Rnpid Transit-Day Breaking.

After tumult of unexampled rigor between
rival interests, It seems that at last day is
breaking in the matter of rapid transit between
the lower and the upper sections of the city Of
New York The Viaduct Railroad bill has
passed the House, after raging tempest in
teapot AMONG members, and, having already
passed the Senate, it only awaits the signature
of the Governor to become law. 1t is ex-
pected the Governor will sign the bill without
unnecessary delay. =.
So far, so good. We say we think we now
see the dawn of the day of rapid transit but
how will it be at high noon? Is this viaduct
enterprise to meet the fate of the many other
experiments in the philosophy of quick loco
motion that have already been elaborated at
AlbanyP Is it to come up and become an es-
tablished benefit to the citizens of New York,
or is it to go down into the fathomless abyss
of bargain and sale, jobbery and collusion?
The underground, tumbledown and property
destruction fraud has been exploded. The ar
cade delusion has been dispelled. The tube-rose
has lost its sweetness The surface scheme
has been pronounced impracticable, and the
interests of its aiders and abettors have be-
come null and void. That King Job has had
a finger in these various plans has been as
patent as any patent of nobility King James Of
England ever vouchsafed an early foreign
immigrant to the American Continent. We
trust, however, that the reign of King Job is
over at Albany (about the city transit busi-
ness, at any rate), and that a shower of good
legislation will appease the thirst of the Go
thamites for better modes of inter-communi-
cation.
M 1av I;;.snct I:.,ct proposition may possess some
Objectionable features, for no bill of its mag
nitude ever passed our Legislature that some
lawyers or corrupt politicians could not find
flaws In. But let it be taken as it has been
given. We are not likely to get any better
plan in our day. Let the men who stand be-
hind it push il through. If in the initiative 1t
is found to be nuisance It can be abated as
nuisance. But don't let it slip through like
the jobbing schemes Of the past without fair
trial. There is no reason why the viaduct
principle should not work as well here as in
London and in other cities where it has been
put in practice.
Now is the time for the Tammany people TO
erect monument to their memories more en-
during than brass. Hence in the absence Of
any better scheme we say, "Push along the
viaduct, and give us ten minutes to Harlem

The WIsEACREs OF THE ASSEMBLY pro-
pose to pay fifty thousand dollars to any man
who will invent some better means OF propel-
ing canal boats, whether by steam, electricity,
caloric or otherwise. Such sum would be
of little account TO the successful inventor Of
such motor after it had been in use two years
as proposed, for it would long ere that have
returned him many times that sum; but it
would be a godsend to the poor inventor just
sculpturing the crude idea Of bis brain into
shape and too often pressed by lack Of means
to build his model. Could not the Assembly
do better by devoting fifty thousand dollars TO
the purpose of aiding these cramped geniuses
in the days Of their need and helping them
with funds to bring into perfection the coveted
idea, which may be even now close-lecked in
their brains for want Of time and means to
bring it forth !?

Congress ycstcraay-rhe st. Dominso DO.

Congress Ycstcraay-The At. Domingo DO.
The discussion upon the st. Domingo ques-
tion, which has inexplicably grown out of the
Ku Klux matter to which legislation In the
Senate was to be strictly limited, has de-
veloped into one of the finest debates that
any legislative body in this country has known
since the days of Patrick Henry. The OPEN
ing speech of Senator Sumner, which was
generally considered the best that could have
been gotten up for that occasion, even with
Summers great storehonse of knowledge, pre-
cedents and wisdom to draw upon, is almost
equalled by the incisive argument Of Carl
Schurz on the same side yesterday. The
Senator from Missouri was not only posted on
the constitutional law of the case, but he
was full Of new facts and sharp in his
answers to those who were bold or
imprudent enough to interrupt him. He
said that United States steamers had carried
Dominican troops from one point to another
for Baez that the United States flag had been
carried at the head of Baez's troops to intimi-
date the Haytiens, and that rockets to signal
united States gunpoatS IN case OF an attack
had been given to the factionists of Baez. He
even went so far as to denounce the Presi-
dent as more deserving of impeachment than
Andrew Johnson; and when some one of the
opposition spoke of Sumner as the Brutus
who had stabbed his friend, Schurz responded
that the dagger of Brutus was driven into the
heart of Cesarism. The resolutions Of Mr..
Sumner relative to st. Domingo were finally
tabled by vote of 80 to 16, fifteen members
being either absent or unwilling to vote.
In the House the Ku Klux debate was con-.
tinued, Mr.. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, de-
claring that the condition of the South at
present was condition of war, and that il
was the duty of Congress to order the federal
troops into the dsorderly sections and restore

TIE DRUG CLERK BILL, amended SO as to
suit druggists as well, has been signed by the
Governor. 1t simply provides that both drug
gists and drug clerks shall know enough to
ill up prescriptions correctly, and thus give
sick people and the doctors fair play in the
fight against disease and death.

TIE NEW LoAN.--The Secretary of the

loan to couple Of European firms who were
not the best friends Of the United States

himself by Withdrawing such special agencies

the great desideratum, but gracefulness is
another. Five hundred and ten pounds of
Methodism in highland fling might mean ex-
ercise, but where the second feature of
grace would lie is more than we can tell A
South American missionary gave his expert
cnce as man who by the force of silent ex-
ample eradcated dancing in Rosario. This is
the man who plays ''The WALL" fer, like the
original, everybody can see through him.
Poor Brother Schaffer thought kindness should
be applied and better education. But the
pious man was not needed. Holy horror was
visible on every face; he had pleaded guilty
to dancing, and that was enough. We shall
not notice all the others who played utility.
Enough to say that Snug the Joiner attempted
to mend matters by advocating novel reading
within limits, whatever that means.
Altogether, we are somewhat sorry to see
these excellent performers become reasonable
so soon. AS they cannot set New York Bay
on fire by their fulminations they might have
contributed a little longer to our slender stock
of fun. The stage is not half what it was.
Impossible melodrama rides roughshod over
the drollery Of old times, and now we find our
darling Tartuffe become suddenly dull as the
traditional virtuous peasant with the fowery
waistcoat. 1t is, then, in kindly spirit that
we ask him to hoist the Wesleyan flag once
more; for the public will be weaned from
all other amusements if the Methodist
preachers will only consent to deliver them
selves weekly Of grand series of TRADES on

The Trip of Horace, Greely..

The 'phtosopher" (so-called) has made a tour
through portion of the South, and had his eyes
opened tovarious matters, which hitherto were
only vague impressions upon his mind He has
boldly exposed himself to the ravages of the Ku
Klpx, but he only skirted the hostile regions,
and took care to give wide berth to South Car
olina, considered to be the headquarters Of the
Klan ut present. Not content with writing a
book, "Wha, know about Farming," he has
also given the world miautc description Of
the manneY in which a certain Northern man
performs steam blowing out in Mississippi. Mr..
Greeley spoke a speech in Texas, no account of
which has yet reached us, though, doubtless
an immense food of light was poured upon the
subject by the sage of Chappsqaa. In the un
civilized regions whittier the cause Of science
and flattcry led him. Mr.. Greeley found many
things which were totally unexpected to him in
the way ofSivilization ndenlightenment among
the barDarians of the Lone Star State. 2 We
opinc that Mr.. Greely wflffsel the public pulse
gently at first, by speaking ii somewhat favor
able terms of the Southern people and IL the
enemies of the Tribune come down upon
his sentiments so expressed, we viii probably
secure n warm advocate, who may, from his
well known hot-headedness, do US as much harm
rs good, hut we hope for the best, as that is-all
we can do.

WHIsKEY AND NEwspaPERs.LA glass of
whiskey is manufactured from dozen grains
of corn, the value of which is too small for
estimation. A glass of this mixture sells for
u dime; and if Of good brand, is considered
worth the money. 1t is drunk in second
or two. 1t fires the brain, sharpens the ap-
petite, and deranges and weakens the physi-
cal system. On the same sideboard on which
the deleterious beverage is served, lies a
newspaper. 1t is covered with half mil
lion of types-it brings intelligence from all
quarters Of the globe. The newspaper costs
less than glass of grog, the juice of few
grains of corn; but it is nevertheless true
that there are large number of people who
think corn juice cheap and newspapers dear.

SINGULAR DEATHs.-The Feliciana (La.)
Republican reports the following: On
"Wednesday three colored boys were found
dead under mulberry tree about six miles
from Jackson, and near the residence of
Mr.. W. L. Hamilton, in this parish. The
eldest was about eleven years ofage, and
the two others five and seven respectively
DR.. Jones, of jackson, opened one of the
boys, and upon analyzing his stomach it
was found to contain abrut. one quart of
mulberries, and also numerous locust eggs
1t is believed that the poisoning was caused
by the locust eggs, and that death ensued
almost instantly after their partaking of the
mulberrics in which were deposited the eggs
This should be warning to the wild and
reckless boys in our vicinity, who are forever
eating green and unwholesome fruits without
regard to their health.

Tax Penalty Illegal and Uneo.leefa-

From the case ofScammon VS. City Of Chicago
reported in XIV Volume, Illinois Reports, page
2d9, it appears that penalty imposed FOR delay
in the payment of taxes after certain day is
void bcingin conflict with that provision Of the
Constitution requiring uniformity of taxation.
The language of Blackwell on Tax Titles, "
is this, $50 cautions are the Courts in confnins
the taxing power within the bounds Of .statc
necessity" that they will never permit the en-
forcement of q penalty, or double tax. in sum-
mary manner, under the vague and indefinite
pretence Of taxation" Taxation includes the
power 10 collect i'll Il summary manner, the
amount levied, from the necessity Of the case.
This power must he used only to the extent ab-
soutely demanded by the public necessities, and
never abused by applying it to the PURPOSES OF
rESAL ENAoTMESTs, and under the guisc Of taxa
tion, 10 impose penalties which are to be en-
forced without recourse to the ordinary tribu-
mails. The Constitution projects the citizen
. from all judgments against his person or pro-
q ,rty, otherwise than by regular jury trial, as
heretofore accustomed.
Now the onIy difficulty in enforcing the-guar-
anty, is to distinguish between tax and q pen
atty. That is a tax, which bears equally upon
the whole community, but that which is added
to the burden Of one citizen, because OF the dou-
hle and triple TAX levied upon him by reason of
his neglect (or inability to pay his tax when
due. can in no proper sense be termed taxes:
they are in fact penalties. Judge Richardson,
in Burger VS. Carter, MCMILLAN Law. 420, says
the tax collector cannot, by his authority, assess
the penalty under the name of o. tax, for if it is
q penalty, jury must decide upon the supposed
infraction before the penalty can be inflicted"

A BI.ooDrIIIRsTY WoMAN.-A woman
named Agnes Norman, seems to have had
extensive but peculiar experience in vari-
Gus parts of London. ltappeared recently
at a coroner's inquest that about year ago
the child of lady visiting in the house
where Agnes was employed was found
dead in bed, under mysterious circumstances.
In her next place, Agnes one day brought
child home insensible, saying that it had
fallen from her arms. The infant recovered,
and within three weeks she took it out
again and brought it back dead. In her
third situation, boy of seven awoke with
a choking sensation, and afterwards told his
father that Agnes had placed her hand
over his mouth and given him money to say
nothing about it At another house where
she was employed, a child was found in
sensible in bed, and onrecovering show
ed great terror at the sight of the girl. AT
another, she locked child up in ward
robe, took itout and put it to bed, where it
was found dead shortly afterward.
Birds and domestic animals died suddenly
and strangely as children inhouses where
she lived: Finally she was employed by
the family of Mr.: Beer, who three days
afterward, returning with his wife from
dinner party, heard violent screams in the
and rushed up stairs to find one
child lying ON the floor and another between
the bed and the wall, dead, with two COM
pressed marks onaits lips. The verdict Of
he coroner's jury was "Death from sufoca-
ion, accidentally caused" with which, as
We read in the London papers, sathe father
aid he was dissatisfied" I" The case is to be
urther investigated. A mania for murder |
