Of the indifference of monopolies to the we'll
being of the public. We hope the parties re-
sponsibe for this attack on public interests will
receive merited reproof in the Courts Of law
The progress and development of New Jersey
were for a long time retarded by the monopoly
of the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company
This monopoly was obliged, however, to aban-
don the obstructive position it had taken up,
and we hope that no combination of vested
interests will be allowed to hamper the free
development of the resources of the neighbor-
ing State. If the attempt now being made
should be persisted in the duty of the Courts
will be clear. They must secure the right of
way to every citizen, and monopolists, by pre-
venting the establishment of new lines of
communication, practically deprive the people
of their natural right to go where they please,
and in their own way. With the experience of
past years before us of the value of railroads
in encouraging the growth of industries and
developing the latent resources of the districts
through which they pass, there can be no
reasonable doubt as to the advisability and
advantage Of multiplying them wherever the
facilities exist. As the roads are built at the
expense of private companies these ought to
be allowed to be the best judges as to the neces-
sity for their construction. In no case ought
we to permit rival corporation, for its own
selfish interest," to arrest work Of public
utility

The COLLAPSE OF THE LATEST SPANISH IN
sunREcT1oN. According to one of our latest
cable dispatches the insurrection which took
place few days ago in Ferrol, Spain, is
dead. It was our opinion at the outset
that the insurrection was local, not gen.
eral, and that it could not but result
in failure. Two days ago we learned
that the insurgents were hemmed in both on
land and on sea. Our news Of this morning
is to the effect that the insurrection was not
at certain hour put down simply because the
government was merciful. The insurgents
were shut up in the arsenal, and the command
ant Of the government forces delayed his in
tended attack because the municipal authori-
ties Of Ferrol requested delay on the ground
that arrangements we're being made for sur
render. The presumption now is that the
Ferrol attempt at insurrection has resulted in
failure, and that the would-be leaders of o
grand national rising are in prison. If such
be the fact, then Amadeus has won another
grand victory. Pity it is that the victory in
Spain should be clouded by cruelty in Cuba!

WALL STREET was all agog yesterday to
fathom the proceedings Of the Bank of Eng
land directors at their usual weekly meeting
this morning with reference to the discount
rate, on the alteration or retention of which
depend the current speculations in the gold
market, and more remotely, but not less in
tensely the speculation in the stock market.
Wall street will do or undo to-day, according
70 the action of the Bank of England, almost
as promptly as the throng on Lombard street.
Such is one Of the many changes wrought in
the world by the cable. whose novelty is out
lived by its surprises.

THE HACK DRIVERS ORDINANCE. regu-
lar hack drivers of the city, it appears, are
opposed to the proposed change in the city
ordinances by which the drivers were to be
authorized to leave their carriages for the pur-
pose of soliciting passengers. The President
pf the Coach Drivers Benevolent Protective
Society states that the change is sought only
by few outsiders and considers that it would
be detrimental to the public interests. The

The MEXICAN BORDER TROUBLES have
entered on new stage. While we had o
Commission taking evidence of the outrages
upon Texan settlers along the Rio Grande,
the Mexicans, it appears, had Commission
Of their own at work receiving testimony on
the same subject, but from purely Mexi-
can standpoint They intend to assert
that they are not to blame that it is
only one of the normal conditions Of society
in such places, and that Americans are inte-
rested in the raids as we'll as the citizens Of
their republic. The diaphanous nature Of
these arguments will be appreciated when our
Commissioners make their report. COM
promise Of some kind is to be proposed, and
the delightful normal state of Mexican
society to be offered as q pattern for
the rest Of the world. Our govern
ment has all along, for the sake of
international courtesy, pretended to assume
that Mexico was willing but unable to stop
these outrages; but this attempted ralliation
of their enormity should lead them now to
speak as they think. Of course this Mexican
apology is Of piece with England's special
pleading regarding the cruisers, and all in the
interest Of keeping down any future bill of
damages. Are we to have Mexican edition
of the ''due diligence" &C., of the Geneva
correspondence?

at sacrifice of blood and treasure which
swells to the proportions of the men and
money sacrificed by the First Napoleon in the
conquest Of Europe the people and govern
ment of the United States are free to speak
to England touching her duty and her respon-
sibilities in this matter of tho slave trade in
Africa. England left this blotch of slavery
as legacy to this country. She agitated the
denominations Of the American institution and
the abolition cause here for thirty years. and
when the issue was joined in battle, slavery or
emancipation, she turned against us, took
the side of King Cotton and slavery, and
hence those Alabama claims But as the High
Joint Commission and the Geneva Tribunal
have settled that ENHANCEMENT on the basis of
brotherly love. we will let by-gones be by
cones, and simply urge upon England her
duty and her policy in regard to this slave
trade of Eastern and Central Africa. She has
the glory, through her bold explorers, of
fixing the names of Albert and Victoria to the
great equatorial fountains of the Nile but a
greater glory will be hers (and our govern
ment and people will give her helping hand
in the good work) in winning tina glorious dis
tincton of the liberator of Africa from the
slave hunter and the slave trader.

The DistinguisLed Lecturers and Artists
Visiting I'm America.

Tho Distinguiskcd Lecturers and Artists
Visiting In America.
When Charles Dickens first undertook to
describe his experiences as young author in
the United States he gave us only the adyen-
lures of youthful architect seeking his for
tune among US. Twenty years later Mr..
Dickens came again, partly as guest and
partly as reader of his own works; and the
sum Of money he carried away with him
man and novelist. His example is now
followed by many other distinguished English
writer's and scholars Some weeks ago Ed
mund Yates, the novelist, appeared before an
American audience for the first time and
last night the historian Froude began q series
of discourses. in which he purposes giving his
American hearers the English side of the
Irish controversy. However opinions may diff
fer upon his view of the relations between
England and Ireland, his coming has in it the
compliment Of appealing to the intellect as
well as the humanity of people who have
tunes of the Irish. But not only do foreign
celebrities come among us to discuss with us
questions relating TO the political condition of
men. but Professor Tyndall's presence at this
time is proof that, in scientific matters,
American progress has been SO great as to
make America a place of interest to the
most learned scientists of the day. AS regards
music and dramatic art, this country for a
quarter of o century has been visited almost
every year by one or other of the leading
artists Of the Old World. Edmund Kean
owed his European success TO his American
reputation, and other actors followed him to
America in spite of his American experiences.
Grisi and Jenny Lind only paved the way for
the singers who came after them, and the
Nilsson of last year is succeeded by the Lucca
Of this. Perhaps American taste and progress
are shown with even greater distinctness in the
visits of such men as Wieniawski and Rubin
stein. There is nothing meretricious in the
accomplishments Of really great pianist, and
the want of this quality in Rubinstein's music
would have made visit among any but a cul-
tivated people an experiment too dangerous to
be undertaken All this tends to show the i'm
portant place America has assumed in the eyes
of the world, and its importance gains addi-
tional emphasis from the fact that our distin-
guished visitors come asking us to Judge of
their talents or their thoughts, and manifest
willingness to accept our judgment. In well
coming them we gain something from their
attainments or their accomplishments, and
they in return carry away with them fresher
feelings drawn from our younger life.
