If the great Railroad Corporations of our
State have purchased her present Legislature
and are running it in their own interest, as IS
plausibly affirmed, we insist that they shall
evince discretion if not moderation. A dispatch
to The Times says:
"The Harlem Depot bill proposes to turn over to Com
odOre Vanderbilt all the property lying between Fourth
and Fifth-aves and FortysecOnd and Forty hfth-sts
thus blocking up Forty third and Forty-fourth-sts
Not having seen the bill in question, we
must presume the above a misrepresentation of
its purport. If not, the bill cannot be worth
the paper on which it is printed. The prop
erty here indicated is partly public, partly pri-
vate In so far as it is private, whoever wants
it can buy it of Ithe owners without the aid OF
statute; in so far as it is public, it cannot be
given away by the Legislature to moneyed
corporation. No public necessity requires the
shutting up of two streets in what is rapidly
becoming the best part of our City; and the
Harlem Railroad can find ample room for de-
pots without confscating our streets. We are
confident that the above is a misstatement; !;
| but what need of any legislation on the subject

Ninety thousand dollars for lighting, clean
ing, and supplies for county offices! Well, let
us see how much of this is really needed for
the purposes named and how much for the
Tammany Corruption Fund. Cleaning means
sweeping out and dusting the rooms. There
are As persons employed in this work and only
90 rooms to be swept. 1t is all done after
Office hours, and occupies but very little while;
$4,000 year would be a large sum to pay for
it. Lighting in 1867 cost $1,77S; there is no
reason in the world why it should cost any
moro now. For fuel some of the heads OF
offices make estimates and others do not. Tax
ing the former at their own figures and guessing
at the rest as well as we can, we set down Tor
fuel S4,350-and that is allowing liberal mar
gin. Furniture and repairs call for $4,000
other supplies for s2,5OO Total amount needed,
s15S23; total amount asked, 100000; difference
for the Tammany fund, $74,177. Almost too
much.

ment of the whole People. Virginia is certainly
q less turbulent, more law-abiding community
than Arkansas, where Gov. Clayton has con-
ouered peace with no other force than his
volunteer militia, first organized for this pur-
nose, and where life, liberty, and property are
now safer than ever before-which is not say
ing great deal. We defy any one to give
reason for denying self-government to Vir-
ginia which would not be stronger if applied
to Arkansas.
"Let us have peace" Military rule is at
best but ali armed truce. 1t costs money, and
does not educate its ss2hiects to respect justice
more than force -Four years have now passed
since the surrender of Appomattox; and he
who dictated the terms of Lees capitulation,
declares that the time has fully come for re-
storing Virginia to self-government and all its
natural incidents. The country cordially, JOY
fully responds to the President will Congress
demur2 To do so will be to abdicate the
proud position it has hitherto maintained-to
fall to the rear of the grand movement Tor
Universal Liberty and National Integrity. we
pray that no adjournment may be had until
Virginia, Mississippi, and even Texas, snail
have been enabled and invited to resume,
under fit conditions and with needful guaran-
ties, the proud position they so madly abJured
of States, and the peers of all other ota'es'
in the American Union.
New-York tribune., 1869-04-09

We infer, from the tenor of sundry out
gvings from Washington, as well as from the
manifold difficulties which the near approach
of the adjournment imposes. that the amend
ments to the National Banking bill are pretty
certain To fail. This can hardly be pro-
nounced matter for regret. The main
object of the bill appears to be to
withdraw few millions of circulation from
Eastern banks and transfer it to those at the
West and South. Perhaps the popular idea
may be that this will actually tend to make
currency plenter in those regions; but of
course the men who are pressing the bill know
better. They understand perfectly well that,
no matter where the bills may be issued,
currency, like water finds its own level, and
that the real and only effect of the change will
be to secure the profits on the issue of this
circulation for the capital engaged in banking
at the West and South, which refused to touch
the National Banking System until others
had made it q success, and to take these profits
away from the capital engaged in banking at
the East. We do not now argue that this
might not properly be done. We merely say
that this is not the end which many people
suppose themselves to be aiming at in asking
for the passage of this bill; and that its adj
vantages, instead of concerning the business Of
great sections of the country, are imeasurably
restricted to q narrow circle of bankers.

Look out for the Armory and Drill-Room
swindle in the City and County Tax Levies.
The Supervisors, under the general authority
of the Militia laws have expended in five
years nearly S1,5OO,OOO in fitting up palatlai
quarters for our Republican soldiery, and.stock-
ing them with chairs at $40 each. The arm
ories are now all supplied with furniture so
costly that it seems sin to sit down on it,
and the Legislature had better interfere. Not
more than $1,000 year will be required to
keep the premises in repair, and about
$4,000 will be called for to pay rent under
leases already made Soplease, gentlemen, put
Just $4,000 for armories and drill-rOoms into
the Tax Levy and forbid the expenditure Of
one cent more.
