81 erly inactivity" its enemies do not. Ibs
telegraph apprises us that Tie 81. Louis Rtrat'-
lican of yesterday has letter frors Las Vegas,
New-Mexico, Of the 10th ult, which reports the
seizure of Fort Marcy By a party OF Amere0s'
and Merieans, headed by Cor. Renehsr. 1t ID
added that the Santa F6 mails are to the 18th,
and that they make no mention OF any such
seizure. We do not consider this fact conclusive
against the authenticity of the report 1t IS cited
TO refute. Los Vegos IS on one Of the sources
Of tbs Pecos, some 20 to so miles E. s. 4. Of
Santa F6 from which it Is separated BY the
Rocky Mountains, and if any such treasonabls
blow were struck in its neghborhOod, especially
under the direction Of the Governor OF the Aer'
ritory, every effort would naturally be made I"
keep all knowledge of it from the seat Of gov
eminent to the latest possible moment. We knew
already that agents of the Texas Secessonist,
had been at work in Arizona-wlich is the south
western portion Of New Mexico-and had woa
over one who is called {" Gov. Owen to their
cause. And our last Memphis APPeal-a Seces-
sion oracle--in noticing this report, says:

The ferry bill introduced by Mr. Nesbitt and
indorsed by every member Of the Kings County
delegation in the Legislature-always saving the
Hon. Marquis d. Moore, who, unfortunately,
could not favor t-needs but one step further -
pass the Assembly. It provides that on all the
ferries across the East River between " alabout
Bay and Bushwiek Greek, no higher fare than
two cents shall be charged, and that the Com
panies " shall issue and sell Communication tickets
at the following rates: For males over seven
teen years of age, five dollars for SIX months;
for females, three dollars for SIX months; for
- minors under seyenteen years OF age, three
- dollars for six months; nor more than Tea
cents for any horse and cart or business wagon
Failure to comply with this law is made
misdemcanor. These rates are high enough 10
afford handsome profit TO the ferry companies
while not too onerous upon the people. The sct
simply restores rights guaranteed 10 the people OF
Wliamsburgh, in every ferry lease granted, ever
since the days of horse ferry boats. When tho
town had but 1.-THE of its present population.
the right of Communication was always acknowi-
edged, by express provision and so continued
down to the period when George Law grabbed
the ferries While Law was running them IN
opposition, nothing was too good for the dear
people; but as soon as he got the mastery he
put on the screws, and extorted double rates.
By all means let tins bill pass.
