What an astonishing subterraneAn puzzle
Broadway will be one Of these days II all the
''grsnd enterprises" that are promised or
threatened shall be completed. There are just
three underground railway schemes. With the
Arcade Railway, the latest and greatest mon
strosity proposed, the public Is familiar. II
proposes to plough up Broadway and scoop It
out to sufficient depth to run railway train
just beneath the surface, and then make q new
surface which will never be In order, 30 that
the public will bo indefinitely deprived Of the
use Of the street. There Is also what is called
the Central Underground Railway, the law
authorizing which was passed last year, and
Is not now repealed or set aside nor the rights
accruing under i IN any way provided for by
the new law for the Arcade Railway. Yet the
bills are clearly inconsistent, and there must
inevitably be collision of claims, for great
part Of the line OF the Central Underground
Railway runs beneath Broadway. The con-
tracts for the construction Of the Central I'M
derground Railway are made, and the
Arcade Railway cannot, we suppose, very
easily oust its predecessor of the right
given by law. Can the State, under the con-
stitution of the United States, pass law to
impair the obligation Of these contracts? A
third gift Of the subterranean regions Of
Broadway was to the Pneumatic Tube Com
pany; and, though the law under which this
company operates has been repealed, we
doubt II that can properly be the end Of the
enterprise. 1t cannot. certainly, without great
injustice, for !he company has evidently spent
q great deal of money on the faith of the law
incorporating 1t, and there is something funda-
mentally wrong in the organization Of govern
ment if the State can thus render worthless
all the property Of that company without any
good reason Of public necessity. Here, then,
are three subterranean operations under
Broadway, and then, before all, there is tho
public right in the sewers, Croton water pipes
and gas pipes, both for the length of Broad
way and crossing 1t at every cross street.
With all this under Broadway something or
somebody must suffer, and this, Of course, win
be tho people.

RURAL RUM.--In Jersey just now there is q
difficulty about drinking their own lightning.
In the pretty village of Passaic, place of new
growth, but already centre Of first class
population, there were two licensed rum deal
ers, but there were in fact thirty-two rum
shops. The decent people concluded the
superfuous lightning taps must be stopped,
and stopped them; whereupon the customers of
the thirty-two are indignant and wage civil
war. Several persons have been badly beaten.
and the row may proceed till gallows stops
the way.

NEGRO SUPREMACY IN MISSISSIPPI. The

colored men, having a majority in the
Board Of Commissioners appointed to lay off
the new county of Lincoln into districts, organ
lied by electing the President and Secretary,
both from their own number. The Citize,a
suggests that the whites draw off and let their
colleagues ''do tho districting, by way Of illus
trating the wisdom of the Legislature in making
the appointments. In other words, the Citizen
recommends the whites to 'bite their noses

NAY DAY IN ROME AND NEW YogK.-May
Day, yesterday, was a very gloomy, dull day,
apparently, in Rome. Instead of being out
on the Campagna, or at home in their native
fields, enjoying the sunlight and flowers and
in festive communion with children, five or six
hundred bishops were shut up in the Vatican,
or the Catacombs, listening to the reading of
the preliminary propositions Of the dogma of
infallibility." This proves how far New York
is ahead, Our people ''keep moving on May
Day.

ANOTHER RADICAL PRop GoNE. con-
servative character of the United States
Supreme Court Is sustained by decision
delivered by Chief Justice Chase on Satur-
day--a decision so manifestly just and equi-
table that the only surprise is that its prin-
ciple was ever questioned The Court held
that loaning money to the Confederate gov
ernment, when such loan was extorted by
fear, was not an act giving aid and comfort
to the enemy. This decision relieves many
of the best Southern Unionists from the penal
ties which radical legislation sought to impose
upon them.

New York, aided by the funds Of the general

serrauo,s RESIGNATION,

The temporary withdrawal Of General Ser
rano from the Regency of Spain, as announced
in our dispatches Of April 80 from Madrid,
marks decided crisis in the development of the
situation. Its first effect, should it become
absolute, which is not likely to-day, would
be to leave General Prim undisputed
master Of the position at the capital,
where the parliamentary representatives
of the Spanish nation and the leading spirits of
the army are now assembled. In the country
at large the occasion may at once be seized by
the Isabellists, the Carlists, the unionists, the
radicals, and all the other factions and parties
that agitate the unhappy realm, to get up a
wild, wicked, pell-mell scrub race for power.
Even Espartero's name is whispered about quite
audibly, and his partlsans might make still
another diversion to thicken the broth Of polti-
cal turbulence. The recent troubles in Cata-
lonia, which required so determined demon
stration on the part of the army to suppress
them, were not so much political as aimed
against the hated quSatGs, or CONSUMPTION,
which Prim had promised last year, when IL
called for twenty-five thousand mon, should
cease, but which has been renewed this year
by draft for forty thousand. Prim insisted
upon this levy, and pushed the question In
Parliament by asking for authority TO be
granted the government to employ the re-
served resources Of the country in rails
ing that most needed aliment Of all,
viz.-ready money. The unionists, it may
be remembered, then endeavored to check
him, whereupon he threw himself boldly
into the ranks of the radicals aud literally
called on them "to follow" him. General Is
quierdo, military commandant of the city and
province Of Madrid, gave this act still
greater import by exclaiming ITO tho vote
first, General, and then to horse!" Next day
the unionists in the Ministry resigned, declar-
ing that they could not follow in ''the way that
led to the republic"
Such was the attitude of things but the
other day-Prim at the head of the army, and
yet in seeming alliance with the radicals,
whom he not long since repudiated-at the
lion In Barcelona and Gracia-at the head OF
the army which is said to be monarchical even
while it recruits most largely from republican
districts. This result appears to indicate but
one immediate consequence-the invest
ment of Prim himself with the actual, Wis
ible insignia Of the highest rank, as he has long
virtually possessed its power. In the mean
time Serrano has acted the part Of that wise
man who foreseeth the danger and straightway
standeth aside while fools pass on and are
punished. As for the choice Of monarch,
that question is more of muddle than ever,
and we are well persuaded that be the favored
candidate who he may, he'll find but
barren sceptre in his grippe.
Meanwhile it is pitiful to see Spain, hat In
hand, 60 begging for a master, aud Its politi-
col master minds wrangling and fighting, and
in and out Of the Cabinet every second hour
iu the twenty-four.

Mr.. Boutwell, and the Funding Bill.

The Secretary of tho Treasury is indefati-
gable, according to the Washington CORES
pondents, in his efforts to get the Funding bill
passed through Congress. He has lowered
his tone little, however, andis more pleading
than heretofore. The Funding bill, as 1t went
from the Senate, is complicated, an incongru-
GUS and impracticable measure; yet Mr.. Bout
well reiterates his opinion that he can success
fully negotiate loan covering the debt, or the
greater portion of it, at low rate Of interest
Very well letMr. Boutwell, try. Let Congress
pass simple resolution authorizing the Sec
retary Of the Treasury to try what he can do
and to report the result for future action. Or
let him be authorized specifically to convert
the six per cent securities Of short date to four
or five per cent ones Of long date at par, if he
can find the parties or capitalists to do that
without cost to the Treasury or country.
There needs no complicated Funding bill for
that. We should know, then, how far Mr.,
Boutwell's opinion and ability can be relied on.
We recommend some member Of Congress to
propose such simple joint resolution as q
substitute for the Funding bill, and, if passed,
to wait the result before there he any further
attempt at doctoring the national finances.

for their depredations on the purses Of the
canal boatmen. Their counsel was the in
cvitable Mr.. Howe, who finds no rascsliiy so

with characteristic impudence, wanted to know
why the Judge did not try some Of the Broad

The Judge told him he would try just then the
cases that were in court, and as for any others
be would take them as they came, and did not

denies in the most emphatic terms that Mr..

rebellion. He says that no such application
has been made by Mr.. Thoraton or any other

STATE TAXATION OF RAILROADS. The case
of the Union Pacific Railroad eastern Divi-
sion) against the treasurers of several counties
in Kansas, to restrain them from collecting
taxes under State laws, which has been for some
time pending in the United States Supreme
Court, was decided on Saturday last against the
company. Chief Justice Chase, in delivering
the opinion Of the Court, held that corpora
tions deriving their existence from State CHAR
ters were sinenable to all taxes imposed by
laws Of such States; that the several Pacific
railroad companies were local, not govern
ment institutions, and the fact that govern
ment granted such roads certain subsidies,
under certain stipulatious in no manner
exempted them from their State obligations.
This is sound reasoning, and such a decision
only could have been expected after the ruling
| OF the Court in the recent national bank
cases, where similar principle was involved.

How to Fatten a Poor Horse.


Many good horses devour large
quantities of grain or hay, and still
continue thin and poor; the food
eaten is not properly assimilated
If the usual feed has been unground
grain and hay, nothing but a change
will effect ally desirable alienation
in the appearance of the animal.
In case oil meal cannot be obtained
readily, mingle bushel of 1ax-seed
with bushel of barley, one of oats,
and another bushel of Indian corn.
and let it be ground into fine meal.
This will be a fair proportion for all
his feed. Or the meal or the barley.
oats and corn, in equal quantities
may first be procured, and one
fourth part Of oil-cake mingled with
it, when the meal is sprinkled on cut
feed.
Feed two or three quarts of the
mixture two or three times daily.
migfed with a peck of cut hay and
straw If the horse will eat that
greedily, let the quantity be gradu-
ally increased until he will eat four
or six quarts at every feeding three
times day. So long as the animal
will eat this allowance, the quantity
may be increased a little every day.
But avoid thepractice of allowing a
horse to stand at a rack well filed
with hay, In orderto fatten a horse
that has run down in flesh, the groom
should be very particular to feed the
animal no more than he will eat up
cleansand lick the manger for more.

The mitrailleuze, in size, IS about

a short distance, when mounted on
its small field carriage, very much
like an ordinary 6pounder. On clo-
ser inspection, it is noticed that the
gun is bored and rifled with 3 Z holes
of the diameter of the ordinary ser
vice rife barrel, all the holes radia-
ting from the center; and the breech,
though very different to other field
pieces and very novel, is still very
simply constructed and built. The
mode of firing is to drop into the
chamber in front of the breech a cir
cular plate of three-eighths ofan inch
thick, resembling a section, cut of
the muzzle end Of the gun, which
contains in each hole a cartridge and
ball much resembling that in use for
the Sneider, and when that is done
one turn Of q crank at the side of

and forces the cartridges into their

Care for the Chickens.

At this season, when work is driv
ing, the proper care of the chicken,
and fowls is too often abbreviated
and sometimes entirely neglected
The garden and field crops must be
protected, and the fowls are there
fore kept confined.
We always make a point of furn.
ishing the poultry with a generous
supply of short, sweet green grass
every night.
Another thing to be observed in
the care of poultry is that they are
furnished with good pure water in
abundance. Fowls are great drink
ers, and impure water is very iniur-
ious to them.
Every poultry house should re-
ceive at least two good coats of
white wash before next September.
A variety Of food is as necessary
to growing chickens as to fowls, and
young birds which hardlylive on a
continued diet of meal dough, will
leap ahead in their growth if furn-
ished with a different food each day.
