prising II they failed to do so, a. tney have
hitherto done at intervals with the Erie and
New York Central. The restriction now exist
ing upon rates Of passenger fare onthe New
York Central would probably be abolished If 1t
stood In the way of the schemes Of the mo
nopoly, which would doubtless rapidly extend
itself by absorbing new roads to act as feeders
until the greater part of the railway system
Of the country would be under its control, and
q gigantic monopoly Of this kind mce estab-
lished is with difficulty destroyed. The public
has clearly great interest in preventing the,
contamination Of the plans Of the New
York Central party, and It has been suggested
in this connection that the Legislature should
make it illegal for any person to held office as
director Of more than one railwsy company
in this State. Meanwhile the contest in Wall
street and the courts is likely to bs conducted
with spirit until either the Drew or he Wander
bilt party achieve final success; but the pub
lie will do well to correct the impression which
prevails with respect to the one or the other
being indicted and tried for conspiracy, and
also the not less erroneous one tina: Justice of
the Supreme Court is amenable ID the Grand

Radical Rule and Its Effects in Tennessee.
In our Washington news Of yesterday we had
it reported that General George H. Thomas had
informed General Grant that the state Of affairs
was hourly becoming more alarming In Ten
nessee The State, in fact, was on the point Of
rebellion, a strong organization having been
formed on the part of the disfranchised whites
and others to assume control Of the govern
ment. General Thomas had been instructed
by General Grant to use all the forces at his
command, IL necessary, and to count on more
troops If they were required. The view OF the
situation given by General Thomas Is confirmed
by intelligence received from our special cor
respondents on the spot. The high-handed
manner in which affairs are managed by the
present radical authorities has 80 exasperated
the whites that the last point Of endurance may
be said to have been attained. Some facts
which have reached us are discreditable in the
last degree to those now in power. To be in
any way connected with man who took part
in the rebellion, or to be suspected of want of
sympathy with radical rule, is sufficient reason
for Withholding political rights.
In the present condition Of Tennessee we see
beforehand what may be expected from radical
reconstruction all over the South It's effect
can only be to reverse the state Of things which
existed prior TO the war. The nigger will be
the master, the white man the slave--that or
another rebellion.

The New French Press Law.

As an illustration of the liberties of the
French people under the present imperial dis
pensation, the new press law Of Napoleon is
perfect beauty. This law provides First,
that the publishers, &C., of newspaper or
periodical must enter into bonds of fifty
thousand francs for their good behavior.
Second, heavy stamp duties. Third, stamp
duties for all journals, political, literary,
scientific or religious Fourth, no member Of
either branch of the national Legislature shall
be manager of journal. The luxury Of q
newspaper organ is reserved among officials
exclusively to the Emperor and his executive
servants. Fifth, no person deprived Of civil
and political rights in France, or exiled there
from, shall publish any article within the limits
Of the empire. This excludes the exiled
Bourbons and the red republicans-the Count
de Paris and Victor Hugo, for instance-from
a hearing on any subject in the French press.
The sixth article Is calculated to operate for
the public good in stopping vast amount OF
scandalous French newspaper gossip. II pro-
vides that no journal shall publish anything
whatsoever relating to the private life OF any
individual, without said persons permission.
Seventh, offences of the press are punishable
in fines of not less than three thousand three
hundred francs nor more than twenty-five
thousand francs, author, editor and publisher,
each to be responsible. Eighth, in certain
cases corporal punishment is to be inflicted, or
in other words, the contumacious editor,
or publisher, or all of them, shall be subject to
imprisonment, with hard labor in the chain
gang or the galleys Ninth, for q second
offence against any Of the provisions Of this
law the offender loses his right Of suffrage for
FIVE years. Tenth, the offending journal, in
certain cases, shall be suppressed.
Such is the new press law Of France, passed
by a legislature one branch Of which Is elected
by universal suffrage. The law, therefore, may
be taken as the will Of the people Of France,
II we take this universal suffrage as bona tide
the voice Of tho French people. When 1t Is

Occasionally some obscure member Of Con-
gress, influenced by the desire to impress his
rustic constituents with the idea that he "means
business" rattles his pans after the manner
Of an Inherent tinker In search of any old tin
ware to mend" and announces his readiness to
stop all the leaks in the country. Mr.. Peters,
Of Maine, has recently introduced into the
House of Representatives bill to reduce the ex-
penses of the navy, which has been referred to
the Committee on Naval Affairs. It provides
"that all line officers Of the navy on reaching
the age of sixty years shall be retired, and that
no further promotions shall take place to any
new grade created since the 1st Of January,
1860; that whenever the grades of admiral,
rear admiral commodore, lieutenant COM
mander or ensign shall become vacant, they
present academic year the operations of the
Naval Academy shall be suspended until Con-
gress shall provide for their resumption"
Now, if Mr.. Peters is seriously in want of q
job we think we can put him in the way Of
finding very large crack in the Navy Depart
ment that will require all the solder and
oakum and pitch he can muster to effectually
caulk it up. We refer to the Bureau Of Steam
Engineering, from which not less than
eighty-two millions of dollars worth of
steam has escaped within the last six
years, without effecting any other re-
suit than merciless scalding Of the tax
payers of the United States. The navy no
doubt needs good deal of wholesome legisla-
ton, but instead of unsoldering the entire bot
tom of the vessel and allowing the contents to
run out as Mr.. Peters proposes to do, and Of
setting aside all the line officers after certain
standard average of wear and tear, like 80
many old kitchen utensils, he would do better
if he would aid in hermetically sealing up one
or more prodigals who are not line officers
He might commence, for example, by giving
us some light upon these two points -
How much money has been wickedly squan-
dered in compiling ridiculous books descriptive
of craGy experiments in steam and in con-
structing machine shops and foundries in navy
yards? and whether this amount, If properly
applied, would not have built at least half q
dozen cruising iron-clads, capable of meeting
an enemy in any part of the world?
We would like to be informed, also, what is
the reason that the magnificent engines Of the
Puritan at the Brooklyn Navy Yard have been
so shamefully neglected, with respect to the or
dinary precautions always adopted for the
preservation of steam machinery, that it is
questionable whether many important and ex-
pensive portions are not by this time totally
ruined?
These inquiries would be popular just
now, because they have an aroma Of re-
form about them, and Mr.. Peters would have
the satisfaction of putting his tinkering irons
in the fire for some purpose. 1t may be, how
ever, that in proposing to abolish the navy he
hopes, like Erostratus, when he fred the Tenn
pie of Diana at Ephesus, to perpetuate the fame
of Peters

WEATHER PHENoMENA.-The Bridgeport Comm
Standard says Long Island correspondent who
has been very close observer Of the weather for the
last forty years, has suggested the following:The
weather Of our winters moves very much In cycle
and 1855, also 1912 and ls67-s, were marked
with cold beginning eariy-holding on steadily and
continuing late. other winters have some very cold
weeks, but these have been unbroken. Again the
winters half way between these lS2I-2S and 1884,
also 1Sj9-60, have been very warm-the wind blow
ing very much from the south. He predicts that
eight years hence ls75-76 viii ke warmer than
either OF the seven prevlous and that sixteen years
hence, 1884, will be in the aggregate colder than
either OF the preceding nfteen winters.

Censrcssisaal swiadlisg-Ncw Tactics ef
the Radicals.
The radical majority in Congress are not
satisfied with their Overwhelming power to
carry everything they want boldly and openly,
but they resort to the most contemplate sort of
trickery and lnavery. We have striking ex-
ample of this In the tricky way in which an
important amendment was tackled on to bill
and rushed through regulating the jurisdiction
OF tho Supreme Court and directly affecting
the McCardle case, now pending in that court.
This piece Of Congressional swindling was
brought prominently before the public in the
proceedings of the House Of Representatives
on Saturday. The facts are these "A few
days ago bill went to the House from the
Senate relating to appeals on writs Of error to
be taken to the Supreme Court in cases
where officers of internal revenue were
concerned, placing them on the same
footing as officers of the customs in
reference to such appeals and writs of error.
1t was bill for special purpose and of very
limited application-a bill which had nothing
of party character in II, and so unimportant,
in political sense, that it would naturally
pass without any strict scrutiny or opposition.
To this simple bill the radical managers tackled
on an amendment of a most important charac-
ter affecting the jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court in such questions as are involved in the
McCardle case-an amendment, in fact, to de-
prive the Supreme Court from deciding on the
constitutionality Of the reconstruction acts Of
Congress. 1t was tackled on and rushed through
In such stealthy, fraudulent manner that the
opposition members seemed not to be aware of
what was going on. Indeed they were lulled
into security by q little confidence game or
practice on the part Of Mr.. Schenck and others.
These highly honorable radical members
assured the democrats that there could be no
possible objection to the bill, that it was
very simple one and of no great Importance.
We know not which is most astonishing the
temerity, trickery and nonchalance of the rad
calls, or the stupidity of the democrats in trust
ing such customers. But to crown all this
party knavery Mr.. Schenck unblushingly re-
joiced in the success of the trick and boldly
avowed that he would ''clip the wings" of the
Supreme Court whenever he could. Such are
the contemplate tactics of great party in
Congress, which has power to do whatever it
pleases openly and boldly. It is enough to
make the American people blush for the con-
duct of their representatives.
