TO COY HOFFMAN-GREE7ING.


We have a word for our Governor, which he
cannot afford to disregard
On the Goth of April we gave to the public
absolutely the first information it had received
of an extraordinary bill, secretly crowded
through the Legislature in the last
days of its session, and ever since
before the Governor, awaiting his approval.
Yesterday a Committee, headed by one of our
most distinguished lawyers and fairly repre-
senting the best elements of the Bar OF New
York, laid before him the solemn protest of
the profession against the mOnstrous in
instice and folly of this effort to set
back a hundred and fifty years the state OF
law on a subject vitality affecting the liberty
of the citizen and the welfare OF the State.
The protest did not and could not state too
strongly the feeling entertained here by all
honorable members of the profession, with
out distinction of party. For this oil
in effect provides and was intended
to provide, that absolute power over
the liberty, if not the property of all citizens
exercising their birth-right of free-speech, shall
be given to Judge George G. Barnard and his
fellows Its deliberate purpose is to place
every lawyer at the mercy Of our cor
rupJ JuulClbyy w niicuco tHo ho"Oo'
expressions of unmitigated loathing
with which lawyers like Mr.. David
Dudley Field have, in times past, characterized
Judge Barnard himself, to muzzle the Press,
and deliver the whole community over, with
out voice OF organ, to the power of men whom
no citizen trusts, and at the mention of;whose
names every New Yorker hangs his head in
| shame.
Gov. Hoffman! to do this for an hOnOred and
incOrruptible judiciary would be the most
criminal abandonment of great safeguard of
| liberty ito do it for Geo. G. Barnard is in
fanny, and you know it. You have been
lawyer and magistrate You know that
| the law as it stands now gives
courts every needed power for the
| preservation Of their own dignity and the en-
forcement of justice,-yOu know that the pro-
! Dosed amendments abandon century's pro-
eress in jurisprudence, and are aimed directly
at the independence of the Bar, tho liberty of
the Press, and the rights of the citizen. You
know that the respectable Bar of New York, to
which Won considered it an honor to belong,
ia a unit against this monstrous measure and
that. at q meeting held soon after the publca-
tion Of orr article, it was openly declared by
more than one prominent lawyer that every
one there who had spoken on the subject at
all was fairly liable to arrest for contempt
under the provisions of the act.
What we have TO say to you, then, Is that
YOU cannot afford to sign this act You are
considered candidate of your party Tor the
Presidency, and we are free to ADMIT you
a much more respectable one than
GOOD many Others who have been
named. Int Whistler candidate or SIM

The City of Chicago has grown with such lveli-
ness and flourish that every body supposed its in
crease real and natural But verify there appear to
be drawbacks Taxes in this gourd-like place, last
year. amounted to 41399S but this year, alas, it is
thought necessary to swell, and, it were, tumefy
them to the extent of 81 56O.2O2-making an aggre-
gate of S5,70O,OOO! Whereupon. there are groans,
and protests and afirmations. that rents have ma
terially declined and that there has been large
"shrinkage in the prices of stocks of goods and
personal effects generally. The Chicago Tribune
begs the City Fathers before they thus play at ducks
and brakes with the peoples money, " to wait for
revived industries Expenditures" says The
Tribune should be cut down to the lowest point
consistens with financial safety, and. wherever pos
sible, new projects suspended, at least for the
present. There will be jubilation in st. Louis when
these dismal admissions are read there; but that is
no reason why the Chicagoese should not follow the
advice Of their newspaper, and should not leave
little of the glory to future generations OF making
Chicago the greatest place and the most magnificent
upon the American continent.

COST or THE MINERS STRIKE

The coal miners strike has now lasted for
four months. What has been the loss in
wages to the men engaged in it'll If we sup
pose 30, 900 men-the number embraced In the
Miners Union-tO earn on an average II on
per day, or $31 so per month, the loss OF
wages would be $4,5O00OO to the miners and
laborers since the strike became general. On
the other hand, the statistics of the coal trade
show that production for the first four
months of 1871 is only 100000 tuns below
the figures for the corresponding period OF
1870. Now the cost of labor per tun OF coal
cannot be placed higher than 90 cents. Multi
plying $780, 900 by 30, we obtain $2,25O,OOO as
the sum by which the miners and labOrers are
worse off than if they had continued work as
in 1870. While this shows how irregular work
is in the coal regions during the Winter and
early Spring months, it also shows that on
any basis of computation the cost OF the strike
to the miners has been immense.
But the cost to the community in the in
creased price which they have been compelled
to pay for fuel is vastly greater. Since the
1st of December, when the suspension took
place in the Northern region, consumers have
purchased not less than 100000 tuns OF an
thracite coal at an average advance OF ~ per
tun by the most moderate calculation. What
has become of this SSOOO,OOOf The sum must
have been divided among the wholesale and
retail dealers and spectators in coal, among
which classes of tho business community must
be ranked the three great Northern companies
and the Reading Railroad.
The cost of tho strike to the transporting
companies cannot be computed by outsiders
Ii will doubtless come out when they make
their reports year from now. We may note
one circumstance The market price of the
shares of these corporations has suffered no
depreciation, Reading, in fact, having adj
vanced 10 per cent above its price six months
ago.
1t is not to be supposed that these strikes.
or suspensions. will be a. frequent in tho flu
ture IA they have been in the past. We are
glad to sec that arbitration is commencing
itself to miners and operators alike as means
of preventing the destructive losses and un-
speakable privations necessarily attendant upon
strikes. The concessions which have lately
been made on both sides show that the men
and the operators have learned to respect each
others power. The contest in Sohuylkill is
already settled, and little moderation on the
part of the great companies of the North Is
only needed to compose matters there.

THE ARMY REUNION.

The reunion yesterday in Boston Of the
Society of the Army of the Potomac brought
together brilliant gathering of officers and a
goody showing of soldiers. 1t would seem
almost unnecessary to vindicate the purpose OF
these associations of comrades, but in these
days, when every event is sought 10 be worked
in some selfish interest, it was well enough
that Gen. Meade should refer, in dignified
and impressive language, to the object OF tho
reunion as social and cOngratulatOry, without
political bias or tendency. There is no posi-
bility of anything but good resulting from
these stated renewals of the bonds of fellow
ship contracted years ago. under circumstances
which developed all that was most sin
cere and manly in character and feel
ing. The qualities kept alive by
cherishing the associations of those years OF
struggle are of the kind we can never have
too much Of-the sentiments of honor, courage,
generosity, and loyalty. The country will
always be the better for the memory of the
DAYS when a million of its best men stood up
to fight, and, if need be, die for it.
The meeting at Boston was worthy OF
its purpose and intention. Gov. Fairchilds
speech was stirring exposition of story
the veterans never grow weary OF. and the
meeting was made memorable by the pres
enee of a dozen of the most distinguished
of the Generals who had he'd the great
army to victory, and by the election of
that frank and gallant fighting man, Gen. Joe
Hooker as President Of the Society for the
coming year. An added grace was conferred
upon it through the tribute paid by the gena,s
of the Pacific to the valor of the Atlantic
Coast Mr.. Harte's spirited poem shows that
his rare and delicate talent has suffered NO
loss by It's recent transplahting. So with
speeches and toasts and genial "reminiscences
the soldiers love-feast came to its close. The
same comrades will never meet again this
side of final headquarters; but the influence
of these festivals of memory cannot but
pervade and ennoble the working days Of life

that his directions will be followed. Some
folly OF prejudice or silly traditional notion,
some dosing of which he knows nothing. or
about which, if he inquiries, he is told dozen
lies, may Illustrate all efforts and render inef-
fcctual his honest care and skill. The
patient dies, and tho unhappy doctor is
at once, in too many cases, regarded
IA a bungler, an ignOramus, and murderer.
He is arraigued by the bereaved; he is tried
by gossips and found guilty by tea-table jul
ries-and all because God saw fit TO make his
children mortal. Very few people die without
leaving behind them q number Of mOurners
who are perfectly sure that this syrup or that
tincture this sudOrifc or that tonic, or the
other laxative, if it had lbeen properly and
promptly and persistenuy exhibited, would
have averted the calamity. Or course. the
physician is not always made defendant
whenever he may lose case; but ne may be
chartered and gossiped and slandered and
misrepreseDted out of neighborhood, and
compelled to abandon practice acquired
through years of patient industry and pans
taking. Some clever young man VIII come 10
take his place, and to be, unless extremely
fortunate, subjected TO tho same melancholy
fate.
We would not be understood to say that
there may not occasionally arise cases of gross
malpractice in which doctor may deserve to
pay roundly for his negligence or for his
ignorance. A blundcrer who puts patient
half dead with phthisis into steam box,
having previously filled him with lobella ana
red pepper, should be made to pay damages
if he has any money, or to 60 to jail II ne
has none. This is a different case from that
of an educated and conscientious practitioner,
who. having done his best to postpone that
ceremonial, is tittle-tatiled almost to his own
death at tho funeral of a patient who may
have succumbed, after all, to some incurable
disease like old age or a confirmed and neg
lected consumption. 1t should be understood
once for all that no Medical School can lmpart
to its neophytes the secret of working miracles
AS the poet says, "Die we may, and die we
"mustr-a fact of which every human beng
is finally, however reluctantly, convinced, but
which tho Doctor knows from the time when
he il summoned to the time when he retreats
from an Intellectual struggle with disease.

The accident on the Erie Railroad yesterday
seems to have resulted from the uncoupling OF
cars in a passenger train. The train was on
an ascending grade at the time, and the de-
tached cars running to the bottom of the hill
came in collision with a freight train.
We wish we could believe the disas-
ter purely accidental, but the facts lead
US to conclude that the method and the means
of coupling cars on the Erie Road are I'M
usually bad. Carelessness on the part OF
brakeman, or a defect in the apparatus must
have caused this accident, and against both of
these there was preventive which no wise
foresight has employed Consequences: Six
children killed and twenty adult persons
manned and injured; an inquest, and verdict
exoncrating everybody from blame.

Admiral Porter was so pleased at the public atten-
ton which his famous letter to Secretary Welles
received from the country that he has not been able
to resist the temptation of writing another. This
time the Army of the Potomac in Boston assembled,
was the recipient of the favor. The soldiers listened
with patience for the first page or so, and then,
fearing their confidence in hannah nature would
be destroyed if they heard any more, they devoted
themselves to making less injurious noises than hla'

INFANT MORTALITY,

What we are to do with the steadily in
creasing weight Of Legitimate and pauper
children thrown upon the State for support
and protection il question which becomes
more urgent and alarming with every year.
Founding hospitals, orphan asylums, Homes
for the Frendless, are but so many inefficient
hands held up to lift the helpless mass. Their
motive is, without doubt, pure and Christ-hke,
but they neither effectually remedy the evil
nor prevent it. A paper read lately before
the Social Science Association in Philadelphia
by physician who has for years had thou
sands of these helpless waits under his charge
puts the subject in its plainest and strongest
light. He estimates the illcgitimate births in
New-York and Philadelphia as four per cent
of the whole number. "The mortality among
"these infants" DR.. Parry adds, I" is fearful.

one-ffth Of the inquests held by the Coroner are

deaths among abandoned children in the insti-
tuition over which Dr. Parry has charge, where
they are well clothed and fed, is IS per cent.
This mortality, as we know, equals 90 per cent

both wealth and charity have given their ut

The first apology of Frenchman for de-
feot Is an accusation of treachery. The Com
m;ttee of Public Safety has denounced the
Commune soapegoats as ORATORS" for losing
Fort dIssy, and court-martial has met to
legalze the murder of those who have been
arrested. The French idea of justice is beau
tifully illustrated in the order in which this
action is proclaimed. The arrested persons
are called guilty" although they have not
been tried, and "their exemplary punish
" ment" is promised the indignant populace
before the findings are known. Fortunately,
this mad rule is nearly at an end.
