New York SpGculations.

If the object and purpose of fair
trade, md honorable commercial
dealing, be the exchange OF cquiva-
lent for mental benefit, it is equally
true, in accordance with cvcry prin-
ciple of political economy, that q
spirit Of speculation, must tond to
dcrango tho course Of such trado, and
necessarily degrade tho operation of
commerce to n system Of hazards and
gambling. Spcculatiou.looiis to its own

r 9ducing tho State Dobt,

Reducing tho State Dobt.
The able Columbia correspondent
of tho News and Courier, Qut Viue,
predicts that at tho extra session of
Legislature, three schemes will be
proposed for reducing the State debt,
Tho schemes arc to be engineered by
rs many rings. The first ring is Of the
hrm namc of M1:to", Bliss 4 Co., and
is said to humbcr llogc rnd Card o.,
among its active members. 1t pro-
poses to bull the five classos Of bonds
embraced in the mandam,,s decision,
and to have the conversion bonds and
other Fraudulent issues cancellcd.-
The second ring, Of which nr. Ncaglo
Is head centre, proposes to bunch the
whole outstanding liabilities of the
State, including the dcfunct bond
aorip and unpail certificates, ard to
make an equal scaling. The third
party, headed by the Governor and
Attorney General, propose to scale

Judge Nackey.

Judge Nackey.
We have not had IN opportunity
heretofore Of noticing tho opinion of
j r.go N"ckcy delivered in tho case
relating TO the issuance of bonds by
''e County Commissioners of York.
Ji"'co Mackoy, decides that tho COM
Missioners have Tho right to issue
bonds fer tho railr DAD under tho sta
tnto granting tho charter. In his
opinion, ho maintains, first. that the
statute offers from all other similar
statutes heretofore passed, in tho
omission Of tho clause requiring
vet" Of tho people. This boing tho
case, it is necessary to assume that
the Legislature did not contemplate
gu. II vote being taken. Secondly,
That tho County il q body corporate
and tho Legislature has :ho power to
permit tho County Commissioners,
who control this corporation, to i'm.
p@;o tax .,I tho benefit of high.
ways. Thirdly, That railroad is
Highway, ami therefore it eau bo aid
c.! by fumes raised by taxation. Several
minor points lao aro decided. The
opinivn is we'll written and is nbun.
dainty supported by cmincut authori.
ties. Wcmust say that the line Of
arGumcnt appears COZ elusive.
We arc however opposed to this
granting Of railroad subsidies. Wc
therefore trust that tho Supreme
Court may be more wise than wc, and
dotect some flaw in Judge Mackoy's
argument.
Wo have nil along opposed the
measure, not so much on tho ground
Of legality as or exn"dicncy. The
oin's&cn Of the Important clause ro-
IuiriMg Il votc Of the pooplc is dam
aging, 10th to the drawers up Of the
Charter, ana to tho Legislature who
failed to rcctify tho omission. This
rowor is n dangerous one. The Com
missionors could as we'll have given a
subsidy Of a million dollars as of q
hundred thousand.
If tho constitution, as it stands,
opens such an avenue of fraud as thia,
II should be Immediately amended.

Since an English commissioner ordered
