In thus graduating these perquisites to the
press, the reader cannot fail to admire the tact
displayed in measuring each journal according
to the length of its breeches. With the same
degree of wisdom and liberality in the other
proposed advances Of the lobby managers for
this Broadway road there can hardly be a doubt
of its success. Indeed, it is said that Thurlow
Weed plumes himself upon holding this pre-
sent Legislature in the palm of his hand, and
that, with the experience of his statistics in
the matter of "free woor at Washington, he
entertains no doubt Of the success of every AL
bany scheme on his present schedule that can be
made to pay. We presume Master Weed is
ready to listen to all sorts of bids upon this rail-
road, and all other jobs from all sorts Of opera
tors in the business Of the Albany lobby.

The FUTURE Position or SENATOR DOUGLAS
We have our suspicious that Mr.. Senator Douglas
has no serious intention Of casting himself out
side the pale of any healthy political organiza-
tion Notwithstanding all the positive declara-
tons Of the Chicago Times and the Chcvalicr
Forncy, of war to the knife against the admins
tration and the regular democracy on the part
of the Little Giant" Ills reelection TO the
Senate ought to satisfy him for the present; and
IL his late derelictions have rendered him posi-
lively ineligible for Charleston, in 1860 there il
yet the prospect before him of full recovery Of
all the ground he has lost in the interval to
1864. We cannot believe that he ia ready upon
personal disllkcs and antipathies 10 plunge

EFFECTS OF RECKLESS SPECULATION AND Ex-
PANsIoN.-We have repeatedly stated in these
columns that the effects Of the late financial
crisis, and the reckless speculation which was its
precursor. would continue to afford sad exam
pies all through the country for some years to
come. Two striking instances bearing out this
view have just been presented to us, illustrating
the consequences Of the wild speculations which
characterized the period preceding the revul-
sion. One OF them is furnished by an Eastern
State, the other by far Western one. First, of
the latter. II appears that The debt of the little
city of Keokuk, off in Iowa. has grown to u pro-
portion equal to seventy-ive dollars for every
inhatitant-to sum, in fact, amounting to
Sl.l50,C00, quarter of million Of which has
been incurred for municipal expenses, and the
balance for railroad and other operations. Keo-
kuk is on the verge of bankruptcy, of course;
the people cannot raise the taxes necessary for
its own government. And what does it do? 1t
proposes to its creditors to wipe off fifty per cent of
their claims, and assures them, bya circular from
the Mayor of the city, that its debt now nearly
quadruples the limit allowed by the constitution
of Iowa. The agents of the city are now coming
to New York to make these liberal terms with
their creditors. This is one of the strongest
illustrations yet furnished of the mischievous
and immoral system of expansion SO universally
practised all over the West.
The other case referred to shows the result of
reckless individual speculation in railroad bonds
and stocks sale of property belonging to q
firm in New London, Connecticut, took place the
other day, at which a large number of the
shares of one road were sold for five and a half
cents each; $4,000 second mortgage bonds of the
same road brought s44 so; and $1,000 income
bonds were sold for 81, or one mill on the dol
lar. 1t is quite probable that these stocks and
bonds were bought originally at par, or q little
below, which arc now sacrificed at these unprc-
cedcntly reduced rates.
There is moral in these two cases which
may serve future operators whether cities or
commercial frms--and We may expect to sec
similar transactions turning up from time to
time

William Gathright, city watchmsn, was ex-

of assaulting and choking Samuel W. Henry, a
deputy Constable, while in the discharge of his
oficiai duty Henry had two executions against
the accased, and after informing the party of the
fact, took occasion to execute them. He went to
G.'s residence knocked at the door, told G.. his
business, and then rushed into G-'s house to make
a levy. g. seized him by the throat and choked
him severely, but possibly with no intention to
ipjure him. Gathright said the Constable rudely
pushed the door fn his face, striking his nose,
which excited him, but that he had intention
of resisting the law or Of iujuring Henry. After
further explanations between the parties, the
Mayor said he could not overlook the resistance
to the Commonw ealth on the part of one of his
officers, and therefore dismissed him from the
Night Watch.
