The Committee on Federal Relations in the Mas.
chuse.ts House of Representatives, has submitted
series of resolutions for provisional aid to the
Free State men of Kansas. These resolutions
place in the hands Of three Commissioners, 10 DO
appointed for that purpose, thousand shares OF
the stock of the Western Railroad, now belonging
10 the State, and Of the value OF about 500 0OO.
Should Border-Ruffian proceedings similar to those
tf last year be sga,n renewed, the Commissioners
are authorized to sell this stock and to appropriate
tie proceeds of it, or so much as may be necessary
toward the relief of Free-State men stripped Of
their property and driven from their homes. If
the Commissioners shall see ft, they may also pro-
vide for the sustentation of the legal rights of the
free settlers in the Courts Of the Territory and Of
the United States against wrongs and injuries in.
nlcted upon them under color of the authority of
the pretended Legislature, or BY the abuse or an-
unwarranted exercise of Judicial or ministerial au-
.hority, created by the act of Congress organic ng
the Territory. The Commission thus created
and empowered is to continue in existence for
,ightetn months, at the eId of which period its au
Ihori'y is TO expire.
THIS appears TO US very h,ppy move. By
actually placing fund in the hands of the Com
nissioners, an assurance will be held out to Free
State immigrants OF being sustained and Upheld
against the illegal violence of last Summer; while
the very fact that Massachusetts stands ready to
back these Free State men to that extent would 60
very far to prevent any occasion for any e1pend-
ture of the morey. For ourselves, We do not Gu
cpate the renewal Of the murders, arsOns, rob
berries ard civil war Of last year. That has proved
q losing game, and preparations are now making
fer t,y ing another. Nothing however, can be lost
by being prepared for any emergency, and nothing
will operate more TO reduce the Border Ratiians to
ctmparatiye decency than - give them papsble
proof that the Free-Sta'e men have friends who
Will back the H. As Massachusetts, by the formation
of her Emigrant Aid Society, took the lead in vim
dicating the right of the Free Safes generally to
settle in Kansas-Border Ruff anism to the con-
trary Notwithstanding it naturally belongs to
her, from her past history and the known spirit Of
her people, 10 take the lead in still sustaining that
right.

The moral standing Of one man, at least, has
been settled by the Corruption Investigating Com
mlttee at Washington. Others may survive or
fall but bis position is fixed unatersby, and beyond
all question. TIE evidence by which he has been
convicted cannot be impeached for it is bis own

compose the COMMITTEE on Cities and Villages, arc
entitled to great commentator, no. only for their
Industry ard appreciation exercised in the measures.
but for the frmness with which they have ressted
interested appeals against the reforms those meas,
ures aim to produce. A hungry horde of 'podatOrs
bave beset the Hobbies for ten days past but their
labos have been in vain.
The election Of Aldermen By Assembly Dutric.s
as provided by the new Charter will give the Wards
an equality in that Board; the choice OF Council
men BY Senatorial Districts on general ticket Will
complete the analogy of representation according to
the census The different duties OF departments
are classified and so distributed that there can be
no clashipg Of powers. Hereafter we shall not see
the Croton Department, the Gas Department and
the Street Paving Department in conflict on one
block of street. each set of contra combining
to plunder the city, Nor will the incOngruity of
two Departments collecting money be presensed for
the Receiver is to collect both taxes and assess
ments, and the Tax Commissioners, BY the aid OF
force of deputies, are TO equaize both taxes and
assessments In place of the Ward Assessor and the
Street Bureau. The sums saved TO the people By
these arrangements will be large; hence the oppOsi-
ton of the spectators at Albany.
OF the general character of the new Police BILL
We have spoken elsewhere; some of its features,
however, deserve special commentator. II pro-
yides that the Police Board shall detail two police
men to each poll, and appoint the poll-cerks, who
are now creatures of the Inspectors. The Board
has also custody of the balotboAes, so as to pre-
vent irresponsible parties from tamperipg with
them btfoI ehsnd. The District Canvass bill also
provides for the seaDg-up of returns at the polls
snd in public, with the poll clerks to aid. II also
provides that the bsllot-bOIes shall be Of heavy
glass, protected by open iron casing.
II is evident from the action Of the Legislature
that its mem bers have taken the right view. Party
plumber and party cheating at elections are not
local; they affect the whole State in general ee'-
ton. The frauds of New.York County may neu-
tralize the honesty of sixty rural counties. And
local plumber prepares the way for and strengthens
the elective larceny which rObs the honest voter Of
his rights
