AFTER $4,000.

We learn from sundry of our contemporaries that
the Editor or Publisher or some one else connected
with THE TRIBUNE, has been sued for $50, 600
damages by some person, who says he is owner of,
or otherwise connected with, vessel some time
since reported in our columns as a SLAYER. Though
we have seen this several times stated we think
there must be some mistake about it, For, in the
first place, none of are conscious of having been
arrested or otherwise annoyed by reason OF any
such suit; in the next place. we think the owner of
the vessel in question, if she be Gas we trust an
honest one, engaged in legitimate trade, must
rather thank us for our efforts to break up the
nefariOus traffic in human flesh, than attempt to
worry us in, and repel us from, that thritless
undertaking. 1t is perfectly well known that very
many American vessels are employed in this
horrible man-stealiDg; and some of our cotem-
poraries (but they know they he) from day to day
assert that this business is largely carried on by
Black Republicans" The United States
functonaries at this port have VIGOROUSLY
been very slack in their pursuit of
slavers. In view Of these deplorable facts, we
have done what we could to ferret out the slavers
that have recently sailed from this or neiehborng
ports, and hold them up to public reprobaton.
We have meant to be entirely accurate in our
statements; but, as every SLAYER pretends to be an
honest ship and DISCUSSES her black intent so far
ne possible stouty protesting her innocence if i'm
peacbed, We may have been deceived in some case
or cases, and fixed suspicion on u vessel engaged
in legitimate traffic; and it does not always an.

BRITIsH FREE.TRADE.

The triumph of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
in carrying his resolution on the Paper Duties
through the House of Common by majority Of
80, seems to be considered ir England, to judge
frem the tone OF the public press triumph of
party rather than Of principle. 1t is even very
broadly charged, in some quarters, that Mr. Glad
stone like the boy who made faces at the sister of
the lad he could not whip, was determined to
punish The paper manufacturers, whom he could
reach that he might ayenge himself upon the
House of Lords, whom he could not reach for
the course they saw fit TO pursue in relation to
this subject few weeks ago. The resolution,
however was sustained by its advocates,
first, because it was demanded of England
that good faith in regard to the recent
treaty should be kept with France and
secondly, because The British policy of Free
Trade required this C. owning act. 1t was GEN.
tended, on the other hand that when the treaty
was ade it universally Understood that any
change in the paper duties was contingent on the
PEI mission of The free export of rags from France
and that as this not granted, 50 the other was
not obligatory. And it was also urged upon the
House that sudden charge of policy in regard to
an important branch Of domestic industry, which
gave employmen to large amount of capital, and
to fifty thousand people, should not be forced in 80
abrupt manner upon the country, but that a
longer time should be given to consider the subject
in all its bearings, and further opportunity al.
lowed to France to fulfill if she should be 50 dis
posed her implied pledge as to the export of rags.
These considerations, though very warmly urged,
failed to influence the House, and the Ministry
triumpbed.
Whether the paper interest Of Great Britain is
strong enough to Withstand this blow, time alone
can determine. That some suffering and distress
will be inflicted BY it upon the smaller manufactur-
ers, ia unquestionabe, though the actual duty
removed is only about five farthings. This must
Inevitably be- Soft there is any force in the argu
ment of the friends Of the measure that publishers

STATE POLITICS AND POLICY.
The Albany Erening Journal takes Offense at
our printing the following resolve passed at re-
cent Republican Ward meeting 10 Brooklyn:

Reored That desire express dislPprobahon the
~ monopoly to oppTes the people Of Kings county and
also ssppove Of the odum which he has fastened upon the
party by the nefaous legislation which has dsgraced
the history our and that ndOrse Gov MOrg4ns
he has thwed the schemes Of the chief Of the
lobby and bis associate plundeTers."
If The Journal means only that we shall "say
L" TO his face" whatever we may have TO offer on
the topics glanced at in the above, we entirely
agree in that conviction. The Brooklyn resolve
would never have thus appeared in our columns
had it met the eye of the Editor. For, in the first
place. it is not at all clear to US that what is allied
" the Union Ferry Monopoly" does "oppress the
"people of Kings County," aud, if it does, we ap-
prehend that the Corporation of our city-which
charges that Ferry Company $4,000 per annum
for its franchses-is quite as much responsible for
the oppression" as is the Ferry Company. We
are not sure that it would be right for the Legsla
ture to step in and arbitrarily compel that Com.
pany, thus heavily taxed, to carry all fOOt-passn-
gers for one cent per crossing; we are not sure
that even the permanent interest of Brooklyn would
be promoted by such an edict. One result might
be curtailment of Ferry accOmm odations, espe-
eialIy by night and on the longer and less fire.
quented routes, which would be most undesirable
and unwelcOme. Our impression is that the Fulton
and perhaps one other short ferry might be run for
one cent but that the whole could not be, and pay
he present exactOns of our City, without most
unwelcome curtailment of night service. We trust
this whole matter may be speedily investigated by
an able and upright Committee or Commission, and
that the Legislature may, upon its report, do
whatever is fair and just; but we do not at all
regret that our last Legislature did not, mperfecty
informed as it WAS pass the bill submitted to it by
Messrs. John A. Dayton & Co.
But there is another aspect of this matter which
we do not regard with satisfaction; and, since
The Journal has called our attention to the subject
we will present it frankly.
Mr.. John A. Dayton is Brooklyn Alderman,
and leading agitator for one-cent ferrage. He
went up to Albany in that capacity last Winter,
taking with him some $4,000 of City funds, Of
which something over $4,000 never returned
though the Cheap eriage bill did not pass. Being
called to account in the Board, be made q state
