SUBURBAN HOMES.

we devote an unusually large space in this
mornings TRIBUNE to q subject of the greatest
domestic interest TO the public of New-York.
At no time has the difficulty of obtaining COM
Portable homes Mt moderate cost been so keenly
experienced by our citizens as at present.
Thousands of families are put to serious dis
comfort, many to absolute suffering, in conse-
quence of the inordinate rents demanded
even in the rcmotest sections of the me-
tropolis, and of their own ignorance
of the methods by which they can find relief
from the extortions they are subject to. 1t is
chiefly to meet the wants of this constantly
increasing class that we have prepared the
elaborate and detailed description, which ap-
pears elsewhere, of the various places of eligi-
ble country residence within radius of forty
miles of Now-York. Few people are yet
aware of the remarkable facilities for
travel which exist between most of these
places and the city, or fully understand
the conveniences which the numerous
railways afford TO men of business making the
centers of trade more easily accessible from
moderate suburban distances than from many
points within the mural limits. The informa-
tion which we lay before our readers will
prove as valuable to many as it is novel, af-
fording, as it does, not only ample proof of
pecuniary and other advantages accompanying
country homes, but also 1.-THE fullest indica-
tions Of how those advantages may best
be secured. The routes of many well-managed
railroads are laid down, with succinct account
of each town and village upon them-in all nearly
two hundred towns-anda full report of all that is
needed to enable the reader to ascertain their
character. In every case, the extent Of the
population, the social conditions, the sanitary
qualities, the price OF land and the purposes
to which it may be applied, the cost of build
ing, the general expenses of living and travel the
distances from New-York, the public institu
tions schools, churches, &C., are amply and ac-
curately described. In all instances where it has
appeared desirable, such minutes details as his
torcal associations, scenic surroundings or local
occupations and pastimes are likewise recorded.
We believe that every reasonable variety of
taste and need will find itself provided for
within the circle which has been the subject of
our exploration. fhe,agrculturist will see at
glance the regions best adapted to his wants,
and tthe sportsman will as easily discover
the neighborhoods in which he may
most conveniently pursue his favorte rec
reation, The physical characteristics of
each locality are faithfully noted, and it is
remarkable to find how great variety is con-
centrated In 80 comparatively small space.

of this amount into the hands of Commission
of Friends, to be disposed of according
TO their best judgment among the Indians,
promises well, but, after all, it is one of those
measures which can only be Judged by the
result. We have the consolation that, In any
event, they can hardly make things worse than
at present. The grant Of further time to the
liquor-dealers for taking spirits out OF BOND Is
one of those unfortunate pieces OF Legislation
which now and then become a law In some
mysterious and doubtful manner.
We have enumerated the main features OF
this short sessions work. The Memphis and
Ell Paso bill, offering O chance to Company
which proposed to build a Pacific Railway
without subsidy, failed; and SO did the Census
bill; but, on the other hand, three or four OBJ
jectionable measures that once seemed likely
TO pass, the National Bank tinkering, the West
India buncombe and the beggarly disability y
peddling, met the same end. Altogether, these
thirty three days of the XLlst Congress have
given us some valuable legislation and nothing
very bad. 1t is not always that we are able
70 signalize the close of q session by verdict
80 complimentary.

THE CITY AND COUNTY TAX LsvBa

The annual app ropriations for the sums TO
be expended by our City officials are now be-
fore the Committees Of the Senate and Assembly.
The estimates of the Mayor and Controller
accompany them; the analysis made by the
Citizens Association is also in the hands OF the
members of the Committees; and the several
counsel of the Citizens Association have ap-
peared on different occasions, and in exhaust
i've arguments have fully informed the Com
mittees on the whole subject. On the Senate
Committee are Messrs. Richard Crowley OF
Lockport, Niagara County, (Chairman), George
N. KennedyIof Syracuse, and Abiah w. Palmer
of Dutchess On the Assembly Committee are
Messrs. George M. Gleason of ST. Lawrence,
(Chairman). Nicholas B. La Bau Of Warren.
James A. Richmond of New-York, Matthew
p Bemus Of Chautauqua, Moses Summers OF
Onondaga, and A. B. Hodges of Williams
burgh, Kings County-all Republicans
1t now rests Tih these gentlemen to fr the
amount of money which the Democracy of NeT-
York Is to hare this Fall for the political cam
paiqn The tax levies, as they were sent from
New York, are monstrOus specimens OF impu-
dence and imposition. No one now doubts that
if the last Tax Levy had been rejected by the
Legislature or the Governor. that We should
have carried the State of NewYOrk. That
Tax Levy was naturally giving the Copper
heads money enough to carry the State against
Mr. GriswOld. The county evy especially is
the greatest swindle ever attempted on the
Legislature. The amounts named in it are
double and treble what are needed. Not
only are they up to the limit which the Con-
troller and Mayor consider decent, but they
rise far beyond even that. Where those OIL
cals demand $25,OO0 this county levy proposes
TO take $4,000; where they demand $4,000 it
proposes $4,000; where they demand 10000
it proposes $120,O0Ol 1t puts on $4,000 add"
tional for the judiciary salaries; 100000 addi'
tional for the County Clerks patronage; $4,000
additional for the Registers little gain, and
$4,000 additional for the Supervisors pockets
Such cool attempt to humbug Legislature
was never before attempted, and we wait to
see if the Legislative Committees, whose duty
it is to cut down these sums, will close their
ewes and let the tide of corruption have full
sway. The Citizens Association has proved to
the Committees that over two millions, four
hundred thousand dollars of the sums in these
leyics are unnecessary, wastcful, and fraudu-
lent, and that it il the duty of the Committee
TO cut of this fund of political patronage and
plunder. For every dollar of this sum allowed
the Republican party will hold Messrs. Gleason,
Richmond. Crowley, Kennedy, Palmer La Bau,
Bemus, Hodges, and Summers responsible.
Gentlemen of the Committees we wait for
your report

.ol 1streS: With the UhiteSS States they
have now contrived to offer an equal
or greater indignity to Great Bntaiq.
Pursuing vessel into British
harbor they first insisted on their right to search
it, and then absolutely landed detachment
of marines and secured the island for the
crew of Cuban privateer that had, the day
before, been driven uponsthe reef. The Mas
sau paper speaks under pardonable excite
ment in pronouncing this nothing short
Z" of a declaration of war against Great
Britain and assuming that ait seals the
" fate of Cuba;" but certainly no more mar
velous example Of audacous folly has marked
the annals of the Spanish Navy in Western
waters. The violation of International Law
is SO palpable that it cannot be regarded as
other than intentional and deliberate. There
is,n says Wheaton, summing up the consent
ing opinions of all writers on the sub
ject, Z" there is no exception to the rule
"that every voluntary entrance into neu-
"tral territory with hostile purposes is abso-
"lutely unlawful" The Spanish Government is
not likely to want much more of this sort OF
service from its navy.

Under the new law recognizing the Judi
ciary system, the appointment of ten or twelve
| Judges of the highest class is devolvod upon
President Grant. We note that the campaign
for the places has already begun, and hasten
to enter our protest. Ordinary ofice-hunting
is bad enough but we insist that canvass
at this particular moment for any gentleman,
for a place on the Supreme Bench, or an ap-
pointment as one of tie new Circuit Judges,
should be held as peremptory bar
to consideration of his name. Let
us have sOme places left that are TO
be filed, not because the candidates
have hunted them down, but because the Off
ces seek the men. Probably one of the two
Supreme Judges at liberty, under the law, to
retire on full pay, will embrace the opportun-
ity, and. there being already one vacancy, we
shall thus have two places on the Supreme
Bench TO be filled, besides the whole
list of Circuit Judges. The choice Of these
men determines, in considerable measure, the
character of our higher Judiciary for almost a
quarter of century. Gen. Grant has no duty
to perform that requires more careful, deliberate
consideration in which he should be moro
entirely delivered from the opportunities of
mere office hunters.

THE LArE SESSION or CONGRESS.


The thirty three days, to which the XLlst
| Congress limited its first session, were, on tho
whole, well spent We are grateful for some
excellent legislation completed. for some very
| bad legislation prevented, and for the early
adjournment. One or two measures that ought
to have passed were lost between the Houses;
but on the other hand some exceedingly worth
less ones shared the same fate.
The 6ct by which the session will be longest
remembered il one for whose prompt passage
we have to thank the sagacious craftsmanship
of Gen. Grant. We mean the law that closes
the series of Reconstruction measures, and
provides for Z" the crowning of the edi6ce." No
tmelier, wiser enactment has, in these latter
years. marked our progress toward resto-
ration. We hail it as the end of
the policy of hatred and revenge /;
the end of irritating and useless disfranchise-
ments and the means of bringing to the next
session of this Congress full representation
once more-for the first time since 1S6O-of
every State in the Union. IL has another and
not less grateful significance 1t is the first
movement Of the new Administration in mas
ters of national policy.
Next to this we reckon the act TO strengthen
tho Public Credit, a measure which this Con-
gress only gained the honor of passing because
Of Mr.. Johnson's perversity in depriving the
last one of il through his Pocket Veto Its
excellent effect was Immediately perceptible -
if now we can only reinforce it by using our
surplus gold to buy up our bonds in the mar
ket, and by relentless and thorough collec-
tion of our Customs and Internal Revenue, we
shall soon be on the highway TO an
era of sounder finances. The bill to enlarge
the judicial system by the addition of one Jus
tice to the Supreme Court, and by the appoint
ment of Circuit Judges who shall relieve the
Supreme Judges Of q part of their present
Onerous duties, is measure the necessity of
which the court dOcRets have long demon
strated, and the good results Of which may
soon be seen in the more rapid disposal Of
causes throughout the various circuits. The
conclusion Of the Tenure-Qf Office discussions
we can hardly commend 30 highly. 1t
retains the principle which we hold to be inn
portant. but does it in blind bungling way
that was only accepted with satisfaction be-
cause il seemed under the circumstances to be
the best thing then attainable. Tho long.dis-
ppted Indian Appropriation bill, which was
finally cut down TO six And a Quarter millions,

The Central Committee of tho Carlist party,
which is sitting in Paris, has for some time
been displaying a great activity in making all
the preparations for new civil war in Spain.
A Cable dispatch to-day informs us that q
band of 600 Carlists have made an attack upon
SEQ de Urgel, town situated in the Pyrenees.
Fortunately, their hopes were disappointed ;
they were attacked and defeated by the forces
of the Government 1t is likely that several
other attempts to rekiudle civil war will be
made by the Carlsts; but the immense ma
jority of the people have 50 clearly expressed
their opposition to the restoration of that party
to power, that we regard its success as impos-
