About This Time Look Out for
Tricks.

The fight of the citizens of New York with
the horse car companies has rallying cry
which comprises its chief object namely,
'No seat no fare" Until that has been put
in binding force by legal enactment the
struggle can ia no sense be ended. Since
the HERALD has given the grievances of the
travelling public the prominence they called
for the railway companies are showing dis
position to be more accommodating. Well
and good They have put on more cars, and
during snow storms we observe that on the
Third avenue line they give transfer checks
to passengers from above the depot at Sixty
fifth street who may not have obtained
seats Formerly in severe weather they re-
fused to give these checks, and passenger
who had no seat before arriving at the depot
would be obliged to travel standing all the
way. In former seasons when snow was on
the ground they doubled up" putting four
horses on half the usual number of cars
This year, during our first snow storm of
last week, they doubled the horses
when necessary and did not sem
sibly reduce the number of cars We
note these concessions frankly, but as they
may form trick to allay popular indigna-
ton while the Legislature is in session we
warn the public to be on its guard against
all such temporizing attempts. The full
measure of ''no seat no fare" must be in
sisted on, and nothing allowed to befog that
issue with the companies.
The tricks of the companies are likely to
take another direction which needs watch
ing. Great care must be taken that sham
bills are not introduced into the Legislature
by members in the interest of the railroads,
though avowedly in the interest of the peo-
pie. The railroad lobbyists who swarm OF
Albany are shrewd enough to endeavor to
satisfy the public with such "a sop to Ger
berus" while taking more tangible means to
settle the question with the consciences OF
purchasable or cajolable members. The
representatives must be watched, and nc
member false to his duty should be reelected,
while the full rigor Of the law should be ap-
piled to. any member base enough to sell
himself Governor Tilden is a New Yorker
and we hope that, as he knows the wants o
our great city in this respect, he will tak'
his eyes Of the Presidency for little while
and exhibit little of his cleverness In an

able director Professor Theodore Dwight this
is the point TO be considered. II is not true
that the students of that or any other law
school are admitted to practice with
out an examination. They are admitted
upon the examination passed for their
diplomas, and may beagain examined if the
judges think proper. The law, therefore,
simply substitutes in certain cases one ex-
animation for another Such as do not
get admitted on a diploma must pass
examiners appointed by the Supreme
Court Ii is pretty well known that
that examination may become, and has
become, farcical formality. Everybody
was member of the Bar" under that
regime, and the honor was one of the things
that even Tweed himself condescended to
take Now. college examination is seldom a
farcical formality, as many sorely plucked
sinner knows. In our opinion the present
system, SO far as it involves the Columbia
school, is a good one and will not be i'm
proved by change. That any law school
ever makes thorough lawyers, or that men
admitted by any system are thorough lawyers
when admitted, no one can believe

the minimum Of intercourse between their
governments. We have had of late years
many European visitors of birth, breeding
and culture (Lord Houghton is recent in
stance), and every such person having
proper title to social consideration is made
the recipient of hospitable attentions, and
carries home and diffuses in his own circle
juster ideas of American society than could
be acquired through aldermanic or federal
hospitality. Our most opulent and culti-
waited classes are not, as a general rule. the
most active in our politics, and large pro-
portion of our intellectual and social culture
is found in other walks of life. Many
foreigners Of distinction will doubtless visit
the country during the centennial year, and
there is no reason to fear that they will be
sighted or that they will depart from our
shores without having had opportunities for
estimating American culture in its best
aspects 1t is rather what the cultivated and
influential classes in Europe think of us
than what their sovereigns may think that
must raise us in general foreign estimation.
Considering the class of men who manage
our politics we fear that little would be
learned TO our advantage in the formalities
of official entertainments. Such considera-
tions may, perhaps, help to reconcile us to
the foregone impossibility of procuring from
Congress an appropriation for marking our
appreciation of foreign sovereigns.
The New York herald., 1876-02-07
The .Anaire Catacary.-

Among the diplomatic scandals recalled
into freshness by Mr.. jays interesting letter
is the famous ''qfdire CdtGcazy" which is
the most piquant of all the scandals of the
kind in our diplomatic history by the fact
that it had social az well as political side.
MIR. jay very properly ignores its singular
social features, making no allusion to Mad
ame Catacazy, nor TO the great futter which
her eccentricities and those of her husband
caused in Washington society. Mr.. Cat
acazy was dismissed because he had be-
come personally offensive and socially in
tolerable to the Secretary of State, who ac-
cused him of intermeddling duplicity,
downright lying and covertly supplying GER
tain newspapers with scandalous statements.
The demand for his recall was made at a
very awkward juncture. The Grand Duke
| Alexis was then about TO make his visit to
the United States, and it was desirable that
he should have the attendance of Minister
who had resided long enough in the country
to be q serviceable guide for the purposes of
the visit. Mr.. Curtin, our Minister at ST
Petersburg, telegraphed:-"The Emperor
requests the President to tolerate the pres
ence of Mr. Catacazy until after the visit Of
the Grand Duke, and he will then be re-
called"
Mr.. Jay thinks, and we presume most in
telligent people will agree with him, that
the answer to that telegram was as moladroa
a specimen of diplomatic impropriety as
could have been perpetrated The reply
was couched in these terms-''The Presi-
dent has decided to tolerate the present Min
lister until after the visit of the Prince That
Minister will then be dismissed if not re-
called" There was no need of subjoining
this threat, for the Emperor had promised to
recall him at the conclusion of the visit.
We do not wonder that Mr.. Jay regards it as
singular exhibition of diplomatic manners.
He says the affair was a good deal
discussed in Europe, especially in
diplomatic circles, and that it was
reported that the Emperor said on
reading the American telegram Do they
doubt my word" 1t was certainly gratui-
tous exhibition of discourtesy. Mr.. Jay adds
that "the assurance that the President would
| tolerate Mr.. Catacazy until after the visit Of
Alexis, however ungraciously given, seems
to have been relied on in protecting Alexis
from any discourtesy from our government
on this account and surprise and some
thing more was aroused at st. Petersburg,
and indeed throughout Europe, when the
son of the Gar of all the Russias was al
lowed to leave Washington without being
asked to break bread with the Chief of the
| Renuhlic" " This and the other instances of
diplomatic discourtesy noticed by Mr.. Jay
are pretty certain to provoke great deal of
comment and perhaps some controversy.
