The Board of Aldermen. being in its last
DAYS and the jobbers being therefore anxious
20 turn all the honest pennies in their reach'
has nightly distinguished itself. A scheme
for new horse railroad. to occupy some OF
our most crowded and important down-toWh
streets, was introduced in the Board yester-
day, aud though then seen for the nrst
time, was actually forced through. under the
previous questiOu. and in spite OF all the
efforts of an honest and intelligent minority.
The road is designed to be, in substance, n
oross-town road through Chambers-st, which
is too crowded to admit any such addition 10
its traffic. Portions of other crowded ARD
important streets are also to be taken. Inc
indecent haste with which the project was
rushed through shows clearly enough IT'S
character and the motives of the men VINO
support it. Ii is far from rcassurlng, besides
to know that the fifteen votes which were sol'dy
massed in favor of the bill yesterday will be
sufficient, if these men have the courage to
go ON. to override the Mayors inevitable veto.
There have been few holder jobs than TINS III
the recent history of the city. No attempt
has been made to create an appearance OF
public sentiment in behalf OF such ROAD; no
certificate is ON file in the County CLERK
Office: not even the men who voted Tor the
measure conld give much information about
It, How strange then that just fifteen Alder
men should have instantly decided. upon lis
introduction. that this was truly noble bill !!
BY one of the whirligigs of politics, many OF
the men who a year or two ago were ciamorous
for sweeping changes in finance laws are now
opposed to any new legislation, and many OF
the men who declared then that the
highest interests of the country required
that there should be no change now insist
upon important legislation. To be sure
their demand is really for n change back to
the laws as they were before, with respect to
the coinage of silver dollars in particular.
But it is a little pulling to find the
silver men borrowing the cry with
which the silver crusade was resisted
-" Let we'll enough alone" From two we'll
known Western Republicans protests came
yesterday against the financial legislation pro-
posed by Secretary Sherman. Nh. Price, OF
Iowa. offered a resolution recting the success
of resumption as shown by eleven months OF
trial, the ability of the country to keep III
circulation at par with coin, the existing cur
rency of United States notes, and tue pros
perty of the country under the operation
of these agencies in connection with the
coinage of silver dollars The resolution
therefore demands that there shall be no
change in existing financial legislation. Mr..
Fort, of Illinois, offered "a resolution directly
discOuntenancing any attempt to Withdraw the
legal-tender quality from the United States
notes. Senator Carpenter also filed pro-
test against Secretary Sherman's recommend
ations. Our Washington dispatches indicate
that all of these resolutions excite favorable

There can be no surer way to make New-York a

An attempt was made yesterday in the
House of Representatives to push forward a
Confederate claim. Yesterday was the second
day of the session. This is the Congress
which was to behave itself so sweetly, and
these are the Southern Democrats who intended
to leave every step to the decision of the
Northern members.

The Forty sixth Congress could DO the coun-
try great service by passing the Constitu-
tional Amendment proposed yesterday by
General Harry White, of Pennsylvania, which
limits the scope of appropriation bills to
appropriations, and gives the President the
veto power over any item. This last feature
is one of the modern improvements ~ in
Government. and there is no good reason why
the United States OF all Governments, should
be without 1t any longer.
The Maine dispatches indicate a full deter
mination ON the part Of the Democratic State
officers to persist in their grotesque scheme of
fraud. The application of the Republicans for
permission to see the returns upon Senators
and Representatives has been denied by the
Council upon the extraordinary ground that
inasmuch as the Council has no power to
alter returns, there Is no real necessity
that the Republicans should see them.

which have Just eliminated in declara-

the taxation by Bolivia of the product
OF nitrate deposits held by Chilians in
southern Bolivis. A treaty has existed
between Chill and Bolivia exempting
this property when in the hands of
Chilan subjects from any but municipal
taxation, and it is the iniraction of this

duty which leads to this war. The war
