BUSINESS NOTICE. wards relieving them of burden of taxation rdsutt and kindrod sports, and exceedingly feeble on ST. PATRICK'S DAY. OUK ALBANY CORRESPONDENCE. (gCRIMSHAW PAVEMEHT COMPANY.

OFFICE NO. 16COURT STREET, (Phenix Insurance Building.) BROOKLYN, N. Y. Erie stock holders, as for Mr. Low to seriously nssort that beoause he respects himself and his colleagues, and they all respect him, and eaoh respects the rest, therefore nobody else has any business to complain that park improvement thus far has been made to cost something like the price of patent pavement per square yard.

Mr. Low's epigram, as suoh, is neat and well turned the sentiment is true, in one sense that is, an intelligent man, who really respects himself, can have done nothing to render him unworthy the respect of others. But the weak point in this remark as a test, or defence, of public' conduct, is that the public whose business it is to judge their servants cannot know whether the offloial does really respect himself therefore his claiming to have self respect has nothing to. do with, their claim to judge his offloial career, independently of his opinion of it or of himself. Besides, a man may err by being negligent or stupid, and yet be a most well meaning and self respecting person.

There is no man so liable to do mischief as he who is a fool yet don't know that he is. With the best intentions and the utmost self respect, such a man may be led unconsciously astray. Mr. Low is a man of conspicuous mark in the city. Behind his name and famo, worse men may shelter, and, endorsed by his reputation, most erroneous ideas may pass current.

This is why wo deem it necessary to repudiato and rebuke the idea that a public man owes it to the general public not to seek to acquiro their respect, but only his own and that of his immediate associates. There is no man in a Congressional railroad and land jobbing ring, or in a whiiky ring, or a revenue blackmail ring, or any other vile fraternity, that is not considered by the rest, as he considers each of them, a good follow. A man's having a poor opinion of himself, or his immediate colleagues and associates having a poor opinion of him, is much rarer, than a body of officials erring by negligence, by being deceived, or by any other of the modes of mischief open to public men. Mr. Low's test of good conduct for public officials, therefore, will not bear examination, and must not be adopted in this city.

He himself, much less smaller men, cannot bo allowed to stand on such untenable ground. I wo find, for instance, Mr. Low and Mr. Opdyke the leading members of tho Chamber of Commerce; the Chamber petitioning tho Legislature for a million dollars and a halt appropriation of public money for the New York and Oswego Railroad; and Mr. Low aud Mr.

Opdyke forminp; two out of the three trustees of the some railroad no amount of self respect on the part of Mr. Low, or respect of Mr. Opdyke for his associato in the Chamber and in the Railroad trust, can persuade the public, under such circumstances, that the petition should have the ordinary weight of a disinterested appeal of the Chamber of Commorce, upon a subject on which, by the fact of its pa titionii its members impliedly pledge themselves to fho Legislature that thoy are not personally interested, but look only from the general commercial standpoint. It may seem a paradox, but the public can better afford to have any kind of man in public life than the intensely respectable, solf respect iug personage stands so high up and august in attitude, that whatever he does, you must not question and dare not cavil. Had the Park Commission been less respectable, it might have spent some millions less money.

Had the Board of Education been le33 respectable, it would have bought cheap supplies by contract years before, instead of dear ones by favoritism. If the Union Ferry Company were less respectable, ferriage would be one cent. The respectable men who travel on their wealth and character can do things without suspicion, that a scalawag politician of the ordinary kind would be afraid of being lynched for. Everybody watches the poor scalawag. Mon rub then: eyes and look again, and say, "well, it cannot be so, though it looks so," when the magnificently audacious jobs of tho public man of unimpeachable reputation pass in review on (he stage of public events.

To read Mr. Low's grandiloquently indifferent allusion to the local press, who would have supposed that he was till recently, with one ex SATCIR DAY EVENING, MARCH 12. TMa paper baa tfae Largest Circulation of any livening: paper publisncd in the United States. Its value as an Advertising medium I therefore ap parent. Yhc Fifteenth Amendment and its Con sequences.

The President is about to issuo a proclamation announcing the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment. He intends to enumerate among the States which have ratified, New Yoik, Indiana and Ohio, and, of course, Virginia, Texas, Mississippi and Georgia, the cases in which ratifications haTe been coerced by Congress. The formal proclamation is announced to be already prepared. The intention of the Executive to include New York, Indinna and Ohio is specially put forth. This special announcement arises out of the peculiar circumstances Surrounding the action of these States.

It will he remembered that Now York ratified and rescinded the ratification, that Ohio rejected and rescinded tho rejection, and that less than a legal quotum of the Legislature of Indiana took part in the proceedings which were certified to Jiavo been a ratification. These circumstances, United to the lact that the four other ratifications mentioned, wore coerced, hamper the whole subject with grave technical issues. Tho President forbears to publish his proclamation until both Texas and the two sfill excluded States, are declared by Congress to be entitled to representation. He holds, or his advisers hold, that the passage of such resolution is required to validate tho action these States. Tho proclamation will at once follow tho passage of such a resolution.

The Republicans hopo the official proclamation may be out, by tho 20th of this mouth. If it is, the amendment will be made to operate in the Connecticut election on the 12th of next April. As a matter of fact, it must be borne in mind that there are two legal objections, at least, which can be raised concerning the validity of this ratification. No legal determination has yet been made in this country of tho powor of a Stato to rescind a ratification. Messrs.

Googe Ticknor Curti3, Charles O'Conor aud Heverdy Johnson are on record to the eftect that a Stato has right so to rescind, their opinions being solicited in the case of New Jersey's action upon the fourteenth amendment. Those opinious, were, however, more eminent than authoritative. It is only pertinent to note that they have not boon successfully combatted. Nevertheless, the mattor has yet to be judicially decided. The next legal objection is that Congress has no right to coerce a ratification of any pending amendment from any States, as a condition precedent to their admission.

Congress has decided otherwise. Judge Trumbull, Judge Edmunds, Senator Conkliug, Senator Carpenter Judge Bingham, Judge Davis, and other Republican Congressmen deny any such right whicha majority of their colleagues have affirmed. These gentlemen comprise the jurists of the Republican party in Congress. That body, however, is not the one to pass upon such a matter. It belongs to the Supreme Court, and along with it are involved many of the gravest questions of the whole system of reconstruction.

The hesitancy of that tribunal trad the sharp practice of tho majority in Congress have availed to keep this and all tantamount subjects out of Court. That they can be kept out forever is impossible, except on the presumption of the Court's deciding it has no jurisdiction, or on the hypothesis that Con gress will tin up the Court from proceeding therein. If the question ever should be iu Court, the certainty of a decision, in process of time, against these exactions is conceded. It is gravely probable, however, that such a decision would come too late forpractical good. Upon this eour.jO progress would bo very slow.

Proceeding on the hypothesis that a way will be studied whereby to compel a decision on the whole matter, tho speediest method reveals it sels to be the making up of a case within some Slate, say in Now York. This would be done hy a motion to enjoin Inspectors of Election from proceeding on the amendment's provisions in tho case of colored citizens. So far as one State is concerned, it is possible that, after this manner, a decision could be ultimately reached iu tho United States Supreme Caurt, a commonwealth being only a preferred party. All this is suggested on the presumption that the Democratic party will care to take the pains to oppose tho amendment ho the last. Such a business could not be entered into without tho consent of tho leaders of the party throughout tho nation.

There is much to be said on both hides, and a great deal will depend upon what construction Congress will make of the enabling clause of the amendment. If Congress proposes thereunder to ran the elections in the States, we apprehend thai such a course would bo at once, and finally, successfully resisted. If the amendment bo allowed to execute itself as others do, then the comparison of loss and gain would enter largely into the question of whether or not to oppose its operation. There are sensa tioniil Di itiocmts who advocate, not merely an acceptance, but an endorsement of tho amendment. The arc others, sensible statesmen, like Mr.

Kendrickr, in favor of making tho best of it, without fruitless opposition. There are others who would oppose it to the end. There A CROSS HUSBAND. Mrf. Smith The fact is, my huabnnd is beooming so out rageouflly orosa and nervons that thero is no living with him.

THE BOOK CONCERN. Tho religious nowspapers' reviews of tho Book Committee's report continue to be frequont, spirited, and a times bitter. The official organs of tho churoh alone, entire secular and religious pross, make, any attempt to excuse tho Committee. The Christian Advocate, however, grows more and more voluminous iu de fence of the report.

This week it prints an article threo columns long, and as it is marked "continued" it is impossible to say how much is still to come. When the Advocate charges the secular Journals with being influenced by "blask mail" and deriving thoir "inspiration from the same source," it develops tho weakness of its and records its own imbecile absurdity. Was it "black mail," or what sort of "Inspiration," that moved Advocate to defend a whitewashing report which no Congressional or LegiBlativo body, hardly any political caucus, would venture to put forth, and which ouiy tho hired editors of the Book Concern approve? st.

RELIGION AND POLITIGS is tho subject of a long artielo in the Tablet. It holds that tho common expression', My religion has nothing to do with my politics," is right or wrong, according to tho Bt nse iu which it is used They who uso it may only moan by it, that thoy uever in voting aak whetiicr the candidate is a Catholic or not. It may often happen that tho person most fit for the offlco is not a Catholic; but his not being a Cathjlio is no sufficient reason why a Catholic should not vote for him. But those who uso the expression, My politics aro independent of my religion;" that is, that tho political order is independent of the religious or spiritual order. In this sense no Catholic can use it.

It supports this objection by several arguments and illustrations, and also holds that the increasing corruption in public affairs is largely tho result of the divorce of politics ond religion. It adds Wo do not admit that Catholic fpoliticians arc any worse than others but we fear that they aro not much bettor, that they do not act from higher or purer motives, or on broader or sounder principles of statesmanship. Wo do not seo that Catholic constituencies send abler statesmen, or more disinterested politicians to CongreBS or tho State Legislature than do non Catholic constituencies, or that tho Catholio wire pullers and party managers are a whit superior to their non Catholic associates.

In the British House ol uommona yeawmay Mr Otway, Undor Secretary for the Departmout of For gn Affairs, informed tho Houae that the difficulty be tween tho United Btatcs aud Great Britain in regard to the water boundaries of their roapcctlvo territories ia North America bad been ref erred to arbitrators, to to Gladstone, Bright, and gonoral European politics, It is aliko unfair to him and to readers to tako him from work ho does well and sot hirn at work ho does surpassingly ill. As for C. of Paris, a lottor from him to day on skating and pictures ia bo good it can only be regretted that lie is ever diverted from such congenial topics to vague speculations on tho political future of Prance, to platitudes about liberty and tho rights of man, and to solemn, gratuitous, and wholly unheeded remonstrance with and counseling of the Emperor Napoloon HI. Major General W.

S. Hancock in forwarding Colonel Baker's report of tho Piogan affair says "it is due to Colonel Baker and all concerned that these reports bo promptly published." If this moans that tho report will excuse or' palliate the massacre Gonoral Hancock mistakes, as it does nothing of the bind. On its own showing every man in tho camp was and the prisoners were all women and children. Baker does not say that any women and children wero slaughtered, but tho statements that thoy wore are denied by neither him nor Genoral Hancock. Tho latter was advised of tho statements bocauso he diroctly refors to thorn, and ho says, "it was supposed that tne warriors belonging to those camps wero all present," and "if thoy wero not" it was not known "until tho attack ondod." If this means anything it moans that our bravo soldiers butchered not warriors but women and children, and that thoy did not take tho trouble to note tho difference until thoy had tired of tho bloody business.

Aud General Hancock and Gonoral Sheridan and Gonoral Sherman attempt to excuse this brutality. Baker naively says that tho captivo women and children "wore allowed to go free, as it was ascertained that some of them had tho Bniall pox." Tho inference is fair that but for tho presence of the contagious diseaso they too would havo been killed. Tho Bmall pox is moro friendly to tho Indians than their "paternal govcmniont." COREY O'LANUS' EPISTLE. Who Gold BccJinc Mow it Afffocts TTSiiMgiS Specie jPymejit Who Wrote "Shoo Evidences oS the Authorship. Deak Eagle Gold is down and is going downer every day till it touches bottom.

Isn't it jolly. Tho good times that liuvo boon coming ever so long trc about to come specio payments will be resumed, andwc shall bo gay and happy still. lhcn gold comes down everything olse ought to como down. Having read this in the newspapers so often I boliiv el it. But gold has come down and other things havou't.

Mrp. O'Lunus says it costs just as much for a wnrl of groceries now as ever it did. While moat is not a eont lower, and you only get eight Long Island eggs for twenty five contn. are you going to do about it? When CVngrcKs gets through re reconslructin ail tho Slates, and JCullor gets through singing "Shoo Fly" perhaps they will reconstruct the grocer, butcher, tailor, baker, mid the rest, bo that thoy will harinouizo with the gold market. Everybody should watch tho market quotations and see how they corresioud with tho retail trade.

It is some satisfaction to read that flour is weak butter, strong; lard, Jinn; cheese, lively; nork, rising; pig lead, heavy kerosene, going up; whisky, unsteady. This gives you an accurate idea of the prices if you only understand it. Which 1 don't. I havo argued the case with my bntchor, but cau't make him see the close relationship between the price of steaks and tho premium on gold. His theory is that moat is dear because cattlo cost bo much.

He says tho Bulls may bo pretty low now iu Wall street, but they are just as high as ever in the cattle market. I supposo that is becauso thoro are no bears there. No more satisfaction was to bo obtained from the grocer, who insisted that "dings 'was Bhust as high as dey used to was." Tho efforts of enterprising aud enlightened saloon, keepers to restore specie to circulation aro truly patriotic It is something to take your drinks on a specie basis tliGiigh it be only two Bhilliugs on tho dollar. Some of the druggists have taken to specie also, so that if a man don't care for ono kind of poi3on ho can try another, and still keep to bullion. You recollect what a discussion we had about tho authorship of tho "Exile of Erin," which had so long been credited to the poet Campbell, but is now generally understood to havo been written by ex Atderinau Teruau I have been called upon by a gentlomau of litorary tastes and rcscarcji, to do justico to a Brooklyn pact und sot at rest any voxud question of authorship which might hereafter arise.

You havo perhaps heard, or heard of, a very popular melody of the period, called "shoo fly, don't bodder me." It is sung by tho American youth on tho streets by young ladies on the piano it has superseded "Wo won't home till morning" with young gentlemon who war bio their way homo at ono o'clock A. M. It is introduced in every Miustrol show, in ono of our churches, and has been given on tho floor of Congress the Hon. lien Bntler with much applause. The author of a work of such merit and popularity ought not to remain unrecognized and unknown, mere because he ia too modest to diseloso himself.

A gentleman of literary tastes and research has fur me with evidence that makes good the chlin of a poet nol altogether to fame unknown. The honor of claiming the author of "Shoo fly" belongs to Brooklyn. The presumptive author is no less a porsonige than THEODORE TILTON. You have read Tiltuu's poetical works, of course. Everybody has.

And you must remember those touching lines to an inlanl, "Baby bye, see a fly, Let us catch him, You and Theodore went for the fly, but the fly didn't see it aud got away. The fly got mad and kept buzzing round Theodore's nose, which tickled Theodore, aud his efforts to drive the fly off tickled the baby, so thoy 'were all three amused. Theodore gct'ibg vexed exclaimed, "Shoo Fly don't bodder me." Which made the baby laufili more, so ThooJore kepi on repealing it, aud being iu a poetical vein, made a ibymc of it. ''Shoo Fly, don't bodder me, For I'm the poet Theodore The baby was tickled to death, aud Theodore kept ringing away till tho baby wont to sleep. Dropping tho infant softly on tho sofa, Thcodoro looked rouud for the fly aud saw him quietly reposing ou the ceiling, and being in frisky humor tried to kick him off.

It happened that Mr. Hooloy was passing the house at the time, aud hearing a strange song he stoppsd to listen, being always on the lookout for novelties. Ho drank in tho words aud melody, and seeing The odore's heels ilvin" up in tho air, thought that was a sort of can can to wind up with. Hooley rushed off to his Opera House just iu time to catch tho boyB at rehearsal. "I feel, I feel, I feci, I feet liko a morning star," said he, rushing upon the stago, "I've got a big thing, a bran new, original novelty.

Let somebody tako it down and score the music, this is it 'Shoo fly, don't bodder me, Shoo fly, don't bodder mo, Shoo fly, don't bodder me." "Well," said Cool, "What's the rest?" "I'm scattered, if I haven't forgot tho other line. Let's see, it began 'for I'm' something another what rhymes with me?" Somebody suggested B. what?" Company B. "That's it," eaid Hooloy, "for I belong to Company "Now what is the other part." "What other part?" "Why, thoro muat bo two parts to a song, 'Shoo Fly is only a chorus." Hooley scratchod his head and tried to tlrink, but couldn't make it out. To jog hi3 memory, White told him what he had said when he camo in "I fool liko a morning Btar." "Shouldn't wonder if that wac it," said E.

M. H. 'It'll do anyhow just fix it up, and wind up oach verao with a can can." Suck was tho fate of THlon'B impromptu gom. Tin's evidence furnished by tho gentleman of literary tastes and research I submit to a discriminating public to puss their verdict upon. Let ub have no moro mysteries in tho literary world It is duo to Mr.

Hooley to say that he puts in no claim to tho authorship of "Shoo Fly." He iB satisfied with having mado thrco ortunos out ot it, one of which ho is giving away in jowelry to his audiences, investing the other two in brown stono fronts. If T. T. iB really tho author of "Shoo Fly," ana it must be admitted that there is strong evidence of his published workB, ho ought at least to have the credit, if others havo tho cash.

In all cases of ro pavement the said Board shall proceed according to the provisions of this act." See. Whonevcr the said CommiBSiouors shall doom necessary to altor or chango tho plan of drainage in auv district whore the same has been established as the pt imaucut plan of sowerago in such district, it shall bo lawful for tho said Commissioners to prepare a plan of such proposed alteration and ohunge.

Wo append tho following testimonials to its merits; Extract from Brooklyn Park Commissionera' i teport, Jau uary 1, 1870. Tho Bpccimon of drivo laid by tho Scrimhaw 'out Con crete Company, in tbo fall of 1867, has steadily 1 iproved since its construction.

During tho year it has hi 1 no re pairs, and no oxpenso has boen put upon it, oxcept fc swuap off tho dust and mud brought on it by carriages in. 11 tbo adjacent gravel roads. It is at the present timo in pt rfect order. Later in the season, a samplo of Hid Haider Patent Ol i crcto Pavemont was laid on tho drivo. This also uromijo uoli; but timo and tho elements must doci io the morita ot this or of the Scharf Pavement.

Tho samnlo of t'ao Fiski Concrete laid in 1867 was alnio3t entirely last' season, and during tha past Sammer'thc patentees, at their own cost, resurfaced it; but before tin season was over it bad again gone to piocas. For walks, it answers a better purpose but, oven for walks, tho siqnsofailirro aro at this timo becoming ovidont. Tbo di'interation com mences at the bottom and gradually comes to the surface.

John AnnoiT, Miyor. Extract from a letter from Mr. Rabbins I had laid on Diamond st, Flatbush, square foot of tho Scrimshaw pavement, whioh was complotod Auust 1868. I consider it a oomplotc success, adding very much to tbevaluoof the surrounding property, and miklns; roddy sale for all lots on tho street, as far as tho pavomont extends, at a largo advance over property in adjoining stroots, besides being considcrod ono of the finest streots in Kings Couniy.

S. ROBBLXS, 410 Broadway, N. Y. The Lowell Courier, July nth, 1338, says: "Wo boliovo this pavemont is far preferable to hrick or stono for sidewalks or pavements, and we think tho City Council has dono very wisely in (firiiiR tho concrete tho preference." Extract from tho last Report of tho Trustees of Groonwood Conictory. Iu their Report for tho yo.ir 1303, tho Trustoos stalod (hat a portion of tho paths of tho C2ln3tcrj hid boon laid with tho "Scrimshaw Concret 3 Pavoaient," with tho view test its desirability for general mi in Greenwood.

Tho lenirth of the paths then covered feet, an 1 he superficial measurem2Ut was 28,225 feet. Tlu result of bo trial wasso satisfactory as to induce its uss last year quite extensively. It was applied, with fc excretions, ail tho paths, comraoncing at tho boundaryof thi Cemetery, reaching no.n Iy or quito to iis contra. Tho whole extent of paths (bus utvpiovoii, iniu Jins thos3 I.iil in 1SC3, measures lineal feet, or more than soven and a miartor uiilos in length, embracio, a superficial area of 30,019 foet. Among the considerations which comniond th uss cf this pavomont are, its entire freedom from dust, mud, wot anj woods; its durability, not requiring, probably, ropairs for manyyears, and consequent economy.

Independently, therof oro, of tho improved appearance which it imparts to tho grounds wuoro it is laid, end the comfort of those who mo it, it cannot ha doubted that tho essential interests of the Cainotcry will be uroiuot i by applying it to all tho paths. mhl2 tf A SUPERIOR SOPRANO KINGER POR a church in thi3 city wonted.

Sil vor given In ohanse, at BiQJjMPS'TlOl Fulton avo, Pj poMteHoytBt, ception, the most influential owner and controller of a "local organ," and if we mistake not is deeply interested still in New York newspapor proprietorship. He is an able man, and a very eminent man, not merely as a capitalist, but a thinker, writer and speaker; but when ho comes on the stage as a public man, ho should pitch his tone a little lower than that of Wed both as regards the public whom he lHuc rlakos to serve, and the press whose busi ness ami ngnt it is to criticise uis puoue action. The report that Charles Dickens' interview ii yucen naa in view a uaronercy or peerage is contradicted. Her Majesty merely wished to make the acquaintance of the distinguished author. So Dickens remains plain Charle Dickens still.

From one point of view this is to be regretted. Dickens introduced nior.g the aristocracy as Lord Nozoo would hiivo a new field of observation open to him. He Las fo far confined bis literary efforts to illustrations of humbler life, and but chanty in troduced a titled personage here and there in bis novels. His later works indicate that Dickens is nearly written out, having exhausted is range of subjects. Aristocratic life would be a fresh field and pasture new for "Dickens, who writes from observation.

A novel of aristocratic life written from his own obf ervations would be a novelty to his readers. Her Majesty might think of this and give Dickens the chance to win new literary laurels, by elevating him to the peerage as Baron Boz ofGadahill. Tho Baltimore Conference has protested against tho majority report of tho Book Committoo on the Book Concern case and approved tho minority report. In this it has adopted the view of the entire press of tho country, excepting tho official organs of the Concern. Yet the Christian Advocate has tho effrontery to say that tho secular journals have been movod by a desiro to levy "black mail" or by other unworthy influences in exposing the whitewashing process.

The example of tho Congress of tho United States in interfering with military leaders during the late war has been imitated by tho Congress of the Republic of Cuba. Tho latter body thought General Quesada assumed too much power and nourished a dictatorial ambition. A quarrel was tho result and Quesada submitted his resignation. Tho Congress in Cuba loss indulgont than the Congress at Washington toward cadet ship brokers refused to accopt it and doposed tho General. The prosont status of Quesada pre sents interesting quostion.s Has ho authority to make war on tho American Administration with a view of recognition? Bid tho female junta at tho Federal Capital mistake in offoring him an ovation? And is tho Cuban Republic to be divided into factions? To dayil iu announced that tho N.

Y. Young Men's Cluintian Association will bold a Bocial meeting in their new hall. Yesterday tho New York Times printed an alarming report that said hull was in an imminently dangerous condition, that tho beams of the gallery had cracked under tho pressure of tho crowd therein, that through tho shrinkage or straining of the walls window panes bad been shattorcd, and that other unsafe signs wero apparent. Either tho panic paragraph should be officially and satisfactorily contradicted or social meetings should be dispensed with until an architectural reconstruction shall bo accom plished. Graco Greenwood is ono of tho most entertaining of the hoBt of Wasliington correspondents with whoso lotters the Federal mails daily groan.

She luts fairly, and somotimos sharply, with graceful indifferanco whether tho head bo Republican, or Democratic. Unliko tho avorage writer at tho Capital, she does not assume complete and absolute knowledge of all things. Tho frankness with which she confesses her ignorance of somo matters, and hor distaste for othera, will command nido sympathy. For oxamplo, sho admits that tho financial talk of Congress is as unintelligible to her as Choctaw. To whom is it not Certainly, finance can hardly bo accepted as anything liko an exact scienco when tho two Iiouhos differ from oach other, and neither Democrata nor Republicans agree among themselves on hardly any minor detail.

During tho war hardly any man iu the Confederacy aroused tho Tribune and its roadorsto moro vigorous wrath and livolior contempt than Edward A. Pollard. To day ho has tho run of tho Tribune to answorhis own question, "Who killod tho Confederacy and earns tho privilege by hearty abuse of Davis, Memminger, Wise, and others of hia associates in secession. Tho most pronounced op ponents of tho Southern loadors will at least con cede that since thoir defeat thoy havo observed a a dignified silence and directed thoir atteution to thoir own business with commeudablo Cdolity viilucs of reticouce and. reserve which Pollard habitually escapes.

The Tribune's foreign correspondence oKovb staking evidence of tho importance, in journalism as in war, of putting each man iu tho right place and keoping. him there. For oxamplo, G. VY. of London, ia vory strong on boat raooa go by ly are even Southern Democrats now warmly hi favor of black suffrage, which thoy hail as the lever to pry out of power the bad men in rule over thein.

All these views are entitled to be, and will be, heard. Meantime it is practical to remember that this amendment only increases, not changes the bent of the suffrage. The negroes South are becoming Democrats en masse. By the end of this decade only a miserly minority of them will train with the Republicans. Moreover, it is entirely in order for the Democracy to take advantage of the amendment, to the principle and to the equivacal adoption of which the party is opposed.

The innovation has been staved off so long that its success is the success of the organization which combatted its estab lishment. A Democratic success throughout the country, too, seems to be among the certainties before long. Such a success attained whl be continued, and with that party tho interpreters and executors of power, not only can a Convention of the States equalize and "justify' matters, but the country will be saved the ruin which rested in the intentions of those who have projected the unconstitutional proceedings of tho last nine years. Mr. align TTone.

It is certain that the newspapers too lightly and indiscriminately criticise public officials, and by confounding tho conscientious with the dishonest in one general blume, do much to exclude good men from public life, and to make weak men consent to do wrong, feeling that if they did better they would get no less discredit. But, for all that, it is also certain that the blame and abuse are often deserved, and that the best of public men, equally with the worst, are but tiusteos acting for the general public, and needing to be strictly watched, and holding their public office and powor on tho condition that they will consent to rigid investigation and even captious criticism. "VYhon, thereforo, a public official tells those whose money he has been helping to spend, "I am satisfied I did right, and therefore you are bound to be," he takes altogether too high ground. The people cannot afford to have not even for President of the United States, much less for Park maker of Brooklyn any gentleman so high minded that ho is insensible and defiant of anybody's opinions but his own. In tho Park meeting on Wednesday, some of the speakers, with Bcant fairness toward that portion of the advocates of the sale who support it for the reason that the immensity of the outlay on tho rest of the Park is what has made this sale necessary, undertook to laud the Park Com.

mission, as well as to advocate their one meas ure of economy, the sale of thm land. It is not what was said of them by others. but what one of themselves said of himself and colleagues, that demands attention, as having laid down a now test rule of conduct for public men. Said Mr. A.

A. Low I wish to aay one word about the Park Commission. Ab one of these ConimiBsionera I know little of what haa been eaid against their character, for I have not studied out the local organs, to find whether things complimentary or otherwise have been Haul. I know that they have been arraigned as they should not have teen before the community, but my own fceliug on that matter iij, that so long as they can retain their own pelf reapect, they will be able to meet tho commendation of all whose respect is worth anything, aud of Which thoy should want to bo worthy. It would be just as illogical for Messrs.

Fisk and Gould to plead their self respect and mutual respect against the dissatisfaction of the.
