The Pacific Railroads commenced carrying
emigrants to California for $40 from New-Yo
or S42 from Omaha on the 1st Of September !;
and the experiment has proved gratifying
success The number of emigrants has aver
aged 100 per day; they are carried in good
cars on the Express Freight train, and make
the trip in less than ten days. We predict
that next season will witness large increase
of business on this train.
By the way: we have seen the receipts of
the Union Pacific least endD for September up
to the cath, and they foot up S599,6S0; indi-
eating $750OO0 for the month. AS the running
expenses are but 100000 per month, we sub
nit that those who are so eager to force the
Company into bankruptcy have a difficult job
Oh hand, especially since it is selling its lands
at the rate of 100000 per month.

lions, and that since the Inauguration OF Presi-
dent Grant the reduction has been nearly
fifty-seven millions Of dollars. We submit that
this is unkind to our Democratic friends. The
"nigger" is no longer available; the great
debt and the necessarily heavy taxation are
their only capital, and by all their rules of logic
this debt should be rapidly increasing.
But the President has so improved
the collection of revenue, and so decreased
current expenses, that everything goes wrong;
the vast debt created by Democratic
Rebellion, and fostered as far rs possible by
Democratic knavery, is rapidly diminishing If
things are to go on in this way, what on earth
will The World do for something to howl abOutY
Fifty seven millions wiped out in seven months,
with the best possible disposition to keep
doing so! The World charges the late tornado
in Wall-st to the Republican party, and in its
vague generalization shows Tor tries toy that
we are all going to everlasting smash because
of the election Of Grant Now if Grant keeps
up this reduction of eight millions a month for
his four years. he will show decrease OF three
hundred and eighty -four millions, and bring
the rate of taxation down by fifty per cent.
We cOndole with our distressed neighbor, and
shall be happy to forward for his benefit any
suggestion on which substantial Democratic
howl can be made. Fiftyseven millions in
seven months! Too bad too bad!

WHO rs GEN. ROBINSONf

Speaking of the veteran soldier who was
nominated on the Republican ticket for State
Engineer and Surveyor, The Rochester Union
sneeringly says "Who Gen. John c. Robinson
"of Broome is, is a question" There can be
no question rs to the ignorance of that writer.
If he were acquainted with tho recent annals
of his country, he would know that at the be-
ginning of the Rebellion Gen. Robinson was
placed in command of Fort McIIenry. which
he protected from the proposed attacks of the
Rebels, and thus saved the City Of Baltimore
from falling completely into the power of The
Unions friends. The editor of that journal
may learn something more about Gen. Robin
son by reading the history of the Army of the
Potomac lie will hear of him as holding q
high command under the brave Gen. Kearney
ut the victory of Glendale; and if he will read
with care Gen. Kearney's report Of that famous
fight, he will find the following reference to
Gen. r.: 81 have reserved Gen. Robinson
{" for the last To him this day is due above
call others In his division the honors of the
"battle. The attack was made on his wing;
Everywhere present, by personal supervision
land noble example, he secured for us the
"honors of victory. Our loss has been severe
"and when it is remembered that this occurs
" to mere skeletons of regiments, there is but
cone observation to be made, that previous
"military history presents no parallel"
Reading further the history of those
times, he may hear Of Gen. Robinson at
Malvern Hill, Brstow Station, Chantilly,
Fredericksburg, Charlottesville, Gettysburg,
Mine Run, Mitchells Station, the Wilderness,
and Spottsylvania Court House. He may also
learn that in leading his troops against the in
trenchments Of Gen. Longstreet, when within
q hundred yards Of the Rebel line, he received
n musket-shot, which resulted in the loss OF
one of his legs He may likewise ascertain
that Gen. Robinson has had no less than five
horses shot under him in battle. Much more
might here be repeated about Gen. Robinsons
public and honored acts, such as his services
rs Judge-Advocate- General, Military Com
mander in tho South, and Commander OF tho
Department of the Lakes. But 1t would,
doubtless, lie all lost upon The Union. That
journal will never forgive Gen. Robinson for
the prominent part he took in disproving the
Democratic averment that tue War for the
Union was q failure.

The Montreal Daily WitneSS-a paper which
has heretofore advocated Confederation as
means for Great Britain "tO get rid OF her
North American provinces as speedily and
with as little loss of moral pres
tige as possible Customs
Union or complete reciprocity between
the United States and Canada. The features
of its plan are not entirely strange, and are
first the United States to reduce its tariff by
five per cent. on manufactured goods imported
from other countries than Canada; second,
Canada to conform to the United States
excise laws and to the tariff as modified
and restricted; third, an annual division oil
customs: altogether, Zollverein The reck-
oned advantages of this plan would be free
market for Canadian productions, notwlth-
standing Canadian farmers would have to pay
more for imported good. The obtaining OF
higher rate by Canada on Old World goods,
though losing import duties from the United
States, the loss to the free-trade principle by
the doubling of Canadian duties on European
goods, and its gain where only IT can be
tolerable, in continental reciprocity g is 1T quite
certain that a Zollverein could not be ar
"ranged to secure the assent of Great Britain "
asks The Witness. But would it so well in
that case secure the assent of the United
StatesP and would it not be easier for Canada
TO become independent In short, can per-
feet reciprocity be effected without independ-

Every now and then some fossil journal
which has come down to us from former
generation is moved to marvel that THE
TRlBUNE's news columns contain reports of
mems expressing opinions not in entire har-
mony with those upheld on the editorial page.
The latest instance we have observed was in an
exclamation of wonder, yesterday, that our
reports of the talk in Wallst should not have
suppressed what some bankers have said adj
verse to Secretary Boutwelrs course, because
we have editorially sustained it. In a score or
two of years such journals will probably dis
cover that newspaper prints the news, and
that to tamper with it, because it may not
always be what the editorial opinions of the
paper would indicate that it ought to be, is as
unprofessional and indefensible as 1t would be
to reject a mans advertisement because of the
cut of his coat or the price of his church pew.

1t is opportune that in the same issue we
should be able to print the announceme mt that
the Wall-st. panic is over, and the monthly
statement of the Public Debt which shows how
utterly wicked and groundless in its origin that
panic was. The upward movement in Gold could
have no possible just cause save apprehenslons
of change for the worse in the Government
finances. Yet, at the very hour the Gold
Gamblers were forcing the premium up into
the sixties. as if the Government
were on the verge of going to pieces
tho Treasury clerks were footing up
the statement which shows that the decrease
in the Public Debt during the month was ST.
467 .429 80, and that the decrease during the
seven months of Grants Administration has
been S56,06sIs7 90!

Those who look forward to the annexation
of Canada as her ultimate destiny, may be en-
couraged by the fact that her financial aflllia-
lions follow the natural tendency of her geo.
graphical position. The capitalists OF that
country do not find satisfactory opportunities
of investment in their native securities, and
their branch offices in New-York engage in
larger operations than the home institutions.
One bank of Montreal is currently reported to
have had over $2,OO00OO at stake in the recent
gold speculations. 1t appears that the Hon.
John Rose, who has just resigned the position
of Financial Minister to the Dominion, has
found the same difficulty, and is influenced by
similar views. 1t is just announced that he has
been admitted as partner in one OF our New
York banks.

reasonable, dictatorial, bullying. We have
heartily supported Republican candidates who
favored License as strongly as we do Pro-
hibition we are willing to do so to the end f;
and we submit that, so long as Prohibitionists
are content with the Liquor laws as they are,
the lovers of Freedom to Drink ought to be
we'll satisfied to let them alone; for, though
they might at first be modified in the interest
of Lager, they would be very likely in the
long run to take different shape altogether.
We believe no man who can drink without
making beast of himself has any trouble In
getting all the Liquor he will pay for in any
part of our State, and as well on Sunday as
any other. 1t does seem to US that, If Iotal
Abstnents and Prohibitonists can rest satisfied
with this others might regard it with at least
equal oomplacency; but We take things as we
find them,

Once in a while ga PERSONAL paragraph 60
ing the rounds of the newspapers reveals to
the world the presence in it of some most ex-
traordnary and accomplished character. Mr..
Boucicault, the eminent manufacturer of plays,
is the last notability we have seen thus honored.
In the first place. we are told that he has
reached the venerable age of half a century.
Secondly, "he is good looking" Thirdly, "he
dresses WELL" Fourthly, "he fences, boxes,
boats, shoots and rides WELL" Filthy, she
ais full of fun and anecdote" Are not these
little traits which endear man to the public,
besides being uncommonly Interestingly What
would we not give for few particulars like
these about Shakespeare, who, as play
maker, is not to be named in the same day
with Mr.. BOucicault2

CHIN REEENUE-

Minister Washburne has translated for his
home organ, The Galena Gdsette, long article
on Cuba from La Libert6 Of Paris. Thus rec
commended, some of its facts and figures de-
serve note; but we are not sure that all OF
them are correct. For instance, La Liberte
states that the Cuban revenue in 1857 was
$S,049,5S1, whereas, if the Spanish tables are
to be trusted, 1t was nearer double that amount.
Equally untrue is it that the revenue for 1868
was S12,013,4GG; and we presume that the
French statistcian has left ont of count lotte-
ries, special taxes, and other fancy methods of
raising revenue well known to Cuba. The
budget of the island for 1867 was S3l162,653.
How near the French statement for 1868 is to
the fact may be judged both from this and
the following table, copied from the General

Cuba for 1s6S-69 1t is Minister Marforis own

Virginia holds her State Agricultural Fair at
Richmond on the I'd, Sd, 4th, and 5th of No
vember; and unusual efforts will be made to
attract thereto Northern farmers, manufac-
turers, and capitalists. To this end, Mr.. L. ID.
Neal is now in our City as Agent of the State
Society and we urge our makers or sellers
of Agricultural Implements and Machines to
be largely represented at the Fair. Arrange
ments have been made for the free transpor-
tation of articles designed for exhibition, and
we hope to meet at that Fair large gather
ing of Northern men and goodly display of
labor saving devices.

Peace Festival celebrated the triumphant con-
clusion Of their labors by eating dinner together
at q Boston hotel. last Friday evening. We
merely refer to the circumstance because it
came out during the speeches that twenty
tuns of nails, seven tuns of bolts, six and
one-half tuns of spikes, and two million five
hundred thousand feet Of lumber were en-
ployed in 1.-THE construction of the imposing
structure. These are facts bearing upon the
History of Music in this country, which we
feel should be placed permanently upon record.

The foregoing is not an extraordinary budget
made in view of war, for neither the outbreak
at Cadiz nor the instruction at Yara were
thought of at the time of its adoption. 1t
may be translated into dollars either by rating
the escudo at SO, rs in South America, or a
half dollar, as in Spain. In any way, the
reckoning of Cuba's money burden is sufficient
to overwhelm the sum short of thirteen
millions which La Hber6 represents as the
total revenue. Add, however, ten or eleven
millions from the lottery, which we insist is a
part of tho Hispano- Cuban revenue, and the
French figures are not far wrong.

The present Republican troubles in Catalonia,
to which Madrid telegram again refers, have
gained excitement from the strike at Barcelona,
where $4,000 cotton operatives successfully de-
manded higher wages, and the assassination of
nine prisoners at Montealagre with the approval
of Gen. Prim. What with these facts and
the spirit of the Republicans, as already
manifested in Tarragona and Barcelona, there is
enough to create a serious apprehension of worse
work for the Regency than now appears.

A little game of the Board of Supervisors
will we hope, be checked by the proceedings
which Mr.. Ely has just instituted in the Su-
perior Court. 1t seems those estimable officers
held special meeting from which members
not in the Ring were carefully excluded, and
in that secret conclave voted away twenty
millions Of dollars. Supervisor Ely now applies
for an injunction to restrain the Controller
from paying the money The transaction seems
to have been one of the most shameful in the
history of even that notorious Board.

The next day some one having access to the

reduction. This must be the same genius who

We have said over and over again that mea
like Senators NATION, Williams, and Van
Petten were a disgrace to the last Legislature,
and that there could be no higher Repub-
lican duty than to keep them out of
the next. If we were to say this once
week from now until the day OF
the election, we might still be sure OF
some donkey's writing to the journals printed
in this city and elsewhere for private circula-
ton, that THE TRIBUNE's silence about these
Senators was most suspicious, and that we EVIL
IDENTIFY wanted them elected.
We do not care to waste strength on mere
personal denunciations, having effect only in
isolated districts. We give Messrs. Nation,
Williams, and Van Petten Of the Senate and
the twenty Assemblymen recreant on the
Hodges Tax Levy, whose names we have SO
often printed, only as conspicuous, notorious
examples of the kind Of men not to nominate,
and not to vote for if nominated. There are
plenty of others, of the same sort, more
or less well known to the voters in their re-
spectiye districts. What we urge upon all
good citizens is not simply to oppose notorl-
ously corrupt men, but to vote for no man
whom they do not knOW to be above
the possibility of suspicion. We appeal to
Republicans in every district in the State
to act upon this plain rule. Wherever you find
doubtful man, scratch your ticket, and sub
stitute the name Of some one whom you feel
sure you can trust. 1t is not enough that your
candidate should not be q VIGOROUSLY bad man
he should be one k,so,Cn on all hands as q good
man. If he is not, incOntinently BOLT!
