We do not credit the report that ne is to be
appointed Judge Of the Court OF Claims. nor
that he is to be Minister to Vienna or Berlin,
or Notary Public. AS for the judicial posi-
ton, he has already been Judge of Probate,
and his ambition in that direction is satisfied; ;
he will not go abroad till he has seen the Ma
tional debt paid in half dollars and ten-cent
pieces. And to be Notary Public is only q
trihing promotion, and would hardly pay him for
making the change. No. The Great Minister
stays at the head of the Department OF FL

has head who can sign his name with such
ease and rapidity. and be content We must
not be too exacting. So long ~ Mr.. Sanborn

TIE MENNONITE BILL.

The bill for promoting the immigration of
Russian Mennonites to this country has for
several days occupied the morning hour in
the Senate. Many of the Senators know and
care very little about the question, and are
rather inclined to vote for the bill to oblige
Mr.. Window. There are many things which
may be said to prove the desirable character
of the population which this measure is in
tended to attract to this country and it is
therefore possible that the majority may be
induced by this consideration alone TO pass the
bill, without regard to the ultimate results of
the precedent which would be In this way es-
tablished, and which seems to us q
thoroughly bad one. The advantage to be
derived from the addition to our population
would be no sufficient compensation for the
pernicious example thus set of legislation for

to gentleman of the timely name Of Blossom. 'ris
now many years ago-mOre than twenty-that this
Blossom, blooming in Washington, wooed 20 the
ways of uprightness and selfrespect young man to
whom wine was q familiar demon. Blossom took
him from the roadside mud. Blossom gave him q
pleasant home, Blossom counseled him, and at last
reformed him entirely. Then the young man went
West-which was the eminenty proper thing TO do
and disappeared forever from the vision of Blossom.
But Blossom was not forgotten. few months ago
he saw newspaper advertisement inquring his ad-
dress and having responded. was informed that the
young man he had reformed was dead and had left

On Wednesday the body of boy four years
of age was found by the water side in South
Boston bleeding from a multitude of wounds
There were eighteen stabs in the region of
the heart. The hands were cut, as if in the
little fellows attempt to ward off the blows
of the murderer. The throat was slit and
one eye was nearly cut from its socket.
FoOtmarks in the mud seemed to prove
that the child had been led to the spot by
some older companion, who must have lifted
him down from the wharf where the prints
first appeared and the condition of the body
showed that the murder had been committed
but a very little while before its discovery-that
is to say, in broad day. There was no trace of
the criminal, except the unrecOgnized foot
marks and the mystery might have remained
forever had not the Boston police chanced to re-
member that a certain young gentleman in their
city had an unpleasant habit of enticing
little boys into lonely places and there subject
ing them to various forms of torture, with the
knife, ropes end. &c, They accordingly ar

Our Albany reports indicate that there is
some hope for the passage and perfection of
one or two of the pending quick transit
schemes Ont of these we may secure the
much-desired. boon. The amendment to the
charter of the Gilbert Elevated Railway Com
pany, granting them an extension Of time, is
now in the hands of the Governor, as is also
the Beach Pneumatic bill. Last night an at
tempt was made in the Assembly to transfer
the powers vested by Mr.. Eastman's amended
bill In Commission to the Mayor and Com
mon Council. We call this Mr.. Eastman's
amended bill; strictly, it is Mr.. Wight's SUBJ
stitute; but it is substantially an amendment
of Mr.. Eastman's plan. The Commission is TO
have semi-official superintendent of the
work, in the public interest; but the credit and
cash of the city are not to be involved therein
on any pretext whatever. 1t is said that the
friends of the Vanderbilt and Third-ave Rail-
road schemes have abandoned the field. IN
less they materially modified their plan of
road-building, their success would have been
considered as real public misfortune.

At last the Supply bill has passed both
branches of the Legislature, and has been sent
to Conference Committee. In the Assembly
it was not thought worth while to take vote
on the Senate amendments; the whole bill
was turned over to the Joint Committee. No
man can tell in what shape this much-dis-
puted bill will come forth from the Committees
hands. But it is clear that the clause
removing the Capitol Commission is most
in danger. 1t is even said that
if the Conference Committee, a majority Of
whom are considered unfriendly to the meas
ure, should allow it to remain where it is,
that important bill could not pass the Assem-
bly,. 1t is worth something to get the Supply
bill so far on its way to the Governor; but it
is unfortunate that a reform in the Capitol
building business looks more than ever hope
less.

70 the people of New-YOrk and Brooklyn the

There is a slight disagreement in the reports
of Gen. Hazen and Gen. Custer relative to the
value of the lands lying along the proposed
route of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Both
of these officers have written of the lands,
their SOIL agricultural capabilities, and natural
attractions; each has his honest and candid
estimate of the resources Of the country. Gen.
Hazen's views, printed in The TRIBUNE last
February, are not fattering. Gen. Custer,
whose report we print to-day, says that, out
side of au exceptional tract of waste land,
there is an abundance of grass, water. timber,
and arabic soil. The impartial reader has the
reports before him and must judge as to the
relative value of the sources of information on
which each is based

So far as we can see, the proposition Tor f The
repaving of Fifth Avenue with asphalt IS rea-
sonable and free from jobbery. If the pave
ment can be made as good as that part which
has already been laid opposite the north END
of Madison Square, it will be the most
creditabe piece of paving work the CITY
has enjoyed for many year. The provisions
of the bill should certainly be guarded with
all care, but it seems good thing to perfect
and pass and there is no such opposition to 1t
here as some members have represented.
New-York tribune., 1874-04-25

The labor troubles in Pennsylvania and the
depressed state of the iron industry there are
explained in the letter on another page. The
dullness is plainly due to the decreased de-
mand for iron caused by the general depression
of trade. This in turn led to disagreements
between workmen and their employers, which
are daily becoming grayer. No permanent
improvement, however, can be expected in
this state of things until the general business
of the country revives. Then iron-smelting is
likely to enjoy greater degree of prosperity
than any other industry, and good feeling
will follow among all engaged therein.

May Moving is so near at hand that the
report on city rents, printed on our fifth page.
will be found timely and of interest. 1t must
be admitted that rents have come down some
what since last May. This is specially true OF
the more expensive dwellings, extravaganza In
living having been partially checked by the
hard times. In the middle-class rents, how
ever, there is not so much decline, though
the conditions of leases are said to be easier.
Taken altogether, the outlook for the house
hunter this Spring is more favorable than
usual.

Marshall, jefferson and all other cities and
towns on the Houston and Texas railway, ann
its connecting rail and stage lines, are offered

At Denison, Texas, connection is made with
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway, and
at vini.a, in the Nation, q junction is formed
with the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, by
which all passengers are carried through
Southwest Missouri direct TO st. Louis with

An Interesting Question - Can Con-
sumption be Cured?

This question is often asked but rarely an
swered to the satisfaction OF the patient.
Our answer is that pulmonary consumption
in ItS inclpient form is as durable as any
other disease, If only the right remedies are
applied. The question naturally arises as to
what are the remedies? In reply, we state
that Marsden's POctoral Balm has been used
successfully in over n million of cases, and
has been adopted by physicians as the most
reliable remedy known for the treatment OF
Bronchial affections.
One great reason that Marsden's Pectoral
Balm has gained such popularity, Is the fact
that 1t is within the reach of all, and can he
purchased from all dealers ut fifty cents for n
small or one dollar large bottle. One bot
tie will effect cure In most cases.
WE see any day Oh our streets num-
bers of prematurely old men-men
young in years, but who have "spent
their summer ere it was May,n broken
down by various excuses. "a word
to the wise is sufficient"--get a bottle
of William b. Parker's Compound
Fluid Extract Buchu, and we stake our
reputation on it, you will find 1t "a
friend in need" Sin no more, lest a
worse thing come unto thee; take the

pristine vigor. For sale by all drug
