ERIE ONCE MORE.

The combat deepens in thc great Erie war,
and the legal complications are becoming as
unintelligible as the moro INSCRIPTIONS opera
tions of Gould and Fisk Judge Murray grants
q sweeping injunction, putting the leading
gamblers of the Erie ring out of power {;
Judge Balloon bristles up and annuls his
brother Judges injunction, or tries to, and
Judge Barnard very naturally goes the same
way. No attempt is made to answer the for
midabe charges brought before Judge Murray,
nor is there any intention to do so. Gould and
Fisk want time, and so, instead of pleading
fairly to the charges, they get INSCRIPTIONS
Judges to make counter orders, and keep right
on, as if all suits were farce.
But public opinion begins to have some eff
feet, and Judge Balloon is clearly ashamed of
his part in the matter. His supple.
mentary order. correcting that of the 9th, is n
too tardy effort to recover his old position. He
now says: "Let all proceedings on the part of
"the plaintiff in this action, including all pro-
"ceedngs before Philo Il. Ruggles, esq, as
"referee, be stayed, until the defendants can
make motion in the proper county to have
"the injunction and orders granted by Justice
MURRAY set aside and vacated, said stay not
"to exceed twenty days. But this order shall
"not prevent the service upon any of the de-
PENDANTS of the summons and complaint, in
junction and orders, granted by Justice Muir
cray in the action prior to the 24th inst"
This is well as far as it goes, and shows that
Judge Balloon is conscious of his grave mis-
take in trying to annul an order granted by a
Judge who is in all respects his equal. He will
not interfere to protect Fisk and Gould from
service of process. But they are very care
fully protecting themselves by hiding from
public view and keeping body-guards around
their doors, They defy the law, and snap their
fingers at the idea that they can be brought
to Justice. For the sake of SO much as we
have left of law and justice, we hope that
Judge Murray will enforce his orders, and show
these gamblers that there are judges they can
not purchase and courts they cannot trample
upon.
Their object doubtless is to evade action II
possible until the Legislature meets, when they
can get through some special enactment to
whitewash their gambling operations, and get
their necks out of the legal moose. In the
meantime their operations are unrestricted, ana
no one can tell what further watering the
dreadfully diluted Erie stock may yet be under
going. 1t is useless to seek for information;
they give none that does not suit them, and no
one believes what they do give.

Hopes of compromise in the issue between
the Sultan and Viceroy are made doubtful by
the threat that Mustapha FAIL, the disinherited
and intriguing brother of Ismael Pasha, will
be pat in his place unless he complies with the
demands of the Porte Add to this difficulty the
announcement that one hundred and fifty OF his
sheiks have declared against the financial OPP
pressiOns of the ViceToy. Should the late en-
tertainments to his tribes and the flow OF water
and of soul at Suez, have proved else than an
oblivious washing away of these wrongs, the
Pasha cannot be accounted happy man.

The manifesto of the Left contains an indig-
nant promise to present an Interpolation touch
ing the unjusthabo delay in the cOnvocation
of the Legislative Body, and certain disorders
in Paris and the provinces, in which, it is as
serted, the French Government is not guiltless'
But above and beyond this, its complaints are
mainly those of Prince Napoleon. They are, in
brief that the electoral circumscrptions are
badly carved out, that independent elective
municipalities are indispensable to the fairness
of elections, and that imperial functiona-
RIGS ought not to be shielded against legal
process The abolition of caution money and
stamp duty the freedom of printing and book
selling, and the reGstablislment of the juris-
"diction of the jury" are earnestly called for,
along with revision of the law of public
meetings The reported desire of Napoleon to
give utterance to the most liberal affirmation of
liberty in his speech to the Chambers would be
an excellent one if he contemplated satisfac-
tory answer to these demands.

The Assistant Aldermen met on Saturday. OF
course the taxpayers were feeced for that
was the purpose of the gathering. In this
instance they took only $4,000; but left a
chance to make it more if convenient. They
met solely to put through the dead-animal
contract for the Long Island Bone Com
pauy, otherwise known as the New
York Rendering Company. This dOuble-headed
leech has been getting $4,000 year for re-
moving dead animals from the city; but it
wanted more. All it had to do was to appro-
pirate fifteen or twenty per cent OF the
increase for Contingencies" and the job
went through with but one dissent
ing voice-that of Mr.. Roberts, who de-
nounced the thing as an outrageous
swindle. The consprators heard him, laughed
in their sleeves, and voted solid for the rob
berry. The fat-boilers will be decidedly un-
grateful if they do not put at least twenty
thousand dollars into the coming charter cleo
ton to return the men who have so oblgingly
stolen an extra $4,000 a year for them. If
they do not, we shall be compelled to doubt
the old maxim that there is "hOnOr among

do not mean to say anything further than 10
demand careful and impartial investigation
of the charges and the defense. But we must
remark, in general terms, that we have surely
had enough revelations on this subject, within
the past few months. to justify US in the demand
for refusal Of the law relating to the incarcer-
alton of persons charged with insanity. Under
the present law, any party can send q victim
to the mad-house by procuring the order of
Judge for his examination and the certificate OF
two doctors to the effect that he is of unsound
mind If all Judges" were men of character
and all doctors" men of conscience and
science there would be less cause of COM
plant about this law, though, even then,
there would be abundant ground Of
complaint. But to those who know what sort
of persons some of our New York Judges"
and doctors are, there is something alarming
in the prospect of their decision when inter
ested parties are ready to spend money to get
a victim out of the way. We hold that q man
or woman charged with insanity has at least
as much right to procure an impartial invesG-
CATION of the charge as q man or woman
charged with crime. We hold that there should
be a commission of lunacy for the examination
of persons alleged to be insane. We maintain
that it is absolutely necessary that there should
be some effective change in a law w which
helpless persons may becomsc the victims OF q
conspiracy; and i has certainly been proved
to the satisfaction of every one who has read
the testimony in the recent trials under our
lunacy laws, that numbers of our citizens have.
under these laws, been the victims of conspir-
acies. We trust this subject will be brought
before the Legislature at its coming session, aud
that a revisal of the present laws will be
secured

BONDS as INVESTMENTS.

Some weeks ago. we advised holders of U
S. bonds, especially FiveTwenties to sell
them and invest the proceeds in the best
current Railroad and other mortgage securities
We gave this advice because we believed tho
nominal or Greenback value Of Government
bonds must decline with the premium on Gold,
even though their real or Gold value might be
enhanced Those who have since watched the
course OF the money market can now judge
whether our advice was or was not judciOus
We reiterate it,
Many fail to comprehend that the Five
Twenties are nearly all past due, so that the
Treasury has n perfect right to pay them off
mt par, and riU do so whenever it can borrow
the means at q lower rate of interest. Hence
these bonds will, after the Resumption of Spe-
clio Payments. be worth no moro than par, and
they who now sell them at good premium
and invest the proceeds in iirst-rate securities
will make money by 80 doing
And we believe most if not all of the Rail
road Loans now advertised in our columns are
well secured and morally certain to be paid,
principal and interest according to the face of
the bonds. In every case where there is a
good stock subscription or q large subsidy
behind the bonds, this can only fail through the
rascality of the directors. Several of these loans
have already been favorably mentioned by us,
and We will now speak of another. 1.-THE ST..
"Joseph and Denver City Railroad" is already
in part built from Elwood (across the Mis-
souri, from st. Joseph to Fort Kearney, where
it intersects the "UniOn Pacific" on which its
business reaches Denver and the Pacific slope.
The whole length of the Road is thus but III
miles, whereof a good part is already COM
pleted, and it has grant of 100000 acres of
the excellent land which it traverses, which
ought to DO worth at, least 100000. The
directors now offer first and only loan Of
$1,5OOOO0, payable in New York thirty years
from Aug. 1, 1869, secured by first
and only mortgage on the Road, and
drawing eight per cent. (gold) interest
free of tax. The mortgage will amount
to but $l3,5O0 per mile, and is secured by n
mortgage trust-deed to the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company as trustees This seems to us
an ample and unexceptionable security; while
the Road-cOnnecting at this end with the
Hannibal and st. Joseph, running due east and
with the ST. Louis and st. Joseph, running
southeast, and at the other end with the great
Union Pacific and running through fertile,
inviting region fast settling with u thrifty pop
ulation-capnQt fail " DO good business

We felt quite ashamed of New York, so far
as manners are concerned, on reading of the
way in which Pere Hyacinthe has been per-
mitted to cOmpOrt himself in Boston. We do
not suppose our Boston correspondent intended
any reflection on the various orders Of bores
in this city when lie proceeded to declare, in
the most disingenuous manner, that no bore
had intruded upon the Pere's privacy in Boston.
that no reporter had attempted to interview
him, that he had not been followed through
the streets by people, either sngly or in crowds
but that, on the contrary, he had been per-
mtted to enjoy time of recreation aud self
possession in Boston. We hate to admit that
Boston knows better how to behave itself than
New-York it is hard TO admit that New York
could learn anything of Boston. We know
that New-York is a bigger place than Bostoni
we know that Boston is a duller place than
New-York But we fear that, after ALL Father
Hyacinthe will consider Boston better place
than New-York for the enjoyment of those
few rights which no law or custom can ever
be justified in denying gentleman.

A large section of the Midland Railroad,
(from Oswego to Norwich, a distance OF lO6
mies,) has just been opened for business. 1t is
a worthy specimen of New-YOrk enterprise,
having been built in q comparatively bret
space of time, yet in the most substantial man
ner. The track is remarkably free from steep
grades and curves, there being in one stretch
of 21 miles but three variations from a straight
line. The rolling stock is coming in rapidly,
and the company will soon be ready to do all
the business that offers. The Midland will be
one of the favorite routes for travellers, not
only for its directness, but for the beautiful
mountain, lake, and river scenery which 1t
nnnns IN.

The growing about the irregularity of the
mails at the West is so persistenty kept up
that. prone as human nature is to fault-finding.
we think that in this matter, there must pc
good ground for it. The CIarksrille (NlO0 Sen
tinel AYERS that nobody in that town can be
certain of receiving letter ENABLED in st. Louis
until the epistle "has been round by Chicago,
New York, or New-0rleans." The Sentinel
adds: "If Post Office clerks in st. Louis can
"not find time to attend to their business, they
"shouli be removed and those put in their
"places who can" Well, that would seem at
first blush to be about the most effective solu-
ton of the problem; but then this getting out
those who cant" and getting in those who
"can,n Is not such an easy matter as the en-
thusiastic Sentinel seems TO suppose.

Investigating Committees sometimes return
curously guarded vcrdcts. Thus, at Saginaw
Mich, one of the public school teachers, having
unduly and inordinately chastiSed pupil. the
Board of Education appointed Committee to
investigate the fagellation. These wiseacres
in time, and after much cogitation and the taking
of a great deal of testimony, did finally report
"that the punishment was not actuated by
"malice, but was occasipned 10y an undue APP
"precation of the thickness of the boys panta-
"loons." This was certainly leaning to the side
of mercy, as to the teacher, but we should Ike
to know what the boy thought about it. Here
after, before fogging, the castigator should
carefully ascertain the density OF the outside
