THE PRODIGAL and TIE pR0rpSr


Too little attention has been given to one Of
ole most dramatic scenes in the late Demo-
cratic COnVentl0n-an occurrence which could
not but recall to the minds of men familiar ,a
all the delegates were with the parohlns of
the New Testament the touching oucgor,
OF the Prodigal Son. 1t was the entrance 70
front seat of the Convention of Gonorol
Daniel f.. Slckles. Formerly Democrat Gon-
eral Scsles has for many years been v,o,,
derer from the party fold, and for the n,st
year or two has enjoyed so little of official
favor from those with whom he had consented
that he might fairly be said to have lived unon
the mere husks of patronage. TO him, snhsist-
ing thus precariously, there came last fan
thoughtful mood of mind, n torcbloht
procession and brass band. The torchI;~lts
and the brass band, with which he had henn
told several days before that he WAS Tn ba
surprised awakened in him tender memories
OF the past and perhaps gided hopes for the
future. Before the band had played mora
than tune and a half he suddenly remarked to
the drllm-major and others standing near in .
voice trembling with emotion and almost
drowned by the bass drum, q will arise and
go to my father" meaning thereby that he
would vote for Hancock. His request TO be

tirely drowned 10y the drum but it went with
out saying that he was willing to be put ON
the payroll at once.

willing to wait. And this was his first State

Ii is singular and gratifying fact that during the
whole time that the East River Bridge has been
building not word OF opposition To the entcr,ris.,
has been uttered by the Union Ferry Corpan1
whose receipts cannot but be materially diminished
when the bridge rs opened to travel. This companys
has been striking contrast with the policc
OF the street railway companies in This city from the
time when the elevated roads were first projected
The herccst opposition was manifested by All fine
surface roads; they declared that nothing but ruiu
was III store Tor them If the elevated structures were
built, and used every means i'm their mower
both ut Albany and before the local authorities 10
prevent that result. Time has shown how unv.ise
their course was; the surface companies are
to pay handsome divide. their stockholders in
spite OF the acknowledged success of the elevoted
roads. 1t is inevitable hat the Union Ferry Com
pany, two of whose ferries within "A very short
distance of the tcrmini of the bridge on both sides
of the river, will be seriously affected by the loss of
traffic that will follow he completion of tine brdya

During the "one-cent hours" in the morning and
evening the of the Fulton Ferry are faxed
to their utmost, and with the prospective growth of
Brooklyn, the company in few years will be
unable to carry with due rapidity the vast number
of persons deslrous of crossing the East River unless
1t increases the number of slips and boats This
would require considerable outlay rs the propcrtv

the Terry company in abstaining from opposition 10

1t is evident from the extensive damage
which the hurricane caused yesterday to the
British land wires that some submarine cables
are needed to prevent such Interruptions.
Were there cables from Valentia to the Eng
hsh and French coasts a few underground lines
III connection with them would suffice to keep
the centres of European news in regular COM
municatiOn with this country.
The gold medals awarded to Brush Edison.
and Maxim, at the Electrical Exhibition in
Paris, are substantial Acknowledgement that
our country keeps pace with the most pro-
gressive nations in that branch of practical
science Our inventors have this time com
peted with the greatest achievements Of Eu-
ropean skill, and have more than held their
own.
The Emigration Commissioners have been
sustained by Judge j. f. DAILY, in the
Court of Common Pleas, in their demand upon
the agents of six steamship companies for
$4,000 head money due upon the same num-
Der OF Immigrants. Judge DAILY gave iudg-
ment Tor the full amount claimed, but sus-
pended 1t in order to allow decision of the
General Term upon the companies claim that
the new act authorizing the collection of
head-money is unconstitutional and i'm VIOLA
ton of the treaties with foreign countries.
The French and German guests of the Ma
ton were received yesterday in a becoming
manner by the President, and afterward by
the Senate, which took recess of half an
hour III order to allow Senators to exchange
greetings with the visitors. The popular dem
onstratiOns that followed were in every WAY
adequate, and must have testified to the guests
the warm feeling of gratitude which the
America OF to-day is always glad to show to
any representatives OF the gallant men who
helped the America of a century ago in it
struggle for Il free existence.
The small and INSCRIPTIONS gossps of poll
ties have been busy of late spreading
rnmors of a suppressed report upon the
contingent expenses of the Treasury De-
partment under Secretary Sherman's ad
miustration, the publication of which was TO
ruin an indefinite number of persons and prove
corruption in high places The chief object of
these rumors was, evidently, the injury of Mr..
Sherman himself. 1t is a sufficient answer to
them 10 say that Mr.. Sherman him
self offered resolution in the Senate
yesterday calling upon the Secretary for
copies of the report made by Meline and any
papers received by him based upon snch re-
ports. 1t is not the habit of men who have
reason for fearing disclosures to force them 70

PLEASANT FEATURE
OF the recent meeting OF the commissioners
was soiree musicale given to them on the
night OF their departure, by the prisoners,
among whom there are many excellent mu-
sicians. The music was furnished by q
string band of three pieces and the pro-
gramme consisted Of a choice selection of
classical music and melodies, songs, both
solos and choruses, and dancing by the
prisoners. The boys seemed to heartily en-
joy the occasion snd felt gratified for the
privileges extended to them, to relieve the
monot0ny Of their lives. Much attention
has been gwen to this matter recently in
eastern prisons and 1t does seem that, II II
