The Judiciary and Fernando Woods Job.
The radical organs, the Tribune and Times,
are putting and praising slashing article which
appeared in one Of the magazines abusing the
judiciary in consequence OF q judgment
rendered in favor Of the lease of Fernando
Wood to the city for certain premises occupied
for public purposes, at the palsry sum Of one
hundred and eighty thousand dollars. The
decision Of the judiciary in this case is de-
nounced by these very conscientious journals
as Infamous, strocious, vile and everything
else which can be expressed by the strongest
adiectives. II is curious that such an attack
should come from this quarter, while the same
journals are endeavoriug to hide the more
monstrous frauds, amounting to hundred
millions year on the whiskey tax alone, by
assailing the United States courts and juries.
II looks as IL this fuss which the radical organs
are raising about the one hundred and eighty
thousand dollars involved In the Wood lease
was intended to cover up the tracks OF the
huge frauds upon the public treasury, which
they do not pretend to deny, but the proof OF
which they arc trying to hide away. by
attacking the character of the judges, iurcs
and witnesses aud by throwing the onus Of the
iniouity upon each other

ways and means. For example, President
Grant may clear out all the present revenue
officers, great and small, and put in new set,
and they may be confirmed by the Senate but
under the laws as they are it may be dis
covered after the lapse of a few months that

hies well gorged, for swarm half famished
and ravenous for this whiskey plumber.
What we want from Congress are the
ways and means for speedy trial and punish
ment Of Official delinquents of all sorts through
the authority Of the President, with such
amendments in our laws of taxation and reve-
nue. collections as will do away with some, if not
all, of the existing incentives to frauds and per-
juries. We dare say, too, that If this Congress
and the Congress which succeeds it on the
4th of March shall fail In this business there
will be Congress, or at least House Of Rep
resentatives, elected two years hence which will
bring President Grant into direct rapport with
the demo cratic party.

More About the Alabama Claims from,
Washington.

Washington.
Our despatch from Washington, published in
another part of the paper, gives more definite
information on the convention to settle the
Alabama and other claims between the United
States and Great Britain. It appears now
there are to be four commissioners, two on
each side, and not three, as previously stated.
In other respects our dispatches heretofore
published on this subject were substantially
correct The government at Washington con-
siders great point has been gained in getting
commission at all to decide on the Alabama
claims, as the British government held for
long time that it was not responsible for the
depredations Of the Alabama and would not
have the right of England to recognize the
rebels as belligerents brought in question
It is considered that the British govern
ment has virtually acknowledged now
its responsibility. The Alabama claims
are to be acted upon separately and in
a manner somewhat different to the other
claims. The decision on these is to be unani-
nous with the four commissioners, and if they
cannot agree unanimously on any claim II is
to be referred to an arbitrator. This provision
OF the convention does not appear to meet
with much favor from the President, and he
and his Cabinet have it now under considera-
ton. II is undoubtedly an Objectionable
feature and likely to lead to future complica-
tions Why not make decision by majority
binding, and if the commissioners were to be
equally divided then to refer the matter to an
arbitrator This would be fair. IL is to be
hoped our government will insist on perfect
equality and fair dealing. All this diplomatic
wriggling is out Of place. II is simple ques-
ton Of damages, and the only way to settle it
satisfactorily TO the American people is to pre-
sent the bill and have ii paid

John Brighrs New Revelation.

It is evident that John Bright is shooting a
little ahead of his party. He advocates re-
forms which his brother reformers are not pre-
pared to carry out. Take, for example, his
recent declarations that the law of primogeni-
ture was inconsistent with the times and the
existing principles of reform, and that import
duties should be abolished altogether as I'M
necessary. The liberal press does not sustain
Mr.. Bright in these extreme views. They are
just shade too revolutionary for the present
state of affairs in England So the Times and
other liberal organs pitch into Mr.. Bright's
ideas of q new revolution rather severely.
The advocacy of these extreme ideas by John
Bright is probably intended to outbid Disraeli
for popular favor but it is quite as likely that
Disraeli, who is not controlled by many con-
scientious scruples, may outbid Bright after

Heis not likely to be outwitted by the dcma-

pretty clear, however, that the liberal organs
are getting afraid Of Bright and his ultra-pro-
gressive policy, as announced in his speeches
at Edinburg and other places, and that they
are disposed to put the curb on his rather ram
pant career

Senator sherman Our Political and
Financial Situation.
Our special correspondence from the home
of Senator Sherman, of Ohio, which we pub
lished yesterday, presents in q concise manner
the views Of one of the most eminent states
men OF the country on our political and
financial situation. Mr.. Sherman had no fear
or mental reservation in expressing himself
freely to our correspondent, but spoke frankly
and a. if the people had right to know,
through the press, what his opinions are. He
had mo reasons to be reticent, no opinions on
public matters that might not be printed"
With regard to political matters he is hopeful.
He considers the election Of General Grant
will settle forever the reconstruction question,
and 10 that view of the case he is Gin favor of
the utmost liberality towards the South, would
relieve it Of all forms of disability, provided
only it gives protection to the people within
its limits" He regards the subject Of the
national finances as the most important of
all in the immediate future. Upon the
question Of specie payments he takes
contraction nor expansion. He thinks that if
our finances be put upon a sound basis and
the government properly and economically ad-
ministered we shall grow up to specie pay
ments naturally and without any shock or re-
vulsion. This is sound doctrine, and it is
gratifying to know that . man of Mr.. Sher-
mans position and influence has arrived at
that in spite of the crazy resumption clamors
of many OF his party. Speaking Of taxation,
he said he would make it touch exclusively, if
possible, imported articles and Injuries, and
would have surplus revenue to apply to the
extinguishment of the national debt. He likes
his own funding bill and thinks the substitute
passed by both houses of Congress twas a
humbug-a bridge to get over the election"
One very important question-that of placing
the railroads under government control-came
up, and he INCREASINGLY expressed the opinion
that Congress has ''the power to regulate rail-
road lines above all State power" He con-
siders it clear that this power is derived from
the clause of the constitution authorizing Con-
gress to regulate commerce among the several
States. Mr.. Sherman is right, and we hope
he will introduce comprehensive measure to
regulate the railroads and put an end to the
monopolies and corruptions that now exist. On
the whole, Mr.. Sherman's views on public af-
fairs are those Of statesman and indicate
better state ofthings, politically and dna ncialy,
in the future.

Systems.

Congress and Oar Railway aad Telegraph
Systems.
AT the blind pace at which we are advancing
in our railway and telegraph management not
one cent of the vast amount invested in these
great public works is safe for moment. 1t
has been proven to US by the great swindling
operations in Erie that the managers of any
as the market will bear it and go unwhipped
of Justice The judges disagree upon the legal
questions brought before them, and in no court
at present existing is it found possible to force
just administration of property which
amounts to many millions of dollars. The
absolute necessity of the general Congress
taking the direction of all the railway and
telegraph companies is becoming more patent
every day. The idea of forty different States
debating forty systems of railway management
is like placing forty opposing forces at work
for harmonious object.
We have at length reached that point in our
national development when our railway and
telegraph systems have grown far beyond local
Importance, and now affect trade so distant,
unite States so wide apart and link interests SO
entirely national that the legislation referring
to them should not be trusted to local jeal-
ousies and the narrow ideas that generally
animate State legislation, but should go to the
consideration of Congress for the national
good. We do not propose the absorption of
the railways by the government, but we advo-
cate the necessity of code of laws for their
direction. There should be a railway bureau,
or perhaps another Cabinet officer, minister
whose duty it should be to superintend all our
great public works and watch that laws made
for their government be properly administered.
The evils of bad management in these colossal
companies have at length forced themselves
into such prominence that Congress can no
longer neglect to take notice of them and
shape some laws to their general benefit. 1t is
the first step towards a restoration of a
healthy financial condition to the country.
