Fem should be “abolished or menoiiaiied: ana | thrown open to free competition, with proper guarantees and security for the circulation ‘and depositors. The bill now’ passed is as rauch as could be expected from this Congress ; but it is to be hoped another Congress will overhaul the whole s ystem. Consolidation of pNew York and Brooklyn. There are various propositions to unite New York and Brooklyn. Some are for a causeway, some few old fogies for the present mode of shipping or taking passage in a ferry- boat from one city to the other, and 9 great many want a bridge or bridges. Prom pre- sent appearances the bridge party will succeed. It is certain that the time has arrived when far greater and safer facilities must be given tor the citizens of both places to cross the East river. The first thing that should be done is to incorporate Brooklyn, Williamsburg and all the other places néar on the Long Island side with the city of New York and make them in fact, as they are by population, interests and proximity, one city. The time is coming, and not far off, when all the popu- lation and: places immediately surrounding this island, both on the east and north sides and far into Westchester county, will be one solid city, the same as the cities of London bY Westminster, Finsbury, Lambeth and the other places.on both sides of the Thames form that one mighty city known to the world only as London. Let us begin, then, with the incorporation of Brooklyn and the Long Island bank of the East river, as suggested, as the first step to the great future that lies before us. Then let us have not one bridge only, but several, not any light an doubtful structures the sight of which will make people afraid to cross them, but substantial and solid ones, life those over the Thames, that wMil stand for centuries or *the shock of an earthquake. Let our citizens, capitalists, the State and city governments and our ablest engineers raise their minds to the full magnitude of the subject and now lay the foundation for the mighty future of this metropolis. Rules for the Safe Keeping of Prisoners. The Judges of the Court of General Sessions have appointed Henry McCloskey captain of the court squad, and have promulgated a set of just and reasonatle rules for the safe keep- ing of prisoners. The captain of the Court of Sessions having charge of the officers shall detail a sufficient number at the City Prison every morning at ten o'clock to convey the prisoners to be tried or arraigned for trial to the court. It shall be his duty to personally inspect all prisoners before leaving their place of custody and ascertain whether there be any weapons upon them or implements which “might facilitate escape, and, if so, to take charge of the same. No one officer to convey more than two prisoners from the court at any one time, and such prisoners to be securely handcuffed. No prisoner to be taken from the court until after its adjournment, except by special order of the court. No officer, on pain of dismissal, to allow any prisoner while in his custody to enter any house or barroom. Two officers to be stationed outside the court room door to keep the passage way leading to the court clear; and no person or persons to be permitted to stand on the stairs leading to the court, These rules are followed by others in consonance with them. Recent very dis- graceful ‘proceedings have shown how indis- pensable as well as how reasonable they all are, and we trust that they will be rigidly enforced. ‘The Darien Ship Canal Treaty. We published yesterday the treaty recently negotiated by Mr. Cushing at Bogota with the republic of Colombia for the construction of the Darien Ship Canal, and we now propose to examine its stipulations and their bearings. Should any of these be found to operate as a hindrance to the construction of this great work, it will be the plain duty of our govern- ment to return the treaty to that of Colombia, with an intimation that the nominal authority it exercises over the Isthmus of Darien will no« be permitted to hinder the construction of an enterprise which is daily becoming more important to our commerce and our needs, The treaty provides as follows. The United States is to make the survey and locate the canal at its own cost, within three years after the exchange of ratifications, and these are to be exchanged at Bogota within twenty months from the 14th of Janu- ary; it is to protect the construction with military force, which is not to exceed one thousand men, without the consent of Colom- bia; to control it, with its appendages, after- wards, and to establish the tariff of tolls ona basis of equality for all nations. The republic of Colombia grants all public lands in a belt ten miles wide on each side of the canal, which are to be divided into lots having a frontage of three thousand three hundred yards on the canal, which are to be assigned alternately to the United States and to Colom- bia; and it further agrees to make no grant for any other canal or railway across the isth- mus without the consent of the United States. It is also stipulated that the canal shall be closed to national belligerents ; that both par- ties will unite in endeavoring to obtain from other nations a guarantee of the of the canal; that Colombia shall impose no tolls on ships and goods passing through the canal, and that the United States government may devolve by law its rights upon any citizen or association of citizens. In addition to these conditions the following stipulations are made in favor of Colombia:—After twelve years’ operation of the canal Colombia is to receive ten per cent of the net profits; after the origi- oal expenditures shall have been reimbursed, without interest, twenty-tive por cent of the profits are to go to Colombia, and after the term of one hundred years the entire works revett to her, We regard the Darien Isthmus Canal as one of the greatest enterprises of the age, re- quiring the exercise of the highest skill, the expenditure of thousands of lives and of hun- dreds of millions of treasure in its construc- tion. These of themselves will involve the imposition of heavy tolls on the corimerce passing through it. The demand that these tolls shall be increased one-third for the ben- efit of a mongrel republic, the prey of periodi- cal revolutions, and which is not able to con- tribute physical force, scientific skill or a dol- lar of treasure to the construction or protection of the work, is altogether preposterous, Kour- NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY,’ FEBRUARY 20, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET. fifths of the commerce which will pass through the canal will be of the domestic trade of the United States, and the demand of so great an imposition upon it for the benefit of a foreign Power whose only title to the claim is its dog- in-the-manger position, held simply through the forbearance of other Powers, should not be en- tertained for a moment by the government of the United States, The demand for ten per cent of the tolls is sufficiently impudent, and {a all that the country will be disposed to submit to. There is one other point in the treaty which is worthy of notice. We trust that the ad- vantages which the government is to concede 4o the enterprise in the preliminary survey, location and military protection of the work will not be made to inure solely to the benefit of some close corporation located in the vicinity of Wallstreet. It will require very large amounts of capital to construct this immense work, and no closed body of corporators should be per- mitte@ to attain the control of it and work all applications of capital to it to their special benefit through the many and keen shaving measures known td Wall street financiers, Every possible inducement that can be held out to aid the subscription should be extended, and the skilful taxation of lobby jobbers must be avoided. We wish to promote the con- struction of the canal, but not the contrivance of a job, either for the petty manipulators of Bogota or the giant ones of New York. ‘Tenement Houses in New York. An opportune and valuable paper on “Model Lodging Houses” was read by Mr. Charles Brace on Thursday at the meeting of the Social Science Association in Albany. Mr. Brace exposed, with alarming minuteness, the condition of the crowded tenement houses in New York, ‘in which lurk poverty, disease and death.” He stated that in this city there are fifteen thousand tenement houses, occupied by four hundred and eighty thousand persons, This gives one hundred and ninety-two thou- sand population to the square mile—an average much higher than that of the worst district of London, and nearly double that of Manchester. “Such overcrowding,” he added, ‘creates indecency and prostitution, breeds crimes of all sorts, supplies opportunities for conceal- ment of criminals and gives rise to an exceed- ingly high death rate.” Mr. Brace alluded to the difficulty of persuading owners of real estate that it will pay to construct houses of & suitable character for the poor, and to the fact that the public advantage does not cease with the actual erection of such houses, but that these same houses exercise considerable influence for good by leading those living in the neighborhood to improve their own homes, He gave an account of the operations of a large company started in London by Sir Sydney Waterloo for the sole purpose of building im- proved dwellings for the poor—seven hundred amd seventy-three tenements having already been erected, capable of containing eight thou- sand families—and of the less successful efforts ofthe Emperor of the French to start model lodging houses in Paris, He concluded by earnestly recommending that three or four model lodging houses should be erected in New York on the English system. We are glad to Jearn that Mr. A. T. Stewart and other great capitalists have already matured extensive plans for building a number of such houses. They will certainly be thus entitled to the honors of public benefactors. NOTES ABOUT TOWN. The Board of Supervisors conduct their business on the close corporation plan. They hoid secret meetings, squander the public money and donate to thetr favorites with a free hand. The minutes of their proceedings are sacrediy kept from public gaze. ‘The official guillotine will be put in requisition at the Custom House in a few days. This news will, no doubt, shock the nervous system of some of the drones who are marked out for execution. It is not true that Alderman Murphy Maguire ts writing @ history of the Dutch Netherlands. He pro- poses to complete his studies in the City Hall pri- mary school before entering the channels of litera- ture. . If the people who have the power to take down that liberty pole at the junction of Franklin street and West Broadway desire to increase the Coroners’ incomes they had better let it stay in in its present shaky condition until it takes a notion, some windy day, to come down on its own responsibility. |» What does the Street Commissioner intend to do with 109th street, between, Second and Third ave- nues? A row of flagging oneach side of the way wouldn't be out of place. The ladies who live in the vicinity have to wade through a foot of mud to go shopping at present. Will the Common Council condescend to inform the people what they use #0 many carriages for at the public expense? The special commitiees always have big bilis for carriage hire, but they do not state ‘where they go with the carriages. Is it true that the taxpayers have to “down with the dust” that Com- mon Councilmen may ride to theatres and balls? Some time ago a resolution was passed in the Board of Health asking by what authority its clerks had been employed in getting up electioncering documents. The answer seems to be very long coming. Probably it would be more of a “crusher” than the Commissioners had reason to expect. It 1s said that if the police force ts increased, which it should be, the standard for the height of ‘applicants for patrolmanic honors wiil be lowered. Good. The idea that a strong, healthy, litne young fellow is not fit to bea policeman because he hap pens to be a third of an inch below five feet seven, is rather preposterous, to say the least. What says common-sense Mr. Brennan? A bili has been reported favorably in the Legisia- ture authorizing “corporations for pecuniary profit.’ Can it be that ali the corporations in this city have never been heretofore “‘authorized’’ to make profits? ‘They have certainly grown very rich without autnor- ity. But, after all, did the Albany Solons ever au- ‘thorize a corporation ‘‘to make loases ?"" Who wouldn't be @ Coroner in these hard times ? ‘The sum appropriated for the coming year for Coro- ners’ fees 18 $51,500, just $12,475 for each of the four officials who sit on dead bodies in this county. ‘Three good sized houses bave been erected on the public sidewalk near the Grand street ferry. The occupants of these shanties say they pay ground rent for the same. Will the Street Commissioner tnvesti- gate the matter? ‘The old paper dealers in Ann street are doing a thriving business in buytng np old Corporation docu- ments’ These documenta are printed by the Tam- 1@any Ring Printing Company, at a cost to the otty of five dollars per folio, They are sold to the junk dealers for five cents per pound.

Advicea from Holguin to the 7th inst. have been recotved. The communication with the troops there has been cut off by the insurgents, who surround the town and intercept supplies of cattle. Families are fying from Remedios, alarmed at the approach of the rebellion. The telegraph lines con- necting with Havana have been destroyed and mails have been captured by the insurgents. At Jaghay a party of 100 insurgents were surprised. Sixty were captured and the rest dispersed. . The insurgents were near Trinidad on the 17th. They were under the command of Riojos and Bravo. At Cienfuegos it is reported that the troops have retaken Manicaragua, with 200 insurgents prisoners, Troops have been sent again to Santiago, Manza- nimo and Bayamo; but operations have been sus- pended by superior orders, and Valmaseda’s forces have been divided between Santiago, Jiguanil and Bayamo. ’ Nulanes and others have surrendered themselves to Valmasoda and asked for permission to leave the country.
