SMALL REruRNs.-The Excise Commission
has been now some three years in operation,
and in that time has granted about thousand
licenses. There are between ten and twelve
thousand liquor dealers in the city, and the
prosecutions instituted by the Board during the
three years have been from three to five thou
sand. As the net result Of its labors, we find
that out of this aggregate only one conviction
has been obtained, and this in case in which
no liquor was found on the premises Of the ia
eliminated party Considering that two ous of
the three Commissioners are lawyers, and that
they each cost the county from four to FIVE
dollars day, we must say that they exhibit
uncommonly slim fruits from this large area Of
eXcrtiOn.

SCATTER SOVEREIGNTY AND THE VETO OF THE
GOVERNOR OF NEBRAsKA.--In another page we
publish a Message Of the Governor Of Ne
braska, vetoiDg an act "to prohibit slavery"
parsed by the Lcgis laturc of that Territory.
We're 1t not for the slavery question, squatter
sovereignty would be an abstraction about
which nobody would care. Slavery and aboli-
ticnism give 1t a practical bearing. and make it
a living issue. If the Territorial Legislature Of
Nebraska should pass the bill over the Gov
crnol 3 veto, then il will be necessary to refer
the question to the decision of the Supreme
Court. and there can be little doubt that such
decision will De similar to that of the case of
bred Scott, which is irreconcilable with the act
now vetoed by Governor Black. But the de-
cision viii furnish another grievance Tor the
antlslayery agitation another reason for the
overthrow Of the constitution. As for popular
sovereignty in a Territory. its advocates know
very well there is no such thing Congress
cannot be sovereign and the Legislature Of q.
Territory sovereign as regards the same jaris
diction. But that Congress Is sovereign as re-
CARDS the Territories, is cleax from the eonst.

The JAPANESE EMBASSY TO WASHINGTON
publish in another column some very interest
ing intelligence from Japan relative to the ex-
pected embassy to this countryside drst diplo-
matte body that was ever accredited by that
exclusive government to any foreign nation.
It appears that the embassy consists of no less
than seventy individuals, Of whom two are
Cenaors, whose duty it will be to watch the
other sixty-eight, and see that they behave
themselves They wiIlleave Jeddo on the 22d
Of February Washington's birthday for
Washington via Panama Our Consul Nj.
Harris, IL seems, was most anxious that they
should start at an earlier date, in ordcr to
arrive here while Congress was in session,
thinking, NO doubt, that the most extraordinary
and interesting sight these distinguished strang-
ers could behold would be one Of those de-
lectable scenes so common in Congress Mr.
Harris has been obliged to obtain repeal of
the law prohibiting Japanese subjects from
leaving the kingdom, in order to effect this dipo-
matte mission, the accomplishment of which
is quite an important event. We have no law
in this country preventing our citizens from
going abroad If they choose to do so; but If we
had law just row to compel some of them to
abandon the land Of their forefathers occa-
sionally, we might see an Organization Of Con-
gress at an early day.

TROUBLE AMONG THE CANADIAN NEGROES
We give in another column few addi
tional particulars Of the recent disturb
ances which have taken place in the
towns of Chatham and Windsor, Canada
West. As our readers have already learned
through our special reports upon the condition
of the fugitive slaves in Canada, the towns
above mentioned are inhabited chiefly by ne
groes. According to municipal regulation,
separate schools are provided for the colored
children. The negroes now demand that this
regulation shall be rescinded, and that they
shall have equal control over the school with
the whites, and that all the children, without
distinction of color, shall attend the same
schools. In order to enforce their demands,
the negroes of Chatham seized upon the school
property, and the authorities were obliged to
coax them into relinquishing possession of it.
The extracts we print give vivid picture Of
the overbearing insolencc of the negroes, and
fully confirm all the statements Of our Special
Reporters apropos to the same subject The
Canadians will find, before many years, that
the safety of their governmental and social
institutions viii depend upon the exclusion
of fugitive slaves from their territory. The
sooner they do this, the better 1t will be for
all parties, white and black, bond and free.

THE BIBLE IN THE PUBLIC ScHoors-It viii
have been seen by the report of the proceed.
iDgs of the Board OF Education on Wednesday
last, that the Bible question, which has caused
SO much irritation and heartburDing in the
public schools, is about being brought to .
legal test. The Board has directed warrants
to be signed for the payment of oil the unpaiA
teachers, except one, whose case is to be car
ried before the Supreme Court for decisios,
thus sparing the Commissioners the Ill feeling
and odium which must attend any settlement
they might arrive at As the question Is one On
tirely of constitutional Interpretation the Board
have exercised q wise discretion in not attempt
ng to deal with It Where there are such h.
reconcilable differences on points of public
policy and law, 1t is obviously the wisest course
to refer them to the Supreme Court.

The CouNcINEN UpoN UNSAFE BUIDISGs.-
We notice that the Board of Councilmen
adopted on Monday resolution asking from
the Corporation Counsel o statement Of the
laws relating to unsafe buildings and deHni-
ton of the powers Of the Common Council in
regard to the matter. The Introduction of this
resolution is no doubt part OF the very well
settled plan adopted by some members Of the
Common Council to get credit for little cheap
philanthropy. In the matter Of the steam
boilers q similar course was pursued, but it has
not yet resulted in any practical effort to abate
the nuisance complained Of We have but
little faith in any definite action of the Common
Council upon any matter, unless there Is cat
in the meal tub.

Tux CoNNECnCUT MASuRAcruKEIis POE TaE
UMoS.-We printed yesterday full report
Of the Union meeting held at Meriden, Con-
necticut, ON Tuesday. This meeting, it APP
pears, was attended by the leading manufac-
tnrers Of Connecticut they are all deeply'in-
teresied in the Southern trade, aud have d.
rect money interest in the settlement OF the
vexed questions which agitate the country.
Although there was some difference of opinion
have been expected, an attempt on the part OF
the republicans to break up the meeting,
the controlling sentiment seemed TO be
prsiseworthy and patriotic 0ne II Is quite
evident, from the letters Of our special
correspondents, and the tone of the masses
who attend the Union meetings, that there
is healthy conservative sentiment exist
ing in the North, which will increase
rather than diminish, when the business season
fairly commences. Whatever the abolition
presses may say to the contrary, 1t Is fact
familiar to all business men that there is de-
termination in the South to withdraw trade as
far a. possible from the North, provided the
present condition Of things Is not ameliorated.
At Richmond, on the 2sth Of February, there is
to be convention of Southern railway compa-
MES to make arrangements for direct steam
communication with Europe; and although
trade cannot be easily diverted from its natu-
raj channels, and therefore the heaviest i'm
porting business must be done with the me-
tropolis, still the Southern merchant can pro-
cure from Europe many little knick-knackS and
notions which have before been supplied by
New England, but which can be obtained quite
as cheaply in Germany, France and Switzer-
land. 1t is absolutely requisite for the safety
of trade in all eections of the country, that the
House should be speedily organized by the
choice Of Speaker who did not endorse
Helpers infamous book. The election of Sher-
man, however, would make matters worse; and
we sincerely trust that the conservative IN 4.
jority will not allow the odious candidate of a
factious and reasonable minority to be forced
upon the country.

ABUSE OF THE PARpoNiyo PowER.--in an

granted by Governor Morgan in the year 1853:
and though they are fewer in number than the
pardons granted by mcet Of his predecessors,
they are by far too numerous, and evidence an
abuse Of tho pardoning power which calls for

THE AIMsHOUsE GOVERNORS AND Gun CRY
PRIsoNs.-Our readers will remember o shock
ing occurrence which took place at the Jefer-
son market prison on the 9Th inst, namely, the
death and muulation by rats of German
named Stubenbord, who was picked up in the
street, PROSTATE, and suffering from illness, and
left in cell, without medical mid, all night, in
consequence of which inhuman treatment he
died. ana ws- found in the morning 80 horribly
disfgured by rats as to render Identification
extremely difficult We recur to this revolving
and disgraceful circumstance now to remark
that q petition was presented to the Governors
of the Almshouse at their meeting ON Wednes-
day, by the SON of the unfortunate deceased,
praying that some inquiry might be made into
the causes Of his fathers death, and into the
condition of jefferson market and other city
prisons. The petition was q perfectly legid-
mate and natural one, and, We would suppose,
should have received some attention at the
hands of the Board; but we understand that
no public notice whatever was taken Of it at
Wednesday s meeting; at all events, 1t made no
part Of the proceedings Of the Board on that
occasion. That such treatment as this poor
man received should have to be recorded is
disgraceful to the police authorities andto that
Board which has the supervision of our prisons;
but it might at least be expected that the mat
ter would obtain some investigation from the
Almshouse Governors on the application Of a
relative of the deceased. 1t is due to the
whole public, to decency and humanity, that
no such shocking occurrence should again take
place in any prison or station house in the
city.

The RELIGIOUS REVOLUTION IN THE METHoPO-
LIs-One of the most curious changes that has
been worked by the HERALD in New York jour
nalism is to be found in the extensive use which
is made by religious societies and churches of
the secular press. Twenty years ago, when
we commenced the publication Of reports Of
the anniversary meetings. it was considered
sacrilegious act, and the pious press, Us well as
the parsons, denounced us without stint Be.
fore our day nothing more than programme
of the doings Of the societies had been permit
ted to appear in any secular press, and this
only under the supervision Of Aminidab Sleek,
in the Journal Of Commerce. Now, all important
religious meetings and sermons upon spe.
cial topics of the day are reported at length In
the leading secular papers, which are recog-
nized by the clergy as important aids In the
propagation Of the Gospel. Tho advertising
columns of the HERALD are employed 10 an
nounce the topics upon which the most noted
preachers VIII address their focks, and we
printed last Saturday nearly a column of re-
lgious notices Of the description alluded to-
This makes the press powerful aid to the pull
pit, and speaks well for the good sense Of a
large number of the metropolitan clergy.

RAILROAD SIAUoHTERs- CULPABMTY OF THE
accidents on the Hudson
River and New Haven and Harlem railroads,
in orr columns yesterday, afford ad-
ditioDal startling illustrations of the indiffer-
epce which prevails amongst commercial cor
pcrations to the public safety. No sooner has
the shock produced by the Pemberton oatas-
trophe subsided little, than we have our SEN
sibilities again wounded by the account of two
disasters, which are to be traced to equally
shameful carelessness. One Of these has made
the more impression, fromthe fact that young
bride, who.was married the very same morning,
and who was proceeding with her husband to
her new home, was suddenly hurried into eter-
nifty, whilst an ecclesiastic of high rank nearly
shared the same fate. The accidents on both
roads were due to similar causes, and they might
have been prevented by ordinary forethought
on the part Of the management. With trains
running on the same tracks, collisions will al
ways beinevitable, unless measures are adopted
to insure sufficient distance between them on
tho time tables, and to protect them againstmis-
takes on the part of the engine drivers by pro-
per signals. In both cases there seems to have
been an entire disregard of these precautions.
With differences in time of only two and five
minutes in the morning trains on the Harlem
and New Haven railroads. we cannot see how
any other result was TO be looked for than that
which has happened. To expect otherwise Is
relying too much on the eyes and on the self
possession Of the engine drivers. who cannot
always prove equal to the sudden embarrass-
ments that may arise from the absence Of pro-
per system. On the Hudson River line the ir-
regularities of the trains have latterly become
subject Of daily complaint; and some other
fearful accident from this cause will surely oc-
cur unless it is attended to. With regard to
the catastrophe Of Wednesday on this road, it
was occasioned by carelessness so culpable
that it ought to be visited by the severest GEN.
sure by coroner's jury. The fact Of such fire.
quent stoppages of the engines for repairs, as
was the case in this instance, is, in ITSELF fact
not at all creditable to the management of the
road. That, and the other circumstances con-
nected with the accident, prove the necessity Of
the most stringent measures being adopted to
compel on the part of railroad companies, such
watchful supervision over their lines as will
prevent at least the casualties that are caused
by the absence of ordinary precautions.
