A melancholy phase of boy-life in this great
city is shown in the arrest of three lads, 49,
II, and 10 years Of age, for nearly killing
another boy with clubs and stones, his ofiense
being a refusal to join them in theft and row.
dyism. Here is a boy, willing and anxious to
be honest carefully watched over by mother,
waylaid and nearly killed by youths whose
crimes already fit them for the State Prison.
There are temptations enough to lure the
young from the paths of virtue, and thousands
of boys who might be worthy and honOred men
are ruined every year. But this making thieves
by force is carrying matters quite
too far II is notorious that the most de-
PRAYED and dangerous classes of the city are
composed mainly of young men from 10 to
90 years of age. Their youth is successfully
pleaded to Judges and juries whenever they
fall into the hands of the law, and as gen.
eral rule they escape with slight punishment
often with none at all. 1t is TO be hoped
that the boys now in custody will receive pun
ishment according to their deeds without
reference to their years.

4 CO1L RAILROAD.

The project for a through traffic railway to
connect New-YOrk with the Schuylkill coal
region has been brought up periodically for
several years past, and is now once more
revived Practically we are in direct COM
municaton only with the Scranton and
Wyoming anthracite fields, and our supplies
are obtained through two or three great COM
panies which, owning both the mines and the
routes of transportation, are able absolutely to
control the market The Schuyllill fields are
among the richest in the world, whether we
consider the extent of the beds or the quality
of the coal. In a direct line they are no
further from New-YOrk than the Scranton or
Lackawanna district. The mines are held by
small operators, so that monopoly is almost
impossible Yet for want of channel of
transportation, Schuylkill is virtually shut out
of our market. 1t has no avenues to tide-water
except the Schuylkill Canal and the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad, both practically under
one management, both of limited carrying ca
pacity, and both affOrding an outlet only in
the direction of Philadelphia. These routes
were built at enormous cost and are oper
ated extravagantly. They represent a capital
of no less than SG0,0OO,0O0, to pay interest on
which the tolls on coal are fixed at such pre-
posterOusly high rates that the mining interest
is almost taxed out of existence. The freight
for instance from Pottsville to NewYork is no
less than "a on a tun of coal which is worth
only 50 at the mouth of the pit. Surveys for
a new road from Pottsville direct to Perth
AmbOy were made several years ago, and it is
estimated that traffic road with carrying
capacity of 100000 tuns per annum can be
built and equipped for $10,OO0OOO, while $780,
100000 would furnish road capable of carry
ing more than the Reading Railroad and the
Schuylkill Canal put together. The saving in
distance and freights would be as follows:
Distance from POttsyile to NJ by Reading T. r. 127m.
Distance by canal Io4nl
Distance by new route....- l2n
Tolls by new route
AS the road is not to be used for passenger
traffic or way freights, the cost of equipment
would be comparatively small, there would be
no outlay for way depots, and the running ex-
penses could be kept at a very low figure.
The advantage of the proposed road to coal

favorably with those of Western Territories.
Education is as well attended TO, and human
life is even moro secure. There are in that
Territory now a dozen different languages,
and other tribes are constantly removed there
from Kansas and the Plains. The Cheyenncs
and ArrapahOes, and 9th er blanket tribes have
been assigned homes there. Ii will be pre-
tended by no person that these tribes, so
widely different in their civilization, are suited
to the same institutions and government 1t
will take some time and no small labor to
prepare them for assimilation. a Legislature

Babel Missionaries and other humane persons
may aid the work, but the destruction of the
only good governments there for such an ex-
pertinent would be a calamity, and we have
no faith in quartering thirty or forty broken
down politicians there, to intrigue in real es-
tate, scatter Indian interests to the winds, and
violate the faith of the nation.
If the experiment of blending them together
is to be tried at all, let it begin on a small,
economical scale, and not without the consent
of the parties. In the face of their opposition
and protests, we are sure it will do no good
to them. 1t is about time the Government
made up its mind as to q policy in the
premises. Without impugning their motives
particularly, we may say that the Senators OF
adjoining border States are very bad judges
of what these people want. Above all, let us
remember that it is question of honor and

De Rodas tells the Spanish Government that
the Cnb,ns wish to surrender on condition that
their lives are spared The Government signi-
fies its willingness to accept surrender and eX-
tend amnesty, but leaves De Rodas with dis
erection TO continue his murders, by making him
a Judge of the sincerity of those submitting.
De Rodas has been a cruel judge, and we
imagine that few Cubans will venture to throw
themselves on his clemency. The fate of
young Cespedes will hardly induce them to
submission.

1t is telegraphed as significant that Black
rood, a Tory magazine and organ, has
virulently assailed the Lothian" of Mr.. Dis
raeli, the leader of the Tories. This appears
to puzzle the politicians, who can suggest no
other solution for the riddle than that the
Tories wish to get rid of Mr.. Dis
raeh May it not be genuine disgust
on the part of the respectable though
dull Bl0clWood? The book is full of offensive
personalities, as witness the illusions to Mr.
Goodwin Smith, which that gentleman resents

We see no reason in the news from Italy to
look for serious Republican rising against
Victor Emanuel, but the friends of the Italian
Monarchy have at least grave cause for un-
oasiness The outbreak of small instructions

Now and then we get reports from other
cities which make us, if not contented, at least
patient under our own municipal nuisances
Philadelphia, considering its Quaker origin
and still existing Quaker element, should be
clean; but, on the contrary, if we may believe
a newspaper of that city, it is exceedingly
dirty-"as mclean as the most reckless ply
"sclan in need of patients could desire" In
addition to this, festoOns of worms hang from
almost every tree. Evidently Philadelphia is
in bad way, and may have this Summer

COntesting elections to Congress is MT a bad
might be INDUCED in as a profession with
profit In fact it has been highly profitable
to some persons during the past twelve years,
for it appears that no less than S223,59j of
public funds were paid to % defeated con-
testants, an average of $3.50 each, for ex-
penses incurred in trying to establish claims
which ought never to have been made. Over
$4,000 was thus paid out yesterday to six per-
sons from a single State, an average OF more
than $4,000 for few months litigation. The
present practices of the House on this subject
simply encourage this sort of veXatiOus
wrangling and the bill reported and
discussed yesterday, or a better one,
ought to be adopted. We do not understand
why an unsuccessful litgant before Congress
should have any more rights than a litigant
before the courts but he does. To be sure, he
goes there on the pretense of uphOlding the
claims of his constituents. Then let him look
to his constituents to pay the bills, when it is
decided that he has no grounds for appeal
from the popular verdict or the Election
Judges report. When it is decided that a
contestant has no right to a seat, it should also
be understood that he has no right to a
dollar of public money. 1t is bad enough that
the House should waste its time over such
contests Let it be resolved that the public
money is not to be wasted in the same way,
and contested elections on frivolous grounds
will not be so frequent.

Mr.. Potter of New-York advanced the moral
view, in the debate yesterday, against the
continuance of the Income Tax, by stating
that no amount of revenue collected under 1t
could balance the harm it did in demOralizing
character. Congress is no more justified IN
offering premium on falsehOOd and fraud,
because it augments the national income, than
In drawing a revenue from the taxation (and
consequent legalzation) of lotteries, gift enter
prses, and faro banks, because a few States
and cities authorize the same.

The vote on the Income-Tax clause OF the
bill reducing taxation is TO take place to-day
1t has been loaded down with amendments OF
all sorts, and the vote will doubtless result in
an exciting scene. The discussion yesterday
revealed that the party in favor of the renewal
of this odious and inquisitOrial tax is very strong
in numbers though weak in argument. We
beg members to remember that ii is some
thing more than the mere continuance
Of tax now in force which they propose 1T
is the renewal of a most oppressive, unjust,
and unpopular tax now expired by limitation.
Gentlemen who vote for it will need to look
elsewhere for support at the next election; and

Senator Howe of Wisconsin aroused much
laughter in the Senate yesterday by remarking
that it was manifest that the Franking bill
chad not friends enough to hurt anything"
There is no complaint that the friends OF the
bill have not manifested their partiality for it.
The trouble is that its enemies dare not ayOw
their opposition TO it, and seek to defeat 1T by
dilatory motions on frivolous grounds If the
bill could be forced TO a vote, not half or
those who have hopes of returning TO Congress
would range themselves among its opponents.

among the poor, prostration of trade, are the
secrets of general dsafiection which has I'M
doubleday been long increasing and the party
of action will appeal to it in due season. That
the OppOrtune moment, in the judgment of the
leaders, has not yet come seems probable from
the fact that in Lombardy, where the Repub-
licans are strongest in number and most
formidable in organization, there has been no
disturbance. The Italian Cxiles in Switzerland

consumers in New-York is obvious, and TO
coal operators in the Schuylkill region it
would prove beneficial in more than one way
1t would relieve them of burdensome tax
upon production, give n more reasonable mar
gin of profit, and probably, by opening new
markets and relieving trade of various arti-
fetal restrictions, would go far towards solving
the antagonism between capital and labor
which has been for years the curse OF the
Schuylkill mines

Michael Howard, oolored lad, having been
admitted as cadet at West Point, we are
much astonshed to hear that certain of the
White Cadets would, if they dared, make the
place uncomfortable for him. We should be
sorry to think so. soldier should be gen.
tcman, and these West Point lads are all
training to be soldiers. Moreover, they will,
we hope, remember that they are the adopted
sons of IA Republic which now, at least, has
discarded distinctions of birth and color; that
they are fed clothed, and educated at the ex
pence of the nation; that the claim of How
ard to a similar care is quite as good as their
own and that it is a low and mean thing for
masses of boys in school to prosecute an
isolated and almost defenseless individual.
We will not believe until forced to, that any
West Point cadet will prove himself a vulgar
fellow and an incpient blackguard.

The Chamber of Commerce and the Com
missioners of Docks and Piers are moving
simultaneously in the important matter of i'm
proving New-Yorl Harbor. We trust also that
they will move tremendously and on a joint
plan, so far as joint action be necessary. We
are told that the Battery extension will be
finished, and the distractions in the
channel between it and Governors Island
will be removed during this year, if
Congress consents to the appropria
ton of 100000 asked for. In view of the
fact that this most important harbor Of the
country, and the one which collects twO-thirds
of the tariff revenue, has received less than
one-ffteenth of the amount expended on har-
bors since the establishment of the Govern
ment, there are plausible reasons why the aid
ought to be extended, and without delay.

Mr. Hamlip of Maine appealed to the Senate

Mr. Hamlin of Maine appealed to the Senate
yesterday to prevent repetition of the dila-
tory proceedings on the Franking bill, char
ncterizing the conduct of the Senate in the
matter as drifting and disgaceful." BY its
subsequent action in refusing to make the vote
on the further pOstpOnement of the bill test,
the Senate betrayed that its trifling with the
bill was done designedly to avoid the respon-
sibihty of defeating it. This revelation only
makes the disgrace the greater.

Is it precisely the fair thing in Mr. Wilson
to advocate the Income Tax as the falrest of
all taxes because it falls, as he says, only on
the richer classesi Should any class, rich or
poor, be called upon to bear dispropOrtionate
burdens by the Government whose COnstitu-
ton distinctly provides that no direct taxation
shall be laid unless in proportion to the pop
ulation9 Figures cannot lie, but they some
times singularly affect the arguments of those
who quote them. Witness the speech of Mr..
Townsend Yesterday. He thought the clamor
against the renewal of the Income Tax was in
the interest of men of large fortune-an indl-
rect way, as we read it, of joining in the I'M
truth that only rich men pay the tax. Yet,
as Mr. Townsend says 1865 persons pay the
tax in his district, 1,06s of whom would be re-
lieyed if the exemption were increased to
$4,000, ergo the number of poor men who pay
the tax is more than four times as great as
the rich men who are thus oppressed.
