Pauper Corporal tions.

From the reports of the city horse car
companies received at Albany it appears
that they are nearly all paupers and on the
verge of bankruptcy. Only two or three
make any money, and the terrible rule with
the more fourishing and greatly patronized
lines is that their expenditures are in excess
of their receipts or balance them with nicely
that has the appearance of an interposition of
Divine Providence. 1t does not appear,
however, that any of these corporations are
thoroughly tired of this ruinous business
There is no whisper anywhere of an inten-
tion to wind up and sell out, and the devo-
tion to the public welfare that is implied in
the readiness Of these companies to go on
indefinitely losing money in order to carry
the people of this city to their domestic
hearths is one of the most touching circum-
stances in human history. We just want to
whisper in the ears of these people the
secret of their bad condition. 1t is
that their lines cost them too much. It
appears that there arc altogether one hun
dred and twcnty-six miles of railroad in use
for passenger traffic within the city limits,
and the aggregate cost, excepting five miles
of the Fourth avenue line, the cost of which
is not given, is S24, l44, 55S. This includes
the Elevated Railroad. 1t may startle the
public to find what admirable roads they
are-that is, judging their quality by their
price. The Elevated Railroad, for instance,
cost to build and equip it q triile over
$500, 900 mile. This, however, is but
bagatclle to the cost of the Third avenue line,
which is s53S, 900 per mile--more than half
q million dollars for each one of eight miles.
these lines do not earn any money when it
is seen on what u fearful original outlay
they have to pay earnings. The reason this
road cost so much is that the spikes with
which tho rails are fastened down are set
with diamonds. There is q diamond the size
of hickory nut in the head of every spike
or somewhere else. The average cost of
the construction and equipment of all the
city railroad lines is 100000 per mile.
With all the stealing that has been done on
the steam railroads of this country their
average cost is S60, 900 mile, or $140,000 a
mile less than is put down as the cost of
construction and equipment for the city
lines. 1t is estimated that the cost of the
construction of the Union Pacific Railroad
in cash would be S35, 900 a mile; yet it costs
to put down rails in our streets and supply
them with broken down horses and the sec
ond hand cars of the universe 5000, 900 u
mile Sharp tinanciers in this town.

OOings at Albany.

Although very little business was done at
Albany yesterday, indications were not lack
ing OF a disposition to pour into the Legis-
lature the customary flood of crude and un-
desirable bills. Ferry bills, gas bills, bank
bills and the like, inconsiderately drawn
and rushed forward at the commencement of
session may fairly be regarded as finger
posts on the lobby highway, pointing in the
direction of legislative blackmail. 1t might
be useful to mark where such measures
originate, especially when they are aimed
at rich corporations Very little legislation
is needed this year, and such laws as are
demanded in the public interest are such MS
require to be framed with care and judg-
ment The banking and insurance laws
need a thorough revision; the propositions
of the Municipal Charter Commission will
require action; canal legislation is ur-
gent; the taxation and assessment
laws should be revised and amended, and
there are other subjects which will prop
erly claim the attention of our legislators.
But the less legislative tinkering that is at
tempted the better will the people be salts
fed. A brief and business session this
year would be novelty and would encour-
age people to hope that the recent constitu-
tional amendments have secured substan-
tial reform.
The New York herald., 1877-01-10

To accomplish that end no intrigue is neces-
sary. dozen honest men can settle that
by an examination of the votes in
the disputed States. We believe the
honest men in the two houses of Con-
gress will settle it before the 14th
of February. When it is decided we shall
know who ought to be and will be Presi-
dent, and it will need no bargains with
Messrs. Chandler, Cameron and Morton, or
with Southern democrats no promises as
to policy here or in the South. 1t is curl
GUS that whatever phase this Hayes intrigue
has assumed the carpet-bag governments
always 60 to the wall, and we rejoice at that.
1t shows, at any rate, that Mr.. Hayes does
not contemplate continuance of bayonet
rule in the South. So far, good. But we
repeat that bargains cannot and will not
make the next President. Whoever was
elected must be put in and if in any State,
as in Louisiana, there has been such NAL
practice and corruption by both sides that
no legitimate result was reached, then the
constitution points out the next proper
course, which is that each house shall inn
mediately proceed to choose one of the two
officers-one the President, the other the
Vice President.

Dissoiving Views of Reform In Turkey.
That Turkey should be able to hold out
against the acceptance of programme of re-
form agreed upon by England, France,
Italy, Austria, Germany and Russia GER
tainly puts the amiable disposition if not
the helplessness of Europe in presence of
the so-called ''Sick Man" in a quaint light.
He who was classed as the invalid of the Con-
tinent in 1853, and who has been thought to
be going down ever since, now maintains
his opinion Of his own rights with such
tenacity and success that all the Powers
combined yield before him a programme
upon which they had agreed as the one
that he must necessarily adopt; and he
even respectfully invites their representa-
tives to adjourn and go home, while
he makes fresh preparations to reform
himself on the basis of docu-
ment, year old, that he formerly
treated with the same sovereign contempt
with which he now treats the Conference.
It is now proposed to bow the Conference
out with the suggestion that the Porte is
ready to reform itself on the basis of the
Andrassy note. In this respect the Porte
confesses itself to be like the gentleman who
was in favor Of the Maine law but opposed
to It's enforcement. The Andrassy note
involves the same scheme Of re-
forms proposed by the Conference;
but the Conference suggests a method Of
giving them practical effect, which the An
drassy note did not do Hence the prefer
ence for the note. Of course if the Con-
ference adjourns on this invitation and the
Powers take no steps to enforce their ad-
vice that will be the end of the whole story
for the present, and the next time Russia
moves it will probably be without concert
with other Powers.

Public Trustceship.

It is an event so painfully common for
private citizens intrusted with the admin
istration of estates to prove delinquent and
charge. though only of negligence, made
in similar connection against pub
lie officer attracts an attention of
which it might otherwise not be deemed
worthy. In the report of referee made to
a court in regard to the estate Of deceased
person, which was in the hands of Mr..
Algernon S. Sullivan as Public Administra-
tor, it is held that Mr.. Sullivan, as the law
full custodian of the estate, is responsible for
its safe keeping, and that he must make
good loss which occurred through the fail
ure of bank, even though it was the bank
in which the deceased person had himself
placed his money. If this involves simply
the point of the safe keeping of the money
there is no doubt that it was left in very
unsafe place; but if the question should
arise as to how q public officer is to
know that IN institution like the
Third Avenue Savings Bank is unsafe
the responsibility will fall upon the
shoulders of Governor Tiden rather than
upon those of Mr.. Sullivan. If Mr.. Sulli-
van inquired to ascertain whether that in
stitution was safe he found sworn reports
which must have given him the highest
opinion of its condition. How could he
know that they were perjuries? If he went
further he found that these reports were ac-
cepted by Governor Tilden's Bank Superin-
tendent, and, though that officer knew the
bank to be in a bad way, how could Mr.. Sui
livan know Of what the officer knew except
by the documentary evidence which made
it appear all right?

THE WEATHER.--Clcar and cold weather has
succeeded the warmth and cloudiness that pre-
vailed during the past few days along the Allan
tic coast from Portland to Norfolk, Va. When
the storm centre of Monday moved into the
British provinces it quickly followed by u
rapid increase of pressure. This high area had
moved from the northwest toward Tennessee
Thence it crossed the mountains and passed in
northcasterly direction into Vermont and Maine
where it was central last evening. The western
depression has descended from Dakota to the
lower Missouri Valley, where it now forms the
centre of large area of light snowfall, extend
ing from Cheyenne to Lake Huron. AS it
advances to-day through the Ohio Valley its
influence on our local weather will be marked
BY increasing coudncss, slightly rising tenn
pcraturc, possibly followed by light snow. In
the South and West generally clear or partly
cloudy weather prevails, but will change to
cloudy, with snow and ran to-day, to be followed
again by cold and clear weather. The morn
ing cold in the West, North and along the st.
Lawrence Valley has been very severe. festcr-
day the temperature at Fort Garry was recorded
st IS degrees below zero At Nashville, Tenn,
4 degrees below. at Cincinnati 4 below, and at
Montreal, Canada, IL degrees below zero. The
temperature at New Orleans was only % de-
zses and at Mobile only 70 above zero.

CAPTAIN EADs, engineer of the Mississippi
River improvement at South Pass, has accom-
plished the first stage of his undertaking by
deepening the channel through the bar to twenty
feet and for a width of two hundred feet The
success which has attended this important work
reflects great credit Captain Eads and en-
courages the hope he entertains of securing
. channel thirty feet deep for the largest
vessels. With such channel New Orleans
will take her place among the chief commercial
ports of the United States, and 70 new era of
prosperity opens for the Mississippi Valley The
other passes will naturally suffer, as the main
volume of the river water is directed through
the South Pass and we may therefore look for
Important changes in their condition which will
eventually lead to their oblitcration as navigabe
channels. This improvement gives New Orleans
D magnificent outlet to the sea; but it also
renders the operation of bIockading the Mis-
sissippi mouth by hostile fleet much easier than
formerly.

Tho Contempt Cases.

Subpnnaes were issued yesterday for
bringing Mr.. Orton before the House and
Mr.. Runyon before the Senate to answer
charges of contempt. The propriety of this
action in the case Of Mr.. Runyon will not
be questioned. Either house of Congress
has power to summon witnesses and compel
them to testify or punish them if they
refuse We know Of no reason why this
rule should not be vigorously enforced
in the case of Mr.. Runyon. The
case of Mr.. Orton stands on somewhat
different ground. He is required not merely
to give testimony, but to deliver up the
original copies of kilograms. These tele-
grams are not in the custody of Mr.. Orton,
but of the Associated Press Company. Mr..
Orton is only thet servant. having no au-
thority beyond what they choose to give
him. If Congress thought it necessary to
arrest anybody tor the non-production OF
kilograms it should have been the officers
who are really responsible, and not a servant
who has no power to act against their direc-
tions.

The Insurance and Bank Depart.

The case Of the Continental Life Insur-
ance Company was before the courts at
Albany yesterday, and an Investigation into
the affairs of the company was ordered. The
proceedings serve to further illustrate the
worthlessness Of the Insurance Department
means of protecting the interests of the
public and enforcing compliance with the
laws. The Continental's official statement
ought aaany ime within the past few years
to have satisfied an efficient superintendent
that the company needed investigation, and
an investigation capably and faithfully
made must have led to the winding up of
the institution under the authority of the
department. Instead of this the company
continued it's business until it's managers
were prepared to close its doors, announce
its bankruptcy and select its receiver. In
this we have only repetition in the Insur-
ance Department of the suspicious action of
the Bank Department in the case of the
Third Avenue and other bankrupt savings
banks, which for some reason were allowed
to close their doors at their own time and
then to make choice of their receivers and
shnt out investigation into their rascalities.
1t is Governor Robinson's duty to insist
upon an immediate reform in these two i'm
portnnt departments He should send in
to the Senate, without any delay, the names
of two unexceptionable persons for superin-
tendents of banks and insurance. Both
places are vacant. Mr.. Ellis, whose incom-
potency and neglect of duty, to use the mild
est terms, are notorious, holds over until his
successor is appointed in the Bank Depart
ment. The Insurance Department is with
out head, Mr. Chapman having resigned
year ago. If tho republican Senate refuses
to confirm the nominees the Governor
should at once suspend Mr.. Ellis and the
acting head of the Insurance Departments and
have them tried on charges of neglect of
duty. 1t is crime against the people to
suffer these departments to remain under
their present management, and the Gov
ernor should do his duty in the matter and
leave the responsibility at the door of the
Senate.

TELEGRAPHIO.
DEATH OF SENATOR MORTON.

DEATH OF SENATOR MORTON.
INDIANAPOLIS, November L.
Senator Morton died at five-t thirty
this evening. About noon Mrs.
Morton and her sons by her request
were left alone with the Senator for
about an hour. Before FIVE O'Clock
it became evident that he had enter
ed upon his last hour on earth. He
had rested the greater part of the
day in a half lying and a half sitting
position. AS he grew weaker, the
supporting pillows were withdrawn,
so that he lay prone upon the bed.
The silence in the room was unbrok-
EN- except by AN occasional question to
the dying man. Once when the SEN
ator exclaimed, 81 ain dying" his
sister.in-law, Mrs. Holloway, inquir-
ed "You are not afraid to die, Oil
ver?" He indicated "Nu," by
swaying his head. Soon after a sim
liar exclamation, question and an
sWer passed between him and DR..
Thompson. Atten minutes past five
o'clock he exclaimed 81 am dying
i am worn out" and these were
his last words.
From this on it was difficult to dis
cover that life remained. On the
Doctors announcement, "he is 60
ing" the gaze Of his wife and sons
became fixed on the face of the hus.
band and father, with now and then
a piteous look Of inquiry toward the
doctor, until his further announce
ment, sit is over" The widow
