IL sbould have been, and that Million must be
taxed out Of tie pockets Of tie people. Perhaps
thOse who have pock,tod the Railroad gold can JIM
gle it in the faces of their overtsxed neghbors; but
we can hardly think it possible.
Let us give single lees notorious instance Of the
utter reckles,pess Of this dead Legislature. When
the Republican caucus met at the outset to nomi-
nate candidates for Speaker, &C., Mr. MlIliken Of
Westchester offered resolve condemning the
modern practices of voting grataites or extras to
clerks doorbeepers, 80, and resolving that it
must now stop. There was some squirting; but
the resolve was adopted, with few or no votes in
opposition. Yet near the end Of this same session,
in full view of q ratio Of taxation heavy beyond
precedent this same Assembly voted those very
gratuities as freely favishly, as any predecessor
had done! Ia it possible that those who thus stul-
tilted themselves in order to rob their constituents
can have the hardihoOd to face the people Us csndi

But look at the browning infamy of the passage
of blu after bill over the Governors vetoes--vetoes

Among other great abuses connected with the
supply of sailors to our merchant vessels is the
practice so generally followed by sailor boarding
house keepers and their subOrdinates of enticing
away the crews of all such foreign vessels as enter
the hsIbor. A British bark lying in the stream and
beset by company of these fellows, succeeded, as
will be seen in police items, in getting the aid
Of the HarbOr Police, and SO escaping for the mo-
ment the loss of her crew. This may answer SO
long a vessel lies in the stream, but the moment
foreign ship touches the wharf, the captain loses
all power of retaining or controlling his men. The
boarding -bOuse runners come boldly on board the
vessel, and entce away the men under the eyes of
the officers, who, if they attempt any opposition,
are liable to be waylaid and beaten; while any at
tempt to recover the deserters by legal means after
they have once left the vessel is perfectly futile
The men are enticed away under representations of
the high wages to be got on board American YES
sels; and the landlord, after the men have run
up bill for board and liquor, generally ships them
on board some of the vessels in the Liverpool
trade, putting the large advance thus obtained into
his own pocket and TOO often exposing the men thus
shipped to most scandal0us il.treatment; some
times on the part of the officers Of these vessels,
and almost certainly on the part of certain Of the
crew, DULLES, and bruiseIs, known as " old rats"
who sail in these vessels for the very purpose of
robbiDg and tyraDniziDg over such greenhorns as
they D0y find on board, Thus, not only are men
Obtantd for service carefully avoided by the gen.
eraliiy of sailors familiar with the HarbOr of New
York. bot another job is also provided in furnishing
new crews for the vessels thus stripped of their
sailors The whole procedure ia highly demOrsli.
zpg, ard Ike some other Thugs connected with the
mercantile sea service of New-York, cries very
loudly for amendment.

THE ENGLISH PROVISION.

The bill for the admission Of Kansas having
passed the House by most triumphant majority
Only three Northern members having voted against
1.-THE Journal Of Commerce, remembering that
new Presidential election is approaching, and mind
ful, we suppose, of the conspicuous part which
Kansas played in the last canvass, hopes that the
Senate will rot sist upon taking advantage OF the
population provision of the English BILL to keep
Kansas still in Territorial condition 1t suggests
that, as the English bill made no specific provision
for ascertainng the number of the people, the SEN
ate will be warranted in concluding, from the num-
Der of votes cast at the recent elections, that
Kansas actually has the population required
But this is giving an Importance to the English
provision which it does not by any means deserve
What right had the last Congress to prescribe the
terms upon which alone Kansas should be admitted
into the Union TIE last Congress was at liberty,
if it cav ct, to insist on an amount of population
under Free Labor Constitution, which it did not
require under Constitution VIII ca recognized and
perpetuated Slavery. II was at liberty to demand
of Kansas, Republican community, as preliminary
to her admission as a State, an amount of popula-
ton which it dad not insist upon in the case of Ore
gon of whose vote the Democratic party felt sure.
Bat, is the present Congress under any obligation
TO ndorse and second such unfair and unequalpro
ceediDgsl Whatever conditions the last Congress
might think fit to prescribe as essential to the ,d
mission Of Kanfas as State, the binding force of
those conditions expired with the Congress that i'm
posed them. The present just free to act
upon the question of admission as if Nr Eogsh and
bis provision bad never existed. 1t was quite enough
for the last Congress to keep Kansas out of the
Union during the period of its own legislative exist
epce. To undertake to tie up the hands of the
present CoDgress-f such was the intention-was
a piece of sheer impertinence. Many sins as the
last Congress has to answer for we acquit it of
this. The English provision was merely one OF
the devices resored to for the purpose of coaxing
bribing, or frightening the people of Kansas into
the adoption of the Lecompton Constitution. That
purpose having failed, the provision has discharged
it's Office. 1t was never intended TO control the
action of the present Congress- aud, if the Senate
wish to keep Kansas out of the Union, they cannot
skulk behind it. They must assume themselves the
entire responsibility.

POOR PRYOR AND HIS CREATURE
CHHNMAN.

Ifany thing were needed TO complete the disgrace
of Roger A. Pryor, and mingle pity with the con-
tempt in which he is universally held ii ID furnished
in the two notes contained in the Gard" of his
" friend" Mr.. Cbisnap published by us yesterday,
ard which were not delivered to Mr.. Potter.
These two notes are doubtless intended TO furnish
the ground upon which this chivalric Yirginan is TO
again swagger and vaunt in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes under the protection of its rules. But
few stubborn facts stand in bis way:
Alexandria, the place where he retreated from
Washington, with which 1t is connected By river, rail-
road and carriage road. But there is every reason
10 believe that Pryor was much nearer Washington
while the correspondence with Potter was going on
And though ChismaD, in bis note TO Lander decln-
ing to accept of his terms (bowie kniyes) for the
fight, says, " must without referring your note
&" to my principal Cor even seeing him), refuse"
&c, nobody at Washington believes that lbs terms
were not communicated by somebody to Pryor.
Lander's note, conveying the proposition 10 fight
with knives was delivered to Chisman about III
o'clock p. m. on Thursday, and Chsman's reply
was not received till 4 a. 10. the next morning. In
the intervening four and half hours, there was
ample time for somebody to bear its contents to
Alexandria, where Pryor claims to have been, and,
certainly abundant time to carry them to George
town, only two miles from Washington, where it is
believed, on good evidence, that Pryor then was.
Therefore, the attempt to throw the RESPONSE.
bty Of the refusal to meet Potter with knives upon
Cbisman, the second, rather than upon Pryor, the
principal, is failure. And this posthumous cor
respOndence containing the two valiant notes from
Pryor, but neither of which ever got to Potter, was
manufactured as temporary shelter under which
Pryor might dodge, for tho time from the pitles
storm of contempt and ridicule that everybody i
raining down upon him.
Other facts tend also 70 prove that these two
notes were the result of al afterthOught. The last
preceding note Of Lander, closing the correspond
ence on the part of Potter, was delivered to Chs.

Dates from Mexico to March % have been re-
ceived at New-Orleans. 1t is said that the British
Minister has proposed truce of Elk months at the
utmost during which Congress- to be elected by
the different States of the natiOn is to be held at
Jalapa, to form q new Constitution. Jalapa is to
be declared neutral ground under the protection OF
England, and English troops, if necessary. The
Clergy disapprove Of the proposition, and if it is
rejected, it is said the English Minister will imme.
diately take his passports, and proceed to Vera
Cruz, recognizing the Juarez Government.

The kte-Orieans Journal of the 18th brings US
the details of the latest news from Mexico; but
they contain nothing Of vital Importance not already
sent by the telegraph. 1t is certain that the Mira
mon Government did not order the expulsion of
the Americans from the City of Mexico, as had
been announced by previous dispatches. false re-
port had reached the city that Vera Cruz had fallen
and that all the American vessels in the harbor had
been sunk; whereupon the Ministry exulted, and
congratulated Lady Miramon, preparing to erect
triumphal arches. The truth suddenly stopped
their demonstrations. IL is said that this cheat was
pat upon them through the agency of the famous
Carysjal, WIN forced the Geographic operator to
send the untrue Dispatch under threat of death.
TIE French and the English authorities were trying
to bring about an armistce between the bellige-
rants, hoping to effect reconciliation.

ADJOURNMENT AT ALBANY.

The Legislature-let US be reverently thankful for
all mercies--has adjourned at last This is the oil
of consolation which sOftens all earthly Affections
they come to an end And we do not believe it
possible that another body 30 reckless not merely Of
right but of decency-not merely corrupt but shame
less-will be assembled ID our halls Of legislation
within the next ten years.
Let us at the outset, give the departed credit for
their little all of good. The act modifying and al.
most abolishiDg Capital Punishment is humanely
conceived and we think wisely framed. We be-
lieve it viii prove benefcent in its operation and
commend itsef to very general approval. The act
giving to Married Women rights Of property hith-
erto denied them is broad in its scope and udicOus
in its details. 1t is the best " Woman's r ghts
measure yet passed by any legislature, and-sfter
experience shall have pointed out the defects
wherein knavery viii find facilities for ffaud-will
save thousands from undeserved want and wretch
edness. And we are inclined to think the InsOlvent
Act also good thing in the main, though we can
not quite approve its retroactive efficacy. The
change made in our insOlvent law We understand to
be this Whereas hitherto bankrupt has been re-
qqired TO obtain the assent Of twO-thirds Of his
creditors be may hereafter be discharged without
leave or license on the surrender of all his prop
e1ty for the equal benefit OF his creditors The old
rule worked badly in two ways; first, in depriving
Of all chance Of release those bankrupts who had
nothing left; secondly, in tempting bankrupts to
insert bogus creditors who would readily I" sign
"Of" and thus rob their creditors of good share
of the pittaDce rightfully coming 10 them. We be-
lieye the new act will prove decided improve
ment on the old.
So much for the little all of good achieved by
this Legislature: Now let US look at tie long roll
Of its evil.
We have hardly patience to speak of its abortive
action with regard to the Railroads.&c. failure to
do anything toward efecting a reduction of the
heavy burdens under which our taxpayers grOan
or TO secure any approach 10 equaltya uniformity
in the Railroad charges on Way and Through
Freight To all intelligent men it is plan that
paid BY persons interested in the Cen
trail into the fingers or pockets Of Honorable Legsa-
tors or those Of their influential frendshas been the
of this failure. Nay more We feel
very sure that if Senator'S Lad been chosen annually
as Members Of Assembly are this failure would never
have occurred. We speak plainly, for We feel
deeply. The State has been sold out bya portion
OF its chosen legislators and they have cutched the
gold. Our State income from Canals, including
Tolls on Freight distracted from those Canals by
hSDroads, will this year be One Million less than

An amendment to the Deficiency bI was
adopted in tie House Of Representatives yesterday,
making an appropriation of 5000 for delegate
to the international Statistical Congress ir Lotdon
10 July next. This is simply provision of S4,5OO
and his expenses to some gentleman dasirOus of
pleasant Summer trip TO England. 1t would be
quite as reasonable to give similar sum to gen.
ensn of horticultural tastes to visit France at the
Horticultural Congress TO be held there THE season.
If the Government is to send representative to
Statistical Convention. why not send one also to
the next Peace Convention, or the next Worlds
Anti Slavery Convention, where the subjects to be
considered are quite important as that OF Stats
tics With Conventions Of this sort the Govern
ment can properly have nothing to do, and the ap-
preparation is mere waste of public money.

In the House of Represer tatiVes at Washington
Yesterday in the debate on an appropriation for
TIL. Congressional GlObe. Mr.. Stevens of Penn
syyana made very sensible suggestion in relation
to The reporting Of debates. He said, and other
members agreed with him, that an end should be
put to the revision by members, Of anything they
may have said, before publication. The public
wants what they suppose they pay for:
an accurate report of the proceedings as they trans
pire, and not report of what gentlemen wish they
had said, OF would have said had they had time to
reflect upon the subject. They should reflect first,
and speak afterwards or if they have no time for
reflection, not speak at all # men talk nonsense,
let the public know IL; and the fact that it will be
known will save much valuable time and put an
end to much useless debate to which members are
now tempted, because they have the power of revi-
sion, and can suppress anything which they would
prefer should not go before the country. 1t is a
notorious fact that from The Globes reports it is
very difficult to get an accurate notion Of the char
acer of any debate, and especially Of one in which
many members participate.

Of aiding in the rebellion, and engaged in "treasona-
