Tar hope is being expressed that, now that
Mr.. Hills convention has met and adjourned,
the Senator from New York will be able to
give some little of his time to the duties of
his Office. lie should try and do SO by all
means. both for the sake of his constituents
and his party; but the trouble is that Senator
Hills worries are but just now commencing.
He will haveamuch harde road to travel trying
20 secure the delegations to Chicago from the
other States than he had in New York. and
yet if he does not get the delegations from a
great many other States he can never receive
the presidential nomination. The United
States Senate will not be likely to enjoy the
benefits Of Mr. Hills brains and craftsmanship
until after next June.

IT IS strongly suspected that the %perpetra-
tor OF the recent express car robbery on the
New York Central railroad was also the chief
actor in the episode a few weeks ago on the
same road. in which a couple Of masked men
went through u train and compelled the pas
sengers at the point of the pistol to deliver
all the money which they had about their
persons. 1t WAS observed at the time that the
work was lone with the GOODNESS and precis-
ion which marks similar robberies in the
West. The robber. in the occurrence a few
DAYS ago. turns out 10 have been at one time

IT Is only a short time now before the al
%journment OF the Legislature, and IN the IN
terval there viii be q press of matters to be
disposed Of. Among these will be the An
cient Records bill. which has passed the
House and been fayorably reported IL the
Senate, but has not yet been passed by that
body. It is of special importance that this
bill shall be brought forward as soon
as is feasible. 50 that it may receive
the final sanction Of tho Senate. Few bills
that have been considered by the Genera As
sembly in the course of the present session
have had stronger claims 70 consideration.
Not only is the preservation OF the records
covered by the scope Of this bill of the utmost
value from an historical point of view, but it
Is equally 50 from a legal. The recent expe-
rience in obtaining a legal title to the site Of
the jamestown ruins is only one example Of
the almost insuflerabie obstacles that would
be created in many instances by the destruc-
ton Of all these ancient records.

your approval of me-" &c. Now,
that sounds exactly as If it was
being delivered on the spur of the
moment. and as if the ambitious Senator had
been gratifyingiy surprised at the summons
lie had received. Yet the speech had been
carefully prepared days and days ago, COM
mitted to memory and fixed up ready for the
printer. Such are some OF the devious ways
of New York machine politics.
