The address of M. Henri Rochofot. last Bight, <»f which we print a lull reptirl, wits a brilliant and forcible «dibit. It throw« liinrh light on the internal troubles of France, and giv« a new view, of a stormy period of tho lie- pubiie. Louisiana Is aftlioted beyond all precedent. Drouth íh visiting those portions of the Stute that are out of tbe reach of th«> Hoods. So that the country presents the painful anomaly of bt nu' «lind np where it has not been drowned out. Ii ia evident that the demand for aid is most imperativo and heartrending. It is impossible not t«i be mov««d with I'om- Piission at such ,i picturo of MÜhtilfl the late reports ]ilaeo before us. It is a [iicture. however, that sbould call for something more substantial than mere sympathy. Money is needed now, aud a great deal of it. Bayard Taylor, in a letter printed on the third paga of Tiik Tuiiu'NF, gives a highly int« resting account of the Egyptian exhuma- tions made by Mariette Hey. Th«« treasures of art which have been brought to the surface are alrtiuly throwing much light on the early his¬ tory «>f the human ra«e. What they will do when classified and made to give up their bidden .tores of knowledge none can tell. These an« highly valtiabl«. discoveries which our correspondent describes; but, after all, tlure is more human interest in the simple story of the footprints found in the ccnturics- old dust of an Egyptian tomb than in all the sculptured relics of tbe mus. um at Boolak. The popular impression that the past Spring has been an exceedingly unhealthy ««¡ison is not borne out by the records of the Health Board. Cool weather has reduced the death- rate; frcqu« nt thowell have scoured the stietfs, and Nature has found ellicii nt allies in the Health Commissioners, who have m -ver Brincad moro forethought and energy. In former years, tho lirst glare of the June sim has set mounds of rott«'n straw in a fenm-nt on each pide of the island and laboratories of unwholesome odors like tho Algonquin have tainted the breatb of the lower classes; but the plague-spots have b«Tii cleansed a month earlier than usual tliis y«-ai and a clos«« watch has been kept upon the tenement «listrids. The city has rarely been in better condition to battle with Pestilente, whoso Midsummer mareil lrom tho West has been sorely «Ireaded. Congress is expect, d to adjourn on the 2_d of this ini.ii'li. Tlure has been nothing done to satisfy the popular demand that the cus¬ toms organization be reformed. To be sure the House has passed a bill which . 1,ow pending in tbe Senate. But ii Ut v«iy clear that we need not rxpoc* a»y **+* 'v,,rk to oO accomplished in th¡.¦ «lirection. The Senate is killing the ni«*~«'iro with ilclays. Yesterday, it daw-.-'-«- all day over the public docu- .uii'iit business; next, somo such fascinating topi«* as mileage will come up to crowd all other subjects out of the way. It will not avail fur Senators to conceal their bostility to this much-neoded reform by pretending that other business prevents its discussion. The commercial community lia«, asked that the scanilaloiis abuses of the CostOflBO seiviee be wiped out. It rests with the Boaate to say Whether this demand shall bo nut now. The President has authorized the publication of some of bis views on the currency which arc likely to command general attest ion. When we say that these opinions met with the ap¬ proval «if so clear-headed a financier as Sena¬ tor Jones of Nevada, W8 sufficiently indicate their general charact«-!. The handful of infla¬ tionists who lately swaggeroil into the Lxceii- tive Mansion before the Boston delegation will not find any comfort in thio President ia! outgiving. Briefly, it r«'«(iiiimends an -imme¬ diate retino to sp«« io payments, a repeal ol the Legal Tender act, and a withdrawal of small n«it«'s fiom general circulation. There will bi- divers opinions as to the wisdom of the details of the President- plan; but none will question the .inc«rity with which it is put forth, nor the soundness of his general view eoncerning the delusion of indefinite ex¬ pansion now effectually dispelled. Dr. Leonard Bacon pays his respoits this morning to the lion. Horace Maynard, «if the House of Representatives. The New-Haven cbTgyman thinks, as Senator Morton thought, or pretended to think, live years ago, that the Government's promises ought to mean some¬ thing, and that Governimnt ought to pay what it promises to pay. He has not yet arrived at that confusion of mind which is unable to dist in- gnish a dollar from a promise at some indefi¬ nite future time to pay ailollar. Mr. Maynard ap¬ pears to have passed it long ago, for he now calls the paper promise of tbe United States money famed iu payment of a debt, and the papi-r promises of the banks, payable in the paper promisee of the United States, "a loan by the " bunks to the people." No wonder that men like Mr. Maynard, who think that the Govern¬ ment's promises to pay moni-y which have no intrinsic value beyond their utility as stock to the paper maker, look upon a new cr«*ation of paper money as an addition to the substantial wealth of the eouutry. The contest in Franco which now bids fair to become most interesting is that which the ..epublicans have begun against the Bona- I partists. They have alr«a«ly opened u pam¬ phlet warfare, which is intended to .how, in all its odious character, the disastrous rule of the Bonapartists, Jt can hardly be said that the latter have shown very good judg¬ ment in selecting either the field on which the lirst battle is to bo fought or the person who is to be their leader. M. Chevreau, who has been nominated by the Bonapartists of Lyons.next to Paris the most radical constituency of France.was the successor of Baron Hausmann, the Prefect of the Seine under the Empire. When the re¬ verses of August, 1870, ruined M. Olli.icr, M. Chevreau entered the new ministry formed by (Jen. Palika<>. The culminating «bsastcr of Sedan, which destroyed the Empire, attaches to the name of all the ministers of that po- n«>d a stigma whick the Bonajiai lists wimbi do 11 to avoid .«calling to the mimi of the public.alKive all, where they are to have such determined opponents as the BepobUcana of Lyons. The statement which we print this morning, from a thoroughly well informell «'orrespond- ent, giving a full outline of Hie proponed Ivcciprocity Treaty with Canalla, will eo__UMnd general att"iitioii. Two or three pateta in ii are likely to provoke somo disput .. 'i'hi ie will bo ilvtloj h'.wevcr, WU'"" 'hu proposal for a free interchange of natural products. Both count nos aro ex¬ porters of grain and lumber, and on grain and lumber for exportation these cannot well b<« two prices. We. import some Nova Scotia coal, but we sell to Canalla Pennsylvania. coal to probably four times its value. It is probable, too, that WO should sell more manufacture«, to Canada than we should buy of her under a free intiTchaiig««. Wo already lo the largest shan- of tho shipbuilding on the. Lal.es, and a heavy majority «d the larger vessels passing tin «nigh tho Welland Canal bear our ling. But, without out« ling into further particulars, we content «uirselv«'S at pi. sut with inviting the attention of business mm and polit hal H.unO-Bll-O *** plans now pro¬ posed fur a measure of the greatest iinji n t,mee to our Northern frontier, and of interest, in¬ deed, throughout the whole country. THE SEW SECRETARY. Pn-sidont (¡runt's new Jsocrelary «if the Treasury has a grand ojiporlunity before lum if he only has the keenness to disc««rn ¡ind the ability to improve, it. He will not be ex¬ pected to connivo any great measure of li nance or set en foot any great schemes for immediate sp«*cio resumption. Mr. Bichtid- son has done siilficicnt tinkering in a small way at large things to last us for a loog time. The people will willingly b«.ir the «.vils of th«- existing «oiulition if they may only bo spari-d the unpleasant spectacle of a Weak) vain, and incoinpct<nt Minist«, r of Finance attempting to grappl«' with a subject he eui In no wise c<impi'ch<'inl. 01 that tiny have had « nough, and too much, already. Any old woman who could have stood on the Treas¬ ury steps and thrown up hei hands, ami said "Shoo" at til«- Panic, would have «lone better than this man did with his ovoilasling vanity and irredecinablo stupidity. 0hd_f his ad- niinistrali«*n the Depart-Ben. has been con¬ ducted with the most nu.-.fiable in- ofliciom y | whati'ver about it is not WOnk h pretty sure to be wicked. A ««numilti« of his parly and personal frieuds have had him and his management under con¬ sideration, and, after much head-shaking and giving-thi-bomdit-of-douhts, have said «pou the whole, that he was honest.a most oxas- ptrating verdict to any peison less pachy¬ dermatous than a rhino«'.'.«»-*, and thenoa he has accepted willi a smiik the oller of a Jadgcehip. and aaaoored by the fact thal he was only confirmed by the rcfusd to voto his own political friendo who deemed him un¬ lit, he «ill step upon til I bench just as thoogfa his removal from the Treasury was not dishonor to himself, his appointment to ire ollie«- a disgmoe lo tin* Adminis*-***1 ." *m* his transfer to lim b«M* -" ******* upon common deceno* Qf \*- mc na i «Ison and his works the wholi- «tiuntry is tired. What the people il"si.o ami what the new Secretary, if he io wise, will order iiiiineilialely, is a thoiongh overhauling and cleaning out of the Department intrusted to him. Tln^e is a prevalent Mapleton that the Bannon bnaineaa ia only Um ontcropping of a v«-in of iniquity that underruns the whole Department. Sawyers and Baiilields and Ban- bonis are no1 phenomena or accidents, they are products ot a system. Mr. Bristow has the opportunity to refora- the whole thing. He does not need to be shown the mistake of his predecessor in signing «-ontracts of the moa! important ifharacter as meta routine busi¬ ness. Mr. Rlehnrdeon*o example of neglecting the minor di ¡alls, llie small things in tho Department! thal he might give his entire at¬ tention to tim statesmanship of finance, should be a sufficient warning to him not to under¬ take th«« things he cannot do, ni that aro at least doubtful, to the neglect oi the things he is ('Hite «"'nal to and cm do well. One of the Administration organs praising the wisdom of the President's appointment, observes that a great financier or a shuleiit of political economy is not wanted in the Treasury Depart¬ ment at this time, for the President has no plan «if speci«- resumption, nor any spccilii financial policy to lu« « arried out which calls for such a man. His plan, if he has any, is to let things go along as they ar««, trusiing t«i fortune to bring us out right, by and by. In this view of the «situation the ability required in the Treas¬ ury is simply admiiiistralive, and lor such «lil¬ lies it is said that I he new Secretary _ pecu¬ liarly fitted. Tho people do not expect from him anv great thing««. Ho can use what surplus ho has in retiring the illegal issue of twenty-eight millions of the so- called forty-four million reserve. He can, as oppi.itunit v permits, convert our six per cent into five per cent bon*-*. He can fiteatlfastly resist the wickedness of inflation, and at least keep his faco turned toward siMM'ie payments. For the rest, Iks people will be more than content, they will award him enthusiastic praise if ho discharges the ordinary routine dtitii-s of the office conscien¬ tiously und faithfully, compelling the same faithful service from all his .uhorduiatcs, and honestly and laboriously purifying the department of the public service intrusted to hiin ; rooting out incompetency, repressing favoritism and partisanship, and making official position at least respectable and hon- orablo. His opportunity is great. Ho follows the most conspicuous and most lamentable failure in tho political history of the country and has only to bo moderately wise and not to undertake too much. TUB MAYOR AND THE ALDER.MES. The Board of Aldermen arc reported to have been highly entertained on 'Ihursday afternoon by a message from Mayor Have- nieyer. It was in reply to a resolution ol the Board rcqiiestiiig his Honor to turn Polico Commissioners Gardner and Chai lick out of office.not, as it appears, for any specific offense, Imt on general and somewhat indefinite principles. The Mayor's answer was strictly polite and most civilly unpleasant. __» r,.. minded the Aldermen that they ila,i prcferro«! no tangible charges, and jur. ¦Ashed no evidence to iHtsntistS the accusations made by other people, and he could not «feel justifie«! m removing the obnoxious Commissioners until ,,,, jlil(i plOOt of their unfaithfulness ST incompetency However highly ho might value tho opinion of the Board of Alderineu, ho could not lor- fSt that opinion was one thing and testimony was another. He should therefore proceed to investigate the conduct of Messrs. Gaiduor and Chai lick in Ins own way, and v.],,.,, ju. got through he would make up his mind what ought to be done. Wo leam that the leading of the imssage was frequently interrupted \,y " roan of laughter," and othor indication« of enjoyment. After it was over, the Aldermen accepted un invitation to visit Cncdtnoor to¬ day, ami we hope they will get as much fun out of the rifle contest as they evidently got out of tho Mayor and '.ho Police.

Uriel panics in tlie money market and U'ln- poiary st i mooney only operate t«i cheek new business on the pitt of tbo companies, while an «ra of general prosperity is usually Barked by a Ki eat increase, in t!i«! number of poliin-s taken. Fntler tho pim bing inlbicnco of "hard times," many a luxury is dispensed with, many a pleasure denied, perhaps oven nome netual necessity is poRtponed, before tho bolder of a policy is forced to the unhappy conclusion that ho ia no «lOBfBI able t«» renew. In seasons like the pres«-nt, behind every ¡»obey that an insurance com¬ pany wipes oil i»s books, canceled before, ma¬ turity, there is a tal«* of hardship anil of men¬ tal sii.Vciin.a»; that, if all could lx* authored in a volume, would make a more doleful series ol laiiientatiniis tluna the woes of UM prophet. The majority of these holder« of lapsed policies sailor in silence. Mont of them ai'cept lhe misfortune an simply inevitable. A large proportion of tho sufferers regard themselves as unfairly dealt with, but are unwilling to parade their mishaps before the world.i. e. tile eyes ol their neighbor* . partly because tiny have no hope of gaini**;; BBjtllinf by the exposure, and partly flinn fear of nrou.-iug t'*" -B-t*tB__tnfring «iiorus ol "I tob» J"" M>-" To all others b".i it», /». .»- íápaed policy is sure evidence of want of wisdom «ia taking insurance, and nothing is so easy as to be »wita after the result. A few, however, grow angry over their fancied wrongs, and aro anxious to tell I heir story. We print one of this class "of let¬ ters to-il'j'. TIn re is nothing remarkable about it, mi pt that at one time in the his¬ tory of this policy the company appear to have acb-d willi great hnitney, stretching their loibearance further than the limit*» of the contract required ; but when again asked for a soiiieyvhat similar concession, they stood upon the biter of the law. It li undeniably ti ne (hat the chief fault in these eases lies with tho person who lakes out tin- policy. If it were real «stat« instead oi insurance that he. was buying, lie. would car«'- fnlly read ami consider ««very word «»f tho «heil tlnit conveyed it ; would perhaps ask the an! of a lavvycr to examine it ; if he bound hitiisell by a mortgage, ho would study its conditions, expect in;» to fullill his sh.iro of thi-iii ninl to sutler by ils foreclosure in case of non-compliance. In that transaction, it would not bo the mr io word «hf tho seller of the property or of some intermediate, OB which tin* buyer would placo bis dependence ; but on tbo written agreement, binding both. Jlovv many people ever take li fa insiiranco with similar precautions 1 Who would ever think of wiitin»; to a nevvspap«T to complain of the hard»!iips which resulted from failing to meet the obligations of a mortgage ? The fact, however, remains as wo have stated, tbiit a va»t amount of misery accrues with the lapse of policies, and we cannot re¬ gard with complacency a system which brings about such a result. Every e.ise of tho sort forms a nucleus of discouragement where it will bo dilliciilt, if not impossible, to plant confidence anew, ami thus tho business of insuring li vi 1 becomes more* dilliciilt year by year. Perhaps it would bave been useless to urge the consideration of this mat¬ ter on our life insurance companies in the heyday of their prosperity, wheal every agent who. waa gifud with a facile tongue could bring in a handful of applications for policies after a week's canvassing. Hut now, when it is at best up-hill work to propagate the gos¬ pel of life insurance, it would seem to be a measure of wisdom for some of the leading companies to make a new bid for public favor. There is no surer method of obtaining an im¬ mediate increase of business, with the cer¬ tainty of permanent satisfaction to all parties concerned, than in the issue of policies which aro definite in all their provisions; which state simply and squarely on their face the amount of money which tho company will return to cancel the policy at tho end of each year. It is true that such a statement would greatly snrprise many persons who now imagino that companies can afford to return a large proportion of wbat they receive, and forget that the risk of lifo is something that must be paid for, like tho rink of fire. Hut if people understood life insurance better they would take it moto willingly. As policies aro now issued, the morality of the system is open to doubt ; there is room for a question of tho honesty of a bargain in which one of the parties is almost invariably deceived, SKYKSTY-FIVB TU0U3ASD DOLLARS SA FED. That was an agreeable item of Albany news which informed us that the recent Legislature declined to make appropriations for tho print¬ ing of the Hcports of the Agricultural and other societies. This significant No, uttered with the euiphasiB of a largo majority, saves to ibu tax-payers of the Stato at least $70,000, which, with a less senBiblo Senate, might have been to a great extent literally wasted. We use the word atlviseilly, for it isa truth patent to all disinterested persons who bavo glanced at these modern documenta that they are not, on tho whole, worth the cost of paper and binding. A publisher who should assume the responsibility of issuing even tho best of them with the expectation of a return of his money might with excellent reason be considered in¬ sane. Why matter of which this remark can be justly made should be put in type and dis- soiiiinatrcd year after y«*ar for tho bonetit of the few at the cost of thu many is not apparent. Theso Reporta, brought oat at tho tax-payers' expenso, aro alway« bulky, imnKVtely made bo for effect* they contain much tiia-.lv k* ephuiumai, and tbe beat Uto material collected has, eight tlmea in ten, boen previously made available to the public by the periodicals of the day. TUBS for fair ex¬ ample tho " Transactions of tho New-York " State Agricultural Society for l*S7t." We pass without «'«miment the fact that the volume was no1, iaaOOd until two y«-ars or BOOM alter dale. It has BM pages, broad ami long. It gives at the OIllBBt the Constitution ti the Society, which has probably boen printed in each of the H __________ which pMOSded the OM in hand; the li.t of members; and the port of Fxcciitiv« CoBOflBÍttOS and minutes of yearly meeting assembled for the purpose «if cb. ling officers. These minutes aro set down with great pr.'cisiin and detail, ami are, we may safely say, of trifling consequence save ti» ih" few persons in whose hands the man¬ ag mi.nt of tho Society mainly rests. They an-, however, printed in largo type, with v«iy Breqneni paragraphing and wide, spaces, and with »ho evident purpose of making them spnad over as much surface as possible. We come next to the report of tho treasurer, which is twelve pages in length, and tiil.es a full line of apnOB for each of scores of such otntesaento as "C Burbank, class six, voucher "US_.«_.." Next wc have in this volume, is¬ sued, as will be remembered, late in MU. "the "award of ptemiaau made at the Fair in 1871." This list occupies IO pages, and while it may be of interest to the persons namoi!, somo of them dozens of times, what does it concern the tax-burdened public to be assured, for in¬ stance, that "Ihe first prize for saddle horses, " UM and less than I...-," was awarded to a Medina gentleman for "Billy, by Young 000> " sternal ion," and that Billy, who may have died before the Keport was issued, was" brown" and " 11.1 ?" Or what shall it profit a man to be assured, in double-leaded minion, that Mr. Studley, whose address is given in full, got $'l for his Domiuhpics, or that Schindler's, not Schneider's, dog was " commended t" Is there anything derating in the bare fact tliat Mr. Piiisman of Bchodock received a prize for a bille of hops, or anything significant in the statement that Mr. doaaaaan got only a minor premium for his egg-plants, or that (¡raves showed poppen and Ai Pine pumpkins, and Miss Sclioonmaker pickles, and that the pieties were "in vinegar;" or that Monk's wines were "not up to the standard ;;i wines "proper, but as dials for family use " were entitled ko commendation;* or that the cider samples wer«, ''all tOfbti* and that the committee "award no pceaaiaani to th«ml" U it exhilarating even to Mrs. Craves to have it announced, in bold type and in the light of S broad margin, that her vinegar was " not of Mpassable quality Î" What will the Bowery girl, whoso father pays his humble share of t h«- expense of tim publicity, care to know- that ¦ Mossvale darno took the rag off the bush, or, in other words, got _ tim Iii-'host, ,V.v;.;:l f"n - _.__!__£___! petticoats;" or that Miss Cork's "worst-«I picture, 'St. Paul "'preaching in Al hens,'" was "deemed "worthy of special mention;" or that there is a clothe--pin called "Hercules," or that Bur¬ bank heat all in his fine of vegetabh s T And yet, iucr.diblo as it may seem, Huso and kindred detndl are drawled out over H pages. At their conclusion, that is at tho foot of page l-l, th«' Society's "Transactions" properly omi, iiiiil yet we hare turned little more than one- scveiith of tile b*aves. But how «1«) they till tho othes six-sevenths, or 711 pagi*s T We shall see. "The Cul'ivation of the Beet for the Manu- '" facturo of Sugar" is a treatise 148 pages long. Is it a record of valuable lessosohss and experiments conducted by the State So¬ ciety and thus first presented to the world T Not at all; it is a translation of Louis Walk- huffs " Practical Sugar Manufacturer and I.e- " finer." But why in the narnu of reason should it be reprinted at publie cost and palmed off as part of the " Transactions of "the New-York Stats Agricultural Society for " 1871 ?" Why also should 40 pages of l'rof. Voelcker bo copied from a former year's Report of tho Bojnl Agricultural Society of England Î The matter is valuablo without doubt, but in what particular manner «Iocs it so directly concern the tax-payers of the Empire state that they should be required to pay for its inserliou in tho " Transactions " wo criticise T Again, is the record.... pages. of the doings of the " American Fish Culttir- " isis'Association*' property part and parcel of tho State Agricultural Society's " Trans¬ actions;" and can the Dairymen's Associa¬ tion and Board of Trade.1.0 pages.appear with any propriety under such auspi«*es Or why should the discussions of the Central New- York Fanners' Club during 1.70 and 1871 bo published late in 1-73 to the extent of 150 pages in these " Transactions Î " If it is proper to give thom, why not proper to givo re¬ ports of other local clubs 1 The Central Club is an organization altogether independent of the Stato Society ; it has its own officers, makes its own laws, conducts its affairs in its own way, and has its own records. Why should these bo clipped from the local paper and years afterward reappear in the " Trans- " actions of the New-York State Agricultural "SocietyI" The only explanation is that the Society desired to make a show, to add one more bulky volume at public cost to its pre¬ vious long array, and having little material of its own, it went abroad, so very much abroa«! indee«l that at least two foreign nations are prominently represented. If the conductors of the Stato Society axe content with this show¬ ing for themselves, that is their affair ; but it is matter for legitimate criticism when they ask for thousands of dollars of other people's money to pay for the printing of promiscuous selections, good in themselves, but tliree-f«>urths of thom scarcely moro appropriately labeled as their "Transactions" than would bo an equal amouut of matter clipped from tho Agricul¬ tural Department of The Tkibunk, It is in view of just such facts as these.which we have selected as fairly representative.that we desSB tho Legislature wiso and considerate in withholding further appropriations for this sort of public printing. What a climat« we have, to bo sure! The other nilfht the teiii|H>ratiir_ uio«lerated to such an extent that there was skating in Cnion-wpiare ! Our rural readers may not holievo it, but, we assure them, we saw it with eyes. Cnfortunately tho fountain-basin in the l'iii.ui-r-iua.t. l'urk ia too small to admit of much " skatorial display " (as the ahowbilla term it), and the young men aud maidens were obliged to betake themselves to the walks, which were m tin© condition for this best of all exert-ia«.. Of course such au apparition as that «if skaters was unlocked for at this time of year, and the rapid movements of the performers disturbed the calculation« of many a i>_ir of fri. tilla who ann in ann enjoyed the warm moon's birth and the long evening-ends. As the whiz aud whir of the skates were heard in the du- tanc«, consternation seized the loungers, but in too many <¦__«-_ all their plans ti escape were upnet and their bo.lt(«a along with them.

that the country presents the painful anomalyof bt nu' «lind np where it has not beendrowned out. Ii ia evident that the demandfor aid is most imperativo and heartrending.It is impossible not t«i be mov««d with I'om-

Bayard Taylor, in a letter printed on thethird paga of Tiik Tuiiu'NF, gives a highlyint« resting account of the Egyptian exhuma-tions made by Mariette Hey. Th«« treasures of

art which have been brought to the surface are

alrtiuly throwing much light on the early his¬

tory «>f the human ra«e. What they will dowhen classified and made to give up theirbidden .tores of knowledge none can tell.These an« highly valtiabl«. discoveries whichour correspondent describes; but, after all,tlure is more human interest in the simplestory of the footprints found in the ccnturics-old dust of an Egyptian tomb than in allthe sculptured relics of tbe mus. um at Boolak.

The popular impression that the past Springhas been an exceedingly unhealthy ««¡ison is

not borne out by the records of the HealthBoard. Cool weather has reduced the death-rate; frcqu« nt thowell have scoured the

stietfs, and Nature has found ellicii nt alliesin the Health Commissioners, who have m-ver

Brincad moro forethought and energy. Informer years, tho lirst glare of the June sim

has set mounds of rott«'n straw in a fenm-nton each pide of the island and laboratories ofunwholesome odors like tho Algonquin havetainted the breatb of the lower classes; butthe plague-spots have b«Tii cleansed a monthearlier than usual tliis y«-ai and a clos«« watchhas been kept upon the tenement «listrids.The city has rarely been in better conditionto battle with Pestilente, whoso Midsummermareil lrom tho West has been sorely «Ireaded.

Congress is expect, d to adjourn on the 2_dof this ini.ii'li. Tlure has been nothing doneto satisfy the popular demand that the cus¬

toms organization be reformed. To be sure

the House has passed a bill which . 1,ow

pending in tbe Senate. But ii Ut v«iy clearthat we need not rxpoc* a»y **+* 'v,,rk to oO

accomplished in th¡.¦ «lirection. The Senate is

killing the ni«*~«'iro with ilclays. Yesterday,it daw-.-'-«- all day over the public docu-.uii'iit business; next, somo such fascinatingtopi«* as mileage will come up to crowd allother subjects out of the way. It will not

avail fur Senators to conceal their bostility to

this much-neoded reform by pretending thatother business prevents its discussion. Thecommercial community lia«, asked that thescanilaloiis abuses of the CostOflBO seiviee be

wiped out. It rests with the Boaate to sayWhether this demand shall bo nut now.

The President has authorized the publicationof some of bis views on the currency whicharc likely to command general attest ion. Whenwe say that these opinions met with the ap¬

proval «if so clear-headed a financier as Sena¬tor Jones of Nevada, W8 sufficiently indicatetheir general charact«-!. The handful of infla¬tionists who lately swaggeroil into the Lxceii-tive Mansion before the Boston delegationwill not find any comfort in thio President ia!outgiving. Briefly, it r«'«(iiiimends an -imme¬diate retino to sp«« io payments, a repeal olthe Legal Tender act, and a withdrawal ofsmall n«it«'s fiom general circulation. Therewill bi- divers opinions as to the wisdom ofthe details of the President- plan; but none

will question the .inc«rity with which it is

put forth, nor the soundness of his generalview eoncerning the delusion of indefinite ex¬

pansion now effectually dispelled.

Dr. Leonard Bacon pays his respoits thismorning to the lion. Horace Maynard, «if theHouse of Representatives. The New-HavencbTgyman thinks, as Senator Morton thought,or pretended to think, live years ago, that theGovernment's promises ought to mean some¬

thing, and that Governimnt ought to pay whatit promises to pay. He has not yet arrived at

that confusion of mind which is unable to dist in-gnish a dollar from a promise at some indefi¬nite future time to pay ailollar. Mr. Maynard ap¬pears to have passed it long ago, for he now callsthe paper promise of tbe United States moneyfamed iu payment of a debt, and the papi-rpromises of the banks, payable in the paperpromisee of the United States, "a loan by the" bunks to the people." No wonder that men

like Mr. Maynard, who think that the Govern¬ment's promises to pay moni-y which have no

intrinsic value beyond their utility as stock tothe paper maker, look upon a new cr«*ation ofpaper money as an addition to the substantialwealth of the eouutry.

The contest in Franco which now bids fairto become most interesting is that which the..epublicans have begun against the Bona-

I partists. They have alr«a«ly opened u pam¬phlet warfare, which is intended to .how, inall its odious character, the disastrous ruleof the Bonapartists, Jt can hardly be saidthat the latter have shown very good judg¬ment in selecting either the field on whichthe lirst battle is to bo fought or theperson who is to be their leader.M. Chevreau, who has been nominatedby the Bonapartists of Lyons.next to Paristhe most radical constituency of France.wasthe successor of Baron Hausmann, the Prefectof the Seine under the Empire. When the re¬

verses of August, 1870, ruined M. Olli.icr, M.Chevreau entered the new ministry formed by(Jen. Palika<>.

pected to connivo any great measure ofli nance or set en foot any great schemes forimmediate sp«*cio resumption. Mr. Bichtid-son has done siilficicnt tinkering in a small

way at large things to last us for a loogtime. The people will willingly b«.ir the

Tln^e is a prevalent Mapleton thatthe Bannon bnaineaa ia only Um ontcroppingof a v«-in of iniquity that underruns the wholeDepartment. Sawyers and Baiilields and Ban-bonis are no1 phenomena or accidents, theyare products ot a system. Mr. Bristow hasthe opportunity to refora- the whole thing.He does not need to be shown the mistake ofhis predecessor in signing «-ontracts of themoa! important ifharacter as meta routine busi¬ness. Mr. Rlehnrdeon*o example of neglectingthe minor di ¡alls, llie small things in thoDepartment! thal he might give his entire at¬tention to tim statesmanship of finance, shouldbe a sufficient warning to him not to under¬take th«« things he cannot do, ni that aro

at least doubtful, to the neglect oi the thingshe is ('Hite «"'nal to and cm do well. One ofthe Administration organs praising the wisdomof the President's appointment, observes thata great financier or a shuleiit of politicaleconomy is not wanted in the Treasury Depart¬ment at this time, for the President has no plan«if speci«- resumption, nor any spccilii financialpolicy to lu« « arried out which calls for such a

man. His plan, if he has any, is to let thingsgo along as they ar««, trusiing t«i fortune tobring us out right, by and by. In this view ofthe «situation the ability required in the Treas¬ury is simply admiiiistralive, and lor such «lil¬lies it is said that I he new Secretary _ pecu¬liarly fitted.Tho people do not expect from him anv

great thing««. Ho can use what surplusho has in retiring the illegal issueof twenty-eight millions of the so-

called forty-four million reserve. Hecan, as oppi.itunit v permits, convert our sixper cent into five per cent bon*-*. He can

fiteatlfastly resist the wickedness of inflation,and at least keep his faco turned towardsiMM'ie payments. For the rest, Iks peoplewill be more than content, they will awardhim enthusiastic praise if ho discharges theordinary routine dtitii-s of the office conscien¬tiously und faithfully, compelling the same

faithful service from all his .uhorduiatcs,and honestly and laboriously purifying thedepartment of the public service intrusted tohiin ; rooting out incompetency, repressingfavoritism and partisanship, and makingofficial position at least respectable and hon-orablo. His opportunity is great. Ho followsthe most conspicuous and most lamentablefailure in tho political history of the countryand has only to bo moderately wise and not toundertake too much.

TUB MAYOR AND THE ALDER.MES.The Board of Aldermen arc reported to

have been highly entertained on 'Ihursdayafternoon by a message from Mayor Have-nieyer. It was in reply to a resolution ol theBoard rcqiiestiiig his Honor to turn PolicoCommissioners Gardner and Chai lick out ofoffice.not, as it appears, for any specificoffense, Imt on general and somewhat indefiniteprinciples. The Mayor's answer was strictlypolite and most civilly unpleasant. __» r,..minded the Aldermen that they ila,iprcferro«! no tangible charges, and jur.¦Ashed no evidence to iHtsntistS theaccusations made by other people, andhe could not «feel justifie«! m removingthe obnoxious Commissioners until ,,,, jlil(iplOOt of their unfaithfulness ST incompetencyHowever highly ho might value tho opinionof the Board of Alderineu, ho could not lor-fSt that opinion was one thing and testimonywas another. He should therefore proceed toinvestigate the conduct of Messrs. Gaiduorand Chai lick in Ins own way, and v.],,.,, ju.got through he would make up his mind whatought to be done. Wo leam that the leadingof the imssage was frequently interrupted \,y" roan of laughter," and othor indication« ofenjoyment. After it was over, the Aldermenaccepted un invitation to visit Cncdtnoor to¬day, ami we hope they will get as much funout of the rifle contest as they evidently gotout of tho Mayor and '.ho Police.

lAl'SED LIFE ISSVRASCEAmong tbe indirect consoqiion»'os of long

rout inn« «t di|»re*A»ion of tbe business interc»!»

of the country, is nu unusual number of in¬

stance»» of neglect to renew life insurances.Uriel panics in tlie money market and U'ln-

poiary st i mooney only operate t«i cheek new

business on the pitt of tbo companies, whilean «ra of general prosperity is usually Barkedby a Ki eat increase, in t!i«! number of poliin-staken. Fntler tho pim bing inlbicnco of"hard times," many a luxury is dispensedwith, many a pleasure denied, perhapsoven nome netual necessity is poRtponed,before tho bolder of a policy is forced to

the unhappy conclusion that ho ia no «lOBfBIable t«» renew. In seasons like the pres«-nt,behind every ¡»obey that an insurance com¬

pany wipes oil i»s books, canceled before, ma¬

turity, there is a tal«* of hardship anil of men¬

tal sii.Vciin.a»; that, if all could lx* authored ina volume, would make a more doleful series

ol laiiientatiniis tluna the woes of UM prophet.The majority of these holder« of lapsed

policies sailor in silence. Mont of them ai'ceptlhe misfortune an simply inevitable. A largeproportion of tho sufferers regard themselvesas unfairly dealt with, but are unwilling to

parade their mishaps before the world.i. e.

A few, however, grow angry over

their fancied wrongs, and aro anxious to tellI heir story. We print one of this class "of let¬ters to-il'j'. TIn re is nothing remarkableabout it, mi pt that at one time in the his¬tory of this policy the company appear tohave acb-d willi great hnitney, stretchingtheir loibearance further than the limit*» ofthe contract required ; but when again askedfor a soiiieyvhat similar concession, they stoodupon the biter of the law.

It li undeniably ti ne (hat the chief fault inthese eases lies with tho person who lakes outtin- policy. If it were real «stat« instead oiinsurance that he. was buying, lie. would car«'-

fnlly read ami consider ««very word «»f tho«heil tlnit conveyed it ; would perhaps ask thean! of a lavvycr to examine it ; if he boundhitiisell by a mortgage, ho would study itsconditions, expect in;» to fullill his sh.iro ofthi-iii ninl to sutler by ils foreclosure in case

of non-compliance. In that transaction, itwould not bo the mr io word «hf tho seller ofthe property or of some intermediate, OB whichtin* buyer would placo bis dependence ; buton tbo written agreement, binding both. Jlovvmany people ever take lifa insiiranco withsimilar precautions 1 Who would ever thinkof wiitin»; to a nevvspap«T to complain of thehard»!iips which resulted from failing to meet

the obligations of a mortgage ?The fact, however, remains as wo have

stated, tbiit a va»t amount of misery accrues

with the lapse of policies, and we cannot re¬

gard with complacency a system which bringsabout such a result. Every e.ise of tho sort

forms a nucleus of discouragement where itwill bo dilliciilt, if not impossible, to plantconfidence anew, ami thus tho business ofinsuring li vi1 becomes more* dilliciilt yearby year. Perhaps it would bave beenuseless to urge the consideration of this mat¬ter on our life insurance companies in theheyday of their prosperity, wheal every agentwho. waa gifud with a facile tongue couldbring in a handful of applications for policiesafter a week's canvassing. Hut now, when itis at best up-hill work to propagate the gos¬

pel of life insurance, it would seem to be a

measure of wisdom for some of the leadingcompanies to make a new bid for public favor.There is no surer method of obtaining an im¬mediate increase of business, with the cer¬

tainty of permanent satisfaction to all partiesconcerned, than in the issue of policieswhich aro definite in all their provisions;which state simply and squarely on their facethe amount of money which tho company willreturn to cancel the policy at tho end of eachyear. It is true that such a statement wouldgreatly snrprise many persons who now

imagino that companies can afford to returna large proportion of wbat they receive, andforget that the risk of lifo is something thatmust be paid for, like tho rink of fire. Hutif people understood life insurance better theywould take it moto willingly. As policies aro

now issued, the morality of the system isopen to doubt ; there is room for a questionof tho honesty of a bargain in which one ofthe parties is almost invariably deceived,

That was an agreeable item of Albany newswhich informed us that the recent Legislaturedeclined to make appropriations for tho print¬ing of the Hcports of the Agricultural andother societies. This significant No, utteredwith the euiphasiB of a largo majority, saves

to ibu tax-payers of the Stato at least $70,000,which, with a less senBiblo Senate, might havebeen to a great extent literally wasted. Weuse the word atlviseilly, for it isa truth patentto all disinterested persons who bavo glancedat these modern documenta that they are not,on tho whole, worth the cost of paper andbinding. A publisher who should assume theresponsibility of issuing even tho best of themwith the expectation of a return of his moneymight with excellent reason be considered in¬sane. Why matter of which this remark can

be justly made should be put in type and dis-soiiiinatrcd year after y«*ar for tho bonetitof the few at the cost of thu many isnot apparent. Theso Reporta, brought oatat tho tax-payers' expenso, aro alway« bulky,imnKVtely made bo for effect* they containmuch tiia-.lv k* ephuiumai, and tbe beat uí Uto

Society, which has probably boen printed in

each of the H __________which pMOSded the OM

with great pr.'cisiin and detail, ami are, we

may safely say, of trifling consequence save

ti» ih" few persons in whose hands the man¬

ag mi.nt of tho Society mainly rests. Theyan-, however, printed in largo type, with v«iy

Breqneni paragraphing and wide, spaces, andwith »ho evident purpose of making them

spnad over as much surface as possible.We come next to the report of tho treasurer,

which is twelve pages in length, and tiil.es a

the tax-burdened public to be assured, for in¬

Medina gentleman for "Billy, by Young 000>" sternal ion," and that Billy, who may havedied before the Keport was issued, was" brown"and " 11.1 ?" Or what shall it profit a man to

be assured, in double-leaded minion, that Mr.

Studley, whose address is given in full, got $'lfor his Domiuhpics, or that Schindler's, not

Schneider's, dog was " commended t" Is there

anything derating in the bare fact tliat Mr.Piiisman of Bchodock received a prize for a

"The Cul'ivation of the Beet for the Manu-'" facturo of Sugar" is a treatise 148 pageslong. Is it a record of valuable lessosohssand experiments conducted by the State So¬

ciety and thus first presented to the world TNot at all; it is a translation of Louis Walk-huffs " Practical Sugar Manufacturer and I.e-" finer." But why in the narnu of reason

should it be reprinted at publie cost andpalmed off as part of the " Transactions of"the New-York Stats Agricultural Society for" 1871 ?" Why also should 40 pages of l'rof.Voelcker bo copied from a former year'sReport of tho Bojnl Agricultural Society ofEngland Î The matter is valuablo withoutdoubt, but in what particular manner «Iocs itso directly concern the tax-payers of theEmpire state that they should be required to

ports of other local clubs 1 The Central Clubis an organization altogether independent ofthe Stato Society ; it has its own officers,makes its own laws, conducts its affairs in itsown way, and has its own records. Whyshould these bo clipped from the local paperand years afterward reappear in the " Trans-" actions of the New-York State Agricultural"SocietyI" The only explanation is that theSociety desired to make a show, to add onemore bulky volume at public cost to its pre¬vious long array, and having little material ofits own, it went abroad, so very much abroa«!indee«l that at least two foreign nations are

prominently represented. If the conductors ofthe Stato Society axe content with this show¬ing for themselves, that is their affair ; but itis matter for legitimate criticism when theyask for thousands of dollars of other people'smoney to pay for the printing of promiscuousselections, good in themselves, but tliree-f«>urthsof thom scarcely moro appropriately labeled as
