tent Direction.
The New York Central Railroad Company
have bill before the Legislature granting
them permission to raise their fare to two and
one-half cents a mile on fast trains. They are
now restricted by law to two cents mile.
There is no necessity for such legislation, and
il Is piece OF impertinence or ignorance in
the company to ask It. The Central Railroad
have perfect right to raise their fare, even
higher than is proposed. They need no
enabling act from the Legislature whatever.
In other words, the road possesses the right
TO charge t,co cents a mile in gold. This, at the
present price Of gold, would be about two and
thrce-tifths cents. When the charter was
granted specie was the only legal tender, and
when the road was limited to two cents a mile
II was two cents in specie IL has . right
still TO charge or to compromise for currency
amounting to the same in value.
The Legal Tender act, as will be seen by
reference 70 its text, applies only to debts, not
to cash transactions The greenbacks are
made legal tender for all debts, public and
privater But railroad fare Is not q debt.
Roads can demand their fare in advance.
They do always demand and receive II in
advance. The Legal Tender act has no appli-
cation to such transaction.
The Central Railroad has sacrificed millions
Of dollars by the remissness OF Its directors
They should have exsmined the Legal Tender

General sherman on New ExpsditIo..


II is rumored that General Sherman intends
joining Captain Duncan's excursion to the
Holy Land, which is to sail in June next.
This is very probable. In the middle ages,
when distinguished men committed faux pas,
they usually undertook pilgrimage to tho
shrine Of the Saviour, by way of expiration.
When General Sherman set out on his Mexican
mission he Numbered and went astray. We
had correspondent with the expedition who
could have guided him straight to his objec-
tive point; but he refused his aid and uncere-
moniously put him on shore at Havana. The
Generals pilgrimage to the Holy Land is
doubtless undertaken in spirit Of repentance
for this and Others Of his past errors. We
question, however, if he win succeed in reach
ing it unless he enlists the services of another
Of our correspondents to show him the way.

Impeachment Of Chief Justice Chase.
Ben Butler and the other radicals in Con-
gress who are SO hot on impeachment should
turn their attention to Chief Justice Chase, II
they must have . case. He has declined to
carry out the laws, while President Johnson
seems disposed to do his duty in this respect.
First, he has refused all along to hold court
to try JEFF Davis, although the rebel chief has
been prisoner long time under the gravest
charges. But stronger case for impeachment
can be found in his refusal to appoint registers
under the Bankrupt law, though the act Of Con-
gress requires he should do so. This is PAL
pable resistance Of the authority of Congress
and fragrant obstruction of the law on tho
part Of public functionary only next in station
to the President. Mr.. Johnson's case seems to
be doubtful one, as he has not refused to
carry out the laws Of Congress; but here there
can be no doubt. Mr.. Chase's offence is clearly
an Improbable one. What do Butler and his
radical confreres say to thiss In their zeal to
see the laws executed will they not impeach
the Chief Justice for refusing to do his dutyf

The City Chamberlain nnd the City Funds.
We publish in another column the text of a
bill now before the Senate at Albany, having
reference to the relations of the Office Of City
Chamberlain to the city treasury. II appears
that the average balances from the Sinking
Fund Commissioners is estimated at three mil
lions Of dollars. This amount passes into the
hands Of the officer known as the City Cham
berlain for safe keeping, upon which three and
a half per cent is paid by the banks which re-
ccive the deposit, thus returning to that official
about 100000 interest, which, under differ
ent system, ought to go into the city treasury
for the relief Of the taxpayers. The bill before
the Senate contemplates the saving to the
public Of about $4,000 year, and is there
fore worthy OF the serious consideration of the
Legislature.

sented by Bsrnum, the author Of some Of the
most illustrious lies Of this century, and the
inventor of more pitiful swindling lodges and
vile deceits than all the inmates of all our State
prisons. When community proposes to send
such man TO Congress it is evident that its
conceptions as to the right use of vote are
very cloudy, and every opportunity to enlighten
It should be taken. Even Cady Stanton could
enlighten 1t, and of course ought to try. Go to
Connecticut, all ye brilliant lights.

The h00nco1o 0tunplo8 tu0 6Outus
It is given out that Mr.. Wilson and others Of
the radical leaders in Congress intend, after
the session is over, to stump the Southern
States in support Of their particular views.
The idea is an admirable one, and the more Of
these gentlemen that 60 the better. The effect
cannot but be salutary. When the extremists
on both sides como together they will be apt
to modify each others sentiments Ben Butler
has already been in the South, but It was in .
capacity that rendered him incompetent to
form correct judgment. He went there as
great military leader and came back with
heap Of glory in the shape of-spoons Cen
eral Schenck was also down there /; but his ex-
perience was confined to running into rebel
train and getting cut up at Vienna. Banks
performed some remarkable military exploits
at Red river. Well, we would recommend
him to go and take look at Red river
again. We do not know, in fact, anything that
would create greater interest than for these
front the Southern politicians on their own
stump and bid for the negro vote. A discussion
sustained by Henry Wilson, Ben Butler and
General Schenck on the one side and by Wade
Hampton, General Longstreet and Ex-Governor
Wise on the other would be one Of the most
exciting and entertaining things imaginable.
The excitement, however, would be all on the
side of the Northern men for the fre-eaten
have learned to take things coolly, and cam
not now be easily put out of temper. We
have no doubt that if the stumping business
were once fairly set going even General Leo
would be induced to lay aside his reserve
and take his share in it. Thu, effect certainly
would be to educate the negro to higher
point of intelligence on the subject Of his rights
than all the school s'marms" from New Eng
land can succeed in teaching him In o quarter
of q century. The negroes havea great deal
Of natural shrewdness and cunning. They win
soon find out ON which side their interest lies,
and win vote accordingly. The result will be
that the South will get back into C0nssess BY

them. They lost six millions last year. A
greater blunder on the part of directors could
hardly be pointed out 1t was an oversight
rather costly to the stockholders. And now
the directors boast that under their manage
ment the stock is above par In greenbacks 1t
may be; but in specie valuation-the only
true measure of value-it is far below par.

As an evidence of his attainments, it
is instanced that he once preached In
Buffalo, on the same day, an English
sermon, a French sermon and a Ger

was made Bishop of Buffalo in 1847,
there were three Roman Catholic

are now nineteen. one Of them a Ca
