the bill now under consideration. passed. would be
overruled by the courts"
Yes, Sir! it is probable that the anti
Monopoly bill will pass "if it is brought to q
vote" and that is just why all manner Of lsgis-
lative tricks have for months been employed to
stave off and prevent such vote. Now that
the game is exposed, how much longer shall it
be played with impunityi
We rejoice to hear that new road between
Washington and New-York is likely to be
chartered There should be q direct, first-class,
double.track railway between the commercial
and the political metropolis of our country, not
liable to interruption by the freezing up OF
river that might and should have been bridged
twenty years ago. Eight to nine hours should
suffice for express trains from the Hudson to the
Potomac. Hurry up that new road
Mr. johnson may well say that whatever
rights the Monopoly may have are perfectly
safe in the hands of the courts. Congress can.
not divest them and need not be concerned
about them. So make haste to unShackle us,
Messrs. Senators

that treason and rebellion are crimes, which no
editor has either moral or legal right to up
hold and abet, ard which he may be restrained
from advocating without infringing the Liberty
of the Press. We undoubtingly believe this.
Now, The Record is devoted in unequal proper.
tons to the championship Of the Roman Catholic
faith and polity, which il has perfect right 70
commend, and to the JEFF. Davis Rebellion,
which it has no right to uphold in this City OF the
Union. 1t gives jeff. about three of its pages
to every one it accords to the Pope, which is an
unfair division. We believe that no single issue
of The Record for the last two years has falleS
to contain editorials so openly, glaringly tral'
torous that they would have justified its peremp'
tory suppression, and this without the smallest
infraction Of the Liberty of the Press. Foment'
ing treason with IMMUNITY is one thing; sup
pressing so simple an item of news as tho re-
moyal of Gen. Butler is quite another.

States Government. The G0vernor,General in
O special message, recommends On appropriation
to replace the 800, 900 in gold given up by the
Montreal police officers to the st. Adams raid
ers. The Parliament received the message with
cries of "Hear, Hear" and there was no eX-
preston of dissent. Judge Coursol has been
suspended from Office. An Alien and Anti
Raid bill, it is expected will be tho first meas
ure to be passed into law. All these are GER
tain indications that both the Government and
the Parliament of Canada mean that their obi
cations toward the great American Republic
shall be in future more faithfully discharged.
We learn that there is in the Canadian Par
Lament majority of at least three to one in
favor of the British American Confederation,
and that even the chief representative OF the
British Crown, the Governor-Gcneral, tells the
Canadians that they are to become members OF
"a new nationality" The attacks upon this
passage of the speech from the throne, by those
naners which are in favor of the British Prov
inces remaining forever the vassals OF a Euro
pean power rather than becoming free State
of America, are the best proofs that the first and
the inevitable effect Of the consummated con-
federation will DO to Americanize the people,
and to wean them from their servility to for
eign power whose own statesmen now desplse
them for their want of independence, and who
frankly tell them that, in case of war, England
will not deem it worth while to incur in their
behalf the expenses Of a great war.

PUBLusMGNG INCOMES.

We learn that the Publication Of the list of In
come tax payers in this city, against which there
has been so much absurd cutlery, islikely to prove
beneficial 10 the revenue, as well as to the con-
sciences Of some of our "best citizens" Already
as we understand considerable sums have been
returned to Assessors and paid to Collectors, by
persons who have discovered "crors" in their
original returns Of incomes since the publica.
ton of the lists referred to; and Assessors have
received valuable information in reference to
the incomes Of some gentlemen who should, but
have not yet, amended their returns. The
penalties for false or fraudulent return are, FIRST
an assessment in double the amount sought to
be evaded; and, secondly, fine not exceeding
81, 600, or imprisonment not exceeding one
year, or both, in the discretion Of the Court.
1t is to be presumed that all persons who, on
reading the printed lists, discover that they
have made mistakes in the returns of their an.
nual "gains, profits, or income" would be
able to adjust any little differences between
themselves and the public Treasury with greater
facility BY calling voluntarily upon the Assessors
Of their respective districts, than by taking the
risk of being waited upon by those officers.

We have brief but authentic accounts OF o
movement by the Rebel iron-clad fleet on the
James. Five vessels came down the river on
Tuesday, foated over the distractions sunk by
Gen. Grant for the protection of our navy, and
engaged the land batteries in the ncighborhood
of City Point. One ofthe iron-clads got aground
and was abandoned and blown up. Two Others
were so heavily peppcred by our batteries that
they quickly gave up the fight, ran back up the
river, and were ingloriously followed by their
eonsoIts. One dispatch intimateS that there
was want of watchlulness on board our ships,
and another account is that Admiral Farragut
has gone down to take command.
Items Of war news will be found in our ex-
tracts from Rebel papers, but they have been
by accounts from our side.

Gov. OGLEsBY of Illinois is Kentuckian by
birth, and doubtless shared the prejudices of his
native State; but he has been fighting Rebels
until he carries pretty fair allowance of lead
in his body, which seems to have operated to
clear his brain, since, in his Inaugural Address,
he says:
as the public sentiment Of the country to be checked
or delayed in its determination to eradicate slavery
from the soil Of the Republic by the constant inquiry

1t will be seen that in that portion of the
State Of which Gen. Hays has charge the quota
Of every Congressional District out Of New
York city has been decreased, while the quota
of every District in the city has been largely
increased. The increase in the city Is no less
than Ii, $50 men, which, added TO the ASS de-
manded on the previous quota, makes up n total
of II, 0I9 men. The quota Of the city under
the previous call for 100000 men was %, l4O,
only 2, I2l more than under the present call for
300, 900 men. Immediately on learning OF this
state of the quota last evening, The Board Of
Supervisors convened, and Supervisor Blunt
went to Washington by the midnight train to
ascertain, if possible, how this quota was ar
rived at, and to represent to the Department
the injustice of a quota based on the present
enrolment, which is proved by the County En-
rollment Bureau to number nearly $4,000 more
names than il should.

We publish in another column of this morn
ings paper the argument of Geo. Shea, esq,
counsel for the plaintiff, in an action brought by
Robert Newman against the Second Avenue
Railroad. The question involved is the right OF
the city railroad companies TO increase the fare
charged to passengers to meet the tax levied Oh
these roads by the Revenue Law. 1t is SUBJ
ject of interest to every citizen whose conve'
niencc or pleasure it is to use these public con-
veyances, and especially to thepoor, to whom the
addition Of a cent to the fare is no slight bur-
den. The jury could not agree upon verdict,
and it is understood the case will have another
hearing. The bringing of the suit, however,
has already had a good result, if the rumor be
true that two Of the city roads propose to 60
back to the old and legal rate Of fare. The ar
gument of Mr.. Shea is important, not merely
as vindication of popular rights intringed upon
by those railroad companies, but as an e1posi-
ton of legal and political principles Of general
application, and of special value at this moment.
It's ability as well as its Importance will CON-
mend it to careful reading.

Several City journals have advices from
Albany that the Editor of The TRIBUNE was
recently at that capital electioneerng for the
post of q. s. Senator" There is no shadow OF
truth in this. We have not yet heard OF any
vacancy in the U. S. Senate from this state,
and doubt that there will be any this Winter.
And if one should occur, we shall desire and
expect that it be filled, not from this end OF the
State, but the other.

THE ILLINOIS BLACK LAWS.

Illinois joins the procession oil freedohiIoVihg
States. Nominally free, her statute.book has
long been dsgraced by code against the negro
not less barbarous than that Of South Carolina,
and far less excusable. This Illinois code has
been known to the country under the name OF
the Black Laws. The Senate Of the State voted
yesterday to repeal the whole Of it, and there is
no doubt of the concurrence Of the lower
House. So, all hail Free Illinois!
II is forty-six years since the first oil the
Black Laws was passed. At that time there
were few Shareholders in the southern part OF
the State, and the law was for their benefit
But when, in 1915, tho code was reenacted,
Slavery had scarcely foothod on Illinois soil;
but it had there, as all over the country, tre-
mendous political power, and its behest was
, readily obeyed by the negro.hating pro.Slavery
fanatics who ruled the State. 1t was enacted
that q slave or servant found more than ten
! miles from home without pass might be pun
shed, by order of Justice of the Peace, with
thirty five lashes and that any slave or servant
found upon q plantation other than that of his
master might summarily, for no other oitense
and without legal process, be logged with ten
ashes. All colored persons were presumed to be
slaves unless they could prove themselves to be
free aud the law required Of every one entering
the State a bond of 81 900 that he should not
become pauper. Lacking proper certificate,
he was deemed a runaway slave, and might be
sent to jail and advertised by the Sheriff for six
weeks. II during the time be was thus confined
the negro could not procure evidence of his
freedom, he was hired out for year for the
benefit of the county tseasury. After he had
been thus imprisoned and his wages stolen for a
year, he was let 90. Such was the encourage
ment given TO negro immigration into this
:" FREQ" State
But even this was not enough to satisfy the
dcyotcos of Slavery, and in 1853 a third law
was passed, which enacted, in substance, that If
any negro or mulatto should come into The State
and stay ten DAYS he should be fined fifty dol
lars, and sold at auction to pay it-sold Tor n
term long enough to discharge the fine, and if
he did not leave the State at the expiration of
that term ho should be sold again; and so on
indefinitely. lie had the option to leave the
State or stay in ii a slave.
Such are specimens of the laws which
TO this hour blacken the statute book
Of the State which gives q President
to the Union. If it is amazing they
should have been allowed to stand till now, let
US rejoice the more that they are at last TO be
expunged. The sentiment of the State as de.
clared by its loyal press, is overwhelmingly in
favor Of tho repeal. If there were any doubt of
legislative action, twas confined to the Senate.
The House will give larger majority than the
Senate gave yesterday, and when it is given
Illinois may without shame stretch the hand
of greeting and congratulation across to Mis-
souri,, aud without sell-reproach raise her voice
to hasten the advance of Freedom in Kentucky.

HoWNoTTo DO 1T,

We hope no Western regiment has rec
ord like the following, given by correspon.
dent Of the N Y. Times:
OF three detachments OF substitutes sent
from Concord, n. II. to join the 5th N. II
Volunteers, amounting to 635 men, 327 deser-
ted on the passage, leaving only 488 to arrive
at the regiment. OF these 81 deserted to the
enemy; sc deserted to the rear; have been
discharged for utter physical iucapacity;
have been sent back to Concord to have their
cases investigated and 2 have been discharged
by order of the War Department. Thus out
of 635 men sent to one regiment since August
last, only 358 remain.
An army cannot be strengthened by addi-
tions which would disgrace Penitentiary;
it may be degraded and corrupted. To in-
sure defeat, to make worthy veterans shun and
quit the service, we need only send to the front
men who care for nothing but their bounties,
and who have neither character nor employ
ment at home. There are mastering officers
and examining surgeons, who for a consdera-
ton, will pass or reject any recruit, and who
are 10 collusion and partnership with the worst
class of substitute brokers. Such officers
ought to serve the Government in its Peniten-
tiary. 1t is well that examples have been
made of deserters recently, but to what extent
the evil has gone is shown by instances where
men have each received several thousand dol
lars as the price Of frequent desertious. The
New Hampshire regiment is no solitary excep-
tion. In memorial presented to Congress
by committee of prominent citizens, it is
stated, that of the men recruited in PhiIadel
pha during the past month, amounting to
many hundreds, scarcely mora than one-fourth
reached the army in the field, and of those
who do, part deserted to the enemy, to re-
enlist again. This committee has prayed Con
gress to interfere to devise measures to re-
move the evil, Mayor Henry and the City
Bounty Fund Commission concurring with
them in recommending that an end should be
put to the whole system of local bounties.-
ColOnes have been found who were willing to
speculate in the lives Of men who we're to fol-
low them to the field, at the rate of from ten
to fiftv dollars a head. Such an officer should
be driven from the service he disgraces.
Here is an explanation Of frequent calls; Of
a call for 100000 yielding 100000, of increas-
ing burdens and corruption. We have been
Justly proud of our army. None equaling it
in intelligence and character was ever gather
ed together. Its past sacrifices, its present
fame nre glorious. No price is too large
which will save it from ruin and disgrace.

PRACTICAL PlETY AL nRERLIM.
JOSEPH j. LEWIS.
Commissioner.

The Oberlin News gives q church scene at
that place on last Sunday. After the long
prayer and before the second singing in the Ist
Congregational Church, the Pastor made a
statement as to the needs of the poor, showing
that thirty families were in extreme want, that
forty children were unable to attend Sunday
School for want of decent clothing; that many
women, from like cause, could not attend
church. The Pastor gave number of touch
ing cases of want and having concluded the
statement he said, 81 will be one Of ten to raise
one hundred dollars. Let those rise who will
join me-" Eleven or twelve rose. Now
said the Pastor, 81 will be one OF twenty to
pay five dollars each. Let those who join me
rise" The second hundred was promptly
raised. Now" said the Pastor, "I'll be one
of fifty to pay two dollars each" The fifty
rose to their feet. "Now," continued he, "let
US have another hundred from those able to
pay one dollar each, ," and be counted the num-
Der up-"eighty," said he, and gentleman in
a back seat (the amen corner we suppOse) said,
Il will give the twenty needed" and so four
hundred were raised.
The News says "some who are called
deacOas by courtesy, reputed among our wealth
lest citizens, with money at interest, and in
vested largely in government bonds, rose not
at ALL" The contribution bags were then
passed for the halves and quarters and dimes.
That exhausted the sermon time, and after
singing the doxology and receiving the bene-
diction, the services closed.

HOW TO MAKE BOOTS DURABLE.

have had three pairs of boots for the las
six years, and think shall not require any
more for the next six years to come. The
reason is that treat them in the following
manner. put pound of tallow and one o
resin in pot on the fire; when melted and mix
ed, warm the boots and apply it hot with a
painters brush until neither the sole nor the
uppers will soak any more. If it is desired
that the boots should Immediately take q pol
ish, dissolve an ounce of wax in a teaspoonful
Of lampblack. A day or two after the boots
have been treated with the tallow and resin
rub over them this wax and turpentine, but
not before the fire. Thus the exterior will
have coat of wax alone, and shine like a
mirror. Talow or grease becomes rancid, and
rots the stitching and leather but the resin
gives it an anliseptc quality, which preserves
the whole. Boots and shoes should be so
as to admit of wearing cork soies. Cork is
SO bad conductor of heat, that, with it in
the boots, the feet are always warm on the
coldest stone floor Mechanics Magazine
