It is also the duty of the preas while it records from time to time the operations of the various roads to wield its influence im endeavoring to check, if it cannot entirely remove, the bad effects of monopoly and exclusivences, ‘There can be no question as to the many advantages they offer in the way of accommodation in transporting passengers to and from all parts of Manhattan Isiend, and even beyond as far as Fordham, yet, on the other hand, it must be considered that the public, who are benefited by this accommodation, pay for it, and pay, too, considerably more than they should when the earn- ings and eash receipts of the several compames are taken tnto consideration. By reference to the following statistics, which are carefully compiled from correct sources, and which pre- sent, in the most concise manner, a complete history, with fall data, of each road, it will be clearly demonstrated that the older or principal roads can afford to run their cars, charging @ fare of four cents, instead of thoir present exorbitant charge of six cents, with an additional cont added beyond a certain boundary, the several companies thus enriching themselvog and pocketing yearly thousands upon thousands at the expevse of the public, who have contributed to build up thoir roads and who maintain them by their patronage. During the time that the various companies charged five cents car fare there was no complaint; tho travel- ling public were transported to and from their homes and paid their fare willingly. Thea came an in- ternal revenue tax upun the faro equal to one-eighth of a cent for cach passenger; tho fare was then forthwith raised to six cents, and when the public, with good reason, com- plained of this imposition, and represented to the offi- cors of the several companies that such a charge was io direct violation of the oharters, these companies an nounced, as ® concession to the public interests, that they were prepared to seil tickets, in amounts not less than $1, at 53sc. Whon application is made it must be within certain hours of the day; in Park row, the down-town office of ono of the principal companies, the “ticketa are just out; call again,” When tickets are had at a few of the up-town depots, the conductors re- fuse to take them from Harlem or intermediate points down to the depots, even with the additional cent added. Tho conductors, on leaving City Hall, when they do take tickets, charge two cents xtra for ali pointe above their respective depots, thus val- amg them at five cents, and entailing a loss of one eighth of acent on each ticket to tho holder, When questioned as to the cauee of this proceeding, their reply is that they are inairucted to do» vy the Saper- intendont of the road, and passengers ce thas pre- eluded from all redress. No @: 6 can poasibly pal- liate this wanton disregard of the obligations which those railroad companies owe to the public, and which evory hour of the day is in contravention and a palpable vio- lation of their several charters. ‘The time has arrived when the pabiic should become awakenod to these abuses and impos.tions and to adopt some remedies therefor. It is all moonshine for these companies to repy, when compiaints are made, that bigh prices of hay and fodder, horaeflesh and salaries to drivers and conductors nocessitate thes illegal and ex- orbitant cuarges, A g! at the following statistics will toll ite own story; Hgures cannot lie From these Statistics the evidence is conclosive that almost all of the companies controlling the street lines can afford to run their cara ata fare of four couts and still declare handsome dividends to the stockholders, It is true that while these companies exercise an opprossive ° the public they are themselves,controliod by a few stock - holders, who, in many instances, hold a majority of the company’s stock, these particular directors being di- rectors and officers; but this signifies nothing to those who bear the brunt of this . ye It does not mat- ter tothe public whether Mr. Hart or Mr. Sharpe, Mr. ‘eed, or Mr. Anybody Else, controis immense railroad company, ex- cept to show how iadividual influence may be wielded for ignoble purposes. The mass of our community, ve- sides an immense floating population, who are coatinu- ally travelling on these street cars, are not bencilited by the knowledge that they are overcharged through a monopoly created* by a few share- holders. I is sufficient for them to know that they are overtaxed in railroad fares, and aleo to know thi me speedy action on their part is neces. sary if they would bave their grievances promptly ro- dressed. The Legisla‘ure in granting charters to etreet railroads, an weil as all other ratroad companies, makes it obiiga- tory upon thein to make out a report ef their entire jous yearly, which report must be sworn to afore &@ notary public of the city and county through which the several roads run, and presented to the State En- gineer and Surveyor at Albany. In the majority of tuese reports, in their general statement of expousse, lumber and other material bought for additional work- shops or to improve their palat al edifices, cars, now engines, harness, purchases of real estate, &c., are included. In one company’s report $125,000 appears among the expenses, abd $121,000 in another, which amounts are, with numberless other iiems, called expenses, and deducted from the earnings of the company. It isa well known axiom that & man can’t spond a dollar and have the doliar thus spent; but if he receives the quid pre quo for that dollar, and uses {tin bis business, that which the money buys repre- sents #0 much money in stock; and so it is with corporations, If they invest & certain amount in stock and real estate, they receive that which represents the amount invesied and which, in many instances, attains an enhanced value. Why, then, should the money thas invesied be classed as expenses, when, on the con’ , it is adding #0 much to the real and personal estate of the corpora- tion? Is it to throw dust in the eyes of People, that they may not see the actual fits realized’ Or ie it that the companies are so blind themeelves that they cannot see that the money thus expended is represented by ite equivalent? There in fee! @ street road that with its stock, real estate and r of charter, would not bring at public auction to-morrow more than its actual cost, go eager wonld be the demand of capitalists to invest therein, It is idle, therefore, to conceal the fact that thoy are coining money, and that the forinnes thus attained are made up trom the hard earnings of the people, and two-thirds fromthe pockets of the poorer classes. The statistics appended of each city railroad company embrace Ul complete operations of each road for the past Lard omitting fractions and items of no interest to the yw instances, whore an additional nomber of a added to the liner, the monthiy cash receipts have beoa considerably augmented; in others the receipts are an average of the preceding year.

No little excitement was created down town yesterday by the rumor that the establishments of many promi- nent distillers and rectifiers bad been placed under seiz- ure by the Internal Revenue officers, for fraud and irreg- Ularities which were alleged ageinst them, So fer ew can be learned, for the seizing officers have as yet made nO returns, the state of affairs is as follows: — Collector Bailey, of the Fourth district, in pursuing his. Investigation into the alleged {raudsof the Kentucky Bourbon Company, now before tho courts for examina» tion and disposat, became possessed of cortadm information which led him to believe thes Prominent whiskey dealers in this city and vicinig were in conspiracy to dofraud the govornmont of the tax duo from ‘he sales of their goods, Considering bim- self warranted in such action, he forthwith applied to the Secretary of the Treasury to have three revenue in- spectors detailed to act under his instructions in ferret~ ing out the supposed frauds, and, if possible, to get a& the modus operandi by which they wero being so com- stantiy perpetrated. The application was favorably re- rarded in Washington, and Inspectors Connatty, Bae~ rows and Porter wero detailed to act under tho collectora orders, One was gent to Buffalo, another to Louisville, and the third to Dubuque, the three centres whence it was surmised the ‘fraud’ whiskey which doluges the market was eperated. These oilicers ‘‘sur- veved” the lovalities to which they wore sent very critically, kept up constant correspondence with each other and with the collector, and after due Inves- tigation and comparing of notes arrived at the conctu- sion, 8 one of thom said, that they bad ‘got the thing down to aspot.’’ Upon the information go obtained @ report was preparad by the collector and transmitted te the Commussioner of Ifternal Revenue, dotailing the ramifications and laying bare the machinery by whirk the alleged frauds were consummated; and apon this report, asa basis of action, the deparims ordered to be made the seizures which yesterday threw whiskey- dom into convulsions, Documents ure in possession of the officera which, it is alleged, wil! directly connect w.th enormous swindies a large number of heavy opera- tors in this city besides chose already brought under governmental ban, A rumor was cur- reot yesterday that the * initiative in these proceedings of seizure was taken by certain diatil who have for some time been cognizant of the ill pr ceedings of heavy reciifiors; and (nese latter, it averrod (and not the distillers proper), are at the bottom of the whole fraud system. low this may be cannot be positively stated; but it is certain that most of the establishments seizod yesterday wore recuifving houses, and they are now in charge of revenue officials, Fur- ther developmeats will be made atan early day. In one instance the officers on making the seizure wero unable to procure the key of the safe, and measures were taken to force it open; but as Collector Bailey thought it better to leave it closed until! Monday, tt was duly sealed and placed in charge, If the key be not forthooming to-morrow, the officers will take effective means of get- ting at the contenis (among which, itis surmised, are documents that will greatly aid the further tavesiigaiom to be instituted). Among the establishments seized are those of 8 O. Bohm & Co,, No, 6 Cedur street; Tenth avenue, near Thirty-eignth street, and avenue A, near Twenty-sixth Street; Cuthbert & Cunningham, Jona streot, Brooklym; Joseph Jones & Co, Whircuall street, and Samuel Engle, First street, Williamsburs. Others are also under s-izure, but for the present the Ollicers decline to make further d sciosures. ‘The following seizures were made by order of the Metropolitan toerd :— Thirty-five barrels of whiskey at the rectifying eatab- lishment of FE.

A counterfeit branding place was also found in this establishment, and with & the cases in question are alleged to have been branded, No owner has as yet been found for the tobacco. It is forther alleged that this manufactory has been carried on for some tim? without a license, Its capacity is about five thousand pounds per month, which ought te yield a monthly revenue of about $2,000.
