This arrangement recognizes the vtilitlity of
all that the Nieholls Legislature has done, and
the recognition and flnaJ establishment of Mr.
Nicholla RI Covet nor will inevitalily follow.
The Nieholls Legislature, to attest its sincerity
in the agreement, will to-day pledge Ihe stip
port of the people of Louisiana to tho
Southern policy of President Hares. Tins soin

Mr. William Smyth, late Acting Superin?
tendent of the insurance Department of this
State, is placed in a very had position
by the publication of a letter purport?
ing to have been written by him bud
Summer. It is addressed to Mr. Frost,
at that time President of the Continental
Life Insurance Company, and after reciting
the Bubetaace of a letter in which the Ohio
Superintendent of Insurance had ashed lor the
facts about the condition of the company,
Minds up by asking Mi. Protri whether he can
furnish data to stave off a threatened ex?
amination of the concern. At the period
when this letter purports to hure been written,
the air was life with rumora of the company's
troubles. The California Superintendent of
Insurance bad given these rumon definite
shape by publication, Tiny involved both the
condition <>f the company and the honesty
of ils officers. It now Rppears that ihe
Ohio Superintendent ???so called attention
tu them, The only c?ense that has ever been
offered for the neglect of our Stute Depart?
ment to examine thai company was thai Mr.
William Smyth, coming In charge unex?
pectedly) had nut been fully prepared for the
duties of Ihe Superintendent's office, and w is
ignorant of the condition of the company's
affaira. If thin letter provea genuine it v.iil
not only put such .in excuse out of the ques?
tion, but may also snuject the late Actii g
Superintendent to the charge of collusion with
the officers of the Continental Company in an
effort to deceive the public and swindle the
policy-holders.
THE LBADhRS OF Till: PARTY,
There ii a great deal of unprofitable specu?
lation as to the extent of the alleged conspir?
acy of Republican "lenders" to thwart the
Southern policy of President Hayes and bring
hack the Administration to the old standards
of Ls7_' and J^Ti. Unprofitable, find be?
cause there is no evidence thai any such con?
spiracy exists, and secondly because if it does
exist it is not a matter for alarm. It is ?ill
right for Congressmen and other persons in
political life to recommend the continuance of
the bayonet rule in Louisiana, If they believe
that course the best ; but we do not see that
the President im ? ?1 - their cooperation just at
present in carrying <?nt a policy which is
purely executive, and be is not a man to be
turned a>iih- from what be holds to he the
right path by the dread of their opposition.
Thev can only be formidable to him when
they give expression and force ti popular dis?
satisfaction. ?
We suspect that President Bayes seos a
truth not yet erldeut to the majority of our
statesmen and Journaliste: in the pr?sent con?
dition of American politics there are no party
leaders, A politician In thes,- days is a man
of consequence only when he follows the cur?
rent; when he is adroit in placing himself in
sympathy with popular ideas and wiabea;
when he knows ROW to ;:ive apt and striking
expression to things which everybody is think?
ing, and to aspirations, more or less distinct,
which move the In ?ills of th? people. Thi- is
not a time for leaden. It is in seasons of
groat moral excitement, like tho anti-slavery
era, that real leader-; arise, Now that the one
absorbing issue of our politics is the question
ut administrative reform, the multitude waits
for no voice to ?In er ?i <>u, no linger to paint
out the way. It moves forward as if by a
common Impulse, and the prudent politician
does his beet not t?> be hit behind.
The President and the people are together
in this Southern business, and whoever op
poses one must rcckofl With both. The lively
persona who are supposed to he getting up a
Republican opposition to the President are too
shrewd to be caught on the wrong side in a
contest of this sort, anil we expect to sec their
combinations soon tall to pieces,?if only i!>"
Southern Democrats are true to their pledges,
Till-: COMISO WAS.
Turkey baa spoken? clearly, boldly, and even
defiantly. Her reply to the 8vc points con?
tain! d in Count SchonvaloaTs addendum to the
protocol i? ?-imple and dignified; hut when she
comes to deal with the protocol itself bei (one
becomes sharp and almost ironical. She re?
minds the Powers of the Treaty of Paria, which
they have ignored without formally ahrogat
jpg,protosjtsagain I the protocol as ''destitute
"of all equity and consequently of all obliga
"tory character,'1 and appeals to the con?
science of the Cabinets which have attempted
to place her "in a humiliating position v,ith
"out example in the world." In fact, con?
sidering that the iiniolahi?ty of the Ottoman
sovereignty was guaranteed by the Treaty ol
Pahs, and that Turkey at once rejected the
infringement of it proponed by the Constanti?
nople Conference, no otherRuawer could have
been expect ?ri to the protocoL It may not l?c
prudent? under the circumstances; but, from
the Turkish point of vi, ?,, ii is ju.st, manly,

M W-YOBR M ALBANY.
Thi - week we shall probably know whether
New-York City is to derive any profit rrom the
Legislature ?>f 1*'T7. The session has now
reached a poinl when, if something ia nol done
very promptly, we aboil knowthal nothing is to be
done. Thoproapccl is certainly nol encouraging
foi any anbatantial benefit. With 120 bills to
patch and mend the local government of tbe
city of New-York, an abler and o more In?
dustrious. Legislature might well he puz/Jed
where to begin. Thus far the two
bouses have aucceeded only in getting
themselves Into a marl, from which it la
useless to hope thai they will wbollj escape.
A great many of th?se lulls doubtless ougbi
nol to )iiiss, foT they probably cover u?> joba
witb Hit lion's skin of reform. A great many
of them will nol pass ?nul the statute-book
will be spared this additional load. One of
them, however, will effect Immediate re?
forms, whirti it wonld seem to be the
pari of wisdom to scenic ::s speedily
as possible. Tlie Charter Commission's
amendments may still fail in tiii- Leaislature
or in the next, or may possibly anfiel defeat
ia some essential feature, when submitted to
the people, though we hope to see them paaa
all Lbreentagee successfully j bin the Omnibus
bill will pal some ?>l the most importan!
reforma embodied In these amendments into
actual operation al least one year before
they can be adopt d, and three years
before they can be adopted, if they shin:!,!
fail thi- Winter or next. If we mast choose
between the Omnibus bill and the amend?
ments, the Omnibus bill must goby tbe board;
luit we see no reason why Ihe L?gislature
should not approve of both, and show it- sin?
cerity by bestowing opon os at once by bill
the reforma which it propones to eatabliafa by
amendment.
An nnmiataknblc popular sentiment has mani?
fested it-scli In favor of this bul. Will the

have been raised amono: the office-holders to

TAXATION IE FRANCE
The second number of the statistical bulletin,
issued by the French Ministry of Finance, pre?
senta some very interesting facts reepecting
the growth of taxation iu that remarkable
country, the vast reaoarcea of wbicb have only
become known to the world by its capacity to
meet a war juice of unexampled barehneai
and to sustain a borden <?l taxes which would
have ?rushed a poorer people. Tbe receipts
from tax?e in France in 1809, setting aside
tboae from Alsace and Lorraine) the territory
since ce led to Germany, were '.i~>~> millions of
dnllara, the eetimatee voted for 1877 were
."?17 millions, an increase of 192 millions, or
51 per cent. The magnitude of this revenue
can be beat judged l?y comparison w.th thai
of other countriee. The total revenue of the
United states for the year ending Jane 30,
1ST?'', waa 284 millions of dollara. In 1800,
the y?;ir of our highest taxation, it was 520
million-. The revenues of Cnat Britain for
the last Bacal year were UK) millions; those of
the (?trmaii Empire, Including also the sepa?
rate budgeta of Proaaia, Saxony, Bavaria,
W?rtembarg, Baden, IJesee, and the minor
principalities, about :!-<? millions; tIn.-?- oi
Russia :'?'??<' millions ; ami those of th?- Aoatro
Hungarian Empire, 3 lo millions.
Oi increaaed French taxes 1192 millions of
dollars), th?' principal items have been, in
dirccl iixt^, 17 millions ; registration does, 22
million.; stampa, 13 millions; customs, 21
million.-,; excise, mi milliona; the remaining 32
millions being made up ol aundrj smaller items,
of this total addition, 150 millions ore wholh
lew tax?e, ami -1-J millions udilitio ? ?. t , old
??m -. Mu- n-iiiail able fact, as staled by the
Paria eoneepottdent of law tTeaaomfat, is that
"this enoroioaa augmentation iu tlie annual
"bordea of taxation i. borM without an\ a|i
" liaient effort, ami without Impairing the proa
"polity ol tin ?ti?!nt,. or ebecking the aeen
"inulation oi wialth?in line, without the j?eo
"fjlfj appeal fag any the woi-e loi it." Bofh
a n-nit could only happen in a conntrv
largely fXM fioin individual iiidchtcdiicss.
If th.- end of the I'lus.-dau war had
louiid the Fleuch people, aa the end of the
civil war found the people of thai I'nited
States, struggling under a load of personal
debts which nothing luit the inflated incomes
created tr/ a war demand and war paper prices
had enabled them previously to sustain, the
state of things iu Frame v.odd now lie
wholly different. Fortunately the Pruaaiaa
war was of very short duration; it never had
a blight side, even to the producers of war
material. It did not last long enough to
stimulate production, and the end of it came,
with its fearful penally, before the nation bad
r? eoVOred from its first shot k of surprise.
1 he spirit of personal sacrilice and of in?
dividual economy, which the beginnings of
war always call forth, was still dominant
when the nation set itself to the gigantic
task of paying a thousand millions of
<io!l.us out of ils accumulated savings by
mortgaging Ihe tutiire products of its industry.
The habits of the people were all favorable to
the n-siiinption of this new burden. It is esti?
mated that tint of the Preach earning popula?
tion OT'i! per cent lay by something every
year?such at least was the estimate before
the lala war. EVOR though the saving of
each entier was very little, the aggregate
accumulation of the receivers of wages or in?
come of ?10,000.000 of people is very great
and futiii-hes the means of supporting veiv
heavy taxes. Another important feature of
the French situation is that ihe industries of
the country were not seriously disturbed by the
war, The territory occupied by the German
armies, except AJaace and Lorraine, is not the
seat of its principal manufaelures, but rather
of its agriculture. The Northern provinces
bordering tm Belgium, and that hive of in?
dustry, the ruHcy of the Beine, wore un?
disturbed by the invader. The produc?
tion of France, therefore, Rever stopped ;
and there is iu that country no parallel to the
widespread demoralization which baa stinken
with barrenness so large a sect ion of our
Southern Slates. France too had no social
revolution to retard the recovery and prevent
?he increase of it producing power.
We uoW| therefore, witness this singular
spectacle?-thatof ail the countries of Europe,
Prance, the vanquished nation, has enjoyed
the steadiest prosperity; while Germany, the
vicioi, drunken and debouched by the spoils
of war, has, utter a brief period of excited
sp?culation, lapsed into a st lie of prolonged
mid helpless crisis. Such are the eurioua and
Instructive tessons ot history I
A SOLD ///.'.'?? HOME.
The meeting in aid of the project fora Sol?
di.:-' linine in this State, of which we have
already spoken, is to be held to-morrow even?
Ing at ?li" Academy of Music. It promises to
be a successful and Interesting affair, and we
venture to predict that most of those who at?
tend it will hear some things thai will sur?
prise them. There is an Impression, so com?
mon that we may almost call it general, that
?he disabled soldiers of the Union ?ne already
provided for. This is a dreadful mistake. The
lour National Homes have accommodations
for only a small proportion of those who need
relief,?the men who became disabled in con?
sequence of their service dining the war, ami
yet under such conditions that they are not
entitled to pensions. Other Slates have taken

REsrOSSIBILIT? OF ISS-BOLDERS.
We are glad lo learn that in one of the
largest anil most frequented hotels t?!' this city
extraordinary precautions against Ore and its
attendant dangers have been taken since the
St, Louis catastrophe. This |g an example lo
be followed by other public homes, if n has
not Ixen so already. The details of the tii"
at the Southern Hotel, as they gradually reach
u , are very irritating. What ?He we to say of
"?t pi!?- of msttresseg in one cornel of the
wStoreroom, With a lot of loose hair, and
"about Ave feet from these, on the floor, a box
" in which the siock of matches was kept .'"
\\ hat ate '?ve lo say of ihe fact thai the hotel
was known to be on lire for about half an
hour before any alarm WRS given, m the fact
notified to the Lire Department, the servants
being engaged in a clumsy and fruitions nt
tempt to extinguish the flames? Another
point now developed is that where there Rig
elevators the lodgers in a hotel know scarcely
RUything of the means of exil, or of the posi?
tion of the staircases, so thai their arraii'-e
ment should be a, plain and as little Irregular
as possible,
Tiie lailway companies are In hi to a strict
Recount. It is now well onderatood that they
are responsible for the negligence or RlistRkea
of their servants, ami that in all their arrange
monta they aie boaad to exercise extraor?
dinary care for the safety of travelers. It may
not be generally comprehended that the law
is quite ?is strict in regard to the responsibility
of Inn-holders. It may seem harsh to say so,
but it is the truth, that every person injured
by the St. Louis lire, either in person or in
property, has good cause of action sgainst the
owners and the keepers of the hotel, if gross
negligence can be shown either in the con?
struction of the edifice, in the economy of the
e- labllshment, or opon the pari of the servants.
Tin- whole business of a hotel is a DURUM ss of
contract. In consideration of a ci rtain sum of
money paid, or to be paid, the keeper of the
bouse undertakes .among other thinga to lodge
travelers, lie is bound to Use t xtraordinury care
to preserve them from bodily injurj and to
prevent them from being robbed of their
effects. The h.ti.r duty is well enough linder?
st.i, but the former resta upon preciselj the
same principle of law. if the house is during
lid' Right blown down by a hurricane, and a
lodger injured, he raffen by a naitatioa of
(?".I. and h: s no h -.il leiaetly, unle>s it ORO he
shown that the building was weakly and care
le--ly constructed. Oh the other hand, if the
bouse be burned through carelessness, or if the
means of exit provided for such emergency
have boon grossly in-ullicient, ami not such RI
c\pt ti ROS has proved to be necessary, any
person rafaVriag thereby may have his action.
I'liipiiMioiiably, the fi.tpuiicy with which suf?
fi it is by railway di.iastt rs have resorted to
the law for redress has had the elicit of
diminishing their number, ?nd a similar
jaluuity un the p.ut o? thORO injured by the
bttrntng ?if hotels nii^ht havn an equally good
influence.
