A stay of proceedings will bo asked for, and snother trial obtained if possible, Now York, whicl had barely shakon off last woeld's enowfall, tho heaviest of many years, wag vigited Sunday by n sleot storm, which wrapped tho clty in sheots of co, making tho streots im- phseable, covoring the treos with mantlos of front, and hinnging with such weight ou tho tele- groph wives that thoy broke down within and without tho cily. Many of tho streets wero closed by tho fallen wires. A bill was introduced into the House, yestor- tordny, providing for tho issue of 26,000,000 of National Bank notes in addition to the smount suthorized Lerotoforn. Theso notesare to Lo distributed to Lorks In States and Torritories which failed to recolve their duo proportion of currency under provious apportionmonts, and they nro to bo secured by the deposit of bonds, as in tho caso of tho othorissuea. ‘Through the oxortions of Senator Blewart, of Novada, tho bill by which tho Contral Pacific seek to got Goat Telaud from the Government was roforred, yosterdny, to ho Military Committeo. Tn comphianco with usual perliamentary proco- duro, the Gont Isiand bill should have gono to tho Committeo on Paelfle Railways, It wasnob given to them, as Souator Cassorly, of Califor- nir,is nmember of tho Committao, and iastrong- 1y opposed to the job. When the Indian Appropriation bill ceme Doforo the Sonale yesterday, loud inquirios arono 08 to tho existonco of {ho 'oton Sioux. A com- munication waa road from the Sceretary of the Intorior promsing (hat fusthor disbwrzements in that direction ehould bo stopped until it was known whether thoy went to real or imegi- nary Tetons. It was staled that, of tho £500,000 appropriated for them lask yoar, $200,000 was still unspont. “Tho only question,” knys n. Washington cor- rospondent, referring to the proposition that the Credit Mobilier Investigating Conupitteo shall throw opon its doors, *is whether, as a malter of courteay, this should not Lo left entirely to the Committeo conducting the investigation.” Certainly not. The Credit Mobilier serudal haa long sinco ceasod to o a quostion of courtesy; it 8 n quostion of cash, in which the peoplo have an interest that is ontitled to presont considor- ation. If tho Illinois Legislature wishes to worlk in- telligently thia wintor on tho railway freight queation, it should begin by ascertaining what is the carrying capacity of oll tho railways from this Btate to the Atlautio scaboard, and what is the amount of freight waiting to bo carried. It would not take long to learn these facls approx- imately, and thon it could bo stated with moro clearnoss than at present whother an enforced reduciion of rates, if that wore practicable, would lead to a condition of genoral prospority, or mefely induce a system of favoritism on the part of railways to some ehippera ab tho ox- pense of others. Mr. Gladstono has writton to the London Spectalor dovying thal ho had stated at a moet- ing of the Socioty of Biblical Archieology that ‘ Evory doy must bogin for mo with my old friend Homor.” In regard to this assertion, Mr. Gladatono saya: ** But as to my beginning overy day with Homer, ag such n phrase conveys to the world & vory untruo impression of tho de- mands of my prosout ofiicg, T think it xight to mention that, so far as my memory gerves mo, I have not read Homer for filty lines for a quarter of an hour consecutively for tho last four years, and any dealings of mino with Homeric subjects have been couflned to & number of daye whick could readily bo counted on the fingoers.” One of the abuses not eut off by the Commit- teo of Soventy in Now York is tho subsidy of tho pross. Tho Zimes allogen {hat tho World's bill for city ndvertising lins boen cut down from £61,000 to $27,000, and thut tha reduction “ian. sorious blow to that totloring journal” Tho World, on the othor hand, says that tho Zimes' bill for cily advortising has Leon et down from £86,800 to £16,078. It furthor charges that “ilo Times' billa for cily ndvertising have beon 08 monstrous in thoir churges, as unuuthorized Dy law, aud theroforo as groat an outrago upon the tex-payors of New York City ss any of tho bills of Tngereoll, Gamivoy, Koyrer, or Tields.,” We ccmmend to theso warring jousrals and sufforing tax-payers {ho exnmplo of Chicngo, whore all the city advertising is douo by contract in ono nowspaper, and ko only sub- sldy pald 1s to & Gorman paper, which has hoon ondowad by (ho Legislatura with tho privilege of copying tho same ndvertisemonts at its own con- venienco, at tho same price, without rosponsi- ility for orrors.

A number of peraons from Montana, now at Washington, declare on oath that there ero no Sioux Indiena in Moutana who aronot in- cluded in other tribal orgenizations amply pro- vided for by Congross, oscopt about 17 Indinug who nra notorious vagrants, and at wer with tho Governmont.

Tho Bpringfield Republican thinks that the pricos paid for nowspepers (the prico paid for the New York Tritune, for instanco,) are too high, and {hat bottor use canbo made of a mill- 1on dollars, in & more money point of viow, than 10 buy & nowspapor whose net profits aro one bundred thousaud. Tho Republican thinks that, considoring tho rigks and Lnzards of the business, tho capital should represent o sum upon which 20 or 30 per cent is yielded, rather thian tho Jarger sum from whick only 10 por cent in obtained, Tho old rule for cstimating nows- paper property was on the 20 per cont basis—by virtuo of which a mnowspaper whose aver- ngo profita for fivo yomrs lmyo YLoen 5100,000 per year, would bo ostimated to bo worth $E00,000. But Iatterly this rulo las beon undergoiug achange from the 20 per cent (o o 13 or 15 por cont basia.

The ofticial carecr of Govornor Palmer ling beon o consistont one, nnd yot the common accusation ngaingt him by his personal and political oppo- nonts Is, that ho is inconsistent. Tho fact is, Governor Palmer does not bsliove in the infalli- Dility of parties, and henco it is that mero parti- o0D8 biavo chosen to rognrd him ns n dangerons ond upsafo man. Ho was o momber of tho Domoeratio party up to 1854 Ho lived in o Damooratic scotion of the Btato, and yet he was kuown thore g nman of indopendent thought end action, and ono whoso ability made him dangerous to tho party. Ho rofused then, s ovor sineo, Lo nccopt anything which did not commend itself to his judgmont and conscionco. Awss lawyer, and o thinker, and an outspolien man, ho commandod the respect ovon of thoso who could not tolorato his indopendence. In 1853, at tho Presidential election of that yoar, ho way ro-olocted {o tho State Sonato at tho seesion of tho Loglalaturo in Junuary, 1853, 1o voted with the Domocratic memborstore-cleet Stephen A. Douglas to the United Btates Bcnate. In 1855, be was one of the Sonators clected ay Democrata who rofused to support tho cauens nominao of eithor party for tho Sonato, and who supported Judge Trumbull until the Iatter was elected. In uniting with tho Ropublican party, o did not surrender his freodom of thought and of action, In facl, thegrest attraction which tho organization of that parly offored to men of intel- loct was, that thoy would bo froo of that parly despotism which had suppressed freo epeach, which folorated no differcnee of opinion, and progeribed overy man who did not nccept ag gospel truth tho oracles of tho Democratic caucus. This was tho object sought by the groat body of Whigs and Damocrats, who sban- donod thelr party organizations to unite in tho now party, ropresonting a wider constite uency und less arbitrary and slavish po‘liclus. 1t is not to bo presumed that when men left tho Democratic party or tho Whig party, becanso of the monial pubmission of those parties to the institntion of Slavory, they at tho samo timo whjured all thoir convictions upon all othor questions. Apart from the institution of Blavery, and tho heresies that wore incorpornted in Na- tional politics to sustain that institution, tho cardinal principles and policios of tho Domo- cratio party wero mainly right, and wore ap- proved by nearly (he whole poople. Tho last and strongest opposing doctrine was that of tho + Amorican System,” or protectiva taxation, and this was formally disposed of by an over- whelming majority of the peoplo as long ago a8 1846, N, P. Banks and Ioury Wilson woro Hont to Congross, and, in beholf of Mnsgnchusotts, domanded freo iron and wool, and a general reduction of all tariff taxation not noedod for rovenuo. Tho great question of local solMf-governmont was one which had boen set- tled by tha wigeat statesmen of the country. Wo do not mean the dactrino of nullifieation, rebel- lion, or rovolution, nor the sanctity which was cliniod for the righta of proporty in slavos.

BCAVENGER WORK. Ono of the most disroputablo ncts of journal- Ism ovor perpotrated by an Amerfean newspapor wmay bo Iaid ntthodoory of tho Brooklyn Union ; and tha nction of the Now York Zimes, in giv- ing enrroncy and approval to tho stntoments of tho Union, Iu hardly loss scandalous, The two papers hiave nctod in concort to injure the busi- ness of tho Now York 2yibune, and commenced thelr efforts oven whilo My, Groeloy was on his death-bod, nided aud abotted by tho New Yorl Sun. Their joint cfforts woro dirccted againnt Mr. Whitelaw Reld, to provent his securing the control of the Tribune, Failing in this, the Union and tho Times turned their attontion to libelling the business of tho Zribune, aud sought to injure it Ly hoarsay declaratlons aud anony. ‘mous imputations, which the Times was shrowd enough to allow tho Union to originato and thon approvingly copy, Tho first of those nrticles which appeared in the Union claimed that Mr. Ortoh and bis associnton disposed of thelr prop- orty in the Tribune to Ar, Reld beeauco thoy hiad discoverod that tho circulation of tho Trib~ une wea much smeller then Mr. Orton had beon led to suppoeo; that js, that Mr. Orton had paid £600,000 without knowing what Lo was buging, and thatho was 60 much disconceried ab tho discovory that Lo demanded o bonuy of $10,000, bofore ho would sell back. Tho publication of tho arliclo, howavor, failod to have any effect Mr. Reid was too experienced a journaligt to poy avy nitontion to efieh n chargo. Bvery important nowepaper in the country hes had similar experionce, and has loarned to treat such slang with silent contempt. Thoe Union then eamo out with a mora porsonal article, i~ racted agninst Ar, Roid himself, purposting to bo an interview Dbotweon a reporfer of the Union and o gontleman ontiroly converasnt wilh the businessof tho Zribune, both public and private. In the cowso of this convérsa- tion, tho auonymous individual, who did uot wisly his name given, otated that Jay Gould Lad furnishod the mouey to Mr. Reid with which to purchase Mr. Orton's stock, aftor soveral intorviows at tho Lotus Club roomn; alko that the subseriptions of the wookly Tribunc wero running down g0 fagt that it would oven- tunlly totally collapuo tho business of tho paper. Lnstly, the anonymous individual is alleged to have informed the reportor of the Union that on thio vory day on which Mr. Reid was closoled with Gould to got his money, “Joo” IHoward, of bogus . proclamation notoriety, was also cloeated with “Boes” Tweed for the samo pur- poso ; that ownrd 5o worked upon Tweed 88 to induco him to placo in his hands socuritios to tha emount of n million of dollars, with which to purchaso tho controlling interert of tho paper, and that Howard Lad full power to put the secu- ritics on the merket and negotiato tho purchuse. Tho great preseure on tho monoy market provented hia success that day. In tho momn- timo, Reid, with Gould's monoyin bis pocket, succeeded in securing tho slock, beating ITow= ard by a fow Lours only in winniug the prize. The Union, howover, overshot its mark fu its malignant essocintion of Mr. Reld with Joo Ifoward, Gould, and Tweed, 1L wes en ovident nitempt to blacken Mr. Reid's charctor, since it hied failed to injure tho characterof the Zvibune. Mr. Reid rogarded it a8 such, end hio promptly and slierply demsndod a retraction of the calum- nious atatemont, with an unmistakable throat of suit for libel if the retrac- tion wns mnot mado forthwith, Tho Union rotracted in tho most humiliating man- ner. It did nob know mnything of its own knowledgo. It did not know whether the anony- mous individual lnew anything of his own Iknowlodge. In fact, it was not cortaiu whothor thero was any such individual at all. In fine, ib did not know anything about it, which wag about oquivalent to acknowledging that it hed in- ventoed the whole story. The inference is obvi- ous that it was invented for the purpouc of in~ juring Mr. Reid by nesoclating him with Jny Gould, and {hrough lim injuriug tho businoss of the paper. The Now York Z%mes has played o contomptiblo role in tho plot. It Las baen shrewd enough to lot tho Union do the dirty work, and then copy it with tacit approval aud hiead-lines full of maliclous innuendo. T'ho courso of these two papers is oven moro disreputable than {hat of tho Now York Sun at tho timo of Mr. Greeloy’s death, for the lattor took the full rosponsibilily of its avermonts. The Times and Union, Lowever, lave iu- dulged in this falso and underhrnded business uudor an anonymous cover, and now oue of them has beon made to eat humble pio in abun-~ danco. Buch disgraceful conduct caunot fail to yenct upon its originators. Ti falls altogether hort of its objoct. Tho Tribune will rlso supe- sior to all such attacks, and its young and entor- prising manager will secure tho sympathy of tho whole country for tho decorum with which ho hing borne himeel? in tho faco of thoir cowardly and uneelled-for hostility, Thopeoplo of Wikconkin propose to fight in carncst tho action of Duluth and tho North Pacifio Railway Company in building o dyke in Suporior Harbor, which, 03 thoy claim, obatructs tho navigatiou of tho St. Louis River to {fhioin- jury of Buperior City.
