Board, the funds in the treasury were not en-

liberal aid from the public, this winter, to allie

by the report, that during the past winter
two hundred and fifty persons received assist

press Dowager of Russia is dead. This is the
widow of the great Emperor Nicholas, whose
bereavement in the spring OF 1855, while Russia
was involved in her desperate war with the
allied powers, made such a sensation through
out the world. Her name as Empress was
Alexandra FeodoIo owna, though before her
marriage she was called the Princess Frederika
Louisa Oharlotta WilheimiDa. She was a
daughter of King Frederick William Ill. of
Prussia, and a sister of the present King and
the Prince Regent Of that kingdom. She was
born July 18th, I79e, and was married to

The PePsCapitu,

About $l2, 900 is supposed to be due from
the street railroad companies for the capita
tion tax, which they seem to have no inten-
ton to pay. The City Solicitor has RETAINED
from commencing suit, it is said, because he
expected the thing would be fixed up some
way. Perhaps his faith in the result of a
suit was not of a kind to remove any vast
ranges of mountains.
1t makes but little difference whether he
sues or not. The claim is really founded
neither in law nor right. The event of suit
is by no means promising to the city. 1t
is to the companies question of respectable
profits, or the sinking of their whole prop
erty. They are not going to be sacrificed
without an effort. And the event of a suit
that involves a fund which accumulates
while the suit goes on, at the rate Of twenty
or thirty thousand dollars year, may be too
far off for this generation.
There is one consolation, however: the
people pay full price for riding in the cars,
all the same. What comfort that ought
to be to a City Parentl But for the Roman
frmness of the City Council, this capitation
fund might have been released on the fare of
the passengers, instead of accumulating in
the hands Of the companies. That, of course,
is not to be thought of. The idea of the peo-
pie of this city having the privilege of riding
on their own streets at as low fares as the
companies are willing to carry them for, can
not be contemplated by City Sire without
alarm. 1t is contrary to all the principles of
municipal government in ''the best-governed
city in the Union, and would tear down the
frame work of society.

THE satisfactory arrangement of running
time over the intricate network Of railways
now covering the Great West"-says the
railroad editor of the Commercial-"is a
problem more difficult to solve than that
which sent Pythagoras into. the streets
shouting Eureka" 1t is probable that the
problem aforesaid is difficult enough; but,
with all Difference to the superior informa-
tion of our metropolitan cotemporary, it
was not Py ythagoras who said Eureka; or if
that illustrious individual did say Eureka,
nobody happened TO hear him, which is
pretty much the same thing. If our mem
ory serves us, it was one Archimides who
made the proclamation alluded to, and that
under circumstances which, lad lie been
within the jurisdiction of Mayor Bishop,
would have caused him to be sent up for
thirty days as q person who could give no
good account of himself There is proven
bial expressiOn-Perhaps Pythagoras was the
authorize SUtOr ultra erGpidGmE let the cob
Ter stick to his last-which the writers Of
railway paragraphs, not very well posted in
the classics might pro6tably remember.

The Burch Case and the telegraph.
Since the opening of the testimony on the
TART of the defendant, in the Chicego divorce
case, the telegraph has become as reticent
in its reports as before it was expansive.
This fact gives significance TO The suspicion
that this vehicle ofintelliecnce, which should
be incorruptible, has been doing the work Of
the plaintiff in an endeavor to enlist the
public on bis side of the litigation. None
but the meanest of mankind would be guilty
of such an attempt and no telegraph COM
pany conducted upon correct principles
would knowingly lend its aid to 50 wicked
an enterprise.
1t is instructive to observe how such efforts
| defeat themselves and in this ease, through
the OVERRIDING of his part, so much knowl-
edge of the plaintiff has been elected, that
however imprudent in her behavior Mrs.
Burch may have been, her offenses become
almost excusable in the light of the exhibit
tons that are being made of the character of
her husband, in whom, by his own showing,
the knave and the hypocrite appear to have
effected a most harmonious combination.
1t is question worthy of some considera-
tion by gentlemen connected with the tele-
graph, how far such causes are justifable;
how far, indeed, in a pecuniary point of
view, they are safe. Take the present case
for our example; Here is woman hitherto
highly esteemed by a large circle of friends,
prosecuted by her husband with a view to
n divorce. Even before the suit is COM
menced, the telegraph seizes upon the float
ing scandal and scatters it all over the world.
What the facts are nobody but the parties
upon, and in order to give piquancy to the
item, colored up and magnifed. Now,
whatever the facts may be, has not this
woman right to consider herself perse-
cutted2 Are not such things calculated to
subject her to unnecessary disturbance and
and disrepute; and if so, is she not entitled
to redress?
The trial of the case begins, and the de-
velopments as they progress all indicate that
before any public exposure was made, the
plaintiff had been laying his plans, preparing
his literature, fixing upon the character in
which he was to appear before the COM
munity, and providing the machinery by |
means of which to make the public party |
in sympathy to his griefs and his injuries.
The testimony on his part proceeds, and |
nothing so free as the telegraph to aid in its
widest dissemination. Confessions extorted |
from terrified woman by force or false
hood, are winged with the lightning and sent
to the farthest corners of the land; and even
thejealousies and suspicious of the malignant
and vulgar are, in this way, clothed with an
Importance far beyond their entitlements.
When the time comes for the woman to be
heard, the zeal Of the telegraph suddenly
ceases. The stimulus that prompted its ex-
ertions seems to have passed away. 1t has
spread abroad the testimony against wo-
man, and there it has suddenly rested from
its labors and its sacrifices. What are we
to think of the springs by which it is moved?

The census which the City Council or
dered to be taken, shows the population of
the city to be III, ,293, being an increase of
about 0, 900 over the Federal census. Some
time ago we showed by irrefragable argu-
ments that larger population was not
thing to be wished for, as it would be shar-
ing our comforts and prosperity with larger
number, making it proportionately poorer.
Of course, we expect to endure what we
actually have; and as the city census, taken
by men Of character, shows an increase of
10000 people, we shall be resigned to it, as
the order Of Providence; and shall console
our readers for the reduction which this
division of the aggregate wealth among
10000 more inhabitants makes in each one
share, by the sage reflection that poverty is
most conducive to temperance, virtue and
happiness. 1t is great misfortune to be
rich. Rev Mr.. Cumming, he that breaches
the end Of the world, Gays he would not be
rich for any sum; and a man so near the
end of the world ought to speak the truth.
There can be no doubt now about this
beng' the Queen City of the West; and
whenever we take to expanding our city
limits, as other cities do, so as to take in the
suburban villages, we have 10000 more to
draw on.

The UnIon.snrIrr Committes

The appointment of Mr.. Corwin as Chair
man of this committee, naturally brings to
mind the last Union-saying Committee,
which resulted in a set of measures, among
which was the Fugitive-slaye Law which
Mr.. Corwin, then member of the Cabinet,
supported, and which destroyed the Wing
party. The thing looks rather ominous Of
the fate of Republicanism. Since it is to be
done for so soon, IT is rather a wonder what
il was begun for.
