The Erie clique, through the action of Judge
Barnard and Judge Baleen; are again triumphant, but the
triumph, before long, may be taken out of them, or the
Loudon combination will mismanage the work they have
undertaken. If they fail, there will be an end to all Euro-
pean investment in New York, for men would be some-
thing more than idiots to place the protection of their pro-
perty under such judges as Balcom, or the notorious
Barnard, who has done more to bring American law into
contempt than all the illegal combinations since the close
of the war. Mr. Ramsay's case was tried before Balcom, who
had thus to decide upon the legality of his own order. Re
pronounced it valid, annulled Judge Murray's orders, and
placed Ramsay outside the court by declaring that he
was not entitled to represent the shareholders and cre-
ditors of the railroad. If, said the righteous judge in
his long decision, they do not choose to look after
their interests out of court, they ought not to come into
court for orders, and if they chose bad directors the blame
was their's. Should they prefer speculators for directors
they had the legal right to make thorn directors, even if
they chose a Brigham Young. Nor could this immaculate
judge detect in the bill of complaint an important charge
against any defendant since the last election in October.
All this will exorcise a more injurious influence on the
State of New York than an open repudiation of the State
debts. In fact, there soon must be an end of trust and an
annihilation of credit, as all contracts will appear in Europe
to rest solely on the honour of the New Yorkers con-
cerned. The moral New Englander James Fisk, jun.,
will thus have accomplished for his adopted State the
greatest injury it has ever sustained at the hands of a
citizen, and if the New Yorkers have not begun to realize
the fact, they soon will.

Last Saturday the London Architect had a beau-
tiful illustration of the new State Capitol at Albany, New
York, taken from a photograph of the last drawing of the
architects, Messrs. Fuller and Laver, of Albany, who were
also the atchitects of the Parliament and Departmental
Buildings at Ottawa, Canada. The plans have been care-
fully prepared; the entire structure will weigh 150,000
tons; the site is very commanding, comprising an
area of te❑ antis, one hundred and seventy foet above the
level of the Hudson. The exterior is 290 feet
north and south. and 390 feet east and west; and the
terrace, which forms the grand approach, will be un-
equalled in America. The library will occupy the whole
east front of two storeys, 283 feet long by 54 feet wide.
"This," says the Architect, "will be the most attractive
room iu the building, and, it is believed, in the world. Its
largo area and lofty proportions, its views towards the
north, east, and south, overlooking the city, and bringing
in the valley of the Hudson and its western slopes for miles
in each direction, will make it a favourite place of resort al;
all seasons of the year. The main tower is 66 feet square,
and about 320 feet iu height. In the centre of the
building will bo an open court of 137 by 92 foot. This
court will be a gruud and attractive feature, being treated
in. the same manner as the exterior fronts, and will no
cheat ultimately have its fountains and be surrounded
with statuary." The commissioners appointed for the
erection of this building are Messrs. Hamilton Harris,
John V. L. Pruyn, 0. B. Latham, James S. Thayer, Alonzo
B. Cornell, William A. Rice, James Terwilliger. and John
T. Hudson. We notice that the London Architect pur-
poses to give the architectural section of the great work
of Serous d'Aginaourt, " The History of Art by its Monu-
ments," at the rate of two double plates each week, begin-
ning Jan.; on which day the specimens furnished could
not fail to interest those who desire the diffusion of cor-
rect ideas on architecture, and the cultivation of a taste
for art

THE CHINESE TRADE.—According to a report by
Dr. Von. Beherzer, of Vienna, 14,075 vessels, with a
burden of 6,418,500 tons, were engaged in the Chinese
trade in 1868. Of these, 7,165 ships and 3,33t,000 belonged
to Great Britain, and 1,772 ships and 24;7,000 tons to Ger-
many. In 1867, 2,232 German ships, with 611,800 tons,
were engaged in the trade, but the competition of steam
vessels sailing under the North American flag has reduced
their number. The merchant fleet of the United States
in the Chinese waters amounted to 2,926 ships and
1,673,000 tons in 1867, and it had increased to 2,623
ships and 2,257,000 tons in 1868. Dr. Von Scherzer esti-
mates that the value of the entire Chinese trade, exclusive
of Hong Kong, qt 421,000,000 Austrian florins, viz.,
214,000,000 florins imports and 207,000,000 florins exports.
Nearly 50 per cent. of this is in the hands of Great Britain,
namely, 74,000,000 florins of the imports and 1'27,000,000
florins of the export trade, in all 201,000,000 florins, while
the European continent is only represented by 1,000,000
florins of imports and 14,000,000 florins exports. -

LADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.--
Convulsions, Fits, and Epilepsy.—These attacks, common
to all ages and all seasons, cannot be neglected without
danger to intellect or life. Epilepsy especially requires
prompt treatment, as it springs from a scrofulous state of
the habit or from some unnatural pressure of the brain,
which can only with certainty be removed in an early
stage. For curing this terrible class of disease Holloway's
remedies have held an enviable notoriety for more than a
quarter of a century. Tho Ointment should be rubbed
twice daily over the stomach and spine as perseveringly as
salt is rubbed into meat. At the same time Holloway's
Pills should be freely taken in doses to act energetically
on the brain.
