The Pacific Railroad authorities who have
appealed to Congress for leave to remove their
Headquarters from this city may well be ex-
cused for the effort We are in no position for
blaming any railroad corporation for wanting
to keep out of the New-YOrk Courts. The
canny Directors of the Pacific roads
have thus far shown disposition
to prefer good dividends and nice
inside Credit Moblier arrangements as ways
for disposing of their profits, rather than law
yers' fees, injunctions, cross-iDjunctions, an
swers, surrebutters, and the whole brilliant
array that we keep spread for the entertain
ment of our directors and the wrath of our
stockholders in New-York Clearly, the Pa
cifc Railroad people are still of sound and
dispOsing mind.

The poor GeOrgians have taken another turn
at the Constitutional Amendment concerning
suffrage. This time the Senate tried to ratify
it, but failed by the casting vote of the pre-
siding officer. Meantime, the legislators who
ran away from the House to delay
its action are involved in sore strait.
Gov. Bullock orders that the Treasurer
pay no money on their warrants for salaries
till they come back and attend to their bust
ness. What pity that bright idea had not
struck them out in Indiana, few weeks ago
Between their hatred of niggers and their need
Of money, the Democrats would have had
hard time. but we know which influence would
have carried the day.

to such command in some place like that
noted Department of the Lakes" where a
major general had five States to command ana
only four companies of troops within his entire

We trust the gentlemen at Albany under
stand distinctly that the newspapers OF this
city do not ask the breaking down of quaran-
tine regulations that they may col,
Iect ship news. That news Is Wgl
collected now, in accordance with the
regulations and without endangering the health
of the city. The journals almost exclusively
devoted to the publication OF shipping
news are perfectly satisfied with the
present arrangements. So are we.
So is every journal, we believe with single

invited, do it honestly, and not under pretense
of serving Press that asks nothing of the

OUR DEBT AND OUR TAXES.

To the Editor Of The Trtoune.
SIR: am a daily reader of your paper ana
follow your views public finance as closely ana Deiie'
ingy possible -, -
Rnt am confronted by ono stunning fact which you
do not seem to handle with your accustomed anu "n'
vigor. 1t Is this:
The debt of The cotrntrg Is fneredsfn0.
The people are as heartily tdred as hey can bear
Now please answer me this questions What must be inc
final result of increasing public debt under such crcu
stancesf Yours, very respectfully, EEoRok flEhch'
Harlem, N. " March Is, 1869.
Reply-There are just two material plumbers
in our correspondents premises, VIZ:
/. The Debt of the United States Is no' in-
creasing.
It was over S2,7570OO,OOO on the 1st OF Au-
gust, and also on the 1st of September, 1000; IL
was but $2,644 1896, ,9O4 OH the 1st inst Pad OH IN
three-and-a-half years, of principal, at least
Tiro Hundred and Thirteen Millions Of Dollars.
But this is not all. We have moreover paid
immense sums to soldiers as mustering-ouC
bounties, &c. to States for advances IN tne
way of outfit and arms for their volunteers IN
the War for the Union, &C., &c. The actual
reduction of our Indebtedness since the war
ended is nearer Four than Three Hundred
Millions And the country is rapidly increas-
ing its population, production, and wealth-at
the average rate of not less than five per cent.
per annum. At this rate, though not one dol
lar of principal were meantime paid Off the
practical burden of our Debt would be re-
duced fully two-thirds in thirty years. Ihat
is TO say: The Debt will bear upon us but
one-third as heavily in 1890 as it does in 1862
II. The People are not as heavily taxed as
they can bear; since they are not taxed nearly
so heavily as they were two, three, and four
years ago, when they were fewer and poorer
than they now are.
III. We guess that Mr.. Pierce is mistaken
as to his regularly reading and needing IHE

memory.

New-York tribune., 1869-03-18

The tendencies of the discussion on the Ten
ure-of- Civil Offices act, yesterday, seemed to
be against the probability Of repeal and in fa-
vor of suspension. Mr.. Carpenter, the new Sen
Rtor from Wisconsin, defended the bill on legal
grounds, and other strong speeches were made
in the same direction. Whatever is done with
the measure, the present mischievous use Of
Gen. Grants name in connection with it
should be avoided. The question is one Of law,
not of persons. Whatever points of temporary
expediency may be involved in it will be
amply provided for by the proposed suspension
of the law during the recess.

Whether Sheridan was going to Louisiana or
not, and if not, why not, has lately been puz-
zling the popular mind little. The order as.
signing the new Lieutenant General to the
Military Division just left by the old one Ger
tainly finds in that circumstance sufficient
illustration of its fitness. Gen. Grant thought
the command Of our whole frontier, and
control of the region in which the Indian
hostilities were raging or threatened, so
important, that he sent there his most trusted
friend, the officer next in rank to himself.
When that officer is called to the command
of the army, he naturally turns 10 the next in
rank to fill his own vacancy. To have sent
the Lieutenant General anywhere else while

1t is reported that the draft of the new
Spanish Constitution, which is now being elab-
Grated by q Committee of fifteen, establishes
complete civil and religious liberty, but retains
Catholicism as the religion of the State. We
believe it will be found that the Republican
members of the COrtes are almost unanimous
in favor Of complete separation between
Church and State; policy which all the
liberal Unionists and most of the PrOgressists
regard as too radical. The establishment of
the principle of complete civil and religious
liberty would, however, be an immense pro-
gress over the former state of affairs, and leave
to the Catholic Church only the prerogative of
receiving for its ministers and institutions sup
port from the State 1t may be expected that
when the Cortes, in the progress of their de-
alterations on the new Constitution, shall reach
the relation between Church and State, there
will be one of the most violent debates Of the
session. The Church party, which is repre-
sented in the Committee of fifteen by Olozaga,
will make an uncompromisiDg, though we be-
lieve an unsuccessful, resistance even to the
principle of religious liberation.
New-York tribune., 1869-03-18

Everybody will rejoice to know that there is,
at length, some reasonable hope of escape from
the exorbitant charges and insulting treatment
of our city "hack drivers. While our State
Senate Committee on Municipal Affairs had
under consideration bill giving authority to
a company of New-YOrk gentlemen to establish
in this city and Brooklyn system of cheap
cabs-on which they have since reported favor
ably-Mr. James Fisk jr., was making bar
gain with firm in New-H Hampshire to build
him twenty-five cabs of French pattern, each
of which is to accommodate four persons and
their usual amount Of baggage. These he in
tends to station at the Erie Railway depot, and
they are to take passengers to every part of
the city for fifty cents each. There is no reason
why people in NewYork should be forced to
pay from two to ten dollars, according to
the necessities of the occasion and tho pre-
sumption Of drivers, for the use of a car
riage half an hour while in Europe, and even
in some other cities of tho United States, much
better accommodation may be secured for as
many shillings. The relief cannot como too
quickly.

This was Mr.. Stanton's resolution when he re-

wretched. The long and bitter service OF the
war broke down splendid constitution, and
the great Secretary, we regret to say, is no

saving that. if there was any Office which Mr..
stanton would accept, it would be gladly given
to him. He can take no office that would add
to the luster of his great name. While we
deeply mourn the reasons that have led him

add to fame which is precious to every lover

We have not hitherto been specially edited

questions for the gentlemen in Congress to

New-Jersey gives promise of taking the lead
in many needed reforms. A plan is now before
the Legislature to inaugurate reform IN the
treatment of criminals, and it is proposed to
establish the intermediate system, so successful
in Ireland and Reform Schools for girls ana
boys. The Contract System" which works
so unjustly to the State itself and to honest
mechanics is to be abandoned.

The Military Committee of the House, as
BOW constituted is believed to be in favor of
a yet more sweeping reduction of the army.
In their visit to the President yesterday, the
members received assurances that he thought
no further legislation needed at present. The
General of the Army promised retrenchment
and thought the present law, if rigidly en-
forced, would largely reduce expenses.

white men gathered together, and
immediate pursuit was instituted:-
At 10 O'clock, on the same day, the
Indians were overtaken, when des-
perate. fight ensued. The Indians
were beaten back into aravine, and
thus were enabled to keep up the con-
