the military programme Of General Mcclellan
will soon relieve the suffering people Of the
Soxth from the necessity of any such foolish ex-
pedients. We are inclined to believe that the
Burnside expedition will, in good time, smoke
Beauregard out of his den ut Manassas. and that
then we shall have the practical developement
of great Southern popular reaction in favor
of the Union, beginning with the restoration of
the "Old Dominion" and North Carolina, and
rapidly followed mp with the recovery of Ten
nessee and Arkansas. 1t is said that England
and France will most probably not indulge us
in our Southern Blockade beyond the Limit of
year, dating from the fall of Fort Sumter. Be-
fore that date, however, we expect that England
and France, in every form, will cease to recog-
Mise or sympathize with this over-mastered and
broken down rebellion. We have the rebel
armies so completely invested that when our
heavy blows begin to fall they cannot escape.
We shall, perhaps, be able to reopen the ports
of the South to all the world on or before the

adjourned. The next day Mr.. Pruyn defended
Mr.. Underwood. the Journal Clerk, and attacked
Mr. Alvord and then Mr.. Speaker Raymond
came down from his seat and made an oration.
He stated that the Chamber of Commerce, as a
Chamber, and the Dutch church, as a church,
never lobbied, and suggested that privileged
persons"-that is, select members Of the lob
by-''be allowed to make explanations before
legislative committees, and that all ether inter
ference be prohibited p' This is simply legal
ising the lobby and putting its control into
Speaker Raymonds hands-which is, perhaps.
just what he is after.
So the Legislature and the lobby have be-
come identical The lobbying Aldermen, the
lobbying Times, the lobbying Chamber OF Com
mercs; the lobbying public printer, the lobby
ing West Washington and Gansevoort jobs, the
lobby counsellors and the lobbying Dutch
church, all have their representatives this year
in the Senate or the Assembly and thus the
Legislature, in whitewashing the lobby, is, in
effect, whitewashing itself. The public has,
therefore, little Improvement to expect "in. and
around the. Legislature"

giving the New Workers an evidence of their re-
puted skill. This is the more annoying several
of the gentlemen paid New York visit last winter
with like result. We can only hope that if they
should be unable to stay in the city until fair
weather they may be more fortunate ON the next
occasion.
Skating was resumed on Friday with its usual
vigor. The wind was high during the day, and
blew from the northeast, and at quarter to nine
o'clock in the evening brought a storm of rain
hail and sleet, which completely cleared the pond
OF skaters without the assistance of the police.
The number of visters to the ice during Friday
was about Is 900. Messrs. Clark and Bent, the
new contractors for lighting the skating grounds,
have succeeded in locating four calcium lights in
such positions to light up the whole of the upper
pond from the Terrace to the Oak Bridge, making
the intervening space as light as day.
The sales Of cotton yesterday embraced about 800
bales all to spinners and in small lots the basis Of
33c per h. Some chance lots reported undor and
others above this figure Large holders still hold

sales quite limited and prices unchanged. Wheat

he Tribune ON Emancipation
jamaica.

The Tribune ON Emancipation I'm
Jamaica.
The Tribune recently contained an editorial
article in which it is attempted to show that the
island of Jamaica has become paradise in con-
sequence of the emancipation of the slaves
there. This is specimen of the statements
which that INSCRIPTIONS journal daily thrusts
down the throats of its ignorant and fanatical
readers. According to the testimony of all in
telligent and reliable tourists who have visited
the island, including American abolitionists,
the united testimony of British journals and
British statesmen, Jamaica, from having been
almost a paradise, has been turned into waste,
bowling wilderness by emancipation. BY the
efforts of the fanatical Wilberforce, Clarkson,
Buxton and others, that measure was carried
in 1884, at cost Of 100000, 900 to the British
nation. The statesmen yielded to the pressure
because they calculated the example would be
contagious in this country, and because they
could the better carry out their schemes to
break up our Union, in cooperation with abo-
litionists of New England. What is the result?
Jamaica is ruined, as the Southern States would
be by the same process. In single year, that
of 1852, the number of sugar estates abandoned
was 1919; coffee estates, 162; country seats, $40
making in all nearly 100000 acres. DR.. King
describes the evidences of decay as neglected
fields, crumbling houses, fragmentary fences

at the sameltime can give you no stronger
assurance of my most earnest CO operation
in the vigorous prosecution of the war than
my present relations 10 the army OF the Uni

As man. a citizen. and soldier. feel a
deep interest in such prosecution of the
war a. will result in its speedy and honorable
termination. To this end have tried to do
my utmost, and can testify TO the earnest
ness of the bravo soldiers who have served
under me- The people have furnished the
men aud means. the soldiers have done their
part, aud IL there Is any blame that the war
Is not ended. lay il not to the soldiers
New York Is central power In the ma

denotes of every other State. Hence the
responsibilities of her people are fcarfnliy
great, and one error may involve the nation
in ruin.
In your approaching election, had the
privilege. would appeal to the people OF
your State as | would To my soldiers In the
face Of the enemy, and beg them by every
consideration that could move the heart OF a
patriot, TO DO their duty without regard TO
selfish considerations.
Ii Is an enormous crime 10 expose our

any hesitancy to use the right means at the
