When Mr.. ALvoRD was elected Speaker
instead Of Mr.. SLOAN, the railroad corpora
tions of the State supposed they had got
control Of the Assembly; and when the
Speaker subsequently announced the stand
ing Committee on Railroads they seemed to
feel sure that they had fastened their grip
upon the very throat of that important
branch of the Legislature. But recent
contest as 10 the disposition Of several bills
relating to railroads shows that in this
matter, as well as In others, the SLOAN men
arc too numerous and too skilful FOX the
ALyoRD men.
1t becomes more and more evident, week
by week, that though the ALvoRD wing Of
the party were able to elevate him TO the
highest and most deliberately carved chair
OF the new Capitol, their old prestige OF
leadership is gone ALvoRD won the gave,
but lost the Assembly.
There will be plenty Of opportunities for
the better portion of the Republicans in the
Legislature to make themselves felt before
the close OF the session; and they should
not waste them. The Assembly is doing
pretty well. Is it not time for certain Re-
publicaus in the Senate 10 show signs of in
dependence A manly refusal to vince under
the lash Of the two dominecrng leaders
would result in an open revolt against their
dictatiOn; and the Senate might then find
itself in accord with the Assembly in many
measures beneficial 10 the people, irespec-
tive OF party.

The Filthy Streets.

The streets Of this city are filthy. Many
of them are very filthy. Whether or no
they are more SO than is usual at this sea-
son Of tho year is doubtful; but what is
certain is that they are not such as tho
streets OF great commercial city ought
to be-
Whose is the fault That is a matter to
be inquired into. The Police Commissioners
are charged with the duty Of keeping the
streets clean, yet at the same time great OBJ
staclcs are placed IN their way They have
no adequate means Of disposing Of the
refuse which constantly accumulates. II
they carry it out into the Sound, they are
threatened with indictment in Queens
County and in Westminster. II they take it
down bcyRld Staten Island, a similar danger
starcs them in the face there, and a contn-
ual and, we dare say, justiflable cutlery is
maintained against filling up the harbor by
casting such rubbish into IL. Probably the
only efficient manner Of dlsposing of the
great mass Of this stun is to burn it; and
propositions in this direction have been
made, but not acted upon.
II the Police Commissioners are guilty in
this matter If they have not done their
duty, aud have allowed tho streets to be-
come dirty when they had the means Of
keeping them clean, they ought to be dealt
with. Perhaps some of them may be guilty,
and others innocent, for We know that there
have been notorious instances when the
Board has been 50 divided on important
QUESTIONS that II could do nothing. This.
however, is something that should be ascer-
tanned by a regular inquiry directed toward
bringing out the truth, and conducted
according TO all tho rules Of law and justice.
Better have dirty streets than TO have tho
fundamental rights of citizens ovorthrQNn
and destroyed by q silly and tygannical
Mayor.

TIE Peculiar History Of Boys suit Agaiust
HnilrOnd Company.

John Day, n scventccn-years old boy, re-
covered n verdict Of 100000 against the Brook
Ign City Railroad Company yesterday after
noon in the Kings County Supreme Court. and
ms there is no appeal from the verdict owing to
the peculiar history OF the case. the judgment
must be paid forthwith. On July 5. 1874. the
lads mother sent him to the pump in Myrtle
avenue n little below Canton street. for n
can Of water and MS he was about to re-
turn tho driver OF Greenpolnt and Myr-
tie avenue car. which was passing. afked
Day for drink. Tho horses were walking,
and Day Jumped on the front platform and
gave the driver some water. AS tho driver
handed back the can he told Day to hurry OF
the car. and paid no attention to tho boys re-
quest TO please stop the car. The driver touch
ed the horses with his whip, and they started to
70 faster. Young Day caught his right foot In
the step. and was thrown and dragged, and
then tho wheel ran over him. and crushed his
leg SO that it had to DO 9mDutaied. The boy
was fifteen months in the hospital.
The case was first tried before Judge Pratt on
Jan. 10. 1877, and he nonsuitcd the plaintiff
then on the ground that the boy was not on tho
fully there. the driver having no authority to
invite him on the car as he did. The plaintiff
appealed 20 the General Term Of the Supreme
Court, and Judge Dykman, in M opinion re-
vcrslng Judge Prati's order. held that II was
duty that he should eat, drink and be clothed
At the time In question the driver was thirsty.
and the plaintiff got on the car TO give him
wuter to drink, at his request. As the driver
might lawfully ask the boy to do that. 1t followed
that the plaintiff was rightluly on the car, The
request was not an act OF wantonness or malice
which would cxcupnte the defendant. II was
not even beyond the scope of his employment;
and the Court further held that II was not neccs-
sary to the liability Of the defendant that the re-
lation Of carrier and passenger should exist
The case was then taken to the Court OF Ap-
peals 10y the company under q stipulation that
IL tho order Of the General Term granting n
new trial was affirmed judgment absolute
should be rendered against them. The COM
panys lawyers were sure OF the validity Of their
order Tor n n"w triai md if oniv r@mained Tor

ROME, Italy, Feb. 25.-As no carnival sea-
son would bc complete without its special story

can colony Of Rome especially. The scandal af-
fccts the American Consulate at Rome. Charges

Washington for having been found in n
state of intoXicatlOn in ono OF the streets

marked here. en- pdsSdtf, that the offence
Of ntoXication in the public streets is one OF the

animation was. however. proceeded with. and

Great efforts have been made to suppress
these facts. but Of no avail. Patriotic speeches
have been tried. with what effect has yet to be

nerves OF some Of the pious people OF tue
American colony have b,eu shocked. and the

THE JKsUIrs IN FRINGE.
The Way In which the Colleges aud Teachers
of the Order 60 he Dealt with.

LONDON, March Gothic preface Of NJ.
Jules Fcrrys Education bill. brought forward
in the Chamber Of Deputies. says that according
to the existing law foreigners are not allowed to
teach In France. and declares that the same ex-
clusion should apply to an order essentially
foreign by the character OF It's doctrines. nature
and aim. and its statutes. The Paris CORE
spondent OF the Times remarks that this pas
sage Of course refers to the Jesuits who have
tweniy-sevcn colleges in France, with si5
teachers.
Twenty-slx other communities. having sixty
one establishments and .Os9 teachers, are also
unrccogntzcd 10y the state. and they will conse-
guently be deprived by the lil Of the right Of
teaching. II Is presumed that II the bill passes
tho disqualified orders will transfer their es-
Establishments 10 those recognized by law. But
there will be bitter struggle before tho clause
becomes law.
PARIS. March 20.-Many OF the moderate Re-
publican papers. including the Constitutional.

Aner the Election.

Justice to certain Southern Democrats who
held the fate Of the Speakership In their
hands, requires IL to be said that they acted
with decision and sagacity worthy Of high
praise all through the exciting contest, and
that their action fairly entities them TO pub
lie confidence. With popular leader like
Mr.. BLACKBURN, and strong appeals to sec
tlonal spirit and pride, much moral courage
was needed to stand up against the pressure
OF local sentiment. Yet this Is what was
done by conspicuous eX-Confedcratcs like
ATKINS, SCALES, WHIrTmoRNE. DAVIS,
BLoUNT, VANCE Cook, SINGLETON, MONEY,
and others.
Hard. and soft, and mixed money men like
MORRISON, Ewing MCMAHON, SPRINGER,
and others. with real or imaginary gricis to
redress, combined, without any bond Of
union but personal feeling. to defeat RAN
DALI, and they chose BLACKBURN as the
best person to lead the fight, putting it ON
the ground OF his being n Southern man.
because they fancicd this would make their
movement more effective.
Thus the anomaly was presented Of lead
ing Democrats from the North opposing n
Northern candidate for Speaker, and leading
Democrats from the South, who had all
taken part in the civil war, opposing gal
liant cX-Confcdcrate officer. or course
defeat in such case leaves stings behind
IT, and but few have the manly spirit of
Mr.. BLACKBURN to accept the situation as
n ma ority of the party made it, and to bury
out Of sight gricfs with which the public
will have but little sympathy. Who cares,
among tho forty-ive millions, whether
EWING or MORRISON. or Cox, or SPRINGER,
or MCMAHON is chairman Of one commit
tee or another, or not chairman at all
II instead Of nursing resentments, Of en-
couraging detection, and OF gratifying their
adversaries with paroxysms of personal jeal-
ousy, the leaders OF the defeated combina-
tion will join hands with their successful
rivals to promote wise legislation, they may
render genuine public service, and de-
serve absolutlon for tho blunder OF trying
to put the Speakcrship in peril, and to throw
away the Presidential election long in ad-
vance Of the struggle. The Democratic ma
jority in the House is too small to be trned
with, or to be sacrificed TO individual con-
sideratons. Moreover, two members OF 1t
are seriously iii in health.
Looking, therefore, to the cause which has
convened Congress, and to the redemption
of the pledges made in behalf OF reform and
retrenchment, 1t is OF the utmost Importance
that the majority should be soidified II OK
ecutive dlctation is 10 be successfully re-
sisted and II there be n sincere purpose TO
carry out the promises made at st. Louis in
1876, and repeated since then in different
forms. Mr.. BLACKBURN has set n crcditable
example, which others may wisely follow.
