Tux Hrron between the Mayor and Alder- men of Brooklyn, in reference 'to their Police Commissioners, it is supposed, will be duly ar- tanged by a division of the spoils, It is only 8 disagreement on that important subject. Let the spoils, then, be divided, and ‘Let us have peace.” Att Eyes ARE ON THE GOVERNOR now in reference to this Arcade Railway job. He has much to lose in signing it, but everything to gain in giving it the quiectus of a veto, Let him look to the interests and expectations of the people and he will discover that his only safety is the veto. A Bie Fisa of the school of burglars was captured in the capture of George Ellis, so- called. If half that is said of his robberies of diamonds, bonds, greenbacks, &c., be true, he ought to have been rich enough to retire from the business long ago ; but these fellows, as by a wise provision of nature, seem to be incapable of retiring, except to the State Prison. ee Tax CompPrroiiersuipe Sx1TLEp.— The Mayor has reappointed Richard B. Connolly, who was sworn in yesterday, as Comptroller of the city, and under the new Charter this ‘appointment holds good for five years. Thus, this question is settled, and to the general sat- isfaction of the community, for Mr. Connolly hhas been tried and approved as an active, faithful and efficient Comptroller. Gut Swinpiine Dens.—The police, as of old, for the protection of innocent rustics, have been placed before the gift swindling concerns of Broadway; but is there no law under which these nuisances may be removed? From the Peter Funks of thirty odd years ago to this day this system of warning strangers against these gull traps has been practiced, and still they seem to multiply. Perhaps the Mayor can find some remedy under the new Charter. ‘A Quaer PLAN For Tax Revizy oF Broap- way—tThe Arcade plan of making it from the Battery to Union Square a railway depot; but a shorter way of relief, and not as damaging to property holders, would be to sbut up this thoroughfare at both ends and at all the street crossings on both sides. But that will be the —_ NEW YOKK HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET, Railrona Encroachments Upon the Property. | aystem; but we want it put to a trial before ‘The Exploration of the Isthmus of Da- the Rights and the Liberty of the People. The hope that the bill to incorporate the Arcade Railroad Company would not pass the Lower House of the Legislature was based upon a mistaken faith in the motives of Assemblymen. The bill went through at the right moment as readily end easily as Harle- quin slips through any ono of the traps in the side of the scene when the word is given, and sufficient number of Assemblymen have done their part, as 9 sufficient number of Senators previously did theirs, to give the measure the force of law. Here is another illustration of the impossibility of opposing successfully any impediment to the progress of a grand railroad operation when it has fairly taken up its line of advance—another instructive exhibition to the people how insatiate and irresistible is this monster of railroad monopoly that seizes and swallows up everything. Broadway Railroad bills have previously been in Albany by the score, and it was known that the money to pay their passage through both houses would be served out by the bushel without counting ; but they did not pass, for it was matter of posi- tive knowledge that the people desired to keep that one street of the city free from the possession of any corporation, free for the common general use of the public, and, there- fore, it was clear that every vote cast for such a measure must be a corrupt vote; a pur- chased vote; a vote representing the perjury and deliberate betrayal of the trust of the man who cast it, Although there were plenty of members who were venal, and not morally above this flagrant perjury, yet they did not care to publisl and advertise their infamy, as such a vote would have done, and so the Broadway Railroad bills always came to naught. Yet now the Legislature passes something infinitely worse than any mere Broadway rail- road bill that was ever before it. It not only gives the complete possession of the street to 8 monopoly, but it authorizes the monopolists to tear up the street, to scoop it out, cart away its surface, turn it into ao ditch, make it a sort of stupendous metropolitan Dutch Gap canal; and in addition to this makes a free giftto the same monopoly of the whole or the greater part of every public place on the line of this street, including in the number that battery which Joseph Bonaparte offered to cover with Spanish milled dollars for a title. Some legis- lators seemed no longer to fear the infamy of voting for such a measure; no longer dreaded it should be publicly known that they served a private master when they had sworn to serve the people; and this must be attributed to the growing corruption of the times, and to the fact that the people are no longer represented in the Legislature ; tothe fact, indeed, that these grasping railroad monopolies buy up nominating conventions and send their own mento places in the Legislature. The ‘body that is supposed to represent the dignity, political power and corporate capacity of the people represents instead merely the greed and corrupt readiness of the aggre- gated railroad monopolies. Several times we have pointed to the tendencies of these great monopolies—these vast concentrations of power and capital that threaten the future of the people with a danger greater than any the world ever suf- ferred from the tyranny of kings. Wher we consider how much the railroad has become a necessary condition of the prosperity and hap- piness of the people, and consider further into how few hands are gathered all ‘the enormous power of this machinery of civilization, we look around to see what means is left to society to control the railroad corporations when their demands shall pass all reasonable limit. There is the power to regulate by law all their actions. But what a broken reed is this—what a lance of straw, when we already see that these corporations shuffle our Legisla- tures in their hands like so many packs of greasy cards and rattle a majority like loaded dice! What is the limit of their power? People have looked 02 to see railroad corpo- rations filching the popular domain with the assistance of Congress, and thought that the gift of those square miles of wilderness was a barren one at best; but what will they think now when they see a great railroad monopolist demanding and receiving from his legislative creatures the gift of this great, rich, populous, metropolitan city ?- Here is the most pregnant present subject for popular thought. But there is still one possibility in the career of this great iniquity—the Arcade Railway. It has yet to pass an ordeal that there is excel- lent reason to regard as more severe than all others. It must go through the Governor's hands; and it is still to be said that Governor Hoffman will be alone responsible for the con- sequences if this bill becomes a law. It can receive validity only from his signature. It is a dead scrap of worthless paper now, and his hand put to it may give it the life and power and sanction of a legal decree; but that hand withheld, it will remain a dead, harm- less and contemptible scrap of paper for- ever. At this moment and with regard to this bill Governor Hoffman is the State. The legislators who passed the bill with a peculiar regard to their ‘‘honor,” that does not exist among honest men, but is said to flourish among those who have confused views of ownership in property, have gone home. They have done what they agreed to do, but they cannot return to override a veto. The bill is before the Governor in its naked iniquity for a final judgment, and he will do wise to weigh well all its conditions, He has just done well in vetoing a group of bills passed to give away upward of four million dollars—to take that large sum out of the pockets of the people and put it into the pock- ets of a few railroad men, and the best ground of his veto was his opposition to the aggrandise- ment of railroad corporations at the expense of the public. Let him remember, then, that this Arcade bill is the same in principle— simply one point in the grand scheme of the railroad men to divide the country among themselves and disregard and override every- thing opposed to their interest. Considering this and his direct responsibility before the people, the Governor cannot put to this Ar- cade Railway bill the name that will make it a law. beginning, perhaps, of the Arcade in view of a general auction of our Broadway stores and hotels, provided always that the bill, with the @pproval of the Governor, becomes & law. PostaL Trrzerarn.—We are pleased to hear that the House Committee on the subject are working at the bill for a postal telegraph the House, in order that the American people may see who are for them in this business and who are for the telegraph monopolists. Our Criminal Bench. The last vestige of the work, or even of the aspirations of the terrible young democracy, the amateur politicians of their generation, has been swept away; the opportunity of even making a show of contest passed from their grasp by the adjournment of the Legisla- ture on Tnegday, and to-day New York city is fully invested with the power of local self government, The sew régime of public officers are busy or ganizing their various departments, and & few days will serve to place them all in suc- cessful operation under the control, without exception, of the Jona fide members of Tam- many Hall. The first hostile attempt on the part of the revolters was directed, in the early part of the legislative session, against the Court of Special Seasions, and resulted in de- priving Justices Dowling and Bixby of their positions as the permanent judicial officers of that court, and the division of the terms consecutively among all the police jus- tices of the city. It was an error on its face, bat it was the ill-advised action of a parcel of malcontents, whose sole aim was self-aggrandizement and plunder even at the cost of subversion and subsequent anarchy. It was a blow aimed at the highest criminal bench of the city, whom the young democrats, the representative plug-uglyiem, sought to ruin because they could not rule, By a clause of the tax levy this hasty work of the young and short-lived democracy has been shattered, the act created by them reorganizing the Court of Special Sessions has been abolished, the Court has been re-established on the former basis, and the power to designate the two justices who shall preside over the Court has been vested in the Mayor. Justice Dowling will be reappointed beyond doubt, and his associate is yet to be named, but will probably be Justice Shandley, This will place the lawless element of this city where they should be, and promises a speedy crushing out of crime and rowdyism. A. Oakey Hall as Mayor, Gunning 8. Bed- ford, Jr., as City Judge, John K. Hackett as Recorder, “Joe” Dowling on the bench of the Special Sessions, with a fearless and upright associate, and John Jourdan as Superintendent of Police, will make New York city the most unprofitable and dangerous theatre of opera- tions that roughs and cutthroats ever attempted to work in. They compose a phalanx of fair play and justice, and the respectable and order-loving community may congratulate themselves on the change that has come over the scene ; and, as an additional assurance, it may be stated that they are all warm personal, as well as political, friends. There will be among them no conflict of au- thority, no jealousies or party bickerings; but with a long pull and a strong pull, and a pull which will be invariably all together, there will be short shrift and long terms in Sing Sing for ‘our dangerous classes.” Activity in Wall Street—Revival in General ‘Trade. The speculative fraternity in Wall street have inaugurated a very active market at the Stock Exchange and Gold Room, and prices of stocks, governments and gold have taken a sudden upward turn, much to the delight of the brokers, who have had little to do since the crash of September set everybody to think- ing that money could be lost as well as made in that region. Wall street is brimming over with buoyancy. There are no “bears.” All are “‘bulls.” Prices from day to day steadily climb up the column of figures. Higher still is the predicted destiny of stocks and bonds, the money market being very easy and the finan- cial horizon unflecked by a cloud. There are few evils which do not yield some compensating good. The activity in Wall street among the stock and gold gamblers seems to be the signal for a general revival of the spring trade, which has been so backward this season as a result of the great decline in gold and apathy on the part of buyers all around. But the signs now favor a brisk spring in all branches of trade. Prices of merchandise, produce, real estate, building materials and all the articles of traffic and barter have undergone a great fall. The reaction is setting in. Our quadruple sheets reflect the general activity and increased volume of business. Money is abundant inthe metropolis. The Southern and Western mer- chants once more throng our hotels to pur- chase goods, and the merchants are growing as jubilant asthe brokers. Wall street always discounts the future. Wall street foresees peace and plenty in the immediate future. The prospect ahead for general trade is, therefore, very encouraging. De Rodas ond Valmaseda. In yesterday’s Hratp we published a tele- gram from Key West giving the latest news from Havana. It seems from the despatch of our correspondent that a breach between Cap- tain General de Rodas and the famous procla-~ mationist, General Valmaseda, has at length made itself evident. Valmaseda refuses to obey de Rodas. Not content with this act of insubordination he also aflects to enter- tain, contempt for the authorities in Madrid. It is, well known that General Valmaseda has had for a long time a yearning for the post of Captain General, and there is little doubt that he would go to any length rather than forego his ambitious desire. Valmaseda is a Cuban and represents the views of the most radical of the volunteers. He is bloodthirsty, ambitious and daring, and his late act, if true, shows that he will not hesitate to adopt the most desperate means to secure the object of his desires. Dissensions, it would appear, are as numerous among the Spaniards as we were led to believe oxist among the insurgents. The end of this quar- rel it is difficult to foresee, as Valmaseda is not without supporters, who believe that his elevation to the governorship of the island would be for the advantage of Cuba, Austria AND Hunaary are likely to become completely united by means of the Church. We learn by the cable that bishops of both countries have hastened to Rome to vote against the dogma of infallibility. A common danger may thus have its uses in proving to the world how far the consideration of the spiritu- Mlities really soars above the range of debate of mere vulgar, worldly politics, rien. Our latest intelligence from the exploring expedition on the Isthmus of Darien, published this morning, is not satisfactory. It has been definitely ascertained that there is no practl- cable route for a ship canal directly across the isthmus from Caledonia Bay to the Gulf of San Miguel. We do not, however, attach much value tothis information, because previous explorations had demonstrated the imprac- ticability of a direct route, But we must confess to some disappointment in the statement that the exploration of the Sassardi river is likely to result in the decision that there is no poasible way by which a ship canal can be cut across the Isthmus of Darien, or, rather, from some point in Caledonia Bay to the Savana river. Thus far the explorations seem to have been carried on principally in a southeast direction from Caledonia harbor, or Port Esconsea, towards the river Chucunaque ; but it does not appear as if the range of mountains, of which the Loma Deseada is the junction, has yet been thoroughly examined. The ex- pedition by way of the Sassardi river is that on which we now place most dependence. Up to the time that the letter of our special cor- respondent left Caledonia Bay the reports from the party on this line were” comparatively fa- vorable; at the same time it was hardly known whether the explorers had encountered the most formidable obstacles, Should this route prove impracticable, that from the Gulf of San Blas to the mouth of the river Bayamo, which empties in the Gulf of Panama, will be next explored, with, we trust, better sac- cess than the expedition bas met in Caledonia harbor. While Commander Selfridge is pnabing his explorations the Colombian Senate is making liself ridiculous over the pending treaty be- tween our government and Colombia, The principal fault in the Senators seems to be that which was said to apply to the Duteh— namely, * giving too litile and asking too mach.” Certainly the terms of the treaty are as liberal as the Colombians ought to expect, and any demand for a larger sum of money than that agreed upon in the treaty, or for further guar- antees, will most assuredly be rejected by the United States. We have offered to sustain the entire expense of ing the ship canal, and have gone as far we possibly can towards making the treaty more advantageous to Colombia than to ourselves, Cougrese=The Fifteeath Amendment aed In the Senate yesterday the bill for the enforcement of the fifteenth amendment, which bids fair to suggest as much debate as.the Georgia bill, was made a special order, to be taken up ag soon as the Franking bill is dis- posed of, One of the sections, according to Mr. Ferry, repeals all the registry laws in the United States. It has been some time since we heard of the Franking bill, and, even with such a dreary prospect ahead as another Georgia debate, we are glad that there is a hope, however distant, of bringing it once more before the Senate. Senators Pratt, of Indiana, and McCreery, of Ken- tucky, who, even among the Senatorial digni- taries, are considered very solid men in the way of stomach, and not at all lacking as to head, were permitted to make a speech each on reimbursing loyal people in the South, Mr. McCreery claimed that the people South should be reimbursed, whether they are loyal or not. After this the Senate went into the discussion of private bills. The especial feature of the House was the presentation of a report from the Reconstruc- tion Committee removing the political disa- bilities from nine office-seekers in Texas. It brought up the subject of general amnesty and disclosed an acrimoniqus difference among democrats on the subject. Some of them ob- jected to such small slices of amnesty and re- fused to have anything until they could have all, but others were nfore sensible and con- sented to take little, hoping to get more. The bill was passed, of course, after which the House took some recreation in iron and the Tariff bill. France and the Plebiscitam. Our news columns show that France is all excitemeut over the plebiscite. Political meet- ings, authorized by the Emperor's proclaima- tion, are being held all over the country, Among a certain class in Paris, it appears, the Emperor's policy in the present instance does not grow in favor. The radicals have been counselled by their leading men not to resort to violence, as violence would be certain to damage their cause. Meanwhile, the govern- ment is full of activity and doing its utmost to make success certain. Prime Minister Olli- vier, in a circular which he has addressed to the electors, boldly raises the spectre rouge, and gives the people the choice of voting “Yes,” and enjoying peace and pros- perity, or of voting ‘‘No,” and pre- cipitating the nation into all the horrors of ‘‘anarchy, disorder, revolution and revenge.” The latest and most important piece of news is that M. Thiers has advised his friends and sympathizers to abstain altogether from voting. We are not surprised at this; for it is well known that it was M. Thiers who induced M. Buffet and Count Daru to resign their portfolios after they had actually given their adhesion to the plebiscite. All manner of evil prophecies are being made; but while we cannot refuse to admit that the excitement is intense and that the opposition is strong and well pronounced, we have no doubt that France will once more rally around the Bona- parte standard. The situation is trying, but the result is not doubtful. INFALLIBIITY AND THE PROTESTERS. — Tt is a credit to the age, to the Catholic Church and to the United States that a protest such as we printed yesterday has actually been presented to the Pope. Purcell and Kenrick and McCloskey and Errington and the names of the twenty-four bishops who acted with them willlive in history, and in the future ecclesiastical history of this Continent this pro- test may play a most important part. We are not, however, permitted to think that the Council will be induced to halt on its mad career, Unanimity is, of course, impossible ; but the majority is so strong and so bent on its purpose that it is all but certain Pio Nono will die infallible. Meanwhile we are bound to honor the men who have so forcefully con- "| fronted the foe and fought for common sense, ‘The Disaster in Richmond. The last Richmond horror is of a class with such great calamities as the Greenwich avenue school disaster, nearly twenty years ago; the burning of the Avondale mine and the loss of the Oneida, So far as can now be ascertained there were fifty-six persons killed and over a hundred injured by the giving way of the floor of the State Capitol. The city mayoralty case was being heard and the room was crowded. Beneath was the Hall of Delegates, which for- tunately was not occupied at the time except by a few stragglers of the Legislature, who had come to their seats before the regular hour of the session. Among the killed are some of the prominent lawyers and citizens of the town. Governor Walker was on the floor, but escaped unhurt. Ex-Governor Wells and ex-District Attorney Chandler were injured. For the full details we must rofer our readers to the report in another column. The building where the disastrous calamity occurred is an old structure, built some time in the days of the Revolution. It is almost rotten and sod- den with age. The timbers that supported this floor were worn out, warped and rickety with time and decay. It may have been pride in the old Capitol as a landmark rather than neglect or parsimony that prevented its do- struction long ago and the erection of a new Capitol building, but such a crowd as thronged its floors yesterday should never have been permitted to trust their weight on its sodden timbers, ‘The Democratic State Convention. The Democratic Convention mot in Roches- ter yesterday, and after a short and quite har- monious session nominated Sanford E. Church for Chiet Justice of the Court of Appeals and Charles A. Rapallo, Martin Grover, William F. Allen and Rufus W. Peckham as associate judges. The election is of the more interest as it will be the first under the new judiciary article of the constitution reorgan- izing the Court of Appecls. The ticket itself is one of unusual strength, and is com- posed altogether of men far above sus- picion, and not altogether given over to politics. The nomination of Mr. Church is, besides, a substantial return to that gentle- man for his disappointment at the National Democratic Convention of 1868, where he was among the favorite New Yorkers pressed for the Presidential nomination. Mr. Rapallo is well known as one of the feading lawyers of this city, and Judge Peckham is similarly classed in Albany, although neither of those gentlemen have allied thethselves to any great extent with politics. All are, no doubt, sound democrats, but the strong political element of the ticket lies in the prestige of Messrs. Church, Allen and Grover, who have been intimately known at all the democratic conventions of the State. The ticket isa good and sirong one, and, no matter who may be nominated on the other side, there isa decided prospect of its success. A Goop Tuare—The proposed Seamen's Exchange Building, to be erected in Cherry street, opposite the Sailor's Home, the plan of which embraces a business exchange office, library, reading and school rooms, an intelli- gence bureau, a savings bank and a hall for religious services, temperance meetings, &c. The best of all is that nearly the whole sum of money required—ninety thousand dollars—for this admirable institution has been raised, and that the managers of the fund are such men as Moses H. Grinnell, Edward Hincken, Moses 8. Beach, William E. Dodge and others of our most enterprising citizens in good works. It isa good thing, Jack, and we are sure you will before long be proud of it.

Gilbert, Wyndham and Fisher, and their rendering of their respective roles was characterized by that elezant finish, thorongh ap- preciation of each character and admirable biending of apparently irreconcilable elements into an narmo- nious ensemble, tor which Wallack’s ts famous, Miss Emily Mestayer was quite at home as the coquettish Widow Green, and Mr, Wyndham made an admira- ble Master Wildrake.
