The Legislature will find no excuse for not
killing the bill which is meant to give unlim-
tied advertising to the proposed Law Gazette
"a paper which exists only in the clouds The
fact is not unimportant, and the principle is
all-impOrtant. Such schemes cannot he JUS
titled on any grOund-except that of pub
lie plunder-and the present proposal strikes
us rs particularly cool, even for New York
The Law Gazette has our best wishes for its
success-but there is no such paper Nobody
ever saw it, nobody ever read it; it is only
promised. If the Legislature should ever begin
to legislate upon the promises of individuals,
it will soon have no time for public affairs.
As for the projectors of the Law Gazette,
they had better publish first, and then ask for

Gov. Fenton has added another to his many
previous claims to the gratitude Of our City bv
vetOing the sO-called "CrOss-TOwn Railroad
which provided for laying iron tracks in
great number Of our streets, some of them
lateral, but Others running north and south, or
in the direction of greatest travel We hail
this veto not only for what it is but for what
it fOreshadOws. 1t justifies the hope that no
more surface roads will be authorized during
the Governors term of office, unless they shall
be passed over his yctO-a most improbable
contingency.
The Erening Post suggests to the Legislature
that it require the petitioners for the Transit
(thTee-tieD and Underground Railroads to COM
plete their works within a reasonable time, and
that it reserve the right to amend their char
ters We suggest TO all concerned the urgent
necessity of scrutinizng the bills now under
consideration and taking good care that they
contain nothing Objectionable and omit nothing
essential TO the public security and eli-being.
We should esteem it public calamity if some
means Of rapid transit from downtown to
Westcllester were not provided for at this ses-
sion; and we trust both underground projects
either are or will he so shaped as to command
assent and escape veto. We are not familiar
with the details of either bill, but beg those

The Trustees of the Five Points House of
Industry have just entered upon new and
admirable enterprise which cOmmends itself to
the best feelings of the philanthropic This is
the establishment of House for Working
Women, where poor girls who have no homes
of their own may obtain for a small sum clean
and well -ventilatcd rooms, wholesome food, and
facilities for self-improvement, and where, at
the same time, they may be protected from the
contaminatng associations and bad influences
to which their class are so peculiarly exposed in
large city. The Trustees have purchased a
large building in Mott-st, capable of accommo-
dating 400 or 800 persons; but to fit it for oc-
cupation an outlay of about $4,000 will be
required Half this amount is already supplied
For the rest the managers appeal to the gen
erosty of the public and we are confident that
their appeal will meet with ready response.
Contributions may be sent to Hugh n Camp,
Treasurer, No 149 Pearl-st, to S. B. Halliday,
Superintendent of the Five Points House of
Industry, No. 100 WOrth-st.

part of the balance has been used in payment
of the debt. much is reserved as a basis of

we presume it will stay till next January, and
meantime the law will be in operation.

The Lcprosy Hospital on oIoIo-
1Sni.

Two weeks ago we published a communication
from a gentleman of unquestioned v~eracity, re-
garding the management of this establishment.
Rumors had from time to time reached us about
the neglected condition of the unfortunate
natives driven to that secluded district, but not
having the facts at our command, we were unable
to speak knowingly. We have since learned that
the real state of things has not been more than
half published, and that every word of our CORES
pondent is true.
We have now another and more full statement
furnished by a gentleman who has visited the
leprosy station on Molokai. He informs us that
the number now there is 11S. of whom so are
males and SO females. Besides the lepers, there
are 81 persons not diseased, who have gone there
to take care of their sick friends or relations.
These persons live with the lepers, eat and sleep
