IN UGLY LOOKING BILL.

Mr.. John Il. Hoffman, in his Annual Mes
sage, warned the Legislature against the tend
ency of the times to special legislation. He
stated that he had last Winter vetoed several
bills because of their special character and
strongly intimated that he ought to have
vetoed many more on the same ground-and
herein the public fully agrees with him. In de-
fance of his excellent precepts and his lean per-
formance. no less than nine hundred and tioenty
acts became laws at the last session, which is at
least eight hundred too many. Most of them
were designed TO effect some end of purely
personal interest at the expense Of the general
public. What is called private bill will have
cost the State at least 800 by the time it has
been duly perfected; whereas, it is seldom
worth ten cents TO any but its special pro-
moters, and is often a positive injury and
wrong to the community. Every Constitution
is framed with intent to diminish special legis-
lation but avarice and selfshness manage to
circumvent the People, and special legislation
still hourishes in immortal youth, Governors
Messages to the contrary Notwithstanding
We have a Metropolitan Police system wisely
framed and in the main, faithfully executed.
1t superseded the least efficient, most useless
Police in Christendom by one which has few
equals. Formerly, our Policemen were the
mere Janizaries of the dominant party; since
1861, they have been the ministers of the law.
The essence of the Metropolitan system is
permanence in position based on independence
of politics. Our Police, from Commissioners
down to the doorkeepers of station-houses, are
citizens, and vote as citizens with which
ever party, for whichever candidates, they
severally prefer; but they are bound to know
no party in the performance of their official
duty. To put this beyond contingency, the
Commissioners, who appoint and displacc all
below them, are forbidden to be candidates
for Office; if nominated, they must decline; if
voted for, the votes cast for them are abso-
lutely void. Such is the law; such it ought TO
be. A Commissioner or Chief of Police using
his official power to elect himself to some high
Office is just what the system was instituted to
prevent.
Yet ut our last State election Mr. Henry

of all modern civilization. The report of
the Massachusetts, Commissioners is at least
step in the right direction, iDasmuch
as it intelligently and fearlessly discusses
great questions. How the railroads will like it
remains to be seen. AS a rule, they by no
means encourage debate on these subjects they
revel in ignorance and encourage q great re-
spect for vested rights, which, indeed, were
never vested il them. The Massachusetts, Com
missioners have only entered on their work, and
it may well be questioned whether they fully
appreciate its magnitude They begin with
confidence and an evident desire honestly and
fearlessly TO ascertain the truth. How far Will
they be able to carry on their discussion
Commissions enough and to spare have else
where and heretofore been created to consider
these questions, and with very unsatisfactory
results; where they have not been silent, they
have been abolished. This newest experiment
in the old line deserves to be watched with
interest. A few more reports like the present
will throw q great deal of light into places
now dark it yet, however, remains to be seen
how much light the people of Massachusetts,
are prepared to receive, as well as how much
the corporations of that State are disposed TO

Smith. one of the four Commissioners, was the
Republican candidate for Supervisor, and. as
such received nearly one-third Of the votes cast
several thousands more than any other Du' inc
regular Tammany candidate. Hereupoh' !"
open, Ostentatious defiance OF the ia"' tho
votes cast for him were counted, and' Oh lho
strength of them, Mayor Hall appointed MN
a Commissioner! Mr.. John Foley, VINO re-
ceived the highest vote below smiths III
vain tried to interpose some legai oo,
stacle: tho Board of Supervisors would
not hear him; the Mayor told linn lie
was too late-he (Oakey) had already
appointed Smith, though the canvass had bare
ly been completed. Applying next to the Al
torney General, he was put off and Kept out
of the remedy he sought, until at length our
master of the laws gravely advised him that
bin had been submitted to tho Legislature 10
cure the defect in Smiths title to the Office, so
he would do nothing We presume that was
the first time that an Attorney General ever
refused to enforce law on the plea that some
one had proposed its overthrow
The bill thus presented is now before the
Assembly, and has been favOrably reported for
action. 1t is of course a confession that, as
the law stands, Mr.. Smith has no right to the
oflice-that the law commanded Mayor Hall to
appoint, not Henry Smith, but John Foley,
Supervisor. Throughout the canvass, we were
assured that the fact was otherwise-that some
amendment had been made by subsequent
act that would enable Mr.. Smith to take and
hold the office. This bill puts that pretense to
open shame. Mr. Smith can only be SUPER
visor by virtue of an act yet to be pasSed-ln
other words, he must be legislated into Office,
in defiance of most righteous and salutary
provision of the Metropolitan Police act. And
such legislation the Republicans in both Houses
are expected to aid. because Mr.. Smith is
Republican.
If they do this, they authorize and justify the
utter subversion of the just and wholesome
basis on which orr system is founded-that OF
keeping our Police free from politics and per-
sonal aspiration TO overrue this restriction
now is to nullfy it forever, and make our
Police a facile instrument in the hands OF
Oakley Hall and the Tammany Ring We trust
no Republican, and no champion OF good gov
ernment here, will so vote. The law is right /;
the inhibition of politics and obice-seeking In
the control of the Police, is most necessary
and the Legislature will do this City gricvous
wrong if it favors its repeal or relaxation. Hold

New-York tribune., 1870-01-31

The Spanish Consul at this port publicly
denies the news Of Gen. Puello's defeat. How
much this rebutting witness deserves credit we
shall not attempt to mete out exactly; but If
the testimony of Gems Letona and Buceta
concerning tho "moral policy" of hard lying
adopted in Havana be of any worth, then
Spain is herself responsible for all the doubt
which may attach to her official utterances.
Unhappily for any attempt to make the Span
ish side Of the question trustworthy, the Cap
tain General has, by a late exploit of untruth-
fulness. made that effort of desperate daring
next to impossible. Madrid has just recovered
from fit of premature Mysteries over the close
of the Cuban rebellion. AS we read in the Inde-
pendencia EspaaOla it was telegraphed thither,
on January 3, that the self-styed Gen. Ces-
"pedes, with 1900 of his men, had surrendered
cat Las Tunas." Such was the effect of this
news that lin Santander the poor Spaniards
threw out flags and banners and had a general
illumination. Of course, as every particle OF
news telegraphed from Havana must pass
through the hands of q censor, the Captain
General was the parent and distributor of these
falsehoods 1T is possible that the people of
Spain have come to see how badly they have
been fooled but no one can pretend to say
that the Captain eneral has yet discovered
how unutterably stupid it is to govern by fraud
and carry on war by falsehOod.

TN, 81 Louis Republican saws

"Mr Greeley knows that the negro aud two White men
whom the Legislature OF Mississippi has elected 10 the
Senate represent tho people of that state than
they do the inhabitants Of the Cannibal Islands"
All depends, you see, on whom you con-
slider "people.' The TRIBUNE regards those
who till the soil and grow the crops of Missls-
sippi as Il part of her "people" The Reputh-
can restricts the designation to those who own
the lands and hire the laborers whom they
used to buy. THE TRIBUNE has the same rule
for Mississippi as for Virginia. and insists, with
regard to each, that the will of the lawfully
voting majority shall be established. The Re-
publican 'concurs wherever its party triumphs,
That is the difference.
New-York tribune., 1870-01-31

Who shall say that the days of chivalry are
past, after seeing the glowing Goladay bound
to the rescue Of the marvellous Mungen In
such mpassOned STYLE 1t was but as yester-
day that Mungen mounted to public view as
tho apostle of reputation in the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES and stood alone upon that
bad eminence, denied and derided by his pOlit-
ical kindred But the guileless Goladay, rush
ing to share the Mungen perils and honors,
ondoavors to drag the whole Democratic party
up with him, insisting that they are believers
in the creed Of national grand larceny, but
lack the courage to ayOw the faith that is in
them. Golladay being a Democrat thought
himself sure of Democratic instincts, but being
bearded by Messrs. Eldredge and Voorhees,,
proceeded to defy those gentlemen and the
world, morally, socially, politically, and intel
"lectualy." This comprehensive defiance Is
undoubtedly expressive of the unalterable
Mungen- G olladay determination that the debt
shall be repudiated. We admit the gravity of
the occasion, but yet hesitate to advise the
bloated bondholders to sacrifice their property.
Mungen and Goladay may reent; thieves
have often been so touched by the helpless
ness of their selected victim as to stay their
despoling hands Upon the whole, it may be
as well to keep the bonds, and give Mungen
and Goladay a chance to be magnanimous.
New-York tribune., 1870-01-31

The unprovoked murder of Mr.. Townsend,
while trying to prevent intrusion upon his
property-a father stabbed through the heart
in presence of his young chlGren-is crime
that ought to meet with immediate punishment.
The failure to discover the murderer of Mr..
Rogers, and the score of failures to bring
to punishment other assassins, have given a
feeling of impunity to the dangerous classes,
and the bloody record of the city since
the opening of the year is terrible
to contemplate. The laws ostcnsibly for
the protection of honest people too
often protect criminals, and it has come to be
dangerous to attempt to check the career of
any rufiian whose drunken impulse is to use
the knife and pistol. If few of these crimi-
nails could be made to suffer the extreme PEN
atty of their acts before the burial of their
victims, We might hope to awe their fellows
into something like regard for their necks, if
not for the laws of the State. This latest
offender should be the earliest example.
