CITY NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The Common Council, we are tolt, is about to
inaugurate legal contest in behalf of the City's
franchises with the grantees of the embryo City
Railroads. If we only had municipality that
could not be bought and sold like mackerel, those
Railroads might all be constructed by the Legisla-
tive grantees without detriment TO the City, or ex-
orbitant profit to ibe corporato's. A thoroughly
faithful, upright Common Council could, BY proper
ordinances rgidly enforced so regulate the running
Of cars by day and night, the number of passengers
that might at any time be taken, the rate of annual
taxation on each car run, &C., &C.. as TO dissipate
all fond dreams of exorbitant dividends and render
each of the proposed roads public blessing. Bat
nothing Ike this will be done, simply because it
would not put money into the pockets of the CITY
Fathers. The indignant dodge promises much
b,tter, and will be affected until the Aldermen
and Councilmen get on the inside track, when the
legal contest will somehow exbale, and the public
be nowise benefited by it. The Railroad grants
we're undoubtedly bought through the Legislature,
just as they would, under other auspices, have to
be bought through the Common Council; but stop
ping their construction now would benefit none but
the lucky owners Of the city railroads already In
operation Il strikes us that their chance is good
enough without this.

Great bodies move slowly, and the Democratic
National Convention at Charleston made little head
way yesterday. The net product of the day was
tie appointment of permanent officers and the adop-
ton Of rules. The Committee on Credentials did
not even report, SO that we do not positively know
vet of what materials the Convention viii ultimately
be composed; but it is understood that the Soft
Delegation from this State and the Douglas Dele
pation from Illinois will be declared entitled to the
seats already assigned them, TO the exclusion of
their Hard competitors. The Committees report
on their case will be made this morniog.
In the little that was done yesterday, we think
the Douglas men had clearly the advantage. The
rule whereby the Delegates from each District are
entitled to cast the vote OF that District unless the
Delegation was chosen by State Convention and
instructed thereby to vote as unit seems fair and
il was sustained by every Douglas man and resisted
BY mot of the Chiyary, who only rallied 1Ol votes
against it to 1913 for it, Then the resolve to have
tie Platform reported and adopted before ballot
for President is taken, though it passed with little
opposition, is point gained for Douglas The ad-
yocates of q Slave Code for the Territories must
now produce their nOstrum, which is sure to be re-
iected; ard then they are bound to bols-which
will rid the Convention of thirty or forty of the
| most violent opponents of Douglss-or they must
stay in very unstArOhed and dropping condition.
If they stand the rejection of their cornerstone
pet threaten to bolt if Douglas should be nominated
they will irrtate some and fnghten none
We are convinced that the Douglas men have
tie numbers to carry their point if they do not lack
the pluck. They may be defeated either by treAch-
cry or by cowardice; we think not otherwise. 1t
is not now likely that ballot for President can be
had to day. Indeed, the day may be absorbed in
settling the contested seats, leaving the Platform to
be digested tomorrow.

NAPOLEON THE LusEaAroR.

The position which the Emperor Louis Napoleon
ow occupies with relation to Southern Italy, is
traDge to sny-very much the same as the one the
ccupstion of which by Austria, in relation to
Northern Itely, was made the occasion OF the
late Italian war.
Ore Of the chief complaints Of Sardinia against
Austria was that, not content with her own Italian
provinces she inttrfered with the States to the
South of her, and even went 30 far as to maintain
troops in them for the purpose of upholdiog their
rulers in refusing much-needed reforms in the ad-
mini,tration urgently demanded BY the inhabitants.

VIRGINIA holds her Republican Convention at
Wheeling on the ID Of May, and we again urge tho
Anti Slavery men of that State to attend SO far as
possible Intimidation and tho fear Of being stigma
tied as sympathizipg with old John Brown, will
keep many away who would otherwise be present;
the greater therefore is the urgency of the call on
tbose who lear nothing but wrong to show their
faith and courage on this occasion. We hope to
bear that Republicans are present from ten to if
teen counties, and that some half dozen have cho-
cen regular delegations. THIS may seem little; but
it ia the beginning of great movement, which
must ultimately triumph.

TIE Commissioners of Public Charities and Cor
rection began the work Of reform in their depart
ment with a vigorous hand. The salaries of the
WaIdens, which had been recently raised to 81 $780,
were reduced TO $1,5O0; and Messrs. Keen, Fitch
and Anderson, who had been deposed by the old
Board, to make room for more pliable men, were
restored as Wardens of the PententAry, Work
House, and Aims. House.. The places of Store
Keeper on Randall's and Black wells Islands, were
abolished, as were also the Cerkships Of Bellevue
Hospital and the Lunatic Asylum. We trust the
new Commission will speedily overhaul all the in-
situations under their control. We have heretofore
animadverted upon the shameful manner in which
sick persons are thrust into prison. and left to die
of disease, or be devoured BY rats. A most shock
ing case occurred on SUM lay night at Bellevue
Hospital. In the "waitiDg. six or eight
sick women were left all night wholly unattended
by ply scisn or nurse. During the night one of the
women gave birth to q living child, which the
rayenOus rats fell upon and partially devOured,
while The suffering mother, conscious that the horrid
yermin were all over her bed inside aad out, va,
yet too feeble to drive them away, or call for assist
snce. The wonder is, that the woman herself was
spared By these animals. Let US hope that under
the rule Of the reformed commission such dreadful
occurrences viii never shock the public mind in
future.

windows of chu,cb upon the bowed heads Of g
worsbipiDg congregation, seems TO us carrying the
thirg rather far; aud We DO not see that ii would
be less wrong t. disturb them by drunken yens snd
suatchts of obscene or rbald songs. II seems to
us that even g'ntemaoy iu6dels should say.
"Sncs the Christian majority wish to be undls-
"turbed in their devotons on Sunday, we will so
" order cur pursu rs as to give them no needless
annoy aDce " SO much the lay of our State re-
quires of her citizens: we csnuot think il too much.
-Bua says an Director, "You quietly assume that
g the Surday.uphclderi are majority Yes, we
DO. The fact that our laws have uniformly as
sumea it. yet have stood substantially unchanged 10
thin respect is to cur mind conducive. But we
freely ehetifuy conceds the right Of the opponents
Of the civil Sabbath 10 make up an issue on the sub
Jet and Try conclusions before the grand inquest Of
the People. If the snti-Sabbstanans choose TO
make such an issue, though we muss 60 against
item, we shall respect their frankaess and erdeayor
0 give them faiTpAy.
But the courte the; see ct usually to follow does
rot command our respect. They are perpetaauy
barking at the reels of the Sabbath, not locking 1t
iquare in the fsce. They talk Of " Ami1aiao
Sleek, 80 the Saints" "pious Pisbury," &c,
&c. all OF which sounds 20 Us like very cowardly
apo rather dirty slang. So do their outcres against
each attempt to enforce some toera0le respect for
the Sabbath az f it were al entirely new device,
when, in fact it is but requiring obedience To laws
which have existed 10 substance for generations.
Il surely cannot be necessary TO state that Keeping
thea,ers, tippling houses &c, 10 full blast on Sda'
day, is not legal 10 this State and has not been at
any time during the thirty years we have lived 10
it-how much longer, we will not now say. AL
recept legislation on the subject has consisted sim
ply of attempts to stop eyaslons or open violations
ofoIigiDa provisors Of the Revised Statutes. The
act recently passed is noting more.
We say, then, to the anti Sabpatariaus, Ii you
deem yourselves men, be mauly Make sqaare
issue, if you W u, on the abolition Of all state laws
which distinguish Sunday from other days, and "
the people are with you, their votes viii show IL.
Iyou do not choose to abolish all civil recognition
of tie Sabbath, agree among yourselves as to what
portions of those laws you will have repealed, make
a distinct square Issue thereon, and, it your re-
quirement is reasonable, you need not fear an ad-
ytrze decision. But this growing and sDarlDg,
and calling names, is sorry business; aud, If you
have nothing better to say it were wiser and better
to keep silence.

generally throughout the city, knew all about this
affair long before it took place. and might have pre-
vented it if they had chosen TO do 3d. That they

But their coUplacence or confidence has been
roughly jostled by ex.Gov. Wise, who is reliably
reported as having said to-day that whoever should

upon the common belief among most prominent
