C1NAL DEFICIENCIES.

An Albany correspondent writes that on
Monday,
1.-THE resolution offered by Mr.. Moseley on Saturday
ana lost, calling the Auditor for information about
the condition Of the different canal funds was recon
sidered on motion Of MT Jacobs The deficiency in the
canal fund is said to amount to t3OOOooQ, besides
deficiency Of OOoOOO in the general fund.- amount
ing altogether to upwards OF 100000 which Democratic
rule has left legacy TO the State. Tho Chairman OF
the Ways and Means Committee will recommend the
payment Of this debt by direct tax the present
or else by the creation OF debt to five years. the
Legislature shall determine"

lars, more or less, is to be sweated ont of the
taxpayers of our State; whether in one or in
five years, what mattersf But by-and-by the
Republicans will once moro be going out of

as this--we will hope that it may prove much
smaller; but If the policy Of keeping up canals
that do not pay the wages Of their lock-

long ago deserted them, never more to return

The Washington Chronicle asks
"Did THE TRIBUNE ever try to realize that there sre

bity or non-eligiby Of President to reeectont Dla

Anscer.-Yes, there are "twO sides to this
important question "-the right side and the
wrong. THE TRIBUNE has always been on one
Of these sides; those who now abuse it have
mainly been on both, and will change again
on very slight provocation. AS to the lesson
aforesaid, the mischief is that good lessons,

DOST LIKE THE PARALLELf

Il Is just about n century since Junius as
sailed the Marquis of CRANKY in the following
words:
"It has lately been fashion 10 pay a compliment to
the bravery and generosity OF the Commanderin-Ch
ut the expense Of his understanding. They who love
him least make question Of his courage, while his
friends dwell chiefly the facility OF his disposition
Admitting him TO be brave total absence of all
feeling and reflection make him. let what sort
Of merit he derives from the remainder Of his character
II DO generosity to accumulate In his person and
family number Of lucrative employments; to provide
ut the public expense for every creature that
name Of Manners to heap promotions upon his favorites
and dependents the present Chief Is the
most generous man alive"
While the Marquis Of CRANKY was writing
under the wounds Of this terrible hidden
enemy. Sir William Draper rushed forward
with rash but chivalrous defense. "How," !"
asked Sir William, care any mans friends or
"rclativcs to be provided for but from the in
"Auence and protection of the patronf 1t is
unfair to suppose that Lord Granby's friends
have not so much merit as the friends of
"any other great man il he is generous at

"expense for his lOrdship's friends than it
would be il any other set of men possessed

test just now because Gen. Grant, accused,
like Lord Cranky, OF improperly favoring his
relatives, has found q Sir William Draper In

The Frankfort Commonwealth, edited by Col. A. G.
Hodges, Is thick and thin supporter of the Admin
istratOn, and extremely bitter against 1.-THE Coying-
ton secessionists,' ii terms those Kentucky Re-
publicans who oppose the fore-ordained candidate
of the of1ice-holders' convention. Every man who
does not pledge himself to sustain Gen. Grant is,
according to this paper. Democrat or sore-head.
1t is sad" exclaims Col. Hodges that there were
not offices enough in the State to supply the de-
mands of the Covington isecessOnists, and thereby
keep them cheerfully IN the ranks Of the Republi-
can partyp delicious commentary on this style
of journalism is furnished by letter written by Col
Hodges in May, 1870 to Gen. s. G.. Burhridge one of
the "sore-heads" against whom hs is now 80
fghteously indignant. Col Hodges was a soro-head
himself about that time and he spoke Of the Presi

New-Jersey, so far as its Legislature is con-
cerned, may as well be given over to railroad
lobbyists. The junta which has been directing
operations all Winter has just succeeded in
killing two more bills, designed to amend the
Railroad laws of the State in a wholesome and
equitable manner, against which there could
be 10 possible objection, except that they
were on the programme of the Pennsylvania

We hope The Brooklyn Eagle will manage to
calm down before another issue. In its virtu-
GUS indignation about the laundering report of
the indictment Of Judge Pratt, it attributes
the "dastardly attack on a Brooklyn Jurist" :"
to the "malice and mendacity" of THE TRIB-
UsE. Like good many other fine articles,
this would all be very well, if there was any
truth in it, or if the error was THE TRIBUNE's; /;
but the columns Of The Eagle itself contained,
in a letter of District-AttOrney Davis to Mr..
b. F. Tracy, the proof that the mistake was
that of Judge Davis, and not of The TRIBUNE.
The report came to The TRIBUNE office that
Judge Pratt, whose name, be it understood, is
Calvin f. Pratt, bad been indicted, but it was
doubted, and trustworthy reporter was sent
to the District-Attorney to get the story con-
firmed or denied. Can The Eagle suggest any
more careful method than this Of collecting
newsq Well, Judge Davis, when found, con-
firmed the report, and Indignantly declared,
after examination of the case, that he was
satisfied that the indictment had been brought
under total Misrepresentation Of the facts by
the Grand Jury, precisely as We stated yester
day. On that authority we published the
story; and though Judge Davis made very
natural error, considering that he has had
nothing to do with these cases, except to re-
view and quash some of the indictments, we
should accept his statement again just as un-
reseryedly. That the announcement was er-
roneous we accept on the same officers assur
ance, and share his regrets that it was ever
made. Judge Davis has promptly explained
tho error in letter which wo aa promDtlY

The Shipping Commissioners bill, designed
10 protect seamen in American ports, which
has been pending since last session, is to come
up on Thursday in the House Of Representa-
lives for final disposition. The fact that Mr..
Fernando Wood, whose constituency embraces
the shipping masters and boarding house keep
ers who prey upon this specially unprotected
class, is the only active opponent OF the BILL
recommends the measure and encourages the
belief that the bill will pass without delay.
Controller Hulburd's affair does not improve
by keeping. The direct charge that he ap-
pointed his own brother. Bank Examiner, after
he had been proved defsulter by former
employers, only shows that the Controller has
become infected with the malaria of nepo-
tism which prevails at Washington. This dis
ease, too, seems TO have carried OIL large
slice of the contingent fund OF the Currency
Bureau, in defiance of law. Perhaps the Con-
froller has some defense for these charges;
but those already published in The TRIBUNE
make bis case hopeless.
With O unanimity more complete than slngu-
far, the House of Representatives has tabled

Legislation. Of course, though there was no
question to debate, all being agreed, the
usual number of speeches was made, 90 that
the Senate might understand the ground taken
by the House in refusing to consider the
amended bill. This ought to satisfy the Senate; ;
nut the mischief of the whole matter Is that
many important commercial interests are sbak-
ing in the wind while Congress is wasting
time In discussion of questions OF privilege and
prerogative,- "a. s.-..-- ..... b. ...., .....,. ]
