T" ;x IS TItfE MONEY?
FrJnthe X. I. Time
It is one of the trfViitions of the Elders
fliat time ia money. If bo., can any one tell
Hhy all the trains of our railway corporations,
Kith double traekn, nro not through trains ?
Why does any train stop except for wood or
tonl and water ? Why not mn a car or train
lietween, any point and every other point on
the road as the necoHsitiea of travel may re
quire ? No doubt there are reasons, or there
would now be no occasion to ask the question.
Hut have the railway companies reduced the
number of their stoppages as much as the-
ought to have done "f
Let us take the Hudson River Railway.
Vliy should not a separate locomotive or
system of locomotives serve Mauhattanvillo,
another Yonkers, another Hastings, and so
on to Albany ? If it is remunerative to run
horse-cars to Manhattauville as it is, why
not to run steam cars ? And why should not
the people at each place have just what ser
vice they require, be it more or less fre
quent, without subjecting them to any lossof
time in waiting at different stations for cars
to load and unload ?
For places yielding a comparatively small
number of passongers, light locomotives
should be constructed, adapted to the trans
portation of one, two, or three ordinary cars.
A Mr. Fairlio, of London, has contrived a
combined engine and carriage weighing
but thirteen and a half tons empty, capable
of seating sixty-six persons, which whisks
around the Hatcham "Cabbage Garden" at
the rate of thirty miles an hour. Compare
the wear and tear to a road, of such a "team"
with that of an ordinary locomotive on the
Hudson or Erie roads, weighing from sixty to
eighty tons, and drawing twelve or fit teen
cars at the same speed. Compare, too, the
other expenses of fuel, men, repairs, etc.
Now, if time is money, why do we not have
sonio of these light cars put on when larger
ones are not required, to run frequently and
Without stopping? What gives the value to
n railway over a common road is the economy
of time it secures. Why should five or six
hundred people be kept an hour longer than
is necessary, on the way from New York to
Albany, to take up and sot down passengers?
l?y so much unnecessary time as is ex
pended in the journey from the terminal
cities, by so much is the territory circum
scribed from which the road can levy its con
tributions of passengers oud freight. If it
takes two hours to go to Fishkill, nil who
mast live within two hours of the city have
to reside at or below that point. If Fough
keepsie can be reached in two hours, of course
this addition to the area served is very im
portant, both to the public and to the com
pany. Why is so natural and obvious a
means of securing this addition neglected?
Mil. GllEELEY FOR THE CELESTIAL
EMPIRE.
From the X. Y. Sun.
Governor Seward rendered such great ser
vices to the Republican party, that he be
lieved it ought to have elevated him to the
Presidency. So deep are his convictions on
this subject, that the holding of the seals of
the State Department during the eight most
eventful years in our history has not consoled
him for this disappointment.
If this be true of Governor Seward, what
may not be said of the Hon. Horace Greeley ?
His services to the Republican party are not
surpassed by those of Governor Seward. For
eight years that party has ruled the country,
and for thirteen years, with brief exceptions,
it has controlled this State. And yet, with
hands full of offices and honors, it has given
nothing to Mr. Greeley, nor even offered him
anything except an inspectorship on the Pa
cific Railroad. That position was so far below
bis deserts, and so unworthy of his fame, that
he very properly declined it.
It is perhaps too 60on to talk of Mr. Gree
ley for the Presidency. Rut there is an office
in the gift of the administration which he is
admirably fitted to fill. The mission to China
is vacant. Our relations with that country,
always peculiar, are growing more and more
important and complicated day by day. Mr.
Greeley, with his grasp of mind, cleuruess of
vision, originality of views, and fertility of
resources, should be assigned, in the interests
of American commerce and modern civiliza
tion, to cultivate this extraordinary diploma
tic field.
Mr. Greeley is not the man to go sidling
around Washington to urge upon General
Grant and Secretary Fish his claims to official
reeognion. Like Samuel Johnson, the great
English moralist of the last century, our
American philosopher is doggedly independ
ent. Earl Bute had to soothe the proud lexi
cographer and essayist to induce him
to accept the pension which he so
much needed, while the Universities of Dub
lin and Oxford did not dare to consult him
before conferring upon him the degree of
Doctor of Laws, which he had so long coveted.
With this example before them, lot the
administration, then, without waiting even
to confer with Mr. Greeley, honor them
selves, and make up for some of their aston
ishing blunders by promptly tendering
him the mission to the Celestial Empire.
NAPOLEON TO THE VICEROY PEACE
ON ANY TERMS.
From tin X. Y. Herald.
We have the news from London that the
Khedive or Viceroy of Egypt has promptly
telegraphed to Constantinople his assent to
the severe conditions of the Sultan, military,
financial, and tributary, insisted on in the
recent ominous letter of the Sultan, thus
leaving no excuse for any hostile action on
his part. At the same time the Khedive was on
Lis way to the Sultan, to make assurance
doubly sure. This of itself would simply
signify that Ismail Pasha is not in a position
to defy the Sultan; but it means much more
in connection with what follows. It appears
that the 1' rench Minister at Constantinople
had telegraphed the main points of the Sul
tan's letter to the Khedive before he reached
Alexandria, at the same time urgently ad
Vising him to submit to its terms.
From thin we perceive that Napoleon de
sires peace for the present between the Sultan
and tbo Viceroy, however offensive to the
latter the terms may be. And why ? Rocause,
it mav be said. Napoleon is apprehensive that
a rupture between Turkey and Egypt at this
would not only involve all the great
European powers, but might be followed by
serious internal embarrassments in France.
All Kiich coniectures. however, touching this
Vmmtian nnestion are trifles to Napoleon now
.mniinred with the very delicate question of
Lis health,' and the crisis which his death may
.inn nnnn France. It is doubtless in view
r i,iu ivKKibla crisis that the Emperor of all
' Lings desires peace with his neighbors and
Vace on the Eastern question. Ho wishes to
reserve his strength intact for the conflict
Vith the radical republicans of France and all
tbo factions oppoRod to the
this ndvion of thfl French
empire. Hence

IMPERIALISM SICK.
From th$ X- Tribune.
In tbrf news that Napoleon is getting bolter
tbo ureconcilable enemies of imperialism
yr find occasion to lament that Franco is to
vnat extent gTowing worse. But we are not
even now prepared to accept a report which
comes to us hot from a panic in the money
market, and which in several guarded shapes
conveys still a doubt that bids us reasonably
fear for the life of the French monarchy.
Nnpoleon at more than sixty years of ago,
worn with tbo consuming cares of empire,
and with a subtle disease, is still sick, it may
be unto death. The world is thoroughly
forewarned that at any day one of its greatest
actors may pass out of its scene with moro
fatal circumstances of catastrophe than when
he entered it. Napoleon sick is to present
appearances the empire dying; and the panic
of the Bourse, the call of his Empress and
child to his bedside, and the lato signal and
rocket-like expressions of Prince Napoleon in
the form of liberalism, all more or less point
the moral that emperors and empires are sub
ject to the final discrowning.
Yet it might prove unseemly to pray for or
to exult in what appears to be the impending
calamity of Nnpoleonism. We sot too high
an estimate on the Emperor's value to the ex
isting economy of France, false as it is as a
system, mortally pernicious as it must prove
if carried to the Imperial extreme, to view
with anything but solemn seriousness his
withdrawal from work which, whether ill or
well done, has had the sufleranco of one of
the most revolutionary peoplo in the world,
and has tasked the intellect and energy
of one of the most astute and vigorous
political students and workers of his time.
Napoleon obeyed too manifest a call, and in
some respects a necessity, unrighteous
though that necessity may have been, to bo
set aside in history as merely a charlatan with
a crown upon his head. After all, ho repre
sented the aspirations of a large number of
t renetmien, and has held power not so much
by his own strength as by the strength of tho
fact that his Government stood for the impor-
iecnon oi me people.
mo doctrine oi his me is summed up in
his published conceptions of the representa
tive nature of tho C;esariau or Napoleonic
principle. If ho has made this principle the
basis of a code and a creed, so has France in
a great measure: and now that fate warns him
that his work will soon bo over, let us be
ready to acknowledge that, bail as any per
petuated principle ot JSapoIeonism must bo,
and hateful as in some points of view the
rule ot tho last Napoleon must seem to im
patient patriots, he might have mado a worse
monarch, and left a poorer France. If he
had not heart, the world may thank him for
having had inteflect. When ho dies it is
probable that something of Franco will die
with him, and for this paramount reason his
death will be anything but a personal evont
THE FUTURE OF FREE LOVE.
From the X. Y. World.
An article published some time ago in tho
W orld, on the apparent increase of laxity in
marriage and facility in divorce, has stirred
up a paper in Chicago which purports to de
vote itself to "Literature, the bpintuaf Phi
losophy, and Woman's Independence," and
which does, in fact, dovoto itself mainly to
tho latter, to copy and comment upon the
same.
This paper is the Universe, and is of itself
one of the most significant symptoms of tho
state of things upon which wo remarked. It
is a sort of vent for the grumblings of all
tho discontented husbands and wives in the
West, and discusses social topics with such
extreme freedom that two daily papers
even of Chicago have been constrained to call
it "nasty." And nasty, according to old
fashioned notions, it unquestionably is. But
the peculiarity of it, and its valuo as a sign of
the times, appear to be that it is not nasty in
'motif. The men and women who write for it
do not seem to be aware that they are doing
anything improper in publishing what they
must have learned in the utmost privacy of
their domestic lives. They are naked, and
not ashamed. Before the fall this sort of thing
was innocence. But now, most people, even
including tho pachydermatous journalists of
Chicago, will take it tor pruriency.
That most wives have occasional disagroo-
nbilities to put up with at the hands of their
husbands; that many men, and possibly some
women, chafe under the connubial bonds
which the present system of things imposes
and long for a larger license, and even the
unlimited license which has come to be called
"Free Love," all this is no new thing. The
wonder is that such people should rush into
print with their grievances, and glory in what
a generation ago public opinion would have
forced them to consider as their shame
"Whether the new order of things which is
to be evolved from this crisis, miotn the
paper in question, "will bo no legal rocogni-
tion of sexual union whatever, or a system oi
purely civil marriage, wherein divorce is at
tainable at little cost oi timo or convenience,
it is certain that some kind of reconstruction
is to come."
What the chances are of a radical change
in the prevailing practice, the World has
heretofore expressed Us opinion, liut it is
certain that the gainers by any change which
is likely to bo made will not be the women
who are foremost in the advocacy oi sucn a
change by way of relief from tho tyranny of
brutal husbands, but the brutal husbands
themselves. The direction which a change is
most likely to take is pointed out in the book
which a Boston clergyman has lately written
in praise of polygamy. A London review has
been shocking all England by contrasting the
morais oi that capital with tho morals ot Lion-
staniinopie to the disadvantage of the tormer.
nun nuuwiujj mai me same multiplicity oi
wives practically obtains in Lendon that theo
retically obtains in Constantinople. The dif
ference is that in Turkey the female victims
of polygamy have a recognized status, and
that in England they have none.
A Turk is compelled to support his wives
and treat them decently in outward respects,
whereas an Englishman may discard his mis
tress at will, and she has no redress. The
nvt.l iil....; 11.-1 ii ,i .1 ;r - e
effect of an increased facility of divorce, or of
the legal establishment of polygamy in this
country, would be only to muko the lot of
ftbnsed wives worse. A woman would per
haps be tolerably secure of her husband's
favor while she remained young and comely;
but the sort of man who now tyrunuizes over
her would, in that case, take her for better
and not for worse, for riebor and not for
poorer, in health and not in sieknoss, and be
eager to Blip the conjugal collar on the ap
peunmce of sickncBH, or of fading beauty,
or of old age. Law and public opinion
combine to prevent him from doing that now.
But in the millennium to which these be
nichtcd females look forward to end their
woes, law and puMio opinion would notii
Mipport him in it. The millionaire who now
maintains mistresses would in that case mrtKo
wives of them, if polygamy were permitted,
and we can suppose public opinion were so
far relaxed as to allow it; or, it not, woum
take tho occasion of any temporary "tiff" to
muster out his old wife and muster in a new
one. If such a complete revulsion of public
feeling as would allow this sort of thing to be
done without disrepute can be imagined, the
vomit? nnd tirettv women might be no worse
oil in material respects than now, out iuu
ngnd and uncomely would go to the wall. Let
us not force ourselves even to fancy this
wofnl condition of society, if, in addition to
the mediieval maids and widows who now
alllict the race of men, a countless array of
divorced women were periodically let looso by
the courts to prey upon us.
Tho truth is that these theorists leave out
of view, in their speculations upon marriage,
precisolv the essential element in it. Tho
frequency of divorce suits, even in States
where the marriage tie is tightest, and de
spite the social Btigma that is put upon tho
parties to such suits, shows that atloction
cannot be legislated into people. Tho hope
of society, nnd the defense of society against
tho exotic maniacs who wish to tear down tho
whole social fabric because their own littlo
corner of it has been mado unpleasant by
their own misconduct, or somebody elso's, is
that it cannot be legislated out of thorn. If
all legal restrictions were removed to-morrow,
we hope and believe that tho vast majority
of wedded couples would forbear to unwed
themselves. So inextinguishable is a real
attachment, and so potent is habit, that, in a
large number of cases, couples whose quarrels
have culminated in divorces have found it
impossible to get on by themselves, and have
been remarried; and doubtless nothing but
an obstinate prido about taking the initiative
restrains many couples more from doing tho
same thing. The sentiment in favor of tho
existing marriago is immeasurably stronger
and deeper, though very much less noisy,
than the sentiment against it. If ever mar
riage is seriously endangered, that sentiment
will show itself. And, at the headlong rate
at which the free-lovers are going, the only
effect of their labors will bo to provoke a re
action which will result in increasing the
stringency of the marriage bond.
