COPYING UHICH COSTS TOO MUCH.

COPYING WHICH COSTS 100 MUCH.
The Board of Estimate and Apportionment
would TO we'll to subject 70 the closest scrutiny the
demands which Register Reilly makes for another
appropriation for recopying old libers in his
office. The figures which the Title Guarantee and
Trust Companv sent TO the Mayor yesterday
standing by themselves, make singular showing
According to the Registers own report filed with
the secretary of State the fees of his Office for
1854 amounted TO $l6O 000-a pretty liberal sum
when all deductions are made. 1t assuredly Is
large enough to enable the Register to pay out OF
# all employees who are engaged III
work for his personal benefit. That
certainly was truo of the clerks who
for several weeks, if not months last summer de-
voted themselves chiefly to interfering with the
Title Company'5 work in the Hall of Records Bat
the Register is evidently thrifty soul and is not
only determined that the company shall not sue
ceed m reducing his enormous fees, bat prefers not
TO pay out of his pocket for the expense 81 de-
featlng them. Therefore he uses for this purpose,
not he clerks in his personal employ, but those
paid ont of county moneys for rccopylhg Ola
records.
Ii he has followed the same methods with other
companies OF individuals. II is lttl' w0uder that
the rccopyng of these records, so TAR as III mas
gone has cost the county over 5000 lber III
stead of less that 5000 liber. as

his course. and if so he will deserve the greater
credit To ordinary eyes it seems uncertain
whether the Treasury can add much to It's soio
reserve during the month, and whether
depletiOn of that reserve at this time Is eSpe-
dent. This is to be said in its favor, that IL
tonds IN create confidence. If the Secretary
SAYS he has more money than he wants, at least
nine-tenths of the people ordinarily accept Ills
Judgment In some conditions OF the money
market, also, the announcement would give an
imnortant stimulus. But the one thing that
Wall Street does not need at present IS more
money, and the condition of the Treasury Is at
present 90 generally understood, public a'ten-
ton having been turned in that direction Dy
anxiety regarding the silve question, that II Is
doubtful whether the announcement VIII DC
accepted without question as proof of abound
ing strength in the Treasury.
One financial effect OF possible Importance
should not be overlooked; a considerable Dram
OF money might occur early next year, when
disbursements by the Treasury would meet,
relieving any pressure or apprehension. Bat
the Secretary probably has in mind a less dis
tant event He has been sharply criticised ny
many for holding money and strengthening the
reserve, and it is probable that he wishes in
measure to dsarm such criticism. II he can DO
SO safely he may thereby increase the chances
of some rational agreement in regard to the
question of coinage, though of such agreement,
it is fair to say, there seems but little prospect

and concludes from the lower percentage i'll the
LATTER State that there can be dlstranc hsement

reasons why the percentage IN Maine would be
much lower than that of Delaware under natural
conditions. There is considerable foreign pOpula-

1t would be an unfortunate thing for Cover
nor Abbet if the report of the Supervisor or
the New-Jersey State Prison should be un-
necessarily delayed before reaching the public
eve. Uncharitable politicians ut Trenton would
certainly remark to one another that probably
the Supervisors careful observations did not
pack up the system of prison labor to which
Governor Albeit has committed himself, both
officially and on the stump. 1t would also
be a bad thing for the Governor and his pollt-
ical schemes if that report should show that the
goods now made in the New-Jersey Prison
under his SYSTEM are put upon the market at
lower prices than under the contIact-labor
plan.

1t is to be hoped that tho courts will make
short work of the man, Harrington, who
chopped his wife's head to pieces yesterday
because he Was jealous and drunk, for this
particularly atrocuus kind of crime is of too
frequent occurrence hereabouts. The perpe-
traitors generally get hanged, to be sure but by
the time they reach the eallows their crime has
almost been forgotten, and among the lower
classes especially, more sympathy is felt for
the guilty man than adherence. Perhaps II
Justice would not dawdle in cases like this the
effect of the hanging would DC better. There is

A SHARP REroRT.-1nysrsoll says: I'm
no country in the world had woman less
liberty than in the Holy Land"
Father Lambert answers: 1T depends on
what you mean By liberty It is true,
women in Judea had not the liberty to do
women Of Pagan nations, just as virtuous
women has NOT the liberty of the depraved
and fallen. It is this fact that gives the laws
of Moses pre-. eminence over the laws of
Pagan nations The honor of wives and
the modesty of daughters were protected in
Judea. The women of Egypt, Chaldea,
Persia, Greece, ETC., had the liberty to
marry their uncles, brothers, fathers, and
even mothers were free to marry their
own sons How cruel in Moses to forbid
these liberties to the women Of Judea
Pagan women had the liberty to sacrifice
their virtue at the lewd affairs Of Venus and
Cybele A description Of the wickedness
and impurty the worship of these heathens
involved, can be read by no virtuous Chris
tan without shudder Moses forbade
these denominations in honor Of God and
human nature, and for this you accuse him
of taking away the rights Of women. 1t is
to the honor Of Hebrew women that they
did not practice such liberties and to He
brew legislation that they were not permit
ted you had read and studied the his
torians, Uerodotus and Strabo, in reference
to the condition Of women in Babylon Lydia,
Thrace, Armenia, Medea, India, Egypt and
Greece, you would have less TO say about their
liberties. | refer you to these authors, as it
would not be proper to quote the descriptions
of life, manners and worship in those coun-
tries in book like this The lives of mother
and child were protected in Judea. In those
countries have mentioned they were at the
mercy Of husband and master. This was
also the case in ancient Rome"
