THE yEW-JERsEY SEYArORSHIP.

II is common fame that certain Legislators
at Trenton n j., are by their conduct adVer-
Using their Willingness to be paid for the votes
which they are soon to east for a United states
Senator TO succeed Mr.. Mcpherson. 1t is to be
hoped that this prevalent opinion has no foun-
dati0n in fact. And yet it is evident that popu-
lar faith in Legislative purity at some Oh our
State capitOs is rather feeble when ruI1oi
of this sort finds such easy credence III Is 10 "e
hoped too that if any confederacy OF plac'lcdi
politicians is really meditatlng an assault upon
the pockets Of aspiring statesmen, the strikers
will discover that they have under-estimateu 'iie
virtue of the candidates. Fortunately enter
prses of this kind are growing more perilous.
Eminent corrupti0nists have turned pale Delore
now at the thought of Jersey justice as admin
istered by Jersey courts And at thiS paItIcuinf
time il is not prudent fer woud-be Senator
70 boast how much money he has to invest III
this venture.
Meanwhile. if there are any honest Demo
cratic legislators who desire to defeat Senator
Mcpherson their plain duty is to select some
onponent to whose reputation clings no suSpi-
cion of faint. Chancellor Runyon is such
man. Every one knows that he would not buy
or dicker his way through to the Senate. nor
slsulk into a seat there by the denial or conceal
ment of any conviction or principle. lie would
bring to the service of the State and OF the
country ripe scholarship. discriminating in
teligence and SOUND Judgment, together with
a moral steadness and force which would make
his influence felt in any body. This seems to
be year when c,ucuses count for little, and n
few determined men of both parties in Trenton
NAV be able to bring about a. result OF which
the State need not he ashamed.

has the matter in charge and the epidemic is
believed to be under control. The way the
contagion spread is told in our Albany letter.
A worthless prodigal returning to his deserted
family last May scattered the seeds of disease
among the passengers of an express train ana
an old lady carried the contagiOn to Schuyler
County in her shawl. 1t seems to be result
of having the smallpox that the patient I'M
mediately wants to start on journey OF 10
visit among his friends. The Health Board OF
this city last week captured patient VINO
had been spending his time since he had been
taken i'll in calling on all his friends, drinking
at all liquor stores in his neighbOrhood as wen
as attending church, and going to see MS
tailor. These are not items OF pleasing lnlor-
nation, but they have a moral. 1t Is to get
yourself vaccnated again If you nave not
done so lately.
The sinking of the Cimbria, with an appalling
loss of life, again calls attention to the TACT that
the boaSted water-tight 6ulkheads IN ocean
steamships seem to be OF little use IN u collision
Yet these are one of the last provisions for
safety which builders have hit upon. So great
reliance is placed upon them that in de-
scribing OF advertising new steamship
particular attention is called 10 the OK
istence of these compartments. In review
ing the wrecks of last year in these col
umns, recently, the great number Of vessels
which went to the bottom despite their water
tight bulkheads was commented upon. Inc
only instance that we now recall in which the
bulkheads were of much avail was IN the case
of the Arizona she came off triumphant from
an encounter with an iceberg, owing to her wa
ter-tight compartments But two more dlsas-
tiers must now be reckoned as against thlS
boosted device OF ship carpenters. The City
OF Brussels was struck on her starboard bow
and went down almost Immediately. she had
seven water-tight bulkheads with tood-gates
worked from the spar-deck. The Sultan
crushed into the Cimbra abaft the first collision
bnkhead. This doomed vessel had six trans
verse water-tight compartments, but she sank
in few moments. Unfavorable conclusions
must inevitably be drawn from these calanlties
Either the value of the system of buikheads
is overrated, or the partitions between the
compartments are not made properly or strong
enough, or the flood gates arc carelessly allowed
to remain open.
