affair, and we have no purpose to inter
fere. But we do think it proper
that the people Of the North. who
have certain fixed ideas regarding po-
litical tolerance and freedom of OPINION
should know all the methods by which the
Democratic party of the South is able to con-
solIdatc that whole section so as to
secure, in conjunction with minority III

country. Intolerance of this sort cannot be
reached. 1t is one of the glories of onr sys-

veil from it, and LET the country, after seeing
its workings, vote intrlligcntly upon it.

THE cONIROLLERS REPORT.

Controller Olcott's report is quite as urgent
rs that of Auditor Schuyler in pressing the
canal question upon the attention OF the
Legislature though the opinions of the latter
as to methods are not adopted. Indeed, the
Controllers report may justly be criticised for
n failure 10 suggest remedies after n careful
and elaborate statement OF the existing evils
in our transportation system. The Control
Ter shows at length the effect OF railroad dlS-
examinations upon the commerce OF New
York. and then declares that there must be Il
speedy end to them that stop must be put
to special rates, and to cXorbltant port ana
terminal CHARGES. But he gives no hint OF Il
plan whereby these abuses can he reformed,
except to SAY, with rather mysterious ar,
that if they are prolonged, the Legislature
Twill soon be asked to use the power OF the
state to end them"
There are facts enough however, in Mr..
Olcott's report, showing the effect which the
water route has already had in reducing the
cost of transportation, to give strong support
TO Mr. SchuvcI's plea for fire." canal. Ihrrc
is striking fact gwen also, respecting the
working of the railroad compact, which proves
how malien its influence is upon the trade OF
tins port. New-York had, in the last
eleven months of 1877, $500 per cent of the
total receipts at the ioU great ports; during
the same period in 1873, j7l2 per cent. Or, III
