FEMALE OFFICEHOLDERS.

Those who look with conservative dis
trust or the jealous apprehension of
certain ancient Athenian aTtificers upon
the accession of women to lines of man
agement and control in affairs, will note
with satisfaction seeming failure in
New York. Its not very long since it
was announced that the contest for years
had resulted in the appointment of
three very capable ladies to the board
that has control of the schools of New
York city. 1t has been generally con-
ceded that women are peculiarly fitted
to give direction to the trainintof chill
dren and management of schools. No
part OF the charging area OF activities
offers them more cordial welcome The
terms of two of these three lady men,
bers of the educational board are about
to expire, and delegation claiming
to represent nearly all the female
teachers of the public schools comes be-
fore the mayor to ask him not only not
to reappoint the two ladies going out,
but not to appoint any more women to
the board, restricting it to men entirely.
The reasons assigned for this disparage-
ment of their sex are rather vague and
ineXact A suggestion of business is as
fOrcible as any,and leaves it not hard to
infer thai some pet scheme was in
vOlyed. This proves to be the fact
The ladies had vigorously opposed the
appropriation of $4,000 year for the

support of normal school at the ex-
pense of the primary department.. They
opposed running high-priced polish
ing department for a few hundred
young ladies when thousands were ex
Guided from the rudimentary schools for
lack of room. This normal feature
seems to be q pet with the lady teachers
and the elderly male f0gies Of the board
who enjoy posing as the special audi
ence for youth aud grace to dis
play their attractions before. In fact,
so far from this instance affording sup
port to the Bourbon theories in educa-
cational ranges, it yindicates the fitness
of women for controlling positions in
the school systems. These ladies were
wiserthan the men, and displayed more
practical realization of the real needs.
1t is shown by statistics that there are
more than 1900 children denied admit
lance to the schools of that city for lack
of accommodations. Their needs ought
to stand before the adjoining of the few
in the ornamental fields of female ac-
c0mplishments. 1t is probably mis-
fortune to the educational interests of
New York city that the board is not en-
tirely composed OF ladies like those
whose continuance is opposed.

DISCRIMINATING PARTIsANs

The new commissioner of pensions is
credited with very prudent mouth,
and will cause no embarrassment to the
administration from imprudent speech.
It's probable that under his direction
there will be no more rerating of en-
pIOyes by themselves; but there is a
long list of those who have had their
revenues enhanced improperly, and it
does not appear that there is to be a re-
call of the money paid out Illegally, as
alleged, or dismissal of the offenders
from the public service. Still, fairness
compels the statement that there has
been at least one dismissal from the
service on this account. Take the
SMITHS, for instance. There were
JAMES and HIRAM in the pension de-
partment. JAMES had his pension re-
rated from $40 to $50 month, with
81, 236 back pay. HIRAM also got his
mon thly pension swelled, and took IN the
snug sum of S6,O35 as back pay. The re-
form management saw at once that
JAMES had done wrong, and should be
put out of the public service as a devOur-
er of the national substance and a PERM
cious fellow. But as HIRAM had done
the same thing, and takenih COED deal
more as back rations, it might be sup
posed that he would be retired with
JAMES, but such was not the fact. He
still draws his Sc, 800 salary. although he
has no advantage of JAMES in looks or
in any of the virtues that are so attract
i've about the public places now. 1t
was question of party. JAMES is a
Democrat and HIRAM a Republican.
An example must be made of JAMES.
1t was, perhaps, fortunate for the cause
of reform and the new dispensationthat
there was a SMITH who was a Demo-

BANKRUPT LEGISLATION.

Among the many recommendations
made by the commercial convention re-
Gently held in ST. Louis there was no
proposition which received more cor
dial support than the resolution urging
upon congress the necessity for adopt
ing some sort of bankrupt legislation.
The outline of a bill was prepared and
Endorsed which incorporates the prin-
ciples of the LOWELL bill. The Ma
tianal Board of Trade, at its recent
meeting in Louisville, likewise adopted
a resolution recommending the passage
of q national bankrupt law. The action
OF these two commercial conventions is
all the more significant because the
Western membeTSOf congress have here
tofOre opposed all bankrupt legislation
on the ground that it was not approved
by the mercantile classes in the West.
Now that the two leading commercial
bodies of our Western country have
spoken 50 emphatically in favor of the
measure, there will probably be no fur
ther opposition to the passage Of a ma
tional bankrupt law. The defects of
the old bankrupt law are mainly respon-
sible for the sentiment that exists
against future bankrupt legislation.
The LOWELL bill, however, proposes to
remedy all the defects of the old law,
and its provisions are intended to pro-
tect the honest merchant. to punish the
dishonest ones, and to provide for a
prompt and equitable distribution of the
assets. 1t provides for the minimum
number of officials in connection with
the bankrupt courts, and also pro-
Nides that the expenses in bank
rupt cases shall be paid out
of the United States treasury
from a fund derived from a small per-
centage fee collected from the estates
The justice of an equitable bankrupt
law fairly enforced has never been de-
MED. The ground of complaint hereto
fore has been the opportunities afforded
the dishonest for defrauding their cred
itOrs. National sentiment will soon be
unified in support of any bill which pro-
poses to remove the opportunities for
raScality. If debtor has praetieed no
dishonesty in contracting his debts, and
suTrenders all his property in good
faith, ne should be discharged from his
abilities and given a chance to start in
business once more. No good can be
accomplished by keeping him forever a
commercial Outcast without a chance
of regeneration. There ought to be
some way by which he can get a new
start in life and an opportunity to re-
cover his proSnerity. And there can be
no better way than by the establish
Hent of a uniform and equitable bank
rupt system.

YESTERDAYS ELECTIONS.

The election returns this morning are
somewhat indefinite, yet they are clear
enough to indicate that it IS practically
the old story of the Dutch taking HOl-
land. The Democrats have carried the
Democratic states and the Republicans
claim victories in the Republican states.
And yet there has beenanawful shrink
age of Republican majOrities in some of
their strOnghOldS. Hamilton county,
the home of FoRAKER, repudiate5its
once favorite son by majority of 6,OOO
against him. The Democrats have
made a great inrOad on the Republican
vote in Iowa, and it is barely possible
that the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor may be elected. Praise the Lord,
MALONE is showed so deep under Vir-
GINA ballots that there is no reSurrec-
ton for him. New York is the same old
seven and six with its 10000 Demo
cratic majority in the metropolis and
safely 10000 in the state. Pennsylvania
is sill Joined 70 its protection Idol and
elects the Republican state ticket by
the usual majority. Mississippi is just
The other way, and is practically unani-
NOUS for free trade and sailors rights.
The elections in the other states were
embarrassing. and the poll was the
usual off year vote. Upon the whole,
taking the Ohio and Iowa votes into
consideration, the Democrats have all
the advantage of yesterdays election.
while the man in the White house is
doubtless wondering why the American
paOple do not enthuse more over his
administration of national affairs.

GALE IN THE GULF.
Several Vessels Collide and Foun-
der in Galveston Harbor.

GALVESTON, Tex, Nov. 5. - The
weather for the past two days has been
threatening. With the rising of the sun
this morning, stiff gale from the east
and northeast and rapidly increased in
velocity until it reached maximum of
fifty miles an hour. During the height
of the gale the British barks Roma and
Cordelia. meored side by side at Kuhn'S
wharf, parted their hawsers and
were driven up the channel. The
Cordelia collided with the schooner

wharf. carrying away her bOwSprit and
the spanker boom of the City of Jack

could be further damaged she was got
under control and made fast. The bark
Roma drifted into the channel, let go
her anchors and is still holding On.
Abor1t the same time the barge Lee,
laden with 1874 sacks of oil cake, lying
alongside the British steamer Ethelburg
at the new wharf, foundefed. This
evening a charcoal Slo0p was noticed

city can find no fault with the council for
their generosity; and, in fact, if the ap-

ell would have been sustained in its
action. There will be a convention of
the National Builders association in

doubt but that the carnival will be as
great success this year as it has been
in former years. The weather, too, is
