The Appropriation bills in the House are not
as far advanced as they ought to be, and there
is evidently to be this session no exception to
the rule of hasty consideration of these i'm
portant measures. The Military Academy bill
was yesterday passed, and the Omnibus bill
taken up, but only one or two paragraphs were
considered.
New-York tribune., 1871-01-18

The Virginia Senate has MT very high ap-
probation of art. 1t has voted only SIX huhu-
red dollars for a portrait of the Iato Gen.
Lee to grace the halls of legislation. No one
will. therefore, be surprised that 1t further
displayed the taste of refusing to appropriate
an equal sum for portrait of that other
nObler and more faithful Vrginian, Gen.
George III. Thomas.

The Democratic Convention in Connecticut
Yesterday nominated the present State officers
for what, we trust, may be signal defeat at
the next Election. From the character of the
resolutions adopted by the Convention, 1t IS to
be inferred that the approaching election in
wolves only National issues, for State politics
are not mentioned in them

YORK IN CITY AND COUNTRY.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: You say of thousands of poor labor
ing mem" "They persist in seeking Tor pretending to
see work where it is not instead Of going tcr staying
where is" One meets with similar statements to this
almost every day. in this that and the other New-York
Journal or probably 500 articles have read on the sub
ect not one has remotely hnted at the true reason
why men leave the country and come to the city.
Tho reason is exactly the Of that given above
Men leave the country because there Is no work there
and come hero because most OF the work OF
the country Is rapidly being concentrated in
the cities and especially in New-York md
tbe region around It, Tho concentration of capital and
the SUPERIOR facilities at its command for manufacturing
enable IL to drive out Of the market all small manufae-
turers Of the INTERPRETATIONS shoemakers blacksmiths
even bakers, confectoners, watchmakers, DC, &c-in
fact all small capitalists-hoodng tho interior market
with goods manufactured here, selling them ut less
price though they generally OF an inferior quality
The consequence s that the artisans or mechanics are
driven from the market with the goods which they
were employed to manufacture and are compelled TO 90
,chere those goods manufactured-that Is, 10 New
York-or do nothing This the true reason why thou
sands annually leave the country much against their
incnatons and preferences and come here for employ
ment The New-York capital which drives them from
home, II that were not sufficient lnrction. drags
them here as II resolved To finish them.
This question OF mems crowdng to the city lies deeper
than ia sometimes Acknowledged will not say per
cevedfor the reason Is plain that 1t does not seem
possible for any one TO miss 1t. .
"A Il v
am working by the side OF farmer-a thrifty, shrewd
money making farmer-who nevertheless, has left his
farm Tor Winter and come here to work at his trade
for he has trade and do better than to stay at
home There also five others working In the same
room who have from the country for the same rea

problem is How the industry or the country pe ay

so that people can at home, live ana ue among

Comments By The Tribune.
That some work tends from the country 10
tbe cities, is true; but the opposite tendency
is quite as strong and well-grounded. Long
AGO, the business of Tanning was concen-
trated in and around the cities: now, 1t has
followed bark into the far glens of the
mountains. Formerly, all the Clothing and
nearly all tho Boots and Shoes sold in this
market were made within sight of our
steeples now, the most of the former and
nearly all the latter are made in rural villages
and districts, and only sent here for sale and
distribution. Hardly book was printed out

Comments by The Tribune.

The World forgets that the German armies
are simply tho German people armed, and that
these cannot well remain in arms forever.
They would like to return to their families
The World would keep them on tho frontier
indefinitely.
If the Germans had done what The World
prescribes, this war would have lasted for
ever. France would have refused to make
peace on the German basis since she would
have nothing to lose by protracting the war.
Had Germany been wOrsted as France has
been, she would have been told long since
that she Twas wantonly, culpably prolonging
the war, when she might end it at any mo-
ment by conceding TO France the well-won
boundary of the Rhine.

Elie New Rebellion.

Under the above caption a contrib
utor to the New York Republican,
who was Colonel In the Union
Army, pays his respects to the Dem
ocratic disorders in the South, closing
with the following good words of
warning:
"When clouds threaten, sage men
put on their cloaks;' and 'forewarned
is forearmed,' is a wise proverb. Our
people We're caught mapping ten
years ago, when the rebel conspiracy
showed its head, and a bloody, pro-
tracted conflict was the consequence
Counseled by history, our Govern
mcnt will not daily with the traitors
who, encouraged by fancied Demo
cratic majorities at the North, and
covertly "aided and comforted" by
complotters in New York and Wash
ington, have already wayed so self
confident as to attempt glorihca-
ton Of the arbitrator Davis. The
ex-rebel President, we are told 'bides
his time We are arrogantIy re-
minded that he has never asked
pardon,' and that he still cherishe ;
the docti.ne of State Rights. Very
well, Messrs. Ku-kluy. We are ready
totry conclusions with your midniy hit
gangs. Never was such a spectacle
of forbearance given to the world, as
our over-strained mercy to the red
handed homicf.ies, who only failed
in taking the life of their country
because they lacked the power to
myrmidons, and their Copperhead
symrathi gers, attempt the new re-
bellion which they have long been
meditating. We are told that it will
not be in the South alone the neNt
time; that New York City will pro-
vide the capital ard eNchequer for
revolutionary government. Very
well, Ku-kluX; Make your Wanting
truen But before you tlyit or, with
all your mercenary hordes, be sure
that our Grand Army of the Repub-
lie has forgotten the use of arms. Be
sure that half a million mourning
widows and orphans of the loyal men
whom you slew on the field or starved
in prison-pens, have forgotten tie
vacant places at their tire-sides, ard
the drops Of their own blood that
mOisten the seeds of liberty at the
South. And be assured, above all,
there will be no Davises left after the
war, and no bail-bonds signed by
Northern Republicans"

81, 500-have to be paid by residents,
to secure railroad through the
township. The balance of the tax
t,500-will have to be paid by non
resident landowners.
And estimating theroad, including
everything, ties, iron, right of way,
rolling stock, depots, &C., TO cost $780,
900 per mile, the six miles through
the township will cost $I50,000. Now
large portion of this is to be spent
in the township, in constructing
the road, paying literally for the
produce of the inhabitants of the
townships who grudgingly vote out
of their own pockets the paltry sum
81, 800. Nor is this all. While the
farmers are getting rich by a favora-
bic home market for their produce,
one hundred per cent. is added to all
their real estate, which no railroad
monopoly or future combination can
prevent. Then while our own farm
ers feel truly they are giving to a
corporation without a soul, that they
are adding largely to their own COM
fort and estate.
We present this as the selfish view
of this question, and not in defence
Of the law permitting the levying of
such tax. The right of railroad
company to make people help it
build railroad, whether they want
to or not; and the ACCESSIBILITY Of the
people doing it, for their own inter
ests, are two different things.

Railroad Taxes and Railroad;
Costs.

The two following articles go well
together:
The Centreville Citizen gives tie
following statement of the cost of
railroads per mile, in this State, as
demonstrated by the material used
by the Chicago u Southwestern road:
s"I'he rails used on the c. & S. w.
Railroad are 81 feet in length, weigh
lis pounds, and cost delivered here
little over 4 cts. a pound, or $IS
rail, the 40 rails required for mile
Of road costing 5000; 40 joints cost
$40; 40 kegs of spikes at IS keg, or
1 cts. spike, cost $500; $500 ties at
60 cts. each, 81 ,256. This, with si25
for laying the track, makes total Of
S9,12J for one mile, exclusive OF right
Of way, grading, bridges and cattle
guards. In some parts Of Appanoose
County the grading cost as high as
$1,000 mile. The construction Of
thirty miles Of road in the County
cost over half million dollars
And the State Register of late date
has the following:
There are large number Of town.
ships in this State that will vote aid
to railroads i'm the next ninety days,
and as large portion Of mankind,
ever since our great prcgenitor par
took of forbidden fruit, are actuated
by other than patriotic motives, let
Us present to them plainly, and in
words tried and dear, the more selfish
view Of this matter. Five per cent.
on the property of sparseiy settled
township, like the majority of the
State, will amount to about $1,000.

A Ring as a Detective

In August last young lady,
"a resident Of San Francisco,
died. During the following
October a lock of the deceased s
hair, together with two rings,
were placed in a registered letter
and dispatched toward the
East. During the mail rob-
berry on the 22d of that month,
the letter in question was
opened and one of the rings ap.
propriated. When Postal A
gent Barstow took possession Of
the debris in the mail car, he
found the lock Of hair, one ring,
and several pieces of the let
ter. After considerable troub-
lie, he managed to decipher the
name of the party forwarding
the letter and that of the party
for whom it was intended
The writer OF the letter, lady,
furnished him with a minute
description Of the ring, men
tioning that its principal fea-
ture consisted Of a heart crossed
by two clasped hands. This
clue was furnished to the de-
tectiyes, and through it they
captured one OF the lead
ing spirits of the robbery. But
for the ring, which he had devo-
ted to the adornment Of his own
clumsy hand, he might have
escaped unscathed. He has
taken up his abode at the Ne
vada State Prison, and the ring
was returned to its owner one
day last month Chicago Tri6-
une.
