Horse Railroad Tactics.

The Sixth Avenue Railroad Company seem
to care as little for the decisions of the high
est courts as they do for the interests of the
olists that the Court Of Appeals has de-
clared valid in every respect the Gilbert
charter in all its parts, as well as the work
of the Rapid Transit Commission, just as
it does not matter to them how greatly they
injure the city by their opposition to the
Improvement most vitality necessary to its
welfare and growth.
The effort Of the horse car companies to
frighten the property owners along the line
of the Gilbert road ought to be understood.
1t is simply an attempt to use the owners OF
real estate as buffer to stand between the
horse car monopolists and the wishes and
demands OF the public. The real and per-
sistent opponents Of rapid transit know
very we'll that if they appeared prominently
and gave the reasons accurately for their
opposition the public would lose patience
with them. The plan of the horse car men
now seems to be to force the Gilbert
Company to build their road on arches
across the avenue, a plan which was aban-
doned because 1t was seen that the present
plan was preferred by the storekeepers and
property owners. Under the decision OF
the Court OF Appeals the Gilbert Company
may use either plan of construction it
wishes to use that which the property
owners prefer but the horse car companies
are understood to object to that Why ?
Well, they object to any rapid transit road
whatever, and hence it is useless to try to
please them.

PuInit Tupica To-day.

As indicative of the purpose OF Mr.. Hep
worth, on entering to-day upon his fall and
winter campaign, he will prepare work for
his church and illustrate the value of an
honest life by the many examples of dis.
hon, st ones which have come to light while
he travelled in Europe. Aquestion A OF man.
hood will be raised by Mr. Pullman and
the value of Christian manhood be shown
by Mr.. Rowell. Recent Developments seem
to indicate very little difference between
the manhood of Christians and heathens.
Nevertheless, as DIR. Wescott will make
clear, it is not vain thing to serve God
even God manifest in the fesh.-for, as Mr..
Hull will prove, the Christian has an en-
during home, and for him, as for all other
men. there is what Mr. Lloyd calls law
of progress Baaam's self-deceit, which
DIR. Rowland will analyze to-day, has
found its counterpart in many other false
prophets since his time, and the inquisitive
man has got himself into trouble many
time before to-day, when Mr.. Hatfield will
take him in hand. The watchword of
Christian gallantry will be given to-day by
Mr.. Moment, and call be made on sleepy
world to awake. The king who fell into
bad company will be recovered by Mr.. Fay
lor and the plague spots OF this city be ex-
nosed by Mr.. Martyr. Withered right hands
will be restored by Mr.. Davis. Sabbatarian-

Tweed's story Contin ued. i.

The examination Of Mr.. Tweed yesterday
before the Aldermanic committee had about
the weakest and most unsatisfactory result
of any of the series. Not single point was
drawn out which is of the slightest public
interest, which can in any way be made
available to recover money dishonesty
taken from the city, or which is likely to
aid in driving corrupt men from power.
The time was mainly occupied in af-
fording Mr.. Tweed an opportunity
to reiterate the charges heretofore made
which have been denied by those who
were implicated by them, and any at
tempt to elicit new facts was met by dis
turbance Of the harmony of the committee.
Mr. Cole, the Assistant Corporation Counsel,
who is conducting the examination on the
part of the committee, was guilty of On act of
gross impropriety in interfering to prevent
Alderman Cowing from asking quections of
Tweed as to parties other than those he had
named as being interested in the Ring cor
ruptions, and his singularly indiscreet con-
duct will not tend to ostrengthenpublic conf
dence in the sufliciency of the investigation.
! Mr.. Tweed produced check for four
thousand dollars indorsed by the president
and secretary Of the Albany Argus Printing
Company, which was not in any way evi-
dence of any dishonest transaction, and he
showed letters from individuals none of
which contained a word Of public interest.
1t is only just to the writer's to remember
that these letters were written when Tweed
was at the head of an influential po-
litical organization and before he was
known to be thief He reiter-
ated his story of the Brooklyn Bridge
| transactions, which have got TO be stale,
and which may be summed up in the asser
ton that he got sixty-tve thousand dollars
out of the bridge trustees as the price of
inducing the New York Common Council to
pass the appropriation resolution. This
really comprised the whole Of yesterdays
farcical examination. But Mr.. Tweed made
public part of his original confession,
which was sent to the Attorney General for
the purpose of showing that he offered to
assist in every way as witness in the pros
ecution of the Ring suits. The people
have not yet had an opportunity to judge
how much the proffered testimony was
worth

New Peril 10 the Constwise
Trade.

Everybody knows that Congress, under
the constitution. has power to regulate
commerce between the States, and it has
power, therefore, to put summary stop to
the assemblage Of such huge brass bands rs
that which on Friday gathered at Borden
town, in New Jersey, and there and then,
with malice aforethought, blew up a terrible
trous effects were felt along great part OF
our coast TO regulate" is well under
stood by constitutional lawyers to mean or
include ''protoct, and what more necessary
or beneficial work can Congress do than
to protect our merchant shipping from
abnormal gales? 1t is no joke for one hun
drcd and forty-five unfortunate lady passcn-
gers to be blown ashore on Long Island by
a reckless brass band in Southern New Jer-
sey If seagoing persons, who are already
exposed to many dangers, are to suffer here
after this new peril Of brass bands we shall
never be able to man n navy or to create q
corps of seamen in fact, our coast would
soon be marked extra hazardous on the
books Of insurance companies, and even the
navigation Of the noble Hudson would repel
all but the most adventurous OF our popu-
lation.
Before Congress attacks the Presidents
policy; before it attempts to increase or de-
crease the army; before it considers even
the smallest subsidy bill even before the
House elects Randall or Cox, or Sayler or
Goode, or Gibson, or Garfield, Speaker. and
before the Senate admits Spofford or elnts
Patterson, We trust Congress will 80 far
regulate commerce as to sternly prohibit
the simultaneous blowing of more than
three brass bands at any given place within
five hundred statute miles OF any point on
our coast How can we ever expect that
great revival of commerce which everybody
is talking about ii this kind OF thing is to
go on?

period, though with different instrument
Men of great executive capacity and aspir-
ing natures always find or make opportuni-
ties, and they pursue the methods which
are suited to their epoch.
1t is always unfortunate for man to
possess the cast of talents which should
give him ascendancy over the minds of his
contemporaries ii adverse circumstances or
his own modesty prevents him from making
the best use of them. There is public man
in this city whose modesty has always stood
in his way; a man whose broad face is less
large than his great heart man whose
every instinct is devotion to his kind, who
always stands ready to sacrifice himself for
his friends or his country and it is sad to
think that this generous, devoted, unasplr-
ing patriot shrinks with sensitive modesty
from having his merits known. OF course
this description can apply to no other man
than Mr. Kelly, whose unassuming charac-
ter and freedom from overbearing self-asser-
ton have always been SO remarkable. We
trust he will no longer be pleased to make
such secret Of his admirable qualities
He has now q great opportunity to de-
velop his ideas. We do not wish to
offend this gentleman's modesty; but
Mr.. Kelly is thought by his admirers to
be great man, and the time has now come
for him to prove whether he is or not. His
victory at Albany has given him immense
prestige and added to his influence, and we
wait to see how he will bear himself with
these 'blushing honors thick upon him."
If, just for change, he would for once IN
his life be just little dictatorial he might
succeed better than some of his predecessors
have done in that r6le. He has II great ad-
vantage in his name; it is plain Kelly and
not O'Kelly, which is at once proof of his
modesty and of his independence in an
Irish town like New York, and also q con-
cession to such of us as have the mis-
fortune to be natives or Germanized. This
is a mark of consideration which we must
acknowledge with respectful thanks.

A Rebellion In Texas.

Our special dispatches from Texas TINS
morning illustrate the infammable condi-
ton of affairs along the Mexican border.
The towns of San Elizario and Isletto, in FL
Paso county, are in the hands Of an armed
mob of four hundred Mexicans, who have
imprisoned and manacled judge and other
officials. In the excited condition Of affairs
it is thought that it would require but little
to bring about wholesale massacre OF the
American residents, who are SO few in num-
Der as to have no chance in contend
ing against these rebels on small
scale. The actors in this disgrace
full riot are American citizens, OF Mexi-
can birth or descent, but wholly anti
American in sentiment. AS the leopard
does not quickly change his spots these
observation-disclosures, when they have little
difficulty among themselves, must needs
resort to the bad old Mexican methods for
regulating it. Hence a quarrel between two
men. one Of whom is obnoxious to the Mex
ican inhabitants, is made the pretext for a
rebellion. We have no doubt that some OF
the rebels pronounced" in the Mexican
fashion before starting their lawless enter
prise; but, whether or no, their course
since has proved that they have not forgot
ten any Of the bad old Mexican traditions.
Troops have been sent to the scene Of dis
turbance by General Sheridan's orders, and
we hope to see the actors in and promoters
Of the Ell Paso rebellion dealt with promptly
and effectually, after the American manner.
