The City authorities who lease the ferries
have been prompt to take the hint which we
lately threw out as suggested by the English
management of street railways. They have
renewed the lease Of the Union Ferry Com
pany of Brooklyn for ten years at nominal
rent, on the condition that the ferriage between
and n o'clock, morning and evening, shall
be one cent instead of two cents. This is
for the benefit of the labOring classes, and is
a wise condition, for which the authorities
deserve thanks. But does the condition apply
only to the passengers who cross on foot 7
Are the poor truckmen who now pay extrava-
CANT rates of ferriage to derive no benefit from
this condition, or is the truckman who now
pays 20 cents fare to be carried during the
hours named at half fare2 We hope the au-
tborities will look to this matter before sign
ing the lease.
And now let us have the street cars regu-
lated in the interest of the public who travel
and not that of the Companies who profit by
them. Working people of New-York are most
uniustly taxed sevcn-cightls Of cent by the

DEATH AND JENRINS.

Some Jeames YellOwplush from the rural
regions, making his first visit to town the
other day, was fortunately hidden to o funeral,
and at the first sight of Death, in fashiona-
bic outfit, fell in love with it, and wrote home
a glowing description of the corpse la mode,
and his own enraptured feelings at behOlding
it. A more widely circulated organ of back
door literature in town has copied his rapt
effusion as model Of the fine writing and
delicate sentiment most in vogue with the
school for which it caters, and so has given
us the opportunity of witnessing at Sec
Ond hand the interview between Death and
the lackey. In every nation there is q
feeling implanted in the breast of even the
most idiotic or brutal which gives to Death its
awe and solemnity. "When God speaks, the
"kings of the earth keep silence" Jeames
alone, however, skips and frisks victoriousy
over any such old fashioned prejudices. The
ape OF fashion wears shield of vulgarity,
mail-prOOf against even Deaths arrows. He
repairs to the awful tryst with the dread
silent monarch on buoyant wings of expecta-
ton. 1t was given, he tells us, with an exut-
ant cacklc, in one of the largest and most
elegant houses in most fashionable thor
Oughfare.

footman-soul might have warned him to lay
his hand upon his mouth and know that the
place whereon he stood was holy ground.

dent only makes labor the catspaw OF capi'a''
I'll hosides its inherent injustice, IL ohly
.o,,norarv make-shift that must be rcsorteo
., With every natural decline OF rates. An
enduring modification of the mining region
satisfactory to both consumers and producers
must he sought for by very different and more
sensible methods.
Tho real trouble in the Pennsylvania fields
il tbe clashing of capital. The great corpora
tions known as the Lackawanna companies
having almost unlimited means, and owning
tbeir lines of transportation, so that they unite
the nrofts of producers and carriers, have q
yost advantage over the small firms and lndi-
vidual operators of Schuylkill, who must sub
NIT to the extortions of the Reading Railroad
in getting their product into market Lacha-
wanna can afford to establish rates by the auo-
tion sales in this city, which are ruinous W
Schuylkill, and the latter is forced 10 aoopc
measures which result in the dlsorganlza'oh VI
mining labor. The strike which ensues uraeS
thousands Of men, women ana cnliureh "
starvation. but after a time the rise In prices
attendant upon even partial stoppage OF pro-
duction permits the Schuylkill operators to
struople ON as before. Meanwhile the Lacka-
wanna companies, which are rarely without a
large surplus of mined coal, have solely
profted by the strike, as they never hesitate
to take advantage of enhanced prices, however
produced.
This game of cross-purposes by which the
wolf is kept at the door of $4,000 miners, and
by which the cost of a staple of life is unduly
and unnaturally increased to the consumer,
has been played over and over in the coal
fields. 1t is essential to the interests OF all
parties that it shall be made impossible OF
repetition, and it seems clear that this de-
sideratum can be had most surely by releasing
the lower anthracite fields from the incubus OF
the Reading Railroad. We are glad to kno"
that persons directly interested in the trade
are already acting on this opinion, and have
taken steps to secure the building of another
railroad connecting the lower fields with the
seaboard. When it is finished, and vigorous
competition in transportation established, there
will be a chance for the permanent pacificatlon
of the coal region. The Lackawana Companies
will still have o great advantage over then
competitors, but will no longer be able tt
drive laborers into idleness and rival operators
into bankruptcy.

Seriously, to put the Yellowplush reporters
aside for a moment, there is no place where
the tawdry vulgarity of half-educated people
is so grossly aggressive among us as IN the pres
ence of Death. The natural impulse OF the
refined or nobler nature is to go apart with
its dead, to hide from its fellOw-men where
only God can see its pain. So, doubtless,
it was in this case, dragged, with such vulgar
ity, before the public. But nowadays the
possession of a dead body seems often rather to
be accepted in house as an apology for calling
in the world to see our display OF money and
fashionable acquaintances. Not only is this
the case among the plebeian rich, but the in
fectiOn is spreading among those classes VINO
! have neither money nor the common sense to
keep them from such follies. A poor man has
hardly time to grieve for his dead wife oI
child, in the more exacting anxiety of finding
money to give them snowy funeral 1t Is
one of those subjects upon which sermons
however are useless. The man, rich or poor
who sacrifices his life to Mrs. Grundy will be
comforted in his death if sure Of her approval
of his exit. The only cure we see for the evil
is O few more letters from this Rutland re-
porter. Jeames as mourner would terufy

Justice trumphs ut last, in the case OF SUI
pervisor Foley. The canvassers who counted
in Henry Smith well knew that they were VI
olating the law, but they did not want to ad-
nit to the Board man who might be disa-
greeably inquisitive about Courthouse jobs
and matters of that sort. Mr.. Foley appealed
to the Courts, and the Ring followed him there,
determined to keep him out if possible. With
out single point of law in their favor they
depended first upon the fayOritism Of judges,
and finally upon wearying ndfrivolOus motions
to cause delay. Had not the Press denounced
the outrage, they would have succeeded in
preventing decision until the expiration Of
the Board. But public opinion is not yet pow
erless with the Bench. Judge Brady deserves
praise for doing his whole duty, and the Ring
has abandoned its useless opposition. All de-
cisions having been in Mr.. Foley's favor he
has taken the oath of Office and claimed
his seat in the Board. Now, if the Supervisors
choose to venture upon single act of de-
cency in this case, they will date Mr..
FOley's term back to the first of January, and
pay him the salary they have set apart for
Henry Smith. Mr.. Smith has not been legal
member of the Board since that date, and is
not entitled to the money. Mr.. Foley promises
to look after the interests of the people, and
we trust that he will devote all his time to
throwing light upon the doings, past and
present, of the most corrupt legislative BODY
ever known to our city.
New-York tribune., 1870-05-28

The American Unitarian Association, which
has just been in session in Boston, so far
yielded to what is considered the spirit of the
age as to place a woman upon tho Board of
Directors. While we highly approve of this,
and admit that we see no reason why women
should not cooperate with men in all religious
and benevolent work, we beg leave to point
out that changes of this kind have but little
bearing upon the question of Woman Suffrage.
To participate in the work of the churches,
even to the extent of statedly preaching, is
one thing; equal participation in the passionate,
often coarse and very often tumultuous, work
Of politics, Of craftsmanship, and of legisla-
ton, Is quite another. We do not say that
woman may not do this without damage TO
her womanly character and without injury to
her domestic relations; but we do say that
before 80 great change is made its magni-
tude should be understood.

Tile MINING TRQURI

A story that is more than q thrice told tale
comes from Pennsylvania of troubles among
the miners, resulting, as always before, in a
suspension Of labor more or less general
throughout the lower Anthracite region.
These suspensions, occurring at constantly
shortening intervals, threaten to terminate at
last in the paralysis Of q great industry.
and consequent loss and inconvenience TO the
whole upper Atlantic coast. which is depend
ent upon tho Pennsylvania fields for fuel.
The problem presented in these strikes ia.
therefore, one calling for grave consideration,
with view to the discovery and application
of way to avoid them in the future. The
public is so familiar with all the details of
the troubles in the coal fields that there should
be no difficulty in arriving at just conclusions
concerning them. The miners are doubtless
subject to hardships, which in certain portions
of the coal fields become most OnerOus when
coal declines to reasonable rate; but we
must deny that a strike for the purpose of
raising prices upon millions of consumers, the
vast majority being as needy as the miners, is
the proper means Of ameliOration. The eXpe-
New-York tribune., 1870-05-28

A correspondent who confirms all we have
published in regard to the execution OF Neyth
and Speakman in Cuba, and who informs us
further, at greater length than we can publish,
that Admiral Poor reported the execution as
an outrage thinks THE TRIBUNE inconsistent
in simultaneously urging the Government to
protect its citizens abroad, and reduce the
army and navy. We beg the writer to think
again, and, when he does, to go below the
surface of argument No government can hope
to maintain menacng fleet in all the ports
and waters of other Powers. No nation has in
fact any moral right to maintain such force
if it could, and Great Britain does not, as
our correspondent claims She does protect
her citizens, however by moral force, and so
ought the United States to do. England jeal-
ously guards her people and her flag from
insult; that jealousy is become a
national trait and no administration in En-
gland could endure day which disregarded
the call of an English subject for protection.
Her demands are prompt, instantaneous, and,
though at times overbearing and often unjust,
they are always respected because OF the
promptness with which they are made. We
have more than sufficient organized power to
enforce any and all demands. The difficulty
is we are not prompt, not positive, not terri
bly, in earnest in our demands. The protest
of an American Consul ought to be respected
as the voice of the American nation, and it
would be, if America was known to be as
ready to demand satisfaction as England Is.
The world knows we are equally able to en-
force our rights abroad and will not hesitate to
respect our wishes when positively expressed.
1t is a fault rather of national character than
of any temporary administration that our prac-
tice in this regard has been heretofore weak
and disgraceful.

thing to save it

The natural result of marching unuisci-
nliped men under inexperienced oihcers
against regular troops, thoroughly organ
;zod has befallen the Fenian expedition at
'FRONT.' River. At the first appearance and
fire Of the British Regulars the Feman
volunteers ran away. 1t was not an
act of cowardice on their part; it was not
triumph of superior bravery on that OF the
British. 1t was simply question OF disci-
pline. The latest facts reveal that the invasion
is over The poor, deceived fellows are back
again with little loss, and are not likely to be
again deceived.
1t is reported that the Canadians have
captured and are to hang Vermont teamster'
who was employed by the Fenians under ONen
TO convey their arms to the border. Or course
there is no defense for the act; the
President, by his Proclamation, announces
that the Government will not protect
the citizens who violate its laws as this man
has done; and there will be no official protest
against his execution. But the Canadian OoV-
ernment cannot afford to do this thing IL
will be not only an inhuman, but an lmpolluc
act. Canada can better afford to give the man
his liberty and return him to his family. The
nation which finished civil var lasting four
wears without the execution of single polltl-
cal offender can be trusted to appreciate such
an act of moderation. We hope tins insane
affair is not to end in insane vengeance

The bill to enforce the XVIII Amendment
has passed the House, and with the Presidents
signature, doubtless to be added without de-
lay it will become a law 1t was bitterly op-
posed by the members from this city, even
Representative Fox appearing in his place for
the first time in many months to protest
against this method of depriving the Democ-
racy of this State of their dear privileges of "re-
"peating' and false registering. The Democrats
in Senate and House have opposed the bill
with such unwonted vigor as reveals that
they recognize in it great curtailment of
their power and large reduction of their rep
resentatiOn. 1t may be well to remind certain
classes of our citizens that the penalties for
fraudulent registration or repeating" in
any form, whether by depOsiting bal
lots at more than one place OF by
personating another person, dead, living, or
fictitious, are fines not exceeding $500, and
imprisonment not exceeding three years, or
either. 1t is law, we are sorry to say, that
many Newly citizens will need to study,
and, if Mr.. Samuel Cox is to be credited, a
goodly number of Democrats in other cities
will likewise do well to ponder it.
