We publish elsewhere sketch Of the cab
business in London, its origin, progress and
present condition. A comparison between
our hack laws in New York and those of the
English metropolis will afford some idea of
the abuses to which we ore subjected. Yet
there is no reason why we should not be as
well protected, as we'll served and as well ac-
commodated as the Londoners are. We do
not, of course, expect or demand that cabs
shall be run at as low rates of fare here as
they are there Our people are quite willing
to pay double or even little more than
double the English fare New York is not
SO populous MS London; the people do not
ride as much here as they do there, the for
nation of the city is different and the roads
are excellent in London and execrable in
New York. Then, cabs cost more to build
here, and feed, stable room and wages are
higher. But, having conceded a largely in
creased rate Of fare to the New York cabman,
our people insist that we are entitled to good
accommodation and to the protection of
efficient laws regulating the business.
In London the fare is twenty-five cents for
any distance not exceeding two miles, and
beyond that distance twelve and half cents
mile or for fraction of mile. By time
the fares are from fifty to sixty-two and a
half cents for one hour or any part of an
hour, and from twelve and half cents to six
teen cents for every additional fifteen min
utes or less. The lower price applies
to 'sfour-wheelers" and the higher to
''hansoms." Now, if we had cheap cabs
run at twenty-five cents mile, or a
dollar an hour, it would satisfy the New
York people and would be one hundred
per cent above London rates. The fare
might even be tribe higher and the cabs
would find plenty of custom. But with this
iberality on the part of the public why
should we not have laws requiring the con-
dition of vehicles, horses and harness to be
satisfactory to inspectors; imposing penalties
for violations; regulating the number OF
passengers to be carried, the lighting of the
hack lamps, &C., and insuring the safety of
packages accidentally left in cabs !? These
are the London laws, and there is no reason
why they should not be applied to New York.

to support the Dark Horse, and there
has been considerable speculation as to
who the Dark Horse may be. Will it
be the joint selection of the President and
Mr.. Conkling, the latter magnanimously sur
rendering his claims in favor of the real
preference Of the President? II Mr. Conk-
ling finds that he cannot be the candidate
himself he is politician of too much sa-
gacity to throw away his strength. but
will try to utilize it and make it q
means of influence in the new cdminis-
tration. With the active cooperation of the
President he might be able to dictate the
candidate il he fails himself If the Great
Unknown, on whom they may unite, should
happen to be Secretary Fish, they may Sc
cure his nomination if they are alert enough
and play their cards skilfully. There is only
one newspaper in the United States that is &C
customed to speak disparagingly of Secretary
Fish, and that is about the last journal whose
advice the republican party would be likely
to follow.
If the President has any thought of unit
ing with Senator Conkling to bring out some
Great Unknown he must relinquish even his
apparent apathy, for q counter combination
is already on foot which is sure to be man
aged with consummate dexterity. Mr..
Blaine, who is Senator Conkling's most for
midable competitor. will not permit Conk-
ling's influence to predominant if he can
help it Neither Blaine nor his friends
would have anything to expect from
an administration on which Conkling
had strong claims, and accordingly Blaine
has the same motives as Conkling to make
an alliance which will enable him to control
the nomination if he cannot secure it. If he
should ultimately transfer his influence to
Hayes his chances for foiling the Conkling
combination would be very good indeed. So
it may happen, after all, that the Dark
Horse will prove to be one Of the known
candidates.

ing conventions did not then exist, and that
Mr. Adams was the spontaneous selection of
the whole federal party.
Jefferson, who was the next President that
served eight years, had very decided choice
among the democratic rivals for the success
sion, but when Monroes friends tried to
make trouble in the party, on account of
this preference, jefferson wrote Monroe
pacifying letter, but continued to exert his
influence oil the same in favor Of Madison,
as may be seen in Hildreths History. Jack
son. in like manner, exerted himself success
fully to procure the nomination of Van Buren,,
and broke up his Cabinet because some of
its members preferred Calhoun to his
personal favorite. Such preferences for the
successorship on the part of President are
defensible on the ground that he is justi-
fed in desiring the continuance of his own
policy, if he believes it to be right, and that
he is n competent judge as to who would
most truly represent it. Besides, he is
bound by the same principle which should
regulate the political conduct of private
citizens. 1t is the duty Of every citizen to
exert such political influence as he may have
in favor of good government, and the greater
the influence Of a citizen the greater is his
responsibility. The President is no more
exempted than q private individual from
doing his best to promote the general well
fare, and he is altogether culpable if he
would do less for another candidate
than he would fer himself While Presi-
dent Grant thought he had chances for
a third term he was active enough in trying
to foster them, and had he exerted himself
with equal caution and vigor for Mr.. Conk-
ling he could have secured his nomination.
1t has been suggested that President
Grants apathy is rather apparent than real;
that he is giving Mr.. Conkling Just
countenance enough to keep him in
the field; that he intends ultimately

Immigration

The Legislature has voted the present
Commissioner of Immigration a bore
2 stumbling bIock-a nuisance-and has
reduced his salary to a nominal sum.
But it does not, by any means, design
that this vote shall be construed into an
expression Of opposition to Immigration.
In another column we have published
a letter from NJ B. HiIIyard, Esq, Of
McComb City, with whose active and
earnest Iabors in making known the ad-
vantages of our State to persons who de-
sire to settle among US, the public is
familiar. Mr.. HiIIyard proposes a
plan by which the State can Sc
cure the services of efficient imm.-
grafton agents without the present
immigration bureau NUISANCE. 1t
IS simply to pass law compromising
agents who will bring into the State
persons that viii come prepared
to purchase lands with guarantee of
permanent occupations. And also to
exempt said lands from taxation, as pro-
posed by the writer Gin another journaU
for a given number of years The plan
is safe, simple and economical. 1t will
secure good service, and is a guarantee
against payment of public moneys for
purposes, except in cases
where service is actually rendered. 1t
will also secure the class of settlers who
are most desired for the material de-
velopment and social progress of the
State.
We would earnestly commend the let
ter Of Mr.. Hillyard to the attention of
The members Of the Legislature.

in the House, by Mr.. Clay to relieve the
taxpayers of Bolivar county, sets forth
fully the disregard for law and the Con
