‘4 NEW YORK SUN! THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. 22, 1860. fhe Brocktyn Forrke. ‘Tur Onion ET ua ag mat ‘force of public opinion. oe trouble, Things have net worked aa mmvesly sthey desired, and now they come forwant the character of men much misrepresanted, and whose disinterested efforts and great secrifioes to establish good ferry com manical fous, have never eolated by nn ungrateful com- nication to the Brook- papery ‘that the whole namber of stockholders, many of whom reside out of the city, is 508 ; that the managers, with one or two exceptions, have never had a large pecaniary interest in the ferry privileges; that some of them havo for yoars rendered gratuitous service solely to pro. mote commodious and cheap c.mmunication, and that thir chief object in consolidating the ferries was to make the large pro its of the Fultoa Ferry available for sustaining other lines of communication at a uniform rate of one cent for foot passen Tania very plausible statement, but it will not deceive those familiar with the history and operations of the Union Ferry Company, It is qoll known that the managers, ‘‘ with one or two exceptions,” do not hold a large amount of the steck, and that ‘‘the one or two exceptions” really conatitute the Company, 90 far as the di- rection of its affairs and the shaping of its policy are concerned, ‘Then as to the pretence that the act of cin- Solidation was effeeted for the purpose of main- taining @ one cent fare on all the ferries, we must say that isa remarkable picce of effront- ery. Scarcely had the ferrier been consolidated ander one mansgement, before the scheme of increasing the rates manifested itself, The fates on the principal ferries were doubled, the fesuing of commatation tickets ceased, in viola~ tion ofan oxpress agreement in the loase, and the most haughty indifference was displayed by the Company to every argument, expostula- lation and complaint made by an aggtieved public. It is unnecestary, however, to detail the acts of the ‘‘ Consolidated” Company. They are too Qeoply impressed upon the minds of the thou- sands of poor men, mechantes and working girls who for soveral yours have felt the burdens of tho “consolidated” polley. But the managers, {mn the defence and explanation prescnted since their failure to obtain « renewal of their lease upon thoir own terms, make a noteworthy con- fession, They say: More recently, the receipte of the Company have pointed to @ reduction of the existing rates, and the only obstecie to this bas been the uncertalaty as toe renewel of the leeacs now hold ; the value of their oats and fixtures Copending upon the eotinuance of the several forries under one orgentration, and the ‘expiration at one time of the various loans, Why was this confession not made when thoy applied fur a renewal of their lease? Why, if their receipts pointed to # redaction of the ex isting rates, did they seek a lease guarantecing to them the present rates fur ten y ears to Co! What confidence can the pablic have in » C m- peny that de.ls so falsely with it? But, for sooth, the Company now propose, if guaranteed agatnst loes, and anow lease granted to them, to redwee the fare of the foo! passengers to ono ent, atany time withn six months, This ie accol proposition, but a far better one is for the Cities of New Yurk and Biooklyn to ge: rid of the Consolidated Company altogether, ‘Tux people are becoming intenzely disgusted wi'h the irvational and unpatriotic course pur. sued by their representatives in Congress, The foquacity of membors is beyond all endurance, But for the deluge of talk, the unwise recrimi- nations, atd ill-natured references to things that belong to the pest, an organization of the Honte might lave been effected before this time. The manner in which members expose one another's inconsistencies would be amusing, if the exhibiticns were not humiliating to the country. We do not pretend to decide which party in the House is most to blame. Tho Republicans have presented a candidae for Speaker who is shown by the ballots to be objectionable to a majority of the members, but they stubbornly adhere to him, determined, if possible, to win « pure party triumph, ‘Ihe Democrats have shown far loss uvity of feeling, and have con- sumed too much time in talking. The South Americars, and the few who call themselves “* independent,” finaing that they hold the bal- ance of power, are impracticable, and air their rhetoric and vaunt their hostility to the Ad- minketration in the most se.f satisfied manner, ‘The right time for Congress to pans judy. ment upon the Adminis'ration and its acts Ws after the organization. It has duties to dis- charge to the whole country, and to those it should hasten, and not waste the public time in oontroversies that produce only evil, If the first Congress had been composed of such men as ate now assembled at Washington, the Union would not bave heen formed, Politicians, Lot patriots ate our representatives now, aud the people must hereafter elect men of a different stamp if thoy would allay the sectional strife which is fomented and maintained to promote party aud personal ends.
