with n proper sense Of
the value Of time ever thinks of reading,
they have jumped to the hasty conclusion
that all newspapers published on the first

practical direction. A report prepared by
committee of their number. appointed at the
recent meeting at the Cooper Union, rccom-
mcnds. first, certain amendments to the
laws regulating the construction ana man
agement of tenement houses and, secondly,
the formation Of joint stock company, with
II capital Of from 100000 to S2OOoOoo for
the construction Of such houses upon the
newest and most improved pattern. The
second recommendation is by far the more
important Of tho two, and we trust that
action in accordance with il may not be
delayed until the Legislature complies with
the first. Tho existing laws on the subject
may not be all they might be, but they do
not prevent newbuildngs from being erected
with every needful provision for light, air,
and cleanliness.
Indeed we do not see why IT is necessary
to raise 50 much rs S500,O00, much less
S2,OOO,OO0, of capital, in order to commence
the work. 1t has been repeatedly declared,
during the discussion Of the subject, that

model house, one hundred feet square, ought

those of several rich men, any one OF whom
could give away 100000 and never miss IT,
Why could not two or three Of them, for oX-

going through the fuss and ceremony OF

The Senate on the Great Fraud.

Near the close Of the Forty-fourth Con-
gress the Democrats Of the House OF Repre-
sentatives passed carefully drawn resolu-
tion expressing their deliberate and solemn
judgment that SAMUEL j. TILDEN was
legally elected 10 the Presidency, and that
RUTHERFoRD i. HAYES obtained the Office
by fraud. That resolution was n noble
contribution TO the cause Of representative
government and free institutions; and
as long as the records If Congress endure,
ii will stand as n rebuke and warning ~
conspirators who may horeaftertry to wrost
great trusts from the chosen agents Of the
people in order to sell them 10 corrupt and
crafty men whom the people have repudi-
ated
The resolution TO which we have referred
would have been more complete and inilucn-
tial fit had been the joint utterancc of both
branches OF Congress. But this was then
impossible, because the Republican majority
OF the Senate, viewing the subject from the
low standpoint Of mere partisanship, could
not rise to the level Of telling truth that
was discrcditable to 50 many Of their assoc
ciates and leaders.
The scene is now changed The Senate is
Democratic by Il majority Of ten; and the
people are waiting to hear IA declaration
from that body on this grave qucs-
ton. This may be done by passing in
the Senate the original resolution Of
the House Of Representatives OF the
Forty-fourth Congress or il may be done
through a new joint resolution Of the two
Houses; but in any event there are special
reasons why the Democratic Senators
should speak their minds promptly and
freely. The terms Of fourteen Of them OK
plre in March, 1851. Many Of the Legsla-
lures which are to elect their Successors,
will be chosen, either in wholeo in part, this
fall and the people of the States which these
fourteen Senators represent, desire to know
precisely where they stand in respect to the
Presidential Fraud.
These fourteen Senators include THUR
MAN, BAYARD, EATON, McDoNALD WAL
LACE, HERMAN, and RANDOLIH. The States
they in part represent, ohio, Delaware,
Connecticut Indiana, Pennsylvania, New
York, and New Jersey, are close and doubt
ful. Indeed. the Democracy will have cx-
traordnary luck if they are able to hold the
seats now occupied by EATON, HERMAN,
WALLACE, and RANDOLPH. They may lose
them if there is any doubt about the posi-
ton Of the party in the Senate on this one
overshadOwing issue.
Five of the Democratic Senators whose
terms expire two years hence will uudoubt-
eddy be succeeded by men Of the like politi-
cal faith We refer TO WTTHERs of Virginia
HEREFORD Of West Virginia, BAILEY Of
Tennessee, JoSEs Of Florida, and MAXEY OF
Texas The Successors of the other two
WHITE Of Maryland and COCKRELL OF
Missouri-arc not quite so sure to be Demo
Gratis; but the probabilities are that way.
In saying this, however, we assume that
the Democrats in the Senate will give a
manly utteranco to their opinions concern
ing the Fraud. Ii for any reason they fail
todo this, they will put Democratic suprcm
acy in the next Senate in peril.
