THAT HORRIBLE AFFAR.-Now and then
an incident comes up that gives such fright
full glimpse of the darker side of city life as the
lightning gives Of some frightful region Of pit
falls and precipices and indescribable terrors..
Such is the incident of the two found in the
area way in Bleecker street at daylight on Mon
day morning. They were drunken companions
of the night before-a man and woman.
They had reeled through the streets, following
debauch from one arena of s'delight" to another,
and so had reeled down an open area way,
and there they were quiet for hours, and when
they were found the man was dead and the
woman was sound in drunken sleep on the
dead body of her comrade. Fortunately such
cases Of intensified contrast between the plea
sure sought and the death found are rare ever
here.

Tho Piers and Wharves-The New Dock
Commission.

THO Piers and Wharves-The New Dock
There Is probably no commission created
by the City Charter more important than that
Of docks, which has just organized and, we pre-
sumo, is ready to enter at once upon Its
duties. The condition of our wharves and
piers has been for years standing disgrace
to the city. The meanest maritime town in all
the world has moro accommodations for ship
ping, according to its capacity, than this great
seaport, which possesses more facilities than
any other city on either Continent We look
now to the new commission to construct docks
adequate to the wants of the metropolis, and we
have some reason to hope for this result from
the character of the men SO wisely selected by
the Mayor. They all have an intimate know
ledge Of the business requirements of the port
in its relation to foreign commerce. They
comprehend exactly the evil of our present
system of piers and wbarves and the necessity
of total reform. Such men as Wilson G.
Hunt, John T. Agnew, Hugh Smith, William
Wood and Richard M. Henry are not likely to
make any mistakes and the public can fully
trust them with the critical and arduous duties
entrusted to them
These gentlemen have to begin at the begin
ming, and give us girdle of iron or stone
docks clear round from the Battery on both
rivers The wooden structures erected a
quarter of century ago have melted away into
pestiferous nuisance. They stand to-day as
monumental warning that nothing Of
that kind will suit the present times.
We want piers that will not require
patching from day to day, but some
thing that will endure for all time, like the
fame of the metropolis itself. No doubt the
new commissioners understand this, and, in
the performance Of their duty, they will be
guided thereby. Havre and Liverpool, with
less opportunity than we possess, have con-
structed magnificent docks, the wonder and
ornament of those cities. We should have
stone piers running out into our rivers, with
fine warehouses on each side, every pier
forming commodious street. The piers
should be built on arches, leaving q free
passage for the tide underneath, and thus
offering no obstruction to the proper sewer
age of the city. This plan would lead to
many improvements in neighboring streets
in the erection of splendid warehouses, and
would enhance the value of property greatly
in the vicinity of the river front. None of
these points, we presume, will be overlooked
by the intelligent gentlemen who compose
the Dock Commission. They will observe
that these improvements are essential to the
growing magnitude Of the city.

PROGRESS OF TaE EERsLD.

During the last week the average daily mass
of advertisements in this journal Of all descrip
tions was about forty-three columns, or some
thing over seven compact pages in small type
greater average than that of any preceding
week since the issue of our first number.
In corresponding ratio our daily circula-
tion has been and continues to be steadily and
rapidly increasing.
In its advertisements and circulation, the
HERALD having been for many years recog-
nized reflex and index Of the prosperity and
expansion of this great commercial and finan-
cial metropolis and Of its fluctuations in
business affairs, we may submit our enlarging
prosperity of this season as fair indication Of
. general revival of business here and through
out the country.
From present appearances, looking at the
Growth of the city itself, and of its surround

MURDER IN SALT LAKE CITY.-Captain W.
r. Strong, Deputy United States Marshal, was
shot and killed in Salt Lake City on Monday
by desperate, whom he was about to arrest.
We do not believe that any significance attaches
to the murder beyond what would attach to It
under any circumstance bat, situated just as
the Mormons are, all such disorderly proceed
ings in their midst are particularly unfortunate.
People in Congress and out may adduce
moral from them not at all healthy to Nor

A STORY COMES from Monticello, Kansas,
which recalls the most fearful features Of the
old days of blood in the Southwest. Two
influential citizens of that town, having quar-
relied, fought the old traditional duel with
knives and pistols In dark room. When the
door was broken open one Of them was found
with his throat cut and the other shot through
the lungs,

rhe Railroad QuestiOn-PnciGc Railroad
Suits.

The Railroad Question-PaciGc Railroad
Two Pacific Railroad cases are before the
courts on points more or less directly involv-
ing the relative powers of the national and
State governments in the control of railroad
companies-a fact which seems to point the
way to a collision Of authorities that must
sooner or later become inevitable. In one
case Pacific railroad corporation sought to
avoid the taxation Of State through which
1t passed on the ground that it was body
existing under national law only, and that its
property was in certain sense the property
of the nation because it was pledged to the
nation by mortgage for the payment Of debt
In another case a man suing for an alleged
debt called upon the Territorial Court Of
Wyoming to appoint receiver for the Union
Pacific Railroad Company. In the first case
1t has been decided in the United States
Supreme Court that the railroad company
must pay the State taxes. In the second
case the Territorial government was disposed
to assume the doubtful power it was called
upon to exercise; but here Congress is likely
to step in, for the Senate has already passed q
bill annulling the Territorial law under which
the Court assumed jurisdiction, and the House
will doubtless coincide with it in its Judgment
of the propriety of this assertion of its exclu-
sive right to control that corporation. Here,
then, is the point where Congress and the
State governments will make an issue in
regard to the control of railroads. Although
1t may be thought that in the constitution
there is abundant warrant for Congress to
assume complete authority, yet because the
usage has been to leave this to the States, and
because it would be clamored against as q
revolutionary interference with property
rights, Congress will be slow to do 1t, and
only some great necessity will ever urge it
to this point. But in the districts not yet
subject to State government 1t is different.
There Congress is supreme, and Territorial
governments cannot be permitted to stand in
its way. On the grand theatre between the
Pacific and the Mississippi, in the yet
unsettled empires Of that region, 1t will be
shown how great is the advantage Of having
all the thousands OF miles of railroad subject
to the same law-making power; and the
States that grow up there will grow with this
fact included as an organic one in their struc-
ture, and they will yet give law to the Older
States, requiring them to follow their example

Proposed RcpubIicau Caucus.


Proposed RcpubIioan Caucus.
The Decoration bill. declaring the s0th Of
May q public holiday for the decoration OF
soldiers graves, came up In the Senate yester-
day, and after some very sound debate was re-
ferred to the Committee on Military Affairs.
The bill to grant Mrs. Lincoln pension also
came up and was laid aside without action.
bill granting $4,000 from the funds Of ths
Freedmen's Bureau for the benefit OF Wilber-
force University, an institution for the educa-
tion Of colored youth to be teachers, was dis
cussed and Mr.. Trumbull made the point that
It Disseminated among the pupils on account
of race and color. The bill was finally laid
aside.
In the House bill was introduced to admit
Georgia to representation. A resolution to
adjourn on the 4th of July was adopted.
Mr.. Jenckes Civil Service bill was then re-
ported from committee. It is the old bill, and
provides substantially for competitive exam
nations for all appointments in the civil SER
vice. A lively debate ensued and disclosed
at least one old fogy radical in the House who
has not yet recovered from his dread Of rebels,
'whose hands are dripping with loyal blood"
He was afraid some of them, or at least some
democrat would prove competent to pass an
examination for assistant assessor or Consul
to Honolulu or some other lucrative office,
and get in through Mr.. Jenckes bill. The
debate was quite lively until the morning hour
expired, and the bill went over The House
then took up the Tariff bill and discussed iron
as far as it went, after which the subject was
varied by the discussion of Bessemer steel.
Senator Morton is getting up q call for a
caucus of the republican members of the two
houses of Congress to devise means Of smooth
ing over personal jealousies among members,
harmonizing differences of opinion as to impor-
tant questions and arranging policy on which
to carry the fall elections in favor Of the
administration. The call is timely, for the
need Of the republican party is great. If they
desire to remove all useless obstacles in the
way Of success we would advise them to delay
no longer in legislation-to dispose iu one way
or another Of the Funding bill, the Georgia
bill, the Tariff bill and the other important
matters that are engaging attention, and
adjourn. They have a good chance yet to
secure capital for themselves by settling these
points promptly

/. MRS. LrNooLNs PENSION. The United States
Senate, without any chaffering, ought to pass
at once the House bill providing pension of
three thousand dollars for Mrs. Lincoln. 1t is
little enough, considering her claims upon the
government, and it involves simple matter Of
a public debt which cannot be evaded without
disgrace. It should have been paid when
due; 1t must be paid, however, and the sooner
the better for the credit Of the Senate. That
economical body, for once, would do well to
cease this straining at gnat when it can
swallow camel.

A VoTE OF CONFIDENCE IN GENERAL

does not mean that Congress is satisfied with

that great subject. 1t means, on the contrary,
that Congress and the country have ample
faith that the case may be left in the hands OF

THEY HANG EN- IN MoNTANA.--An item Of
swift and determined retribution comes from
Montana. Two prisoners, who were charged
with robbing and attempting to murder a man
named Lenhart at Helena, were tried, not by
a court of justice, but by meeting of citizens.
The prisoners, it is said, confessed the crime
and were Immediately sentenced to be hanged
at half-past four the same afternoon. Tho
sentence was carried into effect in the presence
Of three thousand people, the hanging process
being simpli6ed by tying the ropes to the
limb of tree and driving away the wagons
which served as platforms. The despatch says
'the whole affair was conducted in most
quiet and determined manner" Evidently
the mass meeting of citizens determined to
make the affair dignifed success, and GER
tainly carried it through with all the decorum
that can attach to the unlawful taking of life.
A WESTERN OPINION OF WNNIpEa.-The
Jefferson (Mo.) State Times is of the opinion
that John Bull will have very soon to remove
peg or two from Winnipeg-that the Fenians
are about, and that Uncle Sam is bound to 60
in and win, and that then ''the wings of per-
feet liberty will carry pioneering people over
the fences erected by men in power, which is
but another rendering Of the outburst Of
Minnesota patriot that ''soon the American
eagle, with his tail spread over the British Pos
sessions, and his wings extending from sea to
sea, will drink from the rivers of Cuba, and
scream his defiance to all the world" We,
too, reckon that something of this sort is COM
ing; but we can wait little longer. More
over, if we gobble up the whole Continent
before breakfast what shall we have for sup

road and other securities, and they are still
going The interest to be paid to foreigners
on government securities alone Is not less than
sixty millions Of dollars in gold year. This Is
a perpetual drain of specie from the country.
We may continue for while to pay this in
terest in more bonds; we may make up the
balance of trade by securities, and class these
with exports; but we are getting more and
more in debt, and the yearly drain Of specie
becomes greater. IF the purchase money of
our bonds were applied to opening our re-
sources and increasing the productions of the
soil, that, in the end, might prove advanta-
ceous; but it goes to pay for imports-for lux
uries which are consumed, and which leave
nothing to show afterwards. The day Of reck-
oniur must surely come, and it will be wise to
nrepare in the best manner we can for it.
What we want is to increase our products
the products of the soil, mines, manufactures
and to provide the means of getting them to
market. We want to add to the variety OF our
productions, particularly coffee, sugar and
other things from the tropical countries on our
border, and 10 enlarge and extend our COM
merce. That Is the way to make up the
balance of trade and to pay for the foreign
importations which our luxurious people con-
sumo, andnot by sending our securities abroad,
which only makes our people more and more
the mere laborers for European capitalists. Ma
ture gives us every advantage; but we require
better and more far-seeing financial policy.
