DIFFERENCES At albany.

The moneys raised by annual taxation for
our City's expenses during the current fiscal
year have either been squandered by our late
rulers, or were originally inadequate, or both.
About Four Millions of Dollars are needed to
pay arrearages up to the list inst, and as much
more to carry us thence to the end of the
fiscal year-May 1st.
Mr.. Rush c. Hawkins has submitted to the
Assembly bill which provides for the arrear-
ages up to the list inst. Mr.. TwOmbly pro-
poses a substitute which adds to this adequate
provision for the rest Of the fiscal year. These
rival propositions have evoked a discussion,
which seems to us characterized by more heat
than light.
We cannot doubt that Mr.. Twombly's is the
better bill. Our City must necessarily engross
much of the present session; and her author
tiles should study to make their applications
as few as possible, and never present two bills
whero one would answer. To provide in one
bill for arrearages up to the list inst, and then
submit another bill, giving authority to Dor
row the means of providing for just such de-
fciencies throughout the four ensuing months,
is trihing with the Legislature and consuming
its time unwarrantably. We cannot see why
this should be insisted on.
But, gentlemen of the majority this is quite
a subordinate matter. If the Legislature sees
fit to consider, mature and pass, two bills in
stead of one, the City can stand it. Do not
allow yourselves to become excited and alien
ated on a matter so nOn-essential. Pass your
one bill or two bills, as may seem advisable,
and be ready to go on with the great work of
correcting abuses and retrenching expenses,
not merely in the City, but throughout the
State. If you look sharply into the manage
ment of our Canals, our State Printing, our
Finances generally, you will find wrongs to
right and corruptions to rebulSe, in other
counties as well as in this. Be fearless and
thorough in dealing with the plunderers of
our City, their works and their ways, but do
not forget that there are others which likewise
demand consideration and require prompt and
positive action.

Mr.. Carter, the expelled Speaker of the
Louisiana Assembly, seems determined to COM
pei the interference of the troops. When no
besought the President to lend him force to
drive the Legislature from the temporary State
House, where it is in session, he was told that
the National Government would not interfere,
except to preserve the public peace. He has
now issued an infammatory address announc-
ing that he will forthwith proceed, with his
Sergeants-at-A Arms" to take possession of the
State House, and drive ont the police. The
Legislature is supported by the State Militia
and Metropolitan Police; Carter, who claims
to be Speaker of the Assembly, has two thou
sand men sworn in as Sergeants- at-Arms of
his mock Legislature at the Gem bar-room.
If Carter carries out his threats, there will DO
collision and bloodshed. Carter has nothing to
lose, but we take it for granted that he will
gain nothing in the end.

4 POUTING PRESIDENT.

Mr. Theirs would seem to be entering his
second and final childhood, if we are to judge
by the report of his extraordinary proceedings
of the last few days. AS soon as the Chamber
had rejected Mr.. Pouyer-Quertiers bill for the
tariff on raw material, the President sent in
his resignation and those of the other men,
bers of his Cabinet. This act showed clearly
enough that the suspicion was just which
accused him of being the real author
of the bill which was introduced by
the Minister of Finance. All the triumphs
of his life have not weaned him from his
early love of economical subjects. He still
considers himself the ablest tnancer in
France, and exercises a more controlling per-
sonal interest in the administration of the
Ministry of Finance than in that of any
other branch of the. Government. 1t seems.
therefore, that it was rather movement of
wounded vanity than any conviction OF par
liamentary necessity which Occasioned this
petulant resignation. Whatever may have
been its motive, its results were probably
very gratifying TO the veteran Minister.
All parties in the Assembly and the
country semed stricken with horror at the
prospect of losing the chief of the Executive
power. The irrevereDt members who had re-
iected the bill made haste to explain that
their votes were to be taken purely in
financial and not at all in political sense. All
shades of opinion appeared to join in the loyal
petitions to the President to stay. The De-
partments sent in their adjuratiOns by
telegraph. And so at last Mr.. Theirs,
who really seems not to have desired the
death of the sinner but rather that he should
be sOundly frightened and taught his place,
consented to take up again his burden of Off
cial cares. But he plainly told the Committee
of the Assembly who came to him that he
could not stand many more such scenes that
he expected there would be just such q disa-
greement coming up on other important ques-
TONS especially those of the Church and the
Army. And he wished to warn them now Of
the risk they were running in crossing his
desires.
1t is to be hoped that this incident may re-
suit in bringing home to the people as well as
to their legislators some sense of the danger
and insecurity involved in trusting 80 much
in the hands of any one man. Mr.. Theirs is
at once President of the Republic Minister.
and Deputy. He assists in initiating laws
which he is to discuss and vote ON,
and, If passed, to execute. Whenever the
majority Of the Chamber differ from
Linn on any leading point, he is
confronted by that practice of free eonstitu-

Something is certainly wrong with the Saw
ings Banking system of the State. Possibly
tho popular suspicion Of some of the Savings
institutions of this city is unfounded; but there
have been several fragrant instances of mis-
management of these banks, of which the latest
is that of the Market Savings Bank. 1t is in
credible that any body of intelligent directors
should permit an officer of the bank to take
the securities of the concern into Wall-st. and
hypothecate them for speculative purposes, and
carry on this practice for years but this is just
what has been done, it is said, by one OF the
officers of this institution, which is now in the
hands of q receiver. This is downright rob-
berry of the poor, and the scandalous miscOn-
duct of this and other Savings Banks calls I'M
peratively for legislative interference. AS
things are now, individual responsibility ap-
pears to be the only security of the poor de-
pOsitOrs.

q. S. Attorney Bates of the District of Utah

question, which he, of course, thinks better
than any other. 1t is that the present prose-

adultery, be discontinued, but the Mormons be
Informed that they must do so no more"
3he objection to Delegate Hoopers plan
(which is to admit Utah as State on condi-
zion of giving up poygamy) is that the Nor
Gons consider it divine ordinance. What

the subject of polygamy with people who
believe it to be necessary to their religious

Here is minister. one Elder Moore of Cincinnati
preaching about the sins of the newspapers, and
among other things. he says that " The TRIBUNE
assails the Custom-ho Ring and President Grant
and attempts to apologize for and answer th,
charges made against Tammany." Some dAy. per
haps we shall preach about the sins of the clergy,
and we shall point to Elder Moore as an exambled
what the catechism calls Lying, evil speaking and
slandering." The reverend gentleman has the folly
to talk about newspapers without knowing whatb
in them. THE TRIBUNE never assails President
Grant. 1t opposes his denomination, but has not
word to say against his character. As for the story
that we attempt to apologize for and answer the
charges made against Tammany," it is a fiat lie
which Mr. Moore has probably copied from In
Times But his ignorance does not excuse HMM
repeating it. Have these reverend chatterborew

FHAT CUSTOM-HOUSE OFFICERS DON'T

One of the most curious exposures of the
Custom house Investigation is the prevalence
of dense and unaccountable ignorance among
the majority of the accomplished gentlemen
to whom contidlng country has entrusted
the collection of its revenues. How they have
managed to see so much and know so little
to live in the busiest haunts of a commercial
city, mingle with all sorts of men, manage the
intricate details of political conventions and
penetrate the mysteries of commerce, and yet
emerge from this turmoil as unsophisticated
as ool-bOys and as ignorant Of wicked ways
as st. Simeon Stylites, is one of the prob
lens of the age that seems to battle solu-
ton. Here is Mr.. Surveyor Cornell for

DIGGING GRAVEL.
From The Times

While the Legislature is in the humOr for

would it not DO well 10 institute inquiry into the

BY this little transaction the axpayers swnded
out of $685. oOo and Mr. Hustled has volunteered
no PLANTATION of his share in the fraud, the Legislature
and the public have the alternative of branding him
dishonest. of requesting him to vindicate himself
Comments by The Tribune.
Whether the statement copied above from
The Times is true or otherwise, we 10 not
know, hut we assume that it must be some
thing like the truth. 1t involves no Necessary
imputation of fraud as against Hustled, Frear
az Co." any more than if they had bought
ten thousand barrels of Apples of the farmers
of Westchester County, and sold them in our
City at good profit. But the implication
clearly is that this Gravel contract is ON I'M
derhand method of paying Mr. Hustled for
Legislative services to Tweed L. Co.; and this
renders investigation imperative.
Mr.. Hustled Is Republican, and has been
classed as "Fenton Republican, He has

in his ability and efficiency. If he is jObber.

that this Gravel story DO investigated by
the friends and allies of his defamers Let
Mr.. Speaker appoint three members of tho

that Poekskill gravel-pit, and report whether
there be OF BIO not any decaying African

of old Westchester, to move the needed inves-

The announcement of an intended reform in
the matter of making Federal appointments for
Territories will encourage the hardly-used citi-
rens of those remote parts of the Republic
while there have been some excellent and
worthy appointments made to the Territories
they have been used, for the most part, as the
last resort of unsuccessful politicians, whose
applications for Office had run all the way
down from frst-class foreign mission to
that which they eventually secured One would
suppose that Territories as old as are ma
jority of ours, would be able by this time to
furnish material for judges, attorneys and
governors. But they are invariably subject to
importations from Washington.
