vote in all emergencies. The absurdity and I'M
pudence OF this assumption are apparent, and
need no further comment.

BLACK MAI. ADyERTIsING.--We notice that
the press, North and South, is paying a great
deal of attention of late to the operations of
the conductor of small, obscure aud misera-
BILE sheet which is printed in the interior Of
Georgia, and which purports to give white and
black lists of New York merchants who are en-.
gagged in the Southern trade. The firms which
are supposed to be sound ON the slavery ques-
ton appear with the sheep, in the white list, and
the abolition concerns are putwith the goats, in
the black calendar. And ii is further alleged
that the whole thing is an ingenious way of rails
ing money out of the New York merchants, who
pay roundly for the privilege Of appearing in
the white list We cannot pretend to Judge as
to how much truth there may be in these
charges, but we do think that if any one pays
for information of this kind it is very absurd
and very stupid. It can be obtained without
the slightest difficulty, and at the smallest pos
sible expense, by examining the advertising
columns of the Tribune, Times, Courier and En-
q,tirer, Independent, Evening Post and other
abolition journals. The black list for Southern
buyers may be made up from the columns Of
these journals, and the white List from those Of
the national conservative press. It is well
known fact that the merchants of abolition ten
denotes advertise in the newspapers which ad-
vocate their theories even if their circulation
does not exceed thousand or two. The ad-
vertising is given to keep the abolition papers
alive; it is political, not business operation.
Therefore, if Southern buyers desire to obtain
a complete and reliable black list they can get
it from the columns of the abolition press
weekly or daily.

THE ALBANY TIMERS AND THE CENTRAL
PARK.-A desperate effort is being made in the
Legislature at Albany to take the management
of the Central Park out of the hands of the
present Commissioners, and this attempt is the
work of the same set of scheming, contempti-
Die politicians who have been tinkering the city
charter, and interposing their mischievous in
fluence in everything concerning the affairs Of
the metropolis, to the confusion and ruin of all
wholesome government here.
These set Of fellows, always hungering for
public spoils, cannot endure to see the expen-
.diture of the public money controlled by
honest and respectable men, and they are al
ways devising some scheme whereby they can
obtain the handling of it themselves. Now,
the present Commissioners of the Central Park
are men of responsibility, integrity and good
character, who take pride in the duties de-
volving upon them. They have done remark
ably well so far in conducting the affairs of the
Park, and though in this, as in all great public
works involving great foresight and large ex-
penditure, there may possibly have occurred
some trivial errors, on the whole they have
SuCSeooeu Ii 0AAnSnAS VIC o1A w SIoat per
fection-fn rendering it at least available, in q
comparatively brief period, to many of the re-
quirements of the people; for example, in fur
nishing excellent roads for riding and driving,
beautiful ramble for pedestrians, and a fine
skating pond for winter exercise. We trust,
therefore, that they will be protected in the ex-
ercise of their functions from the corrupt In
'termeddling of the scheming politicians, under
whose management, If they should succeed in
obtaining it, our splendid Park will be reduced
TO miserable job, and the intention of the de-
s'gners of the Park be entirely defeated.

Jusr ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINAL LAW
The proceedings of the last session of the
Court of Oyer and Terminer, we are happy to
perceive, furnish an illustration of the proper
administration of criminal law, which has been
somewhat rare of late in this city. Judge In
graham has not been sparing in dealing out
punishment to the offenders convicted before
him of grave crimes ag ainst the life and pro-
perry of our citizens, and in this respect he has
wisely followed in the footsteps of Judge Rus
cell. Several cases of murder, manslaughter,
felonious assault with intent to kill, forgery
and ENLIGHTENMENT, have been visited by
heavy sentences proportionate to the crimes
charged. In the case Of Lane, the Fulton
Bank defauiter, he refused the application for a
new trial-an application of late too frequently
granted, very much to the detriment of law and
Justice and has sentenced him to an imprson-
ment of three years and three months in the
State prison. 1t is, no doubt, very much to be
regretted, for the sake of the young man him
self, his family and connections, that he should
be visited with this heavy and disgracefnl
penalty; but we cannot help feeling, at the
same time, that for the protection Of society
and the maintenance of the law, it becomes
necessary to inaict punishment for crimes Of
this character. There have been many cases
of bank defalcations in this city for some years
past; but through the folly or mistaken policy
of bank directors they have been hushed up.
One conviction and one example, like this of
Lare's, will do much to put a stop to the COM
mission of crimes of this nature, which the
fears or the clemency of bank directors have
done good deal to encourage.
