CONDUCTORS ON CITY RAILROADS.

A proposition has been introduced in
the Legislature to require our city rail-
roads to emf 10y conductors upon their
cars. We do not see the necessity Of this
measure, while we believe that it would
prove a burdensome and, in some in
stances, ruinous expense to the compa-
MES.
A few cases have been cited where the
misconduct Of individuals has been often
sive or annoying to passengers on the
cars; but such cases are as likely to occur
with conductors as without, and NAV be
GENERALLY Us effectively controlled or pre-
vented by the driver as by conductor
1t would be reflection upon our citizens
to say that they would not as promptly
cooperate with the driver as with a con-
ductor in suppressing acts Of disorder or
improperly on the part of any passenger
1t is the observation Of all strangers
who travel upon our city railroads that
they compare most favo-ably with those
Of other cities in the order, comfort
and cleanliness Of the cars, aud in the
quiet and polite behavior of the passen-
gers.
In large cities like New York, Boston,
or Philadelphia, the street ears are usually
much larger than ours, while the stream
of travel is SO great and the change of
passengers SO frequent that the companies
are obliged, for their own protection, to
employ conductors IN order to save them
selves from heavy loss of fares. But
where the cars are as small as ours, and
the travel is light, no such necessity
exists.
For hours every day we may see the
cars on our most populous routes run
ming nearly empty. 1t would only entail
useless expense to compel them to carry
conductors at such times. In Louisville
and in Cincinnati, and other cities, the
cars of the same dimensions as ours are
run without conductors.
When we bear in mind the fact that
only two Of our several city roads are
enabled, with the most prudent economy,
to pay dividends upon the large sums in
vested in them, it would seem to be un-
wise and impolitic to insist upon adding
the burden of conductors to the heavy
expense they are already under in the
maintenance of their roads. Indeed, it
would be impossible for some of the lines
to continue to run if required to provide
for this additional expenditure. We are
informed that five hundred shares of one
of our most extensive railroad companies,
within few days past, were sold at one
dollar per share.
Our city railroads have become an in
dispensable necessity to the convenience
and comfort of the community.
1t is doubtful whether the Legislature
possesses the power to impose new and

THE FOES OF THE TEXAS PACIFIC.

The determination of all parties to
hunt the federal appropriations has fallen
with much weight upon some important
interests of the Southern States. A ques-
ton seems to arise: What party and what
cause is responsible for the untoward
prospects of those works. We propose to
assign few which, in our opinion, en-
ter mutually into the present prospects of
the levee and Pacific railroad.
l. The expenditures Of the govern
ment have become excessive There are
many corrupt men and extravagant
schemes among hundred thousand
oficeholders, and as many more lobby
lists and SPECTATORS The Democratic
party, having its full share Of these ad-
venturers, charge the whole responsibility
upon the Republicans.
2. The Republicans feeling as the chief
taxpayers the propriety Of reform and
economy, commence the restriction just at
the moment that the Southern Democracy
has consented to accept an appropriation
from the federal government
3. The Northern and Eastern interests,
having secured Pacific connection, have
no disposition to aid the South.
4. The Southern Democracy, having de-
termined to acquire control Of the States
by violence and traduction, have cut off
the cooperation Of the Republicans Of
the South, and convinced the Republicans

Santa Anna has secured his monument,
and does not intend that posterity shall
treat him as shabbily as it did the American
called George Washington; but he should
remember that Americans can't do every
thing 10 minute. They had to fix up Jim
Fisk, build monument or two for trotting
mares and bad poets, to keep their memories
green. Washington can wait.

THE MATTER OF THE CHARITY HOS
PITAL FUND.

THE MATTER OF THE CHARITY HOS
| PITAL FUND.
The explanations which have appeared
in reference to the Charity Hospital ap
preparation, and the means submitted t.
obtain the warrants, are far from being q!
satisfactory as the parties implicated seen
to think. Mr.. Newman's statement is t.
the effect that himself and others, plain
tiffs, obtained and had exclusive contro
of an injunction restraining the Auditor
from issuing the warrants. That he ct al
only consented to release this fund from
the injunction at the earnest solicitation
of the attorney for the Charity Hospital.
MIR. Bonzano shows that he was willing
to give $1,000 for the services thus per-
formed in obtaining the consent of the
parties to the Issue of the 5000
If parties are permitted thus to go into
court and obtain injuuctions, and then re-
lease them in favor of certain parties with
out the consent of the judge, there is little
need for that functionary. II there was
an injunction at all, as claimed by Mr.
Newman, which is denied by very high
authority, it could only be set aside by the
court, and the consent of the plaintiffs
was not necessary. Any party having an
interest could apply to have the injunc-
ton dissolved, and upon proper show
ing would succeed despite the opposition
of Newman ct ais. There was sort of
auditorial injunction placed upon the
issue of warrants to the REPUBLICAN. We
knew there was no sanction in law for the
unjust and arbitrary action of Mr.. Gin
ton, and finally instituted the suit, re-
Gently decided, in which q unanimous
bench gave judgment in our favor. Had
Mr.. Bonzano sent messenger, in the
shape of faithful lawyer, to the courts
with directions to pursue the rights
of the Charity Hospital openly, he
would have received his warrants
at a much less cost than s65CO. He
has, in this transaction, shown his in
to administer the trust confded
to him. There is, furthermore, conflict
between his statement and Mr.. Wheelock's
He alleged the fee did not come out of the
hospital fund, but was paid by the credit
ors. Mr.. Wheelock modifes this SO far
as to soy that he consented to take s11, 900
in satisfaction of claim for s14, 900, leav-
ing balance of $4,000 to the hospital. If
another creditor in a similar amount had
also RENTED $4,000 on condition of prompt
payment, that would make $4,000 saved If
this money was paid for attorneys fees,
after having been deducted as agreed |
upon, it would appear that the hospital
paid the debt 1t was very extravagant
price to pay for very little work, and We
ire surprised that Mr. Bonzano ever con-
'ented to authorize such contract. The |
work could have been done for much less.
