Reducing the Peoples Burdens.
Mr.SAMrE1 j. RASpALL va, reuominated
Tor Congress on tuesday, and the couu-
Try is to be congratulated upon tie fact.
| lie is Democrat Of the straiahtost sect;
! bpt he is also something more and better
a reformer, who never turns back from
the work.
Mr.. RANDALL's services during the last
session OF Congress were of very high or
der. Tie leading position he had taken at
the close of the Folty-third Congress en-
titled him to speak FOR the majority OF the
incoming House; and when he announced
his conviction that the expenditures Of tho
Government might and should be reduced
by at least Si0,0W,0O0, rogues, rings, and
the army OF Republican ofiicehoiders,
sueerel. but the people took heart of hope
and badc Mr. RANDALL godspoed rs thcy
saw him strip Tor the tight. lie was can
didate for Speaker. and narrowly missed
the great honor, winch fell to Mr.. KERR
for whict we were then, and are still, duly
thankful, not because Mr., RANDALL was
! anywise unfit for the duties OF the Chair
but because his unbending integrity, his
high courage, aud his persistent spirit,
were required elsewhere. We doubt
whether Mr. RAND ALL, if elected Speaker,
could have appointed his committees
so rs TO effect the enormous reductions
which he then. almost alone, believed
practicable. What man in the House could
have taken the place Mr. KEER assigned to
Inn at the head of the Appropriations
Committee, aud achieved the results which
now go before the country as the grand
earnest Of rc;reuchmcnt and reform; Not
one member out Of fifty has the physical
ability to carry such load. NJ. kERH
would have broken down under II IN
week.
y Chairman OF this committee MI
R,NDALL succeeded Credit Mobl.ler GAR
Field, who, according 10 ms friend 'Hlr-
TENDEN. "hcll the purse Strings ot the
nation in his haud-.' aId held thea prll-
cipllly for the hCu-At Of piundelcIs Ike
SHEPHERD, ANLs, and De GoLYrR. Under
him the rings hoVI shed ana tho thieves
fateucd; the Treasury was tapped on
every side and great streams Of revenue
drawn away for corrupt and improper
purposes. Mr.. RANDALL understood the
power oc the committee. and when the
"strincs came into his hands, lac held
tlcA rs every honest agent holds the purse
committed to his keeping with q ii'm and
sturdy grasp, determined never to Let out
a s.rGi e dollar that was not clearly iepuir-
cd foi the support Of The Government.

stitut'on Of Italy whose summary reform
was not guaranteed by the present mill
istry before their assumption of office.
Their programme announced the abolition
OF sub-prefectures and prefectural coun-
cils, and the nomination OF Mayors 10y the
communal boards, while the latter bodies
were TO DO chosen, as in France, by the
local electors. a thorough revision of the
'rnN bill was declared urgent, and OF tho
meal tax, which, by the way, was largely
chargeablc with the overthrow of tho
MfNGnErrI Ministry, Sgnor DEPRETTs said
that he considered that impost negatiou
OF the Constitution.
The Liberal Government has been in
power five months. and not one Of its
promises has been kept. II is true that tho
bill which lately passed both houses Of
Parliament for the purchase by the state
OF tho railway system IN the north of Italy,
commits the management of the roads TO
private hands. THIS il obviously q partial
concession TO sound economical principles.
The contract, however. imposes mon
strous burden on the shoulders of the rate
payer nnd is only slightly more favorable
than that sanctioned by Signor MINGuErTI,
and whose exorbitant terms contributed
not little to the downfall of his Minis
ter. We observe with regret the reluctance
OF his successor to undertake the work of
fiscal reform, and of decentralization. The
progress of Italy Il viewed with lively
interest by the friends of free government.

On the night of June "a, 1874, Onicer

suspicious mufied hammerinG in the vaults Of
the New York Savings Bank at Eighth avenue
and Fourteenth street. suspecting that burg
lara were drilling into the bank vault, he sum
moned Capt. Cherry, and after a force Of polioe
officers had surrounded the hank, John Simp-
son, Charles sanborn, and William Morgan were
arrested. Another Of the gang escaped by run
ming across the roofs. Tho thieves had rented a
house adjoining the bank, and to deceive every
body one OF the gang, calling himself J. j. Gil
more, had opened an eating house. The thieves
had drilled hole four feet square through the
wall into the bank cellar, and thus prepared
themselves to work upon tho granite vault. In
order to do this the more effectively they had
rugged a steam engine and operated steam
dH with which they had drilled hole one
inch H. diameter and two inches deep into the
granite. 1t was evidently the Intention of the
thieves 10 force an entrance on the 4th and jth
Of july, which fell on Saturday and SUNDAY, and
so promised them two days OF uninterrupted

BLACK FRIDAY AGAIN.
How Thomns g. sherman would get Jay
Gould Out Of TroubIe.

The stock suit of De Witt c. Taylor
against Jay Gould and James NJ. Boch, made
notable by the defence interposed, was called
for trial before Judge Barrett Yesterday. The
plaintiff says that on BLACK Friday" Sept. %,
1869, he agreed with the defendants and James
Fisk TO sell for defendants $200,0OO worth Of
gold, deliverable and payable next day; that de-
PENDANTS, by the rules OF the Stock Exch snge,
were to pay twenty-five percentum deposit. but
fai ed TO d % So and the gold was sold for and on
account OF the defendants that plaintif was
Obliged TO nav $3.50 commissions that the gold
brought f2t6,J0O, and that the market value OF
the gold had 80 declined below the price which
defendants and Fisk had agreed to paw for Il.
that loss OF $500 resulted to plaintiff, for
which he sues.
The answer is that there was no positive agree
ment to sell or buy. but that at maturity the
difference between the market value ana the
pretended contract price should oe paid 10y one
party or the other; that the transaction was a
mere bet or wager on IA future market price, and
that the persons Intended thereby u evade and
violate the statute against gaming and betting.
Messrs Peckham and Fowler, for the plaintiff,
asked for days delay on account Of the en-
gagement OF two Of the counsel, Mr.. A. y. sui
Ivan and Mr.. Robert Sewel
Mr. ThOmas q. Shearman, for MIR, Gould,
strongly objected. A Jury was called and sworn.
The case went over.
