able to extort as absolute support from his
political opponents as from his political friends
As to tho general principle contained IN tins
bill, he will get the Same support again. one
curse of our whole system OF governmont Ill
New-YGk, whether State or municipal, has been
the unreasonable number Of Offices which inc
average voter was compelled to make up hiS
mind about select candidate for, and Vore
on. We have long argued that il we
could get responsible Mayor in New
York, could intrust him with the power TO
select his subordinates, and could turn MN
out at the next election, if the city
business were not well conducted
we should get on vastly Better
than with the present hydra-headed system IN
which there is no responsibility, and no citizen
who does not give his whole time to it can tell
whether or not he is voting for the right men,
The same argument will apply to state
affairs, even in ordinary times. 1t applies
now with ten-fold force. There can be no ques-
ton of the necessity that power should be
lodged in some safe and responsible hands
for touching the canal system at tho vital
points. The measure ROW proposed Is start
ling, but it will rally a great proportion OF the
best men in the Legislature to its support.

THE CIRCULATION or THE TRIBUNE.

We consider it proper, on this anniversary,
10 give to orr subscribers and the public Il
statement OF Our circulation. We do not
know that this has been rendered Necessary,
as some of our friends have suggested by
the daily falschood, Of those unhappy neigh
bors of OURS who sit disconsoatc in our shadow
and affect 10 NOUN over orr ruin. We hope
there is intelligence enough in the community to
comprehend these ccascle.s OutpOurings Of envy
and malice. But in Difference TO our friends and
TO our advertisers, we have no objection to making
known, in an UNREASONABLE form, the exact state
OF our circulation. OF course, these figures give
the number Of TRlBUSEs actually printed and
sold. The ridiculous story that We waste our
time and money in printing more papers than
We need could only have been invented by a
foolish knavc. and believed by knaysh fool.

To this it is proper to add that, up TIL the
beginning of April, we had for some months
been without sufficient facilities in tho con-
t,acted press-roOm to which the demands OF
the new building had driven U.s. We started
orr presses on first sides or supplements at
ten o'clock, and kept them running at the top
of their speed till half-past six or seven the
next morning. Ncwsdcalers were often
unwilling to wait in the morning until
we could furnish the number OF papers
they wanted, and left for their stands
with short supply. About the first OF the
present month we began to use the new per-
fecting press, built for us by K. Hoe ~ Co
the first in Use in this cOuntry-and thus had
q capacity for fifteen thousand perfect sheets
per hour added to orr press room. The effect
was instantly felt on the circulation.
II the other newspapers OF the city would
make a similar exhibit of their circulation,
with opportunity for its due and ample
autbentcation, we should have basis OF
comparison. But at present we prefer not
TO indulge in any approximate guessing.
We print. az an official and interesting mat
ter of news, q portion of the report OF the
New-YOrl Posi- Office to the Postmaster-Gen-
eral, giving thc quantity of each OF the four
cent papers cent by mail from this city, as seen
from the amount Of postage prepaid at this
Office for the month of January, 1879. 1t
shows how largely ahead TIE TRIBUNE Is III
its out-Of-tOwn circulation.

IT should be remembered that in weight THE
TRIBUNE, Herald and Times average nearly
the same, the latter being perhaps a trtle the
heaviest, that The World is a little lighter and
that The Independent generally weighs more
than any of them.
In city circulation there are no such ready
and complete means Of exhibiting the facts.
1t is well known however that The Herald has
long had the largest. As to the others, few

Rochester, the home Of the Lords, and SYRIA
cuse, the home OF the Beldens and Dcnison,
divide The celebrity of being the headquarters
of the Canal Ring. Syracuse, however, WAS
one of the first cities to speak in approval OF
the Reform movement, and now Rochester is
heard from in equally emphatic words to the
same effect. The Rochester meeting was held
last night, and seems TO have been fairly
representative of the sentiment Of the best
classes in the community, irrespective OF politi-
cad affiliations. TIE course OF the Governor
was earnestly commended, and the loose man
agement Of the canal SYSTEM especially in the
matter of unbalanced bids, warmly denounced
while steps were taken also in the direction Of
an investigation into certain local Improve
"ments" with which the Lords are reputed to
have had on improper connection at the ex-
pense of the City Of Rochester.

Prof. Sbaler of Harvard College has started
an enterprise, described on our sixteenth page,
which promises to rival for the land what
Penikese is to the sea. The great success of
the Anderson School of Natural History is
due to its principle Of bringing tho student face
to face with Nature instead of books. But
the investigations made on that little island in
Buzzard's Bay are generally limited to what
can be brought up from the surrounding
waters. Tie new scheme of Prof. Shaler will
establish Summer school for at least
season in the mountain region of
Kentucky, and there the students will
become faIniliarized with the rocks and
mineral Developments of osr continent. Under
the management of so accomplished teacher,
the improvement of the class in a practical
knowledge of geology may be safely prophesed.

THE CROPS.

The Texas advices as to growing crops, like
other States, continue favorable. The weather
is too dry, however, and rain is beginning to
be generally needed, though not badly IS yet.
The Alexandra (La.) Democrat of the 10th
inst, says: From every corner of the parish,
from the Western line beyond the Calcasieu
and Ten Mile, to the northeast side of our
fertile parish, good and cheering news reaches
rs of the really fine growing crop of corn,
cotton and cane, and hardly from any single
spot does the vail of the croaker reach us.
The Opelousas Courier, of the 10Th inst,
says As to crops in this parish, they have
never been so promising for many years. But
little sugar is made here, cotton being our
principal crop, and both are in excellent cum
dition. The corn crop, which is becoming a
more important one each year, is also very
fine, and larger one than usual is being
planted this year, as well as more potatoes,
rice, peas, ETC., our farmers ought to make
almost enough of these for home consump-
ton.
The vermilionville (Lafayette) Advertiser,
Of the 10Th inst, says: The crop prospects
are still good in this parish. In some local
ties, the cotton has suffered somewhat fol
want of rain, and the tasseled corn is needing
Il to insure q full yield. As we write, the in.
dications are favorable for the desired show.

inst, says Our crops are progressing salts

PROFESSIONAL BONDSMEN.
One Of Them in Trouble.

For long time the police and detectives
have. been thwarted in their efforts to sup
press crime in every phase by certain class
of individuals who hang around the Record
ers and other courts for the purpose OF far
nishing bonds for prisoners and all classes OF
thieves who are willing to pay literally for
bondsman, who swear to the ownership Of
large properties which exist merely in their
"mind's eye," and receive a. remuneration
often portion Of the money stolen.
One of this class Of self.made property
holders or professional bondsmen, named
Huly, was brought to taw ON Saturday by De-
tective Cain. It appears that when Mrs
Seser, whom the negro nurse accused OF rob.
bling Mr.. Saurez, ct 452 Love street. OF
$4,000, on or about the 18th of May last,
this fellow Huly signed the bonds OF the
woman, he swearing to the ownership OF real
estate to the amount of $500, the said prop
erty being located in Rickerville, and bounded
by Octavia, Burke, Hodge and Joseph streets.
Upon close examination into the matter 1t
was discovered that this property was only
assessed OF $500. Uncommon with the balance
of like squares in the neighborhood.
On Saturday, the 18th inst, Huly was or !.
rested, and while in the Office Of the chief
clerk of Judge Longs court stole the bond
which he had given on the 3lst OF May.
When searched the bond was found on his
person. -
Huly seems to be now in rather tight
place, as Detective Cane intends pushing the
matter to the fullest extent Of the law.

A SKIRMISH WITH A COWHIDE.

The rise in the thermometer and the pres
emit heat has engendered . bellicose DISPOSE
ton even in those of the feminine gender. ss
was evidenced by little affair which occurred
last evening about u O'Clock, on Canal street,
near Carondelet.
It seems that one Of the softer sex felt in
dionant at the action Of one of her whilom
friends, and proposed to adjust her difficult
ties by recourse to the use Of raw hide, .
practice which Of late has been considered
fruitful of danger. After investing fifteen
cents in q fine sample, she promenaded Canal
street until she met the gentleman she was in
search Of
At Carondelet street she Was graifed, and
approaching she drew her weapon; 6u. me ne
graspine il, drew it away from her grasp and
proceeded in cool and collected manner to
administer series of blows not exactly pleas
ant to the cuticle of the demoiselle. She
made hasty retreat and vanished in the
crowd.
