R Consin, President Giana’s brother-indaw, om the subject of the financial polley of the Administration. In this article, which ap. peared in the Times of Ang. 25, and was re printed in BE SUN yesterday, it is explicitly said, over and over again, that there would be no further sales of gold by the Treasury until after the year’s crops had been brought Advertisements in Sex t hidden away in the *, | that the advantages prod the gift of part of the State domain, and other privileges, for the public benefit, and that Government supervision would secare grent erbenefit to the public than that Which i now realized. But there are many who can fee no advantage In the proposed change Those who oppose «uch a plan as that which Senator CARPENTER anggests, oppose iton the ground that it tends to acentraliza tion of power in the Genernl Government; | for it would | not reanlt from its adoption ; and that, on the vontrary, the evils would be greater than those which now exist. Th fay, in brie! that we have government enough already, It seems certain that, in any event, some action must be taken before long, by whieh railroads shall be run for the good of the people, as well as for the profit of a few rich men oo The Lesson of a Skeleton. On a rainy day last week «human skeleton wae discovered in the attic of the houre 387 Canal street, in this city, It was that of aman, ‘The bones were blackened from the effects of time, and were crushed together and shat up in an old tin boiler. Tt was thought that a mnrder had been committed, and that these were the remaina of the victim. The bones were taken to the Morgue, viewed by a coroner's jury, and buried No one knew how they had come to be in the attic ; but a rnmor eame to the are of the police that « party of medical stu dents had once occupied that part of the house, and it was concluded that theee old bones were those of one of their subj fact, there was not sufficient informat allow of any other conclusion, But the skeleton was not that of @ mur derer’s victim, but of a murderer himself, A gentleman, who representa himself as # physician, has written a letter in which an explanation is offered of how it eame to be there, He says that many years ago a Por: tuguese named Ropnicunz, was executed here for the murder of a woman in an ex tH, they eatried their of our national right# as near as they dared to the point of landing their cable without permission, only desisting and resorting to negotiations when they found the landing was to be forcibly prevented ; and they deserve no favors, as Mr. Gree.ey having formally withdrawn frou the canvass for the Virginia Senatorship, inquirer and Kraminer calls npon the Legine to elect Mr, Cusntas O'Coxon, of this city This prop its boldness to that of the Richmond Whig in bringing forward Mr. Greener, but in quality the two men are entirely unlike. Mr. Greener belongs to the new age, Mr. O' Conon to that which has gone by. Mr. Gunerey is a Radical, Mr, O'Coxor an old fogy. Mr, Ganevey is a journalist, with the comprehen. sive, many sided culture, the varied information, and the universal range of ideas required for emi- nence in that profession; Mr. O’Coxon is a law- yer, with the exclusive devotion to legal prinet- ples and the intense concentration of mind upon a single object which characterize the great legist and advocate, Mr. Gureney has always been # sort of free lance in politics, bearing the Whig or the Republican hammer, but sometimes turning his blows upon the blockheads of his own party ; Mr. O' Coxon has been reckoned a Democrat, but his democracy has gone immensely ahead of his Party in its adherence to class privileges and its thorough conservatism, Mr, Greeuey t# alw inspired by a profound sentiment of human rights and a love for humanity in general; Mr. O'Coxou believed in slavery, and still regrets ite abolition, But we suppose that of these distin. guished gentlemen the one ix just as unlikely to be Senator from Virginia as the other, Indeed, we suppose it is doubtful whether Mr. O'Conon, if elected, would be able to take the iron-clad oath which will certainly be exacted of every one Who presume himself at the Senate door as a re tive of the Ancient Dominion, a Nothing shows the imperfect education ha wong wo tly fall into whe y discuss po- For meeting of y's Suffrage Association on Wedq- day, Mrs, Nontox, one of the very t=40rs of the tion in equal i its of mind which are now en, more than the blunders th and the inaceurs mon they cons! ceptionally atrocious manner, ‘The bones are those of this Ropnieurz, After the exe. ‘onian tho body was brought to ee House In Canal #treot 1 uissecuon. “Phe writer was at the time a student of medicine, and aided to dissect the body.

Mr. BronLow interpolated a sen tener, to the effect that gold might neverthe- less he paid out in dircet exchange for bonds, and this nee entirely destroyed the in. tended effect of the article, which was to give people the Impression that no supply of gold would be forthcoming from the Government for some woeks to check « rise in its price It seems clear that anybody who had influ nee enough to get such an article from Mr Gonmix’s pen into the Zimes at all, would also be uble to seriously annoy Mr. BiorLow {n retaliation for his spoiling it, and may bave been 80 powerful as to compel him to resign his place. Another question asked is whether the ar. tele in question is what President Grant had in mind when, according to the state- ment of Mr. Conpin’s friends nb. lished in the Krening Post of Mon Mny, he told Mr. Jay Gounp that all he had tw eay on financial questions was om braced in an article in the 4s, to which he referred him? Did tho President meau the article as was printed hy Mr, Broetow, or the article as Mr. Connin wrote it? Besides, how came Conn to write it? And how came the President to say to Mr. Jay Gounp that it set forth a financial policy of the Government’ ‘There is evidently a mystery to be cleared up he as well as in reference to the contents or’ tl letter which the messenger of Messrs, GouLD and Fisk carried from Mr. Connin to the President, and delivered to him in person at Washington, Pa Will Mr. Groner Jones, the intelligent publisher of the 7iaes, who must thoroughly understand this mystery, inform the public of all that he knows about it? And as the Tinea is a paper of Vimited circulation, will he please send his communication direct to Tur Sunt It shall be printed without in terpolations or alterations, — Are Railroads to Rule tet Senator Canventen, in a speech made last week at the State Fair in Ma Wisconsin, called attention to the rcout de cisions of the high of the tates on the law of railroads. He expressed alarm at the growth of these monopolies, and regret that the peopl the country should be deprived of so much henelt that they could derive from them an ent system of manageme it ison, t courts in sea rad fer Since railroads were first introduced, thore has been a great change » theory on which their franchises are sought from the Btates, Formerly, the ground of these ap. plications that vallronds were public highways, and under the control of the | was Bislature as fully as other Inghways, Now railroads are held to be the property of pri vate corporations, and the companies are abject to legislative rvision no pore than other private corporations. This is the tendency of the law in almost all th: The most recent decision is one by the Su Preane Court of lowa, “It is to be remembered a States Whiel it is said that railway corp Lome ure not orcaulaed for the purpose ut devel he a'erial prosperity of the Muites {his baa-aeo= LE UNS Leese Tfe, But they re organized Mraz to take money tor thelr stock Solder, aid the Legislature has no more power over thetr property and rights than it has over the Jike property una ri Private corporusions. There are very few railroad companies which are not monopolies; and the number is becoming fewer und fewer every year, The power which rich corporations and combina tions of rich corporations are able to exert is elready seriously felt in this and other Btates ; and few questions of greater impor tance will present themselves to the coming plateeman than that of the control and ad. ininistration of the railroads of the country Mr. CakreNTER strongly advocates pla- cing all the railroad companies iu the Union under the control of the Federal Govern. mont, He argues that such a step would free hte of uatural persons or other ‘the railroad system from confusion, which | privilege to land a cable having been graut- would follow attempts at legislative control by the diferent States, He thinks that Con- reas is warranted in assuming such power by the Constitutional provision for the regu- opportunity to dry them, they were throw into the boiler and forgotten, All this is interesting, and explanatory of the rather startling discovery ; but the writer of the letter does not stop here, He tells us that the day of the execution was intensely cold; that the body lay away in store four hours and # half exposed to this cold; and that, after this, when the dissection came to he made, the heart of the murderer waa still pulsating. Is not this a remarkable case? And docs it not illustrate the careless way in which matters relating to death and the disposal of bodies after death are often managed ? Tt is usually regarded as proper that the bodies of hanged criminals should be place atthe disposal of the dissector and stud ut of anatomy, But when this is done, they should go only to institutions of good stand- ing, not to private persons ; and only accord ing to the rerulated method of requisition by the proper officers upon the Sheriff, ‘The physician whowe letter we have mentioned frankly says that he does not know why the body of Ropnievkz was not sent to the Col. lege of Physicians and Surgeons; but it foes rather strange that he docs not know, sinee he remembers so many of the other cir cumstances. If the Sheriff of Now York once disposed ofa body in this manner, though aver fifteen years ago, may not some Sheriff have done How do we know what has be come of the bodies of other murderers ¢ It may be said that few of us care; but, surely, it Is not pleasant to think that if we went up into the garret and searched around we should as likely as not find a murderer's skeleton in @ tin boiler, ‘Then, too, is it customary to hang murder- ers so that four hours and a half after they down the heart will be found still beating? There are many cases of hanging in which the neck is not broken ; and then, if the heart continued to beat, as did that of Ropiiaceg, it might not be impossible to re. suscitate the culprit, The revelations of this doctor's letter may well lead to a doubt whether there are not hanged murderere alive today, #o pince ? are cut —— Trench Telegraph Cable—Reci- procity Denied to Americans. When the subject of permitting the French Atlantic Telegraph Company to land their cable on our shores was before the Secretary of State last summer, Tne SUN pointed out 'y clearly-first, that Congress alone had the right to grant the permission asked for; and secondly, that even Congress ought not to grant it without previously securing from The ve France a corresponding privilege of landing Aierienn enables on the French coast, Oy by the Pre ceretary Fisu undertook to. stipulate provisiovally with the French Company that our Govern. ment would not interfere with their opera- that Americans should 1y usimilar favor in France, The Com- pany excented an agrooment to that effeet and the cable was accordingly suffered to be completed. As we demonstrated at that time, this stipulation was a trick and a delusion, be- cause the French Government was not a par ty toit, ‘There was nothing in it to compel that Government to allow) the landing of an American cable in France, whatever the present cable company might say. Our views have proved to be just. Americana Lave applied for permission to land a cable on the French const, and have been refused, ‘The application was signed by a number of responsible American gentlemen, — T! amount necessary to be deposited on re: ceiving the anthorization was — ten: dered, aud all the usual forms were vomplied with. The reply reecived from the Minister was to the offect that an exclusive ruled, it is said, ent, tions on condition ed to MM, ExLancer and Revren, of whom the present French Company aro the asvign- ces, the request could not be granted, It now remains to be seen whether our Tation of commerce between the States.

Eowano J. xo, D.

Antuony, the proprietor of the paper, replies that they shall have it without money and without price, and that “it hi always been woman's highest pleasure to build up the chureh,"” On general principles we object to giving away newspapers to theological seminaries; aud we think it is rather mean to address to their publishers such appeals as that of the Rev, Dr. Young to Miss Axruony, Ifthe divinity students at Cambridge can’t afford to subseribe for the journals necessary to their education, it would be better fur the Rey, Dr, Youxa to go to the rich pillars of the Unitarian Chorch in Boston, and ask them to put up a couple of thousand dollars year for the Divinity School to buy newspapers with, Why should a clever, kind-hearted old maid like Miss Axtnony, who is struggling to muke a competency for herself and to propagate the ideas of the woman's movement, be called on for a donation of three dollars to the se 1, when there are so many Unitarian millionaires in Boston who ought to pay it¥ Miss Axtitoxy does well to vend her paper to those inchoate ministers for nothing rather than not send it at all, She may thas convert them all into faithful partisans of woman's suffrage; and she knows that the least the young fellowa can do when they are settled over parishos, yitl be to advise all their parish- joners to subscribe for the A:roluéion, But all that is nct a sufficient exeuse for Dr, Youna's begging letter to her.
