plicable to the Vanderbilt roads for
none of the three Vanderbilt roads wanted it
or took any advantage of it.. IL is useless to
cite precedents for what is beneficial in one
case is destructive in another. The ancient
iurist used to begin his investigations with
the query chi bono ?-who would profit by the
deed in dispute And when we find law
made by a corrupt Legislature and signed by
slayish Governor for the exclusive advant-
age of clique of the most unprincipled inan-
cial adventurers whom the world ever
saw.-a law avowedly framed to ena-
BILE these men to override the will of
the stockholders whom they are supposed to
represent,-it is insulting our intelligence to
point to other laws of similar wording passed
under totally different circumstances and work
ing totally different results The classification
laws of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, and other
States were framed in the interests of stock
holders The classification bill to which Gov.
Hoffman put his signature was framed in the
interests of corrupt and debauched Ring, and
for the purpose of excluding stockholders from
the management of their own property. We
must hold, with The World of last February,
that the Erie bill "organized monstrous in
"justicen and is "simply indefensible."

At the Midalesex Mass. Agricultural Fair on
the 21st nit, there were, OF course, hofSe-races
but there vas something, better, VIZ: foot
races for prizes of small SANS of money, the
half mile being accomplished by one competi-
tor in 2:20 and by another in 2:34 There il
something sensible in the idea of bringing up
the wind and muscle OF farmers, for they
need both; but what possible connection there
is between farming and fast horses, we are
quite urable to conjecture. Yet we are obliged
to repeat the observation which We made
early il the -easOn--tbat at a majority of the
agricultural fairs, trOttiEg matches are appar
emily tho gceat attraction. The yeoman who
brings pair of fat Drrilams, weighing per-
haps 5000 pounds, is NJ, half SO great a man
as tio half farmer End half jockey who
exhibits IA Ethan Al!sn colt of surp&ssing
promise.

The rumOr of further assassinations of for
eigners in China is not pleasant to hear, nor
encouraging to those who believed that the
gates of the East would, ere this have been
thrown open by the success of the industrial
and commercial enterprises inaugurated in that
direction. But the rumOr requires confrma-
ton; it comes from English sources not
wholly trustworthy, since England has sought,
and is now seeking, an excuse for further
aggressive acts in China. The report that the
Chinese authorities are assembling an army
between Tien-Tsin and Pekin for the protec-
ton of foreigners is much more likely to be
true than the story of the same dispatch that
there have been further riots.

ATOTD, WHAT THE ENEMY UANTS.

The Depulaican CO.nmittee meets tonight
and is expected to eonsides the question Of
local nominations
The Republican vote in the City Of New
York ranges from thirty -fvo to fO1ty-five thoa-
sand. The Democratic vote is honestly from
sixty 90 seventy thousands; and it has been
counted by Democratic Inspectors anywhere
up &c one hundred and twelve thousand. The
one task, therefore, of abe Esen who manage
the Democratic party II to keep up an oppo-
ton, under pressure Of which they lay be
able to hold taeir forces together. Let Repub-
licans only make strict party NOMINATIONS,
which dissoJifed Democrats cannot possibly
support, and they are safe.
The Republicans in case of serioas Demo-
cratic divisions, ought to hold the balance of
power. They might not be able to secure Re-
publican Office holders, which la any event
| seems an impossibility, but they ought TO ot
| able 70 secure an improved city government
which after all is, in city politics, the highest
aim they can cherish. They might, besides
so manage their forces as to gain, by theiI
action in city affairs, votes for theh
State ticket. There is scarcely limit
to the power Of compact, well-dis-
ciplined and well-handled minority. In
Ohio, a ridiculous handful deiied the Whg
party, and cOercing Democrats to their aid
sent the Aboliti0nist, Salmon p. Chase, to the
United States Senate. In New-York, q com.
paratiyely small body of foreigners, of ont
particular nationality and faith, has been abb,
to shape the policy of great party, breal
{ down essential features of the Common
5 School system and mold the politics of The
Empire State. Equally striking Instance
might be gathered from the political history
D OF every section.
But the forty thousand Republican votes o
e tins city may be made as impotent as the!
r ought to be powerful. Only serve notice OF
= our antagonists that we mean to take no ad
e vantage OF their divisions that we have NJ

Justice Ingraham has been compelled to ad-
vert, in his charge to the Grand Jury, to the
startling increase of lawlessness among us. and
ascribes it to the prevalence of intoxication.
Both are facts beyond Democratic denial, and
both are the direct results of Tammany's rule.
Last year, when we had the Metropolitan
Excise aud Police laws, Democracy was
hampered indeed, but vice and turbulence
were kept within reasonable bounds. We
warned the Legislature of what would follow
the repeal of those wholesome statutes, but
the reality has exceeded our expectations.
How much longer is the iron hoof of Tam
many to trample out everything good in the

The resolutions adopted by the Massachu-
setts Republican Convention yesterday will
strike readers generally as an admirable plat
form for the struggle in that State. The
economy with which the National and State
finances have been managed; the proposed
funding of the debt; the protection of
newly -enfranchised citizens; the enforce
ment of the Alabama claims and
the Anti-License resolutions, form a code
OF principles which the Republicans OF
that State will heartily approve and adopt.
The denomination of Gov. Clafin, and the
nomination of Joseph Tucker, Oliver Warner,
and others, viii strengthen the party for
the present canvass. TIE Convention
refused pointedly to adopt resolution
pledging the party to Woman Suffrage.
This decision seems less the result of indis-
position on the part Of the members than the
consequence of a long speech ly one of the
most persistent and prominent Of the ladies
engaged in the agit@ion. At itr conclusion
the Convention appears to have changed its
first thought.

other powers Of Europe until the moment she
is ready to move with crushing force against
the selected victim. That it is not against
Prussia is still further assured by positive
reports of the utter failure of NJ. Tbierss mis-
son That it is not against Turkey would
seem to be as certainly assured by the official
announcement vouchsafed by Russia of her
peaceful intentions were it not a part of the
ancient and well-known Russian policy to con-
ceal her preparations by just such specious
promises. We should be glad to believe that
Aexanderis is wiser in this regard than his pre-
decessors but as long as brisk preparations of
war proceed, promises like these will be thought
idle

Three murder trials yesterday occupied the
Courts OF this city. The condition to which
Ianmany rule has reduced metropolitan
morals Is truly deplomble, and suggests San
Francisco vigilance if not San Francisco vio-
lence With an additional force of one thou
sand policemen, and blessed with Judges who
propose to sit continuously in judgment for
the next generation, one would naturally sup
pose that crime and criminals ought to rapidly
decrease. But this fatal fact disturbs the most
sangulne expectations. The new police are
too apt to be recruited, through political favor
from among the very immoral not to say
openly criminal, class which manufactures our
Judges, Mayors, and ali that pleasant crew
who are fast wrecking the ship, and will then
be ready TO strip her like 30 many political
smugglers and wreckers.

Everything is in readiness for the bomoard-
ment or the assault of Paris. SO the Berlin
telecrams inform us. This is not unlikely, and if
il has been the serious intention of the Ger
mans to undertake the reduction or destruc-
ton of the city by violence, we may expect to
learn soon that the effort has been made.
The storming of Fort Mont Valerien or of
Fort De Issy will be dangerous and des-

with which habitual readers of The World

debate whether it can be the same paper it
used to be few weeks ago. Even on the
subject of Cuba it has undergone complete
metamorphoss. AS witness the following:
