like them, to keep off the highways. 1t would
also send them burrowing under ground, or
build them up in the air; successful examples
of both which are to be found In
London. the city typical Of New-York, When
New-York becomes the antitype of London
when she has taken away from her the settling
of the exchanges of the world, as she is bound
to-when she, instead of London, is the lead
ing commercial city of the two hemispheres-
then we shall have dozen steam railways
through her. and bridges uniting her to BROOK
Iyn, to Astoria, and other places. Let us hasten
the former period by getting our steam railways
started here. Let the Legislature strip these
charters free from all interest on the part OF
lobbyists, by requiring the stock subscriptions
to be thrown open to the public, and the very
first Board Of Directors to be elected by the
shareholders; and then citizens with the requl-
site enterprise, skill and capital, will be forth
coming to build them.

The North Pole expeditions which were sent
out last year from Germany and Sweden were
not as successful as their orginators had hoped,
but they gave new impulse to the interest
taken in the exploration of the Arctic regions.
From Germany, whaler has just been sent
out, at the sole expense of a wealthy citizen Of
Bremerhaven, which, after remaining during
the fishing season off the Island of Jan Mayen,
is, about the end of June, TO proceed on yoy-
age of discovery northward along the eastern
coast of Greenland. The steamer now sent out
is to be the precursor of a second larger expe-
dition to the North Pole, which is being
organized by Herr Koldowcy, tho leader Of last
wears expedition.
New-York tribune., 1869-03-11

The fact that the Irish emigration to this
country has gone largely to swell the over
crowded cities, instead of diffusing itself
throughout the purely agricultural regions OF
the far West like that from Germany, Nor
way and Sweden, has long been regarded as
ON unfortunate one at once for the emigrants
and for the country. We are glad, therefore,
to welcome the movement of the st. Patrick
Society of Chicago for an organized effort to
direct newly arrived Irish emigrants to cheap
homes and fresh lands in the West.
They propose to themselves no attempts to IN
duce emigration, but merely arrangements for
giving needful information and advice to the
emigrant on his arrival, avoiding partisanship OF
any particular section, but striving to direct
emigrants out of the cities to labor, land, and
homes. Rightly managed, an organization Tor
these ends might do q beneflcent work for tho

We are anxious to know if the Government
has paid our intrepid and indefatigable Col
lectOr Bailey for the employment of counsel to
proUecthim against the peTjurers and thieves who
have been upon his track. He hired necessary
counsel by order of Mr.. Rollins, and Rollins
should not go out of Office without seeing that
Bailey is paid cash down. 1t is n good deal
more important that an indomitable and fear
less tax collector like Bailey should be paid
than that a poor "dead duck" like Buckley
should be killed second time. ROllins's attack
upon Binckley was vengeance. If he will see
that Bailey is reimbursed We shall credit him
with generosity. The sum that Mr.. Bailey spent
was at least five thousand dollars, which is
probably the best part of his salary as collector
How can we expect to have the revenues col
lected If our most vigiant officers are called
upon to spend all their salary in lawyers fees 2
How can they live1 We arc glad that Mr..
Bailey has brought this matter before the public.
we think Mr.. Rollins might also have called
the attention of President Grant to the danger
in which Mr.. Courtney's life has been placed
by the assassns of the whisky Ring" 1t

lying In wait 10 cut his throat with razor.

The early adjournment Of the Senate yestcr-
day is said to be the only reason why we have
not now to announce the appointment Of Geo.
S. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, as Secretary Of
the Treasury. The reports that reach
us from Washington all seem to
concur in representing Gov Boutwell,
as substantially chosen. The friends, however
of Gov Morgan, Mr.. GriswOld, and others from
this State are said to DO still cherishing some
hope and Mr. A. Il. Stewart is reported rs
urging the name of John E. Williams, tho
President of the Metropolitan Bank. Meanwhile
Mr. Z. B. WaShburne, who took the Secretary
ship of State with the greatest reluctance, now
insists on being Immediately relieved has sent
in his resignation, and has given notice to Of
fice-seekers that he will make no appointments
whatever, while awaiting his successors ARRIVAL

morrow. Judge Hoar has taken the oath Of

THE DRAMA.
EEW-YORK THEATRR.


The New York Theater, which has been closed
for some time reopened last evening. Al English
version OF German drama called "Hinko or King and
ExeeutiOner" performed. In the original the piece
has acquired popularity It tells the story of an adVen
turous diSnhered YOUTH whO to escape the penalty Of
violating law, becomes headsman, under the control
OF tie public execuoner and thereafter passes through
divers adventures till at last hc is renstated in his patr
mony The scene laid in Bohemia, in 1885, The pieos
Is comprised in six acts and is written in prose. The
acts are sufficiently long, and the prose is sufficiently
tedious Prof j. E. FrObsher, who made the translation
that performed last evening, has copious Vocabl
larry, and has used ik without stint. The text OF
"Hlnko" might be measured by the yard es
weighed by the pound. Twenty-Five lperi2rm-
ers participated In the representation. Such
names occurred as schppenberg standhemcr ErlbergF
and Tobst wcaze King Of Hungary, also emerged Ths
general performance weak and silly as TO excite
comiseration. The principal part, Hnko was played
by Mr.. Henry Moesinger young German actor, Who
made his debut In English Mr. Moesinger is tall, thin
young gentleman. with an aquiline face OF sena'
mental cast and long hair. He occupied most OF the
time IN falling the floor and gettins up again When
ever he fell he tumbed in sections and seemed 10 shus
up like spy-glass Mr. Moesinger may possess great
talent but he certainly did not show His delivery was
constrained and unpleasant His beating lacked dignity
and grace His gestures were awkward Hespoke the ka
glish languageand occasionally sung itwith consider
erable accuracy The audience, composed apparently
Mr Moeslngers personal friends, aprauded him on sn
occasions and should judge, would have been equaU
enthusiastic IL he had stood upon his tead Public intel
lgence at times deeply impressive. One performance
that Of Mr. j. B. studey redeemed the wrotched baTreo'

The changes in the Army and Navy, present
and prospective, give abundant indications Of
the new blood in the old veins. Gen. Howard
asks TO be relieved from the remaining duty of
the Freedmens Bureau, requesting that COL
Edward Hatch now Assistant Commissioner
in Louisiana, may be appointed to his
place to finish the work. AS soon
as he has given such information and assist
ance as his successor may need, he is to
be ordered to the Plains, under Hancock
Gen. Halleck is to be gently displaced by the
assignment of Gen. Schofeld to the command
on the Pacific coast and may then be ex-
pected TO resign his commission In the army,
to attend to the business which has long
engrossed him. Admiral Porter is established
at Secretary Bore's right hand in the
Navy Department and as the first fruits of his
presence we have the order settling an old
dispute by providing that commanding and
executive officers shall always take precedence
of all staff officers. Mr.. BOrie has made the
discovery that Mr.. Welles was not the only
fossil in the Department, and several first-class
specimens are to be speedily sent after their
late worthy chief
