INC One Cent "a in New YOrk.


The Street Railroads of n. Y. City en-
deavored few days ago to raise the fare
to six cents. This illegal and unjust ad-
vance has created the widest excitement
in the city; The general feeling is that
the advance is unwArranted, and consequent
Iy there is great resistance to the demand
On Saturday last the police were Obliged
to intefere a number of times to prevent
the efFusion of blood. Cars frequently stop
ped from ten minutes to half an hour IN
consequence Of the resistance. Chatham
Square was blocked up for long time and
the refractory conductors were compelled
70 move on at the peril of their lives. The
policemen were required to assist the con
ductors when called upon, on the ground
that the Railrosd Companies had the con
troll of their cars until The subject was de-
eided by the Courts. The whole questlo
was brought before City Alderman and
the advance denounced The charters Of
the roads allows but five cents, and the
companies make immense dividends al
that price. They put the advance to si1
cents on the ground that they are author
lied so to do by the Internal Revenue Act
The Revenue Act authorizes an increase ot
q per cent, but the sdvance to six cents is
an increase OF 20 per cent. This is the is.
sue between the public and the railroad
commands. How the contest will terrnin.
ate is not yet decided. The Tribune re
commences that the increase Of one per cent
be.for certain time, and that then the old
rate be renued' "

..rhe clean OF Idght'' from Alex. II
stephens.

The name Of Alex: b. Stephens has be-
come one Of special interest to the people
of the North, from the fact that he dePre-
Gated Secession in the beginning Of the
movement and voted against it in the
Georgia Convention. His recent letter has
given the wished for opportunity TO the
peace CopPerhesds Of asserting that the
South is favorable to q convention Of
States with view to peace. This letter
Stephens may be regarded as semi official
statement, aad as such deserves careful
consideration. Now, in what manner does
the ablest Of rebel statesmen propose to
bring about peace Simply by our acCed-
ing TO his notions of the fundamental Prin-
ciples on which the Confederscy is based ;
by acknowledging the absolute sovereignty
of the States. de IA dasirous of cOnven-
ton Of the States, provided that conven-
ton is abetween equal and sover-
eign powers" That is, Mr.. Steph-
ems thinks a convention would
be a good thing, provided the COnfedefacy
is first recognized as an Independent power
Nor would he be wiling TO leave the ques-
tons IN dispute 'tO the absolute decision of
such a body" The whole subject Of rati-
fying any agreement to which such a con
vention might come would be left to the
States afterwards. He says:
1 should be opposed to leaving the ques-
tion at issue to the absolute decision OF such
= body. Delegates might be clothed with
mowers to consult and agree, If they coa.ld,
nnon some plan of adjustment, to be sub
stitnted for subsequent ratification by the
sovereign States whom it affected, before
Il would be obligatory or binding, and then
binding only on such as should 80 latlfy
it."
Suppose treaty of Peace and Reunion
we're agreed upon by such a convention.
What then2 1t is left to the sovereign
Ststesp TO ratify if they shall see fit Be-
mo uindepeAdent powers" there IS Nc hu-
r,sn probability that they would adopt the
+rastv of the convention. They would
simniv apree not TO adopt it. The result
would be separation. The convention
,ro,,l5 nrove TO be a snare for securing the
5isruntion of the Government.
The World calls this letter "a CLEAN Of
Tgbtn but is obliged to admit that there
is one serious obstacle to the restoration
the Union on the Stephens plan, that is
the rejection by the North Of the doc
t-ine of state sovereignty as held by the
SOUTH But yet it thinks the South
sbould be humored little on this subject
.La+ . thew Will only unite with us again
a.-e cannot compel them to adopt any spec.
,,Istive opinion of our own"
It's aI jugglery and political trick
M stephens regards the Peace move
ment in the North as apsrt Of the fruits l
of the resolutions passed by the GeOTgii
Legislature, declaring states are sovereign
and have the right to secsde when the1
see Ht. He therefore thinks it well 70 ed
courage the movement by such letter a
that published. .
But Mr.. Stephens might as well give a
his idea Of new Gonfederacies that shal
embrace the north west The north ives
stands by the whole Union in all its intsg
rity, and will fight to the bitter end t'
maintain it.

he Progress of Union An Cannda.

~ The Progress Of Union I'm Canada.
The Conference of delegates from the
two Canadss, New FOundland, Nova Scotia,
New Brunswick and Prince Edwards L.
land, which has been in session more than
q week at Quebec, with view to the con-
federation of these various provinces, has
expressed a great desire for such Union,
but is in trouble as to the basis Of repre-
sentstion. According to population, al
lowing one representative for every 10000,
Upper Canads would have so; Lower
Canada 40; Nova Scotia Il; New Bruins
wick 10; New Foundland 6; and Prince
Edwards Island 4 Fears are spprehend-
ed lest such unequal representation should
result in the excessive power of Upper
Canada. If some plan of satisfactory
representation can be devised, the Confed-
Grafton of the British Provinces will un-
doubtedly take place.

The Dragging of the COpperheadg that

ranted by the facts in the case. At her
last stste election N. Y. gave Union ma
jorlty of 1886 in vote of 6O2546. Her
soldiers could not vote then, now they can,
which will add frOm twenty to thirty thous-
and more. Democracy must make huge
strides if it o7ercomes that majority, of
which there is no probability whatever.

The hsSympathIes OF Europe in our Com
ing Election:


The remsrkab ble letter from John Bright
a portion Of which we published yesterday,
shows the direction of European sympsthies
in our present struggle. No man who is
conversant with the present attitude Of the
various parties in England, can doubt that
all who wish the Republic i'll, all who pray
for the success of the rebellion, all who hate
to see Democratic institutions proving their
stability in such great cricis asthis, all the
champions of kingly power, all who wish
to see slavery reestablished, are in favor of
the election of Mcclellan to the Presiden-
cy. On the other hand, all the liberal
thinkers of Europe, the men who hate
slavery and wish 10 see republicanism live
forever, are deeply anxious for the reele0-
tion Of Abraham Lincoln. Are not these
facts OF themselves sufficient to convince
every man that his duty Is not =toavote as
the enemies of his country and the haters
Of freedom desire him 70 vote -sasI

Tlae RapIdity of Telegraph BuAdAng'
A Cleveland correspondent of the New
York Herald furnishes the following illus
tration of the enterprise of Mr.. j. Il.
Wade, of this city F.
To give an instance Of the rapidity of
telegraph building, when set about in ear
nest, will state fact Of history in con-
nection with the Pacific Line now in op-
Grafton Early in 1861 Mr.. Wade went to
| California to arrange about their connee-
! tions. He contracted with California
company to meet them at Salt Lake. In
order to stimulate all parties to eIertion, it
was stipulated that the ona first opening
| its line to Salt Lake City should receive
fifty dollars a day forfeit from the other, as
well as the earnings of both ends of the
line, until the two routes joined. The
Western Union Company had not expect
ed to build the line that year; but under
the stimulus of Mr.. Wsde's contract, they
set to work and pushed through in about
! four months. The cost Of construction
was actually less than if they had taken
plenty of time for the work.
The line from Omaha to Salt Lake runs
through the Indian country, and q part OF
the way is off the main travelled route.
There are less arrangements than between
Buff 10 and st. Louis, and the managers
say that it works more hours in year than
their other lines. They assert that they
prefer an uninhabited to well settled
country, as far as working the route is con-
| cerned. One feat has been performed on
this line never performed in civilization
