TIE AFrER. pINNER SPEECH.

We notice with sorrow that q spirit Of levity
on the subject OF the hnmor contained In the
after-dinner speech is creeping into the press.
Some of our contemporaries are printing para
graphs reviling the pleasantres usually exploited
in this species of harmless postprnndial exercise,
and intimating that the grounds for the laugh
ter" great laughter and laughter renewed
again and again" OF which we read the next
morning are exceedingly shadowy. The stories
and sallies of wit which evoke these bursts OF
cachinnation are according to- the writer's Of these
paragraphs, not the funniest things In the world
or they are old, not TO say prehistoric
We are, as we said. sorry to see this attack on
the after-dinner speech. The after-dinner speech
is one Of our institutions; no one, according 10
the very latest American authority obtainable,
can make aftcr-dinncr speeches as good as ours.
We lead the world. No people are worthy 10
stand second No one disputes this, unless per-
haps 1t be an occasional misinformed Elglbhmah
or other foreigner. We should no more dispar-
age our after-dinner speaking than we should re-
fieot on Niagara Falls, or question the height Of
the Washington Monument or crfticise the
Declaration OF Independence. What though
one OF our after-dinner speakers does han.
pen to indulge in little humor which
is not humorous, let us keen still
about it.; or. IL another tells new story whiel,
Is not new, let US bush it up; let u, keep Quiet

No 1RC1DE RIILROAD.

One of the most important, andto THIS Guy
one Of the most vitally interesting, decisions
ever rendered by the Court of Appeals, was that
announced yesterday, declaring the charter OF
the Arcade Railroad and all the ieSlsisaon ~
its behalf unconstitutional. 1t Is UNDERSTOOD
that the company had felt large deiree OF
confidence in a favorable decision, tholgn Oh
course it is always impossible to determine IN
advance how hopeful either party TO an mpor-
tant suit may be. But there is much u sup
port the belief that the projectors Of the road
way enterprise expected to be sustained IheS
had acquired property rights, submittedtheir
plans to the approval of commission en-
gineers, made large contingent contracts anu
secured the pledge of ample capital. ING I'M
doubtedly had entire faith in the feasibility OF
this gigantic undertaking, and were PREPARED
to push the work with all the resources atiheir
command.
1t is natural to feel certain degree OF ym-
pathy with men who have labored long and
hard, who have overcome many obstacles, and
who, having arrived, as they thought, Attn
threshold of success, are suddenly brough to
an absolute and perpetual standstill. But fom
every other point of view, we find in the de-
cision of the Court of Appeals abundant reaOn
10 congratulate the city. In the first place it
is a pleasure to observe that the judges are
unanimous. To the community, and on ne
whole, we should suppose, to the Arcade po-
moters, it must appear to be cause for salts
faction that in q case of such magnitude tue
court was not divided as to the law. In the
second place, we feel no doubt that the de-
cision is of enormous value to this city. 1t IL
probable that this scheme could have been
carried out to practical conclusion. so tar
as we understand it, the plans involved no
problems which engineering skill, adequately
supported by capital, is not competent to solve
But we are of the opinion that in the process
private property holders must have suffered
dangerous wrongs, and the city have surren-
dered invaluable rights.
UnqueStionably the transportation problem in
New-York will never be settled without great
temporary sacrifices, both by individuals and by
the public, and when system corresponding
to the present and future necessities OF the
metropolis has been devised, the people ought
to be, and we hope viii have to be, ready to
make them. A right thus surrendered, how
ever great, will not be invaluable. Its value
will eventually be more than recompensed to
individuals and to the community. Such a
system we do not believe was insured by the
plans Of the Arcade Railroad.

ating one huge municipality here and it canno'
be denied that the scheme presnts some az
tractive features. Public sentiment may DC
crystallizing in the direction of sonsolidaton'
but we fancy that the processis extremely
sluggish. Mr.. Deyoe tells a TRIBUNE report
er that he does not expect to see he thing done
in his lifetime. This is pruent position
for him to take, and his probableassociates' II
wise, win be equally conservative. There is no
objection that we can think of tothe appoint
ment of o commission, but its funtions WIZ be
ornamental rather than practically useful at
least for good many years to cone.

The people are accustomed TO this sort OK thing,
we repeat, aud they want 1t continued.
A further insinuation made by some Of our con-
temporaries Is that the laughter produced by an
after-dinner speech depends not so much on the
quality of the wit as upon the quantity Of the
wine. This is probably largely n SANDER, but in
any case it is not necessary TO tell the world Of It,
and it furnishes no argument why these enter
tanning reports should not be published, or, when
we are so fortunate as to be present at the dinner
why we should not join heartily in the laugh
ter and even in the great laughter and roars
of laughter"
On the whole, this is q subject which we should
not discuss publicly. Privately, Of course, we
must all admit that IL frequently happens that n
small witticism calls out a great laugh on these
Joyous after-dinner occasions, but let us not tell
the whole world. Besides, laughter is good thing
and IL it is possible TO produce it with great
economy in humor, why, the humor win last the
