For ourselves, we feel rather disposed to

TIE ROAD TO THE NORTH POLE.

We have before us q copy of an address
delivered recently in st. Louis by Mr.. Silas
Bent on "The Thermometrc Gateways to the
"Polen Apart from the scientific interest
which attaches to tho solution of any great
geographical problem, the question of how to
reach the Open Polar Sea has a particular
attraction just now, when new exploring ex-
petition is fitting out in Germany. Mr.. Bent
is an ex-oflicer of the United States Navy. He
has devoted great deal of attention to the
study of ocean currents, and has arrived at the
conclusion that the only means of penetrating
the Polar Sea is by following ono or another
of these great natural pathways. We have not
space to explain his theory at length, nor to
point out how far it has been verified by
actual experience it will be enough to say that
he makes out very strong case. The existence
of great equatorial ocean currents in both hem-
spheres is well-established fact. These cur
rents have constant direction westward.
Meeting the continents which lie across their
path, and changed in their specific gravity by
the heat of the sun, they send off warm streams
to the North and South-two in the Northern
hemisphere, and probably three in the Southern.
The latterwe need not here consider. The form
er are the Gulf Stream, which sets in north
easterly direction from the Gulf of Mexico
along tho coast of the North American Conti-
nent, but at some distance from the land; and
the Kuro-Siwo, or Japan current of the Pacific
which follows an almost precisely similar
course along the eastern shore of the Conti-
nent of Asia. Portions of both these currents
are DETECTED from the trunk, and washing the
western shores of Europe and America, give
to the countries which they touch tempera
ture much warmer than that Of correspond.
ing latitudes on the Eastern coasts. 1t is n
curious fact however, that while the warm
current parts with its heat readily whenever it
comes into contact with land, 1t does not mod
ify the temperature of the adjoining waters,
but flows on, isolated, so to speak, by the
colder ocean around it. The Japan current
finds Its way toward tho Pole by the way of
Behring's Strait; the Gulf Stream reaches the

VATCH THE TAX LEVIES.

How much is Republican Legislature going
to vote out the public treasury for the support
of the corrupt party that rules and plumbers
this city, and for its use at the next election
Two answers arc given elsewhere IN our col
umns this morning; between them the Leglsla-
ture is to choose next week, or to make an
answer of its own.
The Committee has only cut down our City
and County Tax Levies a tri6e over one million
dollars. The Citizens Association show how
they may be fairly cut down over two and
half millions. We believe the legitimate ex-
penses can all be paid with the sums estl-
mated by the Citizens Association, and
that the extra million and half al
lowed by tic Committee is only n
concession Of that amount to the thieves OF
the Ring. Shall it be given to themf That
is the question, and the sole question, for
gentlemen in the Legislature to answer when
they come to vote on these Tax Leyies. We
beg them to remember that they are response
bic for every dollar which they authorize to
be raised for extrayagaRt or needless purposes
responsible not merely for the original rob-
berry OF the taxpayers involved, but for the
contribution of this money to strengthen
an organization conducted to perpetuate the
robbery.
This question comes up in the Assembly
next Tuesday We have in that body n
majority of twcnty-four. Gentlemen of the
majority! the people know that you un-
dersand the villainy Of these tax leyies, and
can prevent it if you will. We give you fair
notice that we shall hold every man of you to
n strict account for your voto on every item.
We are going to sec whether the plunder of
the City is to go on, and whether Republican
Legislature will openly pander to the shame
less Ring. If you do, your constituents shall

The bill prohibiting non-resdents from leas
ing stalls in the New-York markets. which the
Democrats have pushed through the Assembly,
has the appearance of a bold black-mailinS
operation. A resident of New Jersey has
perfect right to carry on business in New
York; and it is certainly for our interest to
attract commerce from every side. great
many of our market-dealers come from the
neighboring State, where market-gardens
abound. They pay us taxes on their business
operations, and do great deal to increase our
wealth and cheaper the cost of provisions. II
we adopt the exclusive policy, which even
China has abandoned, We shall, of course,
throw the market business into the hands OF
monopoly, increase the expenses of living, and
diminish the revenues of the city. The next
step-and just as reasonable and legal one
as this-would be to prohibit Jerseymen
from doing business in Broadway or Wall-st.
Or, to simplify the matter, why should not
the Legislature enact at once that no man who
does business in New-York shall live anywhere
except on Manhattan IslandY In point of fact,
we doubt whether the cOncOctors of this Mar
ket Bill expect or wish it to become law. 1t
strikes at very valuable business, and great
deal of money can be made by bleeding the
victims. The Senate had better stop this bit
of rascalty by throwing out the bill.

Mr.. Perry Fuller comes once more to the sur
face. He and his cO-laborer in the Lobby, Gen.
Thomas Ewing, jr., have quarreled; and, as Of
old, when people of certain class fall out
the cause of honesty is a gamer. Mr.. Fuller
had a refreshing interest in Louisiana Levee
Bonds. He was likewise hopefully concerned
about his successor, and thought he could
make a good arrangement for staying
down in New Orleans. He wanted his friend
to "get in" sundry good things; and affection
ately demonstrated with him for missing
sundry other good things; neglect of oppor-
tunties which to the excellent Perry seemed
almost like flying in the face of Providence
There is an unctuous richness about the whole
letter which makes it eminently worthy of our
first lOhhyist.

interests affected to combine their forces,
there will be the greatest danger of solid

VIM. Henry Wadsworth, nominated yester-
day to be Commissioner under the treaty with
Mexico is doubtless the ex-Congressman of
that name from the Maysville Ky.) District.
Col. Wadsworth is one of the few Kentuck-
ians able to find ont what the war meant, or
that it accomplished something; and his
efforts on the stump for Gen. Grant were of
signal value. Besides this, we have long
list of other nominations, including Third
Assistant Postmaster General Consuls, Internal
Revenue officers, and one or two more gentle
men of high claims to the important office of

THE SEASON-THE WEATHER.

While we have reports of frosts at the South
whereby the blades of the cotton-plant, just
peeping from the ground, have suffered
severely, we are blessed with the best of
weather. at the North. The temperature Is
colder than is usual at this season; for there
is still very much snow, especially IN the
woods and on our hills and higher table
lands; but this succession of frosty nights and
sunny days is exactly what was needed to
insure very large yield of Maple
Sugar, now particularly desirable because
of the high price of Cane Sugar based on the
Cuban Revolution. The air is still keen, even
by day, which keeps back the buds and goes
far to insure that good yield of Fruit which
we have awaited for years. Such days are
favorable to Spring work and we cherish san
guine hopes that 1869 is destined to prove n
year of signal productiveness. or course, there
is time yet for all manner of blights and dis
astcrs but the omens are thus far propitious.
New-York tribune., 1869-04-17
THE DUTIES or SPRING.

Farmers and others who are connected with
the industries of the months now before us,
and which from the earliest days have been
periods of activity and of hope, will do well
carefully TO consider all their plans, that fail
urcs may be avoided, at least so far as human
wisdom has the power of ayeTting. In every
undertaking so many ways are presented in
which any act can be performed, and new
conditions so tend TO make tho number still
greater, that the mind is often perplexed and
unable to decide with promptness and satsfac
ton. 1t is true that this embarrassment is less
where long experience has given expertness,
and where the duties of the season proceed
with the regularity of mechanism; still, it
will be discovered that influences are at work
to disturb, moro or less, that which was sup
posed fixed and in such cases it has been
found that even n slight original modification
exercises marked influence upon subsequent
operations. The truth is, all the affairs of this
world are as nuctuating as the reflection of
sunbeams on tho shaded stream, and generally
the best efforts will be rewarded rs much from
the sum of the general average of productions
as from the gifted foresight. But tho greatest
advantage to be derived from foresight and
from caution are to bo experienced in the
building of o mans general character and
while he reaps tho products of fields, or re-
ceiyes the rewards of mechanical industry, he
lays up within himself other fruits of no less
value
TO study in detail all that relates TO ones
fields, or daily occupation, whatever it may be,
will be as much duty as pleasure; and to
the farmer the unfolding of leaves and BIOS
humninO Of tho eli g
birds and the general awakening of nature to
the delightful influences of Spring, should be
met by corresponding outgrowth and actv-
ity in him who, rs we are told, was created
little lower than the angels. The wise mana
ger will consider, by such light as tho age af-
fords, and he will be unfortunate, or TO be
blamed, If he has neglected to seek it, whether
the fertility Of his fields is more than sufficient
to produce moderate crops in favorable seasons:
whether other and better implements, by which
labor can be saved, are not required; whether
the stock of animals on hand should not be
exchanged, or improved; whether household
conveniences arc such as tighten care, and
whether the members Of tho family are pron-
erly instructed, their wants understood and
their morals guarded; in short, such duties be-
longing to the farmer, and to the father of n
family, arc many and of constant recurrence,
and they may be said to correspond, though in
less degree, to the benefcent oversight of
the Providence which considers the nations of
mankind in various stages of progress.
human being can exercise no higher quality
than in careful survey Of the objects subject
to his control, and to be shaped to ends from
which happiness is to be derived The Ameri-

Whisky men hereabouts are in trouble. The
New-York dealers think more money is needed
to secure the amendment to death of the Excise
law; the Brooklyn dealers refuse to respond
with their share of the required contribu-
tions; the new Internal Revenue appointments
frighten the Ring; and finally, the Commits
sioner comes in with an order about collecting
the tax on spirits in Class A and b warehouses
that seems to them nothing but barefaced per-
secution. They must not despond so soon.
