ORR STATE CANALS,

Many of our readers will have seen, though
probably few have taken to heart, the propO-
sition submitted to tho Assembly by Mr..
Alvord, looking to fresh loan of $6,50O 900, or
thereabout, for the payment-Or funding,
rather-of what we may distinguish as the
floating debt of our Canals. That the bill
will be passed, the loan made, and a new tax
to pay it, principal and interest, imposed on
our citizens, we presume inevitable. Not to
complain especially of this, but to elucidate
the system to which it pertains, THE TRIBUNE
invites thereto the attention of taxpayers.
Twelve or fifteen years ago, our State adopted
the plan of contracting for the repair and
preservation of her Canals. In this, she did
right Up to that time it had been the interest
of each division superintendent to have breaks
occur on his section. So long as there was no
break, no stoppage of navigation, he had
slender chances to enrich himself or benefit
his party; but q good, fat break, no matter
how caused, was gOd-mine for both.
He could hire men and teams at exOrbitant
rates he could buy timber and plank at twice
their value, and, if any one demurred, he
could plausibly plead that he was obliged to
pay whatever was asked in order to stop the
DTedh dJ OuCc. IL bOIu6 tdSCl
for fat job, dug channel across the tow
path some dark, rainy night, and thus caused
O break that stopped navigation and cost the
State tens of thousands of dollars, what of il
He would not be likely to expose himself;
and what could the Superintendent do but
make all right again at the earliest moment
The Contract system was designed and cal
culated to bring a strong private interest to
bear against the occurrence of breaks and in
terruptions Unlike the SuperinteDdent's, the
Contractors interest impelled him to have his
section watched and guarded against the be-
ginnings of peril and disaster. He could well
afford to hire men to traverse his section
whenever storm or flood threatened its en-
bankments with overflow, ready to sound the
alarm wherever break was imminent and
apply the needed remedy, if remedy were
within his grasp. Under contracts properly
drawn, STIMULATING the needful security, there
ought not to be one break Of any consequence

ENGLISH INEBRLATE ASYLCMS.

We learn that the British Parliament has
formally invited Drs Parrish and Dodge, Su-
perintendents of the Sanitariums OF Bingham
ton and Media, to appear before that body to
give detailed history of 1nebriate Asylums
in this country, the system of treatment
adOpted i'm them and its success. The invita-
ton was received last week, and has been ac-
ccpted. There is little doubt that the testi-
mony of these gentlemen will materially in
fluence Parliament in the establishment of
Inebriate Asylums in England, bill to
which end is now before it, as action In the
matter has only been delayed during the last
year until the results of the experiment In
America could be fully known. The basis OF
the system used in our asylums is the hy-
pothesis that the inebriate is diseased person,
| and should be subjected to rational physical
remedies, rather than to infamed appeals to a
| moral sense and will already weakened and
| ineffective. While every effort il used to in
cite his sef-control and latent feelings OF honor
| and manhood his nerves, stomach, and brain,
| diseased by the Alcoholic poisoning, are not
neglected, as has been too long the case, but
are aided to recovery by the same means
which science yields to any other form OF
human bodily ailment.
| We note the summons of these leading hu-
manitarians to England as one of the most
important symptoms of progress of the times.
The evil which they successfully combat is
one which has heretofore condemned one
third of the English and American people to
crime or disease and death. If we can send
to our sister country the means of efficient re-
lief, the embassy should rank highest among
Christian messengers Of national good will
and helpful human brotherhood.

CIVILIZATION At TIE SOUTH.

We have done nearly all that can be done
by Legislation for the reconstruction of the
Southern States; but there is q crying neces-
sity for something more. When we restored
the broken machinery of political administra-
ton we only began the task. Civilization does
not necessarily follow the ballot and the right
of representative government; 1t is the fruit
of moral and intellectual culture, and we
never shall get it 10y reconstruction acts or
amendments to the Constitution. At the close
of the war we had some peculiar difficulties
to face in the Southern States. The white
population as a body was dcbarred from par
tcipatng in the labor of regeneration, and
not disposed to cooperate cordially in Northern
philanthrOpic efforts. Nearly four millions of
newly emancipated colored people had to be
raised from the condition Of slavery, ignOr-
ance, and absolute dependence upon their
masters to the dignity of independent citizens
and voters. 1t was upon them practically that
we attempted to build the new political
structure. The situation was discOuraging
but unavoidable; and it is no wonder
that the edifce founded upon ignorance
and social degradation has disappointed the
hopes of the sanguine. In some respects the
blacks have used their new powers wisely. As
people they have grown in manliness of
character, and in many parts OF the country
they have improved in habits of industry and
in material prosperity. Generally speaking,
they have learned how to protect their per-
sonal and political rights. But in the intOxi-
cation of sudden political enfranchisement
they have fallen victims to an infamous horde
of adventurers from the Northern States
whose robberies they lack the sagacity, and
perhaps the instinct Of responsibility, to pre-
vent. The shrewder and more unscrupulOus
of their own people have joined hands with
these thieving carpet t-baggers, and the result
is reign of corruption and oppression en-
tirely without parallel in the history of the
United States. One after another the unfOr-
tunate communities seem to be rushing into
bankruptcy. Whatever little conscience may
have now and then shown itself there in the
management of public affairs is fast becoming
extinguished And as 1T always happens. the
rascality of the rulers reacts upon the people,
so that politically the whole country is lapsing
into decentralization.
The whites are doing nothing TO arrest this
downward course. Many of them are only q
little less ignorant than the freedmen, and
certainly less ambitious. The better class are
separated from their former slaves by great
gulf, which the infamies Of carpet-bag rule
and the absurd Withholding of amnesty are
daily making wider. On the one side we have
a carnival Of theft and license; on the other
the horrors Of midnight scourgings and assas.

violence of the Ku-Klux, and wiser admin
istration at Washington may yet abate the
scandals of federal completely with the corrupt
local authorities; and even after these partial
reforms shall have been effected the fact will
remain that political society at the South rests
upon a foundation of ignorance and irrespon-
sibility, and upon such a basis virtuous ana
prosperous State can never be erected. REFORM
must begin at the bottom. To create happy
and well ordered body polite, we must first Gre
ate good citizens. What the South wants now -
not military commanders, and carDct-bag Con-
gressmen, and stump orators, ana collectors
of internal revenue, but missionaries Inc
churches are doing something for religion
some of them are doubtless doing their best
and the Roman Catholics have lately sent ont
body of priests from England who are now
raising money at the North expressly Tor the
eyaugelizatiOn of the Southern negroes But
in the work of secular education we may all
be called upon to do our share, irrespective Oh
creed. The common school system cannot be
so thoroughly applied in the thinly settled
South as IN our more fortunate region, and
there are various other reasons why 1t VIII at
once reach the black population. The most
hopeful of the plans brought to our notice Tor al
fccting this great mass Of ignorance looks to the
training of colored teachers. Many believe that
it is only through their own race that the
| freedmen can be eifcctualy raised, and that II
is to their own race that they must look for
| the missionaries Of culture who shall lcad
| them out of the present darkness. Certainly
| an educated colorcd man will have hundred
advantages in dealing with his own people
which another would not have, and will reach
class upon which the most heroic and perse-
| yering of Northern teachers would make but
| little impression.
The Normal School at Hampton, Va, is es-
tablished upon this idea. 1t has u grant OF
| Agricultural Land Scrip from the State OF
| Virginia sufficient to secure an income OF De-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 a year; and Gen.
Armstrong, the superintendent, now appeals
to public generosity in aid of the permanent
fund which is to provide for the remaining
expenses of the institution. The amount re-
auired is 100000, and of this about one-thlrd
| has been subscribed. We believe the project
to be one Of very grave Importance, and If 1t
be faithfully carried out, not for year OF
two, but for many years, the happiest results
| ought to flow from it. At any rate 1t de-
| mandS Il trial

RdpTD TRANSIT SCHEMES.


Considerable progress has been made with
the numerous schemes for rapid transit city
RAILWAYS, now before the Legislature The
Senate has passed the Beach Pneumatic and
the Swain Three-Tier bills. The Gilbert Ele-
waited plan was also discussed in the Senate,
Yesterday, and recommittcd. In the Assembly.
on the other hand, the Beach Pneumatic bill
was reported on adversely, while the
Central Underground scheme was ap-
proved by the Committee. These plans
for the most part, are designed 10
meet the requirements of rapid transit, safe
and easy access, accommodation for snort ana
long distances, light and ventilation, small
cost of construction, and avoidance OF de-
str,Iction of private property. 1t would be an
endless task to attempt to describe all the
projects which have been laid before the Leg
islature, as they are some seventeen, or more,
in number, comprising every imaginable
variety of invention.
The Beach Pneumatic plan is pretty Wen
known, since the small finished section which
is open to the public as show has gwen II
some notOriety already. The Company ask
for liberty to construct tunnel railway from
the Bowling green under Broadway, to Cen
tral Park, with a branch under FOurth-ave. to
Harlem River. The theory of its working IS
that put in practice i'll London, pneumatic
pressure being used. The Company ask
| leave to make a tunnel, not to exceed 1S feet
in hight and 81 in width The Swain Three
Tier bill contemplates line on the West side
of the City which shall have a sunken subway
for freight, surface tracks for horse-cars, and
an elevated structure for a doubletrack steam
| railway The Gilbert scheme involves an
elevated tubular line over Chatham-st., the
Bowery. and Third-ave., the propelling
power to be atmospheric pressure. Its
success looks dubious The Central Under
ground Railroad Company have charter
granted by the Legislature in 1868, but are
now seeking an amendment changing their
route to Broadway. Under their present char
| ter, the Company may construct an under
| ground railway from point near the City Hall,
thence by way of City Ilall-place and Mulberry
st.. across blocks, to and through Lafayette
place to Fourth-aye., UniOn-square, Twenty
third ST., Madison-square, Madlson-ave. to
Harlem River. Some small beginnings have
been made on this work at BOnd-st. and Nine
ty-sixth-st.-enough, the Company claim, to
hold their charter. Much doubt is expressed
| if we shall ever have an underground line,
but contest is clearly evident between this
last t-named and the Beach Pneumatic scheme.
Of the other plans, the Viaduct, now consd-
cred dead is already well known. The
Arcade project, prominent at one time, which
took the line of Broadway to Union-square,
with branches to the Hudson and Harlem
Rivers, has made no appearance lately. The
demand for the execution of some plan for
rapid cheap, and safe transit is, meantime,
pressing Trade and population almost desert
the lower part of the island; mortality in
creases; property depreciates in value, and the
cry for relief is loud, imperative, and urgent.

GFVER1L ORDER TRADING.

Mr. Bowen, who lately set up as judge on
The TRIBUNE's course in exposing General
Order Irregularities, has suddenly found more
pressing work. Yesterday he spent in trying
to rub the General Order filth off his own
garments and this morning we give him all
the space he asks for the wash. AT best, it is
unsavory work; and, such as it is, he has
i'll luck at it.
We published documents, over his own sig
nature, showing him to have been concerned
in farming out the East River General Order
business for payment of thirty per cent OF
the gross receipts to himself and his associates,
in return for political influence.
Squire and Johnson parties Of the first part and Henry
c. Bowen r. Z. Bowen, and Frederick Lambert. parties
OF the second part do hereby that the parties OF
the part shall pay the parties of the second part
or their heirs and assigns thirty per cent on the storage
Of all order unclaimed goods sent to the store
Of the parties ohe first part on and after this date In
monthly payments as the goods go out so long as the
direction OF General Order unclaimed goods s subject
to the OF said parties OF the second part And
said parties OF the second part do agree that the parties
Of the part shall continue In undstubed receipt Of
said unclaimed goods during the time above specified.
The first name signed to this agreement was
that of Henry G.. Bowen; and he wrote be-
sides an lnulVluual leltcT, HOW III our pOSScs-
sion, giving his individual consent and sane
"tion to the arrangement" and profiering assu-
rance that he had made it right with the
Collector Well: Mr.. Bowen admits it all but
claims that he did it solely for his asso-
cates,-Providence having about that time
shown him that he must devote his own
talents to religious newspaper and enters
besides the plea-i bar that, anyway, the thirty
per cent amounted to but a beggarly sum.
We need go no further. Doubtless, Mr.. Bow
ems successors have improved on his methods,
and are able to make more out Of the plum
but he admits himself the first of the Leets.
He exacted thirty per cent. from the commerce
on the East River, which went to General Or
der stores, giving in return nothing whatever
but political influence. He says he didn't get
the money himself. Mr.. johnson, with whom
the bargain was made thinks he got his share
of it, That is their affair, and is Of no conse-
,quence to the public.
1t only remains to note that ex-Collector
Barney fatty repudiates Mr.. Bowens proiessod
authority to make any bargain about the matter
at all This, If accepted would seem to the car
nal mind ~ reduce tue whole transaction to
