A fow days ogo the general complaints of the delays and neglect of the Union Ferry monopoly were met by the excuse that the severity of the weather rendered regularity in running boats impossible, This plea no longer holds good, and yet the company continues to subject the passengers to annoyances and in- convenience for which there can be no possible oscasion or apology. It fs to be hoped that the Legislative com- mittee appointed to investigate the manage- ment of the ferry companies will do their work efficiontly and promptly. The legisis- tion required is very simple. There should be more boats on the ferries, to prevent the danger of crowding three thousand people into one boat at certain hours of the day. Life boats enough to accommodate at least one half the passengers should be kept in available places. The boats’ should be com- | pelled to run without fail at stated times, and a barrier should be placed across the bridge the instant the signal whistle for starting is given and before the chains are unloosed. This would prevert the most shocking acci- dents irom jumping, after the boat leaves the bsidge. It is statod, on competent authority, that the old company ran for fifteen years on a capital of two hnndred thousand dollars, and when winding up paid forty-two per cent among the stockholders, although the charge for passage wag only one cent, It is. now twe. The committee have these facts before them, and they can act upon thom intelligently if they choose. They should also thoroughly examine the proposals for a bridge across the East river and secure to the two cities this much desired connection. It is now very well understood that Senator Henry C, Murphy’s bill is nothing more nor less than a cleverly devised scheme of the ferry monopoly to prevent, and not to facilitate, the construction of such a work. As solicitor of the ferry eompany Senator Murphy proposes ‘8 measure which postpones the commencement of a bridge for five years and then requires the erection of one which will take ten or twelve years to complete, The people of the two cities desire that a bridge shall be built at once. A suspension bridge, running from the top of Wall street and striking the heights on the Brooklyn side, could be completed in fifteen months, at a comparatively small cost and without injury to any property. This is the work they demand, and this the Legis- lative committee should recommend. Nearly a million of citizens who are interested in the matter and who are now compelled to sabmit to all sorts of annoyances, inconvenience and injury at the hands of a rich monopoly, are waiting anxiously to learn whether the Legis lature will do something for their relief, or whether, as in former sessions, the Union Fetry Company will prove powerful enough to defeat any real reform.

Mr. Peahody is @ gentleman of large intelligence, of shrewd business knowledge, and of broad, enlightened views ; but if he supposes that ‘the Mississippi Legislature will refrain from repudiating his Planters’ Bank bonds because he has devoted them to educating the litile niggers of Missis- sippi he labors ander a grave error.

This gift of George Peabody should ‘be made the starting point fora grand fund for the eduoation and enlightenment of the youth- ful niggérs all over the South. Jeff Davis will no doubt cheerfully contribute to it his Con- federate scrip. O'Mahony and Stephens will throw in the bonds of the Irish republic, Er- langer will subscribe his rebel cotton loan ; ‘and all the English rebel bondholders will do- nate their bonds as soon as they are backed by the British government.

When Gen- eral McClellan halted: with. his magnificent army of one hundred and twenty-five thousand men astride the deadly Chickahominy he kept waiting and waiting there for “domething to turn up,” until Stonewall Jackson, with a solid column of forty-five thousand fighting rebels, dashed in upon his flank, broke up his lines, drove him off and raised the siege of Rich- mond, For the last few days the House of Representatives has been playing this game of McClellan: It has been standing astride the Chickshominy, not daring to advance, and afraid to fall back. In this condition General Banks, another of our unfortunate heroes of the war, sounds a parley, and comes forward with the offer of an armistice from the White Honse. “ Old Thad Stevens,” like go-ahead Phil Kear- ny and “fighting Joo Hooker,” {s overruled and @isgusted, but he has to submit. And what has Mr. Banks to say, with his flag of truce? He says, in effect, that we cannot carry on the government by merely passing bills over the President’s head ; that Congress must have his co-operation to make its laws effective ; and that Mr. Banks believes “that we can, be- fore this session closes (4th of March), come to such conclusions as will compel the Presideat to sustain us in onr action, or justify us in adopting another course if be refuses.” In plain English, if Mr. John- son will not accept the surrender of Congress Mr. Banks thinks that fmpeachment will be in order, and, thus encouraged with an excuse for crawfishing, the wenk-kneed brethren of the majority agree to wait and talk it over; for peradventure, say they, “something may turn ” {$90,000.—AS half-past eleven o'clock last night a fire beoke ouf in the third story of the six story building En? fn { j Hf? i 2 i i i Hi i 4 rf E j E u There is to be s compromise when it . fs ap- parent on all sides that the conflict between the republican party and President Johnson has gone so far that one or the other must be removed. In 1848-9 Kossuth and the Hunga- tians had Vienna and Austria at their mercy, but they stopped to parley with the Emperor ; he promised, they accepted his promises and fell back, but only to be confronted by an army of one bandred and eighty-seven thou- sand Russians, called in to put them down. And, what does Mr. Johnson promise? The wooden horse of Troy or the woolly horse of Barnum. He promises that if the two Houses will accept ‘his policy he will execute the Jaws of Congress, He is to be bought to do his duty.
