Saws the Federal Constitution:


"The Congress shall have power - to establish
Uniform laws the subject of bankruptcy throughout
the United States"
Such an express grant Of authority bears with
it an implication of duty. The great men who
framed the Constitution believed and felt that
uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcy
throughout the United States" were needed, or
they would not have made so broad and posi-
tive grant Of power.
Why is it that this vital, benefcent power-tha
grant Of which is among the most cOgent OF the
indirect proofs that the fathers had no idea Of
forming or perfecting league, but were intent
on founding nation--must forever lie dormant

CONNECTICUT-THE TIMES.

The n. Y. Times devotes another column to
"the Struggle in Connecticut" without ven

like to elect, though all that it does venture to
say clearly tends to favor English d Co. For

The facts are not so. The Copperheads Of
Connecticut, believing they could thereby make
some votes out of the shilly-shally, dish-water
politicians of The Times school, began the can

They asSailed Gen. Hawley while he was

not complaining of thiS-they have a right to
conduct their canvass as they see fit-but we
protest against The Times's uniairness in ignor-

TIHR SANITARY REFORM MOVE.
vIRhT

1t is about ten years since the friends Of sanl-
toward obtaining suitable legislation for the
purpose of organizing an efficient Sanitary Bu-
reau, one which should correspond TO the wants
and adapt itself to the growth of great metrop-
oils. 1t was not, however, until the Citizens
Association was fully inaugurated, and its Coun.
ell Of Hygiene and Public Health organized,
with such men among its active members as
DIR. Valentine Mott DIR. Joseph M. Smith,
DIR. Elisha Harris, DIR. Willard Parker, Dr.
Stephen Smith, DIR. James Anderson. DIR. John
w. Draper and many Others of our eminent
professional men, that the movement assumed
the character of q great and important reform.
The wealth and high social position of the gen.
tlemen who became members OF the Citizens
Association brought an influence to bear upon
the whole subject which has proved irresistible,
and has, at last, overcome the corrupt combl-
nations which have 80 long withStood all efforts
for sanitary reform.
The labors OF the Council of Hygiene of the
Citizens Association were upon a scale never
before attempted in any country in the world.
The City was divided into thirty-one districts,
each of which was assigned to medical inspec-
tor, and every street, alley, and iDsalubrous
quarter was thoroughly explored and reported
upon. Such men as VIM. b. Astor. james
Brown, James Lenox, Jonathan Sturges, James
Boorman Johnston, Washington X. Vermilye,
Edward S. Jaffray, Peter Cooper, Edwin Hoyt,
lie Grand Lockwood, James Boorman, Hamil-
ton Fish, Joseph Sampson, Robert l.. Stuart, A..
II. wetmore, John Taylor Johnston, j. +. d..
Lanier, A. 4. Stewart, John David Wolfe,
W. f.. Dodge and Others subscribed their
thousands to carry on the work. "The
Report on the Sanitary Condition of New
York." published by the Council of Hy-
giene, has been pronounced by eminent SAM
tarians and men Of science in Europe one OF the
most remarkable productions Of the age.
Florence Nightingale and the Earl of Shaftes-
bury have borne tribute to its merits, and have
declared ii To be without an equal in any other
country. DIR. Elisha Harris, the Secretary OF
the Council of Hygiene designed and prepared
the report for publication. The Legal Bureau OF
the association composed of eminent lawyers,
rendered. also, invaluable assistance in matters
Of law pertaining to the subject.
After protracted struggle, the great work
has at last, fortunately, been achieved. The
Metropolitan Board of Health is to-day an
organized force, composed of men of high eharac-
ter who have entered upon their labors with
tho full benefit of all that has been accomplished
by the Council of Hygiene ofthe Citizens Asso-
citation. They will, without doubt, make this
department the greatest blessing New-iofk has
ever enjoyed, and the Sanitary Bureau of the
metropolis will become henceforth model in
stead of a disgrace.

TEE NOBLE DUKE OF YORK's
CREnpTORS.

John NJ. Niles, while United States Senator
from the State of Connecticut, rose one day in
his place and INDUCED himself in jet of Free
Trade Locoiocoism upon the subject of a reduc-
ton of the duties on British coal. He declared
complacently that "he was friend of the
poor" and, with lofty patronage that was
catholic in its sweetness, announced that " the
common people were his chosen constituents. v
He corked up, finally, with demanding for his
poor constituency repeal of the tariff on coal
and sank into his seat fearless champion of
Democracy, who had just supplied his party with
an electioneering speech to prove its exclusive
devotion to the interests of the People.
One Daniel Webster from Massachusetts rose
thcreupon, and, with awful leisure and quiet,
drew from the drawer Of his desk printed pa

Connecticut Senator's speech, said that he would

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

Our last accounts Of the cattle plague in
England show that up TO the Sd of March, during
the six months in which the epidemic has 80 far
prevailed, Is7, 059 cattle have been infected, OF
which III, 654 have died directly from the dis
ease, and 90, 1875 have been killed by way Of
preventing its spread. But this statement is

have persisted since the beginning of the pest in
the latter days Of August. A partial plague Of

The merchants Of all countries have ever de-
manded the enforcement of Commerce as the
creator of wealth. The mercantile theory
whose leading dogma is Free Trade" is based
on the assumption that commerce is principal
in the creation of wealth. and not an agent.
This spurious claim is rapidly coming to gen.
eral denial among men. Manufactures, Agri-
culture and Mining produce wealth. Com
merce distributes their products. Commerce is
nothing but the agent of Industry, in the Same
sense that market-wagons, coal-barges and
ferry-boatS are agents. Commerce is machine
of exchanges--e useful machine, but necesss-
rily costly one--and one. therefore, to be dis
pensed with whenever it is advantageous to do
so. Commerce should serve Industry-it never
should control it. The commerce which. for
the sake of the profits derived from carrying
and selling cheap British goods, would restrict
or paralyze the manufacturing industry of this
country, is servant very nearly changed into
foreign enemy.

The bill amending the Excise Law of this
City was taken up yesterday in the New-York
Senate, and further amended by comforting upon
the Board of Health the exclusive power to
grant licenses. This, we hope, will hold. The
Excise law as now administered is dead letter,
or worse, and it is time the power TO grant
licenses was put in hands where it will be
judiciously exercised. The Board of Health
will do this, and under their control we may
hope to see something less than two rum-holeS
