Controller Barrows 81 the pures and tTuest men In
the State and he best Controllers have ever had IL
and annoyed BY the continued call upon him Tor
money when there little in the Treasury TO meet the
appropriations Of the Legislature" Express
Mr. Controller Burrows is under no shadow OF
obligation to pay money on account of the State
when there is none in the Treasury. If he pays 50
long as the State 10 in funds he does all that any
reasonable man can ask of him. But why this
talk Of little or none in the Treasury If there
is little" be should pay while it lasts without
grumbling: and when there is none he should state
that fact as conclusive reason for not paying.
Any claimant of the State who holds him response
bic for the deficiency must be unreasonable indeed.
The E1prsss dsregards the truth in calling the
Legislature of last year (1856) "the Republican
legislature" but it is quite right N asserting that
the two last Legislatures appropriated quite too
lavishly. But did that Editor Of The Express who
was an influential member of both these Legisa-
lures do anything toward reducing their expendi'
lures Did he oppose the appropriations to Col
eges Did he resist the strenuous effort of the
Anti. Republican majority of the Legislature of
1856 to force Gov Clark to call an Extra Session
Let US know how much, and what, he did to pre-
vent the prodigality which The E1pyess now seems
to deplere.

Mayor Wood and his particular friends swear
that they didn't mean to prevent bis arrest by
Coroner Perry the other day. While their hand is
in, perhaps they had better swear that the City
Hall was not converted into a fortress, garrisOned
by some hundreds Of men armed with bludgeOns
On that occasion, and that there no tight there
to prevent the Coroner with fifty policemen
from making an entry to serve the writ They
had better swear, too, that there was no incite'
ment to riot, and that that convenience Of Mayor
Wood, Judge Russell did not hold a court in the
Mayors own room, guarded by these very hun
Jreds VI his armed men, in order 10 release him
from the authority Of another Judge, who would
have been likely to treat him with justice and not
With favor. And, to complete the work, they
might also make their solemn afiidavds that Mr..
Wood did not defraud bis partner by means of a
forged letter, altered invoices false bills of sale
all after the most approved style Of swindling.
And if the affdayits of Mr. Wood and his immedl-
ate allies are not thought sufficient on these las!
points. We dare say that Messrs. Brown Brothers
n Co, William Is. Astor, X. III. WhslOw, Court
aLdt Palmer and other eminent merchants and
bankers will be ready to come forward and anew
pledge their honor TO the public THAI Mr.. Wood is
and honest man, hgh-souled citizen and a model
magistrate, and not the unreleyed scoundrel which
the public generally believe him to be.

In the Common Council last evening no very i'm
pOrtant business was transacted. The Aldermen
are quarrelng over the spois of the Street Depart
ment, and one of the Democratic members iS said
to have been exceedingly felcitOus on the "dispen-
satCn of kind Providence 10 removing Mr.. Taylor,
and proceeded to say that it was the duty of the
Democrats to organize the Department to suit
themselves. We are not sure that our reporter has
fully understood the speaker; but if he did make
Of ,uch impious brutality, he ought to be held
up TO the scorn and contempt of the world. What
ever reckless politician might imagine, no one
but villain would utter such atrOciOus sentiments
The Aldermen worked long time to do nothing
toward cleaning the streets; Alderman Blunt taking
occasion to tell the lazy and corrupt majority that
it was their fault that the contracts made last
March were not faithfully confirmed and executed
In the other Board the only exciting topic was the
report to raise the salary of the Chief Engineer Of
the Fire Department from $4,000 to $4,000. Is
was opposed and supported with no particular
reference to party lines and was finally ordered to
a third reading by small majority.

The Republicans of MAINE held large and
spirited State Convention at Bangor yesterday,
and nominated LOT NJ. MORRILL, of Augusta for
Governor. Mr.. Morrill, acted up to the prOmul.
cation of the Cincinnati Platform, with the So
called Democratic party lie is an able, upright
and popular man, who will poll large vote.
A difference Of opinion prevailing among the Re-
publicans with regard to the reenactment of a
stringent Prohbitory Law, the Convention re-
solved that such act, passed. should be submitted
to the approval of the People on direct vote. We
believe they have not yet discovered in Maine that
such submission is unconstitutional Our own
judgment is that every important act, calculated to
affect vtaIy the interests, convenience or habits of
the community, should thus be submitted. If dis
liked, let it be rejected if approved it will surely
be invested with a sanction and authority which
ordinary legislation fails to secure.

Mr.. Greeley" might CONFESS" if be
thought proper that there is no political party in
"exi,tepce that dares assume the Institutes Of
Calvin, or the DEGREES of the Council Of Trent, or
the doctrines of AIminius, or the support of the
Usury Laws; but what would that prove Pro-
hibiton is not question of party politics, but of
municipal regulation. 1t has supporters in all
parties-more, we think, in the Republican than 10
any other-but their Republicanism is one thing,
and their approval of Prohibition quite another.
So, we presume, with other parties. Why seek to
beog and misstate so manifest truth
"Mr. Greeley never " confessed that 4" three
fourths of the People of this State were opposed
to Prohibition, nor anything like it. He did say
there was no majority of the People Of this State
who ipfe1iby refrained from Alcoholic potatous
nor who made Prohibition the paramount and alb
sorbirg feature of their political creed; but he
never intimated that there was not majority of
the People of this State who would vote for Prohi-
bition, if by so voting they could secure it. Only
let it be manifest that voting for Prohibition would
secure Prohibition, and "Mr. Greeley" is very
confident that majority of this People would so
vote, RICH. heartily But that they would vote
Prohibition with a Judiciary standing ready to
crush Prohibition is not quite so clear They dis
like fruitless agitation and useless Invocation OF
their neghbors ill.wiI-at least, many Of them do.
