The WEALTH or TRINITY CHURCH CoRpoRA-
TIoE.-It is stated that the corporation Of
Trinity Church originally owned two thousand
aud sNty-eight lots. Of which, since the year
1913, three hundred aud eighteen lots have
been given away, six hundred and ninety one
remnn, and one thousand and itly-niue have
been sold yet owing to the rapid rise Of
property in the city of New York, the value of
the six hundred and nineiy-one lots remaining
is many times greater than was originally that
OF the whole estate. These lots now form the
most valuable real estate in the First Third,
Fifth, Eighth, aud Ninth wards
On the last Of May 1896, the leases which
Mr.. Astor obtained oi the corporation Of nn
immense portion of the property will expire
by this circumstance the corporation will haye
full control Of real estate in the most profitable
part OF the city, worth, il is estimated, over ok
millions of dollars
The AstOr lease includes three hundred aud
thirty-eix lots, which were let in the year 1865
at seveniy-fye cents per lot for u term Of ninety
nine years. The lots are, Of course, all occupied
by buildings which yield generally high rents
Some idea Of the amount drawn from the rent
OF these buildings may be realized when il il
known that Mr.. Astor's income last year, as
returned in the Internal revenue Office Of the
Sixth district, was over S 100000.
ln few years all the leases given by Trinity
to various parties will ezpite and the property
will revert back TO the corporation. The value
of the whole real estate will then, il is said not
fall far short of twenty millions Of dollars -

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

A paragraph in our City Intelligence of yes
terday seems to US provocative OF sober rehec-
ton. We will reproduce its leading averments:
Mr.. John ]. Donaldson is q merchant of our
city, of the respectable firm Of Clafin & Co.
Max Winternitz is (or lately was) merchant OF
Newcastle, Beaver Co., Penna., and would seem
to be regular scamp. Five months ago, he
called at .Clafin & Co.'s in Church-st, looking
for goods. He then and there stated that he
had SO, 900 worth of goods in his store, with
$4,000 in cash, and that his total indebted
ness did not exceed $4,000. On the
strength of this statement, MIR. Donald.
son sold him goods to the amount OF
$40, 4O5, taking his obligations therefor. Not
long afterward, Mr.. L. W. Bancroft OF the
ClaHin concern, visiting Newcastle, found Win
ternitzs store closed and in charge of tho sheriff,
W. having confessed judgment to his brother
in the amount Of $4,000. Winternitz then adj
mitted to Bancroft that he owed $22, 900 in this
City-making his total liabilities at least S32,
OOO-and that his business had been prosecuted
at a loss from the start. Hereupon, Messrs.
ClaAn g. Co. have had Winternitz indicted for
obtaining goods by false pretenses, have pro-
cured a requisition for him from Gov. Fenton,
and have had him arrested thereon and brought
to our City, here to be tried, convicted and
sentenced, at total cost to our Taxpayers OF
hardly less than $5OO-perhaps good deal
more.
All this, be it understood, is Messrs. Claain
& Co.'s story, which we presume to be substan-
TALLY true, basng structures thereon, without
prejudice to Mr.. Wintcrntzs side Of the case,
when that comes TO be heard. And we say that

ss. 900 YEAH TO CONGRESS.

The following is the bill to increase the pay
Of Members of Congress submitted to the Sen
ate by Mr.. Sprague of Rhode Island last satur-
day, and so promptly and thoroughly squelched
yesterday by that body, on the report of Mr.
Sherman from the Finance Committee:
BILL supplementary 70 an act entitled An Act TO rseuss
Of Members OF Congress approved August
sixteen, eiehte en hundred and hfty Fix
enacted by The Senate and Houss Of Representation
Of he Una States Of America in Congress asssmbled
That the compensation Of each Senator Representative
and Delegate Congress, shall be ten thousand dollars
for each Congress and mileage non prorided by the
act to which this is supplement- and other laws per-
tanning thereto .
SIC @ And be II further enacted That this law shall
apply to the present Congress and each Senator Rep
sentatiye and Delegate shall be entitled to receive the
difference only between their compensation already
received under the law in force and the cOmpen'
saton provided by this act.
SEC g. And be IL further enacted. That all acts or parts
Of acts inconsistent with repugnant to the provisions
VI this act be and the same are hereby repealed.
1t will be seen that this modest measure
proposed that every Member of tho present
Congress should receive $4,000 moro from the
Treasury than the law now gives him, and
expressly stipulates for the continuance Of

HOW WE ARE GOVERNED - A
RATHER AMUSING PICTURE.

Messieun Of tho Albany Senatorial Invcsti-
eating Committee if you desire to witness q
most touching spectacle Of fraternal affection,
confidence and patriotic Self-sacrifice, we would
respectfully recommend you to visit the verml.
ion chamber from which that august body-our
Board of Supcrvisors-issue their vernilion
edicts " in regard to the examination, auditing,
approval and ordering payment of all bills (about
ten millions annually presented against this
happy County! 1t is sightto touch the sternest
heart. 1t is noble answer to those captious
cavilers who ask /" Have we any public virtue
left1"
Messieurs of the Investigating Committee (!
just to whet your appetites for the feast that Is
before you, we shall briefly outline-as it were
in charcoal-some ofthe moro striking tableaux
which are invariably represented at these dis
tinguished reunions We will suppose the first
bill presented is one Of about seventy five or one
hundred thousand dollars for white marble to
be used hereafter, at some remote period, in the
construction of the New Court House.
Supervisor John X. Briggs will arise in his
dignity and denounce the various items OF the
bill. lie will say that he knows, by past ex-
periencc, all his remonstrances to be vain; but
that, as q marble-dealer himself, ho desires to
place on record his opinion that the marble
furnished from his own quarries in Westchester
County is of an inferior quality, willie charged
for at rate exceeding that for which the finest
Carrara marble might be imported from the
classic cliffs Of Italy. He will be dubious, also.
as to whether the amounts alleged to BIO fur
nishod are not greatly in excess of those actually
delivered at the corner of Chambers.st. and
Broadway; and, in conclusion, he will beg his
brother Supervisors to scrutinze this marble
bill with rigdity, being all the more particular
in view Of the fact that one Of their own num-
Der, his very humble self, is to be beneficiary
of any errors in the account current.
This eloquent address will be received with a
storm Of dcyisivs denss, Supervisor William

1t is no longer disputable that three OF the
most eminent men of the COnfederacy nave
boon disnatcbed from Richmond in quest OF
Peace, and that they reached washington yes
terday. Some very inconsiderate structures on
the Blair Mission so termed, and this obvious
seouel to it have been made in Senate aud in
the journals. 1t seems to us the dictate OF WIS.,
dom and patriotism to say little or nothing, but
to leave the Executive wholly unembarrassed
in his action in the premises. We will there
fore only express our ardent wish and hope that
the overtures thus reciprocated may result in
speedy, honorable and lasting pacifcation.
Let us, for the present, fully trust our Govern
ment, prepared to aid it with our best efforts
should recurrence to arms become necessary.

We note suggestions in some quarters that
the Peace visit to Washington by leading Con-
federates is probably intended only By failure
to arouse the South to last desperate struggle
against the Union. Ofcourse, that's possibility
against which we should guard, but we do not
deem it probability. We kno~ that Mr..
Bair's visit to Richmond was impelled by an
earnest, honest desire for pacifcation, and 1t
should be reciprocated in that spirit if at all
Furthermore, we feel thatif any sinister, crafty
maneuver were planned, its execution would
have necessarily been intrusted to men OF less
exalted personal character than Messrs. Alexan'
der Fl. Stephens, r. M. L. Hunter, and John a.
Campbell.
