THE SUM or THE WHOLE MATTER.

The late session of the Senate of the United
States began in Mysteries and ended in a farce
Yet, between the hysterical investigation and
the farcical abandonment, some grave steps
were taken, and some grave questions raised
On these we purpose briefly to fix public
attention before. the whole affair passes through
universal contempt to oblivion.
!. On the morning when The TRIBUNE pub
lished the Treaty of Washington these things
were known about it That the Joint High
Commissioners had finished and signed it, and
that it was their individual if not joint desire
that it be made public: That the President
had sent to the Senate particular and per-
s0nal request by the band OF the Chairman OF
the Committee on Foreign Relations, that
it be forthwith published, for the infor-
nation of the people and the good of the ne
gotation That it had been shown freely, and
without injunction of secrecy, to sundry cltl-
zens That the Oldest and most trusted Sena-
tors desired its publication That the State
Department had shown it to at least one Editor,
and had furnished a careful though incOm-
plete synopsis of it to the press.
II. No law was directly or indirectly infringed
by The TRIBUNE's publication, and no pre-
THE TRIBUNE had only done its duty to its
readers, by furnishing them the earliest news
of q document of commanding public import
ance But the Senate decided Gn secret ses-
sion), in spite of the known wishes of the Gov
ernment and the acknowledged right
of The TRIBUNE, to investigate the
matter. Such investigation could have
but one rightful object. Whether any Senator
or officer of the Senate had betrayed its
secrets-that was thing proper to find out,
and perhaps worth finding out-albeit the men
who now urged it were notorious as the most
ready, in times past, to betray whatever
Executive secret they wanted made public.
With the settlement of that point the investiga-
ton ought to stop-the Senate had no more
right to inquire beyond than it had power to
punish.
III. What they did was very different Mr..
Roscoe Conkling early heard that clerk of
one of Mr.. Fenton's Committees had done
some copying for THE TRIBUNE on the night
the Treaty was transmitted, and straightway
fancied-such was his eager and illogical hate
that he might be able to connect his dreaded
rival with it. Too shrewd, nevertheless, to
move first i'm the matter himself, he succeeded
in putting forward Mr.. Matthew Ii. Carpenter
in his place. subsequently, when he dis
covered the storm he had aroused he
attempted to evade the responsibility of his
act, by saying with an air of candor that he
did not originally seek the investigation; but
the subterfuge proved dear one. 1t was
shown that, while others were talking vaguely
about what should be done, Mr.. C0nkllng
carefully wrote out resolution, consulted
with Mr.. Carpenter about 1t, amended ito IN
sundry particulars that it might have wider
application than appeared on the surface. and

money upon him. Another is held for the pay
mcnt of sums he never possessed and never will
earn as long as he is in Jail. 1t is these mon,

Warden Tracey, exaots as the equivalent for

but an EOnest or unfortunate laboring man.
who by accident or nadvertcnce falls into the
clutches of these officers, must either suffer
the nameless privations of the pauper
prisoners, or undergo an expense which may
take the food from the mouths of his children.
OF course there is objection TO allowing
wcll-tO-dO prisoners to buy any comforts or
Injuries they can afford but a poor man who
is unable to treat himself to the luxurios
which the Sheriff holds at the DEPOSITION of
che most guilty Of bis guests sh6;!ld not suf-

mcnt. the deprivation of every enjoyment
or decency Of life. 1t il only too evident from
the report of our amateur prisoner, that those
who are suspected of an ability to pay for the
commodities in the acq,nsitive hands of Tracey,
are persecuted by numberless vexatiOns to force
them to buy the privilege of eating and sleep
ing like civilized beings.
We do not know by virtue of what law or
statute our Sheriff pretcnds to Justify this sys-
tenn of conclusion and extOrtiOn. The inten-
ton of the law is doubtless to give to persons
detained for oifenses whose guilt is not proved.
and most especially TO those innocent persons
who are held simply as witnesses, as favorable

TILE CANAL SUPERINTENDENT SAYE

THE CANAL SUPERINTEhDENTS SAVED.
Senator Jacob Hardenbergh on the 7th Of
February last introduced his celebrated bill
" to abolish the Office of Superintendent of
Canal Repairs and to give additional powers
" 10 tho Canal Commissioners, for the more
efficient and economical repair and painte-
nance of the Canals of this State" This bill
was promptly and favorably reported, and the
great debates of the session were held upon it.
The Republican Senators subjected the canal
policy of their opponents to unsparing criti-
cisn, and Senator Hardenbergh in vain
attempted TO confne the discussion to
the bill itself. At last Mr.. Tweed.
having other bills 70 pass of more Importance
to himself declared he was "sick of canal
talk" never wanted to hear of canal
"again "-and moved that the Committee OF
the Whole rise and report progress on the
bill. This being carried, Senator Hardenbergh
-dreading, perhaps, another debate-moyed
that the Senate discharge the Committee FROM
tho further consideration of the bill, and that
IL be ordered TO third reading. The Repub-
licans, objectng to this summary process, and
wishing to offer some amendments, voted
unanimously against this motion, and the
Democrats unanimously in its favor and OF
course in favor of the bill.
The objects of the bill were transparent and
its main provisions commended themselves to
honest men of both political parties. The
Superintendent system had doubled the ex-
penses of the Canals, had added nothing to
their elliciency-as witness the numerous
breaks and delays which attended the attempt
to open them to navigation this season
and had turned greater flood of corruption
through and over their banks than had ever
been known before. Senator HardenberGh,
shrewd and honest man where tho leaders
OF his party permit him to be so, proposed
to cut down the number of those in position
to cheat the State from thrty-two to three,
and to hold the three responsible. The Super
ntendents were responsible for their Offices
and conduct, not to the Canal Commissioners,
but to the Canal Board, including besides the
Commissioners, the Democratic State officers,
who, ii is needless to say, are NOT chosen with
any reference to their duties in connection
with the Canals. The Canals had thus become
a field to fatten the followers of Tammany,
at the expense of the Taxpayers of the State.
Now, as we believe, and to quote the lane
guage of The Ereaing Post, "at the dictation
" OF beCTcJ COHspiIacy VI poilOioai hidii'SOi',
the faciie Governor vetOes bill which every
Democratic Senator voted for, and which passed
the Assembly by large majority, and without
hostile discussion The bill would have freed
the Democratic party from the stain which in
some portions of the State still attends criminal
extravaganza, fraud, and corruption But the
Governor, unfortunately, is i'll the hands OF
men to whom worldwide reputation for
extravaganza, fraud, and corruption causes no
disquiet.

was aimed, and by virtue of this our Mayor
now assumes TO override the salutary and uni
vcrsally acceptable provisions of the old law
1t remains TO be seen whether this plot TO rob
olc Of oar most boneiicent charities, for the
purpose of throwing down all the barriers
that now restrain the multiplication of low
and immoral exhibitions. is to succeed. Some
little regard for public deccncy has been
shown by the stealth with which these con-
spirators have acted in the matter. and the
expression of decided and general dsappro-
baton may still prevent The further execution
