The ALBANY LOBBY AND ITS NFLUENCEs.-The
Albany lobby is one of the greatest controlling
powers over the legislation of the State of New
York. We have Governor, a Senate and an
Assembly, ii is true, but the Albany lobby
manages all these legislative existences as it
chooses. The lobby consists Of railroad mana
gers, canal managers, bank managers, office
holders, spectators, rOgues out of the State
prison, and swindlers not yet found out. This
combination of intellect and rascality in search
of business, is the main constituent feature of
the lobby, and is at the same time one of its
most efficient instruments.
One of the most potent of the lobby Influences
is that connected with the Central Railroad.
OF late it has assumed almost the entire control
of the legislation of the State. Through the
lobby and it's organs-the Argus and Evening
Journal-it can work out almost any object of
legislation in Albany. Occasionally the two
railroad inter ests-the Central and Erie-come
into conflict and have regular set to, but they
unite and make common cause together when
ever it becomes necessary to do battle against
the canal interest
This latter also exercises powerful influence
in the lobby, being composed of delegates and
contractors who have been making vast fortunes
out of this branch of the State expenditure,
and who are determined not to part with their
chances if they can help it. Again, there is
new infuence-that of the banks in Wall
street-but how it will operate no one can tell
as yet Last, but not least, is the influence of
the Office seekers, who for the last week have
been making their own arrangements and bar
gains in connection with the election for
Speaker. The essential characteristics of all these
interests and influences are corruption and ras-
cality, under the guise of the public good. The
Albany newspapers live out of this corruption,
and literally owe their existence to the drip
pings of unclean Legislation.
As during the present session all these inte-
rests will be actively engaged in pushing their
schemes through the agency of the lobby, it is
important that close eye should be kept on
their movements In view of the magnitude of
their operations and the amount of public plum
der involved in them, we intend to despatch
two secret correspondents to Albany to watch
their proceedings and to report to us regularly
thereon

gar and coffee improve his food the pala\ 'a'
cities shield him more perfectly from the ten
pest, and the new articles for his use contribute
to his greater comfort His condition is every
way improved, and thus, though nominally dis
appearing, the intrinsic wealth is either con-
sumed by or remains with him.
All attempts therefore, to stop entirely these
speculative manias and consequent revulsi0ns
must and will be futile. The progress of credit
expansion is gradual and is built up step by
step. Merchants may endeavor to shorten ere
dts, but the attempt must always be partial,
for as capital increases, the individual desire to
augment trade will carry them to the utmost
limit of the retailers or the consumers scheme
of payment The only thing that can be done
is to provide sound and safe currency for the
community by stringent laws regulating bank
issues; to separate the finances Of the body po-
lite, federal, State and municipal, from the
speculative currency, and to augment the in
dividual ability of the wholesale trader to learn
the standing of his customers through an organ
lied system of general inquiry and informa-
ton. The power of our periodical revulsions
to affect the great mass of producers and con-
sumers will then be limited and their effects be
deprived of their sting The world has already
made some progress in this respect, and its re-
suit is seen in the fact that the effects Of the
late financial crisis are found to lie with those
classes holding accumulated wealth, rather
than with the great mass of the community.
As necessary consequence, the revival of trade
will be quicker now than was the case after the
panics of 1926, 1887 and 1847

ties amounting 10 not less than three hundred millions
In Europe the final addition of these losses has
not yet been reached, but we can hardly sup
pose that in England il will bear the same pro-
portion to the commercial depreciation which
II does here, from the fact that their railway re-
vulsion occurred In 1s4s, since when their spec
ulative temper has been more thoroughly d.
rected to kiting in trade. France, however,
presents field where the most extraordinary
exertions are being made by an arbitrary gov
eminent to keep up the prices Of stocks and to
repel the commercial panic. The fear of large
masses of unemployed workmen impels the i'm
perial government to extend aid to all needy
manufacturers, and the Credit Mobilier and
other stockjobbing concerns are being let down
easily and softly, 90 as not to cause panic by
their sudden disappearance but these vast
companies are rotten and hollow to the core,
and before long their names will disappear from
the lists of admitted wealth.
One great truth is evident in these statistics.
The result cannot be laid to any particular
scheme Of banking or credits. The financial
systems Of the United States, England, Ham
burg and Northern Europe are all dissimilar,
and their paper currencies rest upon very I'M
equal bases of circulation. Yet the effects of
the revulsion are alike In all; and If we may say
that II is worse in any one community, IL is in
that which was supposed TO possess the most
rigid and unexpandng system Of bankng--that
ia Hamburg. From this we must deduce that
the evils we have experienced of late cannot be
laid at the door Of any one scheme of banking
more than another, but that it exists in deeper
and more all-pervading cause.
Such cause does exist In that enterprising
spirit and ever active hope that is stimulating
the Teutonic stock and its offshoots to multiply
production with all the energy of its energetic
nature. 1t is planting colonies building cities
opening avenues Of communication, ransacking
every quarter Of the globe for new articles Of
trade and use, urging greater consumption of
new and old things upon every nation, all
based upon the hope Of future ability TO pay;
and, drumming every few years its own and
others ability to consume, those periodical
reyulsisns occur in the financial world
which now 40 regularly mark cur history.
But tie results Of all these labors and
strivinps remain with the world and
for the world, 10 its real great advantage.
The railways and steamships still facilitate the
intercourse of nations and bind them together.

and fail imperially. All this is ahead of VA.
Were it not for our railway companies which we
will back against any concerns or individuals
in the world for downright barefaced frauds,
we should have to confess that we cannot hold
candle to John Bull in the way of rsscality.

Rrg,Io IrterpatiopaI Bridge

The people of Buffalo took vote on Tues
,lay on the question whether they will agree to
the assumption of $4,000, interest per an
mum on the sum of S., 500, ,OOO,to be invested in
the stock of Railroad Bridge across the Niaga
"a River, by the Detroit and Niagara River
Railway Company. The total vote POlled was
$500, of which 5, ,I26 were in favor of granting
aid to the Bridge, and 1876 againstit Major
ity in favor, 1,75O. The Express says
This result is somewhat surprising to the op-
ponents of the proposition, and indeed to the
friends of the measure also, considering the
strenuous and unfair efforts which have been
made to defeat it. There has been mnch vacil-
lation in public opinion on the subject, and an
entire change has taken place in public senti-
ment since last Friday. Had the vote been
taken on that day, we have no doubt that the
proposition would have been defeated by large
vote, but in the meantime it became evident that
the Central Railroad influence was actively at
work endeavoring to defeat it, and an over
whelming majority of our citizens needed no
better argument to support proposition than
the knowledge that the Central Railroad was
opposed to it. The result has been what is
shown above-the figures affording conclusive
evidence that the majority of the tax payers
themselves voted in favor of the proposition.

The TeIegrapbic Chess Match

The wires Tuesday evening flashed over the
Union the first moves in the Chess match be-
tween the New York and Philadelphia Clubs,
which is to be played simultaneously in all
parts of the country, from Portland to New Or
leans, from New York to Chicago, through the
magical power of the telegraph. The match
therefore assumes somewhat of national i'm
Portance in the regard of chess players general
ly. The American Telegraph Company, 1t is
stated, made the offer to play the game free of
all charge.
In 1856, the New York Chess Club and the
Atheneum Club of Philadelphia played match
by correspondence, which resulted in the defeat
of the New York Club. Since that time efforts
to bring about return match" have failed
from various causes, mainly because neither
party was able to give the attendance of its best
players in the other city. The iberality of the
Telegraph Company enabled the parties eager
for the fray to conduct it one hundred miles
apart, aud on the 9th challenge was transmit
ted to the n Y. Club, and by them promptly
accepted The first move was drawn by New
York.
The New York Club is represented by Messrs.
Lichtenheim, Fiske, Mead, Thompson, and
Perrin, and the Philadelphia by Nessrs. Mont
gOmey, EIkin, Thomas, Randolph, and DR..
Lewis. The Philadelphia Bulletin says it
would be difficult to produce ten stronger play
srE in America, and model game may be an
ticipated.
The New YOrkers played in the rotunda of
the Merchants Exchange, and the Philadelphians |
in the private Offices of the American Telegraph |
Company. The first evening New York made
IL and Philadelphia II moves. No important !
advantage was gained on either side.
Morphy's success in Europe seems to have
awakened fresh interest in the game among |
chess players. Since he has been in Europe, |
upto the time of the close Ofthe Harrwitz game,
MOrphy has played one hundred and seventeen
games, sixteen of which he lost, eighty-eight |
won, and thirteen drawn

CRY RAILROADS VS.. OMNIBUssEs.-There are
now sixty miles of passenger railways in Ope-
ration in the city of Philadelphia, and the horse
cars crowd off the omnibus lines just as the
steam cars have the stage lines throughout the
country. The omnibuses do not yield without a
struggle, and on some of the lines have put
down fare to three cents. In some instances
the Omnibusses have taken the track just ahead
of the railway cars, and so annoyed By slow
driving and unnecessary stoppages as to lead
to rows between drivers and their partisans-
It seems, however, 10 be agreed on all hands
that the days of omnibusses in Philadelphia are
numbered

SNow AND COLD.-While our brief "Squaw
Winter" has been mild, the cold snap has been
severe in some quarters. 1t was announced
from the Northwest on the 18th that Lake Pc
pin was nearly frozen over and the snow was
inches deep at La Crosse, and the weather was
quite winterish about Lake Superior at the Ia
test dates. At Montreal on the 18th the sleigh
ing was tolerably good, and mercury ls Q
above zero. At White River Junction only
above, and at Brunswick, Maine, the AndrOs-
soggin river was frozen over

BEAR KILLED Sunday morning while
a laborer living at Fort Gratiot, was proceeding
in boat to his work at Port Huron, he came
up with huge bear, swimming across. He
struck his bearship blow over the head with
his oar, when the enraged animal made for him,
and climbing into the boat compelled the man
to take TO the water. The bear then followed
him, and the man eontrived to get into the boat
again. A neighbor seeing his predicament
came to his relief with an axe, and broke up
this pleasant game of "tag." between the man
and the bear, by breaking in the latter's head
DE was killed and brought ashore. He is said
to De OF the largest size, and will doubtless
weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 400
