"Country Reader" suggests new plan for anord
ing speedy transit to the people Of the city and
vicinity from Harlem river the Battery, which he
believes combines the greatest number Of advan-
tages with the fewest Objectionable features" He
proposes that the Hudson River, Harlem ana New
Haven railroads should unite their termini on the
north side Of Harlem river; they should then unite
with the several companies now endeavoring 70
secure speedy transit by underground, pneumatic
and other Methods unite their capital purchase the
right OF way from Harlem to the Battery, and erect
an archway wide enough for tour tracks, midway
between the west line OF Second avenue to the east
line Of First avenue, with wide carriage ways on
either slde The trains might run over this arched
way, aud 1t might include a pneumatic tube for a
parcel delivery. Under the arches arrangements for
and thus not only safe and rapid transportation OF
passengers and delivery OF parcels bug also market
Accommodations through the whole length Of the
city, could be secured.

Another Republican Paper Disgusied


One after another the better class Of
Republican papers in this State are
ceasipg to disguise their disgust with
the manner in which the registration
law is administered The Parkersburg
Times of Wednesday speaks out in a
manner not to be mistaken. We annex
its article. We will confess q sad error
if the Times does not learn before very
long that its excellent Governor" is
willing to throw every obstacle in the
way of the liberal Republicans, and
will not, if he can avoid it, work out
the reforms demanded by the Times
That paper says:


OUR REGISTRATION LAWS.


That our registration laws are great
ly in need of radical overhauling, the
late decisions of our Supreme Court,
published in our paper, have fully dem
Onstrated. The power given to the Board
of Registration is almost unlimited; they
verify can do as they please; can crafty

narrow minded vindictive views aud
make the laws so odious as to be hated
alike by Republicans and so-called Dem
Ocrats That lsome of the old Boards OF
Registration should have been removed
and new ones appointed, is, at least to
our mind, very plain. Knowing the high
sense Of justice which animates our ex-
cellent Governor, it is surprising that
man like DIR. Caldwell, condemned
alike by both parties has been retained
as member of Beard of Registration;
when it is well known that these
Boards are exerting almost dictatorial
powers, and whom, we regret to say, it
is beyond the limits of possibility TO
have convicted even should they in the
most palpable manner violate. the laws
The Greenbrier cases in which the Su-
preme Court reversed the ruling of the
inferior Court, are sufficient evidences
of the arbitrary way the registration
business is managed in some counties.

lose no time in displacing the Green

The Littieues. of "Lo,al' Greatness


One of the smallest things we have
ever heard of, was BoREMAN's demand
for the removal Of J. c. WALKER from
his Clerkship in the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington. Mr.. WALKER, as
the account of the transaction elsewhere
printed intimates, was at one time
editor of paper in Parkersburg, the
Gazette, we believe. During his connec-
tion with that paper, FOREMAN con-
tends that Mr.. WALKER printed divers
and sundry criticisms upon the course
of himself as Governor. On this ground
and no other FOREMAN has deprived
WALKER of a little clerkship by which
he earned a support for himself and
family.


We are informed by these who were
constant readers of the Gazette under
Mr.. WALKERS management that it was
one of the mildest and best tempered
papers in the State, and contained moth
ing personally offensive either to the
Governor or anybody else. The infer
ence then is that FOREMAN has. made
a fancied insult the basis of his action,
or that he invented the pretext upon
which he acted. AtaDy rate, a harmless
and deserving man, upon whom fam
lily depend for support, has been de-
prived of his subsistence to crafty the
malice of a man whose position ought
to have placed him above the littleness
of personal enmity he has manifested.
When United States Senator uses his
position to carry cut his personal spites,
in as small manner as this, he richly
earns the contempt that, somehow or
other, the people are fast learning to
cherish for our late Governor.

The Sentinel feels aggrieved because we
pronounced several of its statements false.
We were sorry too, but we couldn't help it.
If the Sentinel didn't want to be told it
spoke falsely, why did it make statements it
knew to beuntrue. 1t made certain statements
which were not true, and did so for political
effect, therefore we showed that the repre-
sentations of the Sentinel were false and
spoiled their effect. If by SO doing we told
the Sentinel it was "another we cannot
help it. In so doing we do not consider
that we have indulged in any Billingsgate,
for we had either to say that the state
ments were true or false. They were false
and we said so. 1t seems rather strange
and inappropriate to hear, the Sentinel,
of all papers in the State, talk about
"Billingsgate." 1t is notorious for black
guartlism and abuse and in fact rather prides
itself thereon. Perhaps the Sentinel moved
by its kindly feelings toward US, wished 10
say something kind, and thought-being
proud of Billingsgates itself-that it was
complimenting US by attributing to us prof
cheney in that art. We cannot, although we
appreciate the motives of our neighbor, con-
slider it compliment. We do not wish to
be considered a "Blllingsgateists," and there
fore will agree that if the Sentinel will stop
lying we will stop telling it about it. This
should be an incitive to the Sentinel to en-.
deavor to retrieve itself and to try to enter
that path of rectitude it has so long and SO
studiously avoided. rr.l


But we will remind the Sentinel that we
have given facts, which prove many of its
statements wholly untrue, and would suggest
that, instead of complaining that we have
said it made false statements, it should either
prove that it did not or own up that we
have said truly. We are not much on
"fgures," but we are extremely good on
facts. Ht - Dg .- .
