out abolitionism, as it is crushing out secession | monstrous balls, will never be used and rebellion. This is the cause of the mobs against aboli- tionists, and this is the philosophy of these out- breaks. Let those concerned take notice. TAxaTION OF THE Press.—The radical press has involved the country in a war which has already cost a thousand millions of dollars, and ‘may cost it three thousand millions before it is finished. Yet it steadily refuses to pay, just as ‘the leading abolitionists absolutely decline to “go to the war. But the most curious feature of ‘the revolutionary press, as exhibited by the ‘Tribune, is that it calls such journals traitors as Propose to pay their share of the tax, and strongly advocate the necessity of all classes being taxed to the degree necessary to meet the exigencies of the country. Is repudiation of our national obligations loyalty, and sustaining the war for the Union disloyalty? According to the Tribune’s definition of treason, we were guilty when we contributed $3,000 to the fund ef the Union Defence Committee, and more guilty still when we placed at the disposal of the government a yacht, which cost $25,000, ‘and ‘advanced the wages of the sailors, at the same time sending our only son to command it. The Tribune does not relish the idea ofa tax on newspapers. But experience in England ‘nd France shows its necessity. Whilst the English government imposed such a tax the country enjoyed domestic tranquillity, and at no former period made such progress in rational Mberty. The press was dignified and respecta- ble, championing law and order, while advo- cating all needed reforms. But in anevil hour this excellent system was relaxed, the tax was in some instances removed, and in others great- dy reduced. The consequence is that the coun” try has been flooded with scurrilous penny news- papers, whose design is to produce revolution—a design which they wil! probably accomplish in twenty-five years. This isso well understood in France that the Emperor exercises a censor~ ship, whereas he would attain his object equally well, and have the press free, by simply Smposing a salutary tax, and compelling the proprietors, as in England, to take out a license and to give ample security to pay the duties on advertisements, and the amount of any fine for sedition or libel against the government. His- tory has shown that a low priced press, without restriction, either by censorship or taxation, is incompatible with liberty; and, as taxation is the preferable mode of arriving at the same end, we think Congress ought to adopt it and ‘ay « heavy tax on the newspaper press through- ‘out the country. Thus will the sinews of war be maintained, and at the same time a great ‘moral and political reform willbe wrought in one of the vital institutions of the country. Trave anp Commerce ForLow THE FLAG.— Secretary Chase has issued a circular removing as far as possible the restrictions upon commer- cial intercourse between the loyal States and ‘parts of States which-had been heretofore de- clared by the President to be in insurrection, ‘but are now occupied and controlled by the Dnion forces, The trade of the North and West 4s therefore resumed, not only with Kentucky, ‘Dut Tennessee, as far as Nashville, on the Cum- berland, and Savannah and Pittsburg, on the Tennessee. Thus commerce follows the flag, ‘and the mails and expresses will also accom- y it wherever it moves. How great the re- lief to the Union men of the South, so distress- ed by the blockade of Cairo and New Orleans, which cut off from them all intercourse with the North and with foreign countries, and de- prived them of many of the necessaries of life, and nearly all its luxuries and comforts. It is a relief to the rebels themselves—we mean those of them not in arms—and, Wf the truth were known, it is probable that they are rejoicing secretly in their hearts that hey are saved from the incubus of the insur- gent army, which was devouring their substance, and at the same time causing them to suffer the most terrible privations from want of salt, tea, coffee, medicines, clothes, boots and shoes and other essentials of civilization. The change will also benefit the Western and Northern traders, who have been heretofore shut out from communication with their accustomed markets In the South. There will be some difficulty at first on account of the bogus Southern money which universally prevails; but in a short time that will be got rid of, and a genuine currency ‘will take its place. Itis hoped that in three months the benefits of free commercial inter- course will extend over every part of the South ‘where the rebel flag now waves. War axp Ixvestion.,-The age seems prolific of great enterprises. in this country we are all devoting ourselves tothe science of war, and have already invented iron-clad forts and batte- cies and iron-clad Monitors and Merrimacs. In every part of Europe a similar spirit of improve- ment and invention is observable, although di- rected to other objects. England is preparing fo renew the attempt to lay the Atlantic tele- graph cable; China and Australia are being Bnited by the same means; Russia is perfecting B vast system of railways, and an overland tele- graph to this country is debated; France is tun- nelling the Alps, and a French engineer pro- poses to build a bridge across the Straits of Messina and connect the island with the main- land. Heads and hands, therefore, are very busy in Europe, and great enterprises are the order of the day. Singularly enough, all these improvements are the results of war or preparations against war. The Trent affair revived the Atlantic telegraph. The Chinese emevte connects that pountry with England. The Crimean war raused the construction of railways in Russia, by demonstrating the necessi- ty of such lines of communication. france tunnels the Alps to bring. Italy more closely within her reach. In this country the war has produced almost countless inven- tions, from camp chests to monster guns, and from steel-pointed balls to iron-clad batteries. Cannon balls thus open the way for civiliza- tion, and as we become more civilized our can- mon balls are made larger and do more execu. tion. In 1812 twenty-four pound balls wero considered large. A few years later sixty-four pounders were terrible missiles. During the Trent affair England attempted to scarce us with one hundred pounders, of Armstrong's make. Now we have one hundred and twenty pound balls fired from the Monitor, four hun. dred and sixty-nine pound balls fired from the Lincoln gun at Fortress Monroe, and two can- non are in process of manufacture which will carry balls weighing one thousand and ninety pounds. This is progress indeed; and, as every improvement in the science of war makes peace more certain and permanent, we may conti- dently hoye that our monster cannon. with their in war af- ter the close of this rebellion. Tae Preswenr’s Emanctration MEssaGe IN EnGLanp.—We were not wrong in our anticipa- tions of the effect which the profound and com- prehensive proposition upon the slavery ques- tion submitted by President Lincoln to Con- gress would produce in England. It is already regarded as the most important news since the commencement of the war, and as furnishing the solution of the most perplexing difficulty in our political system. But the London Times, while admitting its importance, has, with cha- racteristic malice and ignorance, interpreted it as the first bid made towards putting an end to the war; and it hopes that other bids may follow, and that the North may gradually rise in its of- fers until something acceptable has been put forth. The ridiculousness of this view of the ob- jects of the Message will be readily appreciated on this side of the Atlantic, where it is known, both North and South, that the President, in re- commending to Congress the adoption of a reso- lution announcing the readiness of the general government to co-operate with any State con- cerned which may adopt a gradual abolition of slavery, had the full support of the leading men of the border staveholding States, and not the most remote idea of anything like what the Times suggests. That it was the wisest scheme of adjustment advanced through all the see- tional agitations of the slavery question during the last forty years the unanimous voice of the country has amply testified. While it counter- acted the evil effects of the now lawless abolition agitation, it was admirably adapted to meet the present great emergency, and its general in- fluence was, and will continue to be, of the most wholesome character. The moral force of this sagacious measure of policy has not yet had time to make itself fully felt abroad; but that it will be greatly in favor of the North is cer- tain, and the next mail from Europe will doubt- less bring us a harvest of comments on the sub- ject. Tse Beriixeron Anoritioy Row.—We have received a communication from a resident in Burlington, N. J., calling in question the cor- rectness of some of the statements made in our correspondent’s report of the late abolition dis- turbance in that city. In reply, we have to state that our correspondent obtained his infor- mation from reliable and respectable sources, including the Mayor of the city himself. And further, when bringing the objections under close scrutiny, we do not see that they possess material weight. It is possible that some things might have been done, and some things said, which did not come clearly within the cogni- zance or hearing of our Burlington informant; and to say that the reverend speaker did not allude to General McClellan by name, but to the “peaceful war policy of the commander of the Army of the Potomac,” is a sneer anda quibble_unworthy a sincere advocate in any cause. That Rev. Mr. Aaron was expected to reply to Colonel Wall’s address, delivered at the invitation of the Common Council of Bur- lington, is a fact as notorious as that he did so on the occasion in question. Asforthe number of eggs thrown, our informant probably did not like their odor sufficiently well to remain long enough to count them. And as to the Rev. Mr. Aaron not belonging to the Garrison abolition school, it is only a question between the Garri- son and Aaron schools which can go the great- est length to overturn the constitution. In other respects, the account of the row given by our Burlington volunteer goes to show that the feeling in opposition to the abo- litionists in that city is dceper and more firmly rooted than there was before reason to believe was really the case. The sentiment in favor of the Union is unanimous among nearly all class- es in Burlington, and the repugnance to aboli- tion lecturers arises from the circumstance that those sort of people think more of the eternal nigger than they do of the welfare and happi- ness of our country and the white people in it. ‘Tur New Mrrcnants’ [xcnanck snp Newsroom.— ‘The old Merchants’ Exchange Building in Wall street has been leazed to the United States government for public purposes, as may be seen by reference to the explanatory advertisement elsewhere inserted.

AFFAIRS AT THE STATE CAPITAL. — Harbor Masters—Responsibility of Bank Stockholders—Passage of the Public De- fence and General Appropriation Bills in the Assembly—The Position of the Important Public Measures—Excise Law im the Senate—Pettigrew Contract—Me- tropolitan Health Bill—Its Passage Cer- if the Aldermanic al Judgment at Hand—Quarantine Health Officers, dec., dic. Aupanr, Aprit 1, 1962. ‘The Harbor Master bill was reported yesterday by the Assembly Grinding Committee. The question of eoncur- ring with the report of the committees came up this morning, and a motion was made to recommit, with instructions to strike out the provision inserted requir- ing that seven of those appointed barbor masters should be captains or masters of vessels who have sailed from and to the port of New York for a period of three years. ‘There was considerable debate over the importance of appointing nautical men to those positions. Tho members from the rural districts strongly oppused the selection of soafaring mon, desi, rous,no doubt, of baving a share of the offices, The motion to recommit, and report the bill as {t passed the Senate, was finally carried. The bill requires that tive o¢ the eleven harbor masters shall have been captains, mas- ters of veasels, pilots or seamen engaged in navigating the wators of the port of New York. The bill will probably be reported back to-morrow and passed as early as Friday of this week. Some time since the Senate pasred a dill carrying out in detail the intent of the general Banking law in regard to the responsibility of stockholders of the bauks char- tered under that law—a much needed and just law. The Dill was taken to the Assembly, and, after a short cen- test, it was referred to the Committeo on Banks,a ma- jority of whom are bankers, and there seems to be sleeping. These legislative bankers appear to bo de- sirous of smuggling the Dill, or, in other words, to use their official position to prevent their class from being held responsible for the frauds committed behind bank counters and in directors’ rooms. Unless this bill is forthwith reported, a motion should be made to take it out of the hands of theso la- gislative bankers and refer it to a committee, whose only interest in it will be the general public good and tho protection of the people; or, in other words, a class of men who have not more love for banks than they have for the public interost. ‘The bill in regard to the public defence of this State, appropriating five hundred thousand dollars to be immo- diately expended in the New York harbor, under the direction of Governor Morgan, Colonel Delafield and Mr. Craven, of the Croton Board, also three millions, con. ditionally to be tendered to the United States government as aloan,to bo used in such a manner as the national government may direct in the defence of the Stato, was to-day read the third timo and passed the As- sembly, only receiving some seven negative votes. The vote tn favor of this measure was much more de- cisive and emphatic than expected, and shows that the House has finally got worked up to an appreciation of the subject. It is to be hoped that the Sonate will act upon it promptly. ‘Tho General Appropriation bill was also road the third ttme and passed by the Assembly. ‘This disposes of two of the most important bills of the seagion, mnt far as the Fouso is concerned. Next on the list of public bills ia the Militia bill, which is now ready for @ third reading in the Assembly. The Assessment bill will be ordored toa third reading within the next three days. This will dispose of about all of the bills of great public import- ance as far as the Assembly is concerned, leaving to that body to act upon the Supply bill and these ot local na- ture. The less of the latter class that is passed the bet- ter for the State. If the Senate take immediate and prompt action upon the above public bills there will be no real necessity for the islature to remain in seasion over its hundred days, which oxpire on the 16th day of April. The strong probabilities are that this session will be extended sume three or four days over the one hundred. There will be so many local bfils remainlye upacted upon that the mombers will, no doubt, romain that time over the one hundred days. ‘Tho Brooklya Commissioners of Jurors came up for third reading in the Assembly and was lost, not receiving aconstitutional vote. A motion was made to reconsider, and that motion was laid qn the table. ‘The teature of the session of the Senate this morning was the consideration of tho Excise bill. The bill iatro- duced into the Assembly bg Mr. Alvord was substituted for the Senate bill, and a large portion of the morniug ses- ‘sicn was taken up in discussing amondmpnts to that bill. It was under considoration.at the hour of recess, ‘The bill to confirm and legalize Pettigrew's contract was ordered to a third reading in the Senate. ‘The committee appointed on the Health bill are nearly all for it. The pa:ty who filibustored on Saturday in op- position to the bill, until they disgusted the House so that they referred it to a solect committee, can now see where their factious mode of legislation has taken them. Ivas reported here that the employes in the City In- spector's office, and other parties about the City Hall, have been taxed a certain sum and forced to contribute to a fund to send up here and buy up tho Logislature and dofeat the bill. The fact of this fund being raised comes from @ reliable source, and the lobby will, no doubt, be flush, and their wails turnod to rejolcings ws the sighs of legal tender and something besides scrip. The un- mistakeable prospect of tho péssago of the Health bill has cavsed quite a commotion among that pecu- iar class of rs that worebip around the a'tar of that political church called the But they have themselves to blame. Thoy aesociates in the departments have brought this restit upou themselves. They have had warning year after year, and if thoy had reformed thoir administration of affairs,and discharged their duties as they should have done, tho passage of a law of this kind would have never taken placo, ‘The officials at the head of the departments have al- lowed the ‘Ring’ to control tho offices and positions under them, and this is used to perpetuate the Ring upon the city. ‘Take, for instance, the election for Alderman. In the fall of 1860, ia the same district in which Henry Smith, a repubiicaa, is elected, three or four democrats ran against one republican for Assembly, and one of the democrats was clected by a handsome majority, and one of tho others polled almost as many votes as the repab- lican candidate. A month jater a democrat by preach ran for Alderman in that district unite! nomination cf the de Henry Smith was put into the field candidate. Mo being a membor of the ‘Ring,’ those members of that peculiar institution, in the odd number aldermanic districts, which were not running at that election, transferred ever to him their share of the patronage in the departinents until after the,election, and in that way & republican and a member of the “Ring” was clected in # strong democratic district, the “Ring” sustained and, its circle made complete’ for another year. ‘This is<cnly one instance of the kind. [ could cite numerous others were it necessary; and other departments, who have consented to such arrangements and copnived with the ‘Ring’? in cheating the public, miust wot expect to escape a just and righteous pudish: ment, Sooncr or later it is bound to come, aad the posi- tion of the Health bill now looks as though the day of pelitical judgment is at hand with these philoso- phers, It is reported that they aro resorting to the purse to extend their day of rockoning another year; but there is an investigating committer in existevco here, and we trust that they will be called upon to look into this matter at once. Wo re- peat it, upon their own heads havo thoy brought this storm, until all of the better class of the citizens of New York now demand that the Augean stable shall be cleau- ed. Let the “Ring” and its worshippers stand from under, before the temple of their own erection fails upon their heads. Dr. Gunn, the Quarantine Health Officer, does not seem to like the reduction of his enormous fees, as is contem- plated iu the Health bill, by giving him a salary of nino thousand dollars instead of the fees, amounting to twenty, and some years thirty, thousand dollars. At frst he endeavored to convince tho committee that the law would be unconstitutional. Wm. Curtis Noyes being hore, the committee asked him to examine the matter and give them his opinion. He has looked over the sub- Ject carofully, and declares it covstitutional. That point ‘being setiled, Dr. Gunn now desires it to take effect two years hence; but #s he is the only republican official in office which the bill affects, I imagine that TI see tho Legislature domg that, or any republican member of either branch voting against the bill, because a provision in regard to the Health Oiticer is inserted. ‘The saving to the city will be onormous—almost half enough to pay the expenses of the Health Department, coming from the Quarantine foes.

Assembly. ‘Ausawy, April 1, 1862. The Governor transmitted the resolutions of the Maine Legislature congratulating the army on its successes in the Valley of the Mississippi. ‘The report of the Grinding Committee was callea up. Mr. ALYoRD moved to strike from the report the bill relative to New York Harbor Masters, and recommit it. Mr. Puxurs opposed the motion. The bill as reported was a complete one. It provided that seven Harbor Masters should be®xperienced, competent nautical men. He commented on tho vast importance of the commer- cial interests of New York. The Harbor Masters should be men conversant with the navigation of vessels. In- experienced men were entirely unable to dischar, the duties of the office in full. Tho delays in placing ships, causing commerce to lose hundreds of dollars, would not so often occur if we had proper and competent nautical men for Harbor Masters. He admitted that inexperienced men might learn the duties of the office; but the commerce of New York can- not afford to be their schoolmaster. Mr. Phelps then spoke in eloquent terms of the high characte of the seafaring men of ‘New York. He had a memorial from the Chamber of Commerce of that city asking that they be allowed to name six of the Harbor Masters. Ho had not this, for obvious reasons. He was wil to leave the appointments to the Governor. He (Phelps) cared not what the politica of the men ted ~=omight be, but he desired that they should be competent seafaring men. Seamen alone could properly perform the duties of harbor mas- ters, and the interests of the commorce of New York required that such men should receive the appointments. After along debate the bill was recommitted to the committee of nine, with power to report it complete. ‘The Annual Appropriation bill was taken up out of or- der and passed. The special order—the Albany and Susquehanna Rail- road bill—wus postponed until seven o'clock this evening. Tho balance of the session, till baif-past twelve o'clock, me occupied in concurring in the Senate's amendments to bills. ‘The bill to protect the harbor of New York from inva- sion apd to provide for the public defence was passed by a vote of 78 to 9. ‘Tho bill relating to Commissioners of Jurors in Kings coapty was lost by a vote of 65 to 31, anda motion to reconsider the vote laid on the table.
