BLACK MAIL AND DEADHEADs.

To ne Edifor Of The ~ u Tribune
SIR Last Autumn the Presidents of the City Rail
roaos mutually agreed to abolish the Desdhead sys-
tenn which has been caredt such an extent that the
SiNth-ay. Railroad in their Report gave the average
number of 500 free passengers day on that Road,
and OIL the Third-av. Railroad the average number OF
deadheads carried daily over 200. This agree
ment has recently been broken by the Harlem Rail
road, who have commenced liberal di.tribution of
free passes to the officers of the City Government PO-
lice and others. Last evening Conductor of the
Thrd-ay. railroad was aires cd on frivolous prctext
and taken 10 one OF the Staton-Houses. One of the
sficers of the Thrdav. Railroad applied for his re-
lease when he was told by the Captain of the Police
that he did not feel under any obligation to the Third
av. Road, for they made them pay whenever they
passed over the Road which not the case on the
Fourth av. Road, showing at the same time free
pas over that Road. We catered into the agreement
at the icitat on Of Mr. Dean, then President of the
Harlem Railroad and so far have strictly adhered to
our obligations, Notwithstanding tina; several persons
have applied TO us to break it, because other parties to
it have broken theirs, although we are subjected TO
petty annoy snces Tor so doing. THIRD-A'ENUE.

THE SYsTEM OF EsPIoEaeR-Venice
is invested with spies, male and
female. They are to be seen prowl-
ing shout the coffee rooms, ready to
arrest any person who may be
thought, on the slightest grounds Of
suspicion, disposed to speak freely Of
the dsspotic character ofthe Austrian
government. The great secret then
to avoid tip on the shoulder from
one Of the POLICIES to practice silence,
to lay an embargo on tho lips; to
think as much as you please but
say nothing. One example will give
you some idea Of the extent Of the
interference of the police. There can
be no party in house in the evening
exceeding twenty in number. Should
you have twenty-one at friendly
cup Of tea, the police have right
to cause an immediate adjournment
of the meeting. This seriously affects
the principle of sociality. and very
large parties, as you have in the
United States, are here under an
iuterdice by government as jealous
and despotic as that of Russia. The
colors of the Italians, when a nation,
we're red, white and green. A large,
beautiful bouquet with the flowers so
arranged as to exhibit these favorite
coIors of the Italians, red, white and
green, was thrown upon the stage of
one of the theatres in compliment
to a popular actress. The police
heard of it,and they quickly ordered
the theatre to be shut up for six
for that simple act. Can
so tyrannical live In the
affections Of the people? Buta as the
Italians cannot govern themselves,
perhaps it is as well that the Aus
TRANS have to do it for them, although
it is very humiliating.
