leaving the election of the Speaker ASIDE
the Democratic members have not mace d oin
limit record during the first week OF their pos
session of the House of Representatives, ihoy
have committed two serious plumbers a.u
hacked down twice. The first bunder was 'he
ottempt to force the reluctant Mr. MahhlhH'
Democrat, to qualify as member OF tho house
90 AGAINST General Chalmers, who occupies inc
contested seat This course was too outrageous
to he tolerated, and next day Mr.. Converse WHO
had led the attempt, allowed the matter TO go 10
the Elections Committee, where IL oeloneOu.
The second mistake was OF the same k,iiu DuO
worse. Mr.. Tucker wanted the hic0'iohs
Committee to report Immediately In the case VI
Garrison against Mayo which OF the COMES
tants was entitled to the seat primd Jac'e' IL
was Mr.. Tucker who led this sortle Dut yesVoi-
dav. too. he withdrew from his position, ana the
matter went to the Elections COMMITTEE III u
nroner way. Both these retreats seem to nave
been managed by Mr.. Randall, who also wisely
got the House to adjourn before 1t had Deeh
guilty of any more folly.
The managers of the NewYOrk Central
have adopted a wise policy in deciding 10
reduce Communication rates upon the HUDSON
River and Harlem divisions of their road IL
will certainly please the public, and In the end'
probably, the stockholders also. The change
means satisfactory increase IN the population
of towns along these two lines made up OF a
most desirable class of peOple-trugal ana III
dustrious men and women of moderate means,
who appreciate a good home and cannot find 1t
in the city. And in turn, again, this means
larger income for the railway company. Inc
action of the Central ought to have good IN
fuence Oh all the roads leading from New YORK
into New-Jersey and Long Island. Some OF
them have long followed a generous pohcy IN
communication rates. but even the lowest rates
at present might easily be made lower with
probable profit to the corporations. Ihere Is no
city in the country in which the demand for
suburban homes is so great as in New York,
and no place where they are so hard to get
Every move, therefore, which increases the
supply merits hearty commentator.

The Senate has gone promptly to work, and
yesterday considered one of the most important
subjects that will come before Congress this
winter-the suspension of the Silver Coinage
act. Senator Morrill, of Vermont made an excel
lent speech against coming any more hight
weight dollars. His reasons were not only I'M
answerable, but they were fOrcibly put. long
extract from the speech will be found elsewhere
in this impression. 1t should be carefully read
especially by those who still think we ought to
go on filling up the Treasury with superhuous
dollars that will not circulate.

The seizure yesterday of eighteen cases Of
furs, valued at $4,000, is timely illustration
of what Secretary Folger says in his last report
about the constant differentiation OF melchan-
disc by consignOrs abroad and their agents in
this country. 1t shows how needful is the re-
medal legislation which the Secretary asks
The great difficulty In all such cases is TO prove
the guilty intent of the importer, Tor the law as
it now stands, compels the Court " TO submit TO
the jury as distinct and separate proposition,
whether the alleged acts were done with an
actual intention to defrsud the United States
and to require upon such proposition special
finding by such jury" In the present case the
private correspondence secured by Captain
Bracket shows difference between the actual
value of the goods and the invoice value of 90
per cent.

The position of the police authorities in their
struggle against the liquor.deaers and the Ex-
else Board seems to be impregnable from
legal point of view. In the case of the People
against Patrick Tighe, reported in Hun. 25,
the General Term of the Supreme Court held
that the license of liquor-dealer was abso-
Iutely annulled by his conviction for criminal
offence. This is precisely the point taken by
the Acting Superintendent of Police, Inspector
Tborpe. and denied by the Excise Commission
ers and some of the police justices. Certainly
that decision must stand until overruied by the
Court of Appeals. Possibly Mr. Peckham' the
new District Attorney, who is quoted as being
against the police In this matter mas never
had bis attention called to this case: Possibly
Also (but we suggest this with diifidence)' the

Mr.. Gladstone's substitute for Mr.. Goschen as
Speaker of the Commons is the youngest son of Sir
Robert Peel, and is not to be cOnfounded with the
present baronet of that name. who is also member
of the House. Mr.. Arthur WELLESLEY Peel has repre-
sented Warwick since 1865, and. while no has been
accounted an od-fashioned Whig he has been a
consistent supporter of Liberal measures. While
he has not made q great reputation in Parliament,
he is considered man of good Judgment and de-
cIslon of character. His brother, the member for
Tamworth, has been free lance in politics, or,
he has been pleased to style himself liberal Con-
sentative. Mr. Gladstone looks for Speaker In the
same quarter in which ho invariably finds his
Whips-among the moderate men of his party.

Friends Of the railroads throughN
nit the state have heard with regret
thar the l.. a. n. and the E. T., Va
a. ca roads have fled bills in the
Federal Court at Nashville enjoining
the rairnad commissioners from revis-
inu their rates of transportation. W e
had hoped thnt this matter would he
settled satisfactorily, without appeal
ing to the courts, and we believe our
commsnissinners have worked to that
end all the time. They have been
conservative, cautious and careful
ever since their appointment, aud
while they have persuaded the roads
to remedy pur Der Of ills, yet ship
pers have thought they were too
slow ortwo lenient with the roads.
If the matter is not settled before the
next meeting of the legislature, we
believe the people will demand that
a more stringent law he enacted. But
we hope for the best. The people
and the roads are mutually depend
ent on each other, and they ought t,
get along peaceably together.
