when the Supreme Court declared the he
funding bill unconstitutional, will be success
full That measure had not only lifted up
the good name of the State itself, but
had borne with it the regulations of the
neighboring Commonwealth, as was shown
10y the renewed confidence OF investors
in all Southern securities. The decision oil
the Court was unexpected, but the kepuo-
licans have gone to work to remedy the EVIL,
and have decided to call Constitutional Con-
vention to see if they cannot engraft on tile
fundamental law of the State debt-paylng
clause. A. they will have an excellent oppoT-
tunity to lay the case before the people, we
believe that they will find in the end that they
have the support of all honest men. The Dem
ocratic party is divided, and an examina-
ton of the arguments of the Regulators will
show their falsity. The final result will be,

mary elections were considered by the Assem-
bly, in Committee of the Whole last evening.
1t will be seen from our Albany dispatches
that Z" the father Of the House, MIR. Alvord,
antagonized the bills, and expressed the opin-
ion that the people of the State would be I'M
willing to incur the additional election expenses
which the bills call for. If the father OF the
House is correct in his estimate Of the people,
then they must care surprisingly little for the
right of suffrage. In theory that is the most
precious of American political rights, but, AS
the average caucus is now conducted 1T is too
often practically denied to every fair-mnded
voter who does not take his orders from
boss Under these bills the right of suffrage
would be surrounded with additional safe
guards Of incalcalable value, and the stand
ard of nominations to pnblic Office wonderfully
improved. Such reform, would he worth
all it cost, even if the cost were one
hundred times greater than it is to be under
either of these mcaaures And we cannot
but believe that the Masses realizing as
they do that good government Is conditioned
on good nominations, agree with us rather

Long Island City, which has had for some
time an unpleasant reputation consequent upon
its neglect to pay its policemen and school
teachers now seems to be seized with the bad
ambition of rvaing some of the New-Jersey
towns in the matter of dishonesty among its
officers The Water Board is certain that
it has discovered an embezzlement by the chief
engineer. Also as if TO lower the tone of the
place the president of the Board of Aldermen
has had ight with a director of one OF the gas
companies. The provocatiOn WAS that this
officer would not use his influence to get the
city TO pay the bills for lighting the streets.

teen other Democrats in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes who yesterday voted to make the
discussion of the bill providing for the extern
sion of the charters of National banks a special

asperated with the senseless opposition OF their

sire TO increase the chances of panic. APP

l:an,bctta's Cousin.

Mile. Claire Gambctta, artistic Lyifguc, has
been interviewed by one Of the lieuicnants of
NJ. Arthur Meyer OF the GdulOis, who found
the young lady singing at Il cafe ctdntdntat
Nantes, in the midst Of clouds OF tobacco
smoke and the fumes of beer and spirits.
Mile. Gambcila, who sings very fairly, de-
carcs that She is the palcrnal cousin of the
quondam host of the Palais Bourbon, but
that while the Gamlctlas of Cahors made
fortune in the grocery trade, her father who
settled down at Orange, was cempcIltd to
earn his living as plastctcr. Mile. Claire adds
that she never asked her cousin for anything
until her father died in 1876, when, left
alone with her mother and an aunt, she
made AN appeal 10 the head of the Repub-
lican party. She came to Paris ana sent
a request to NJ. Gambctti enclosing him
certain family papers which proved her ilcn-
lity. lie kept the papers and sent her 30 +
by VI. Saint Martin, who told her she must
expect nothing more from Lcr cousin. NJ.
Naquel, deputy for the department from
which Mile. Gambetta came, tried 10 get up
a subscription for the young lady among his
colleagues, but when they knew that the Re
publican leader d>approved of the idea they
buttoncd up their pockets Last of all the
young girl was compelled to make use OF her
Voice. She has practised and taken lessons,
earning the applause of her audience and re-
cciving fattering Offers from agents anxious
that she should come TO Paris. She in
tends to give a series of concerts at Lille, and
then she has an engagement at the Dix
Ncuvemc Steele a caft chdatdat
in the Faubourg Saint-Dcnis where
Parisiuns will have every oppor-
tunity of hearing the young girl Mile.
Claire Gambetia reminds Que of the persons
whose names are inscparatle from the anec-
dotes related respecting the men of the day,
NJ. Theirs had a sis'cr Nine. Report, who
kept table d'hotc in the Rue Drouot, and
who delighted the Parisians with a broad
calico advertisement, hung from window to
window, bearing the following inscription
Table d'hotc, kept by Nine. Repett, nee
Timers, sister TO the Prime Minister" But
this did moi prevent her from dying in d
state of desttuton while the pitt 5onrgeojs,
her brother, was president of the republic.
Under The empire, Mile. de Il cschamps,
who declared that she vas the daughter of
Lucicn Bonaparte by his marriage with a
lady of that name, announced herself every
where US 'cousin to the emperor" and en-
gagged herself to sing ut n cafe chdHtaHt at
Nichy when Napoleon III. was staying at
that place.
