THE 1STOE LTEK.IKY.

The Reports Of the Trustees oi the Aston
Library, and of Mr.. Robbins Little the SUI
peIintendent. make gratifying exhibition OF
the prosperity, good management and in
creasing usefulness of that munfcent founda-
ton. Two months ago Mr.. john Jacob As
for gave to the library plot OF ground on
the north side of the building, - feet front
and 100 feet in depth. and announced his in
tcntion Of erecting thereon an addition to the
present edilicc, and of making certain other
improvements. The effect Of this enlargement
will be to furnish shelf room for 10000
more volumes, and enable the librarian
to carry ont some changes in the ar
rangement Of the books which have long
been needed for the convenience of read
ers: while if will give the Library a noble
facade of 1913 feet in length, with the main
entrance in the middle. Mr.. AstOrs liberality
Is handsomely acknowledged by the Trustees,
and will long be gratefully remembered by the
public.
We learn from the report of Mr. Little that
the number OF volumes III the Library at the
close of 1870 was 199, Ia, being an increase
of $500 during the year, and Of nearly
90. 900 in ten years. Tho recent accessions
embrace very large proportion of works
of high value, complete sets of which
are not easily found elsewhere, and il
will be seen from what Mr.. Little
saws of their general character that
in their selection the needs of serious stu
dents for whom great reference library is
mainly intended have been inteligently con-
suited. The number of readers has nearly
doubled in ten years, and there is n steady
increase in the list Of persons permitted to
study in the alcovcs. The rules respecting
this privilege are necessarily somewhat rigid,
but the policy of the present management is
wisely directed to the encouragement OF
"tbOse who use the Library for some definite
purpose Of culture or enlightenment, and not
for the indulgence OF an idle habit of intcm-
operate and promiscuous reading"
Now and then an angry correspond
ent complains in the newspapers that the
Astor Library is not open in the evening, or
that for some other reason it is not of much
use TO men in active business. He writes I'M
der a sense of injury. He fancics that trus-
tees, OF librarians, or superintendents are
keeping back from the people right that
belongs to them. But Mr.. Astor's gift was
never intended for purely popular use. II
was designed principally for scholars and pro-
fessional Investigators, and the needs of these
classes have constantly been kept in view
in the appropriation of its income 1t
into miscellaneous reading room without q
great change in the character of the collection
and great addition to the annual outlay.

MORE TURKISH TROUBLES.

The seeds of discord carefully planted in
the Treaty of Berlin begin to sprout 1t
seems AS il that remarkable document had
been so arranged az to secure to each of the
signatory Powers an excuse for qua1elling
with either of the others at any time when il
might desire to do ST., and to make general
disturbance pretty sure to arise at no very
distant day in the future. The trou-
bic Immediately impending grows ont OF
two clauses in the treaty-0ne ceding to Mon
tenegro a little strip OF Albanian territory
containing the villages of Gusine and PLAYA,
and the other promising 10 Greece a Tectifica-
ton of her frontier. Montenegro wants to be
nut in possession of the ceded territory, and
the Ottoman Government Processes entire
willingness to comply with the demand
but the warlike Albanians have mustered
in large force and are determined that
not a foot of their soil shall pass into
the possession of their ancient enemies. They
are more loyal to Turkey than is the Sublime
Porte itself, for it is as good blussulmans and
patriotic subjects of the Sultan that they re-
fuse to obey the orders from ConstantinOple.
They have formed league permeatng the
four vilayets classed under the geographical
name of Albania, the purpose of which is to
resist with arms the alienation of any
portion of their territory on the south to

NOPE TALES FOR TIE MfRINES.

The Republicans who were summoned to
testify before the so-caled Investigating
Committee of the so-called Legislature pur-
porting to have been organized by the Fusion
lists in Maine, were quite right in refusing to
appear before such a futile tribunal. They
could not recognize the Committee without
acknowledging the Legislature and tacitly
asserting to the whole scheme of usurpatlon
and it Is not impossible that result of this
sort was contemplated by the conspirators
when the investigation was ordered. Mr..
White, in his letter to Chairman Ingalls,,
stated further reason why the sum-
mons Of tho Committee ought not to
be obeyed. The Committee, being appointed
without legal authority, Is not competent to
New-York tribune., 1880-01-15

administer Oaths OF TO send for persons anu
papers Witnesses can swear to anything De-
fore it without becoming Liable TO the penalties
for perjury. The men who invented the story OF
bribery WILL of course repeat it in the COM
mittee-room, and they will run no more risk
in telling it there than in lying about it
in tavens, parlors and saloons. Nobody will
appear before the Committee who does not feel
inclined to. Nobody can be compelled to pre-
sent himself, or punished if he refuses to
answer. An investigation by an Illegal Com
mttee is impossible.
But if it was the plain duty of the Repub-
Leans to repudiate this false tribunal, the
consequence of their refusal has naturally
been TO make the manufacture OF " awiul
disclosures uncOmmonly active. No sooner
is it announced chat Mr.. Wallace K. White
will not go before the Committee than a host
of witnesses begin to stand up. a cousin OF
Wallace White remembers that he was APP
preached. A FusiOnist named Wentworth tes-
titles that one Kicker tried to corrupt HIM
but then Kicker, unfortunately, is Demo
crat Finally an old gentleman named Cush-
man, who seems to be a heavy Roman father
sort OF man. declares that he was tempted by
his own son, VINO offered to let him have black
horse if he would refrain from disgraclng
the family by accepting an office to when
he had failed of election Let US have some
more. No doubt during the anxious days be-
fore the 9th OF January, when it was uncer-
tain how many of the cOunted-in members
would emulate the courage and integrity OF
Messrs. SprOul, Voter and Snow, by refusing
the Governors certificates, there was much
cOaxing Of the doubtful ones, and Repubh-
cans did their best to convince them that
they ought to stay ont of the packed Leglsla-
ture Why should they not all step to the
front now, in turn, and swear that they were
approached corruptyg Why do not they all
accuse Wallace White and Senator Blaine
and Mr. Hale of that shocking crime
usually committed by the legatees OF
moribund persons of property and known IN
our surrogate's courts as undue influence z
If it can upset a will perhaps it can also upset
an election.
Meanwhile. though n Legislative investiga-
tion is not to be hoped for until Maine has
Legislature, it is satisfactory TO know that
Mr. Sprou is going to push his case in the
courts of law, so that part of the current
story at all events will be thoroughly exam
ined When the men WHO were elected to the
Legislature are allowed to take their seats,
then a genuine inquiry will be set on foot,
and if there has been any bribery or attempt
at bribery the world will know it.

eligible outlet for-the amateur talent for theati

The negro burglar who nearly succeeded in
numbering one OF the servants In an uptown
house the other day, and was handsomely
thrashed by another, will have twenty years
of retirement, thanks TO Judge Giderseeve,
In which to mediate upon those interesting
events.
The stockholders OF National bank in Maine
took shc plain view that the Maine fraud is as
much question of morals of politics. They
declined to reflect as director one of the par
Elephants in the swndle in spite OF the fact
that he was formerly the cashier of the inst-
tuition.
The meeting last night with reference to
the proposed Worlds Fair of 1888 was well
. attended, chiefly by business men. The ad-
dresses of Hugh j. Jewett, General Hawley
md Senator Window will no doubt turn
public attention to the subject and do some
thing at least to stimulate that action which
cannot be postponed much longer, if the Fair
IA to be successful.
The irrepressible financial question is NOV
ing to the front in Congress. The Senate
Finance Committee held meeting yesterday
20 vote upon the Bayard resolution, doing 80
without formal discussion, inasmuch as debate
ia so certain to arise in the Senate. Upon a
motion to report the resolution favOrably,
there was tie vote-Messrs. Herman, Morrill,,
Wallace and Bayard being opposed by Mcssrs
Beck, Allison, VOORHEES, and Ferry. Upon a
motion to report unfayOrably the opponents
of the resolution were given a majority of
one by Mr.. Bayard's extra courtesy that Sen
ator insisting that Mr.. Jones. though absent,
should be counted against the resolution. A
minority report will, of course, be made, and
both reports are expected TO be presented to-
day. In the House, Mr.. Buckner has reported
his bill requiring the National banks to keep
one-half Of their reserve in gold and silver
coin, and tried to press it to vote. fnan-
cial debate seems imminent, therefore, in each
house.
The fierce collision between an East River
ferryboat and another steamboat resulted
fortunately, in no loss of life. But it
may be we'll for the directors of the
New-York tribune., 1880-01-15

Union Ferry Company to consider what
the loss of life might have been il one
of the Fulton ferrybOats, for example,
had rushed into such collision, with one OF
those crowd, of passengers On board that III
the boat to the very edge. Doubtless the
needed gates would be forthcoming then, and
promptly too. 1t is TO be regretted that rue
company cannot show in this matter something
OF the quick decisveness which 1t dlsplayeu
yesterday in another. The sudden death OF a
pilot at his wheel, just as the boat
was on the point Of leaving the slip, called
attention to the danger i'll which the boat
with its human freight, would have been
placed if il Ind been ont in the stream AT
the time. An order was Immediately made
that hereafter two pilots shall be on duty to-
gether upon each boat
Having no legal quorum to begin with. the
Fusion Legislature OF Maine Is now setting
out to make Il quorum by unseat,ng men who
were fairly elected and filing their places
with men who were not elected. Considerable
progress was made yesterday In this work OF
building a structure of rOttenness upon foun-
dation of quicksand. A committee voted to
uNStdJ MI. Idic anu put III hiH paw '''N ~"
siOnst candidate whom not even Garcelon ana
his men had the presumption to count IN.
The most grctesque case of all perhaps was
that in which committee reported in favor
OF unseatng a member named Dunnell be-
cause he had only two majority, ard Mt least
three men voted for him who had no right TO
do so. This was too much for even Green
backer to sit under, and one of them at once
directed attention to the fact that the COM
mittee had reached this airy conclusion in one
mornings labor, and without giving Mr. Dun
nell Il hearing. But remOnstrances are clearly
thrown away upon these men, who will ALLEVIATE
much of their remaining support by this eX-
hibitOn of reckless unfairneSs. Meanwhile
the Republicans, whose dignIfed attitude must
win the respect of GarcelOn himself. are
quietly awaiting the decision of the Supreme
Court upon the questions submitted, which
are printed elsewhere. The Court conyenes
to-day, and the exigency is likely to call forth
a speedy answer.
