IMPORTANT BUSINESS QUESTIONS.

The substantial merchants of New-York
have seldom had before them any questions
more vitality affecting the business of this port
and the whole country than those which were
yesterday considered by the Chamber Of
Commerce. These were as follows: Revenue
Law Reform, The Bankruptcy Law, and Safety
of Vessels at Sea. All of these topics are
suggested by recent events or immediate needs
For years the practice of using the laws of
Congress as a cover for extortion has been
growing in extent and oppressiveness. As was
well stated in the report of the Chamber of
Commerce, the Government, supplied with
quotations from every market in the world,
requiring its own cOnsuls to verify every in
voice in the place of expectation. appointing
its own appraisers at the place of importation,
and requiring the oath of the importer, ought
to give within a reasonable time final answer
to the question, "What duty is to be paid on
this invOicer But the Government does
nothing of the sort. The merchant is left in
uncertainty; he is surrounded by disguised
spies who are sometimes able to themselves
entangle him in the net from which he is
only delivered after great loss of money
and reputation. The system of seizures,
COMBINATIONS and compromises which afflicts
commerce and demoralizes the public service
ia admirably described in the straightforward,
business like speech of Mr. Jackson S. Schultz,
printed elsewhere. The whole subject was
carefully considered by Committee, and the
resolutions which accompanied their report
were adopted AZ expressing the sentiments of
tho Chamber of Commerce. These resolutions
present in concise terms tho difficulties under

NIX. HUs7EDS OPPORTUNITY.

The new Speaker of tho Assembly stands at
the dividing of ways. Many unkind things
have been said Of him; among many of our
best citizens his good character is rather
matter of hope than belief; and his action
under his new responsibilities may bring him
TO the end of his public career, or open up
to him a new and greatly larger sphere of
activity. He can be the partisan Speaker for
a dissolving party; or he can promote honest
legislation, thwart the corruptiOnists who,
year after year, grow more unblushing
in their control of Albany legislation, help us
to deliverance from the dangers of special
legislation whereof half the substantial inter-
ests of the State now stand in fear. and thus
win for himself secure and large place in
the politics of the future.
Mr. Hustled knows az well az any man in
the capital, the shameless corruption that has
prevailed, the men who have encouraged and
profited by it, and the Committees through
which they have worked. He is now engaged
in selecting the Committees for the present
session, and by them and their work he will
be judged.
Mr.. Hustled knows the Committees that have
money in them. He knows the men who are
currently supposed to have made the money
out of them. We fear he has pretty bad
lot of material from which to try to
make up incorruptible Committees but
there is one plain and easy rule, which,-if
(as We trusO he really comprehends his
position and means to have future,-he
ought 10 apply to the arrangement of all
the important Committees. DO not
let single man who has heretofore
occupied a position of prominence
ON one of the notorious money making Commit
tees. such as that on Railroads or that on Cities,
,erye ON ii again. We make no invidious
distinctions, and prefer no charges against
these old members Wemerey say that the Com
mittoes have = bad name. and that it is better
to put peY Rsg o. them, o. least throw the

that Tho law Is unconstitutional, and tbs
election therefore null and void.
This Is the whole case. We have stated "a
briefly and. we believe, distinctly and fairly.
There Is no dispute as to the fairness Of the
election; no denial of the fact shown in the
returns OF the election of Governor and State
officers by $4,000 majority, and an anti-Admin-
istration Legislature upon which will deyolyo
the election of successor to Senator FlannA-
gan. At the very best, it is but O ouibbls
that is put forward to defeat the wishes of tho
people Of Texas. The Administration hax
been or will be called upon to intervene and
Ike ep these men in power who have been re
pudiated by $1,000 majority in fair election.

compexty of the Revenue laws and the vast
powers delegated to The Selling officers
On tho proposed repeal of the Bankrupt
law, the Chamber is equally decided in
opinion. The memorial to Congress which
was adopted fayOrs amendment of the exist
ing Law In some particulars and decidedly
opposes any sweeping repeal. Mr.. L. C. Cow
dins speech, printed in the report of proceed
ings on our second page, is probably an
accurate presentation of the popular view of
the case.
1t is umeniable that the strong desire of q
large number of our leading and most
responsible business men is that the
Bankrupt law should be made less
cumbrous but should on no account be
repealed Representatives of our heaviest dry
goods firms say frankly that they rarely get
much az tho result of proceedings in
BANKRUPTCY, but that, nevertheless, the
law is of great benefit to them
by compelling debtors. who otherwise would
make special assignments, and in various
ways ches honest creditors out of their dues,
to make equitable division OF their assets
without legal proceedings.
The los of the Vile du Havre by a
collision It sea has given new interest to
the muchdiscussed plans Of life-rafts and
electric li;hts. On the subject Of lights at
sea the Chamber of Commerce is committed
to memorial which asks Congress to con-
slider the natter at once. An international
commlssio which shall devise ways and means
of avoiding repetition of some of the late
dreadful disasters is suggested and urged
These thee subjects are to be brought before
Congress by the merchants in way that
shall Command attention. The matters re-
ferred b are of the highest Importance;
they NUT be faithfully examined and legis-
lated upn with intelligence and patriotic
honesty
