CRIMINAL BUSINESS OF THE CnY-The man
ner in which our new Recorder has discharged
his duties, during the brief period thpt be has
been in ONCE, is becoming subject OF general
congratulation with the public They see in it
an earnest that he will follow closely in the
wake Of our present able and energetic City
Judge. During the last twelve months the lat
lean amount Of labor for single individual
And not only has the promptitude of his deci-
sions given satisfaction but their impartiality
and discrimination will bear the strictest inyes-
tigation. One Of the greatest benefits derived
from this vigor Of action is the influence that II
will exert on those who are associated with and
who will follow him in the administration Of
our criminal business. From the report pub
liabed In our columns yesterday, II will be seen
that Recorder Barnard is animated by the same
determination 10 vindcate the laws against the
reproach Of ineficiency, and to purge the
city Of the malefactors who have so long pur-
sued their evil practices with impunity. With
two criminal Judges of such integrity and
earnestness Of purpose we have much to hope
for. At the same time there remains question
whether the utmost efforts that they can use
will afford us the full measure Of protection to
which our necessities aud the heavy amount to
which We are taxed entitle us.
Whilst there are no lees than fourteen Judges
to administer the civil business Of the city of
New York, the whole Of the criminal business,
with the exception Of the initiatory portion,
which devolves on the Police Justices is dis
charged by the City Judge and Recorder Now,
with population increasing with such unpre-
cedented rapidity as ours, IL is evidently impos-
sible for any two Judges to keep pace with the
immense number of offences which will be sent
to them for trial Whilst we cannot but admire
the spirit and energy with which the two msgis-
trates referred to endeavor to prove equal to
the exigencies Of their positions. we cannot
shut our eyes to the fact thai they are perform
ing an amount Of labor which, in justice to Its
own interests, the city ought not to expect from
them BY making some provision to tighten
their duties it will contribute to the greater
efficiency Of the criminal courts, and render still
moro prompt ard certain the punishment Of Of

The WARRINGTON LOBBY ON TIE WArcn.-
Amidst what Gen. Cas- would CAT "the noise
and confusion" of this Kansas agitation ct
washington, and Congressional comMittees Of
investigation, and what not, the lobby operators
appear to be working and burrowing like moles
sitter warm spring rain. For example, Col.
Colt, it seems, has got his pistol patent extea-
sion somehow or other, into the hands of the
House committee; and from this inkling we may
form some idea of what is going on behind the
curtain As for the printing committee of in
quiry, it has probably adjourned its labors s;ne
die. At all events we have no doubt that Mr..
Wendell, the real proprietor of the Washington
Union, and the cock of the walk in regard to
the printing of both houses of Congress, win
take care of himself and see that his confede-
rates in the game for these spoils do not get
more than their share. A graduate Of the
Albany lobby organized by the old Van Buren,
troupe and perfected under the auspices Of
Thurlow Weed, Erastus Corning, Dean Rich
mond & Co., Mr. Wendell can twist these little
country politicians involved in the Congress
printing as easily around his fingers as a piece
of Irvine. That he will make good job of it
we leave the printing expenses of this Congress
to answer. He has the tools, and he has the
game in his hands AS for the lobby patent
jobbers, we must not lose sight of them; and
when the committee on printing are ready to
report we shall be glad to hear from them.
The POLITICIANS AND THE PREss.-Politicians
like Messrs. Toombs, of Georgia, Henry Winter
Davis, ofMaryland, and Jefferson Davis, of Mis-
sissippi, profess profound contempt for the
press. The sincerity Of this feeling may very
we'll be questioned. Those persons know ~
well as we do. that the press is the most power
full influence in the country. 1t is recognized
by the constitution, makes Presidents and Cabi-
nets, controls Congress, and exercises more real
power than all the other political elements put
together. In other words it is the embodiment
of public opinion, which, whatever they may
say to the contrary, keeps wholesome check
over the conduct of political malcontents-
Take them as body, the lives and morals Of
the men who conduct the press of this country
will contrast favorably with those of any other
class, not even excepting our immaculate re-
representatives. in Congress. When, therefore,
we hear politicians uttering complaints against
the press, it may fairly be assumed that it Ass
in some way interfered with the promotion Of
their individual interests, and is honestly dis
charging its duty towards the country.
PROGRESS OF THE ExPANsIoN-The news from
Europe reports continued plethora of money
and rise in stocks. These bankers and others
who were caught by the revulsion last fall-such
men as the eight who endorsed for Mr.. George
Peabody-are determined not to let stocks down
till they and he get out. They are more likely
to boost them up still higher in order to bring
more of the outside public in. But time will
come when they will sell out; and then, stand
