CORRUPTION At ALRANY.

Whether Mr. Glenn is crazy, or knavish, or
only silly, we do not el.certain; but he GER
taiply acts bad figure in the proceedings
which he initiated by his bold, broad charges.
He had no moral right to refuse to appear
before such a Committee Of Investigation as
the Assembly saw fit to create. If that Com
mttce is composed, wholly or mainly, Of cor
rupt villains he should have gone before 1t
and stated all he knew that was to the pur-
pose-stated so that the Press and the People
should be sure to get hold of the facts That
point secured, it matters very little what the
Committee or the Assembly should see hit to
do Certainly lNlr. Glenn is either the most
wrong headed or the worst advised man that
ever lived.
We infer that all investigation in the Assem-
bly, has blown 0ver-that nothing but white
wash is to be administered to the villains who
have been betraying their trust and disgracing
the State on the floor of that body. How is 1t
with the SenateP Is Corruption to stalk unre-
buked there alsoY Are there not enough hon
est men on its floor to insist on some proceed
ing which shall show the people just who are
the rotten' Can Senator Folger really mean
to scout investigation as needless Does he
Senators have sold their votes in the Drew
Vanderbilt quarrel-some OF them more than
Oncef Can he not lay his hand at once on the
Senator who is currently reported to have sold

$4,000. then to the other for 100000, insisting
that he must have 81 900 extra for his son
Is no not morally certain that more than
100000 has been paid to influence coruptly
the action of Senators in tho premisesP What
can he mean, then, by opposing investigation
IL nothing serious ID to be done to expose
the unparalleled venality and shamelessness or
this Legislature. We entreat Gov Fenton to
reto erery corrupt measure that may be sent him
for approval. No matter what may be the in.
trinsic merits or dement's of the bill, the naked
fact that it has been passed by the use OF
money should insure a veto. Gov. Fenton has
been nobly sustained and trusted by the peo-
Pile they Justly look TO him to scourge the
money changers from the halls sacred to JUS
tice, purity aud benefcence. No matter what
bills may be passed by corrupt appliances, we
urge that they be promptly vetoed and the
true reason therefor given to the public. The
atmosphere of the Capital is mephitic and pes
tilential. Let us sec what few thunder-claps,
may do toward purifying it,

UNDERGROUND RAILROADS..

The riyaIshp Of hostile companies, and the
opposition Of few rich men, threaten to de-
prive us, for the present, OF the one thing
which next To an honest government our city
most sorely needs we mean m underground
railway. This IL emphatically want of the
people 1t will confer inoalculable benefit upon
the masses, the workingmen who cannot afford
either to pay for comfortable homes in the
heart OF the city, or to live' in remote places
which il uceds an hour OF two OF their precious
time to reach. These are the people who
clamnr fnnst loudly for underground road
as tho only means by which quick and sure
communication can be established between the
city and the rural districts. These are the
people who will be most injured if such pro-
jects are defeated and these are the people
whose wants and interests our legislators are
bound especially to consider. We can under
stand why this road or that road may be OBJ
noxious TO this or to that citizen. One man
fears that his front door may be obstructed
while the road is building. Another trembles
for the safety Of his cellar. Anothers back
yard may be pierced. A fourth is afraid Of
smoke and fifth breads taxes. SO Albany is
filed with paid lobby-agcnts, and handful of
millonaircs bid fair TO defeat the wishes of
the great mas. Of tho people.
For ourselves, 40 caro- not 4 rush what plan
may be adopted, but an underground railway
of some sort we do most earnestly insist that
Hew-York shall have. Perhaps it will be bost
to authorize all the schemes now before the
Legislature, and then let capital, whose sagacity
rarely goes astray, decide which il the best.
