The pecpis of Schuyler county are in arms against an act parsed by the Legislature last winter, It | sppears that the Legislature located the county seat at the town of Havana, alter the Supervisors had ertablished it at Watkins. This proceeding on the part of the Legisiature has excited great indig- nation, and the citizens of Schuyler county have beid s convention and repudiated the interference in their local affairs in a series of spirited resolu tions, which are given in another column. The Commission appointed by tie Secretary of | the Treasury to investigate the mode of condact- ing basiness at the New York Custom House have arrived in Washington, and will send in their report to the department to-day. It is understood that the report will contain some important suggestions, which, if carried out, will materially relieve our merchants of some of the delays and embarrass ments to which they are now subjected in their bu- siness transactions with the Custom House officials. Collector Schell is in Washington, making ar rangements for entering upon the duties of his office.

Henry Dupuy, a clerk in the employment of Phelps, Dodge & Co., tin plate importers of this was recently arrested on charge of embers ling to the extent of rome four or five thousand dotlars from hie employers. The matter was inves tigated by Jostice Mandrean, at the Jeficrson Mar ket Police Court, when it was shown that the ac onsed had been in the habit of defrauding the above named firm out of at least $200 per week. The em veaziements bat been going on for the last three years. Dupay admitted his faults to the police offi cer and his employers, and geve such information a3 ied to the recovery of 2 large qrentity of the stolen property. Hlsewhere will be toomd a full history of the case. Our correspondent im the city of Mexice, wri on the “ist of May, reports that sixty of the person« epgaged in the late conspiracy aginst the lite of President Comonfort had been bauished tu “ Hore \eland,” after having worked in the city «ewors ‘with the chain gang.

We have to notice a vew and importint movement in the engar trade. Thin market, having a large «tock of sugars, while they are inactive and freights to Karope low, holders ef bonded rools have com menced shipments to foreign port-, and ehietly to London. The freight engagements of sugars this week mostly to Great Britain have embraced about 1,000 bhds., chiefly from firet hands. The red tion of daty on the first proximo will hardly work as much redaction in prices ax coneumers have felt just reason to hope for. The reduction will be only abont 29 per cent of the present duty of 30 per cent, or the duty will be 20 per cent instead of 30.

Tell a child of cix summers tbat there ise great ship at sea, approaching a dangerous coast, and that while a heavy tempcet is gathering in the horizon behind her the whole sbip's crew ure en- joying a grand cerousal, and then ask the little stodent in natural philorophy what will be tbe: probable fate of this veesel, and the answer will be that sbe must, sae will, be lost, with all on board. Financially considered, we, the Ameri- can people, are in this exact situation, and the result must be the same—a disastrous shipwreck, aad the distrivution of the escaping ‘peseeagers nnd their savings among tae wreekcrs waiting for the spoils. The extracts which we publich to-day in refo- | reace to the splendid defalcat‘on of thc late Ohio State Treasurer, Gileon, furnish some interestiog additional facts in this case, and throw some light upon tho ruinous tendencies of the times, of which this Obic embezzlement is but « epecimen. The Sebuyler frauds were the first important éis- coverics of this now epoch of speculations, swin- dls, forgeries and robberies. But the Sebuyler business, although followed by a general panic and involving the robbery of thousands of honest and inéustrions people, hada good effect in arresting for # season the vicious speculative mania of that day, ard in bringing banks, railroad companies, fisanciers and Wall street jobbers of all sorts, for s time, within comparatively ressonable limits. But the pacification of Europe, in the treaty of Pazis, and the French Credit Mobilier, with the fusbions avd fineries of the empire, have given an increased momentum to every species of speoula- tion and extravagance on this cide the water, which there is now but little reason to hope will | be arrested ehort of a general collapse and uni- versal financial revulsion aud bunkruptey, as in 7. The case of Huntington, the forger, with bis fine women, fae houses, fine furniture, blood horses. Ac., affords a shining example of our futhionable extravagances of this brilliant epoch ef luxury, folly and roguery. The case of Tuckermaa, of Boston, is, we fear, but a small pattern of railroad embezzlements and deficien- cics compazed with those which will yet come to light. The Parker Vein bubble is but one of a class—for a long catalogue of such swindling covspiracies, great and emall, exist, but have not yet reached the point of explosion ‘The case of Gibson, of Ohio, is but ore in the general clsssification of official correptions and public plunder, Thongh it may cover a million or two millions of dollars, it is bat a fea bite | compared with the stupendous echedule of spoli- ations concocted by Matteson and his co-labor- ers and the lobby-mongers of the last Congress, In railroad lands, patent monopolies, contract chemes, and what not, this echedule of projected | federal epeliations covered the handsome aggre- gate of at least two hundred millions of dollars ‘The same elements ard instruments of corrup- tion and spoliation exiet, more or lese, among the | officials and their confederates of every State and city of the Union. The epidemic ef speculation, like the cholera, developes a variety of kindred and subordinate disenses, but all contributing to the general fa- | tality. The morthly millions porredinto the coffers of civilization from California and Aus- | tralia bave operated to the expansion of credits, loans, mortgages and liabilities of all kinds, to the extent of hundreds of millions, upon every ling experiment, from government plunder jobs, | bogus mining companics and bogus banks, to bogus railroad dividends and simple embezzle- ments and forgeries. } What can be the end of all this but | another peneral collapee like that of 1<57, only | upon a much grander scale? The same premoni- | tory symptoms that prevailed in 1835-6 prevail in 7,in a tenfold degree. Government spo- liations, public defaulters, paper bubbles of all deecriptions, a geueral scramble for Western lands and town und city eites, millions of dollars made or borrowed, expended in fine houses and gandy fur ; bundreds of thousands in the tilly rivalries of fashionable parvenues, in silica, Joces, diamonds and every variety of costly frip. pery are only « few among the many erying evils of the day. The worst of all these evils is the moral pestilence of luxurious exemption from honest labor, which is infecting all clases of so- ciety. The country merchant is becominy a city stockjobber, and the honest country farmer bas gone off among the gamblers in Westera lands. Tous, aa this general scramble among all classes to be rich at once, and by the shortest possible cut, extends and increases, our rogues, defaulters and forgers are multiplied. Againet this prevailing preesare of speculation, peculation, avaties, extravagence, dissipation, corruption and “ioral insanity,’ it is idle now to preach. The epidemic and ite attending evile must ran their course, The wir: man, however, will see that we ure only sowing the wind to reap | the whirlwind, and will trim his saile accordingly. We con only admonish him that from all the signs of the times financial, polRical, moral and eocial—there is a tempert gathering in the hori von which, before or with the next Presidential campaign, will leave scarcely loss of ruin and bankruptey in its track than the losses of a seven yours’ war, mmacy Agamsr mie Pesce ov rap Crry. The developements that have taken place In the courts within the past few days have ro- vealed the existence of a dangerous conspiracy against the rights of our citizene and the peace of the city, in whieh the State Police Commis: cioners and some of the official authorities are involved. It appears from the revelations that Con have been made that the illegal aveumption on | the part of the Governor to appoint Mr. Conover to the Street Commisionerehip contemplated a double object. It was intended in the first place as anotber very remarkable and striking weurpa tion of power on the part of the Albany oli- garehy ; and in the second place, -hould the attempt at uearpation prove abortive, the idea woe cherished that it would at least involve the city authoritice In @ coufllet with the State aus thorities, and lead to a riot that would ondeager the lites and property of the citizens. In both these designs the schemers have been disap- pointed, althongh they very nearly euccecded n the alternative object of producing © most slarming and dangerous riot There is no doubt of the existenoe of this conspi | port of those respectable & iafl tacy, etrange avd extraordinary es it may We can trace it in the varicus councils and move- thents, and operations, and attempts. and threats, bed and made by the State Police ers under themenagement of Mr. Draper and all those associated with them, cither in a military or legal capacity. The conspiracy thus concoct- ed was sought to be carried out by such instru- mente and meacures as the illegal warrant iseued Mayor—a Warrent that has been judiciaily declared illegal —snd euch affidavits as those of the Coroner, that have been flatly contradicted by seventeen op- posing affidavits, It was planned and believed that euch bigh-handed illegal measures would be reeisted, forcibly if need be, and that in the effort to execute them the military companics would be brought into an armed conilict with the municipal police and the citizens generally. A more atrocious, detestable avd ontrageous conspiracy, veiling itself under the mock forms of law and jadicial process— for such the courte have declared them to be— wos perhaps never before attempted in any civi- lied community. Our citizens have need for thankfulress that the couspiracy had exploded eo harm’cerly, Tt now becomes the duty of the city anthori- ies—the Mayor and Common Council-—to bring before the next Grund Jury all the important facts that have been developed on these trials; and it becomes the duty of that Grand Jary to present bills of indictment against all who were con- cerned in concocting theee flagitious devices to involve the city in riot, bloodshed and disorder, They should be indteted, brought to triel, and msde to pay the full penalty of their offface, whetber the culprits be Recorder, militia generals, members of Congress, State Police Commission ers, Coroners or bogus policemen, or any or all of these together. Wo wish to see whether such dangerous offenders against the peace, prosperity ard good name of this metro} are to be allowed to practice their machinations and go uu- whipt of justice. Dts Logan Agnin—Zhe Oyster House Critics at Work. ‘The persecution of Miss Logan, the great dé- butante at Wellach’s, by the oyster house critics of this city, is an event of marked significance in the bistory of the drama in New York. Day af- ter day, dirty mean paragraphs appear in certain of the daily and weekly papers tending to dis- psrage Miss Logan's acting and .to damage her character as 6 sensible person; everything which malice can invent or wickedness suggest has been brought into play to annoy and injure her. Nor is it alone in the city press that these infamous attempts have been made. The oyster house critics combine with their duties on the oity press those of correspondents for the country papers; we have before us a heap of the latter containing lctters from New York disparaging Miss Logan, and falsely ond celumniously asserting that her @*xt was pot the remarkabie euccess that it was. Even here the malignity of these guerillas does not cease. Lest by any accident these insultiag articles and letters should escape the notice of the person they were intended to injure, they are carcfolly cut out and enclosed to Miss Logan and to some of her moet anxious friends, Each day's mail brings her a budget of calumuy, injustice, | roffianly abuse and insult Latterly, it seems, rome of the oyster house | critics have come to con-ider even these ven- } geances too tame, sud a sysiem of anonymous letters to Mies Logan has becn set on foot. ‘Tho following is one of these which she has received; wo print hati et Uikeraiim; ovr readers will easily recoguize the style of certaintwell known New Yous Jone 17th 1857. iderty I take in addressing you but ou auccess must be my excise Pabiieed to the beraid will do you an wary eee bot one way to extracate your self you must it otber wise you will be crushed the Herald has on- deny cos'ably bas a ‘arge ctrevlation but it has no indacnce even if Bennet surports you An aray of emty benohes will be the rewalt Adress a letter to the tribune or times do- | nyleg that yoo wrote the letter woh appeared in the bora: be public will beiewe you & you will gain the sur- papers with overy wish of your auccess I remain your fread ees Now what, we ask the judicious reader, was the cause of all this torrent of abuse and obloquy? Simply and solely the resolution of Miss Logan to step over the usual Intermediarice between thea trical dibuwenter and the public—namely, the | oyster hone critics-—and to address at once a | frank letter to us, explaining her position, her | views, and her hopes. This is the head and front of her offending. Ilad Mies Logan consented to pursue the usual course, and allow the theatrical critics of the sinaller newepapers to introduce her to the pab- lic, receiving for the service their usual conside- ration, she would now have beea celebrated ia their ehects as the equal of the greatest actresses of the day, a second Rachel, in short, She did not follow precedent thus far. She thought it best to sppeal directly to the public in the letter | which we published, and the fucts have shown that her judgment was corte: * has achieved a yery remarkable succes la go to see her nightly; aod this without ast aid 12 small newspaper critics and in the teeth of their mort vehement opposition. from tl y 5 5, ' It ia not worth our while to notice the charges | of violation of delicacy which are brought against ue on the busie of the publication of Miss Lo- pan’s letter.

Meanwhile our own judgment shall te our guide in reference to the publication or suppression of the correspondence we receive; it ie of no consequence to us or to any one what the oyster house critics think of the course it may dictate. But as the question has come up ina personal shape, we will remind the fraternity of drwmatic critics that we intend to pursue to the end the | plan of exposing thelr tricks and their ulfarious | | machinations. It is now many years since we | showed up the venality of the newspaper criti- | cleme on artiste and actor, We drew attention to the fact that a number of fdlers, mostly from | the continent of Rarope, had obtained # coanee- | ton with the minor press of the city, and on the strength thereof were in the habit of making | eaap | a living by levying black mail on | and every artist who ventured to appear before the New York public, We proved that where artiste refused to pay this black mail, they wore ry@ematically abused by the papers tn the inte- rest of the black mailers. And we reolved, and there, to open « channel of commuc between the artista and the public on which no black mail should be collected. This resolution f) | | | | hitherto cloaked their ambitious plans. Hence, } have exercised eo important an influence on the NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1853. seom: | The Logica? Consequence nf the ‘| petions=The Albany Usur- ‘Principle of Municipal Tnatitw-| It ia worthy of remark that during the whole of the proccedinge arising oat of the conflict be- tween the city and State authorities in regard to the Metropolitan Police bill, no attempt has until recently been made to controvert the arguments advanced by us to show the revolutionary and dangerous character of that measure, From the fint we looked upon. it rather as the inception of a series of political usurpations fatal to the gene- ral Hiberties, than asa passing aggression upon our municipal rights and privileges. The lessons of history, as connected with movements of this kind emaneting from the ceutral authority, offered too striking an analogy not to exeite un casiness aud apprehension in every reflecting mind. We felt that it was with ue as it was for- merly with the free cities of Italy, when certain influential farmBies, Jike the Visconti and Medici, began to encroach on their rights of eelf-govern- ment and to acaume to themselves the attributes of the eovereign power. Those cities, were awak- enrd too late to the. necesalty of resistance, and the result was that they were compelied to euceumb to the yoke of domestic and then to that of foreign tjrante. - lt is precisely the came game, but under a dif- erent form, which the new Albany Regency are playing. In Italy the supreme power was ab-, torbed by a few powerful families. Here it is sought to centre it in the hands of a emall and corrupt clique of political Geeperadoes, who hope to raise themselves to power on the rains of our municipal liberties, utterly reckless of the conse- quences with which the effort is fraught. If there be any distinction between the two cases, it is to be found less in the bold and wicked aepira- tions of the men who aim at such objects than in the difference of the elements upon which they bave to work. Notwith+tanding the greater in- telligence and enlightenment of our own times, however, it is uot safe to count upon the impro- bability of our being taken by surprise by daring | and cleverly concocted schemes like this. We have seen the French, with all their experience of political conspiracies and conspirators, alter- nately the prey of republican, monarchical and imperial adventurers, who have exhausted the public energies in visionary and unprofitable | enterprises, and left the nation an inert and al- | most lifelees mass, 50 far as political action is concerned. Are we s0 confident in our own strength and intellectual superiority a3 to con- sider ourselves removed beyond all dangers of this sort? We irust not, for such overweening vanity and blindness would, under present cir- cumstances, bo the most effective auxiliaries which the enemies of the public liberties could desire. The importance which these views, 80 repeat- eGly urged by ue, bas imparted to the present contlict, has naturally excited the alarm and wrath of the Albany conspirators, and of their or- | gans in this city. drom a cautious avoidance of | the historical precedents which bear so strongly | upon our case, and a consistent cffort to narrow the issues involved in it to considerations of pure- ly local expedicucy, they are now driven to the broader and more philosophical grofied to which we endeavored to hold them in the tirst instance. Detected in all their deep laid desigus, baffied in wll their ekilfully combined mauceuvres, and ex- posed to public contempt and derisioa, they feel that they can no longer maiatain this coutroversy onthe petty pretexte ander which they have within the last few days, and with a view to in- fluence the decision of the Court of Appeals, we find them combatting the bistoricsl views which ebaracter, and in all probability on the ultimate decision, of this contest. We are gravely told that there is no analogy between the uses of | roupicipal institutions in these and medieval | times—that although municipalities in the middle ages were the nurseries and defenders of popular | rights, they have been superseded by the more general diffusion of political knowledge and in- telligence, and that here at least we enjoy a plethora of freedom which requires no aid of this kind. The unqualified terms in which these notions are exprested afford pretty clear evidence that not only are the political benefits of municipal | institutions denied, but that their existence for any purpose is deprecated. We can easily uo- derstand hew convenient the removal of all such barriers would prove to the ambitious schemes of daring political adventurers, who | have recently thrown our city ieto con- then | ation | fusion, and hazarded the wholesal shedding | | of blood. But as it is not likely that we shall be | driven to contest that question with them just | | yet, we shall leave them to-calculate its chances | in, we hope, a remote future. Dut ia regard to ! what is really tangible in their arguments, it does not require many words to dispose of it | We repeat that the analogy between the uses of ; Municipal institutions in former times and in our | | own isnot the lees perfect because of the greater | age of the world or of onr advanced political | experience. The tendency to centralization, which it was the especial olycet of these institations to | | combat, is just as strong now, even under consti- | tutional governments, as it was under the reign | of physical force. In England we see a perpet- | ual strnggle waged between this tendency and | the popular will, as represented by the municipal- ities of the large towns, With the aid of the | country constituencies, the aristoeracy would | ride roughshod over the masees but for the ener- gotic and fearless resistance of these bodies. The | influence which the latter once wieldod by the | aid of their train band and city levies, thep now exercl by reason of their commer- cial and political resources And it has teen mainly by their help that the liberties of the English people have been confirmed | and extended, until they are but little inferior to our own, That this ia so we have only to look for proof to the modern experience of England's powrrfal neighbor and ally—France. Who will presume to deny that it is the gradual withdraw- ‘lof the municipal franchises and the contraliza- tion of all political power in the hands of a sin. | gle individual, which have annihilated the liber- ties of thet country? Tad the large cities and towns of France preserved their municipal inde- | | pendence Louis Napoleon would never have been able to surprise the country into the forced ac- kaowledgment of his pretended dynastic claims, So much for the argument that the political ecvssities of our times do not call for the aid of Tt remains to be seen | | | ne | municipal institutions was the firet shock tothe black mail business; | whether the history of our own experience will and every time an artist avails herself of it, as | Mies Logan did, it receives a further blow. It is | | now, we apprehend, a very poorly paying voca- | tion; and we aflectionately adviee the parties who pursue it, rather than exbibit their spite in abuse of Miss Logan and the Urnsin, to try rome more f honest aud lee precerigus culling not furnich a remarkable confirmation of their advantages. It may be that the munivipalily of | New York is destined to play 4 still more pro tninent part in the grand struggle whieh is every- where being carried on between the spirit of con | tralization and the instincts of popular freedom. i Should the necessity of furtber resistangy be | ' t made evident, Tar Press and tux Juntcury.—For weeks and weeks after the decision of the Supreme duty to animate | ’ fad encourage “it in the mission’ it tae thus far THE POLICE QUESION. Proceedings in the Court of Appeals, Acar, June 26—8 P, ML Court of the United States in tbe Dred Seott | Te Court of Appeals was in session five hours today, case, the black repablicaa journals in this city— more particularity the Tribune and Times—io dulged in the most foul-mouthed abuse and de- cunclation of that high ¢ritunel, aod heaped all the dirty cpithota that they could collect apon the head of the learncd ard venerable Chief Jus- tice Taney. The course of these journals in that regurd was utterly disgraceful to them, and was repugnant to that almost universal sentiment in this enlightened community—respeot for the ju- diciazy. Chief Justice Taney and his Associate Jadges of the Supreme Court have been for a while ex. _empted from the abuse of these black republican organs ; but still the samo epirit of disrespect for the judiciary is indulged, and breaks out from time to time, The lutest instance of its mani- festation is afforded in on attack made yes- terday by the philosophers “of the Tribune on the City Judge, because ho * had on a writ of habeas corpus ordered the discharge from custody of Mayor Wood, who had been some ten Gays before illegally arrested under a warrant of the Recorder’s, iseucd without autho- rity or jurisdiction, So palpable 9 usurpation of power did the act of the Recorder appear to be, that there washardly an aticmpt made to justify it, and the City Judge had uo option but to dis- charge the Mayor from arrest. And for this the Tribune treats the Judge to a most delectable dish of abuse. It ealis him the trusty Sancho Panza of Don Quixotte Wood, speaks of him as playing the fool, and ironically describes him as “the astute and refined Judge,” and “the learned and accomplished Ruseell.” Now, the Judge thus held up to derision and contempt is no political partisan. He has takea hardly any part whatever in the political con- troversy that has disturbed the peace and good order of the city. He was clected to dischargo the functions of a Judge; aud his only connec- tion with the Metropolitan Police difficulty has been as a Judge acting in his official capacity—just the same as Judge Davies, Jadge Rooseveli, Judge Peabody, Judge Hoffman, or any other Judge betore whom the question has come in oac shape or another. We think that this ruthless and causelees a-sailing of a Judge for his decisions in a court of justice is carrying alittle too far the freedom of the presa It ceases to be freedom, and becomes licentiousness, When courts of justice cease to be respected, and whea the judiciary is defamed, civil govern- ment becomes an impossibility. It is utterly disgraceful for a paper making euch pretensions of morality and religionas the 7rilune does, to apply such disreputable epithets to an honest, unflinching Judge—for such Judge Itussell has shown himself to be since bis first introduction jo the public as the Judge of a criminal court. We do not recollect another instance withia the last thirty-five years wherein an honest, up- right Judge—even when he was poasibiy mis- taken in bis views—has encountered euch abuse, or has been subjected to such vio- lent, libellous and atrocious charges and epithets us have been heaped upon Judge Rus- sell by both the Zridune and Times. Te has boen depicted by these black republican orgags in the meanest and most degrading colors, and tuat, too, in face of the fact that since his accession to the bench in January last he has been a perfect model of fairness, clearness and decision, and has shown such unconquerable determination aud im- partiality in the discharge of his duties as have entitled him to the approbation and admiration of the whole community, saving and excepting rogues, burglars, garroters, black republican or- gans and ultra partisans, When these journals assailed the Supreme Court of the United States they did 40 principal- ly with the view of pandering to the fanatic sen- timent of New England nigger worshippers. But for their conduct in reference to Judge Russell there is no such excuse—no sapology—-ao- thing that can mitigate or lighten the atrocity of the act, It is a mere malicious attempt to strip the judiciary of that respect aud reverence which ought always to attund it, by de- faming an honest Judge for no othér reason than the fair and fearless discharge of his duties on the bench, Lf respect to our tribunals is to be maintained and enforced, and if public seutimeat is not to be completely debauched and society | thoroughly disorvanized, the Grand Jury should take into its considerations such violations of or- der and decorum as we have noticed, and bave their perpetrators indicted and made to ans ver for their conduct.
