not DC the democratic candidate for the United
states Senate, and as the liberal republicans
can DO nothing without cooperation with the
democrats the question recurs. Upon what
oasis, II they combine at all will the demo-
Gratis and anti Grant liberals combine in this
coming Fall campaign? The Ohio democracy
have taken new departure back to their old
party sanctuary Will the New York democ-
racy fight it out on this line? We think it
likely that they will follow the lead, as in 1871
and 1872, of their Ohio brethren. What, then,
will become of our liberal republicans? We
cannot answer, and SO we await further devel-
opments.

ANOTHER ATLANTIC CABLE.-The steamer
with the wire on board has left Lisbon, Portu-
gal, for the purpose Of laying cable between
chat point and Rio Janeiro, Brazil This will
be an important addition to our Atlantic
cables, with a regularly connected line be-
tween Brazil and Key West, and we cannot
iloubt that with the establishment OF the cable
between Brazil and Portugal land and water
lines connecting with it will rapidly follow
from all the South American States, in addi-
ton to through line from Rio Janeiro to
Kew West and thence to New York.

The New York Republics ns-Thc Coll
for State Convention.

The Republican State Central Committee
have appointed Wednesday, September "a, as
the day and the city of Utica as the place for
the meeting of the State Convention, which is
to nominate the party candidates for our
State Offices to be. elected next November,
and the platform upon which the party will
fight this impending State battle. Very little
public interest is manifested at present in
reference to this political contest; but the
fact that the prevailing idea among the
people seems to be that the democracy of the
city will be apt to rise in sufficient force
and unity to recover the balance of
power in the State will give to this Utica
Convention a degree of political Importance
which will involve, to some extent, the shaping
of the next Presidential contest. Upon the
Legislature to be chosen in this coming cleo
ton will devolve the election of United
States Senator in the place of Fenton, anti
Gran. or liberal republican, whose present
term draws to close, and upon the question
of his successor we may anticipate sharply
defined and animated contest for the Legis-
lature

the first things that should be done is to
abolish the duty'on that article. The British
North American colonies could and would
supply the large cities and vast population
along the Atlantic seaboard with coal cheaper
than it is now obtained from Pennsylvania.
This would be An immediate relief, and, as
was said before, it would be just as reasonable
to tax the food we eat as it is to impose duty
on this other prime necessity of life duty
which only goes to benefit these same coal
and railroad monopolists of Pennsylvania
Here Congress can act directly and efficiently.
Nothing would tend so much to bring the
monopolists to their senses. But, apart from
the blessing this cheapening of coal would
be to the poor and people at large, it would go
far to promote manufacturing industry, which
depends much upon the use Of that
article. Still, that would brlise only one
of the heads of the hydra monopoly.
Aroused public sentiment is necessary
to influence Congress and the State
Legislatures to make such laws as will restrain
unscrupulous and grasping corporations
Congress has the constitutional power to pass
usury laws to protect the people, and why can
not that body reach species of oppression
far more intolerable to the mass of the people
than usuryP The farmers have begun to at
tack vigorously some of the monopolies, and
notably that of the railroads. If public
opinion can be aroused North, East, West
and South-both the federal and State govern
ments will be constrained to act. The same
power that created monopoly or has given
vitality to it through special or general laws
can destroy it. The interest of the general
public is the first thing to be considered.
Then, if the pressure of public sentiment be
brought to bear forcibly upon the monopolists,
they will be apt to yield. If we mistake not
there is mighty conflict coming between the
industrious masses and the great monopo-
lizing corporations and the people and press
should be prepared for it.

nous dividends and to enrich themselves.
Unless some means be found to check the
grasping cupidity of the railroad companies in
Pennsylvania the whole coal region of that
State will soon belong to them. Now they
have complete monopoly Of transportation,
and, as consequence, charge pretty much
what they please, or control the market price
by regulating the supply. With the possession
of the coal fields their power will be absolute
We refer to coal particularly because that is
the theme of our article; but the railroad
monopoly has its grip upon the industrial
pursuits of the country generally The farmers
of the West have felt this and are organizing
to protect themselves. The railroads have
seized a large portion of the public lands
through the power they have exercised at
Washington and over the State governments
and make the hardy settlers pay both a high
price for these lands and extravagant charges
for transporting the products. Everywhere the
evils Of railroad extortion are the same-in the
thickly populated North as we'll as in the West.
Every citizen who sends his produce to mar
ket or travels is charged rates to pay dividends
on nominal or inflated capital One-third, at
least, OF the nominal capital Of the railroads,
taking them throughout the whole country, is
fictitious and never cost cent The argyll
ment some urge, that the railroads are great
boon, and, therefore, that the people ought
not to complain of high charges, is poor
one. We admit that the capital bona fde in
vested should receive q reasonable profit.
Nor would we impose restrictions that might
check enterprise in making railroads. But
the public should not be called upon to paw
exorbitant rates for dividends on bogus
capital. The same reasoning will apply to
the coal menopolists who appropriate the coal
fields and forestall or withhold the supply in
order to enrich themselves.
Where are we to look for remedy for this
great and increasing svil3 As to coal, one o.

rather extraordinary scene for court Of
justice marked the close OF the Justh scandal case
in the Town Hall at Jamaica yesterday. As Is very
natural, popular feeling runs in favor OF whatever
party is put upon the defensive; but when the
party defendant is a woman, attractive, talented
and seemingly prosecuted by the very person
who above all others should be her protector and
guardian, Impulse and sympathy generally usurp
the place OF Judgment and reason In this particu-
lar case, however, law and Justice themselves come
in it were 'knights errant' to do their devoirs
for the lady put upon her trial. The Justh
scandal case is familiar TO the readers
of the HERALD. IL has been upon trial
in the Court House at Jamaica, occupying some
ten days in all. The charge against Mrs. Justh was
most serious one and would have involved serious
punishment, forever furnishing the honor OF her
fair fame and that OF her family The prosecution
in which Mrs. Justh was the defendant closed yes
terday. Feeling in her favor ran high among the
people, and wnen counsel for and against had con-
cluded very able arguments, and the Court pro-
nounced the charge against MIS-. Justh unsus-
tanned and that she was consequently acquitted, a
burst Of applause such as the Jamaica Court House
never echoed to before bespoke the feelings OF the
people. Mr. Townsend, Mrs. Justh's counsel,
anxious for the fullest vindicaton OF his fair Gil
cnt, said, 'Judge, honorably acquitteds" Hon
orably acquitted" returned the Judge. And so
closed the Justh scandal case

THE RTS.

Bills of indictment have been presented by the
Grand Jury Of the United States Circuit Court
against the persons recently accused OF sending
immoral publications and indecent articles through
the mails.
In the United States District Court yesterday, In
the matter OF Isaac Nathan and Leopold UrIch,
bankrupts, Judge Blatchford rendered decision.
The defendants were adjudged bankrupts on the
27th OF March. 1869. On the following month some
creditors filed petition setting forth that property
belonging to the bankrupts was in the hands OF
one KAUFMAN. in Illinois. 1t subsequently ap-
peared that H. b. Claim and Stiner Brothers at
tached the property Of Kaufman for debts due to
them. The Court then issued an Injunction re-
straining them from interfering with Kaufman,
and they now desire that that injunction De re-
moved. Judge Blatchford refused to grant their
petition.

from Judgment rendered by Judge Curtis in favor
OF the plaintiff. The action was originally brought
TO recover damages for the non-fulflment OF con.
tract made by the parties on the purchase Of
failed to deliver piano OF the value OF $685. For
the defendant II was commended that the
Judgment was against evidence, and that
there was no proof that the defendant did
not deliver piano Of the value of 1925, and that
the plaintiff should have returned the piano II not
according to contract.
on the part OF the plaintiff counsel contended
that the objections raised upon the appeal by the
defendant were not taken IN the Court below, and,
therefore, could not be passed upon BY an appel
late Court and that there was sufficient proof that
the defendant did not deliver piano In accord
ance with the contract.
The Court affirmed the judgment, with costs,

sides. Denison 4 Cardozo for plaintin; Noah Tug
