ton declares that such surplus shall be appropriated
during the fiscal year in which it was created So,
it will be perceived that the next Legislature will
have no control over it..
These among the reasons why we believe that
Governor Hunt will be perfectly justfable in calling
an extra session. His party friends have, no doubt,
advised him to pursue a different course, believing
that political capital will be made out Of refusal.
The great mass Of the people, who are not political
and have the welfare of the State ut
heart, not willing that the affairs Of the State
shall be thus blocked, to crafty the asprants Of
any political clique whatever.
INGENUITY OF THE MODERN PHILOSOPHERS.
There is great variety Of phases and shifting of
scenes in the blackguard socialism, blackguard mo-
rality, and BLACKBOARD philosophy Of some of our
city journals, which profess to be the very and
model Of sanctmony. and the leaders of the refor-
matory movements, including abolitionsm, gold
mining, and the explorations Of the spirit world.
Some short time ago, the public pretty frequent
~ introduced, in the polite columns Of the Tribune,
to such epithets 'liar, 'scoundrel, hypocrite,
''wretch," "calumnntor," ''villain," &c., applied
to contemporaries who ventured to
maintain and express opinions heterodox to those
held by this candidate for Bilngsgate honors. Now.
however, are glad to find that the gentle correc-
and rebukes administered to this erring brother
by other portions Of the press, have had some benc-
fetal effect. and that public decorum is not SO often
set Mt nought by him. Our senses are by no means
so frequently RECALLED by these poses Of editorial
culling. though they sometimes will peep out from
their forced concealment. Now and again, however,
they will grace the columns OF the Tribune, though
in sort f nd ma nsh IN 1isY,lay
themselves. They do not appear so immodestly as
they used to do, but somewhat concealed under
a hypothetical form. One of the most perfect in
stances Of this shape which they have assumed,
is to be found in Yesterdays Tribune, in which the
editor Of the Erening Post is thus ingcniously
branded slar and villain'':-
If to repel these caumnes in the terms they
deserve and demand-if say to their author,
Sir you are ar and villain y that would be termed
scurrilty and abuse, and be quoted all the land

This is the latest subterfuge to which the Tr:5un,
has had recourse for the purpose of ndulging little
in its iayorite propensity. 1t is the most novel and
Ingenious method Of giving and avoiding the :. lie
direct that has yet been invented by its author,
and deserves to be patented for his exclusive use.
Where did he get the bright idea Was it in his
recent studies Of the manners and customs of 'thc
