in tho city. 1t will be noticed that the net
earnings of nearly all of these lines are large
even admitting that no reduction can be
made from the expenses charged in the
schedule. The natural inference is that prop
erty which pays so handsomely as this, and
having lin some cases. almost exclusive occu-
patton of the public streets, ought to pay the
City or State something for it's valuable
franchise. As it is here are lines of travel
which indirectly cost the municipality great
deal of money, but pay nothing therefor, ana
earn 100000 or 100000 per year for Their
stockholders.

NEW YORK..

a New YoRk.e Nays .-The Herald THU
morning editorially reviews the position
Of the administration regarding the A Ia
bama difficulty, and thinks the admins
tration is threatening Spain TO cover III
surrender to England, and that the in
structions given TO Slckles to demand
his passport etc, are nothing more thar
intrigues aud snbterfugesa Of the ad
ministration. II als0 urges. as the only
way to get clear Of the difficulty, the i'm
mediate retirement of Fish and the ap
pointment of Washburne. ~ 49,
The Herald has . special from Lon
don this morning TO the effect that DR.
Livingston, the African explorer, has
been found, and Is safe with Stanley, the
Herald correspondent d.
There was rumor current yesterday
and positively reasserted this morning
TO the effect that John Graham and +.
T. Gerry, counsel for Stokes. the muir
derer of Fisk, have Abandoned the case.
The immediate reason appears to be that
Stokes was dissatisfied with the manner
Of conducting the defense, and issued
his recent card to the public against the
advice OF his counsel. Itis also stated
that the only Remaining counsel, VIM
o. Bartlett, is about TO withdraw.
A Tribune special from Washington
says that after the withdrawal of Sickles
40 minister will be Sent to Madrid, I'M
less some disposition is indicated to re-
open negotiations upon a more trust
worthy basis. The attitude Of the
United States will not therefore be hos
tile, butsimply expectant. Some months
ago the Spanish government intimatea
10 ours that the appointment Of a min
lister of less liberal Views than Sickles
would be agreeable.

ROLLING ON.

Beyond a temporary organization and
few speeches, there was nothing done
st Cincinnati yesterday. At twelve
o'clock Colonel Grosvenor, Chairman OF
the Missouri Executive Committee that
called the Convention, called the dele
gates to order. Hon. Stanley Mathews,
OF Ohio, was made temporary chairman.
His speech was a good one. Schurz
made a short speech, and promised to
speak more at length. The Convention
is very full, and seems TO be intent on
carrying out the Liberal movement.
The delegates will certainly nominate q
Presidential ticket, but will find discord
at every step they take. There are too
many aspirants. The stock of Greeley
appears to be running highest, bat
it is probable that a compromise
candidate will be agreed on. We do
not know what the temper,of the Demo-
Gratis Of the North is as to the candidate,
but the people of the South will take
either the first or the second, or the third
man, if with him the military, martial
law, war-in-time-ofpeace administration
can be driven from power. Perhaps, if
any other man, or at least any man OF a
proud, sensitive disposition, were Presi-
dent, the Liberal movement, eliminated
as it hasin the Convention at Cincinnati.
would not only make him decline the
nomination at Philadelphia, but force
him to resign the remnant OF his term OF
Office as President But Grant is not
made Of that sort Of stuff. Still, he cam
not be insensible of the fact that he is
abandoned by the best men who carried
him into power.

THE USKIND CUT.

The way matters are going on, the
savior Of the Union, the second Washing
ton and the President Of the United
States, will soon have ne friends except
the ofice-holders. The desertion Of him
by eminent civilians was bad enough,
but when the officers Of the army and
the Commander-in-C of the Grand
Army of the Republic, General Il. A.
Barnum, shuttle him of, it is cutting it a
little too fat. In connection with some
other officers he has out circular re-
commencing that the Philadelphia Con-
vention nominate some one other than
Grant. 1t is too late even to throw
Grant overheard by the Philadelphia
Convention. The plunderers whom he
leads must make up their minds to take
the fate of their master. That particu-
lar division Of the party cannot improve
on Grant. Any man it will nominate
will smell just the same. Where are
the bayonets? Let the bafled man take
his revenge on some defenseless South
ern State.

by the preacher rises the hugest Of organs
that monstrous musical edifice erected origl-
nally at Boston for the celebration of Gllmore's
peace Jubilee. But 1t Is the man himself who
gathers the crowd. He is spare in figure,
harsh and shril in voice, somewhat uncouth
in gesture, with pleasant, ruddy face. He is
outspokep abreast of the times, pathethic
and bu..orous, sometimes severely caustlc.
He is cratic, grotesque, fervid. There is no
rhetorical law to his figures-nor, for that mat
fer. to his sermons, which may have an exor-
dlum and peroration, or may have neltheri
which may start anywhere, and, to use q
favorite Brooklynism, may land '"anS-
ssWhhther." But they have life in them, natu-
ralness, seasonableness, power. Here and
there appears ON alluslon which Southern
reader will not like, and which might have
very we'll been left out, now that the martial
passion Of former years has subsided. Here
and there on illustration, without dignity or
harmony, shocks the refined taste. But there
are many admirable things also, whether IN
conception, expression or argument. The col
lection will be cordially welcomed by the relig-
ious public, and will do good.
