We have fallen upon evil times iudoed when mon like Pickets and Maddox cannot infuso their high piorality and strict notions of-duty into a transaction partly commercial and partly politi¬ cal without being suspected of aclflsh motives. In addition to l'ickett and Maihlox we have, a Democratic Slat«* Senator who in the Inter¬ ests of forty millions of people.to say mith¬ in« of Tilden and Reform.ottered $200,000 to one of the .Returning Hoard for the vote of the State. He too waa ftctlng on broad moral grounds- no doubt. The behavior of Mr. Field toward (¡on. Anderson, ¡the member of the Ketiiming Board who allowed himself to bo approached in this manner, was very manly and cour¬ ageous. Mr. Field, being himself a man who novor permitted a disreputable person to approach him with a retainer, and who woald shrink from tho thought of ro- ceiviag money dishonestly obtained, pur¬ sued tho witness in u way peculiarly his own, showing very clearly that the odium of the trans'.olion belonged to the Republican per¬ son who refUaed Ihe bribe, and not by any .nenas to the Deanoeratie pomes who (¡noted it. ¡Mr. Field Ift doing excellent service in the cause of political morality. Ho is irradiiallv but surely establishing (lie fact that the man who is approached with a bribe and refuaes it is a scoundrel. Tho next step wfll Im> to establish that the man who oilers a bribe in the interests of reform is a praiseworthy per¬ son ami a sincere patriot. (OS Tl SI ED SCSI'ES SE. Wo have had another week of rumors and cordednies, moro or loss contradictory, in re¬ gard to the Kastern Question. The single point among them all which is very probable, if not entirely certain, is that the Ottosaaa Govern¬ ment is making eflbrta tt» conclude pe¡»<*o with Sei via and Montenegro, as a defense in flank sgaiaol Russia Whether the terms reported are those which ¡no actually ander discussion, or whether the negotiations have proceeded no further than tentatives ob both aldea, the move¬ ment is so obviously dictated by the b».tercets of Turkey, as the next and necessary step in this crisis of lier allairs, that we caiimft doubt it has been already made. Its success will de¬ pend on the power of the Government to change it- attitude, and adopt a tone toward Bervia and Montenegro as forbearing and con¬ ciliatory as it has recently boon haughty and déliant toward the Kurnpcan Powers. This is evidently the nest problem to be solved. The hesitating policy of linssii mn.-t have materially weakened her influence over the Servian Government and the Bulgarian Christians] and the present uncertainty mast be almost intolerable to a people who have Buffered so much already. UnleM Servia sees an immediate prospect of aid from Uus-ia she will have no alternative but to accept the best toi ms she can g»-t, and conclude peaee with Tin key. Kven should war be declared in tin sprint;, she will then bo very well content to observe a stiict neutrality, and see her battles fought by proxy. There acema to he little doubl that something will 1m» conceded to Montenegro, and ii treaty of peace with that little Stale may soon be expected. Tin key still remains master of the situation. Her unexpected pluck has cut through tne painfully-woven net of European diplomacy. Her most determined antagonist atendí ¡is if bewibli red, and seems to shrink from lifting the gage Of battle she IBB so boldly Hang down. A hesitation so prolonged is almost the equivalent ot defeat. In n few weeks it will bo possible to begin military operations in the region south of the Danube, ami if liu-sia still means fo accept wir, it is qotte time she should prepare for it. Wo shall, therefore, Verj soon know her mood, even without any explicit declaration on her part. If her iny is not iu an efficient condition, if her credit is impaired, and the ardent sympathies of her people have' cooled down, she may very w»*ll prefer B mural humiliation to the difiicultics aad aaerifiecs of war. lint how long will the spirit of Turkey, which has flickered up so briffbtly «riten it eeecaed to bo dying in the MCketi .>«' abb* to burn ? Y M FOEAl TIME. Bines the adoption ot uniform time through¬ out (iront Britain, the doubts th.it wore ex- preased as to the utility of tho measure have wholly passed away. F very when« throughout the United Kingdom tbe time shown by clocks ¡md v*.¡(tobes, if correct, is iin» of Greenwich Observatory. No complaints ate hoard against the system ; it seems to have completely won popular approval. People have already forgotten that cadi locality haa a different time of its own, and the " rising genera« "lion" will probably «row up without any thought on the suhjeet. One of the re¬ sults has been a far greater accuracy 'than was ever before attained iii the time generally shown by publie clocks. Hence, of ( MUSO, there la a noteworthy Improvement in the purictuality with which busy mon can hoop their appoint¬ ments. Several recent BUCCessful s»:its against railway -companies for extra expenses ¡md loss occasioned by failure of trains to run accord¬ ing to schedule, show that Englishmen are inoro than over before attentive to tho dock dial. Sir William Thomson, who has mot with great success in contriving astronomical time- pieces, described not long ago before l aeteatifle m*.(tinganow clock that he iseonatroctuig. He expects to malte it run so accurately that it' will not show irregularities amounting to as much as one-tooth of those of tlie best astro¬ nomical clock-« that have yet boon made. Con- trivaneea for securing uniformity with Green¬ wich time for ordinary clocks are now greatly in favor in Knglatnl, and within a few weeks one of the new devices has obtained wide Botica in the London newspaper*. Alexander Bain, oalohrated as the inventor of the electro-chemical telegraph, was among tin* lln-t to devint a ini'thod of controlling a number of clucks by ajoetrieity, so that their time, should In- uniform. Ho died in poverty at the ilium* for Incurables, near (¿lasgow, a month ago; a small pension from the Brit¬ ish (ioveinmeiit having barely saved him from utter wint. In the Hain sy-nu-m for olcirio «locks tho whole move¬ ment of the cluck machinery waa effect- ed by the buttery encrent. This* wan noon improved upon, by what is known the doues system, in which UM motion of the pendulum alone is controlled hy el« .*,tricity. It is admitted that both these methotls are bsOOt with dilliciilties in practice, hut the Jonea «.>¦*- tern hau h«>e.n much |gtd in Kngland. In this country attention has heen more din-ctetl to the simple communie .tmn of time signals hy electfidty. The late Prof. JoOOph WiidiK-k devised a mode for sending such signals from tho obiMTvatory «)f Harvard Uni¬ versity; and t lis» railroad.*« <-.'iit«'ring in Boston, many jewelers there, ami tho Aim-ricHn Wateh »Company at Waltham, obtained stand¬ ard time by such signala. The Dudley OI>- i.«»rvaloiy at Alhany Ii.ih adopted a dillerent system to attain similar results. The dithr- ence can lie hrielly Stated. A teh-eruphir " UMSder1' is introduced, in the Harvard sys¬ tem, into the electric current upon the onli- nary telegraph wires; th«> " KOiimletnbeingaetil- ated hy Um pec^nlnmoftbeohoervatscyehMk. At ev«rry two beats of the SOOOnOV pendulum, a click ««f the magnet is heard, except thai overy r>Hth second is omitted. It follows that the next click is the «tart of a new minute. There is also n mnoh longer break OVOTy five minutes. The method of the Dudley Observ- a tory consists In tending signals during only ten seconds twice every hour. One syst«m oc- cupies the wires coiitinuously,*and fufQ.ihm liment ai:y minute ; the other require*! very little uso of the wires, und semis only occa¬ sional signals. The new «levic«* that is meeting favor in Kiiglaml, OOUtfOls all the docks in BOO« neetion with the standard timepiece, sntomsti «.ally. A ourrow slit, eut in th<- «liai of a dock, admin two projecting pins. When the minute hand passing this slot, the pins, moved by a magnet, full into the .shit, seize the minute hand and bring it to true time, and then re¬ lease it. The magnet at the moment of this peí formalice hau been char_*v«l by an deetrie current from the étendard clock at (lieenwich. The l'ost-Ollice authorities, who control Um telegraph in Cheat Britain, have granted the use of wires for this s.vstiin. The Hankers' (.h-aring-hoiiso was among the Hr-t to adopt it, needing some means to be assured of precis«' time, since numerous disputes had previously arisen as to whether largo payments WON mods punctually within the minute. A general adoption of the device by railways Süd other public eottcerns is conliil«ntly.*pre- dicted. The advantages of uniform time are so mani¬ fest that Croquent .oggestions have boon put forth with a VÍOW to sont«- syst«'in of the Kn- glish sort in this country. Sev«>r;il of our nil- way accidents have been traced to confusion as to the time used on different lilies, or bc- -tween the local time and finit of the railroad. innumerable instances happen every year of travelers missing fhirir trains through mistake concerning the time used upon a rood. The advertised time-tables are usually a sail puzsle in this particular. It is absdutely bo- possiblfi. for instance, after a day's visit in many of our Western towns, to learn with certainty from th«> local newspapers the tune to take a train. The railway schedules are advertised« indeed, but iu three cas«*« out of four they do not indicate whether the time they name is that of the locality or of the railroad. To add to the confusion, some of the towns on the line of a railway adopt the railway time, while others do imt. At liuííalo one of the hotels keeps its docks set by New-York city time. The New-Yorker who itepS into the waiting-room at the foot of Corllamlt-st. is humiliated to And that thnii ;h his foot may be still on his native heath, he is construí-tively in Philadelphia, 00- cording to Um doeh before him; and this is only ¡i beginning of bis trouble if lu- travels about much and sets his watch occasionally. It is comparatively easy in ii small country like Great Britain to accept the time of one place OS the standard for all. The chain:«* is al most a mottet of a lew minutes, lint to attempt it here WOaid refluiré almost a revolu¬ tion of ordinary ideas. On shipboard, in the navy, it is never noon until the captain «In¬ dares it lo>* If Washington time were au- thoritativdy sdoptod throughout the Doited States, it would bo noon ¡it San Francisco by order of the l'residen| and CoUgTOOB ¡ilM»ut .»'o'clock in the morning. We lu>ar a great deal about the capacity of Américain* for adopting themselves to circumstances; but siiili a change as that would strain most SOB Fraiioi-<*un tennpen beyond the limit of elas¬ ticity. We may be p<>i!nitt<»d to doubt if the probh m will ever b<> solv«>d exactly in I hat way. Bllt most of th«> ndvsuteges Of uniform tim«> eonld bo ssenrod by a limpie device, whenever plans for transmitting Washington time throughout the country shall be matured, Publie dodu could «'¡isily be made to show Washington time an well.as local time, by additional hands, which might be more slender «>t* of a «liil'e rent color from the others. On this sitie of the Alh'ghanies, only a minute- hand would need to be added. Ones fixed at the proper distance from the other hand*., the new hands would never need changing. This device would sonn familiarize people with the notion of Washington time, and many persons would, no doubt, have a similar addition made to their watch«'s. As soon ns the new time beCOOM popular, the railioad companies would have to adopt it in their ad¬ vertisement*-, ami rhaps would substitute it entirelj for the present nystom «>f con fusion.

gentlemen aro pompolled in self-defense to

transaction partly commercial and partly politi¬cal without being suspected of aclflsh motives.

In addition to l'ickett and Maihlox we have,a Democratic Slat«* Senator who in the Inter¬ests of forty millions of people.to say mith¬in« of Tilden and Reform.ottered $200,000to one of the .Returning Hoard for

the vote of the State. He too waa

ftctlng on broad moral grounds- no doubt.The behavior of Mr. Field toward(¡on. Anderson, ¡the member of the KetiimingBoard who allowed himself to bo approachedin this manner, was very manly and cour¬

ageous. Mr. Field, being himself a man whonovor permitted a disreputable person to

approach him with a retainer, and whowoald shrink from tho thought of ro-

ceiviag money dishonestly obtained, pur¬sued tho witness in u way peculiarly his own,

showing very clearly that the odium of thetrans'.olion belonged to the Republican per¬son who refUaed Ihe bribe, and not by any.nenas to the Deanoeratie pomes who (¡noted

who is approached with a bribe and refuaes it

is a scoundrel. Tho next step wfll Im> to

establish that the man who oilers a bribe inthe interests of reform is a praiseworthy per¬son ami a sincere patriot.

(OS Tl SI ED SCSI'ES SE.Wo have had another week of rumors and

cordednies, moro or loss contradictory, in re¬

gard to the Kastern Question. The single pointamong them all which is very probable, if not

entirely certain, is that the Ottosaaa Govern¬ment is making eflbrta tt» conclude pe¡»<*o withSei via and Montenegro, as a defense in flanksgaiaol Russia Whether the terms reported are

those which ¡no actually ander discussion, orwhether the negotiations have proceeded no

further than tentatives ob both aldea, the move¬

ment is so obviously dictated by the b».tercetsof Turkey, as the next and necessary step inthis crisis of lier allairs, that we caiimft doubtit has been already made. Its success will de¬pend on the power of the Government tochange it- attitude, and adopt a tone towardBervia and Montenegro as forbearing and con¬

ciliatory as it has recently boon haughty anddéliant toward the Kurnpcan Powers.This is evidently the nest problem to be

solved. The hesitating policy of linssii mn.-thave materially weakened her influence over

the Servian Government and the BulgarianChristians] and the present uncertainty mastbe almost intolerable to a people who haveBuffered so much already. UnleM Servia sees

an immediate prospect of aid from Uus-ia shewill have no alternative but to accept the besttoi ms she can g»-t, and conclude peaee withTin key. Kven should war be declared in tinsprint;, she will then bo very well content to

observe a stiict neutrality, and see her battlesfought by proxy. There acema to he littledoubl that something will 1m» conceded toMontenegro, and ii treaty of peace with thatlittle Stale may soon be expected.Tin key still remains master of the situation.

Her unexpected pluck has cut through tnepainfully-woven net of European diplomacy.Her most determined antagonist atendí ¡is ifbewibli red, and seems to shrink from liftingthe gage Of battle she IBB so boldly Hangdown. A hesitation so prolonged is almost the

equivalent ot defeat. In n few weeks it willbo possible to begin military operations in theregion south of the Danube, ami if liu-sia stillmeans fo accept wir, it is qotte time sheshould prepare for it. Wo shall, therefore,Verj soon know her mood, even without anyexplicit declaration on her part. If her aï inyis not iu an efficient condition, if her credit isimpaired, and the ardent sympathies of herpeople have' cooled down, she may very w»*llprefer B mural humiliation to the difiiculticsaad aaerifiecs of war. lint how long will thespirit of Turkey, which has flickered up so

briffbtly «riten it eeecaed to bo dying in theMCketi .>«' abb* to burn ?

YM FOEAl TIME.Bines the adoption ot uniform time through¬

out (iront Britain, the doubts th.it wore ex-

preased as to the utility of tho measure havewholly passed away. F very when« throughoutthe United Kingdom tbe time shown by clocks¡md v*.¡(tobes, if correct, is iin» of GreenwichObservatory. No complaints ate hoard againstthe system ; it seems to have completelywon popular approval. People have alreadyforgotten that cadi locality haa a differenttime of its own, and the " rising genera«"lion" will probably «row up without anythought on the suhjeet. One of the re¬sults has been a far greater accuracy 'thanwas ever before attained iii the time generallyshown by publie clocks. Hence, of ( MUSO, therela a noteworthy Improvement in the purictualitywith which busy mon can hoop their appoint¬ments. Several recent BUCCessful s»:its againstrailway -companies for extra expenses ¡md lossoccasioned by failure of trains to run accord¬ing to schedule, show that Englishmen are inoro

than over before attentive to tho dock dial.Sir William Thomson, who has mot withgreat success in contriving astronomical time-pieces, described not long ago before l aeteatiflem*.(tinganow clock that he iseonatroctuig. Heexpects to malte it run so accurately that it'will not show irregularities amounting to as

much as one-tooth of those of tlie best astro¬nomical clock-« that have yet boon made. Con-trivaneea for securing uniformity with Green¬wich time for ordinary clocks are now greatlyin favor in Knglatnl, and within a few weeksone of the new devices has obtained wideBotica in the London newspaper*.Alexander Bain, oalohrated as the inventor

of the electro-chemical telegraph, was amongtin* lln-t to devint a ini'thod of controlling a

number of clucks by ajoetrieity, so that theirtime, should In- uniform. Ho died in povertyat the ilium* for Incurables, near (¿lasgow, a

month ago; a small pension from the Brit¬ish (ioveinmeiit having barely saved himfrom utter wint. In the Hain sy-nu-mfor olcirio «locks tho whole move¬

ment of the cluck machinery waa effect-

ed by the buttery encrent. This* wan

noon improved upon, by what is known a« thedoues system, in which UM motion of thependulum alone is controlled hy el« .*,tricity. Itis admitted that both these methotls are bsOOtwith dilliciilties in practice, hut the Jonea «.>¦*-

tern hau h«>e.n much |gtd in Kngland. In thiscountry attention has heen more din-ctetl to

the simple communie .tmn of time signals hyelectfidty. The late Prof. JoOOph WiidiK-kdevised a mode for sending such signalsfrom tho obiMTvatory «)f Harvard Uni¬versity; and t lis» railroad.*« <-.'iit«'ring inBoston, many jewelers there, ami tho Aim-ricHnWateh »Company at Waltham, obtained stand¬ard time by such signala. The Dudley OI>-

i.«»rvaloiy at Alhany Ii.ih adopted a dillerentsystem to attain similar results. The dithr-ence can lie hrielly Stated. A teh-eruphir" UMSder1' is introduced, in the Harvard sys¬tem, into the electric current upon the onli-nary telegraph wires; th«> " KOiimletnbeingaetil-ated hy Um pec^nlnmoftbeohoervatscyehMk.At ev«rry two beats of the SOOOnOV pendulum,a click ««f the magnet is heard, except thaiovery r>Hth second is omitted. It follows thatthe next click is the «tart of a new minute.There is also n mnoh longer break OVOTy fiveminutes. The method of the Dudley Observ-a tory consists In tending signals during onlyten seconds twice every hour. One syst«m oc-

cupies the wires coiitinuously,*and fufQ.ihmliment ai:y minute ; the other require*! verylittle uso of the wires, und semis only occa¬

sional signals. The new «levic«* that is meetingfavor in Kiiglaml, OOUtfOls all the docks in BOO«neetion with the standard timepiece, sntomsti«.ally. A ourrow slit, eut in th<- «liai of a dock,admin two projecting pins. When the minutehand i« passing this slot, the pins, moved by a

magnet, full into the .shit, seize the minutehand and bring it to true time, and then re¬

lease it. The magnet at the moment ofthis peí formalice hau been char_*v«l by an

deetrie current from the étendard clock at(lieenwich. The l'ost-Ollice authorities, whocontrol Um telegraph in Cheat Britain, havegranted the use of wires for this s.vstiin. TheHankers' (.h-aring-hoiiso was among the Hr-tto adopt it, needing some means to be assuredof precis«' time, since numerous disputes hadpreviously arisen as to whether largo paymentsWON mods punctually within the minute. Ageneral adoption of the device by railwaysSüd other public eottcerns is conliil«ntly.*pre-dicted.The advantages of uniform time are so mani¬

fest that Croquent .oggestions have boon putforth with a VÍOW to sont«- syst«'in of the Kn-glish sort in this country. Sev«>r;il of our nil-way accidents have been traced to confusionas to the time used on different lilies, or bc--tween the local time and finit of the railroad.innumerable instances happen every year oftravelers missing fhirir trains through mistakeconcerning the time used upon a rood. Theadvertised time-tables are usually a sail puzslein this particular. It is absdutely bo-possiblfi. for instance, after a day's visit in

many of our Western towns, to learn withcertainty from th«> local newspapers the tune

to take a train. The railway schedules are

advertised« indeed, but iu three cas«*« out offour they do not indicate whether the timethey name is that of the locality or ofthe railroad. To add to the confusion, some

of the towns on the line of a railway adoptthe railway time, while others do imt. Atliuííalo one of the hotels keeps its docks set

by New-York city time. The New-Yorkerwho itepS into the waiting-room at the footof Corllamlt-st. is humiliated to And thatthnii ;h his foot may be still on his nativeheath, he is construí-tively in Philadelphia, 00-

cording to Um doeh before him; and this is

only ¡i beginning of bis trouble if lu- travelsabout much and sets his watch occasionally.

It is comparatively easy in ii small countrylike Great Britain to accept the time of one

place OS the standard for all. The chain:«* isal most a mottet of a lew minutes, lint to

attempt it here WOaid refluiré almost a revolu¬tion of ordinary ideas. On shipboard, in the

navy, it is never noon until the captain «In¬dares it lo>* If Washington time were au-

throughout the country shall be matured,Publie dodu could «'¡isily be made to show

Washington time an well.as local time, byadditional hands, which might be more slender«>t* of a «liil'erent color from the others. Onthis sitie of the Alh'ghanies, only a minute-hand would need to be added. Ones fixed at

the proper distance from the other hand*.,the new hands would never need changing.This device would sonn familiarize peoplewith the notion of Washington time, and

many persons would, no doubt, have a similaraddition made to their watch«'s. As soon ns

the new time beCOOM popular, the railioadcompanies would have to adopt it in their ad¬vertisement*-, ami p« rhaps would substitute it
