COY. FENTON,s YETOEs.

Very few words will suffice to express the general
approval and gratitude wherewith Gov. FentonS
yetoes of the Oneida Canal aud the Susquehanna and
Champlain Railroad bills are received. These bills pro-
posed an addition of about S,25OOOO to the taxes oil
our State; and the Governor justly thinks it better
that the works should wait than that this heavy add
ton be now made to the burdens of our Taxpayers
And he is emphateally right.
We do not Judge any of those works impracticabie
nor undesirable. We freely admit that they ought to
be- and in time will be, constructed We do not de-
eide that the State shall never help them just now
however heeannot afford it. We have enormous War
Debts-Nationa State, and local-whch must be met
and these, with the inevitable cost of supporting the
Government, will tax tho people very heavily. They
will take from large portion Of our citizens more
than fourth of their earnings their income. Mean
time labor and materials dear-probably fifty per
cent. dearer than they will be- The Governor
Judges therefore that these Canals and Railroads must
wait, or must go ahead without taxing the People
and he Judges wisely. The vote in Assembly OF 10 70
sustain the Susquehanna veto to "a TO override 1t Is
fair index to public sentiment Honor to the GOV
ernor who dares TO incur local hostility in his deyo
ton TO general good

NoN.PARTusAN DEMOCRACY.

Our Democratic representatives at Albany some
times show themselves to be superior to party con-
sideratons. noteworthy incident of this character
occurred on Thursday evening during the discussion
of the New.York Tax Levy. Senator Sessions oe'
nounced the Court House swindle, for which an ad-
dtional half million of dollars had been inserted anu
offered an amendment which provided that all future
expenditures upon the building should be under the
direction of Commission consisting OF Mayor hon-
man. County Clerk Conner, and Chief.Engineer Cra-
ven of the Croton Board. Senator Andrews opposed
the amendment, and appealed to Republican Senators
to vote against it, because it took the work from
building Committee, composed of Supervisors Iweed'
Stewart Shook and Roche equally divided in politics.
and placed it in charge of Democratic Commission.
That some Republican Senators should have opposed
the transfer is not surprising; but the singular fea
ture of the case Is that not only tie Democratic Sena
tors from this City, but also all the country Demo
crats-H. C. Murphy. Sutherland aud Chambers
voted against ntrusting this precious job to gentle
men OF their own party Perhaps they feared it might
corrupt them.

COMMON SENSE AND CHOLRRA.

Mr.. Acton, at the meeting OF the Board OF Health
two days ago, inquired how it happened that the
steamship Virginia was allowed to como up the Bay
with the Cholera on board. We have seen no salts
factory answer to this question, and, still less any
reasonable explanation of why the ship was permitted
to lie of Staten Island from Wednesday evening till
the next morning. The assurance that hereafter the
duty Of the Health Officers will be properly discharged
is very well but lot hope that may not have to
regret that tho stable door was not shut before the
horse was stolen.
The learned doctors are still disagreed whether
Cholera is contagious or infectious. and in tho mean
time the pestilence stalks from country to country and
hurries thousands to their graves. While the quos-
ton is in dispute common sense may be permitted to
have hearing The disease breaks out on board two
steamships sailing from aheathyport and in thecourse
Of twelve days makes fearful havoc. Both these ships
belong TO the same line, are constructed in the
manner. having lower deck below tho water-lne,
which no ventilation can reach except through wind
sails, and where from thousand TO twelve hundred
human creatures are huddled, breathing over and
over again. the poisonous exhaatons from their own
bodies. In any other than Cholera season. the re-
port on the arrival Of the vessels would have been,
without doubt, large per centage of deaths from
ship-fever, or smallpox. In q Cholera season the
disease inevitably generated-whether spontaneously,
or from contagious Infection is practically of no i'm
portance--takes the. form of Cholera. The crcum-
stances were favorable to the development of
pestence, wherever it comes from. Cholera does
not break out in ships going from countries where it
docs not exist but in those from countries whore it is
prevalent. 1t got on board the England and the
Virginia. and it would got on shore to propagate itself
ifit found again the favoring circumstances. These
are scattered in abundance all over this city This is
common sense, and of far value than volumes Of
medical theory. Had the Virginia and tho En-
gland had decent accommodation for their human
freight instead of slowing them away like dunnage
in the hold, they might have crossed the
ocean as other vessels did, at the same
time, without an outbreak of any disease whatever.
AS it was no other result was possible, and the pes
thence took that form which, from some unknown
cause. it certain to take. The only thing to
be DONE if that is possible, is to con6ne it to that
locality. prevent its further propagation and destroy
its germ. At least this be attempted and TO neg
lec such measure of precaution is simply criminal.
