At THE CITY HALL,

The Aldermen are to meet again to-day.
There is a report that they mean once more
to dodge the Mayors nominations for Police
Justices, and adjourn for the Summer, leaving
Bowling g. Co. in command. We hope the
report may prove untrue.
In the first place, and as q minor con-
sideration, the combination OF Aldermen
who refuse to act cannot afford to con-
tinue,. their captious opposition. They
have not, by their former service, justified
their present conduct. The confidence of the
people in them is not such as to warrant them
in putting a stop to all public business, when
they have the power at once to facilitate Its
conduct and to correct its abuses. In the next
place, and this is higher consideration, the
combination have no right by their inaction
TO continue in Office men whom public senti-
ment long since condemned and the Leglsla-
ture. after mature deliberaton, voted to re-
move from Office. This is the attitude which
the eight Aldermen who obstruct the public
business select for themselves. They cannot
afford to maintain it longer, and we trust to
see them abandon it to-day.
Up TO this time they have had some public
support on the ground that Mr.. Havemeyer's
nominations were not all good. But in re-
fusng to act on them at all they will lose
any sympathy they now have and get the sup
port of nobody. AS the quarrel now stands, a
great many believe the Mayor nearly as much
in fault as the Aldermen. BY Sinking then
duty the Aldermen would put themselves
wholly in the wrong.

is to make the markets mere political
machines, such as they were in the time of
Connolly. The proposition ought to meet

Like voice from very distant past In
deed comes the explanation of MIR. Jacob
Thompson concerning the Indian Trust Bond
fraud which was discovered in the Depart
ment Of the Interior, in 1861. Mr.. Thompson
was then ON the point of "going out with
his state,n Mississippi having seeded. y The
sum made away with was very large Tor
those primitive times; and the scandal caused
was great. Mr.. Thompson's responsibility for
the misuse of the bonds was investigated by
Congress, and the crime was properly fixed
upon the subordinate in charge of the securi-
ties. The explanation now made by the ex-
Secretary of the Interior is not new and one
would suppose that it would be unnecessary
1t is a curious illustration of the slow-moying
machinery of the Government that this ac-
count has just been reached in the course OF
auditing; hence the revival of an old story

WOULD Poison THEM.-The Pail Mall Ga
sefte is in favor of poisoning persons convicted
Of capital oflcnses, instead of hanging or gull
otining them. 1t thinks this method of putting
them to death would not inflict unnecessary
pain, and would be more in consonance with
the spirit of our civilization. We think the
degree of suffering occasioned by poisoning
would depend altogether upon tho nature of
the poison used. If morphine were employed,
and by skillful hands, death would come upon
the victim rs painlessly rs refreshing sleep:
but revolving and unbearable as is the hang.
mans trade to us, we do not think the Gasctte,s
less objectionable. Tho act of poisoning is in
our mind, inseparably associated with under.
handedness and treachery, while the hangmans
work, though necessarily barbarous, wears no
disguise. The proper and only wise thing to
do, is to abolish capital punishment; it is in
open conflict with every principle of eulight-
ened humanity.

OPIUM IN CHINA.-The production and con.
sumption of opium is said to be largely on the
increase in China. Or. Legge. who has been
travelling in that country, in referring to this
subject, says: 1.-THE growth of opium is in.
creasing at prodigious rate, to the exclusion
of the cultivation Of food. In one district
large tracts Of land were entirely covered with
peoples, and the cultivation only began last
year. Some land will yield profit by opium
greater than that of wheat by two, three, four
and even six times" The Doctor attributes
the Chinaman's love Of opium to the fact of
his being "tied down to the soil of his native dis.
trict, and shut out from intercourse with his
fellows by unjust regulations Of every sort"
Butdoes not the real cause lie deeper than this
Opium. like alcohol, is an unnatural stmulant,
and is not more sought after by the Chinese
than is alcohol by tho Americans. Yet, the
Americans are the least trameled Of any pco-
pie in the world. Can such widely dissmilar
causes produce identical effects2

persistent use of which faculty" they uan-
age to procure more or less respectable sub

is to send advertisements of some spurious ar

prices, promising to pay for advertising in the
wares advertised We receive these by every

highly, or too low n one upon our labor and
