THE CORPORATION COUNSEL and THE JUG
MtNTs AGAINST TIE CrrY.-At che meeting of
the Board OF Aldermen last night, communiea-
ton was received from the Corporation Counsel
explaining away the silly cherges brought
against him that the ouerous Judgments obtaiued
against the city resulted Srom the fact that the
suits were not defended by Mr.. Busteed
From this statement, which we publish in our
report of the proceedings of the Board, 1t ap
pears that there were over four hundred cases
against the city disposed of during the past year
and that every one Of these was defended, aud
the plaintiff obliged to prove his claim, except
about twenty or thirty and these were allowed
to so by default, either by the express direction
of Comptroller Flagg, or because written
statement from the head of the appropriate
department, to the effect that there was no de-
fence, was received by the Corporation Counsel.
Mr.. Busted complains that the Street Depart
ment refused him the necessary information to
move for setting aside a Judgment ia case
where an alleged fraud existed. lie states
further, that many of the suits gained were for
the salaries of officials, which Mr. Flagg refused
to pay unless sued for and put in Judgment.
Thus, it will be seen that the Corporation
Counsel did his duty in the matter-the snarling
OF discohtented journalists to the contrary not
withstanding- and that the principal part of the
blame rests with the ex-COmptroller and the
Common Council.

ANoTHER RAILROAD CONVENTION OF
Irs-There was another railroad convention at
the ST. Nicholas Hotel yesterday, and It is
claimed that an agreement has been entered into
by which the existing difficulties, as they are
called, have been settled. This means that they
think they have formed combination which
will hold together, and secure the largest pos
sble fares and freights from the public with the
smallest possible accommodations
The fact is, these conventions never have
amounted to much. There have been we don't
know how many of them, because they are kept
secret when it is possible to do 70. They have
always been useless because neither road ap-
pears to have the ri ghtcst idea Of keeping its
agreement. The only result from them is APP
parently a pleasant meeting at fashionable
hotel here in Washington or somewhere else,
for the presidents and directors, with perhaps
champagne and oysters at the expense OF the
poor shareholders many Of whom are in want
of food for loss Of dividends. II these roads
costing in the neghborhood Of one hundred mil
lions of dollars-cannot be worked proGtably
on their own individual merits, we think the
best way for them would be to wind up for the
benefit of the mortgages, and sell out to the
highest bidder.
