A BATCH or ERIE BILLS.

An acrimonious personal controversy is
going on at Paterson, New-Jersey, between
Gen. Thomas ID. IIOxsey and State Senator John
Hopper. With the original canse of quarrel
we have no special concern but the dispute
has given occasion for q review of Erie legis-
lation in New-Jersey of which Mr.. Hopper
seems to have been the chief agent, and the
narrative is 80 instructive that we purpose
laying a summary of it before our readers. 1t
does not appear that Mr.. Fisk asked any
thing of the New-Jersey Legislature quite so
monstrous as the Directors bill which Gov.
Hoffman signed for him at Albany but what
ever he did ask no got, and very pretty
little business upon the whole he must have
done. Mr. IIOpper's talent as a legislator was
first discovered by the Drew party at the
time of the great injunction war, when the
officers of the Company ran away from the
New York courts with seven millions of the
Erie Railroad money, and intTenched them
selves ut "Fort Taylor" in jersey City, leav-
ing Judge Barnard to appoint Peter ID. Swee-
nv "receiver" of the funds of the Company
after they had been carried hOpelessly beyond
his reach, and to allow him commission of
S15O,000 for not taking care of them. A bill to
enable the Erie Company to transact business
in the State of New-Jcrscy and to issue stock
which it was cnjoined from issuing in New
York, was pushed through the Legislature
in t,oO hours. Such clean and expeditions work
as this of course commended Mr.. Hopper to
the notice of Fisk and Gould, and when, by
the division of spoils at the close of the Drew
Vanderbilt struggle, those eminent financiers
found themselves owners of the Erie Railway,
Mr. Hopper seems to have been permanently
engaged as their legislative counselor.
The Trenton Legislature being now open for
manipulation, the business in Erie bills be-
came brisk Whether rumor Is right in award
ing Mr.. Hopper the credit for all of them, we
do not know and do not care. 1t is the bills
themselves with which we arc chiefly inter
csted The first was intended to defeat the
laws limiting the rates of freight and fares on
roads controlled by the Erie Company in New
jersey. A forfeit of 500 for each Overcharge
was recoverable under penal statute, and in
the attempt TO crush out certain express COM
panics the Eric corporation had made itself
liable in large amounts under this law. The
new bill enacted that "a judgment re-
" covered for one penalty under the
" same statute in causes of action concerning
" the same party aggrievcd and the same de-
" PENDANT, should be bar to further actions
" affecting the same party aggreved for ollcnses
" of like character y 30 that after paying a
single fine of 800 for one Overcharge, the Erie
Railroad would DO at liberty to go on over
charging the same person IA much as it pleased
for the rest of his natural life! In accordance
with this act, it was decided in court that a
great number of suits brought against the
Company TO recover penalties for an Illegal in
crease of 100 per cont in tho rates Of freight

Senator Summers argument in his lecture on
the " Franco German Duel" as he terms the
existing war in Europe, will strike most read
ers as doing greater credit to his humanity
than his craftsmanship. He intimates that the
Dismemberment of France is not the only
guaranty of peace which is demanded, but that
Disarmament, not only of France, but of all
Europe, should be urged. Dismemberment may
satisfy Germany. Disarmament is demanded
by Civilization. But. unfortunately, Civilization
has not the physical power to enforce its
claims, as Germany lrss; and for the time
being the world will hsve to he contenS with
the lesser guaranty of the retention OF the
conquered provinces of France. 1t is certainly
very desirable in the interests of peace that
there should be no standing armies, and we
shall rejoice if public opinion brings about that
devoutly wished for end; but we have little
hope that, in the present temper of the age,
universal peace is to be soon proclaimed.

There is no longer any doubt that Oakley
Hall has resOrted to practices peculiar to Tam
many in order to make out his case against
the Federal Census. Not having any evidence
to sustain his charges, we are credibly IN
formed that he has gone to work manufactur-
ing it by colonzing large numbers of the
faithful in certain districts, where they are
enumerated ms the basis for any vote which
may be deemed desirable when the returns
are coming in. The Mayor ought to know
that he is year too late with this little game
for defrauding the people of their right to a
fair election. With the law of Congress riSidiy

Tammany must understand that the silence
of the City Controller is.an admission that
the affairs of his department are not in fit
condition for exposure to the public And it
must be further understood that every days
delay i'll the appearance of an exhibit
strengthens the suspicion that it is in process
of preparation to suit the occasion, and will
be rushed upon the people at the last moment
prior to the election with a great braying
about Republican ISLANDERS. Unfortunately for
Tammany, the Ring officials are so adroit in
the use of figures that there must be cor
roborative evidence and time to sift it before
the people will accept any exhibit the Con-
troller may at last condeScend to make as
satisfactory. Therefore, if the Ring issues at
the last moment a report showing the finances
of the city to have been most wisely and
faithfully managed. let them also come armed
with incontestibe proofs of the correctness of
their figures.
