The Elevnted Railway.

The half mile of elevated railway on Green
witch street, from the Battery to Cortlandt
street, has been tried and pronounced decided
success by the special commissioners and all
the officials who have examined it in operation
The plan is to carry this road as far as Yonkers,
and the calculation is that when finished to
that point passengers will be transferred from
the Battery to Yonkers, or vice versa, in
twenty minutes. The steam engines employed
will be stationary, one at every half mile, we
understand, and the cars will be drawn by an
endless rope, so that all dangers of fire or acct
dents along the line from the engines will be
avoided. It is estimated that it will take two
years to finish the road. But why not in one
year or six months if the system is established
as perfect success? Meantime what progress
are the company making with the Centre street
underground road? They would do well to
hurry up their work, or before they get fairly
under way with it the underground may be
superseded by the cheaper and more expedi-
tiously constructed overground or elevated
system. Let this Greenwich street experiment
be thoroughly proved success for long or short
distances, and perfectly unobjectionable to the
horses in the street below, as It is SO far said
to be, and we shall soon have elevated lines
enough to enable our business men of the city
to leave their Offices, shops and stores in the
evening for their homes, ten, twenty or thirty
miles in the country, and return In the morning
as conveniently as they can now 60 by the
horse cars to the Park or Harlem.

Mormon Recruits-The Flourishisg State Of
the Twin Relic.


the Twin Relic.
Ten thousand women are the crop that the
Mormon proselytes have gathered in Europe
this year, and the first shipment of five hum
dred is in our city on the way to Utah, on this
l4th Of July, 1868. While in all the nations
throughout Christendom there is movement
for the Acknowledgement of woman and dispo-
sition to concede fuller recognition of her
personality in regard to all rights guaranteed
by law, here in the progressive front of the
nineteenth century we suffer the development
OF society founded on worse than Oriental
view of the nullity of woman before the law.
We permit the growth on that side of the Con-
tnent that is to meet and shake hands with
Asia Of institutions degradingly Asiatic in
character, as if we would do what we may to
establish that polygamy must flourish on both
borders of the Pacific. Woman has her innu-
merable champions in all our lawmaking
bodies; her voice is heard in every press her
claim is acknowledged more than half right,
and yet the great fact in regard to woman's
position in this nation is Brigham Young, with
his forty wives, more or less. We gable and
babble about woman and her right to hold
property, to be protected, &C.; but we look on
quietly at the demoralizing growth within our
limits of government in which she stands in
simple slavery, not only against our own enact
ments, but against the moral law, the con-
science of Christendom and against the laws of
nature.
Some four years ago the republican party ap
pealed to the people to help it put a stop to
this great scandal as one Of the s'twin relics
of barbarism" The other of these precious
twins was African slavery, which by some
happy accident died at such juncture that peo-
pie are at liberty to suppose, if they choose,
that it was killed by the aforesaid illumination.
But we have not seen that this illumination did
any harm to MOrmOnism; for, though the peo-
pie responded to the appeal and gave the re-
publican party all the power it could need in
the premises, the relic fourishes and is none
the worse for the very quiet dislike of its
sworn exterminators. Have the republicans
forgotten all about their famous declaration, or
do they mean to go at this when they have
used up all the other evils2

Collector Batiey's Cause.-The Revenue SER
The United States Treasury Department is
one must appreciate who has read the state
ment of Internal Revenue Collector J. F. Bailey.
Bailey it seems, collected the tax in pursu-
ance of bis duty, and thus became obnoxious
to men who make money by defrauding the
revenue. II was necessary to their purposes
that he should be put out of the way, and
charges were prepared against him. He was
to be shown up to the Secretary, by care
fully prepared case, as collector who did
business in the Callicott style. What com
pliment the thieves pay the government when
they take it for granted that they can get a
man out of his place by proving that he cheats !
Well, the plan was to prove that the Collector
was dishonest. Now the Treasury Depart
called Especial agents, whose peculiar duty it
is to nose out every mans dishonesty and
show him up. Eager for the prey. these
agents were pointed to it by the fellows who
were making the case against Bailey. They
bit Immediately. Indicted into all the details
Of the matter, they saw the mans guilt and
made the case their own; and thus it comes
that United States officer is called upon to
defend himself from assaults made on him
because he performs his duty and is compelled
to see the government itself in the number Of
his assailants represented by the Especial
agents" On both sides of the suit the govern
ment pays, and Mr.. McCulloch does the work
of the men whose prime object is to rob the
government
Is this middle Of cross purpose-this inver-
sion of the Secretarys ofice-a necessary con-
sequence of the magnitude of the department?
Not at ALL There Is nothing in the manage
ment of the Treasury Department that would
be too much for the abilities of any sterling
business man, and If this department only had
the attention from its nominal head that every
good manufacturing or mercantile establish
ment in the country gets it would thrive as they
do. All the trouble results from the way
capital Demagoguery is the only thing worth
any mans attention there, and the hours that
functionary should devote earnestly to the
discharge of his duties are wasted in receiving
some distinguished man from this or that Sec
ton, discussing with Senators the claims of
various persons to fat places, going through
the whole round political gossip and barroom
blather, while his duties are delegated to some
subordinate This is the case with all, from
the President down, and the consequence is the
inextricable ENHANCEMENT and confusion of
business. We need a change, thorough over
hauling of the whole government service, and
the appointment of administrative committees
to see that the duties of heads of departments
are discharged by some one If not by those
purely ornamental officials

sury ring aud to prevent the gold gamblers
from keeping up the price of gold with the de-
probation of the currency, it should tax
heavily all these pretended sales of gold. The
legitimate transactions for commerce might be
exempted upon proof, but the gamblers should
be made to pay high. A sliding scale might be
established and such laws framed as to catch
all the bogus operators and let the legitimate
and honest merchants escape. This would
tend to break up the Wall street den and Trea-

The letters which we published yesterday
from our correspondents at Shanghae (May
25) and Hong Kong (Msy 28) are full Of in
terest. The FIRST details all that Commander
J. c. Febiger, Of the American man Of war
Shenandoah, has been able to learn of the fate
of the American schooner General Sherman,
which was burned in the Pin-Yang river,
Corea, more than two years ago. The second
alludes particularly to the unreasonable
jealouses Of the different foreign Legations in
China--particularly the British Legation
excited by the appointment of Mr.. Burlingame,
late United States Minister to the Emperor of
China, as Imperial Envoy to the great Treaty
Powers. Time alone can reveal the folly Of
these jealousies and the unquestionable benefits
which the mission Of Mr.. Burlingame will
secure to all the foreign Powers which repre-
sent modern civilization in China. Our cor
respondent at Hong Kong adverts correctly
to at least one inevitable result of this mission
such arevision Of the treaty - shall insure the
freedom Of inland navigation throughout
China, which alone would amply compensate
for all the expense which the mission must
necessarily involve.
