New-York tribune., 1875-10-04

Mr.. George ID. Lord is not to be vindicated
quite so fast as he seems to have hoped.
When he was called upon to plead to the in
dictment that charged him with felonl0usly
selling his vote iii the Legislature OF 1871, he
objected that the statute of limitations Ill
force at the time of the transaction gave
him immunity from prosecution after the
Lapse of three years and though, before that
time had expired, the limit was enlarged to
five years, it was rather mean for the State to
take advantage of fellow in that way, and
he ought consequently to be allowed the benefit
of the shorter term. In other words, Mr.. Lord
may be understood as assuring the court that
he wouldn't have done it if he had known the
State was going to give itself five years to
catch him in. Judge Clinton, however, has
overruled the special plea, and the case will
have to be tried upon its merits. The pris-
oner's counsel is said to be anxious for little
delay. and the District-AttOrney, though ready
for trial, will probably be willing to give
the defense reasonable time for preparation,
especially as every days labor of the lnvesti-
eating Commission renders the vindicati0n of
George ID. Lord and his associates more and
more serious job, and lightens the labors OF the
prosecution. We trust, however, that the trial
will be pushed forward with all the speed con-
sistent with proper administration of justice.
If we compare the course of the Canal Re-
form with the suits against the Tammany
Ring we shall certainly find no reason to COM
plain of the delays of our State officers iii
dealing with this later scandal. All the chief
offenders in the New-York City frauds were
Democrats and the machinery of the law was
1,1y uh
were placed i'll power by the people for
the express purpose of bringing the thieves
TO justice. In this pursuit the prosecutors re-
ceived most valuable aid from Democrats like
Messrs. O'COnOr and Tilden, and the moral
support indeed of all the respectable elements
of the Democratic party. Yet, with so many
powerful agencies united against them,
Tweed, Sweeny, Connolly, and the rest
are still unpunisled, and most of them
have never figured in court at all.
The movement against the Canal Ring on the
other hand was begun only few months ago,
and already, besides the civil suits for the re-
cOvery of hundreds of thousands of stolen
money, criminal prosecutions have been set on
foot against a number of the worst of the
offenders, without regard to their political pro-
fessions. Lord, Bowman, and Kelly, Demo
Gratis, and Bennett, Davis, Behn, Welch,
Barley, and Webster, Republicans, have been
indicted at Buffalo, and proceedings have been
instituted against several less important mem
bers and tools of the Ring whose politics no
body seems to know. This looks like pretty
good quarters work, aud We have by no
means seen the end of it.

tematic rule. it has been promised will take
charge of all lodging and boarding-houses
during the Centennial year. 1t is impossible
that the half-dozen hotels of the city should
be relied on in any degree to accommodate the
expected multitude, and, as the rates of living
will be greatly increased, numbers of citizens
of moderate means will be driven to open their
houses for boarders or dodgers. 1t is asserted
that uniform rates will be established in these
houses, and lists of them kept at central Office,
by which means strangers are to be protected
from extortiOn. We can only hope the report
has some foundation in fact.

CENTENNIAL T4Lh.

We adverted the other day to divers threat
enng grumbles from American Artists on the
ignoring of their claims by the Centennial
Commissioners. In consequence of these grllm-
blings q Committee on Art have come to
light and announced their readiness to receive
and properly dispose of such pictures Us may
be submitted to them. When we copsider
that every town of any size in the country
has its embryo Michael Angelo, as yet known
only to local fame, but waiting for this chance
to unvail himself before the nations,
We can begin to understand the pains
and penalties of the task which lies be-
fore the Committee. In older countries, the
decision OF an authority i'll matters Of art ap-
pointed by the Government would be quietly
regarded as final here, the qualifications,
character, knowledge, and private history of
each member of the Committee will be as hotly
challenged by cOntesting artists "a though he
were a candidate for President If he be him
self an artist, we shall hear him accused of
blind partalty to some school If he he a
gentleman of leisure, who buys with ease, he
shall be asked satirically how dealings in sugar
and stocks conduce to a knowledge Of the
finest of fine arts.

are not with the scores of unsuccessful
painters but with the Draconan judges who
shall be forced to say them nay. There is no
escape that we can see from this hubbub of
dissension and wrath 80 far as the art of the
Centennial is concerned, simply because the
artist stands, of all men, the most dOgmatic
and iirmeSt in his own theory. Bring a ma
chine or web of silk or Il book before the
public, and its common good sense promptly
pronounces verdict on it. But q
picture is like the rainbow. mat
ter which no two human beings see
from the same point. Our artists may console
themselves with the reflection that where there
will be so many thousands of worthless daubs
presented and rejected, one with any merit
whatever viii be sure of its chance to be seen,
The great difficulty indeed in the way of all
Centennial Committees will be that the Expo
sihon throughout tho country is regarded as a
mammoth county fair. TO which patriotism re-

The Rapid Transit Commissioners expect to
make their report on the plan of a road to-day
or tomorrow. They intend to hamper capi-
talsts interested in the enterprise as little as
possible, but insist on ample precautions for
safety. The organization of new company
to build a road in accordance with the law
creating the Commission has occupied the at
tcntion of the Commissioners for several days
This company is intended to make sure that
rapid transit shall not fail even if the Gilbert
and Greenwich-st companies do not carry out
their plans. But these two companies under
their special charters escape largely, if not
entirely, the necessity of obtaining the con-
sent of prOperty-owners for their work, and if
New-YOrk is to have rapid transit speedily, it
is to be hoped that there will be no necessity
of relying upon new company to carry out
the scheme.

One or two of the Grant organs OF the interior
seem to act upon the theory that their readers are
fools The latest man whom they grayely declare
to have been bought up by Gov. Tilden
is the Agent of tho Associated Pressall because he
instructed the local agents to send reports OF The
Governors speeches. The TRIBUNE is bought mp
in that way a great deal Theodore Tilton bought
it up the other day. because it gave two or
three columns to an event Of such local interest 40
his first appearance on the platform in New-York
since his late experiences. Henry ward beecher
bought it up, few days later Dc
cause it printed q full report OF his reap
pearance in the Plymouth prayer meetings Inc lnna
tiOnists bought it up fortnight ago, because IL
printed the only full report Of their meeting at Cooper
Institute. The Grant party in Ohio bought 1t up
few days later because it printed full report OF the
most effective hard money speech in their campaign,
that of Carl Schurz. And all the while, let the vr-
tuous but dscOnsolate organs in the interior take
notice, tho people kept buying it up by tens OF
thousands. But the virtue of the organs
shall not go unrewarded Let them
stcadfastly refuse to print the news, and
they will not be troubled in the least with this
mercenary business-the people will not buy them
up Meantime, rs Mr.. Smonton seems to be IN hot

something to complain of. 1t seems to us
however that it is rather too early for these
criticisms while the Investigating Commission
is still at work and the law officers are busily
following up thcir disclosures with suits and
indictments. The people may rest assured
that the movement so actively begun will be
vigorously continued, and the Canal thieves

Nearly every household is interested in the
question of peace or war in China, as the lat
ter would lead to an immediate advance in the
price of tea and perhaps eventually retard its
expectation. British affairs in that country
being in the hands of an experienced
dipomatist, there is reason to regard
the Shanghai telegram announcing
that the quarrel is settled rs au-
thentic. That the news is in advance of the
official advices, is only another instance of
what invariably happens. The reported ALI
ance between China and BuTmah shows, how
ever, that the former was preparing for war,
and distrusted the assurances of the "barba-
"rians" as much as ever.
