YORK DAILY TRIBUNE TUESDAY. FEBRUARY l6 1864

sophistry can justify such legislation. IL Is 700
notorious that such grants, thus in elect using
private property, and in many instances greatly
reducing its value if not confiscating IT, are
sold in the market, the persons who OpIaihed
them pocketing thousands OF dollars, without
the expenditure Of q cent; and this Is all done
at the expense aud TO the injury of private indi-
yiduals, Who under the semblance oil The taxing
of their property for public use, ana therefore
receiving only nominal compensation, witness
its appropriation to private uses, ana the enrich'
ment of those, who literally, like roaring hons
20 about, seeking whom they may deyour.
A host of bills are now before our Legislature,
granting the use of our public streets to these
favored individuals. No compensation IS pro-
posed to be paid to those whose property IS taken
or injured No benefits are to result to our over
taxed citizens and our almost exhausted treas
ury. Can any community long stand tho per-
sistent system OF fleeing now practlced'u upon
This city, We have 10 hesitation in saying
that it must not be expected. We hear Oh all
sides that low and solemn murmur mat pcr'
tends the coming storm; and we trust OUT i'eSi"'
lature at Albany will heed its warnings. Ihat
Legislature has, We know, possessed the conn.,
dence of the people. Men are found among Its
members as high and as pure as any IN the state
Let them show by their acts that they have tho
honor of the State at heart, and that the rights
and property OF It's citizens are safe IN their
hands. 1t Is Union Legislature, elected by
those who are struggling 10 save their country
in this day of its peril and mortal strictly
those who give themselves. their children and
their means freely, 70 maintain our liberties aud
noble institutions.
STAY tho hand of rapacity and plumber IN this
hour OF National calamity. The responsible ma
iority Of the Legislature is and will be held ac-
countabe for all laws passed. Many OF the laws
applicable to this city, for few years past, have
been most obnoxious to our citizens. The result
has been from year 20 year that the dominant
party in the State has been growing weaker and
weaker in this city, until il is now feared that,
il this course of legislation is persisted IN aud
carried ont, II will be hopeless 10 sustain those
who are made instrumental in perpetuating such
great wrongs
We implore our friends nj Albany topause be-
fore they grant away any more privileges To
private individuals, 10 enjoy what solely belongs
to the public If railroads in the streets are re-
duired, let them he built and rnn by the city,
and for its benefit. Ii wanted in any particular

Gen. Sherman entered Jackson, Capital Of
Mississippi, on the 9TH instant, having accom-
pliShed his march from Vieksburg deliberately
but without serious opposition. There was
some resistance at the crossing Of Big Black
River, and sharp skirmish at Clinton, nine
miles west Of Jackson, but there has been no
battle and VIII be none till Sherman's column is
much further on its way. Polk is at Enterprise,
near Meridian, with Oh army of paroled prS-
oners and conscrpts, the former of whom the
high-minded chivalry will, Of course, send to the
field as soon as they want them. But we doubt
whether the Rebels will find themselves strong
enough to risk q general engagement in Mis-
sissippi. 1t is not TO be expected that Johnston
will send any large portion Of his forces west Of
the Tombigbee River. If he does not, Gen.
Sherman may pursue his campaign for some
time to come without any very brilliant results,
yet with important success.
There is no news from the cavalry columns
Of Gnerson and Smith, except q rumor that one
is intended to cut off Folks retreat, and dis.
perse Forests troopers, supposed to be still
haunting Mississippi.
But statement comes from CHATTANOOGA OF
the highest moment, if trustworthy. The army

The House yesterday resolved, by Yeas IS
Nays ~, that the Constitution Of the United
States should be so amended as to abolish
Slavery in the United States wherever 1t now
exists. and 70 prohibit its extension in every
part thereof forever. We presume this may be
understood as hint TO the Senate to pass the
amendment which its Judiciary Committee has
alreadY rapOrted.

The Supreme Court Of the United States ha;
refused an application FOR writ of eert'orari in
Vallandgham's case, on the ground that they
have no authority TO review in the mode pro
posed, or in any mode, the proceedings of O
military commission. Judge-Adyocate-G General
Holt, who appeared for the Government, per
tinently remarked that the Court might as well
undertake to restrain the proceedings Of Con-
gress by Injunction as TO interfere in time OF
war with the jurisdiction Of a military tribunal.
Il seems to US that the Copperhead Democ-
racy may begin TO suspect that the Supreme
Court, which they have hitherto invoked SO
frequently, may not be inclined TO lend itself To
their work Of embarrassing the Government and
aiding the Rebellion.

The Whisky tax was again debated at length
in the House yesterday. Novot was reached.
The Ways and Means Committee are, OF course,
in favor of the Senate amendment, which reflects
their original views, We; we trust the influences
brought to bear on the House are not potent
enough to reverse its previous decision. But
there is rery strong lobby in the interest Of
the spectators, and none at all in behalf of the
Treasury.
