TIE One CENT FERRIA0E BuL-ARGuMENrs
THAT CUT Born WAYs.-The Union Ferry mo-
nopolists have been thrown into great state
of alarm and indignation by report that at
the secret meeting Of the Brooklyn Board Of
Aldermen, on Monday night, the sum of TWEEN
ty thousand dollars was appropriated to carry
through the One Cent Ferriage bill. The state
ment may or may not be true; but If it be SO,
we can perfectly understand the virtuous SEN
sitiveness Of the directors and their employees.
AS long as the efforts Of the Brooklyn people
were confined to petitions and remonstrances,
the monopolists did not condescend to notice,
much less to answer them. The reclamati0ns
of community composed Of three hundred
thousand persons were not Of sufficient impOr-
lance in their eyes to extract from them any
official evidence in reply. They were satisfied
to fight the battle vicariously through the
counsel for the Sinking Fund Commissioners,
and to keep shady during the legal contest
which preceded the appeal to the Legislature.
Before the Assembly committee they pursued
a similar course; but if they did not make their
voices heard, they employed silent arguments,
the force of which told in the most remarkable
manner on the majority of the committee. They
are now naturally alarmed lest their oppo-
nents should have learned lesson from their
proceedings, and adpted a similar mode of
persuasion. There would be nothing astonishing
in the fact if they had, seeing that there is but
one influence that can now make itself felt at
Albany. We do not believe, however, that it
is contemplated on the part of the Brooklyn
delegation to employ money in any but le
climate way for the furtherance of a measure
which is based on considerations of justice and
public policy If money has been voted, it
has been voted for the betrayal of the expenses
attending the prosecution of the case before
the Court of Appeals, and of the counsel and
witnesses who appeared before the Assembly
committee. The cutlery raised by the monopo-
lists at the bare report of such an appropria-
ton shows that, impenetrable as they are
to public censure, they are thin skinned
enough when there is any chance of their own
weapons being turned against them.

dent, not having solitary fact to 30 upon; but
he does prove that both great pant are SO
utterly demoralized that it will not do
to leave the printing of Congress in the
hands of either one or the other. If any
thing, Mr.. Haskin's new friends are the wo, Sc
of the two, the black republicans being lttk'
more hungry than the democrats.
For all these reasons the Haskin investiga-
ton will damage both parties, but it will work
great public good, by fastening the time when
the printing for the government shall be done
by an executive bureau, with its officers held
strictly accountable for every dollar discussed.
Mr.. Rives should be relieved at once from his
Improbable job of printing the debates, which
should be reported in daily paper attached
to the bureau. Under such an order of things
the work would be done decently and at half
the price paid at present, the country editors
would be obliged to earn an honest living, Mr..
Rives would no longer be obliged to sacrifice
himself for the public good, and the Washing

hangers on to the government, and sycophan.
tic toadies to the powers of the day, might pos.
sibly become newspapers in the real sense of
the term. Now they are not within a thousand
miles Of it, nor ever have they been. The
Washington paper is disgrace to the
country and q reproach to the civil
lization and progress Of the age 1t
lends itself to the plumber of the people
whom it should defend; it is a gazette of cor
ruption and bribery, and all sorts of rascality.
1t has not one bold, manly, independent
thought, action or principle. 1t apologies for
mendacity, and finds ready excuses for pecula-
ton. 1t is no more to be compared to real
live journal than puddle to the noble Hudson.
Sweep away, then, the printing job, and we
shall have new era in the development of
the art preservative of all arts, so far as the
federal capital is concerned. Let Congress act
at once.

COUNTERFEIT CENrs.-It would be desirable
if some means could be found Of doing away
with the copper cents which are still in circu-
lation. They defeat the object of the new cur
rency, and are source of great trouble and
inconvenience to individuals. Besides this,
they afford to counterfeiters the means of car
rying on their frauds without risk Of detection.
At the present moment the city is flooded with
these counterfeit cents, which are principally
coined in Canada, and produce to the operators
handsome returns. Intrinsically the copper
cent is not worth more than sixty per cent
the price Of old copper. Accepted, however,
at the full value, a. 1t unfortunately still Is 1t
gives to the counterfeiter profit Of from twen-
ty-four to thirty per cent, exclusive of the ex-
penses Of mining, convey ance, &c. Asst would
be impossible for the government to withdraw
the old coinage from circulation without heavy
loss, the remedy must be sought elsewhere. If
the public will only combine to refuse receiv-
ing copper cents when rendered in payment,
they will be driven as rapidly from circulation
as were the old Mexican shilIings
