this city, owing to the confined limits Of its

sion of all the lower part Of the island, resi-
dences, even for the most humble, must be
found up town In the adjoining suburbs, to
which New York Is fast betaking iselE Al
ready, in fact, people only work in New York |;
they live in Brooklyn, Jersey CITY, Hoboken,

sands Of working people whose occupations
compel them to reside somewhere within the
city limits, and therefore tenement houses be-
come indispens ible to that class. IL 10 OF

Registration.

The registration recor,s in this city and
Brooklyn, which the work of Friday and Satur-
day completed, show pretty clearly that the
people are aroused to the necessity of casting
their votes on Tuesday against the system of
legislation and State and city governments
which insists upon placing the negro over the
white man, and piling up taxation in every
odous shape upon the people at large. The
number registered in New York is 128,006,
which Is an increase on the registry Of last
year of 1854. In Brooklyn the numoer regis
tered is "a 397, an advance on last year Of fully
5000. It's to be presumed that every man who
put himself to the Inconvenience Of complying
with the vexatious Registry law which the re-
publican party impose upon us intends to vote
on Tuesday. Therefore we may anticipate
very large vote, and as there is no office to be
filed higher than that Of Secretary OF State, it
is presumable that the vote will be called out
upon principle, and that principle is the defeat
OF the Infamous radical policy.

The Emperor Of Austria and tho Church.
The recent autograph letter addressed by the
Emperor Of Austria 10 tn, Prince Cardinal
Rauscher, with reference to the action of the
Catholic bishops on the concordat, partly indi-
Gates that the Emperor and the clergy ale not in
very good accord. The archbishops and
bishops Of the Church are naturally uneasy
about the temporal power Of the Pope, and
they ventured TO demonstrate with his Majesty
upon the subject In responding Francis
Joseph gives them credit for all pastoral zeal
and good intentions; but he complains
that instead OF supporting, in accordance
with his wishes, the earnest endeavors
of the government In Church questions, and
instead OF advancing their most pressing
solution in spirit of mutual concilia-
ton, the bishops have preferred to increase the
difficulties Of the task at time when unity is
20 necessary, and when 1t is 80 urgently en-
joined not to add TO the causes of dissension
and complaint He concludes by trusting that
the bishops will be convinced that he shall at
all times protect and shelter the Church, but
that they will also remember the duties which
he, as q constitutional ruler, has to perform.
This, although very tenderly spoken, is never
theless rebuke which the bishops may not
relish, and which may lead to some complica-
ton between Church and State.

A case, reported in another column, was re-
Gently tried in Brooklyn in which an express
company contested claim Of about two
thousand dollars for the loss Of trunk and its
contents The defence set up was that on the
back Of the receipt given to the owner of The
trunk II was stipulated that the company
would not hold itself liable for any jewclry
nor for any value above one hundred dollars.
Such printed notice, 1t was contended, was a
contract which, when accepted, bound the

Tenement House Owners ON the Mend.
For some time past the owners of tenement
houses, calling Themselves an association, have
been somewhat contumacious in their efforts to
cvade the tenement house law, OF to set 1t aside
altogether, If they could accomplish that pur-
pose by q legal test Now, what does this law
require Of themY Simply to observe such
rules In the construction OF tencmcnts rs will
insure safety, health and cleanliness to the in
habitanis, and protect the city against the
ravages Of disease. Humanity has plea here
as well as law, and the public interest has a
claim higher than individual greed. We are
glad to observe, however, that the Tenement
House Association, after consulting with the
Superintendent Of Public Buildings, have seen
the wisdom OF acquiescing in the provisions Of
the law, and promise in future to make all the
alterations required by the same. This will
relieve the city from great deal Of misery II
the promise be carried ont In good faith. Tene-
mcnI houses, unfortunately are necessity In

Senator Yates, of Illinois, under the auspices
of the Union Republican State Committee do
lvered campaign speech at the Cooper Insti-
tute on Saturday evening last, the most promi-
nent feature Of which was his wrath against
Andrew Johnson. But we can tell Mr.. Yates
that Andrew johnson, in reality, is not in the
fight. This contest in New York will turn
upon the universal negro suffrage and Southern
reconstruction laws Of the present radical
Congress. No sensible man has any fear that
Andrew Johnson, by any overt act, will at
tempt to overthrow this government; but from
the results Of these late Southern elections
thousands Of good Union men are beginning
to fear revolution in tho structure Of our
political institutions if the radical leaders Of
the republican party are permitted to carry out
their schemes. Senator Yates is behind the

the travelling public as very just decision. If

Spain md Cuba.

The Spanish government has made its an
other words, the estimate Of how much bleed.
ing Cuba can stand this year. 1t is taken for
granted that the island will produce
3l,l62,653, while the expenditures will be
S25, 659,S34, leaving snug little balance OF
S5,502,819. The total revenue from Cuba and
Porto Rico is estimated at $34,55s, 1873, and
total estimated surplus s5,7l4,5O9. These are
snug little figures for the Spaniards to control.
They furnish to Spain, In q small way, what
the East Indies furnish TO England on grand
scale. Cuba is, however, quite disguised with
the taxation which goes to the support of
wornout, priest-riiden and corrupt European
nationality. 1t Is with the creates. difficulty
the Spanish islands can be held under the iron
rod Of Captain General and many thousands
of Spanish troops. Why these islands should
be mado to support dominating force Of
fifteen or twenty thousand men we cannot
understand. 1t is not for the interests Of the
Western Continent that any European country
should hold armed control over any portion
Of Its people. The Cubans should make com
mon cause against the efiete remnant Of the
Spanish race which chains them. A revelation
against old Spain would more than pay for
1t would give Cuba chance to develop her
self in consonance with the methods OF the
New World. Where are the Cuban patriots
