Earl Beaconsfields assertion that the Ro-
man motto, emporium ct Liberals" is one on
which his Ministry will always act, must
be construed by the way in which it has al
ways acted. So interpreted, by the selfish
conduct of England in every quarter of the
globe, there can be no doubt that it reads,
"The Empire first and liberty afterward"-
a collocation of ideas which makes the
phrase ''words of delusion and folly" even
more than that which Daniel Webster
styled so in his reply to Hayne. The great
est of the Roman historians framed o maxim
which applies aptly to Earl Beaconsfeld's
real conception of the relations of empire
to liberty. Emporium JtlaGtio acqlisitun

boar. But the Commissioners have refused
to consent to the use of steamer for THIS
purpose. They have the necessary author
ity to do this. They may annul the license
of any pilot not attached 'to boat APP
proved OF by the Board" and are thus
judges of the fitness of boats. Doubt
less they have taken this action
upon the ground that the boat thus
introduced is to be made the basis of a new
system OF employment of pilots in the in
terests of the large steamship companies.
That is entirely different subject from
the simple introduction of steam, and one
that, if the story is true, will afford fair
ground OF action on the part of the Com
missioners whose duty it is to watch over
our commercial welfare with especial refer
ence to this point.

Within a few days one of the pilot boats
regularly on duty at this port is to be re-
placed by steamer; and though this fact is
revolutionary one in its way we do not
see that there is any fair ground of objec-
ton to this sort of revolution in the nine
teenth century. Pilot boats are replaced
from time to time as they get old or unsca-
worthy--for these or any other satisfac-
tory reasons-by boats more to the mind
of those who sail them, and this
is substitution of that nature. AS to the
fact that the substituted boat is a steamer the
only wonder is that that sort of substitution
was not made years ago. On these simple
facts we do not see that the case presents
any great puzzle for the Pilot Commits
sioners, and we suppose these facts include
all that is before them in regard 10 this

The seventh Regiment Fair.

On Monday next the Seventh regiment
fair, for the purpose of raising funds to pay
off the debt contracted in building the new
armory, will be opened with interesting
ceremonies, in which it is believed President
Hayes will take part. The we'll wishers of
this finely disciplined New York militia
regiment, including. as they do. the entire
population, will then have an opportunityto
testify to their appreciation in substantial
way. Admirable as has been and is the
organization of this pet regiment, and de-
lighted as our citizens are to gather in
crowds to witness the soldierly neatness of
its equipments, the swing with which it
marches and the precision Of its evolutions,
there is one patriotic feature in the history
of the Seventh which must not be forgot
ten. It has often been said that during the
late civil war it was not engaged in any
battle, but if not fighting integer it
sent more trained and skilled officers to the
front in command of other bodies of
troops than any other militia regiment in
the Union. Hence it's roll of honor takes
unique proportions, and it is not too much
to say that in its records will be found
enough commissioned officers who made
their mark in battle to have Differed full
score of regiments. This is high claim
to recognition, and should be remembered
in addition to the other claims put
forward on behalf Of the Seventh.
Bearing all in mind, we have full
confidence that when the doors of
the new armory on Lexington avenue
at Sixty-sixth street are thrown open next
Monday New York will be there impatient
to help the gallant boys to a debt-free
home. What cunning devices for the
extraction of the desired dollars are in
preparation, what tempting ways the fancy
fair articles will be festooned, what galaxy
of beauty and fashion will preside at the
tables to bid the money dance out of even
tightly closed pockets, SO that its mere me-
tallic sheen may match itself against the
glitter of bewitching eyes, we do not pur-
pose stating here. The details will be duly
revealed and the city will respond.

The Elevated Railroad Decision.

Mr.. Rufus Story. owner of the warehouses
Nos. and Front street, sued more than
two years ago for an injunction by the
New York Elevated Railroad Company
from building their road opposite his
premises. The case was argued before the
late Judge Robinson, who decided against
the complainant Mr.. Story appealed, and
the case has been decided by the full bench
of Common Pleas affirming the judgment
rendered in October, 1877.
Mr.. Story rested his case upon the mar
row ground that in purchasing his prop
erty he acquired the right of ownership to
the middle Of the street, subject only to its
use for ordinary street purposes. He
claimed that as he has right to excavate
vaults under the street to it's middle line,
SO he has an equal right to the
space above, except that part Of it
which is necessary for the passage of
vehicles. The Court decides against this
claim, holding that the street is property
held by the city in trust for public uses,
and that no adjacent owner has any claim
TO compensation LOT o use Wn1cn Is autnOr-
lied by the Legislature with the consent of
the city for general advantage. The owner
has no other rights in the street than
the common right of travel and pas
sage possessed by every other citizen.
Judge Van Brunt, who concurs in
this decision, wrote a separate opinion
intimating that had the suit been brought
on other grounds it ought to have been
successful. While he comedies that Mr..
Story did not purchase any part of the
street he maintains that no court has yet
made any decision inconsistent with a
claim that the buyer of property on a
street line purchases right to light
and air. But the decisions have thus
far been SO uniformly in favor of
the roads in every suit TINT we
fear nobody will be encouraged by
Judge Van Brunts view to incur the risk
of heavy costs by bringing suit on the
basis which he suggests. If some thirty or
forty owners would share the expense Of
suit to be brought by one of their number
to test his right to eight and air." it
might be found whether there is a pene-
trable joint in the legal armor of the roads.

russian Opinion ON England.

National irritation, as exhibited in news
paper articles, seems to have gone very far
in Russia Under the provocation of the
recent English utterances with regard to
Turkey. Declarations are made as to what
act on the part OF England would be re-
garded as a casus beii by Russia; us to the
likelihood of resistance on the part OF
Russia if England should undertake to
enforce her threats Of coercion, and
even as to the desirability of a
war in Europe rather than in Asia.
Imaginations must be somewhat heated
when the various aspects of possible
hostility are so freely presented for public
consideration. 1t is point of some inter-
est, moreover. that the Russian government,
which has just overhauled the press for its
too free handling of the foreign relations Of
the Empire, does not specifically object to
these bellicose forecasts. On the contrary,
the same communication which for
bids discussion of the relations of
Russia with France. Germany and Aus
tria permits it as to those with England.
1t can scarcely be thought strange that
ILuSlAuu pIOpoblt1OA " lOACC W
measures the adoption of certain reforms in
Turkey should excite the Russians when it is
remembered how England always received
analogous propositions in the days when
they were an element of public discussion
in Russia. In those days Turkey was
sacred in the eyes of England. 1t was for
hidden to touch her.. Her integrity was
guaranteed by general treaties. Her integ-
rity is just as positively guaranteed now,
yet England seems to assume divine
right to set aside any guarantees that are
inconvenient from British point of view.
Guarantees were good to restrain Russia;
they must not be counted as against Eng
land That is the tone in which the British
Foreign Office seems to reason on this
point; and it would be strange enough if
the Russians did not violently object to the
pretension that England is free to do what
was not permitted to Russia.

1t is asserted again that the s.L" railroad
directors are infexibly opposed to an ex-
tension of the low fare hours morning and
evening; that they mean to makSno change
whatever from their present system. We
are sorry for it, for their sake no less than
for the sake of the public. If this is their
final determination it insures renewal of
the attempt to legislate at Albany, which
found such favor there last winter when q
bill for uniform reduction of the fares TO
five cents was passed by the Assembly and
smothered in the Railroad Committee OF
the Senate. 1t is doubtful whether any
party in interest will be benefited by trans
ferring this subject to the Legislature and
the lobby, but certainly the IL" railroad
companies cannot be. If they can avoid
such recourse by moderate and timely con-
cessions to the public desires 1t is highly
polite for them to do 80. Certain
facts are undeniable, and among them
these:--First, that it is inequitable to
charge the same rate of fare for transporta-
rate which is practically capable of SUBJ
division, and ten cents is such rate; and
second, that travel is SO concentrated into
the present five cent hours, morning and
evening, that during portion of them the
east side road especially is incapable of
serving the public with proper comfort 1t
is an immensely valuable franchise which
the people have granted to the IL" railroad
companies, and there should be correspond
ing accommodation. If the system pursued
by the railroad managers needs to be
amended for the public safety and con.
venience. SO as to prevent the overlooking

we have an amount of water front equal to
that of any other port, and all this In adj
dition to the circuitous water front Of the
island. For the purposes OF local taxation
we naturally wish to gather as much
with reference to the broader question
of the commercial greatness of this
favored site all these clustering cities
are one. They oil bring trade
to this harbor; they all supply customers
to the merchants of New York they all
add to the vast mass of foreign and domes-
tic commerce of which this is the centre,
and all tend to maintain and strengthen
the supremacy of these surrounding waters
in the amount of shipping which gives
life and decoration to their surface.
No other great city has such advantages
for withstanding the shock of foreign
wars. If our harbor were blockaded by q
hostile feet we should still have access to
the ocean through the Sound. Nature has
done for us all that nature can do for any
site of commerce; the government is doing
all we can reasonably ask in removing the few
distractions; it only remains for our citi-
zens to exercise foresight, energy and pub
lie spirit to make New York the chosen
centre and chief seat of commerce for all
trading nations.
