The Criminal Court still hangs on

ness OF the term. The Grand Jury

arduous labors yet, and are still held

Mr.. Robert Murray, who in getting
off the Maryville train at the bridge
Saturday, 10th inst, fell to the ground,
q distance of over 80 feet, and broke
his left ankle, so that his foot had to
be amputated, has not been doing so

was seemingly more favorable at latest

The Labor Question,

This is one of the Oldest questions known
to political economy. The warfare be-
tween capital and labor has been going on
for the last 1900 years, more or less, and
is still raging. For bad blood take Rosa
dalis, the Great Southern Remedy. War
ranted to cure all scrofulous humors,
eruptions, &C., and cleanse the system of
all impurities. Geo. w. Albers, Whole

The Rich California Banker.

When it became known that one of
the richest California bankers had left
the Pacific Coast and transferred his
base of operations to the New York
Stock Exchange, all the shrewd finan-
cieTs watched his course with keen
interest to see how he would succeed.
The result has emphatically proved
the wealthy bankers sagacity. Be-
sides having a much wider and more
promising field to operate in, he is
known to have been in several stock
combinations that paidimmense prof
its. By the combination method of
operating in stocks Messrs. Lawrence
& Co., Bankers, n. Y, unite orders of
thousands of customers, in different
sums, into one vast capital, and Oper-
ate them as a mighty whole, dividing
profits pro rata among shareholders
every 80 days. Capital in any amount
from $40 to 800, 900 can be used with
great success in these pools, -$25 would
pay 800 profit; $500 would make
SIS, 900 or 10 per cent. on the stock du-
ring the month. Messrs. Lawrence s.
Co.'s new circular (mailed free) gives
" two unerring rules for success" and
full particulars, so that any one can
operate in stocks, and make money.

A Mystery Explained.

ParlOr scene Mrs. Brown, who has
spent the summer among the White

who seems to have searched the whole
mountain side without being able to
find pair of blooming cheeks or an
inch oi healthful skin: Mrs. White,
who has remained at home because
her usbaDd could not afford 10 go, but
whose fresh complexion and bright
eyes seem TO have caught their bloom

you can keep so healthy in this dread

Mountains, go there every summer, In
fact, and can't keep off the doctors
list at that.
Mrs. w. (smiling).-I'l tell you the
whole secret, Mrs. Brown. You re-
member how poorly was last spring,
some days even being confined to my
bed. DR.. - told Mr.. White TO send
me to the mountains, but I knew he
couldn't afford it, and / tried DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It's eff
efcts were so marvellous that [ also
tried his Golden Medical DicOvery, to
cleanse my system. In my opinion,
one bottle of the Prescription and the
Discovery is better than six weeks of
the White Mountains for sick
woman. 1 have only been out of the
city a week during the whole summer;
then my husband and went to Buff
falo and stopped at DR.. Pierce's ID-
valids' and Tourists Hotel. The baths
and mechanical apparatus for treating
patients were alone worth going to
see. Besides, our accom- m odations
were better than we had at Long
Branch last year, and the drives and
scenery are superb. Let me advise you
to use DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion, and try the Invalids' and Tour
lists Hotel next Summer instead of the
White Mountains.

ney-Gcneral, and the Canal Commissioners
In a few cases existing offices have been
abolished, now ones created, and the mode
Of appointment designated.
In some instances this legislation has
even been rather penal In its nature. 1t re-
quires oaths in certain cases contrary To the
general provisions Of the Revised Statutes,
and declares false swearing to DO perjury
where IL would not be 80 regarded accord
ing To ordinary rules OF law. Right in the
middle Of one appropriation bill appears n
section providing that II certain officers do
not report to the Legislature within given
time, 1t shall work n forfeiture OF their
offices. At the end OF another appropriation
bill 1t is declared that II any officer, great or
email, shall draw any more money for his
department than he is entitled to draw mot
under that hill merely, but under any bill,
this shall be sufficient cause for his removal
from Office.
We give these particulars only as spcci-
mems OF general legislation contained in

and Assembly would not stultify them
selves by adopting the absurd and inflated

Hands on Central Pnrki

Matters Of interest to the people OF this
city came up at Albany yesterday. In the
Senate n good bill was passed, and In the
Assembly a bad bill was ordered to a third
reading, after motion to strike out the
enacting clause had been lust--9l 10 -. The
good bill was Senator EccLEsINE's bill for
the conversion Of Tompkins square into a
public park; that is, for putting green grass,
flowers, and fountains precisely where they
will do the most good. The bad bill was
Mr.. LANdBEIN's bill for the conversion of
part OF Central Park into parade ground.
The reasons why this bill should not pass
are as obvious as they are sufficient. They
were forcibly presented yesterday by Mr..
VARNUM and Mr. STRAHAN. They should
have been conclusive. Notwithstanding yes
terday's vote, we refuse to believe that the
Assembly will lend itself to the doing OF SO
great wrong.
Central Park is not so large that we can
spare any part Of it from its rightfu uses
Indeed, It is not large enough-even for the
New York OF to-day. But this present New
York is but a beginning OF the great city
which our children are to see-the New York
OF the future stretching in solid grandeur
from the Battery to Spuyten Duyvel Creek,
and who knows how far beyond
This parade ground project is an entering
wedge. Next we should probably have a
bill for the erection OF an armory In the
vicinity OF the parade ground; and, after
that, something else. The only safe plan is
to make short work Of the entering wedge.

HsfrIs's Absurd Resolution.

HAMILTON HARRIS has brought into .he
State Senate joint resolution calling upon
the Fraudulent President to veto the Army
bill for the alleged reason that it is uncon-
stltutional and revolutionary TO introduce
into an army appropriation bill clauses for
bidding the use OF Federal troops at the
polls on election days. Mr. HARRIS seems
not to have read the Constitution Of the
United States, for If he had he would know
that it does not utter word on this sub
ject, either directly or by implication. He
appears To be equally ignorant OF the Con-
stitution of New York, and Of the uniform
practice OF its Legislature on questions
analogous TO those now pending in Con-
gress; and before committing themselves to
his absurd propositions, we advise the pres
ent Senate and Assembly 10 study the mat
ter for themselves.
The Constitution of New York is more
strict than that Of the United States in re-
gard TO excluding from certain classes OF
bills all topics not germane to their leading
object. We have examined about thirty OF
the larger appropriation bills passed by our
Legislature in the last thirty-fve years for
the purpose Of asccrtaining its practice on
the question in dispute. We find that all
these bills contain what is called general
legislation, much Of which has reference TO
the appropriations in the particular bills,
but some Of which has no relation to those
or TO any other appropriations whatever
This general legislation relates to all the
great interests of the State II affects Its
canals, railroads, prisons, militia, colleges,
common schools, charitable societies, banks,
and insurance companies.
Some Of the general legislation in appro-
priation bills during the period in question
prcscrlbes important duties to be performed
by State officers from the Governor down,
oven including Judges Of the higher courts; ;
and 1t often prohibits executive officers from
doing some acts. while it defines the mode
in which they may perform others. This Is
specially true Of the Comptroller, the Attor-

Thus, Chili's energy has won tho first
move In the campaign, in n complete mas
terry Of the disputed territory. Reinforce
ments have gone forward, and the Chilian
residents and workmen in tho nitrate and
mining districts have also been organized
equipped, and drilled CHILEAN postal regu-
lations. customs regulations, and general
laws have been introduced into Antofogasta
two Gillian newspapers have been founded
military engineers are planning permanent
fortiiicatiOns, and the Chlians evidently
mean tn stay II would seem ~ II the Gov
eminent OF Santiago has resolved to accept
the notification Of the treaty of 1874 which
Bolivia attempted. and to hold by force the
territory which Chill originally claimed.
But the real struggle has only begun. IL
was easy to occupy the nitrate districts,
whose people are mostly CHILEAN, and well
coined the coming of the squadron to Anto-
fogasta by crOwding the beach and the
moles. and by putting out In boats. with
shouts Of VIA Chile But To advance into the
interior beyond the covering fire Of tho fleet
is another matter. More serious still Ia the
attitude OF Peru. Her rivalry with Chilli is
familiar history. She has sent To Iquiquc,
near her southcrly frontier. three powerful
irOnclads, the IIuascar, Manca Capac, and
Independence, and at that point also largo
bodies Of her troops have been concentrated.
Peru has thus far appeared on the scene
only as would-bo mediator. whose offers
have been declined by Chilli; her next atti-
tude may be that OF Bolivla's open ally.
Should the Argentine Republic also cast in
her lot with Bolivia, and Brazil como TO the
rescue Of Chill. the struggle would assume
continental proportions.

There are seven Greenbackers in the
House who have heretofore been active Re
publicans. Fiveof them voted for the Army
bill with tho provision forbidding the use OF
the bayonet Mt the polls The Bourbon Re
publicans, who never learn anything new or
forget anything old, cite this as proof that
these five Grecnbackcrs have no indepen-
dence, but are mere allies OF the Democracy
in disguise
We think the country will arrive at pre-
ciscly the contrary conclusion. and will re-
gard their conduct In this emergency as
demonstrating their entire independence OF
old party affiliations and prejudices. But
beyond and more important than this, their
course will go far 10 prove that when candid
men Of whatever party coolly contemplate
the controversy over the Army bill, they will
adopt the opinion that good deal OF the
special legislation that grew out Of the war,
or sprang up in the angry days OF recon-
struction, ought now to be repealed.
