People who used the horse cars yesterday
morning. saw something of the difficulty of
carving on the commerce of New-York with
obstructrd streets. The snow-ploughs threw
I'D ridges on each side of the tracks the
snow shovelled from the sidewalks and cutters
was added to these hills; aud wagon traffic
in many places was practically suspended.
Heavy loads could not be dragged through
the, snow on. the carriagc-way, and break
downs were frequent A great part of the
business of the side streets was diverted to
Broadway, and on that thOrOughfare, by the
use of double teams the throng of vehicles
was kept slowly moving.
What would have been the condition of
affairs yesterday If Broadway, as well as the
later al avenues, had been occupied by horse
railroad7 Commerce would have been block
AIDED Merchants would have suffered untold
loss. The transportation OF freight to and
from the stations. wharves and warehouses
would-have been almost impossible. Steamers
would have sailed without their full car
goes, and incoming vessels would hardly
have been able TO discharge. Broadway is
the only clear tboroughfare left for traffic,
and if it should be obstructed as the other
streets have been the injury to the trade
of the port would be incaculabe. The num-
Der of licensed vehicles and of business wagons,
trucks, ETC., belonging TO individual firms, is
now about 10000. being an increase of more
than 5000 III q single year. The increase
during the current year of prosperity will
probably be much greater TO these we must
add the thousands of carts, etc. owned in
Brooklyn, Jersey, Westminster, and Staten Is
land, but used i'll the transportation of goods
to and from this city. What is to become of
this steadily augmenting traffic when the last
OF the congested channels of trade is sur
rendered to the railroad cOrpOratiOnsf Are
our public authorities incapable of looking
ahead ten years or so to consider the inevita-
BILE consequences of their contemplated action
Are the merchants of New-York so blind that
they Will lake no pains to defeat the menaced
raid upon Broadway If the obstruction of
the streets il not arrested the condition of the
metropolis before the end of the century will
be unbearable, and We shall be casting about
for some violent remedy-tearing down houses
forced to do every now and then In London,
or else raising lawless insurrection against
the railroad as public nuisances.
Rarely has a. great city been so favored by
nature as New-YOrk, and rarely have the
gifts of nature been so recklessly abused as
by our imprOvIdeut population. We have one
OF the finest harbors in the world, and for
years we have been spelling it. We throw
ship-loads of refuse into the channel. We

Senator Blaine is quoted BY The Telegraph of Phil

back upon seventeen years of consecutive service in
the two houses of Congress, and during that time
there had occurred these bodies some of the most

acterized Congress since the foundation of the Gov

Miss Fanny Ranck, the lady to whom it is said
Mr.. Samuel j. Tilden is about to be married at
Lewisburg, is the sister of prominent lawyer Of
Scranton Penn. Scranton dispatch to The Press
Of Philadelphia says that Mr.. Tiden first met Miss
Ranck at the Centennial Exhibition and adds:
" Miss Fanny is a middle-aged lady, very attractive
and amiable, as finely endowed mentally as physi-
cally, and j. considered great catch for the sage of
GIamercy Park. She comes of an excellent family,
though not exactly rich. in easy circumstances.

his necessities be known-he was too much morti-
fled to show himself during his irregularities to
those who would have helped him. The RereiNc
adds: His parents have expended thousands OF
dollars In enabling him TO travel aud in giving him
repeated starts in life, and in New-York or New
Orleans the doors of the press opened to him.

all around him he had legiOns of friends who would

It is not often that the New-York Board of
Aldermen represents public sentiment. When
it does tue fact should be promptly recog-
nNed. There can be no question that the two
resolutions upon the subject Of the elevated
roads, which the Board unanimously adopted
Yesterday, represent the opinions OF the
people of this city, and the first of them
which is addressed to the Legislature should
be received with greater consideration than
is usually accorded TO the utterances of our
local lawmakers. Public sentiment unmis-
takably demandS the passage OF Senator
Astor's bill reducing the fare on these roads
to five cents at all hours of the day and
night, and IS the more urgent in the matter
because of the universal belief that the
reduction will work no injustice TO the
roads. The present returns, considering
the proportion of fictitious capital on
which dividends are paid, are very large. If
they should be reduced. the companies would
still be receiving a splendid profit from "a
franchise which cost them nothing. But 1t
may be questioned whether the increased
travel during the present ten-cent hours would
not keep the earnings at about their present
figure, while at the same time the public
would gain in comfort by the withdrawal of
some part of the tremendous demand now
made upon the roads during the fiye-cent
hours. The second resolution adopted by the
Board calls the attention of the Commissioner
of Public Works to the frequent drippings of
oil, water, etc. from the elevated roads.
This has become nuisance in the fullest
sense of the term, and should cease.

OF course the gentlemen who manage our Indian
affairs are flied with Indignation against Standing
Bear aud Bright Eyes for presuming TO tell IN their
reserved and quiet way the story of their peoples
wrongs. In the old days of Negro servitude
the appearance of fugitive slave on
the platform discoursing of the barbarities which
his Eind had suffered in their bondage would have
kindled the conservatism of the North into con-
suming flame of rage aud violence. But the rnmor
that these representative Poneas to be arrested
when they reach Washington cannot have had
any foundation in fact. This is free
country. and even Indians have right
10 talk, especially whens they talk in
NJ temperate aud digufied way these alleged
savages Ii IS now stated that the Indian Bureau
has not once dreamed of such thing
as imprisoning these Indians. SO Staud-
ing Bear aud Bright Eyes will not be
molested. and their straightforward statements
of the Indian question, from the Indian point OF
view, Will do more TO purify public sentiment,
hasten the time when the Nation shall do righteous
ness aud hate iniquity, than any amount of Civil
Service Reform of che Indian Department pattern.
