MORE BONDS? ?

Assemblyman Thomas Cooper Campbell
seems to be of opinion that the debt of New
York City needs 10 be increased. lie has in
troduced a bill at Albany providing for the
issue of SS75,OOO more bonds to raise money
to be expended on Museum of Natural His
tory, and the further orDamentation Of the
Central Park The TRIBUNE protests against
the proposed measure, and all other measures
for increasing the amount of the municipal
Indebtedness.
The interest on the bonds of the city, lcav-
ing out of the account the securities held by
the Sinking Fund, constitutes a permanent
and irreducible annual charge on the tax-pay-
ers, over and above all ordinary expenses. Of
nearly nine million dollars year. This per-
petual annual tax increases with tho growth
of the principal Of the debt. In addition to
paying the interest the city has TO meet all Its
New-York tribune., 1875-03-10

othcr expenses, and II 10 10 DO observed that

expenses of governing tho city Wa have no
objection 10 u Musenm of Natural History. but
tho erection ut such building will not mako
tho cost OF government penny losn than IL
Ia. but will add sovefa thousand dollars to
tho annual taxes fos all indefinite number OF
yeafs to come,
II Ia thought by peisons whose opinions arc
entitled t0 confederation that no great addl-
ton can be made 20 tho yearly taxation OF
th,s city without serious risk of injury TO its
commercial prosperity. In this opinion we
fally agree. But IL Is easy to demonstrate
mathemntically that by adding every year six
or seven hundred thousand dollars to our in
tcrest account, as we have been doing for the
last three years, we leave ourselves no choice
between insolvency and increased taxation
Experience shows that under this sort OF
iinanciering taxes do increase. The current
ordinary expenses of tho city must grow
as population increases. The police force
must be maintained, the streets lighted,
swept, and kept in repair, the criminal
destitute and unfortunate classes provided for,
the schools sustained, and justice administered,
and all these things must be done at cost
which has never been known to go backward.
At the same time the fund out of which so
many heavy payments must be made is pro-
vided by the trade and commerce Of the city,
which the city is liable to lose If another pnie
should be able to offer equal or superior ad-
vantages. just now the trade and commerce
of the city, and consequently the income OF
its inhabitants, cannot be said to be flourish
ing, and those in authority ought to be very
cautious about making additional levies on
the private revenue of the citizen, out OF
which, or out of his capital, all taxes are
paid.
We observe that the export trade OF Boston
for the first two months of the current year
] is the largest on record for long term OF
years. That of New York is less than for the
same period in either of the two preceding
years. Would it not be well to stop and re-
cOnnOiter before authorizing further progress
in the accumulation of debt 7 Perhaps we are
taxed too much already. At any rate it is a
point worth investigating whether little
self-denial in the matter of parks, drives, &c
| would not be Salutary.

"BY REASON OF INSANITY"

When man commits murder, moved
thereto BIZ wrongs for which human justice
affords him no adequate redress; when he
kills to use the cOmmOnest illustration, the
debaucher of his wife or his daughter, and
the soft-hear.ed jury, though he be as sane as
anybody in the courtroom, brings him in
"Not guilty, by reason of insanity the sat
isfaction which sympathizing observers feel at
his escape is little diminished by the fraud
ulent nature of the finding. A case in Cali
fornia affords an illustration. Muybridge was
indicted for the murder Of Larkyns, who had
misled Mrs. Muybridge. At first the jury
stood five for conviction and seven for acquit-
tai. A second ballot on the same day gave
the same result. Finally all the jurors agreed
that the prisoner was justified in killing Lar
kyus, but differed as to the form of the YER
dict, the majority c0ntending for simple
"Not guilty." the others holding for Not
"guilty ON account of insanity The
majority at last carried their point,
and verdict of "Not guilty" alono was
agreed upon. Now, whether the prisoner was
guilty or not, we are free to say that We
like the moral courage of calling a spade a
spade. If these jurors thought Muybridge
justified in Staying the violatOr of his honor
and the destroyer of his domestic happiness,
We are glad to find them frank at least in
avOwing an opinion which, OF course, upon
the other hand we esteem fearfully erroneous.
We do not think that the most outrageous
personal wrong justifies the murder of the
wrong doer. We deny, and all clear-headed,
right thinking persons will join with US in
denying, the right of private vengeance. No
apparent necessity, no social inconvenience,
however pressing, no extraordinary instance
of peculiar guilt, no difficulty in obtaining
regular convictions, no evidence of beastly
and almost total depravity, shall extOrt from
us the admission that what is called Lynch
Law is desirable as a precedent or in practice.
Neither are we prepared to approve verdicts
of "Not guilty." arrived at through the emo
tons without regard to plain and unquestion-
able evidence. We do not think that false

show how superior arc the reserves from
which even the Scptennato can draw for the
purposes Of government. We do not presume
TO east tho horoscope of France, but we de-
cline TO accept the auguries of evil coming
from tho men who feel that If the Bona
parties are kept from the throne, the tiddiing

Hampshire, always a closely contested
State gives pause at the present election to
the gentlemen who supposed that the Repub-
lican party was destroyed because the Admin
istration had become unpopular Eliminate
Grantsm from the contest and the party rises
at once. Democrats who have sup
posed that their organization was certain
to ride uninterrupted into power on the wave
that was sweeping over Grant, will see in this
mornings returns reason for the most careful
revision of their calculations, mOdcra-
ton of their hopes, resolution to put
their best foot foremost, and anxiety to
court all possible allies Republi-
cans will see the same, and those independent
citizens who are resolved no longer to be
bound by the ties of blind PARTISAN
ship may perceive in the situation which
New Hampshire reveals their OppOrtu-
nIty for good service to the country.
The dispatches received last night indicate
that the greater part of the doubtful vote was
given to the Republican ticket, and that the
State has therefore gone Republican. Person
c. Cheney, the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor is reported elected by small ma
iority Oh the popular vote, and the choice of
a large majority of Republicans TO the Legis-
lature places his success beyond doubt if the
election devolves upon that body. The result
of the vote for congressman is involved in a
good deal of uncertainty, with probabilities
i'll favor of the election of two Republicans,
and possibility that the entire delegation Is
Republican. The Democrats, however, claim
the election of one if not two of their candi-
dates. The vote was generally heavy. and
thnre MeIe considerable ReDublican gains.

The business men of New-YOrk, with gem
tlemen like William E. Dodge and Moses
Taylor at their head united last night in pay
ing generous tribute to Mr.. S. B. Chittenden,
on the occasion of his retiring from business,
after career of third OF CEN
tury as Wholesale merchant IN this
city. AS graceful farewell to an
old business comrade, the demonstration
would scarcely call for public remark. But
there are two features i'll Mr.. Chittenden's s
career-the two which in the course of his
little speech Mr.. Phelps sgnallzed-which
make this honor to him public concern. AT
a time when black lists were framed for the
purpose of preventing New-YOrl merchants
from expressing their opinions on the subject
of slavery for fear of losing Southern custom,
Mr.. Chittendcn was prompt to announce that
his goods were for sale but not bis principles.
That struggle for the rights of the negro
ended, another came on for the rights of the
former masters, and in this though his hair
is now silvcred, MIR. ChitteDden during the
late session of Congress was as active and as
enthusiastic as he was in his days OF youthful
| zeal for the slave.

The jury of inquest as to the causes of the

which ought to enable them to render ver-

charge given them by the Coroner at the close
of the investigation. People generally will
agree with Coroner EickhOff that no "white-

Justice in this case. 1t will not do to make

New-York tribune., 1875-03-10

On the whole there is reason TO believe that
the Senate Committees have been somewhat
;mnroyed by the reorganization ann ounced in
our Washington dispatches. The most ap-
narent defects in the reorganization are those
caused by the obedience of the Senate to re-
ou;rcments of etiquette OF by following prece-
dents not easily evaded. 1t is encouraging to
find the Committee having charge OF financial
matters reinforced by the appointment OF
Senators who are earnest friends of an honest
currency.

The mortuary reports presented to the Board
of Health yesterday show that the prevailing
dampness and frequent changes OF the weather
during the first week of March told with dis
tressing result upon the death list. There was
large increase over the week Immediately
previous in the total number Of deaths, and
cases OF Pneumonia and Diphtheria seem to have
been especially numerous and fatal. AS here
tofore, it was clearly demonstrated that the
fatality in Diphtherla was greatest in those
neighborhoods in which the least attention is
paid to sanitary regulations and hygienic con-
ditions. Pneumonia, which has proved
unusually destructive of life during the pass
ing Winter, is to be made the subject OF
thorough investigation and report, the duty
dcvoving upon DR.. Francis Delafeld. The
only gratifying figures given in these reports
are those showing that the decrease in the
number of smallpox cases in the city is con-
siderable. although it is stated that this
disease has attacked the inmates of The public
institutions on Blackwell's Island

delivered last night by Prof. Langley on this

which Prof, Langley has made tho Allegheny
