THE LATEST FRENCH SCANDAL.

The publishers who have just bestowed upon
the American people tho Memoirs of Sarah
Banum," and the two literary contractors
under whose superintendent flty-three
ladies and gentlemen" turned the stupid
French original into stupid and ungrammatical
English, refer with amazing complacency to an
exploit which entities them to the notice of Mr..
Anthony Comstock. The book is tho most
hideous mass of vulgartyand filth that ever fell
under our eyes. 1t is not in the least amusing
even to the depraved taste which delights in
personal scandal; it is not piquant, nor witty,
nor @racy," nor even severe. Its indecency Is
of the most brutal and sickening description,
and the malice with which it is filed is so
Tepusive as to defeat its own purpose We find
it hard to realize Il state of society in which
a man can write such book, or a woman show
her facc in public after giving her name to it.
Probably there is no class of readers in this
country bad enough to take pleasure in such
literature. and the firm which made haste to

Before the public has had time to forget the
horrors of the murder of Mrs. Maybee and her
daughter, which occurred on November IL, near
Oyster Bay, L. l., another double crime OF IKE
nature has been committed in the same neigh
borhood. An aged couple OF means ana
great responsibility have been found In
their house, robbed and beaten so
that the husband will certainly die
and the wife probably. 1t is to be hoped that
the residents of Oyster Bay will see the neces-
sity of making extraordinary efforts to ferret
out the perpetrator of this crime. 1t is serious
matter for any community to have the reputa-
ton of being unable to afford security for the
life and property of its members. Indeed, all
the towns on Long Island should realize that
their interests call for such measures as VIII
prevent the repetition of these shocking trag-
edies within their boundaries. The Long
Island Railway Company apparently sees tins
point, and has offered reward for the dis
covery of the criminals.

The President has followed up the report of

The Submarine Telephone.



In the building in which are the main
Offices OF the Postal Telegraph company a
number of gentlemen were experimenting
yesterday with a telephone, with which the
invento says he expects to talk across the
ocean as soon as the Bennett ackey cable is
laid. 1t il the invention Of Webster Gillett
of Ypsilanti, Mich, who claims to have
solved the problem OF adding battery to line
almost without limit. Tnis he does BY utiliz-
ing a number Of independent local batteries,
induction coils, and deviating points stimuli
taneous.y.
II the number Of cells OF tho battery could
be increased without limit. ami still not buru
the low conducting medium, Mr.. Gillett says
1t would be possible 10 speak at almost any
distances with an ordinary telephone. He
has constructed instrument with two, four,
ten and twenty deviating points, and he
claims that in the instrument W tn twenty
points presented to the diaphragm the vibra-
ton induced by all these currents working
together is perfectly Simultaneous. In this
way, he says, a current OF sufficient strength
is generated on the line wire to overcome
very high resiStance-us high, he believes, as
will be found on the Atlantic cable. The re-
ceiving instrument presents both poles of the
magnet to the diaphragm, which acts as a
keeper, and it is claimed that it is more sensi-
tive than other receivers.
The experiments made were in speaking
through II: ten-point multiple telephone
over about 800 miles OF wire between this
city and Washington. 1t was n wire of the
Postal Telegraph company's system, and
close to 1t was a wire on which a Morse in
strument was working. The induced cur
rent was so strong that a telegraph operator
could read in the telephone receiver tine mes
sage that was being clicked of. There was
also some other arrangement OF currents re-
sulting from damage TO tho wires by the gale
of Friday. Notwithstanding these vor-
able conditions, conversation between the
two cities was carried or. When the click
ing of the Morse instrument ceased for n no.
ment the voice OF the telephone came out
with great distinctuesa

to be tried OH the ocean cable is u formidable

The unit rule, winch seems 10 be par
t~isularly popular am 1ng the rank and file
of the New York Democracy, was the
principal bone Of contention in the Chi
cago convention yesterday. The fight
against it was most bitterly waged by Mr.,
John Kelly, who IS this morning afflicted
with a fair-sized ~metaphorieal black eye in
consequence. 1t was the understanding
at the Saratoga convention that whatever
candidate was favored by a majority of
the New York delegates should receive
the entire vote of the delegation. While
no actual test of strength was made it was
tacitly un lerstood hat a majority Of the
delegates favored Cleveland, and under
the oll-time rule of New York Democ-
racy this would give him the delegation
as a unit As New York happens to be
the pivotal state, roTy much depended on
who could secure the delegation, not so
much for the actual seyenty-two votes
which it could give but the prestige that
would be carried with il. John Kelly
does not favor Cleveland, hence his de-
ternined effort to break the unit rule.
Mr.. Kelly was laid Out stiff and cold in
the convention yesterday.

IT Seems to be now generally conceded
that Grover Cleveland will be the Presi-
DENTAL nominee at Chicago. The action
of the convention in sustaining the unit
rule gave to his boom a vigorous boost,
and only the most peculiar and uuex-
pected complications car now prevent his
nomination. There appears to be com
paratively little talk at present regarding
the second place. on the ticket, which
naturally..hinges on the Presidential nomina-
ton. If the honor shunli fall to Cleve-
land the nomination will naturally go to
some one living in a stale farther away
from the Atlantic seaboard. There are
many very available men, but the com
bination that seems to arouse the greatest
enthusiasm is Cleveland and Mcdonald.
They are both strong and able men aud
would make a good ticket.

pondent, we would state that Tammany
was first organized as a society i'll 1863
with Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr and
other prominent men to give it cunt
nance. The society was organized to rep
resent democratic principles and opposed
to the ideas Of a limited monarchy as add
vlnced by the Society of ''C%incinnatus.
, The society was named after Tammany, a
remarkable Indian chicftain, who, in the
early days, organized the, thirteen tribes
Of New York, into one confederation.
Tammany's council consists of thirteen sa-
chems. The society is secret, with grips,
signs and passwords. IS 1t is made up of
about l, 100 members, representing one
member to every 100 Democratic votes
cast in each assembly district The so
ciety is governed by a committee of or
ganization consisting of sixteen members
from each district. John Kelly is not the
Grand Sachem of Tammany, as gener--
ally supposed, but Is simply one of its
chiefs. He was born of poor parents in
New York City. but through his own eff
forts acquired a liberal education. Not
withstanding all that has been sud of
him, he is a man Of culture a. well as a
man of extraordinary ability. Among
other accomplishments, he speaks French
and German fuently and is said to fairly
reyel with delight in the pages of the i'm
mortal Shakespeare. He was once
Comptroller Of New York City and after
ward a member of Congress for a single
session. He is worth abou. a million dol
Lrs and although many people mo
help viewing some Of his actions with Il
considerable degree of susp cion, he
is fairly'idolized by Tammany, the mem
b,rs of which chcerfully acknowledge him
as their real leader.
