A Mow at the root ot the tree is struck by the New York Journal of Commerce in regard to the stupendous swindles practiced on the government through the revenue leakages. It appears that leading merchants of New York make no secret of the fact that they are heavy buyers of goods which have been smugsled into the market without paying the lawful duties. They pll their silks and rich merchandise at low
prices on the open allegation that they are able to because they were obtained duty 1 ree. The Journal arraigns in particular the house oi II. B. Claflla fc Co., who net only admit that they have been large buyers of the smuggled good, but add to the admission the startling assertion that they were advised to make the purchase at so good a bargain by the collecter of the port. When Mr. Claflin
iniormed the custom house authorities oi the ofiYrs made to him of the illicit good?, Instead oi showing disapprobation, they advised him to buy. The question is whether an honest man can became a party to these dishonest transactions and lend his eid and comfort to rascality by purchasing the frul's of its successful work. If he can do that and be a good, law-abiding citizen and an honest man, a member of the church, why
can not another good and hoce&t man make a'lence" of hU 6tor9 and buy stolen goods because be can by so doing sell cheap and keep ahead ol hia competitors in business. It is perfectly astonishing that such log!:: as this should escape public condemnation and the penal statutes of the land. So los as smuggled goods can find respectable sale, a strong encouragement is held out to the operators to continue and enlarge their busi-
nes?,aided,it is to be feared.by the very officers who are Instructed to prevent their dishonest games. If the goods could not be sold at all in the open market, or not sold without peril to the purchaser, it would cut ofl the most tempting inducements to carry on frauds of the revenue on a large scale. The point of the Journal of Commerce is so well taken as to require no argument. If honesty dwelt in the New York custom house, euch things could not be done at all.
blnation. The flaw In the proceeding against Tweed was occasioned by the over-eagernesa of Judge Dav!s to punish him in a degree satisfactory to the popular indignation. To do this the court transgressed the law, passlag a cumulative sentence upon the prisoner, giving him a separate term of imprisonment for each of several counts In the indictment. The judge who is rather more ot a politician than a Jurist won unbounded popularily for some time by his action, but he was not long In losing his fictitous . reputation by a series of
However, his work remained,
and Twoed'a lawyers found It extremely

No single judge dare take the responsibility of releasing the Boss, but after the part of the sentence which was acknowledged to be legal bad been served out, the case was brought before the court ot appeals, as it appears, on an appeal irom a decision refusing to eranta writ of habeus corpus. Tbi3
court is perhaps the ablest body of jurists
in the United States, and probably, as the court of last resort in the chief state of the Union, it has to deal with greater personal business and commercial interests than the Supreme Court itself, although secondary to that body la mntters of constitutional interpretation and international law. There can be no doubt but that the Court of Appeals was Influenced in its action solely by a sense of justice, and did net
hesitate to make a decision which would prove displeasing to the people, when convinced that the law demanded such a decision. The position of the court is pithily expressed in the declaration that reform should not be pursued by illegal means. It is not easy to say whether there will be any attempt to make political capital out of the release ot Tweed or not. One thing is clear. The Tammany ring, is the only set of influential thieves In
the country that has been utterly broken up, scattered and punished. All the members of the band are either in exile or in prison, or employed as witnesses in
the prosecution of their fellows, and Charles O'Conor and his associates, are now actively engaged under the statute passed lait winter in pushing on civil suits, which will restore to the city the money of which Tweed, Connelly and Sweeney plundered it. The Boss himself, though liberated from the operation of an illegal sentence, fis still in the toils.

the latter. When askel who had sent him
he gave evasive answers, appearing to Im
ply tbat the trustees had something to do with his errand. The r resident, however.
Insisted on a direct answer which showed
that he was acting tor the superintendent.
One fact In regard to the politics of the country is very clear, namely, that Senator Morton is now the most influential man in
the republican party, so far as the disposition of official patronage is concerned. It Is not easy to understand whether the Benitor from Indiana has bartered away any of his presidential birth-right for the patronage which he has received, but it is plain that the alliance between him and the executive is camplete. He now occupies the position near the throne, which Conkllrtg held a couple of years ago, and Conkling has sunk belcw the surface of public affairs altogether. Men will soon forget that there ever was such a personage. The Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Times intimates that Morton is thoroughly advised oi how matters are progressing In the capital, even when he is absent from it himself, as he has numbers cf dependents continually on the watch to report possible and probable changes, and nothing important takes place in any of the bureaus or departments without his knowledge. If his presence Is needed, he is always on the ground at once. The Times man glTes

this city quietly last Saturday night
'Kincathat time, that bundle of bull-dog
energy chained to paralytic legs has been 4 closely closeted with those in power, and the result is that Morton has taken the bebt
slice out ol certain new appointments that
to ba made in the Internal revenue
bureau and the Interior department
The Bohemian appears to be struck with the
same idea in regard to the subject of Mor
ton's appearance that prevails at his home:
"Morton has never looked better than on ht i-Bpent visit here. Iiis puz nose has
gone up and assumed a shade more of a de 4 riant twist, while the color in his once sal
low cheeks shows that there Is irood blood vet left in him. He

Upon the box was always perched a darkey In plain clothes. No livery for Morton. He affects, In this city of ostentation and display, the sweet democratic role of the people style." From which It would appear that ambition is a good stimulant. It Is a common saying
among Indiana democrats tbat the hope of
the presidency Is all that keeps Morton alive, and some ol them are vexed to think tbat such a sensible man will persist in indulging in such a flattering delusion. - 1 The news of the release of Tweed frone prison will pronaMy surprise tte people Ills lawyers bad failed so oiten that it was supposed every farther elTjrt upon their part wouid be useless.

Tbe main incident in the Fawkner case yesterday was the entering of a nolle prosequi on the indictment brought against
Fawkner in the Criminal Court. He was in this indictment charged with seduction and abortion. The case formed a part of the chain of events in the history of the Deaf and Dumb Institution investigation. Fawkner was indicted pre
vious to the bringing of charges against the management. His Indictment was a necessary step In the vindication of the institution, as a proof of his guilt afforded the only explanation for Ida K, Fawkner's condition. The board of trustees, being unwilling to trust so Important a matter to the prosecuting attornev
whose business it is to attend to these criminal affairs, employed two of the
leading firms in the city, Messrs. Forter it Fishback, and Harrison, Uines and Miller, as counsel to assist in the conviction of Fawkner. A month ago, when the rase came on for trial, these gentlemen asked for a postponement, on the ground that they were not ready. This left Fawkner with the accusation hanging over him, and precipitated his action in bringing charges against the management of the institution. Yesterday was the day set for the trial ot the Indictment, and Mr. Fawkner's attorneys appeared in court, and a second time demanded that the matter be brought to an issue. Messrs. Harrison and Fishback urged that the case should be postponed to await the result of the investigation now in progress, which should not be interrupted. Mr. Byfield
declared that the investigation could con. tinue just as well as not, and the indictment
might be tried at the same time. The court held that it could not take cog nizance of any outside proceedings, and would only grant a continuance on the usual grounds. The result was that Messrs. Harrison and Fishback declared their intention of withdrawing, and the prosecuting attorney stepped forward and stated th?t after consultation with these gen
tlemen, and the use of due dilligence, he found that he had no evidence upon which to hope for a conviction of the accused, and he, therefore, entered a nolle prosequi. The excuses given by the lawyers employed by the trustees for failing to go on with the case are certainly rather curious. It is not easy to understand how they can argue that a private citizen should rest quietly under a heinous charge until after a state Institution has been
examined and pronounced in good or bad condition. To the public it is of vastly
more importance that the latter matter
should be decided, but to the individual
bis own safety is the principal con
cern, rne race or me matter is the
friends of Messrs. Mclntire and Valentine
should have pushed this indictment with
all their strength. If they oould have convicted Fawkner, bis conviction would go far toward establishing the Innocence of others.
As far as Valentine is concerned, Fawk
ner's conviction would have been absoluta proof of innocence. As things
have turned out, the aggressive movement against Fawkner must be regarded as an utter failure. It Is a very strange coincidence tbat the lawyers employed by the board in this prosecution are the same gen
tlemen who represent Mclntire and Valentine in the investigation before the trustees.
There was an effort made in the evidence,
yesterday, to Insinuate that this Identity or interest extended much further than to the

hay for the animals through a long and fierce winter. But now half a dozen teams
and drivers go into a hundred acre field in the morning and ride around over it,
and at night the 200 tons of
bay are mowed down. Meantime, as many boys mounted on tedders have kept the cut
grass flying in the sunshine and wind, and after these still other charioteers, ruddy
girls, perhaps, have raked the hay into rows by horse power. It is hauled to stack cr

Instead of monotonously exertiDg the

single department of farm labor. There is ttill toil in the process, but the rapidity of progress, and the magnitude of the work done In a short time, relieves the mind from that sense of a great and dragging task, a mountain of toil in view, to be slowly levelled, which the farmer of yore
had to encounter. In truth, the eruan cipation of the northern furmt from slavery is hardly less remarkable th:u
that of the southern negro from bondage. The
haying season Is at hand. If our farmer?,
with the extraordinary facilities at their command, could be persuaded to take care

The new motor.which has been alluded to

attention, and the press appears to be p9r

The murder of McGehan has developed a curious kind of sentiment among the people of Ohio, and the career of the desperado and the comments made on the killing of him illustrate a condition of society which has hitherto been supposed to be pec n liar to tie South and the border states.

ting the changes which such an Invention
will bring about, it is rather . strange that
little has been said concerning one important revolution which the new motor
would assuredly effect. It would
give the key for tbe solution of tbe great problem of serial navigation. Thus far men have pursued the task ol creating
machinery for traversing the easy, un
obstructed pathway ol the air with a com
plete misconception of what is necessary tor success. They have been deluded by the false theory tbat the air can
only be navigated by something lighter
than Itself, and they have wasted their in
genuity in trying to lift up great ships on
clumsy balloons. Such vast and misBnapen
structures could only be at the mercy of
the variable atmosphere. Their .very
bulk and levity would render them
absolutely worthless, and ships con
structed on the balloon principle could be nothing but great, costly toys. Whatever
navigates the air must not be lighter ' than
