IN Il nassed the Senate yesterday. 1t was Mr..
prow,;no,s bill TO authorize the judges OF the
D;s,,ict Courts of New-YOrk to name daily
;orr,oI in which the calendars of their courts
shall he printed. This is intended to throw
some fat advertising INTO the hands OF certain
County Democrats who have recently estaOiished
a little legal newspaper. There Is already one
legal journal in New-YOrk generally taken by
LAWYERS in which law calendars are published.
The profession will hardly be pleased to be taxed
q few cents more every day to soc what cases Will
be on in the District Courts. If thore were any
reason for printing these calendars atpnblic ex-
pense in two daily papers, there is Ihe Guy
Record which would answer every purpose MS
the second paper.
The public meeting which is to be called to
express the sentiments of the citizens OF New
York in regard to the Aqueduct Commission
should be held at the earliest possible
moment. Public sentiment is thoroughly
reused against the intrigues of the politicians
at AL any; but unless it find expression IN
unmistallable form, the tricksters at the capt.
tai will be blind and deaf to all protests. III
seems probable now that they will try to rush
their Objectionable measure through on
Monday night or on Tuesday. The only
reliance of the people then would be upon tho
Governors veto. 1t is well enough not to
take this risk. No effort should be spared TO
make tho Assemblyinen and Senators them
selves, who mean to bearay their constituents
realize that that is something it will not be
safe to do.
The deaths of the Rev. Mr. Renman anu
DR.. Furney of the Grecian Monarch again
call attention to the negligence OF some oil
the ferry companies in not providing gates on
their boats and in their houses, and also to
their negligence in not using these safeguards
properly when they are provided. Considering
the thousands of people who use these boats
thot Of
are not drowned or crushed every tweDty-four
hours. 1t will not do to say that people ought
to know enough not to try to get on or OIL
the boats until they are at rest in their docks.
The trouble is as it always has been-people
will not look out for their own safety. This Is
fact which the laws frequently recognize II
the friends of DR.. Furney succeed in proving
their case. the companies PROBABLY will begin
to think about recognizing that fact too.
Michael Pagan. the third assassin who has
been sentenced to death for the murder OF
Lord Frederick Cavendish and MIR. Burke, Is
another of the men who surprised the victims
in Phoenix Park. Although Brady, who is to
he hanged May a. and Kelly, in whose case
two iuries have disagreed, probably struck the
fatal blows, Pagan stood by with Kelly and
others to aid in the work if two assasssins
were not enough. If there is any one so NOR
bidly tender hearted as to pity these condemned
murderers. let him read the disclosures OF
Gibnev. who in another court in Dublin yes
terday gave the details of the meetings held
nv fbe Assassination Circle of which he was
a MEMBER. He gave the names of the persons
whom the woud-be murderers condemned to
die one after the other Those sentences OF
death were passed on men whose only crime
was the faithful performance of duty which
they owed to their Government. The hands OF
Brady, Curey and Pagan are stained with the
blood of more than one cruel murder. Tc
