Several Of the new Governors Of the

sition on the Secretary of War for arms

Congress to meet on the day to which
it had adjourned to take action in The

The recent riotous proceedings Of the

Second: So to excite the masses of people
" in this City who are opposed to them as 20
lead them into acts of disorder and violent
" resistance"
To such charges officially and distinctly made,
and with the averment that the proofs were ac-
cumulatlng, neither the National Government
nor the American people could be indifferent.
They involve the honor of the peoples own
officials; they are calculated to re-arouse and
intensity that hatred and distrust of the Ma
tlonal Government which it was the constant
aim of the Rebels and their abettors to create;
and we trust that while Mr.. Hoffman is enjoy
ing the leisure of private citizen, and
before he enters upon the Executive duties to
which the State Inspectors have declared him
to be appointed. the Congressional Committee
will afford him the fullest opportunity of prov
ing his charges, and submitting all the accumu-
lation of evidence on which he has thus boldly
arraigned the National Government and his fell
wcitizens.
We have reached point in our history where
the success of one party or the other however
grave the issues, is thing Of no moment COM
pared WIN the ISSUES LlllJ COHIIOHI uo Ah'oif-
ing the freedom of the franchise, the purity OF
the Judiciary and the liberties of the people.
The Union League Club in April, 1867, took
tho true ground when they plainly denounced
the legislative cOrruptiOns at Albany, and In
yoked for all legislators of whatever party then
offending against morality, the execration of the
people
They will have no word Of apology or de-
tense for any Republican who may have COM
mitted the crimes charged by Mr. Hoffman
and good citizens whatever their political or
religious creed. will unite in demanding that
this investigation be thorough, searching, and
absolutely impartial
If we have men in Office, national, State, or
municipal, who, instead of protecting our rights,
have betrayed them; il we have great corpora
tons chartered for the public good which have
engaged in fraudulent schemes to carry the
election if we have citizens of wealth and in
Auenee who have been priyy to the crime, and
convenient Judges upon the bench, who de-
serve to occupy fclon's cell, let tho truth be
known without compromise or concealment
and when the worst ia known, it will be for
the wisdom of the nation to devise remedy

cal decentralization which if unchecked, VIII

COIL.

The n. Y. Times wants foreign Coal ad-
mitted to our market free of duty; and we are
inclined to concur in the suggestion. Except
for revenue, we can perceive no reason for
taxing an article so bulky in proportion to its
value as Coal is, especially after its production
from our own mines has been so fully deyel-
oped as with US. Now as we have done on
former occasions, We urge Congress, IN re-
vising the Tariff, to make Coal free OF
duty, and thus silence a clamor which has
the slightest possible foundation. We be-
lievo Coal is usually cheaper in this City and
throughout our country than almost any other
article in general use; and we doubt that il
would be generally cheapened by taking OF
the duties. 1t bothers us to say how the Gov
crnment is to be supported and the National
credit maintained after The " orld has been
gratiied with "a free breakfast-table' and
The Times with free fuel to cook the br ak
fast but do let us stop this noise about taxing
the fuel of the poor!
Yet, if we are TO cooperate with The Times
in its crusade we must ask il to acquire some
knowledge of the matter in controversy, and
discuss it with some respect for the essential
facts. We could MT get on well with an ally
