the interest of an oppressed agricultural ele-
ment, have materially enlarged their sphere
of influence. Many Congressman, we learn,
are receiving missives asking their opinions
on these knotty points: Governmental au in
improving navigation of the Mississippi; the
proposed repeal Of duties on certain speci-
fed articles, and an abolition OF all duties !;
repeal of the coasting- trade laws; a generM
banking law the expedency OF land grants
to railroads; the extension and renewal OF
patents; the bankrupt law, and governmental
SUPERVISION of lines Of transportation. THESE
problems are calculated to worry the Con
Cressman of the period. While the indefati-
gable Grangers wero about it, they might as
well have thrown in few questions about
the principal lake ports and the blnomiai
theOrem.
Jersey City is the latest sufferer from a
"breach of confidence" the treasurer OF that
municipality having disappeared with large
gap in his accounts. The reports which we
publish put the deficiency ut q sum ranging
from $4,000 to 100000. The precise amount
il not now of special moment, as the whole
business seems to have been so loosely man
aged on the part of the city that the secnrl-
ties on the missing officials bond are doubt
full The Treasurer managed to get possession
of the bond before he left; and, of COURSE
that document is not now to be found One
of the persons on the security declares that
he signed it 'just as matter OF temporary
accommodation; and general dislnclina-
ton to face the music is naturally perceptible
among the other bondsmen. This is the Old,
old story with scarcely any variations: an I'M
perfectly guarded treasury, "fast" treasurer,
frail bonds, theft and flight, and permanent
deficiency in the city funds
Senators will not readily dispose of the
charge that fancy goods are illegally made
away with in the Senate wing OF the Capitol.
Indignant denials by Senators Morrill, and
Howe do not seem to cover the case. Ii turns
out, upon examination, that in the stationery
account Of the Senate are such eccentric items
as pOrtemonnaes, penkDives in great quantity,
cards and cord-plates, fancy note paper with
monogIams, and other triHes, to say nothing
of the cone gold toOthpick" which has now
become historic. Senators say that they have
an allowance of S125 for stationery, which they
have right to draw in cash or goods. 1hls
is undoubtedly true; but these things are
charged to Committees, not to lndlviduai
Senators, and they have no credit of cash paid
to balance their entry. An inquisitive and
possibly impertinent public is asking, Who
consumes these things, and why should the
Government pay for them9 The fact is that
the Chronic Deadhead is just as armly in
trcnched in the Capitol as elsewhere 1t was
this famous parsonage (whatever may be his
rank, station, or Ofice) who got the visiting
cards and the one gold toothpick.

The President absolutely declines to take
any part of the responsibility of unloading"
the Louisiana case. After being diverted for
days with reports concerning the position to
DO taken by the President in a message to be
sent to Congress, the public is now told that
he has decided that, on the whole, he has no
opinions ON the question worth talking about.
SO "the Louisiana muddle.' as it is popularity
called. will have to be solved without the
benefit of Presidential counsel, at least.

The autopsy Of Prof Agassiz by DR.. Morrill,

that the disease which caused the death Of the

School No. TO- in the Fifteenth Ward, is a large
and commodious building, accommodating 1900
scholars male and female. But its usefulness is
seriously damaged, and its very existence threatened
because its immediate vicinity is infested by so
many dens Of vice and crime that the scholars are
exposed to hourly contamination. School Commits
soner Townsend has made q report, setting forth
these facts and stating further that in many cases
the houses which are used for these vile purposes be-
long to reputable citizens who know the uses which
are made of them. he also insists that the laws Of
New-YOrk, as settled by various judicial decisions
hold the owner and lessor of such house as the
keeper of it, within the meaning Of the legal pro-
hibtion 1t is therefore proposed to send the names
of the persons owning the houses Of bad character,
with the names Of witnesses who prove the char
acer of their occupation to the DisrictAttorney OF
the City and County Of New-York. that he may pro-
ceed against these careless landlords according to
law The suggestion is excellent one, and
whether the present attempt is successful not the
Committee will have the sympathy Of all good
citizens in their effort to fasten upon the proprietors
of such haunts responsibility for the sin and
the shame by which they profit.

Nr. Hewitt has done an exceedingly sensible
thing in giving the German Free Thinkers tho Of
the great hall of the Cooper Institute for their pro-
posed meeting to protest against the action Of the
police in dispensing the Tompkinssquare assem-
blage. BY all means let people, who think they have
a grievance, hold meeting about it, wherever or
whenever they wish-only providing that they do
not thereby violate the law, or infringe upon the
rights of private property We trust that the Police
Commissioners will to it that they have the
amplest protection, and harassed by no needless
interference. No matter what we may think of the
positions they are likely to.assume, or what we may
suppose the dangers to the community Of tho doctrines
they are to preach free speech is one Of the essen
tials of our American institutions, and the police
should always be its most Jealous champions. In
this case they might besides find selfish motive.
The Cooper Institute meeting may prove safety

vent an explosion somewhere else.

Of any religious sect or denomination

of matrimony in this State until such

OUR RAILROAD.

The railroad muddle at Little Rock
does no, seem TO clear up much. 1t IS
all in rangle aud Mcclure is trying to
get it out by the Invaluable writ Of Ia
5sas corpus We are informed that q
committee is to be sent to Boston to in
terview the Boston fellows and try 10
compromise matters, so as to have the
road in condition to move forward as
soon rs the Oklahoma bill passes. This
bill will undoubtedly pass this session OF
Congress, and q combination can then
be effected with the roads Row running
through the nations west Of lis. II this
plan succeeds, the road must be built at
an early day after the bill passes. We
hope to see the road put upon basis
that will insure its completion and take
it out the hands Of the men who would
ratard its progress. Our people arenow
almost entirely without currency and
something must soon be done to relieve
them, or the machine must stop. We
cannot see how the legitimate expenses
Of the State Government can be paid, un-
less something turns up to help the peo-
pie pay their taxes Many acres Of land
must go to the State, but the State Treas.
ury must also have ready money The
Auditors Warrants are at most worth
less now, and il the Collectors fail to get
in Grccnbacks, they will be worse. 1t is
a hard case upon the officials fihe State
to have to submit to the present discount,
especially Judges, who should always be
well paid We hope then our wise men
who are running railroad matters and are
posted in the " ways that are que0r and
tricks that are vain, may soon bring
order out Of chaos and give us the rail
road.

The Democracy and the Oranges.

The following from the Cincinnati En-
quirer, agrees So well with our views on
this subject, we give place to it, rather
than anything Of our own;
"The readers OF the Enquirer are well
aSare that we favor the leading principles
and o',jec' desired to be attained by the
Farmers Oranges We see nothisg III
tn, m in antagonism 10 the principles ol
the Democratic party, but. on the contra
ry, in tie main, they mutually agree. Inc
Democracy, if they are not false TO then
name and organization, are opposed to
monopoiies of every kind. and especially
to those powerful ones which assume TO
have control OF the transportation OF the
peopless goods Their principles in re
gard to the tariff and currency and Ma
tional and individual debts are almost
identical They want cheap money ana
labor. agricultural and mechanical alike
They insist upon retrcncimeht ana re-
form in all branches Of the Government.
The strength of the Democracy, like that
of the Oranges, is to be found IN the ag-
ricultural districts Our tariffs are made
By the city manufacturers, and our cur
rency by Wall street. New York. The
opposition to the Democracy rests upon
those interests, while the Democratic par
ty must ever remain, by the law Of its
being, the friend of the agriculturalists
That il the end the Democracy and the
Farmers Oranges will be obliged to make
common cause throughout the Union, as
they have already done in Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas and other States, we do not doubt.
Such we think, must be the opinion OF
all in the Oranges who have noticed tho
drift of things, and philosophically scru'
tinized the antcccdcpts OF the different
parties As for the Enquirer, We consid.
er that we are doing our duty as an or
gan or Democratic principles when we
stand by the farmers in their fight against
the odinus monopo'ies which have so
long preycd upon them and crowded
them TO the earth.

Lecture of Hon. Gran. Wilcox,

The ladies of St. Johns Episcopal
Church Of Fort Smith. have in course a
series OF Lectures, for the benefit Of that
Society. Hon. Gran Wilcox, of this
city, was one of the gentlemen invited to
lecture, and on Thursday night last filed
his appointment. The Ueraid, Of Satur
day, speaks of it as follows:
The LECTURE. Hon. Granville Will
coxs lecture on Thursday evening, the
Sth inst, on " English Literature, " was
in every way worthy Of the gentleman
who delivered it. The field entered upon
by the lecturer is SO broad, and abound
my in flowers 50 rich and rare, that the
task of selecting was one of more than
ordinary difficulty. The lecturer, how
ever, succeeded beyond even the expec-
tation Of his many fliends and admirers.
in bringing before his audience the sweet
est fruits and most beautiful flowers,
oullcd by the hand Of a master aud pre-
sented to his audience in language at
once chaste and beautiful The moral
as well rs the intellectual suggestions Of
the lecturer deserves mention in this con
ntc.ion. Tie audience listened with
close attention, but was no little annoyed
by some OF the Young America, who
made II race,track of the hallway and
stairs, as is often the case on such ooca.
sions This evil must be corrected, We
hope this hint to the juveniles will be
sufficient
We have but one criticism to offer in
connection with the lecture, and that is
as to the delivery. When the lecture is
delivered in Van Buren,, as we have no
doubt it will be, if the citizens Of Van
Buren desire an intellectual treat, we
would suggest that Gran. overcome his
over modesty, and take little more time
in the delivery. and speak little louder
The lecture is worthy the attention of any
audience, and would be much more high
ly appreciated if more time was given for
thought during its delivery.
The ladies Of st. Johns church deserve
the thanks Of our citizens for introduc-
ing this course Of lectures for SO worthy
an object, and we hope it will be eentin
ued under their or other auspices every
winter.
