Judge Bland Ballard, of the United States
District Court for the District of Ken
lucky, is one of the few Kentuckians
capable of comprehending that the late
war has somewhat modified the former
status of the negroes. His decision yesterday
may have the effect to force upon the aver
age Kentucky mind knowledge of the
fact that the United States laws have
some power, even in that bailiwick. The case
is that of negro, sentenced to be hung after
a trial in which negroes were refused their
right to give evidence in the case. Judge Bal
lard, on the showing of this fact, issued n
mandate, staying proceedings, and granting a
writ of error. The negro is thus given a
chance for his life in United States Courts,
and Kentucky jurists are enabled to under
stand that there is a higher authority in the
country than their State tribunals.

Of course there are complaints from Wash
ington of the removals in the Treasury De-
partment. When were there not, after re-
movals had been made7 Mr.. Boutwell, must
comprehend at the outset that his only safety
is in peremptOry adherence to the
general principle of retrenchment, and
an absolute refusal to consider the
appeals of Congressman or others for places
when he has no places to give. Let it be un-
derstood, once for all, that the Treasury De-
partment is not souI house. If the Secre-
tary can succeed in impressing knowledge of
that truth upon Congressman and place
hunters, he may be able to rid his Depart
ment of the expensive deadweights. Other
wise he must soon succumb.

We recently stated that Mrs. j. S. Griffpg,
late of the Freedmen's Bureau, Washington,
d. c., would supply Blacks who want to work
for wages to all applicants. We should have
said that those who apply are expected to pay
fare, as the Freedmen's Bureau no longer,does
anything in this line. We learn with pleasure
that most of the negroes now idle in Washing
ton are males, of whom thousand could be
supplied Mt short notice. Do let us see If these
"niggers won't work" We trust that they
mainly belong to wiser and better class.

The chronic complaint of the City of Gin
cinnat has been that it had no close connec-
ton with the Southern system of railroads.
Until lately, full one-half It's trade was with
the South, yet it was dependent for
communication solely upon the river.
and upon one or two imperfect rail-
road routes which led through its rival.
Louisville. Scores of efforts have been
made to raise money for building direct road
from Cincinnati to Knoxville, but they have
always fallen through At last the Ohio Legis-
lature has come 10 the rescue, and
granted Cincinnati authority to raise, by
loan or otherwise, ten millions of dollars
for this purpose. This is equivalent to secur-
ing the construction of the road 1t will open
some of the most desirable and some of the
most remote parts of Kentucky and East Ten
nessee; will connect the whole Southern sys-
tenn of railroads with the Western, and will
prove one of the most important of recent
railroad enterprises

Gen. Patrick II. Jones yesterday filed his
bond as Postmaster Of the City of New Ork,
and sent it to Washington for acceptance. We
presume he will take charge of the office to-
morrow. Gen. Jones served with gallantry in
the late Civil War, accompanying Gen. Sher-
man in his famous March to the Sea. He was
a large majority over his Democratic opponent.
He was not candidate for reelection in 1868,
but, had he been, must of course have shared
the defeat of his party.
When Gen. Charles G. Halpine's sudden death
left his family needy and the office of Register
vacant, Gov. Fenton was strongly urged 10
appoint in his stead some one who would per-
form the duties and give the entire proceeds
to the widow and orphans. He consented, ana
appointed Gen. Jones, who never received
penny of tho proceeds of the Office, OF
which, after defraying the expenses, he pald
over the residue as was intended. AS Gen.
Jones is far from rich, the friends OF Gen.
Halpine hold this in grateful remembrance.
The Express intimates that personal hostility
impelled the resistance to Mr.. Kelly's reap
pointment. This is q mistake. Mr.. Kelly has
held Office after Office in our City pretty steadily
Tor the laSb tnlTly years, anu h''o os1h'" ~"
the duties of each with diligence and fidelity.
But he saw fit, in the contest Of 1866. to iden-
tify himself with the Johnson-W eed-Demo-
cratic fusion which was proclaimed by State
Convention at Albany, whereof Mr.. Kelly was
manager, and whereby John Il. Hoff-
man was nominated for Governor with Robert
II. Pruyn for Lieut. Governor. This was the
ticket which Coy. Seward at Niagara predicted
would beat the Republican by 10000 majority;
but it didn't And some of us preferred that
its hackers should not have the best offices
under Republican Administration: hence the
request that Mr.. Kelly should take lower seat.

Why should the Legislature be considering
bills to prevent the use of steam on our city
railroads Do not members know that steam
is so used now without any injury to any in
terests (unless it be those of rival roads,,
that it is sure to be used more and
more, that our great want Is more
rapid means of communication through
the city limits, and that they might as well be
legislatng against the use of street cars instead
of hacks. or the telegraph wires instead of the
il-bagsi The bill, we believe has been
ordered to a third reading VIII not sensible
men in the Legislature find themselves strong
enough to check any further steps in this di-

The influence of Secretary Boutwelps visit to
this city yesterday can probably be traced in
the sharp advance in Government bonds. 1t
is no Secret, we believe, that while here
the Secretary alluded to the law requiring
the purchase of one per cent of our entire in
debtedness, to be set aside as Sinking
Fund, and expressed his purpose to carry it
out. We have repeatedly called the Secre-
tary's attention to this law and we heartily
rejoice at the prospect now afforded that
through it. we may be enabled at least to
Withdraw twenty-sx millions of bonds from
the market, and to do it at an ex-
pense of little over twenty millions
of our idle Gold.-The sale yesterday OF one
million from the Treasury had no perceptibe
effect save to realize fair premium to the
Government on the operation. Messrs Henry
Clews g. Co. were the chief purchasers.

The meeting called in Philadelphia yesterday
at the instance of the Industrial League OF
Pennsylvania, adopted series of excellent
resolutions relative to the duty Of the Govern
ment to uphold and develop American in
dustry by " firm and steady" policy
of protection, and the want of gem
eral and symmetrical tariff law which
shall supersede all previous enactments.
The report Of the Secretary made gratifying
statement of the progress of protection senti-
ments among the workingmen of America,
nearly 200 of whom are agents of the Penn
sylvania League, actively engaged in distribut-
ing papers and documents While the
introduction of Waylands textbooks into
a number of public and high schools has had
its natural effect in turning large proportion
of the educated classes to q policy of free
trade, it is agreeable to know that sounder
doctrines are spreading so steadily among the
working people who must shape the course of
our national legislation.

The albany Erening Journal violently objects
to our proposition to publish list OF the
names of those who have voted and may vote
for the VIGOROUSLY corrupt measures before
the Legislature, and in the same article ad-
mits the corrupt practices of members,
and shows the necessity for the ex-
posures proposed. But if The journal
knows, as it broadly asserts, that certain cor
respondents have been paid to intimidate
members from voting for measures that de-
serve support, we will thank it for their
names. Let us have facts, not innuendoes; and
we promise the circulation of The TRIBUNE to
aid in promoting the exposure.

Several journals having mistakenly asserted
that Horace Greeley had accepted place on
the Commission which is about to examine and
report on the condition of the completed Pa
oifc Railroad, it may be proper to say that he
at no time accepted it, simply because he can
not now leave his basiness in New-York. Had
he time to go, he would gladly do so. Since
he has not he rejoices that the President has
appointed Gen. HIRAM WALBRIDGE in his
stead. Gen. Walbridge was an early adj
vOcate of a Railroad across the continent,
through the heart of our country, having
visited California in 1853 expressly to attend
the first Pacific Railroad Convention. Having
since been prominent in every effort to cheaper
and extend our internal commerce, it is fit that
lis name should be honorably identified with
the completion of the grandest enterprise of
this century. He will not be exceeded in in
telligent devotion TO his most responsible trust.

There is great deal of reason in the article
on "a Woman's Right" which we publish IN
another column /; but it is reason of what SLAM
derous men sometimes call the feminine kind
it would be excellent theory were 1T not based
upon a disregard of the most obvious facts.
Certainly woman has q perfect night TO go
out after dark unattended and there Is both
force and pathos in the remark that as the
world now goes only the pretty girls have
chance to be taken every week to Booths
and Wallacks, while the plain ones, who most
need the consultations of the theater, are kept
at home But "a Woman" is mistaken
in supposing that nothing but the
asburd restrictions of society forbid
Il respectable lady to go abroad at night with
out an escort. We wish we could believe, as
she does, that she would be perfectly safe IN
the streets at 10 o'clock p. m, or that woman
is no more exposed to the molestations OF rut-
fans than o man. The trouble is not that
respectable society frowns upon women who
are seen at theaters and concerts unattended
but that the risk in all large towns is so great
that respectable society is justified in supposing
that any woman who braves it has little con-
Germ for the consequences. Make our cities
safe before you try to change sensible rule

The proclamation of Count Valmaseda, or
dering the execution of every Cuban who may
be found away from his home, without being
able to give q satisfactory explanation, will be
classed among the most infamous exhibitions
of military despotism recorded in the history
of countries laying claim to civilization. We
would doubt the correctness of the report, if
the Cable did not state that Cuban papers re-
ceivcd in Key West contain the proclamation.

Now that there is little luli in the wars OF
the Whisky Ring here. it is refreshing 10
observe that single session OF the Orahd
Jury at Cincinnati has found Wty-t0o
indictments against members of that
widespread organization. The announce
ment in the dispatch that "there are
"big fish in the net" must, however, be taken
as ominous. The big fish have generally man
aged to break through; and we have dim
recollection that late noted case before Judge
Leavitt, in which extraordinarily heavy fines
were imposed, failed after all to amount to
