and how exerted when sitting separately; ana
from that may be inferred their power iof
harm when acting in combination. But un-
fortunately tho matter is not left to inter,
ence. These three men constitute tho Generai
Term of tho Supreme Court OF this Dis'rlc',
and have, by reason of that fact, a greater
power than all the other Judges OF the court
combined for all questions on appeal from 'ne
lower branches must be heard and passed upon
by them; and what one Of them may decioe'
however wrong, while sitting at Special ierm'
the other two can sustain in General Term
where also they may overrule the honest ac,
ton or sustain the errors of the Crlmina,
Courts as shown in the cases OF Twceu anu

rupt men which the Reform Legislature iiu''
destroy, or leave Reform incomplete.

A correspondent has been struck by an idea
which he thinks of great value to the cause of
Temperance. Here it is:
"Onehaf, perhaps threoquartors, OF all the Wines and
Liquors used ia beverages are supposed 10 bo mixed
perhaps downright poison. Now by passing and cnforc-
ing laws making II criminal to manufacture or sell any
thing poisoned in that line-whch laws no reasonable

once"

The suit of Daniel Sheehan, formerly
Custom house employ6, to recover from
cx-Collector Thomas Murphy $50, paid as
political assessment on his salary, was dis
missed because it was proved that Sheehan
paid voluntarily. There vas no compulson.
Mr.. Cornell, who combined in his person the
offices of United States Surveyor of Customs
and Chairman of the Republican State Central
Committee, did not put pistol to Mr. Shee-
hams ear and demand his money or his life.
He did not even say to Sheehan, Pay or
"leave!" So there was no cOmpulsion and no
case. The payment was as voluntary on
Sheehan's part as it was on that of McGran,
to whom Mr.. Murphy swears he gave back
the contribution which had been wrung from
him by the system in vogue i'll the Custom
house. Mr.. Murphy had bowels for McGran
because he was poor" Sheehan had to
bring suit for his money, but of course he
did not get it, We commend the witnesses

S1HLNG At TIE SPiGOT.

There are suspicious at Albany that the
| Commissioners of Emigration have been spend
ing large appropriations in an unwarrantable
manner and running up debts not authorized
by law and inquiry has been instituted, or,
at least, urged. All this is very well; we shall
be glad to see strict investigation made, and
| that at once but it is only a new illustration
of the old folly of saving at tho spiSot while
wasting at the bung. Shllings may be thus
saved to the Treasury while pounds are thrown
away to the loss of the public who fill the
treasury by permitting the exactions Of Quar-
antne to continue unchecked.
If the Legislature really desires to save the
public funds, and at once relieve the mer-
chants of this city from the most grevous ex-
actions upon their trade, let action be taken
in the case of the Health Officer whose frauds
we exposed last August. DR.. Carnochan has
been shown to be the most corrupt official who
ever held that position. Charges that he had
been bribed for $4,000 to place the tOwage of
Quarantine into the hands of monopoly or
ganized for that purpose, have been freely
made and remain unanswered. A committee
of investigation will find no difficulty in es-
tablishing all that has been said of this mans
corruption and the loss he has entaed, by his
exactiOns, on our commerce. Indeed what has
been published will justify his immediate re-
moval. His retention during the next quar-
antine months will not be tolerated, and the
Legislature will not do wisely to adjourn
without needing this demand of the merchants
for relief from this leech. Gov. Hoffman
seems determined to sustain him for political
reasons, and the only hopes of the merchants
in this regard rest upon the Reform Legi,la-
turc.
They are already asking, too, The question
If they are to resort, in the same way TO Con-
gress for relief from the exactions of Leet g.
Co., to which another Executive delays put
ting summary stop. Their frauds, like those
of Carnocban are proved, and indeed may al.
most be said to be confessed. All that TIE
TRIBUNE, speaking for the merchants, origi-
nally charged against them has been fully
established, and the additional revelations of
their excessive charges and their depressing
effect on commerce given to-day are equally
susceptible of proof. Even those who defend
these men with all endiscreton ofpolitical par
tisans, forgetting that their offenses are against
the largest and most influential commercial class
in the country, and that they affect injuriously
the trade of our largest entrepot, admit the
impropriety of their conduct. They are help
ing this man Carnochan to drive commerce
lively too. They hold their places, according
TO all the evidence, only as CarnOchan does
hy personal favor Of the Executive. To Gov.

another week of grace, which will probably be
busy and momentous one. The jury. acting
under the advice of Mr.. O'COnor, found no

those against Tweed and Connolly, during the

his Ring friends, but will devote the

II is not surprising that Wm. NJ. Tweed
should have the audacity to 90 to Albany
aud claim to represent in the Senate the
city which he has plundered. The man
is not merely impudent; he is destitute
of every sentiment Of public decency; if
he were an inmate of BIidewel, out on
leave, he would think it roaring joke to
20 to Albany and faunt his brazenneSs in the
State House But if he goes, it is very well
understood that he goes with the promises of
certain Senators to give him the seat which
he claims. He has confidence in the power of
his ill-gotten gains to influence men. Let us
see if this hardened criminal has supporters
left him in the Senate.

Without discussing any of the legal points
raised in the message Of Gov. Woods of Utah,
vetOing a bill TO provide for a Constitutional
Convention it is plain that he takes the right
view of the expediency of the proposition.
There is no probability that Congress would
admit Utah as State, and a Convention to
form q Constitution would be an expensive
uselessness. The MormOns may resent the con-
duct of Gov. Woods, but they will be no
nearer the dignity of Statehood than before.

Republican politics have not been in whole
some condition in Georgia for some time. 1t
may be said that the Democratic political out
look is not whit more encouraging. What
with Foster Blodgett and ex-Gov Bullock the
Republicans are in bad way and Alexander
ii. Stephens is worrying the Democracy great
deal with his ancient theories and musty
opinions. But a TRIBUNE correspondent, writ
ing from Atlanta, gives q clearer view of the
whole situation than has lately been made
public. 1t will be seen that the Republican
State Central Committee of Georgia has fallen
into the same arbitrary habit of doing things
which is just now very generally affected by
party managers in other States.
