The act for the Protection Of the Property Rights
of Married Women, which has passed both branches
of our Legislature and now lacks only the approval
of the Governor to become law, is the most CON-
prebensiye and thorough measure of the kind ever
passed by legislative body. We DO not see that,
though less would have been inadequate, more could
reasonably be desired so far as property is con-
cerned That act viii enable FIVE thousand women
in our State to earn and save and live on their own
resources who are now living on sufierance, and
whose furniture, and even clothing, in the case of
each, belongs to reprobate OF dfuokard who first
deceived, then deserted her, leaving her to toll in
penury for bare subsistence liable at any moment
to be stripped of her ALL by the brute who has made
Der life wretched. We wish the act had said ex-
press)y that wdowed mother shall not be deprived
of her own children by her husbands will but shall
be their guardian whenever the proper authority
does not appoint another; but the act is so good
that we can hardly speak of this as fault Let us
rejoice that, in spite of all discOuraging appear
aDces, the world does move.

The Diario de la Marina has news from Vera
Cruz, of the same date as our telegram published
on Friday that Commander Oldham, of II. B. NJ.
frigate Valorous, has procured the commencement
of negotiations between Miramon and the Constitu-
tional Government. Mr.. Oldham is said to have
received instructions from Lord John Russell to
propose an armistice, and to attempt an adjustment
on the basis of Congress, which should give
new government to the country, the only prescribed
condition of which should be- civil and religious
liberty. Mr. Oldham went to Miramon's head
quarters, taking only the son of the English Consul
as an interpreter. Miramon is said to have an
swered that he would receive propositions if Juarez
had any to make. lie offered to send flag of truce,
and did so on the 2dinstant, accompanied by an es
cort of 400, among whom, it is surmised, was
Miramon himself. The flag brought two letters,
supposed TO come from Miramon.

TOLLTNG RAILROADS.

We perceive by the proceedings of the Senate on
Friday and Saturday last that the Central Railroad
has again beaten khe People in an important issue
before that body of "graye and potent seniors"
We refer to the attempt made to increase the reve
Dues of the State by the establishment of tolls on
the Central and some other railroads, which in
its passage through the Senate was, by union of
the Democratic with portion of the Republican
Senator'S so changed and transformed as to make
il measure for increasing the revenue of the Gen.
trail Railroad at the expense of the people living
along the line of its track, while doing next to
nothing for the relief of the public exchequer.
Our readers are already aware that the Assem-
bly, passed bill imposing for term of three
years, tolls During the season of nayigaton) on the
freight passing such railroads as compete with
he canals of the State-a measure, so far at least
as the Central is concerned of simple justice and of
public necessity This bill was sent to the Senate,
where it was so amended as to provide that the
roads may commute by the payment of gross sums
nto the treasury, quarterly or otherwise, amount
ng for the term of three years, to $500 900 for the
Central Road, S240 900 for the Erie, and some
thing like $50 600 for other roads, and at the same
time permitting the Central to increase their way
passenger fare % per cent; the result of which
would be that the Central-whicb, above all other
roads, ought by the terms of its original charter or
charters, to contribute to the State revenues a
sum equal to the tolls on the freight which it
takes from the Erie Canal-wOuld be enriched at
least half million of dollars by the operation, pay
ing into the State Treasury $780, and receiving
in the way of extra fares 1000 900 at east-per-
haps nearer $l,200,O00. In the mean time, the
poverty stricken Erie road, which was not expected
to pay tolls at the time of receiving its charter,
must stand the bIunt and pay up lis quota without
any equivalent. Another serious objection to this
scheme of Mr.. SessiOns-Or rather of the Central
Railroads. that it will in measure tie up the
hands of the State, so that it cannot control the
question of increasing the canal tolls to the highest
revenue point The substitution of the Sessions
bill for that of the Assembly will decrease the Canal
revenue at least one million dollars annually.
This whole scheme is well understood at Albany
as Central Railroad measure. IL is notorious that
a caucus was recently held at the instgation of the
Central Railroad by the Democratic Senator's and
portion Of the Republicans, when this scandalOus
scheme was cOncocted and where the parties to the
caucus were pledged to put it through by daylight
or more likely by gasght. The refusal of Mr..
Lapham to call Republican caucus at the request
of fourteen Republican Senators, to consider this
subject before the final vote should be TAKEN is no
doubt to be accounted for on the suppostion that
the subject had been lin his judgment) sufficiently
considered in the caucus already referred to.
