Next 10 honest elections nothing is perhaps
so urgently needed in this city as some means
of rapid transit from one end of the island to
the other. Possibly we may have to wait for
an arcade, or underground, or other railroad
till our ballot-boxes are purified but if meet
ings similar to that of the citizens of York
vile and Harlem could only be multiplied, and
the popular feeling find expression in some
thing more tangible than mere discussions and
resolutions, the hard-working man would not
be compelled to spend so much of his time in
our snail-like street cars, going to and from
his place of business.

Whatever may prove to be the ultimate
weight or significance of the nomination made
for the Mayoralty last night by the Young De-
mocracy, it cannot be denied that they have put
up a candidate whom Republicans would have
some reason to prefer to the one with whom
Tammany is to match him. Judge Ledwith is
a respectable man the organs OF his own
party have never been driven, for very shame
TO denounce him as a shameless corruptlon-
" list of the Ring" and he has the merit OF
being outside the Tammany gang.

In spite of the precautions of the Health
Officer to confne the yellow fever to Quaran-
tine, two deaths from this disease are to-day
reported from Bellevue Hospital. One of these
is pronounced doubtful, but the other is ac-
knowledged to be a clear case of this deadly
fever. While there is no cause for alarm, in
view of the advanced state of the season, and
the preventive measures which the Board OF
Health has taken, the fact of the disease
having obtained foothod in the city should in
cite the authorities to increased vigilance,
promptness, and perseverance in arresting its
further progress.

The course of The World with reference to
the new election law is disgrace to the pro-
fession of journalism. Having taken time, az
it promised, to "coOlly digest well-weighed
"plan of resistance it now deliberately ad-
yises the repeaters to go ahead in their old
fashion and not fear for the consequences.
Neither the Marshal nor his deputies can
"touch person in the act of voting. They
"may indeed aITes. him afterwards; but not
:" until a sworn complaint has been made be-
"fOre a United States Judge or Commissioner,
"and this Judge or Commissioner has issued
"his warrant commanding the arrest. By that
"time the alleged offender, Thether innocent or
"g,iIty, pW hare left the polling place.n The
World then announces that the law is uncont
stitutiOnal, and will be fought in the courts if
there be an attempt to punish anybody under
it, and in fine that the State and City authori-
ties "have clear perception of their rights,
"and, what is more spirit and vigor to enforce
"them and punish trespassers." The mean
ing of this "well- weighed advice is but too
plain. The Tammany voting cohorts are to
perpetrate their shameless and cunning
frauds just as usual; they may be detected,
but the rote WiH be got in, and Mr.. Tweed will
not let them suffer for their gallantry in the
service of the party. The Democracy have
committed many bold outrages in New-York,
but they have never made such frank avOwal
of purposed crime as this.
New-York tribune., 1870-10-11

Probably not one Of the French statesmen
who now demand that Germany shall lay down
her arms because Napoleon has been forced to
lay down his crown, would have hesitated mo-
ment TO attack Prussia had it rested with them
in July to decide for peace or war. There
was indeed slight opposition to the declara-
ton of hostilities but it was only because
Theirs and a few others saw that France was
not vet ready-not because the war was unjust
and unprovoked. The possession OF the Kline
frontier has been the dream of every Govern
ment which has ruled in France during this
century. Liberals, mOnarchsts, imperlaliSts,
all alike, have been ready to fight for it. The
last scheme of the BOurbOns, just before the
unsuccessful attempt at a coup P@tdt by which
Charles X. lost his throne, was plan for
the prosecution of this popular design, and 1t
would probably have been carried out, I'M
mediately after the conquest Of Algeria, had
not the dynasty been OyertbrOwn. Charles
had secured the cooperation Of Russia, whom
he was to help in extending her frontier
toward COnstantinOple, and it was arranged
between the cabinets of Paris and st. Peters
burg that, in the FINAL disposition OF territory
after the war, Prussia should be pacitied by
receiving the gracious permission of the allies
to take half of Hanover, and Holland should
be compensated for the loss Of Belgium with
the other half. 1t was the discovery OF this
secret treaty which made Great Britain so
prompt to recognize the Government OF LOUIS
Philippe.

What Tammany has made of the elections
in the Erie RailI cad by its Erie bill, and what
it seeks to make of the elections in New-York
City, are things so nearly alike that the one sug
gests the other. "A Shareholder" in another
column puts in an earnest protest against the
injustice to which he and his associates have
been subjected in the refusal of an opportu-
nifty for inspecting the transfer books,
in the closing of the books to them for the
transfer of stock, in the continuance of trans
fers in the interest of the Ring, and, finally,
in the Lseizure of 10000 shares of stock
presented for transfer and its forcible deten-
tion. Nothing could well be more outrageous
but it viii excite 10 surprise, and We fear
viii provoke little comment. The mcn who

If a swarm of deputy marshals try to pre-

to arrest them and have them locked up. The

The seizure by the British crown of some
lanGs near London belonging to the late George
Peabody, recently reported by telegraph, $ a
most singular and unexpected commentary on
the matches benefits conferred by the deceased
philsnthropist on the laboring classes of Eng
land, and the act Is one which is not likely at
trst thought to win much credit for that country
IN any quarter. 1t is possible, however, that
this course was necessary to comply with long
and well established statutory requirements; and
as crown lands have been voted away before
this, IL is also possible that when the royal title
TO the property in question has been perfected
IN this manner the crown will make over its
right and interest in it to the estate Of the dead

CUMBERLAND VALLEY RAILROAD ExTEy-
SION IN NIRGINIA.-The annual report of the
president Of the Cumberland Valley Railroad
contains the following reference to the proposed
extension of that road across the Potomac and
up the Valley OF Virginia: So The resolutions of
the Board to extend their road from Hagerstown
to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal have been
already communicated to you, and since August
last the work was let to a contractor under
terms satisfactory, and he is now engaged i'm
constructing it. The grading and making the
road bed ready for the superstructure will cost
about 500 900, and the rails, ties, water stations
&c, about $4,000. and We expect to have the
same completed and in running order by the LIST
OF July next This extension has been located
to terminate at Powell's Bend of the Potomac
river, with a branch to Williamsport, distance
OF about two miles; but since this location a
movement has been made by the people of Vir-
ginia for a further extension OF the road up
through the Valley OF their State. by the way OF
Martinsburg and Winchester, or by the way of
Charlestown and the Luray Valley. Our action.
therefore, a. 10 the terminus on the Potomac
will be suspended a few weeks to meet this ext
gency, and until they shall have determined the
route Tor the further extension of the road, for
each of the proposed routes demands different

The REORGANIZATION OF THE DISTRICT Gov
ERNnKNT-The Department Journal, treating
upon the disadvantages under which the District
labOrs as at present governed, says:
"The welfare Of this community is consigned
to the two committees on the District Of Column
bia, the chairman Of each residing a thousand
miles from here, and the average distance Of the
residence of the entire committee Il probably
still greater. As long as this state of affairs ex-
lists all efforts to make the capital the literary.
scientific and political centre Of the nation will
fail.
partial remedy Is to give the District Ter
ritorial government, with the rights powers and
privileges of the Territorial legislature and a
delegate to Congress. If We have no vote we
will at least have voice, If District matters are
pending.
But the sending Of Delegate is minor con-
sideraticn, to the fact that Territorial Legisla
ture could incorporate companies, and do other
beneficient local legislation to which no one
objects, but which is utterly neglected because
Congress feels not q sufficient interest In their
passage.
We entreat Congress most earnestly to rid
Themselves of opportunities in behalf of
measures in which they feel but a remote inter-
est, by giving permission to the people to govern
themselves, subject to the annulment by Con-
gress in case a wrong has been committed At
present the blight Of acknowledgements is the
most serious Of all the disadvantages Of the
capital"

The resolution which passed the New York
Legislature few days ago, requiring members
centesting seats to bear their own expenses,
might with great propriety be adopted by Con-
gress. If this was understood to be the rule. we
should hear far less of contested seats in that
body than now, and the Government would be
spared many bills of expense. The knowledge
that his expenses will be paid, and that If he
loses his case he has a chance for a liberal per
diem allowance, has no doubt had the effect to
induce men to contest the right Of sitting
member on very slight grounds, and without a
reasonable prospect of success. A game in
which everything is to be gained and nothing
lost is always sure to be popular.
