Poison IN THE Arg.-Under this head we pub
Iish this morning the result of careful analysis
OF the air of New York and Brooklyn, but more
particularly of the latter city. The report is
as instructive as entertaining. From it we
learn how much carbonic acid our children are
compelled to inhale at the public and private
schools, and how much we voluntarily breathe
al theatres and other public places There is
but little of pleasant character in the infor-
nation. Even the streets of the two cities are
filed with poisonous exhalations, while in pub
lie buildings the air is yet more dangerous to
health and life. 1t is TO be regretted that the
Board of Health did not extend the investiga-
tion to the air breathed by the denizens Of
tenement houses, for in these the ventilation
IS the most defective, and if in theatres, hoapi-
tails, churches and schools poisons abound,
what must the state Of the air be in the homes
Of the poor2

pet ward, viii be Of short duration. Such an
association must be repngnant to tho finer
feelings Of such men as Senator Creamer and
Senator Genet, however naturally restive
and combatiye the latter may be. As for
Senator Creamer, we would as soon look for
the mating together of the wolf and the lamb
as for an alliance between him and Mike
Norton, the acknowledged and recognized
leader of the worst rowdy element Of his dis
trict. Mikes little game Of ''strike" will not
succeed, and the sooner he recedes from his
present opposition to his party and to the
people the better it will be for him.
So much for the opposition, over which the
radical republican sheets, followed by the howl
ings OF the Manhattan Club organ, have been
sounding their paans of victory in anticipa-
tion Of the defeat of the peoples Magma Charta.
IT is not that we favor all the provisions in
detail contained Ia that instrument that we are
so anxious for its passage; nor would we COM
mend over-hasty legislation in the matter. The
manner Of electing the Board OF Supervisors
may call for special legislation by and by.
The extension of the Aldermanic term to two
years would come in better after we have had
a trial of the working of the proposed system
of election on general ticket, instead OF, as
heretofore, by districts. Should the Alder
manic Board be purified by this change in the
manner of election it viii then be time enough
for the citizens to consider the question Of ex-
tending the time of holding the office. Until
theft we would not favor departure from the
one year term.
What The people want. however, is restora-
ton of their just civic rights, of which they
have been so long deprived; and that is just
what the radical press is opposed to. The
opponents of the Charter have spread them
selves upon it at length, but it proves to them
a Trocrustean bed, upon which they wriggle
and writhe in all agony Of spirit. They see
in the fast-coIning future on end to partisan
rule and return to independent self-govern-
ment--to an administration Of municipal
affairs such as existed here thirty-fve years
ago, when it was not only an honor to be q
city official, but when that honor was aspired
to and sought after by the best and worthiest
citizens of New York. Such government
the people anxiously desire to have restored
to them, and they hail as the first promise
thereof the Introduction before democratic
Legislature of the new Magma Charta of 1870.

advertising speculative concern from the outset.
M. Victor Noir and Pierre Bonaparte, and
Noir's funeral and the funeral Grafton, and ths
multitude" and all the rest were sacrificed,
embroiled, spoken, agitated and arranged
pretty much as advertising feelers and for
joint stock profit. Rochefort's effects arc
under seizure, and even his stipend as q
member Of the Legislature distrained for the
sum Of sixty-six thousand francs, money
advance and damages, claimed by and
adjudged to the spectators. Rochefort is now
an object of pity.

FERNANpo's LITERARY TAsTE.-Fernando
Wood has made small onslaught on the Con-
gressional Library and its librarian because he
finds on the shelves some account of his per-
sonaI history. 1t is not stated what the book
was, or what particular peccadillo or mental
or moral characteristic ii reflected upon, and
therefore it cannot be judged whether
Fernando's objection is altogether sound.
Still we are glad to see signs that Congress
men have penetrable skius. What might not
happen if they saould all become thus sensi-
tive to reproof!

archical tyranny, aud that on American
soil! Yet IL is o fact The whole conduct of
the government with regard to Cuba proves it.
The best friends Of Spanish despotism and the
worst enemies of Cuban freedom are the men
who control the government-snch men as
Sumner, Fish, Hoar, Boutwell, and others
men who heretofore have been most vociierons
in the cause of freedom.
Whatever pretended Investigations may take
place relative to the late outrage ut Havana
upon our citizens we have no hope OF anything
being done to exact justice or to prevent the
recurrence Of similar outrages. There may be,
possibly, some pretended trial Of parties in
Havana for the outrage, either Of the erimi-
nails themselves or of other criminals that
may be substituted as scapegoats, and there
will be- no doubt, good deal Of diplomatic
palaver to save Spain and the Spanish autho-
rites on one hand and to humbug the Ameri-
can people on the other; but that will be all
Captain General Rodas and tho Spanish gov
ernment are responsible, but the administra-
ton will not hold them to that responsibility,
The brutal volunteers will continue to outrage
and insult American citizens and will remain, as
they are, the ruling power at Havana. The
Spanish government, bad as it has been at oil
times in Cuba, has been virtually deposed by
worse one. The only real government there
now claiming to be under the Spanish flag is
revolutionary one-the government of the vol
unteers. Mr.. Secretary Fish is trembling now
even, according to news from Washington, at
the chance of war with Spain in consequence
Of Senator Sherman's resolution to grant bel
iigerent rights to tho Cnbans. From fear Of
this the whole influence Of the administration
will be used, it is said, to prevent the adoption
Of that resolution. What can be expected
from government that can act 80 cowardly?
There is no soul, no lofty patriotism, no sym
pathy with republican freedom, and no states
manship in it.

THE FRANKING PRIVILEGE. publish
elsewhere an exposition Of the great expense
to which the government is put by the franISing
privilege. 1t not only entails loss upon the
mail service OF some two hundred thousand
dollars or more per anuum, but it is also the
cause of an immense amount Of printing at
the public expense, which would never have
been ordered by Congress had the members
been compelled to pay their own postage.

Our Mexican News.

The situation Of affairs in Mexico Is growing
more and more Responding. Aguirre, in San
Luis Potosi, still defes the government,
defeats it's generals and adds new supporters
to his cause daily. II would almost seem az
if the power of the Executive were paralyzed.
Aguirre recently defeated the national troops
under General Rocha, who lost nearly all his
artillery. The Governor Of Zacatecas has
not only refused to acknowledge the general
government, but has actually pronounced
against the Executive, and declares in his free
State proclamation that 'the decrses passed
at Paso del Norte on November 8, 1865, by
Don Benito Juarez, and by virtue Of which he
retains his power, are declared to be attacks
on the national sovereignty, and he is not
recognized as President of the Mexican repub-
lic" Nor does the Governor stop here, as far
ther down in his proclamation he comedies
general amnesty throughout the republic for
all political offences" This is liberty with
vengeance. His Excellency Is equally daring
in his manner of securing finances for carrying
out his measures In answer to the demand to
give up the conducta, containing seventy-one
thousand dollars, intended for the payment of
the national troops, and which was seized ON
its way to the capital, he replied by forcing
from the people of the State a sum Of money
amounting to over one hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars.
Among the reports current in the city Of
Mexico at the date of our last correspondence
from there was one to the effect that the Pre-
sident was preparing to send his family out Of
the country. This rumor was evidently put
into circulation by the enemies Of Juarez and
in the interest Of his opponents, who calculate
making capital out Of 1t. The unsettled stats

Report of their Joint Committee on Reconsruc
tion
The report fixed the boundaries of the various
synods by State and counties. 1t recommended
that the Assembly reconstruct boundaries of the
different Presbyteries according to the following
principles: That each Presbytery be defined by
geographical boundary; that the Presbyteres be en-.
lsrged, and the formation of small ones discour-
aged none hereafter to be formed to consist of less
than five minister's that in the present distribution
or in the future formation of Synods no Presbyery
shall consist of less than ten, except in missionary
districts; that each large city shall constitute one
Presbytery that churches in different geographical
locations having one minister shall belong to the
Presbytery of the ministers long as he continues
pastor that ministers without charges shall belong
to the Presbytery within the limits of which thew
ordinarily reside; that the present Synods and Pres
byteres on reorganization, shall be considered as
continuing their succession in that Synod or Pres
bytery which now includes the largest portion of the
body as existing day. A change in the represen.
tation to Synods and the Assembly is not recon-
mended at present.

II advises the payment of all cash premiums, be-
cause then dividends will continually decrease each
next payment until nothing will be required and the
policy may be source of income; but 1t will allow
one third loan on participating Policies. Parties
who fail 70 pay all cash premiums will please re.
member their cash payments are not likely to de-
crease, and that interest is to be paid annually on
all loans not absorbed by dividends.
1t requires no notes for loans of the part of pre-.
miums but endorses the loan on its policies until
absorbed by-dvidends, or policy is payable.
1t has no restriction on residence or travel. All
policies are non forfeitable and the right of par.
ties guaranteed ON the face Of the policy, as part of
the contract.
It has the following valuable feature which no
other company gives: The late war taught many the
penalty of being separated from the Home Office by
having their past payment forfeited. This Com
pany guards against this in her policies, and in
event of separation from its office by any interview
ton, guarantees to such all the right of non-forfei
ture paid up policy surrender value and reinstate-
ment as though there had been no such Intervening
