The PRIVILEGE OF JoBBrNa MoNoPoLrzED By
THE LEGIsLAruRE.-The extensive scheme of
railroad jobs which the Common Council Of
this city and its fellow conspirators had in
contemplation, is knocked on the head by the
Legislature, who have taken all power out Of
the hands of the Common Council, and from
the property owners. As to city railroads, and
vested the power solely in themselves. They
came to the conclusion, with the aid of the
lobby, that 1t was too good . thing to leave
with the Common Council, and too good .

The SENATE COMMITTEE ON THE BROWN RAD
It seems more than possible that the Investi-
eating Committee of the Senate will find some
difficulty In procuring reliable evidence as to
the parties connected with the John Brown
conspiracy. Enough, however, has been ascer-
tanned to show the necessity for such COM
mittee. The conspiracy was evidently care
fully concocted plot, well prepared before.
hand, known to large number of promi-
nent black republicans, and failed utterly be-
cause Of the fidelity of the slaves to their
masters If John Brown had been Joined by
any considerable number of negroes, and had
made stand for few days until reinforced
by his friends in Ohio, Northern New York,
Vermont and Massachusetts,, the conflict would
have been very serious one. AS it was, it
worked great deal Of mischief, and it is the
duty of the government to collect all the facts
on the subject and lay them before the coun-
try. Let us know who are the traitors in fact
and act, who are their accessories, and what
prominent men, Senators it may be, have been
guilty of misprision of treason.
So far the Committee has done its duty
well. Al tHo Case Vi Auy VIC see tnAL
he complains because he was not permitted
to give his version of the Pottowatomie mas
sacre, in Kansas when Brown and several others
took the Doyles out of their beds at night and
murdered them in cold blood. Army desired to
relieve the memory of Brown from the odium
Of this crime; but the testimony was proper
ly ruled out-frst, because the Committee
is not investigating the Kansas matter, and
second, because all the evidence of all the Ar
nys in the country would not wash out the stain
from Old Browns name. Without doubt the
Doyles fell by his hand. So says the widow,
who ought to know. Meantime, two important
witnesses, Fred Douglass and Sanborn, have dis
appeared. Fred is being petted and tsted by
the old dowagers Of Exeter Hall, and Sanborn
is supposed to be on the sea. Hyatt says he win
not testify. and Giddings and Redpath may as
sumo the same attitude as that taken by Hyatt.
The Committee will not, however, be deferred
from the investigation by the obstinacy of these
persons, who are seeking the empty honors of
sixpenny martyrdom. They had better do one
of two things-either tell the truth, or else
follow Sanborn and Douglass across the sea-
If they would only stay abroad every one here
would be delighted. Meantime, we wish our
British cousins much joy over their acquisition
Of American exiles, white and black.
