The meeting held at the Clearing House to
urotest against the reputation of State bonds
ought to have good eff ct upon the residents OF
those Southern COrpmonwcaths which are try
ing to repudiate their solemn obligations. The
persons present were some of our most honor
able and prominent business men, whose good
opinion Is worth having. 1t was plain from the
speeches made that their patience with the re-
radiators is about exhausted. The conduct
of the State of Tennessee was the most consplc-
uous object of censuie, and her citizens will do
we'll to give heed to the sharp comments OF the
bondholders. The State is made up OF citizens,
and each one has personal share In her honor
or dishonor. They cannot be dishonest collec-
lively without paying for it individually. II
their State does not pay her debts az she has
promised, their personal credit will suffer ser-
ously in this city--the great commercial centre
of the country. That is the plain Inference
from the sentiments uttered yesterday by the in
dignant boudholders. So II the taxpayers of
those Southern States which are trying 20 repu-
date their just debts persist in their dishonest
schemes, they will do it with their eyes open,
and must be prepared to take the conse-
quencee.

The outbreak of typhus fever at No. l69
Hester-st. is grave warning. when the
health authorities found the first case oil
this dreaded disease there, few weeks ago,
they feared it would not be the last. Untortu-
nately their apprehenslons were Justified Tor TWO
new eases are reported. The most energetic
action on the part Of the inspectors will be
needed to stamp ont the contagion. The people
who have been exposed to it ought not to be al
lowed to work In crowded factories as one
young woman has been doing. A quarantine OF
this kind may cause suffering to some but that
can be alleviated and the fever must be al
lowed no chances The warning should be wide
spread. This is the time Of year when the effects
of bad sanitary conditions are sure to crop
out and wherever there is suspicion that any
thing is wrong ia dwelling or factory, the atten-
ton of the Health Board should be promptly
called to the matter.

The dinner last night to Sir Edward
Archibald. the late British Consul General,
was remarkable tribute. Very rarely
has retiring official been complimented
by the attendance Of so large and distin-
guIsLed q representation of the commercial
interests of the metropolis at testimonial
banquet. The occasion was made noteworthy
by the admirable speech OF Mr.. Evarts
and the even more admirable response of the
guest Of the evening. Nothing more
simple. digniHed and graceful than Sir
Edward Archibalds account OF his official
career has lately been heard.

Another attempt is to be made to convince
Governor Cleveland that it will be IN the in
terest of good government for him to veto the
bill for the payment of 600 election inspectors
in this city who failed to comply with the
law. This effort ought to succeed. The very
letter of the election law cannot be enforced
too strictly. 1t is our only safeguard Tor nom
est elections. III the inspectors do their duty
thoroughly, there will be no chance Tor such
disputes over results as those in the Aillth
Assembly District in this city, and in some OF
the Brooklyn districts. The New-fork IN
spectors, as a class, are taken FROM the low
est ranks of the political factions. With
great many of them it seems to be constant
struggle TO do the least possible amount OF
work for their money. and TO Steer as closely
as they dare to the line of State Prison Of
fences without quite crossing it, An unspar-
ing enforcement Of the law would secure
prompt and perfect returns after every cleo
tion-returns which would be above suspicion.
Such we are Gar from having now. The bill
which is before the Governor if approved,
Will encourage looseness, negligence, and even
crime.

CUNKLING'S INrLUENCE.
The Ex-senator Using His Friendship in
Washington for His Own Benefit.

The Ex-senator Using His Friendship in
Washington for His Own Benefit.
The fees of Roscoe COnkling arc not
confined to his legal knowledge. lie still
makes money out of his influence. His
late visit to Washington lasted but a few
hours and paid him $1,000. This is how
it did SO. A young attorney Of Washing.
ton to fame unknown had an important
land case. Much property was involved,
but the signature of Secretary of the In.
terror Teller was necessary to the success
of tho suit. This accomplished and the
unknown attorney could claim the SIS, 600
fee agreed upon by contract. He tried in
every way to get Te!ler's signature, but
all his efforts were useless and Ee was in
despair. At last he wrote to Conkling,
told him that he had the case and that all
it lacked was Teller's signature to bring 81
settlement. He offered COnkling So, 900 il
he would procure this.
Conkling came to Washington, saw the
young man, got the paper and called on
the secretary of the interior. Mr.. Teller
was glad to SEQ Conkling, flattered and
fluttered at the honor. Mr.. Conkling
said, goes the story "Mr. Teller, have
a little case here in which friends of mine
are interested. 1t is all right and it only
requires signature. Will you please look
over these papers and if you can sign them
I will consider it personal favor"
Secretary Teller was glad to look over
them and he signed them with hardly
word. Conkling received back the papers,
bade the secretary his usual courteous
good day, strutted off to the young at
torney's Office and took s., 900 for the job
and the evening train back to New York.
The young man has since received his fee
and he is $13, 900 richer than he was few
weeks ago.

CASSIDY'S CHARACrERiSTI
Tho Caution of the Attorney General.

Tho Caution OF the Attorney General.
Philadelphia Record Gossip.
Attorney General Cassidy has always
been a lawyer who knew not what rest
was. Yet he is not rich. OF course, he
has some money laid away !; but the ac.
ceptance of this position is considered by
his friends as direct pecuniary loss to
him. In great measure he is compelled to
set aside his private practice, which is OF
the most profitable sort. During the sea-
sons of the Legislature it is necessary
for him to be in Harrisburg, with.
in the beck and call of the governor.
I am told that Cassidy would not have
accepted this position had it not been
for the opposition which was manufac-
tured against him. The bait was tempting
and one that a man could scarce refuse.
On the one side was tho honor, possi-
bility of stepping higher and tho salts.
faction of knowing that his name would
60 down in tho pages of history. Upon
the other was the thought of breaking
into a lucrative practice, CHANGING the
picking it up again after four years if
nothing better offers itself. The attorney
generalship was not accepted the same day
it was offered, nor the same week. Cassidy
is never sanguine of anything. He crosses

cesses, both at the bar and in pol
itics He never sees a silver lining in
cloud, and does not believe tho sun will
shine until its golden rays pour down in
full force. He worries over adverse criti-
cisms in the newspapers, aud becomes
restless when good word is spoken to
him. Why? Because he fears some one
else will take it up and twist it around the
other way. When he is engaged upon an
important case hs knows nothing else until
a verdict is rendered. He studies every
detail minutely, evolves in his mind the
best plan for breaking down the witnesses
of the opposition, and if he can possibly
avoid it, will not burden his mind with
any other matter. When he comes to
make speech he knows what he is talk
ing about. 1t can be taken for granted
then, that no decision he renders as
attorney general is dashed off haphazard.
1t is intended to be impregnable to the
sharpest lance of criticism.

THE UNKNOWN"

The liody of n Man found in the River.
Yesterday afternoon the body Of an un-
known man was fouud floating in tho Sus-
quehanna river at Marietta, by some men
who were boating. Deputy Coroner Arm
strong was notified aud he empannelled a
jury consisting of Samuel NJ. Myers, Henry
Shue, Alexander Shue, Samuel Rechard.
II. Eley and Benton Eley. They found
that s" an unknown man came to his death
fror, accidental drowning" The body of
the deceased was in an advanced stage Of
decomposition, and there we're no papers
on it which would assist in his identifca-
ton. IL is believed that the man was
drowned at some point up the river. and
the body tioated down to the point where
it was found for the purpose of giving a
Lancaster county coroner chance at it.
The body was taken in charge by some
men who inferred it on the York county
side, SO if he fell into the river far up the
stream, he was drowned in one county, sat
upon by the coroner in second and buried

The churches seem to be having a
hard time with their preachers and con =
gregations. The Methodist elders can't
get their congregations to take the
preachers they do not want, and the
Presbyterans cannot get them to give
up those they do want. Philadelphia
seems just now to be the rebellious dis.
trict. If the congregations have the
money that will enable them TO enjoy
the preacher they want, they had better
get him or keep him. They need not
care particularly what the Presbyterian
or Methodist authorities think about it.
Theyare in position to please themselves.
DenominatiOnal ties sit lightly on the
people. Personal ties are much stronger
naturally. A minister who cannot in.
terest his congregation is misplaced.
Should he not go And why should not
one who pleases them stay with them if
he SO wishes Does church regulation
forbid ? Discard the regulation. Does
doctrinal point interfere ? Discard
the doctrine. Let the people and pastor
suit themselves and be happy; if they
can afford the luxury.

Tho Strange Adventures OF Shipwrecks
Sailors IN tho Southern Pacific.

Tho Strange Adventures OF Shipwrecked
Sailors IN tho southern Pacific.
Captain Joseph Fuller, of the bark
Pilots Bride, of New London, who has
just arrived in Boston, tells a remarkable
story of shipwreck and castaway life. The
Pilots Bride left New London April II,
1880, for the Island of Desolation between
Cape Town and Australia, on a whaling
voyage, and was wrecked in q storm on
the 4th of October, the same year. All
the crew succeeded in reaching an unin
habited island safely, and there they had
to stay until September, 1882, living on
some flour and bread which had been
saved from the wreck, and what they
could find on the island. Captain Fuller
says:
I'VE could not roast everything very
we'll, for the reason of the peculiar way in
which We were obliged to build our fire.
We had not enough wood to last to keep
elephants as fuel. These creatures were
crawling on the beach. We built fire of
wood and placed this blubber above Oh
cross sticks. The heat caused the oil to
drop down continually, thus keeping up
the blaze. 1t was q nice contrivance for u
fire, but it impaired an exceedingly
unpleasant smoky and oily flavor
to the food and we were obliged
to be very careful. We also found
growing about species of wild
cabbage, which we cooked and ate fSe-
quently. Our chief trouble was to find
clothes !; our garments, though shabby,
held together, but our shoes after awhile
gave out. We tried to supply their places
by boots made from sea elephants hide,
but the trouble with that was they soaked
water too fast. Finally We were reduced
to shoes, the bottoms of which were made
| of plank and the uppers of canvas. The
men now began to become discontented and
| wanted to have their own way. One night
some six of tho dissatisfied stole our best
boat and pulled some .O:ty miles of and
we're gone a month. They got out of
bread and came back, prowling around
the camp one night. We caught them,
and next morning took them over to an
| island, some mile or 80 off shore, and
there left them with one third of our pro.
! visions.
Our rescue did not take place until Sept.
