Grand Jury in indicting two Of the city alder
men for malfeasance in office, our columns have
been open to all sorts of discussions arguments

statements, which have naturally flowed from
that exposure, and which have been deluging
the public for weeks past Everything in rela-

found its passage through our columns, and if
the public have not had materials enough

like the United States mail bags, have gone to
bed no hope for you there. Not single stage
rumbles over the pavement. A compassionate
hack driver offers TO take you home for two
dollars another, more enterprising, ten
ders the same service for twelve shillings, and
is Immediately secuted by his fellows. II you
are clerk you can i'll afford the expenses if
you are young man, you instinctively object
to such piece of extravaganza. You walk. AS
you limp along you try to discover why the
Fourth avenue cars require more rest than those
in Sixth or Eighth avenue. You wonder
whether the wretched rates of wages paid to
the conductors have anything to do with it
whether the company is unable to procure more
than limited number of men to work sixteen
hours day for ten shillings. Visions of Han
som cabs rise before you. and you worry your
self to find out why. in this city Of enterprise,
par excellence, those comfortable and economi-
cal vehicles have never been introduced. That
the old cabs, smelling like cabbage gardens,
and feeling like prisoners vans should
have been ostracised is not to be won
dered at-but what earthly objection can
be urged against Hansoms? Your fondness
for New York is severely tried by the reflection
that it is the only city in the world Of over one
hundred thousand inhabitants where it costs
bachelor a dollar to ride half a mile. Abusing
the drivers is no consolation. What they are
everybody knows-tolerable only where the
law cul ails their natural propensities.
You are at home, in Fifteenth street, thank
full that your troubles are at an end On your
table lies the letter you left to be mailed. The
servant has not had an hour to spare all day,
and there is mo post Office nearer than Liberty
street. You are decidedly disguised with New
York. But, after all, is it not magnificent
city?

respondence and intelligence from Albany,
which our readers will find in another portion
Of to-day's HERALD, will enable them to form
an approximating idea Of the quantity Of
business still remaining to be transacted by our
legislators and of the condition OF affairs there
in general. We give list Of some Of the most
important bills yet to be acted on, among which,
first and pre-eminent in interest to New York,
are those for the amendment Of our city char
ter and for the prevention Of fraud in establish
ing city railroads. The discussion of these bills
on the floor and in committee has already con-
sumed much time, and will probably consume
much more, particularly if the lobbying force
although it appears that the general sentiment
among the members is in favor of the passage
of these reformatory and protective measures.
1t has almost come to be serious question
with the Legislature, how to dispose of the
business devolving upon them from this city.
We think that the suggestion playfully thrown
out last week by the chairman Of the House Com
mittee on the Broadway Railroad is capital one
and might be adopted with profit on all Sides
He proposed that as New York city required
at least two months Of every session to be
devoted to her exclusive concerns, the best plan
they could adopt would be for the Legislature
to come down to the metropolis, and hold spe-
cial session here, while there was any business
requiring their attention. In the wisdom of
this suggestion we fully coincide. Here the
members could procure all the information ne
cessary for due appreciation Of the matters to
be brought before them; and then, when their
days work was done. they could mingle in the
rational enjoyments Of the city, instead Of being
condemned to undergo the denominations of bar
room life in Albany. Opera and concert, and
the various modes of fashionable enjoyment in
New York would occupy their evening hours
pleasantly, and then they could appropriately
wind up with any quantity Of the most delicious
oysters. Will bill to this effect be added to
those now set down for future discussion? If
30, we will give it our heartiest concurrence.
We see that the Maine Liquor law is also wait
ing to be disposed Of by the Legislature but
we expect that will be done in very summary
and unceremonious manner. Our correspond
ent likewise enumerates in the list bill to
repeal the act requiring registry of births
deaths, and marriages but we rather think
this must be mistake, as, instead of repeal
Of the act what society wants is an amend
ment to make its provisions more stringent
We wish the State Legislature happy issue
out of the difficulties of the task set before
them.

IHE MADIA1 CONTROvERSY.-We have re-
ceived communication, evidently from Ca
tholic source. denying the authenticity of the
account of the trial of the Nadiais from which
we published full and accurate translation q
short time since. Our correspondent at the
same time informs us that q correct report Of
this much talked of case has been sent for to
Tuscany-probably by some person in autho-
rity here-and that the true version of it will
therefore soon be received in this city, when
it will, perhaps, be published in refutation of
the erroneous statements hitherto put forth As
. matter Of fair dealing we publish this COM
munication, in another portion Of our columns,
to-day. and will be also happy to publish the
new and amended report Of the legal proceed
ings against the Madiai whenever furnished;
though, most probably the source from whence
it is to be derived will be as much liable to
objection and suspicion as any from which
those already published have emanated
In connection with this subject, we also give
to our readers to-day o communication ad-
dressed to US from the other side, in reply to
Archbishop Hughes letter, which appeared in
our columns some time ago. This letter comes
from Protestant of education and position,
and we therefore, with the more pleasure, add
it to all that has been already written about
the matter. We have in hand several other>
articles on this same subject Of the Aadiais,
but, as we are Of opinion that what we give
to-day will be considered by our readers guam

satisfactorily accounts for everything alleged
against him; and. secondly, letter from Mr..
Arthur Quin, replying to the extenuating
statement made by Alderman Sturtevant. in
relation to the presentment Of the Grand
Jury. We give these documents to our read
ers this morning, as we have done all matters
connected with this exciting topic of alder
manic corruption; and we merely limit our
selves to saying that If the public are not able,
from all the statements spread before them in
our columns, to form conclusive judgment as to
the manner in which the affairs of this city have
been administered, then they deserve to be
made the victims of misgovernment.
