An adjourned meeting q the above. named

that sthe association disscnted entirely from the
report which had been previously adopted and
that it be committed to special committee to
have knowledge, from any source duplicating any
members Of the Bar In corrupt and improper con-
duct"
In moving the resolutions Mr.. DARLING made a
most emphatic speech, quoting from DOgberiy, and
tee showed that Dogberry had sprung again into
existence. At the conclusion OF every sentence
he was loudly applauded by the young men at the
far end OF the roOm who also INDUCED in most
mmoderate laughter at every point he made
against the committee.
Ex-Judge FITHIAN asked If 1t was treating the
committee with respect to now overturn the
acton previously taken. This question was re-
ceived with shouts OF derisive laughter from the
young men.
Mr.. COuDERr undertook to speak in favor Of adj
herring to the former action OF the Association ana
was laughed down.
Mr.. CARTER, OF the committee by whom the
report was made explained at length the action OF
the committee and the difficulties In the way Of
doing what Mr.. Darling wanted.
The debate grew quite lively, several members
taking part in it, and was wound up by an able
address from Mr.. w. NJ. Evarts, who took the
ground in favor OF the action OF the Judiciary Com
mittee and showed that while a person might be
suspected and perhaps rightly, on general grounds,
II wand be found difficult matter to secure proof
when the question was reduced to actual facts
The question was then put on the adoption OF
Mr. Darng's resolutions seridttn and one by one
they were voted down, the young men doing their
utmost in the way OF shouting, so that at one time
It seemed as II the vote would be only question OF
lungs. on a division, however, and count OF
hands, the vote stood largely against the fedgngs.
The original report OF the judiciary Committee was
then adopted by a large majority after which the
meeting adjourned.

The HUDSON RIVER RAILROAD ACCIDENT
Carelessness or stupidity seems to have been
the occasion of what came near being terri
BILE railroad slaughter at Hastings, on the
Hudson River Railroad. yesterday morning
1t is reported that an engine on siding
near Yonkers struck one attached to. a
freight train, uncoupled it from its train
and started it flying up the road in the wake of
q passenger train. This it overlook near
Hastings, smashing Car, fortunately empty,
and severely, perhaps fatally, injuring con-
ductor and brakeman and slightly bruising
two or three passengers. If the results
in the present case prove fatal there
should be searching inquiry into the
origin of the disaster. Luckily the runaway
engine went north instead of following full
trains towards the city, in which case the
chances of slaughter would have been fear
fully increased.

Of very stupid thing in Directing to a joint
resolution congratulating the Cortes and peo-

colonies of Spain If the United States had
waited for recognition from foreign nations
until slavery had been abolished on our soil
what precious long time the Great Republic
would have been obliged to have laid out in

The Spanish Republic and tho Carlists.
The Official Gazette of Spain, 80 we are told
by cable despatch which we print this morn
ing, will on Thursday next contain procla-
nation offering an amnesty to the Carlists now
in instruction in the Northern provinces on
the condition that they will within two weeks
lay down their arms and submit to the au-
thority of the government If this offer is not
accepted it will be war to the death against
the rebels The proclamation is reasonable
and just We are willing to hope the best for
the Republic. When the new mon do well
they will obtain our praise ungrudgingly
When they do not well they must not blame us
for pointing out their mistakes The factions
in Spain are still strong, and the new govern
ment may find it difficult to put down Carlists
apd Alphonsists and Montpensierists and the
resi-. Right in the long run, however, must
prevail.
1t is now some years since friendly relations
between Spain and the various South Ameri-
can republics were suspended. 1t is gratifying
to know that the question of sending represent
atives to the South American republics, and
SO resuming friendly relationship with them,
is under the consideration of the Spanish gov
eminent. This is we'll. Republican Spain
ought to be on friendly terms with her repub-
lcan children

ment. Poland's committee would have the
country believe that he was an innocent but
ignorant dabbler in improper speculations.
Putting aside the apparent fact that he did not

the Sergeant-at-Arms, the country will
not be satisfied that the operation was
innocent. The chairman of the Committee of
Ways and Means and the leader of the House
of Representatives is not likely to dip into
impurity with pure motives.

We Protest-No HIoro Stealing OF Our
Parks.

Parks.
numerously signed petition is now wend-
ing its way to the classic halls of our immacu-
late Legislature at Albany for the purpose of
obtaining new armory for the Seventh regi-
ment in Reservoir square Now, we are per-
fectly willing that tho gallant Seventh should
have new armory up town if good reasons
can be sho wn that the present place of drill
IS beyond the comfortable reach of its stall
wart members but what we do most seriously
object to is the selection of Reservoir squa re
for its site. The bane of New York is the
absence OF open squares. Parks are q city's
lungs. The enormous London population is
kept alive because of a wise foresight which
establishes numberless cases in a Sahara of
either the relaxation of children or the very
necessary function of breathing. Rows
upon rows of buildings unbroken by
o single ''terrace," ''circle" or "green,"
attest the criminal ignorance Of our
rulers in all laws pertaining to health.
And now intelligent citizens are asking
for the partial annihilation Of one of the few
breathing places accorded to sti1ed COM
munity! 1t passes understanding and to
find the names of two physicians among the
published list of petitioners strikes us with
amazement, for they at least ought to know
better. We beg the Legislature TO observe
that the petitioners are all taken from one
class-the class that can afford to leave town
in May and not return until November. Were
the poorer taxpayers living in the vicinity Of
Reservoir square asked for an opinion we
think that the Seventh regiment would obtain
different verdict. In the name Of these
humber taxpayers, in the name of little
children, in the name of working men and
women, we protest against the meditated
dissertation. To benefit one regiment of
militia at the expense of an army of souls
would be the most reckless extravaganza ever
INDUCED in by this Tammany-ridden me-
tropolis

Telegraph PrOgress-Passagc or the
Bill for q Pacific Cable

Telegraph Progress-Passago or tho
Bill for q Pacific Cable.
The House Committee on Foreign Affairs
having reported bill to Congress authorizing
the East India, China, Japan and American
Telegraph Company, which has been chartered
by the State of New York to lay telegraph
cable between Asia and America, it came up
for action on Monday and was passed No
subsidy was asked or granted But the bill
provides that the United States shall furnish
the vessels to make the necessary soundings
and for laying the cable This will put the
government to little or no cost, as our naval
vessels on the Pacific side can as we'll be doing
that as cruising. They will at the same time
be contributing something to science while
sounding the Pacific Ocean. The bill was
unanimously passed by the Senate. The
cable from America to Asia will be the last
link to encircle the globe by the magnetic tele-
graph. 1t must prove of great value to Ameri-
can commerce With the rich and populous
countries of Asia, and will 60 far to diffuse
our Christian civilization over half the human
family. No nation is so favorably situated as
the United States for commerce with the
Asiatic world-that commerce for which all the
great maritime Powers have been contending
for ages The telegraph and steam power
across oceans are supplementary to each other
in developing and extending trade, and of the
two the telegraph is perhaps the most impor-
tant. We hope that within year or two we
shall be able to speak instantaneously with the
Chinese, Japanese and other Asiatics, as we
now do with Europe through the wonderful
agent of modern progress and civilization.

Faure may come, but probably will not agree to
