: NEW YoaR, January 15.-owiig to
the repeated complaints Of The counsel
and the sixty reporters that they were
crowded for room, Judge Nelson has
given instructions to admit to the trial 10
the case Of Theodore Tilton against H.
". Reecher, only such Of the public as
have been provided with tickets Of adj
mission. Al. these tickets have, been Is.
sued to more PERSONS than thsI Court
Room Will contain, great confusion was
caused this evening by tile struggle Of the
holders to gain an entrance. As soon as
the space allotted 10 the public was filled,
The doors were closed and those favored
with tickets formed In line and
were, admitted. There was present
to-day The dAial5 strong delegation from
the Plymouth Church. When the Judge
took iis seat Mr.. Fullerton, counsel for
Tilton, said they we're somewhat embar.
rassed by the absence Of Mr.. Morris, who
was sick and confined to his bed, and they
would, therefore, have to ask the indul'
Rence Of the Court from. time Jtp time.
Frank Moulton then took The stand fand
his direct examination was continued. II
consisted mainly In identifying the doc
uments and relating the circumstances
connected Herewith, already familiar by
publication In various statements.

An imprompin Railway Meeting was
held on Tuesday evening, In the parIof of
the 81. clair 1fotelSsL Ciaitsviilt,' ohiOt
The meeting was organized on motion Of
Rev. Rob. Alexander, by calling Coli.
+. Charlesworth, 10 preside, and !, NJ
Riley, sec'y. The object Of the meeting
WAS then stated to be, to take some action
toward devising ways and means for The
construction ola Railroad from Bellnite
to 81. Claifsville. Col. John II. Sullivan
and WIN. U. Barnard Of Bellaite, being
present and interested In the matter,
briefly stated their views on the subject,
and their experience In the construction
Of railroads. The construction Of a road
from Beliaire to 81. Clairsville is con-
sidefed practicable, and would be Of
almost untold value 10 The people al
either terminus and along the line. Two
routes are proposed: One from Bellaife
up Indian Run and along the dividing
ridge between McNlahont Creek and
Wheeling Creek, 10 81. Claitsyine; the
other from Bellaite via. NefTs Siding on
the Central Ohio Railroad, thence up
Little McMahona Greek and Aults Run
to 81. Claitsville, Either route Il con-
sidered practicable, a hattoW-guage
road IL feetl meets With the greatest iayot,
owing to the fact that the construction
and working would cost one-thitd % one
half less than a bfoad.guage, and Affords
equal facilities fot transportation Of
freight and passengers. Let us have 4
RailroadI We can have II live viii. A
general meeting Of persons interested will
be held in the Court House, on TUESDAY
evening next, Jan. lBth. Let every one
attend, and give an expression Of his views
concerning the matter.

Gov. Tilden's Message on Municipal
Government

Coy. Tildcn s message on municipal gov
crnment proves TO be, as it was expected
to be, one of the most suggestive state
papers of the year. The New York con-
stitutional convention of 1886 put in the
organic law a section making 1t the duty
of the legislature to 'provide for the Or
ganization of cities and Incorporated vii
lagos, and to restrict their power of taxa
ton, assessment, borrowing money, con-
tracing debts, and loaning their credit +"
Instead, that body has ever since been en-
larging these powers until the aggregate
city taxation for last year is reported at
1886, 439, 900, and the aggregate city in
debtedness at S175,657, 000-over $2l of
taxation and over $15 Of indebtedness for
each inhabitant. In some cities Governor
Tilden thinks the taxation is now from one
third to one-half the income of real estate
Clearly something has got to be done. The
civil-remedy bills are excellent as far as
they go but they are in the nature of
cure. What is wanted is prevention. This
is to be sought and found, Governor Tiden
thinks, in an amendment to the state Con
stitution fixing the general plan of NUM-
cipal government, especially in respect to
the appointing power, and at the same
time establishing on durable basis official
accountability" He accordingly advises
the appointment of commission to look
into the subject and report to the next leg
islature. His review, says the Springfield
Republican,, of the municipal history of
New York city is admirably well done.
So is his analysis of the doctrine of local
self-government, the conditions of which
he finds to be scientific organization con-
centration of power and responsibility ;
the exclusion of national politics safe
guards against patronage and other cor
rupting influences; three-iold official ac-
countability, to the whole body of voters
at the polls to taxpayers through the
courts, and to the state.
