Those of our Democratic friends who
desire to subscribe for q New York
Paper will find none that equals The
World in ability, or that SO fearlessly
and clearly advocates Democratic
principles. In the news from all parts
Of the world, it is complete, and it's
editorials on NIL subjects are vigorous
and logical. To the farmer it is un-
valuable: teaches him many things
that tend to promote his best interests
which he sorely needs his eyes opened
to. The World is now doing q great
work in behalf of the Democratic party,
and should be fully sustained. Bing-

SENATOR ROBEpTsON's PLAN FOR AN ELEVATED
RAuWAY-MR. DEssARs GENERAL STREET RAIL
WAY BILL
IrRoM THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUSE1
ALBANY Feb. 96.-If New-York never gets rapid
transit it will not be for the lack of plans. Two
new schemes were added to-day to the number al
ready before the Legislature. Senator Robertsons
bill is only for an elevated RAILROAD, and provides
that any number of persons not less than 30 may as
socae themselves together for the purpose of con-
rtructnq an elevated railroad for public in the
carrying of passengers and mails The articles OF
association must state the Names proposed dura-
fion of the association, the amount of capital stock
which must not be less than $300 900 for every mile
of railroad proposed TO be constructed, &c These
articles of association are to be filed In the
Office of the Clerk of the Common Coun-
ell of the city in which it is pro-
posed to construct the road, and in the
office of the Secretary of State, but are not
70 be filed until at least $4,000 OF stock for every
mile of road is subscribed, and 10 per cent paid IN
good faith and in cash to the directors Every
Company before constructing any part of its road,
shall make a map and elevation of the route pro-
rosed. for the information of the public, and any
person feeling himself aggrieved may apply to any
Jnstice of the Supreme Court. who may appoint
three comm ssoners to examine the proposed route
and to confirm or alter the plan, may be
necessary.
1t is expressly stipulated in the act that no part Of
the route in the City of New-YOrk shall be
along Broadway or Ffth-ave., Central Park.
Whenever the route of any elevated railroad has
been designated and the certificate fled the Mayor
and Common Council shall have the right to open
and Law out public highway for rapid transit along
this route The law officer of the city is authorized
TO apply to the Supreme Court for the appointment
Of three Commissioners of Estimate and Assessment
for thei rapid transit highway, who may assess
upon the city such part Of the expense of the i'm
provenent as seems just and equitable. They shall
announce the time at which the highway shall be
spened and at the expiration of that PERIOD all the
buildings along the highway shall be removed by
the city government. On acquiring the title TO
such land, the Mayor and Common Council NAV
lease it TO the company for the of its corporate
existence for nominal rent. Passenger fares are
not TO exceed two cents a mile. and communication
tickets are to be sold at rates fixed by the Mayor
and Common Council. Four half fare trains are TO
be run each way. morning and evening, and the
speed of all trains must not be less than Is miles

MI. Dessar of New-York introduced general bill
in the Assembly authorizing Mayors and Boards of
Aldermen to designate certain streets and avenues
along which railways NAV be constructed and CIV

struction of such.
