New-York tribune., 1871-12-29

The Emperor Of Austria yesterday opened
Che Rcichsrath with speech remarkable for
its good sense and reserve. 1t makes no rash
cOnlmit.als in regard to the important topics
OF the hour, but indicates continuance of the
iudicious policy of Count Beust in regard to
constitutional questions. The Emperor ex-
presses his regret that the efforts he had made
TO satisfy the exigcncies of public feeling in
bohemia weIe not met with corresponding
consideration. At the same time he holds out
TO Galicia the prospect of possible extension
Of local self-government. Andrassy has
passed safely through his first ordeal, and bids
fair to sustain cIeditable comparison in
judgment and tact with his predecessor
New-York tribune., 1871-12-29

The Investigation of lIarbOr Master llaIt's
wa, fairly begun, yesterday, before the
CAPTAIN of the Port. Two respectable mer-
chants furnished positive evidence of the ubi-
trary and vexatiOus conduct of the accused
and of cxtortiOns for which nc was at least
responsible, if he did not directly inspire them
and share in the profits. We trust that every
one interested in the reform of the Dock ser
vice, and possessed of evidence against this
man. will come promptly forward, without
waiting for summons and help to convince
Gov. Hoffman that the grievances complained
Of are neither few nor trning
New-York tribune., 1871-12-29

The Frre-Tradrrs, in their warfare on our
Tariff. demand that Salt shall be- put in the
free list, but object that Tea and Coffee shall
be made free This inconsistency betrays
them. 1t demonstrates that Free Trade is a
war of British capital and labor on American
capital and labor. and that the reduction OF
our Tariff rates is not sought in the interest OF
our own people. but in the interest OF foreign
ers The British do not produce Tea and Cof-
fee nor have they the monopoly of carrying
and supplying these commodities. IL they
had, their busy agents in the United States
would have made the country ring with q
howl against the wicked Tariff, which taxes
the poor mans Tea and Coffee. But the British
largely produce Salt in the West Indies, in
England and in Canada, and they want the
American market for it exclusively. SO they
OPPOSE reduction of the duties on Tea and
Coffee. lest that might satisfy the popular
feeling against Tariff taxation upon articles of
necessity entering into general consumption,
which they have to Il certain extent kndled-
but they surround Congress and imprecate
feclingly the restrictions which the Tariff
places on the poor mans consumption of cheap
and purp British Salt. Free Salt is clever
catch word but they must laugh who mouth
it, For granting that the repeal of the duty
on foreign Salt would cheaper it, which surely
it would not, can any skilled arithmetician
cipher out the saving it would effect on a
workinglnan's consumption of Salt for a
year? Two-fifths Of the Salt now consumed
in the United States is foreign. If the duty
on it were repealed. the result would be that
within Il year mainly British and Canadian Salt
would be sold in the United States. And has
the country forgotten the sufferings of the
Rebel Confederacy for want of a domestic
Salt manufacturer

having reference 10 railroad business. when
will be read with great intcrcst-the ono
relating TO the future and the other to the

any waste of words, they give their ideas OF
the best way of accomplishing that absolutely
necessary enterprise. Mr.. jay Gould, President
of Erie, gives to his stockholders an account
of his eccentric stewardship. in which he

and shows that the road il doing better than

The Jury in Judge BcdfOrd's court nave
wisely determined to be on the safe size. anu
while they continue their inquiries with the
same zeal that has distinguished them hereto-
fore. they have resolved to find no more IN

have been dismissed. Meanwhile this latter
body il apparently held together Tor the soie
purpose of defeating the prosecution OF A"eeo

scandals of jacques Strop and his prostitutes
whom il ought to have turned out OF court az
