TEE EXPRESS ON TmR TRIBUNE.
The Express has the following summing up of a
string of falsehoods which 1t has been repeating till
it has probably, BY this time, some confused notion
that some Of them may be true:

How such unslusbiDg lies should be repeated
day after day, in the face of community wherein
TnE TRIBUNE is very generally read is to us
source Of profound amazement. The deprayity OF
tie act is even less unaccountable than the reck-
lessnes of character aud credit involved in it.
Not orce, twice, nor three times only, but very
many tines, have we reiterated our concurrence in
the Governors recommendation that the Legisla-
ture should charter no Railroads in our City with
cut making the City Treasury the recipient OF the
profits fairly derivabe therefrom. We hold that
the Omnibus men, whose property and franchises
viii be practically coufscated by the substitution OF
cars for their vehicles ought to be fairly comPen-
stated by an allotment Of stock in the railroads
which supplsnt their lines, and that the residue of
the stock should be awarded to whoever will pay
most for il, the proceeds being applied by the Con-
troller to the redemption of our City Debt. Over
and again have we urged this view-if not so abu-
syely as The Express talks on the subject we trust
quite as forcibly.
The metropolitan Police bill now before the Leg
islature with any bill which has been or may be
devised which tends to disturb the political equi.
lbrum now happily established in our Police Board,
we have once and again condemned as pointedly, as
emphaticaIy, though perhaps not so vituperatiSeg,
as The Express has done. We are sure we have
said more in favor Of keeping our Police nom
partisan than any other journal.
The proposed removal of the City Hall up
"tOwn"--or rather the construction Of new City
Hall on Madison SquaIe-He denounced from the
moment it was first presented to the Legislature.
Again ard again have we returned to the subject,
entreatDg the Legislature to pass no such BILL and
giving as strong reasons therefor as we could fnd
or furnish. And now we are told that TIE TRIB-
UNE sis dumb 4" on the removal of the City Hall
sup tOwh"-and any quantity more equally false
and shameless.
This City Hall removal was introduced and urged
by Mcleod Murphy, the Democratic Senator from
the downtown district of our City, who ought to be
its most determined opponent, aud is backed, of
course, by all his Democratic colleagues from the
City. We presume it ia in like manner supported
by at least two-thrds of the City Democrats in the
Assembly. Mayor Wood and others of the Demo
cratic managers, both Tammany and Mozart, are
deep in it. We pray that it may be beaten; but if
so, it will have to be BY the Republicans from the
rural districts overriding the Democrats froui the
City on question of purely City concern. Yet
The Express would have it believed that this is
some Republican scheme to get money from our
ax-payers for Republican benefit
Such journalism is disgrace to human nature
We rejoicingly tust that not many beside the con-
ductors of The Express are capable Of perssting
