RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
As the Legislature Is about to meet In q few
days permit me to make o few remarks upon the
subject OF rapid transit and OF the Importance
that something should be done at once 70 accom-
modate the active business men OF city, and to
populate and build up the upper par; OF the city
and Westminster county. This can only be &C
compsned by rapid transit, good accommod ations
and cheap fare. Elevated roads should be built
for the benefit and convenience OF the business
man ana mechanics OF the city so that they could
provide themselves with comfortable homes. II
the convenience OF the people, the welfare and
prosperity Of the city require these ROADS, then II Is
equally important that they should be owned and
controlled by the city instead OF being owned and
run for the benefit OF corporation. They should
be run TO accommodate the people and to increase
the population OF the city and Westminster county.
We are ten years at least behind the age.
Look across the river INFO New Jersey
and see what rapid transit has done Tor
that state. TIE taxable property Of Hud-
son county alone has since 1860 Increased from
sloooo,0oo TO $50 SOC, 900, and OF the persons
VINO have settled there are doing business In New
York, and would have located ia tne upper part OF
the city aud Westminster county had the same Ia
elites been provided. One reason for urging
upon the people and city the Importance OF own
ing and controlling the road Is om comparing
the New haven with the Harlem ROAD The New
Haven road was buIlt with Eastern capital. and
run Tor the benefit OF Connecticut That road has
built up stanford New haven and other places
east OF Westminster county. The New Haven road
furnishes good, comfortable cars, cheap fare ana
quick transit, whereas the Harlem road furnishes
the worst accommodation ana cars that
run out OF this or any other CITY In the
UnIted states, charges the highest fare and
makes the slowest time. The Communication of the
New Haven road rom East Mount Vernon TO New
YORK II $40 per year, whereas the Harlem ROAD
charges 500 from west Mount vernon. Thc New
Haven runs the trlp IN loTL minutes less time.

II tho statements Of tho Attorney General
nre true, they give tho first glimpse Of hope

The Secretary Il! ths Treasury receiyed letter to-
day stating that tue loading importers Of th country
which 10 proposed m increase Of the tasn, and Lad
f@sthwt'h ordered largo supnes by cable. Thus in
receipts. They suggest that change in ARTICLES
designated 10 lrade, but he to fe ut losa to
know what particular articles should he aeected. It
is supposed that the informat!Dn. Of which tho I'M
posters 80 quickly avhiIed themselves. leaked nut
through aome Of tho Treasury officials with whom tha
special, 2eth tnat.
II the Secretary should succeed in making
up new schedule Of articles on which to ILL.,
crease tho present high tariff, the same opera-
ton will be repeated by tho importers, and
tho money intendod for the Government will
be diverted into their pockets,
No increase Of reyenue con bo obtained by
an incroRse Of duty on articles manufactured
in great part in this country without o1actine
many.fold the anount from the consumers.
Suppose the duties repealed in 1872 be re-
stored, or abont 10 per cent addod to the
present oxorbitant tariff, what would tho re-
suit be? We may estimate that the manu-
featured articles now in this country but not
in the hands Of consumers amount, in round
numbers, to 81, ,000, 900, 900. That ia to soy,
tho kind Of goods now III tho hands Of manu-
facturers, importers, jobbers, wholesale and
retatl dealers, and middlemeu Of oil descrip-
tons, on which the tariff would be raised,
amounts to S1,0Oo, DOC, 600. II 10 per cent
duty were added, the price Of the goods now
on hand would advance 10 per cont in gold !;
in other words, the consumers would have to
pay out $100,0 900 extra IN gold before tho
Government would receive dollar Of revenue.
If it was designed to rhse 10000, 900 OF
revenue, the consumers would DO taxed
$4,000, ,0o0 before tho Government could
reach tho desired object. As this must inoy-
itably be tho case always when Government
imposes On additional tax on goods 10 be ins-
ported in tho future, but not on the gooda
now on hand, the injustice Of the scheme
proposed by the Secretary OF tho Treasury
is only less in hind than tho similar defect
in the Little Tariff bill," and much greater
in the actual burdsn put upon tho people.
The trouble is, that the people In Washing.

take hold Of tho revenue problem at the
wrong ond. II the Government expendi.
tures exceed tie Government recaipts, OF

The Grand Jury which concluded ita ses-
sions yesterday presented to tho Criminal
Court one Of tho most intelligent reports tllat
has coma from such body in long time.
Attention is directed to the large number of
prisoners now confined in the County Jail
and it is suggested That some reformation
allo,11l be naale in the practice
of tho Court so that persons held
on criminal charges may be, allowed
r speedy trial. Such course is dc
tated De well by considerations Of common
Justice as by those Of economy in tho admin
is:ration Of county affairs. The Grand Jury
also Gnds that tho present statutes for tho
punishment Of gambling nro Intellectual, and
advises TINT they be amended; that attend
ance upon Gambiing-houses be mnde
crime; anl that owners Of PREM
iscs leased for gambling purposes be held re-
sponsible, if knowledge OF the fact is brought
home to them ut any time after the leasing,
In tho mattcr Of tho Wabash Avenue Railway
ordinance. mud the charge tl4at it was cor
ruptly obta;hed, the jury finds TINT there aro
stronger grounds tIsan mere suspicion for
presumption Of guilt. Dat no indictments
are returned, the investigation not being
conc1uded aud tho evidence already
taken is offered for tho basis Of an
inquiry to be conducted by future
Grand Jury. Tho report, on tho whole, Is
excellent, as well in manner as in substance
The statement that the allegations Of bribery
in the Common Council do not rest on mere
suspicion ought not to surprise anybody
The duty Of bringing the whole subject up
again and searching it through and through
is imperative, and must be manifest to tho
officers Of the law,
