There are two cheap methods of inclos-

that will prove sufficient protection to the

other is to set studding between the sills
and bed pieces, which may be laid down
and then clap-board up the sides. or board
up plain and batten the cracks. This last
plan is. in my opinion. better than bank
ing, as IL does not create the liability to
rot the sills that the former possesses, un-
less good deal Of care Is exercised in
banking. Every farmer knows best his

You have often seen men engaged in
dispute, who had no argument to bear them
out. We meet such men every day. They
are to be encountered in all walks of life.
But in leading topics, they are always the
most conspicuous, though not the most
prominent and important actors. In the
desperate situation Of a lack Of reason in
argument, their scruples upon lieing are
as flexible as rubber, and their aptness at
it is only equalled by the reputation that
Tom Pepper bore for this unenviable fail
ing. We are reminded Of this by the ac-
tions of Zachariah Chandler and others who
are running the Republican party in this
campaign. They have never from the first
used argument, but have invented the most
infamous lies aud blasphemy against the
candidates of the Democratic party. The
last address issued by the chairman of the
National Republican Committee, Zach
Chandler, is the last growl Of fight the par
ty shows before the election, it is the last
parry before the final blows are struck. 1t
froths with the rage Of disappointment in
every sentence. 1t is the dying serpent
splitting its vennom on all objects around
it. The South, the Democratic party and
the candidates all are denounced in the
impotent rage Of Republicanisms last ex.


piring truth. We are truly sorry for Zach


Chandler and the Republican party, that
this fend Of Rebellion, the Democratic


party, is coming into power again, but we
cannot help it, it seems to be the wish OF
the majority Of forty-millions of people, land
according to the constitution they are the
ones who have the say about it. They seem
to have ordered that the bayonet shall be


un6xed and put in its scabbard, and that
the sword shall be sheathed, and there is
no doubt about that being the order OF


command when the next Presidential in
auouration takes rlace.

NOTHING could be mere brutal, than the
recital of the witnesses in the prize fight
er's trial, shows that occurrence to have
been. The dead fighter was led by two
men to his antagonist to be knocked down
again and again. Nearly dead the last
time he could only raise his partly closed
hands above his waist and his antagonist
with both fists even then beat him unmerci-
fully, and one witness states, that the last
blow knocked him twelve inches in the
air and back distance Of six feet. The
brute who did this work is now on trial
and hopes for liberty, and even if we were
opposed to capital punishment we coult
not say that the halter would draw any to,
lightly around the neck of this man, ant
that punishment as severe would be tot
much for those who held poor Roster u

The closing Of the menagerie in Central
Park and the suspension of all the employees
in the Park Department, with the exception
of eight, is an extraordinary measure, and
what President Martin has to say for himself
in the matter is printed elsewhere He lays
the blame upon the Board of Apportion-
ment and mainly upon Mayor Wickham,
whom he accuses of bad faith. The situa-
ton is this A certain amount was appro-
priated for the department, with certain
amounts for specified works. The Park
President claims that these sums were
either in excess or below the amounts
absolutely needed, and that an under
standing was had with the Board
of Apportionment that the department
would be allowed to transfer unexpended
balances to the accounts that were short.
Hence, the department went on spending
money on its own scale, and now finds its
treasury, by the Mayors refusal, empty of
funds for the most needed work. There is a
mixture Of bad management and bad faith
in this business which demands the fullest
explanation. The Mayor is not wise man
and he may be the tool Of somebody wishing
to put the department in bad light,
but this sudden and theatrical shutting off
of the service and letting Everything 90 to
the devil" has its weak spots AS President
Martin says, the damage done by neglect
will cost an immense sum to repair. But
whose fault is it that things are brought to
this disgraceful pass? What warrant had
the department for living above its means ?
If.there has been fragrant bad management
or spiteful bad faith let us know We
want to hear from both sides.

There is something ludicrous in the fact
that Tweed and his companion and their
luggage should all have been receipted for
by Captain Franklin as if they were SO much
merchandise--''two men and six valises'-
but the incident has serious as well as an
absurd aspect In the day of his power
Tweed was autocrat of the third city in the
world in size and Importance No monarch
ever ruled with more absolute sway or
despoiled his subjects with less fear of the
consequences. Even men as eminent as
Horatio Seymour and Samuel ]. Tilden
could not oppose this man in safety until
his power was undermined and his own acts
had furnished the weapons of his destruc-
ton. Men like Brooks and Wood and Cox
assent In this city the will of the people
was merely the echo of his own. But he fell
as corrupt men always fall, and became first
a convict, then a fugitive. His flight was to
lands where extradition treaties are un-
known; but he found that in countries where
a murderer like Sharkey could find protec-
tion there was no asylum for him. Fleeing
from Ludlow Street Jail to Cuba and from
Cuba to Spain he reached the end Of long
and toilsome journey only to retrace his
voyage as part of 1.-TWO men and six valises."
At any hour he may arrive to take up his old
quarters in the prison in Ludlow street and
await his release through the slow and
tedious processes Of the law. He is scarcely
wanted now that he is coming, but his re-
turn is none the less q warning to corrupt
public servants of the woes which await
official corruption. This man, once SO power
ful and regarded as impregnable in his place
at the head Of Tammany Hall, is not only
ruined in his name and his fortunes, but
there is no place of refuge left to him, and
he is dealt with as o man who has no longer
any rights left which even foreign Power
will respect. A few more such examples as
Tweed has been would cure the evils of
political corruption in this country and force
public men to be honest from fear Of punish
ment, if from no higher motive.

The magnificent project which Mr..
Maurice Strakosch has formulated Of erect
ing temple for opera worthy of the metrop-
oils of the New World and second in seat
ing capacity to none in the Old World de-
serves the heartiest recognition. The site he
has fixed upon is admirable. It is the heart
Of the city as it is and will be. In the
future, when the great projects for the i'm
provement of the Harlem River and the
water approaches by the Sound have borne
their fruit in creating vast commercial in
terest along the north as along the south,
the aesthetic centre will become permanently
crystallized where it at present is mere
indicated point-namely, above Twenty
third street and below Thirty fourth, or at
the utmost Forty-second street. A site
fronting on Madison avenue. between
Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh streets,
is we'll within this territory destined to be
the charmed home of art The present
accessibility of the site chosen is proved
by the ease with which immense audiences
gather and disperse from the building now
known as Gilmores Garden. The ground
is the property of Commodore Vanderbilt,
and the intention to devote the structure
it is projected to build thereon to the SER
vice of the divine art of music suggests that
no more enduring monument could be
planned to perpetuate the public spirit and
wholesome philanthropy Of such man than
the donation of this site. In America we
ask more boldly of our great monarchs Of
money than ever favored mobiles in Europe
or Asia asked of their emperors and kings.
To give New York glorious home for
music, where not alone the greatest works
of the best composers of oil nations would
be interpreted in a fitting manner, but
where the art itself would be nurtured in
the persons of the children of our great
Republic who might be fitted to spread the
sweets of harmony throughout the land,
would be monument better than stone or
brass The generosity Of Commodore Van
derbilt adding another usefulness to the
project of Mr.. Strakosch would indelibly
link his name with the fathers of our adj
vancing civilization.

There is no decisive news, but the demo-
Gratis in Florida seem to be SO assured of q
majority for both the State and Presi-
Dental tickets that their Executive Com
mittee has issued congratulatory address.
and prominent Northern republicans are
urgently requested to 60 to Florida
to see for themselves and for the coun-
try. We believe General Francis Barlow
has gone down to Tallahassee. He is an
honest man and the country may safely rely
on his testimony. The republicans, how
ever, are not to be outdone in boasting by
their opponents, and send a counter address,
which lacks figures, but asserts fraud and in
timidation, and declares the State safe for
Hayes. This is signed, among others. by
William E. Chandler, of New Hampshire.
On the whole we prefer General Barlow to
Mr.. Chandler.


In South Carolina the Supreme Court
heard argument yesterday on the protest
against the Returning Board. This peaceful
and lawful appeal of the democrats is the
only pleasing incident in the disagreea-
BILE political muddle, and if these
South Carolinians go on as they have
begun, and confne their opposition
to what they and great part of the North
believe injustice, to measures looking to
legal redress, they will not miss the SYM
pathy of the North, which will be worth
much more to them than even political
victory. The Court will give its decision to-
day. whereupon it may be supposed the Re-
turning Board will begin its work.


In Louisiana the Northern republicans
have, in reply of some length, refused to
confer with the Northern democrats assem-
bled at New Orleans. The Northern public
will regret this step, for much was expected
from such conference of leading
men of both parties. But Of the
republicans who sign the refusal to confer
only one or two are men Of such mark and
independent character as to make their con-
sent, or even their presence in New Orleans,
of Importance. We notice among the sign
ers a considerable number of Ohio politi-
cians, friends of Governor Hayes. Their
address refers the democrats to the strict
letter of the Louisiana law, and omits to say
anything Of the bad character of the men
who are to interpret and execute confessedly
bad law in their own interest. We should
be sorry to believe this represented the
opinions of Governor Hayes. The Return
ing Board has adjourned to Monday next.


1t is not now probable that we shall get
decisive or official news from any of the dis
puted States for week or ten days. The
earliest news is likely to come from Florida.

ment in the public mind here in the North
