A great majority, probably of the citizens of
each Of our States have taken solemn oath to

United States-to what have they bound them.

took that oath twenty, thirty, forty years ago,

LONG LOCKS.

A rather singular bill, relating to the Erie,
Oswego, Cayuga, and Seneca Canals, is before
the Assembly of this State, having already passed
Prosser of Buffalo. BY the first section, all the
money that remains unexpended of the appropri-
alton of last year for the completion of the above
named canals is appropriated specifically $50
I" far to complete the said canals respectively"
as will give seven feet Of water on the opening
of navigation this Spring; the " residue of said
appropriation to be applied 70 lengthening
locks so as to admit boats of one hundred and
forty feet. The objects specified are, no doubt,
highly meritoriOus, but We protest that they
should be postponed until all claims, especially
those for land damages, which have accrued I'M
der the appropriation referred to. and which are
recognized charges against the fund which this
bill diverts, are fully satisfied. The Commission.
ers of the Canal fund, in their recent report,
state distinctly that it was expected that the
appropriation of last year would pay on oil
"the claims against the State on account OF the
enlargement and completion OF the public
"works, including land damages. In this ex'
"pectation, We shall probably be disappointed
The object of this bill, therefore. is to postpone
the payment of land damages, and probably other
charges, for the sake of long locks, in which 1t
is understood certain gentlemen have peculiar
interest.
This bill also provides that in case the money
thus diverted from the creditors of the State
" shall prove insufficient to accomplish the OBJ
Elects contemplated which it is well known
will be tho case--then the work OF lenethenlng
the locks" shall be done in the manner pro-
yided in the remaining sections. by these pro-
visions Mcssrs. Gibson T. Williams, Henry w.
Sage, John w. Thompson, Delos Do Wolf, Ell

IRVING PLACE HALL.
MIR. WOLLENHAUPT.

The new Concert Hall Of Irving Place is becoming
fayorite room for the concerts Of artists. II is not
too large and is well adapted for sound On Saturday
a concert was given there by Mr.. Bruno Wollenhaupt
brother Of the pianist. 1t was bis first public essay in
this country. SO much fine violin playing has been
heard that no inferoty is admissible The artist
who cannot master of Vieuxtemps' Corcertos must
take an inferior rank. Accordingly Mr.. Bruno VOL
lenhsup had TO 70 through the ordeal and most noby
did he succeed He has fine, broad tone, revealing
the full powers Of the instrument especially on the
fourth srng. In this concerto every conceivable rea-
zion Of the bow to the violin is displayed andit literal
Iy exbaus,s the possibilities Of the instrument. Violin
writing and violin playing have now reached their
highest point, they may recedethey cannot advance
more. The only drawback to the performance was its
extreme length. As there is but musical color in
violin SOLO and is possible 10 compress the resources
OF the instrument into less time for exhibition than
some thirty minutes dead stretch it would be we'll
60 abbrevate the concertos somewhat. Mr.. Bruno VOL

and pay for the same. ii they shah
think it for the interest of the State TO do so
" and il there shall be funds on hand applicable
"and sufficient for that purpose which would
be an unheard of state of things, then the Board
shall audit the expenditures of the aforesaid
gentlemen, 90 together with interest at the rate Of

gentlemen may do all they can afford TO for tbs
sum of 100000 at their own ratea,
In case the Canal Board hays
not the money, or for any reason
are not disposed to pay and take the work Oh
the hands of Messrs Williams & Co.. then the
firm g shall have the right to make such charge
"as they may deem proper, for the use of said
"lengthened locks, to all boats over one humid
red feet in length, for the term OF twenty
years." unless the State pays up at an earlier
day. In leyying the charge, no discrimination
shall be made for or against steamboats,, OF
which kind of property Messrs. Williams & Go.
are owners. If at any time between the months
of January and April, 1871, the State does MOI
terminate this arrangement by paying up, then
Williams & Co. are continued as the practical
lessees of the Canals for the further terms OF
ten years. %
1t seems to have been forgotten in deyisins
this project that the Constitution of the Stata
expressly provides that "the Legislature shah
"not sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of, any OF
" the canals of the States but they shall remain
the property of the State and under its manage
"ment forever" If the provisions Of this bill do
not amount at least TO an evasion Of the spirit OF
the Constitution, they at any rate come very
near it. For this reason, as well as for the ex.
traordinary privileges and powers conferred on
the few gentlemen named, who doubtless expect.
in case the bill passes, to virtually own tho
Canals for the next twenty years, without run
ming the ordinary risks of Ownership, the bill
should be closely scrutnized, and for that pur-
pose postponed. Perhaps year would not be too
long time for public reflection on the subject

Gov Morgan, we understand, is carefully con-
sdering the bill which has passed the Legislature
extending aid to the construction Of the Albany
and Susquehanna Railroad with an earnest desire
to be able to reconcile an approval Of its pro-
visions with fidelity to the interests and wishes
Of our overburdened taxpayers. If such recon
citation be possible, We hope he will sign tho
bill. The friends of this Road have hitherto
eynced too much readiness to vote for questions
Bile and even prodigal appropriations in order
thus to gain votes for their own measure, when
they ought to have pursued an exactly opposite
course There was never time when we would
not have gladly urged the passage of this meas
ure if We could have seen how the requsitol
money was to be saved BY retrenchments in other
quarters. This improvement stands BY itself, and
presents claims on the liberalty Of the State that
have no parallel. The rich valleys Of the Seho-
harie and upper Susquehanna are now secluded
and inaccessible as is no other habitable portion
of our State; Railroad trayersing them 10
urgently needed TO place their citizens on en-
equal footing with those of other and hitherto
more favored sections If the success of the Albany
and Susquehanna is to open half dozen other
auger-holes through the bottom of the State
Treasury, then we say Veto. bat il this stands
and can stand alone, We hope it may be ap.

MILITARY MOVEMENTS.

The greatest activity has for the past two days
and nights prevailed in our Navy Yard, and
about our docks. A Bteam-frigate aud steam
transport, both heavily laden with men, horses
arms, ammunition, and supplies, have sailed;
two other steamers have probably before this
departed, and still others are hastening their
preparations to follow. fleet Of fourteen vessels.
ofwar, carrying in the aggregate more than two
hundredguns has been ordered the Gulfof Mexico.
The rapidly with which the operations Of
loading and making ready for sea have been
pressed forward and the silent precision of the
work give encouraging evidence Of the efficiency
of our naval and military service, and impress
all with confidence in those who have the direc-
ton of affairs. Men who have lately been
inclined to murmur at the delay which the dis
organizing policy of Buchanans Administration
had made necessary, now look each other more
cheerfully in the face, and take heart from the
signs of energy and decision about them.
The prudent reticence of the Government and
its officers leaves the destination OF the forces just
embarked in uncertainty. There are several rea-
sons which make it appear probable that they
are InteUOtu IOF ItAds, tncio w uCichu thc
frontier and sustain Gov. Houston. In the first
place, according to the daily dispatches from
Washington, dispatches hitherto uncOntradicted,
the number of troops requisite to successful
attempt TO reinforce Fort Sumter is 10, 600, much
larger force than has now been gathered. Again,
ell the officers who have given any hint concerning
the matter, speak Of ten days as the probable
time which will elapse before any definite news
comes from the squadron. Beside this, the pres
ence Of cavalry on board one Of the steam trans
ports, points to land operations, and can have no
meaning with reference to forts. Our Washing.
ton correspondent, however, speaks quite con-
fdently when he says that Major Anderson ia to
be reinforced. The purpose of the movements
chronicled at length this morning must, there
fore. still remain matter of conjecture.
This. however, is certain: the Government is
on the eve Of taking active and energetic meas
ure. in some direction, and after the dishearten-
ing weakness which disgraced the last Admins

must be refreshing to al true men, however much
they may regret the circumstances which have
rendered warlike preparations necessary. IL 49,

trampled on by traitors, should be indicated.
The effect of these movements on the south,
according to the reports received up to Sunday
morning, was various, calling forth loud express
sions of brayado in some cases, and producing
Gloom in others, but promoting great activity
wherever 10 the rebellious States military opera
tons are on foot. A dispatch received last even
ing states that the telegraph wires are down be-
low Petersburg, Virginia and that consequently,
no intelligence could be forwarded. This gives
rise TO the natural conjecture that offensive at.
tacks may have been made on Sumter or Pickens,
or both, and that the wires were purPosely de-

QUARANTINE ON STATEN ISLAND

If there is anything which ought by this time
70 be- considered settled in regard TO the sanitary
police Of this city, it is that its Quarantine,
created as a safeguard against the introduction
of pestilence from abroad, should be so distant
from any populated neighborhood that no danger
may be apprehended either from accident or heed
lessness, and so isolated that communication with
il shall be limited by absolute necessity. An es-
tablishment however well appointed, however ad-
mirable in its hospital arrangements, and how
ever faithfully conducted by men of science and
skill, fails in the special object Of protecting the
public health by Quarantine regulations, the mo-
ment il fails in isolation Without that essential
element it had better be abolished at once, as
an expensive, useless, and treacherous humbug.
A Quarantine any where on the shores of
Staten Island covered by dense village popu-
lation, much of which is ignorant of the laws of
disease and careless of its propagation; where
hourly and halfhourly communication with this
city Is maintained, and where, on Sundays for
much of the year, peasure-seekers from town re-
SORT sometimes to the number Of 5000 a day
a Quarantine in such place is q deluson and
ever, and trust to the good-sense and humanity
of the patients themselves and Of masters Of YES
sells who have them on board, rather than gather
these scattered seeds Of pestilence from oil these
vessels and concentrate their virus in single
spot, thence to be inevitably distributed, il has
been again and again, by some Of the thousands
of persons who every hour of the day are brought
into proximity and contact with so fruitful
fountain Of disease and death.
A bill is now before the Legislature OF Albany
which virtually proposes to do this very thing.
1t is not worth while to turn TO the Statutes Of
the State to see how many laws we have passed
within the last ten years for the removal of the
Quarantine Hospitals from Staten Island, to learn
how many Boards Of Commissioners have been
appointed, at no matter what expense to
carry out those laws; it is enough to know that
the thing has been ordered to be done over and
over again, and always in obedience to the
wishes Of the people OF this city and of Rich.
mond County, who are most concerned in it,
and in accordance with the dictates Of common
sense everywhere, and therefore We protest in
the name of our burdened loDg-sufering, ard
patient fellow citizens, that they shall at least be
saved from the probable necessity Of giving en-
tertainment 10 yellow fever In the Summer

citizens aud all the strangers who ever do or may

other American city that we ever visited, San
Francisco only excepted. Even Washington, tho
metropolis of extortion, gives you csrriage-ride
at a fair charge; New-York alone skins you
every time you get into hack. In oehsh on
everybody but the skinners-nay, IN behalf OF
even their real permanent interests, not as AKA
ners but az hack -owners-we implore the Legis-
lature TO do the Hanson thing by our c'tizens
and the strangers that are or may be within our
gates. Remember that the Old Book enjoins that
these be not ve1sd nor oppressed, and give %
the cheap Cabs.

STATE APpORTIONrIENT.

We erred in our last in taking no account Of
the fraction of population over the number which
entities New-York to 80 members in the next
Federal House-that fraction (e2, 222) being 80
large as to entitle her to another member.
making 81 in all. We also left out the County
of Madison from our tables, which will form
nearly half q District, SO that one error nearly
balances the other. But, as it was not our
business to apportion our State, but simply to
show approximately how it may be apportoncd
without dividing any but the two most populous
Counties, these errors are Of little moment. We
presume such apportOnment will be made and
trust it will be without schemipg for political
effect.
If we had put Schenectady with Saratoga. in
stead of with Albany, our table would have been

The mean treachery which was shown by
Floyd, Cobb, and Thompson in the Cabinet,
Toombs in the Senate, Twiggs in the Army, and
various scoundrels Of lower degree in the South
ern waters, has just now broken out at our own
doors. Two Lieuteuants, ordered to the Pow
hatan, resigned at the last moment, doing their
feeble all to embarrass the Government, which,
however, refuses to be embarrassed BY such acts.
A more serious defection-more serious only
because it was on the part Of higher officer
was the resignation of Major HolRes of the
Army, in command Of troops at this station.
