Times has a leader on ** The Principles of Free Government,” protesting carnestly and plausibly against a perpetual barring out from Congress of the representatives of the States lately in rebellion. Of the barring-out policy, it forcibly says: ““Certainly, no man of lnlelllieneo can delude himsel! into the belief that this theory is in harmony with the fundamental rinciples of our Governient, or fail to see that it strikes a eatt-blow at the fundsmentil principle of all represcntative government, of whatever form. If there is anytling fuada- mental in free institutions, it is the principle that all States and all people that are required to obey the laws, shall be represented in the Congress which makes them, A goverament which denies or discards this principle is a desporism—we core not what may be its form, nor under what pretext it may cloak its tyrauny. Unless tbis is true, then the whole theory of free institutions, of sellgoverument, of reprasentative republics, i a choat aud o shaw.” —1It is a joy to see that, whenever we rise above the dust excited by the noisy hates and strifes and antipathies of the passing hour, iuto the clear azure of Priuciple, the grave problems that seemed so difficult are seen to settle themselves. There is no need of compromise, nor of treaty, nor of make- weight: it is not principle, but the absence of principle, that renders one or all of these necessary. “If there is anything fundamental in free insti- tutions,” well says The Times, *it is the principle that all States and all people that are required to obey the laws shall be represented in the Congress that makes them.” True! most true! Why, then, cannot perfect harmony be forthwith restored to our country, by the general adoption and application of this most righteous principle?’ We are for it; our frieuds very generally desire nothing better: if the “Conservatives” are prepared to meet the “ Radicals” on this solid ground of fundamental principle, we may have perfect and lasting coucord at once, Let us ascertain who refuses—who holds back—for they are the real disunionists, the real perpetuators of “gectional” batred and anarchy. Is The Times ready to pledge itself to a hearty aud consistent support, without condition or reservation, of this great, comprehensive principle? The Scandivavian Society, whose “‘objects are entirely benevolent, charitable and literwry,” and which has 160 members, with $2,000 i bank, assures the Board of Exciso that it cannot live unless its landlord is allowed to sell its members grog. We beg I o think better of this literary and benevo- lent institution than it scems to thiuk of itself.

Onr oxisting roads have cost, we will say Two Hundred to Two Hundred and Twenty-five Millions They could not be constr 1 to-day cent less than Three Hundred Mill But, were all brought under the hammer to-morrow, they would not bring over One Hundred and Twenty- five Millions.

It seems clear to us that our present restrictions on Railroad fare—not merely that on the Central especially, but the general restriction as well—will | have to be given up or greatly modified—and the | capitalists now involved in railroads, with as many | more as can be drawn in, virtually told—** Take hold r the best of them; make the roads, and charge o liviug price for their use. You | may not be able to make them profitable directly; | but, as feeders to your trunk lines, they will pay, if | built and run economieally, while these who use them pay fairly for the accommodation they afford.” In other words: There must and will be at least a thousand miles more of Railroads constructed in our State within the next ten years; and the practical question is—** Shall they be paid for by those who nse them, and by the main lines which will profit by them ! or shall half their cost be saddled on the whole people, by means of State aid, town and county bonds, &c.1 Shall Westchester, Queens, Rennsselaer, St. Lawrence, &c., &c., be taxed in order to provide Chenango, Sullivan, Ulster, Warren, Essex, &e., &c., with railroad transportion at half its cost? Or shall we encourage the capitalists now embarked in railroads to provide the requisite facilities in such manner as not to swell our mountain of State debt and taxation?” ‘Without reproach to the good and true men who disa- gree with us, we shall sustain and urge that policy which promises to keep down our State Debt and put the cost and risk of making new railroads on those whom they will more especially beneiit. Such are some of the grounds on which it seemed to us best that the Central fare bill should have been signed, and on which we shall urge future Legislatures to remove or modify the general restriction on Railroad fures, and in every feasible way cherish aud encour- age the Railroad interest in our State. THE APPREHMENSION CHOLERA. The eommunication of Gov. Fenton to the Board of Health, wherein he expresses his approval of their judgment in regard to the imminence of the peril from pestilence in this city, and the expediency of their exercising sach power as may be necessary to protect its inhabitants, will be found in another column, That the Board should be empowered to act as they think the emergency requires, is just and proper; and the Governor, in responding to their wishes, has shown his usual vigor aud prompt- ness. It would be a grave mistake, however, to ac- cept either his act or that of the Board aé, in the slightest degree, an evidence of undue anxiety or . One of the morning journals Las been en- deavoring for several days past, in a characteristic way, to excite a panie. There is not only not the slightest ground for it in fact, but such & courso is senseless and crnel in the extreme. The class which reads the journal in question is just that in which, from its habits and locality, the cholera is most likely to make its first lodgment, and where, if a pre- disposition to the disease existed, it could be easily superinduced by fright. The startling appeals of The Herald are like ingenious incitements to an infuriated mob—calculated to produce the very results they socm only to deprecate, The proposals of the Board of Health and the Governor, on the contrary, should Wl W b hlr s s w LUy bid rather than cheap | ms of dollars leave Wall-st, | profit, in building new rail- | will, satisfy $ho community that the danger, seen afar off, is to be promptly and wisely met, and, if possible, averted. At this'moment the city is perfoetly bealthy. There is neither cholera among us nor any unusual predisposition to the disease. The Board of Health Lasdono and is still doing an immense amount of work to purify the city, and with the new powers which they are now u‘mxt to exercise, probably no large city in the Union will be better prepared for the coming of the epidewic, or more likely to escape from ¢ visitation, even if it does not escape al- together. When the cholera broke out here in 1849, in the filtbiest and most insalubrious spot in the city, and several porsons fell victims to it, the locality was immediately and thoroughly cleansed, and not another case oceurred thers, The fact speaks volumes. What the authorities then did in the presence of the pesti- lence, the Board of Health is now doing in anticipa- tion and in the most thorough manner. Everything is to be hoped from these sauitary measures, and if the epidemic is not altogether baflled from the im- possibility of its finding a lodgment, it is absolutely cortain that it must be mitigated. In the mean time there is not now the slightest danger. To endeavor to create a panic is not ouly a foolish and wicked im- position upon tho ignorant, should it succeed, but is a positive injury to the business of the city by keeping strangers away from it. Nothing is easicr than to create o groundless apprebension abroad, and it would be a very serious evil to produce an impression that there is any existing danger among us. There positisely is none. Our readers at a distance may be assured of this, They know that this paper never willfully deceives anybody, wsnd they may rest assurod that while we shall neither now nor at any future time permit our columns to be used to excite undue alarm, we shall give the earliest and the most accurato report of the existence and the extent of the epidemic if it shall ever visit us. We aro as free from it or from any immediate fear of it to-day as we havo been any time the last fifteen years, and the Board of Health is taking the wisest and most effective measures to prevent its coming. In the presence of these we are actually in much lass danger than six montbs ago when the diseaso existed on Ward's Island, and then, as now, was on board a single ship at Quarantine, Let there be an end to this senseless apprehension and more reliance upon facts and common sens a B GERMANY, The advices from Europe by the City of Boston, which are one day later than those referred to in our issue of yesterday, bring the report that Prussia de- with the demand of Austria for the { her army.

W propose to deve ngth from the ad ch, in many 'y, swination of the Tax-Levy for the City, and to t to our tax-payers the work accomplizhed for and reform in this respect by the it have been #o many persons interested in swelling the taxes of our City—so many creatures 1 corruption—so many desirous of stuffing schemes of plunder to enrich bave been so many greenbacks fror 5 City to Albany by our corrupt officials 1sed when othoer reasons failed—that it is matter that the Citizens' Association, with no is o farce. To one visiting Alb last days of the past s cials of our City were paid for atten Albany instead of New-York the heads of departments to the lowest clorks, seemed to be there; each pushing big thefts and little thefts, and all trying to make the Tax-Levy as burdensome as possible for our good peaple, and to leave large holes in it through which our municipal rulers could plunder to their hearts' content. But our people owe much to the Citizens' Association. While the Tax-Levy any from this City during the sion, 1t appeared as if the offi- ng to duties i ity Government were under consideration in the Legislature, this Association was always on the ground, working night and day, through its able ad- voeates, and striving, with All the zeal, industry and capacity it possessed, to protect the almost defeuse- less people of this City sgainst the perpetration of tho ruinous rule of their municipal masters. There was plenty of work for it to do; and the Citizens' Association has done its work well. When- ever a City robber endeavored to have inserted in the Levy some old claim that had been lying dormant for years, it was ever on the alert to checkmate the move. It was active, persevering, energetic, always ready to thwart corruption. Through its instrumen- tality and intercession, some of the biggest thefts that had ever disgraced the City Tax-Levy--which had crept into it in its passage through the Assembly— were stricken out, and thus the tax-payers are saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in the way of bogus friends by its persistent and successful efforts in the cause of reform, on the other hand we know it has made many bitter enemies in the persons of nearly all the rogues, sharpers, drones, and thieves, who feast and fatten upon official plander in our City. Trae, the Tax-Levy, as it now comes to us, is not all it should be—is not all we could wish it to be. True, we still see here and there the devil's horns and the devil's hoofs, notwithstanding the subtle efforts at concealment. Baut, in this as in other matters of this life, we must be content with good more or less mixed with evil. The progress which has been made in the right direction gives us courage to hope that, in the future, further steps may be taken to check the iniquities of our officials The seed which has been sown in this present Tax-Levy will undoubtedly pro- duce in the fullness of time the proper fruit. To be sure, it has been o diflicult matter to pin our City Fathers down to certain sums of money for particular purposes, and to so fetter them as to prevent their creating debts in excess of the appropriations. And at one time, while the Tax-Levy was in its transition state, it seemed as if the task were hopeless. But, thanks to pluck, energy, perseverance and right, in spite of the rogues in the Legislature and out of it-— thanks to the Citizons' Association—the work has been done. To be sure, all this required money, time aund talent; but we have evidence of what right can do, if properly supported, when we state that not one dollar was used in the cause of reform that cannot be honor- ably accounted for—not one cent was spent to im- properly influence the vote of any man. Everything has been done openly and abovejboard. After making the usual appropriations for the seve- ral customary heads of expenditures, the City Tax- Levy contains the following two scctions (9 and 10), prepared aud datioducad bv the Qligons" dssociativi a little space this morning to —for every officer, from | minority subject to legal persecution because of their and other matters caleulated to produce reform in our | claims.

There were | ¢y, 4 rd, has been able to accomplish half a dozen “f”"“‘ m re onr late Legisla- 50 much in the way of retrenchment, and of protecting ture; there will be xty there | e tac.parers from the schemes of officials who have will be thirty three years hence: the Veto | yinerto justified the assertion that the Tax-Levy | | | Southern Legislatures had enacted codes for the pro- | arson, or robbery, or to attempt to commit either of which are calcnlated to stop effectnally the greatest loop-holes in our Municipal Government, through which our official rogues haye been accustomed here- tofore to drive at random: lh"t‘:;nfll !Lfl'l'he said ;-un} ;ul:l shall be af (s @ objects and purposes for which the same are herel priated; and nehhm-m corporation, nor any board, depart- ment, officer or agent thereof, shall incur any liability, or wake any contract or contraots, o permit or vote for, or authorise, directly or indirectly, any expenditare or expoaditures for un{ of the objects and purposes specified, the aggregate of whic! expenditires, and of the liabilities noder such contracts, shall wxceod the sum appropriated for said purpose, or for any other purpose or object than that berein specifled, **BEC, 'be Mayor, Aldermen and Commonaity of the | City of New-York shall not be lishle upon any contract made for expenditures authorized or liability incurred by any board, department, or officer of said oognnuon, for any object or purpose which i3 not expressly authorized by this act, nor for any contract made, or expenditure authorized, or liability incurrod, by any bosrd, department or officer of said corpora- tion for any objuct or purpose named in this Act, boyond the amount appropriated to such specific object or purpose; and noindlmnnl in aetions upon contract shall be entered by de- fault or otherwise in any Court against said corporation, ex- cept upon proof in open’ Court that the amount sought to be recovered in nlfld{xdmnnt still remains unexpended in the City Treasury to the credit of the appropriation to the specl- fied ohject or purpose upon which the claim sued for is founded; and in case it shall appear, by the defendant's proof. that other liabilities bave been incurred by work doue for said corporation or any department, board,” member, officer or rgont theroof, under any contriot, exptess or implied, the amount of which liabilities, together with the claim soed upon, shall exceed the sum appropriated by this Act for the purpose in and about which said claim and liabilitles arose, no Judgment shall be rendered in the plaintiffs’ favor ia such ac- tion." When we state that these sections will stop the nefarious system of obtaining judgments against the City, and that in 1864 those judgments amounted to £1,200,000, and in 1565 to $500,000, it will be seon how vast and how sweeping a reform is here intro- duced. At onoe time, it seemed as if these sections were doomed to destruction. They were in the Levy as it passed the Senate, and the Chairman of the Assembly Committee (Brandreth) assured the reprosontatives of the Citizens’ Association that the Committee intended, in this respect, to report the Levy back to the Assem- Dbly asit had come from the Senate. But, lo! and bebold! the majority of the Assembly Committee roported the Levy, big with many a steal and shorn of all tho sections calculated to produce Municipal reform; and it was only after herculean efforts, through a Conference Committeo—a majority of whom were the right men in the right place—that these sections were re-introduced and the Levy passed in its present form. We ehall take another occasion to criticise the con- duct of Mr. Brandreth in relation to the New-York Tax-Levy. A great deal of good has been done the City of New-York, in spite of all his efforts to pre- vent it. Before leaving this subject we must acknowledge, in bebalf of our tax-payers and houest citizens generally, irrespective of party, our great indebtedness to the Hon. Edmund L. Pitts, member of Assembly aud a | member of the Committee on Cities, for the manly, noble and honorable course he pursued on every oc- casion to protect us against the schemes of our municipal robbers. If there was one man in the Assembly who has endeared himself to our citizens, one man whose name is cousidered a synonym of honor and integrity, that man 1s Mr. Pitts. When others faltered, he faltered not; when others sat list- less or dumb, he was outspoken for the right; and perhaps it is to Mr. Pitts more than to any mem- ber of the Assembly that we owe the retention of the precautionary aud preventive sections of the Tax- Levy. It wasmore thanfortunate for our people that the Citizens' Association found in him a gentleman so zealous, capable and honest in the canso of reform. We know the people of this City will hail with de- light his reélection to the Assembly or his elevation to the Senate; for it is by such men in the Senate and in the Assembly, and not by those members chosen at | her own polls,that our City has been saved from pecu- | lation and barefaced robbery to the extent of more | than Oue Million of Dollars, —_— “Q L BIGHTS” IN DIXIE, Mr. A. H. Stephens is credited with s sensible re- mark in saying that the passage of the Civil Rights | bill over the veto would have a beneficial influence at the Sonth by convineing the white people down that way of the purpose sud the power of Congress. What “my policy” has utterly failed to do, the resolute good sense of Congress will eventually effect. The South needs to be convineed that it is defeated—a fact which it well understood when Lee surrendered, | but which Mr. Johnson ha: since done his best to per- suade his new friends to forget. We do not believe | any Reconstrnetion possible which is based on the | assumption that a white traitor is better than a loy: black, or that political rights denied to the latter may oly be conceded to the former. Still less do we | believe in a Reconstruction which would leave a loyal | ied ovly to loyalty, and without protection for life, liberty or property. The President stated in a recent message that the | tection of the freedmen—hence the needlessness of any Freedmen's Bureau or Civil Rights bill. Here is @ specimen, lately come to light—being Section 4 of an | act passed by the Mississippi Legislature just before | ite adjournment—to show what sort of protection they | think the freedmen require: “ Be it further enacted, That all the pena) and eriminal laws now in force in this State, defining offonses and preseribing the modes of punishment for crimes and misdemeanors com- mitted by slaves, free negroes, or mulattoes, be and the same are heroby redoncted, and doclered to be in full force and effect, against freedmen, free negroes, and mulattces, elrvnm far as the mode and manner of trial and punishment have been changed or altered by law.” The * mode and manner of trial and punishment” have been, in fact, very little chang 1 for the better with respect to the freedmen by any Stato legislation. There wersa but four acts passed concern- ing the freedmen, and some of those were so outrageously wicked that even President John- son felt called upon to interpose and direct the officers of the Freedmen's Burean to disregard them totally. But there were many acts of which the President took no notice. Distinctions in penalties remained. 1f a white man committed a crime, be had one punishment; if a black man committed a crime, he had another and severer punishment. It is punish- able with death for a negro to commit a murder, rape, them. Only one of the crimes is capital when o white man is the offender, and for the attempt the white is never punishable with death. It has been | well said, that in Mississippi ** the white murderer almost universally escapes scot free, and is even ap- planded for his display of chivalry, while the negro is hung if there is & reasonable suspicion that he at- tempted to commit murder, arson, rape, orrobbery. | A white ruffian is at liberty to ravish as many colored : women a3 he can, with impunity.” | Under the same act the slave received twenty lashes if absent from his plantation without a pass; thirty- nine lashes for buying or selling without permission; is punished for congregating at night or for holding schools; and has his ears cut off for fulse witness, These penalties are all reénacted against the freed- men, and they stand to-day unrepealed on the statute book of Mississippi. Was there no need for the Civil Rights bill ? Suppose we try Tennessee, the model State which has produced a Moses for the colored race. In a case not a fortnight old we find & negro woman arrested by R. W. Bond, a justice of the peace in Shelby County, on the complaint of Ben Boyd, who charges ber with an assaalt. The chivalrous Ben testifies that Laura is in his employment; that on a certain day he ordered her to go to work; that she refused on account of illness, and started to find her husband. The rest, Mr. Ben Boyd shall tell in his own words: ** 1 started to intercept her and bring her back. After a fow bundred yards run I overtook her; took hold of her, She struck mo two blows with Ler fist. At this time fatler came up, and Ileft ber in his charge and erossed the fence to cut & limb to fight with; returned and told her if fighting was hor hand to wade in. and she would have a white man's chance, She refased to fight any more, and T gave her a sound thrush adae S50 AL0 FUiUsued 1 bev Bouss kud L) WD 400 VEV A hen ahe loft my bouse, aad T Ty (o e ioen s 77 e Reed B And for her folly _in being sick and provoking Mr. Ben. Boyd to give hor a sound thrashing, **'Squire Bond " fined the negro woman two dollars and cost of court. That is Tennesses justice according to Andrew Johnson, and minus the Civil Rights bill, The case is a very mild one, but it serves to illustrata the spirit which presides over the unreconstructed Justices' Courts, If we had had all the Rebel States in Congress, according to Mr. Johnson's policy, the Civil Rights bill defeated, a3 it would have been, and justice administered under the Mississippi cods and Tennessee peactice, what a blessed thing freedom would have proved to the blacks ! MANUFACTURERS GI TEN.FOLD VALUE TO FARMS. McQueen's statistics of the wealth and sonual in- come of England showed: 1. That the value of the soil devoted to agrioulture comprehended, at that time, twenty-six forty-thirde of the total wealth of the Kingdom. I That the value of England’s agricultural soil was nearly 12 times greater than ber whole capital in- yested in manufactures and commerce. IIL That the money employed in her agrioulturs comprehended more than ghree-fourths of the capital of England. IV. That the manufacturing and commercial capi- tal of England, including her ships, constituted bu about one-eighteenth of her national wealth. V. That the agricultural capital of England, which was then £3,311,000,000, produced a gross inoome of 13 per cent; while the manufacturing and trading capital, which was Lut £213,000,000, yiclded yoarly & gross income of 120 per cent ! It is that magic capital of £213,000,000 invested in machinery, mills, furnaces, factories and mines which has swollen the farming capital of little England into that gigantic sum of 311,000,900, and made & British farm worth ten times as much as one in wheat- growing Poland—which only grows wheat, and buys goods instead of making them. The bulk of agrieu!- tural capital consists of land aud castle. The manu- factures of Great Britain have donbled and trobled hior population; have sustained her immense commercag built, equipped and manned her couutless ships; and thus directly and indirectly increased the demand {oe, and raised the price of, food and raw materials, and run up the value of her agricu!tural s0il to the grate of garden-ground throughout the kingdom. McQueen's exhibit of the immense profitablansss of manufacturing as a sourca of public aud privala wealth and of national power, while it should stimu. late every true American to demand of Parties and Administrations the fostering of hiscountry's industry, should penetrate every man who owns land by thy acre, aud particularly the owners of farms in the Mississippi Valley, with this vitally interesting truth, that * CAPITAL CSEPULLY BMPLOYED IN MANUFAG- TURES BY AN AGRICULTURAL NATION, IN TIME IN- CREASES THE VALUE OF THE SOIL TEN-FOLD.” A Report of a Select Committee of the British Parlisment ou Trade with Foreign Nations, published in July, 1864, contains some interesting testimony 3 to the systematic elJorts made by the forsign Ministers and Consuls of that Government to promoto the admission of British manufactures into other conatries, and to induce the repeal of hostile tariffs. This would seem to be the princtpal service expected from such oflicials, as representatives of a commorcial people. Leading manufacturers, both of England aud Scot- land, were examined by the Committee, and all of them complained that the Consuls abroad did not do their work zealously enough. Mr. Henry Ashworth, President of the Manchester Chambe! Commerce, was pacticularly Ioud in his complai It is these foreign tariffs that interrupt our English action and retard our success.” He bad headed a deputation to Lord Palmesston asking for redress. The sagacious old Premier met them with this argument: * Well, you know we haye nothigg to give; we have given all we can give; we have nothing now to give in repeal of duties, and we can- 1ot go to market with nothing to sell;” aud he iadi- cated to the deputation that it was impossible for them to look forwand to angthing like a reduction of tariffs from foreign countries, unless they themselves had somethivg to offer them in exchange. Mr. Milner Gibson, one of the Committee, and President of the Board of Trade, sail: ** All that we could ask by treaty, at the present time, secmed to bo the ‘favored nation’ clause, because, having mothing to offer ourselees, we could not ask that other countries should bind themselves to us o make certain tarif reductions.” In another passage, Mr. Gibson suggests that if England goes to a fo) country, and asks them to make certain reductions in their tarifl to promote English interests, they are apt to suspect that she asks it for her own purposes, and not wpon Free-Trade principles for the interests of the foreign country. Mr. Layard, another member of the Ministry and of the Committee, shows the true character of the French treaty of 1360 by the following pertivent question: *“Had we not a great deal to give to France in return for what she gave tous? Was not that tariff a matter of bargain and sale?” We commend these passages to the Froe-Trads League, and beg to know what guid pro quoe they have to offer, in behalf of their British subscribers, for the repeal of those “‘foreign tariffs which so interrapt the action and retard the suceess” of Eaoglish manufacturers. In a book just published by an ex-clerk, Jones, of the Rebel War Department, we read of one Baglor, Governor of Arizona, who sent an order to a military commander to assemble the Apache Indians under pretense of a treaty, and when they came, ‘‘to kill every man of them, and sell their children to pay for the whisky.” *This order,” says the elerk, ** was sent to the Secretary, who referred it to Gen. Sibloy,” who sent it back indorsed a true bill. It is just pos- sible that this chivalric demon may be still extant, and, to the disgrace of all fair-minded Southerners, among the reconstructed ! —_— The Express treats its readers to the following from The St. Louis Republican : “On the 10th inst. the Rev.
