II is now well enough known that the evil

court martial before which he is arraigncd has
crumbled away. He defended himself by al

General Hazen were true. EyeiJ one of them

There was a hearing before the Assembly
Railroad Committee yesterday upon the
Elevated Railroad bill, and the startling
announcement was made that the New Ork
Road believes itself entitled . the use OF
Nassau-st. without additional legislation.
This, at least, is the statement Of Nj Bliss,
the attorney of the pro- erty-Owners On that
street. The occupants of stores and business
buildings upon Nasslu-st., already so narrow
and crowded that it accommodates its traffic
with great difficulty, will be interested in
this announcement. Broadway seems to be
safe, for the Act Of 1875 bars the company
out of that thoroughfare, md no Legislature
in its senses would dare to authorize the
building of an elevated road upon Broadway
after tho universal protest that has J.. oxen
out at the mere suggestion of such q scheme.
But Nassau-st. is evidently not safe, and the
| public will watch with interest to see ' raj =
done with the bill which is to be intrr ddred
for the special protection of the stree. and
! how Messrs. Seebacher and Calvin behave IN

| calls "the clamOr of the NcW-York news
papers" has had at least one good effect !;
| it has concentrated the attention of good
many citizens OF New-York upon Mr.. See
bacher whose actions will be very carefully
scIutinized from this time forth. 1t v II also
