I, Whatly, FOR PRESIDENT. co ey FARMERS’ AND MECHANICS’ CANDIDATE, THE GREAT AND GOOD USEFUL H. GREELEY, FORMERLY OF OREGON, — Grant's Contempt for Law. ‘The alarming outrage recently committed ‘at New Orleans by President Guant, through his brother-indaw and his other officeholders, Mough exceeding in audacity and in its menace to liberty everything before attempt ed in this country, is, after all, entirely in harmony with the general conduct of QKANT rince his accession to the Presideney The predominant cha ristic of his Ad ministration from the beginning until now is contempt of law. Immediately after the inauguration, Gen. GNANT appointed ApoLrim Bore of Phila delphia to the nominal position of Secretary of the Navy, at the en enssigning his own personal favorite, Admiral Davin D. Porter, to perfor tho real duties of the office, This involved both imposture and surpation, The President had no right whatever to intrust any naval officer with the power and authority of § tary of the Navy. ‘The act was one of contempt for law upon a great scale ; and it was persevered in until Mr. Bortr, who has some sensitive. ness, could Lear it no longer Another act, notorious they and since, in Gnant’s contempt for law bas been man fested, is the appointinent of Avoustts C. Porn as Assessor of Internal the Eiglith District of this city, Forp w an old crony of Gen, GRawi's, the Forp family having been connected with the Qnant family in various ways. The law re quires that every Assessor of Internal Rev enue must live in the district where hie office is; but Grant appointed Fonp, al though he knew at the time tliat he lived in Brooklyn; and though Foun still lives there, he is continued in oilice. Another unblushing outrage upon the Jaw is GRANT'#® maintenance of # military court at the White House. The law pro. vides that no military officer shal! be at tached to the household of the President, and expressly forbids any euch officer to per form the functions of any civil post. Never thelcas, President Grant has from the first kept about his person throe or four general and colouele, giving the mans on of the Chief Magistrate the appearance of a military headquarters. This also has involved im posture as well as a violation of law. ‘Kher Gfficers are sent to Congress with messages from the President, and in the official jour nal in which the proceedings of Congres are published they are spoken of, without their military titles, as priv. the President, when all the while it is note rious that they are « rs of the army dr tailed trom their proper duties to swell the court and perform the private Delcets of the raler, Had ANDREW JomNsoN committed any such violation of law, his corviction in the impeachment trial would have been cer: tain, and the whole country wou venue in secreta 1 have ae quiesced in ita justice. Atill moze glasing vivlation of law is GRAn1's interference in the evil war in San Domingo. Without any authority whatecer, he has directed the commanders of our nw tional versels in those waters to engage in acts of hostility against one of the parties in that cout st ; and under thse orders of his the armed forces of the United States have become active participants in such warfare Louis Naro.ton in the height of his power would not have dared to commit such an act of tyranny, or to manifest such contempt for the law of his empir With theac things the recent great crime at Now Orleans is simply consistent. It is of the same nature, It reveals the same spirit, It demonstrates that President Qnaxt knows no law but Lis own pleasure, and that he is ready to trample upon every restriction imposed by the Constitution and the statutes of the land, whenever they may wtand in the way of the selfish or absurd de signs which his thooghtless and obstinate fancy may Le led to adopt Smee A New Railroad from New York to Baluumore and Norfolk, While the most strenuous efforts are con. stantly made to bring to public notice the various roilway undertakings of the country some of them deserving of public support aud others proj 1 fur in advance of the wants of the community, an enterprise has been growing up unnoticed, ander our very eyes, Which promises results of great impor fave Mr. a lar county, N. J. Some Wintiam we tract of conceived the idea of a railroad from Raritan Bay to the Delaware river, which would become a trunk line to the South, and open that 1 New Jcrecy, then almost wilds ulout Lake Su Afwr twelve years a Tonuky, the land in Ocean possessor of tion of 6 uuknown os the rior much time and exertion this road was completed to Manchester, when it met with the violent opposition of the Camden aud Auboy Railroau, the managers of that rorperation fearing that it would form a new channel to Philadelphia, ‘The contest the Btate court which followed, both in of New Jersey and in Congress, is famili to ail, ‘Tho right was coneeded, bat the Company was raiucd, Tho first mortgage was foreclosed and the road and Ite franchises told, The purchasers were geveral well known capitalists of Boston, who proceeded to organize a new corporation under the Milo of the Now Jory Southern Railroad Cmpany. The line of constructed road at Hib time consisted of about eiguty miles of Wack, extending from the pier at Port Mon uth on Raritan Bay to Atco, a station om Camden and Auiantic Railroad, ranning tween Philadelphia gad Atlante City, In addition, the new Company owned tho spur from Long Branch to the main line, the Tome River spur, and a spur to Atco, In order to secure the Long Branch travel, which in the summer is very heavy, and in- creasing from year to year, the Sandy Hook Railroad was purchased and incorporated with the main trunk, large and commodious docks were constructed at Sandy Hook, and a new line of eighteen miles was built to con- nect with the Camden and Amboy Railroad at Pemberton, a good understanding with that Company having in the mean time been brought about. A new line was thus per. manently established between New York and Philadelphia, though not greatly to the ad. vantage of the public, as the rival companies agreed not to lower the charges for freight and passengers. This new line has, how: ever, been doing @ considerable freighting business between the two cities. But it is not the line between Philadelphia and New York which interests the commer. al men of this city,so much as the road now about to be made available, and which will open a new and entirely independent route to Baltimore and the South and West. With- in a week the Vineland Railroad, running from Atsion, the most southerly point on the New Jersey Southern Railroad, to Delaware Bay, fifty miles in length, has opened thirty miles of its line, and the remaining twenty miles will be completed to the Delaware by the first of October, Directly across the Del: aware, a short line known as the Smyrna and Delaware Bay Railroad is rapidly pro- xreesing, and will be completed within four months, From Smyrna the Maryland and Delaware, a completed road, runs in & gouthwesterly direction to Oxford and h Chesapeake, opening a rapid means of communication with Norfolk; aud from the same point, Smyraa, ® new rond will shortly be constructed across the peninsula of the Eastern Shore of Mary- laud, thirty-five miles, to the Chesapeake, opposiie Baltimore, which will bring Now York into communication with that city by a new and independent route. It is difficult to estimate the advantages which this route will afford to the lines south and west which centre at Baltimore, aud which, since the lease of the other New Jersey railroads to the Penueylvania Central, must have been alarmed lest they might be entirely deprived of egress to New York, or at least be greatly hampered in that di- rection We commend to our row rea little study of the maps of New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. Let them mark out this new route between New York and Norfolk and Paltimore, It is but eight miles longer than the shortest present line to Baltimore, and some hours nearer to Norfolk than any ex- isting or proposed route. In many projected lines of railway the question constantly arises whether New York is to be the objective point, or whether some other seaboard place may not gecure the treffic. In this case there can be no doubi, for we have a serica of local roads, form ng from their very location a grand tru:k line which is likely to prove remuner ative to its promoters, as well as exceed: ly Lencficial to the pal —— The Hudson Bay Company. An important crisis has recoutly taken place in this famous institution. About two years ago the Company sold, ostensibly tothe British Government, but rea) y to the Cana. dian Dominion, ite po.itical sovereignty and rights of territorial posseesion, The sum pad for this was millions sterling This moncy was divided by the stockholders in England among themselves, without any sbare being allotted to the agents of the Company in North America, by whom its business is mainly conducted, and upon whose fidelity its profits have always depend- ed. These agents are the so-called commis. sioned officers of the Company, the factors and traders by whom its sales of goods and purchases of furs are made, These officers depend for their remuneration upon tue divi dends of the Company's profite, They re- ceive no regular salary; but, although not stockholders in the ordinary sense, they have always received a certain stipulated share in the genera! dividend, just as though they lad held regular certificates of stock, When the two millions sterling received from the British Government came to be divided, no part of it was allotted to these gentlemen; though, as the sale of the land and the transfer of all political power in the territory involved @ great reduc tion in the Company’s apparent means of two profit, it was certainly only just that the factors and traders should receive each his proper share of this money. The failure of the Company to comply with their duty iu this particular was rendered more grievous by the fact that for three or four years past the ordinary business has done but little more than pay its expenses, if iudeed it has done as much as that Under these circumstances, the factors and traders of the Company were on the verge of revolt, and Mr, DonaLp Suru, the Governor in British America, went out to England some months since to procure an equitable settlement, Such a settlement has at laet been accomplished, The Company have agreed to pay to their officers a sum of alout $550,000, in consideration of the abandonment on their part of all claims for other indemnity, This settlement was agreed to by a ballot of the stockholders some four weeks since in London, The majority in favor of the settlement was very large. There can be no doubt that this octermination is a Mad tho ttockh erwise, they would have been exposed to the danger of a gen eral ety ke on the part of all their exporienced ore and t wise one. ders decidcd ders, and probably also to vexatious and costly laweuits on their behalf The cld arrangement between the Com pany and its ofticers has thus been tenminat ed, A new one will doubtless be gguade upon the basis of a guaranteed salary to every agent of the Company, with a contin gont share in such profits as may be earned ‘This will be altogether more fair and mor satisfactory than the old syster presume will enable the Company to continue and we its operations for many yenrs to come, Al- though civilization is soon to intrereh upon ite operat one in Manitoba, and must pr ently interfere with iis affaire in the valley of the Saskatchewan, there is etilt an tin menee territory in North America which must forever be given over to the frosts of winter, inhabited only by wild beasts and the few scattered tribes of aborigines who live by their capture. In this territory the Hudson Bay Company may, if judiciously managed, maintain in the future, as it ha maintained in the past, the only commercial establishment and the only centre for such trade as a frigid and inhospitable wilder- ness can afford; and this trade is the more profitable because it is comparatively exempt from competition. a Now will Justice be Done? The Coroner's Jury in the Westfield case have found that the managers of the Staten Island Company are responsible for the ter. riblo results of that explosion, They wero arrested yesterday, and gave bail to answer any indictments which the Grand Jury may find against them. The public would be glad to believe that the law will be enforced against men 60 wealthy and influential as those now ac- cused ; but it is difficult to expect that they will ever really be bronght to trial and con- victed, however clear the evidence against them may prove to be. Will District Attor- ney GANVIN see to it that justice is not de- frauded in this important matter? —_— . The Accounts Coming. We learn with satisfaction that the ac- counts of the city of New York are now being copied out in full tn order that they may be printed and published exactly as they arc upon the books of the Comptroller's office. As we are assured, every item is tobe exhibited precisely as it stands there. An accurate transcript is to be giveu, with nothing omitted and nothing changed. This is a proper thing, and it is especially to be regretted that it should have been with- held until the pressure of public opinion rendered it absolutely necessary. We trust, however, that while the authorities of the city are thus making a clean breast of all their transactions, they will also have the srood sense to lay before the public aclear and intelligible résumé of all these accounts, so that there may be no doubt and no dispute concerning their real nature and meaning, It is evident that it must be very difficult, if not altogether impossible, even for an expert in accounts to understand all the entries in the Comptroller's books unleas they are explained. In fact, without such expla nation the accounts as they stand, however minute and voluminous, can do little more than add to the existing confusion and un certainty, The effecta of this would be merely to strengthen the bad impression al- ready established reepecting the manage- ment of our finances. In such an event the people will only be too ready to believe that the whole publication Is merely an attempt to practise the mort elaborate mods of decep- tion under the pretence of publisLing the whole truth. Let us have not merely the detailed ac counts themselves, but a fair, complete, and intelligible exposition of every portion of them. — When a President ventions with soldiers in order to exclude from rounds political con them those citizens who are opposed to his renomination, the libcrtice of the people are PO} —_ - The Tri up with uaquestion ing tho probability that the Re- publiean perty wif have @ majority of the Senators of York to be chosen at this fall's a, From this probability it fondly anti- ates some wholesome reforms in the govern- tof this city, It would be agreeable to share such expectations, ‘but exy not justify them.

The Philadelphia Ledger is convinced that there is a great decline of official integrity in this country, and it adduces fucts which seem to jus- tify the opinion, The observations of the Ledger would be more pointed and effective if they were directly applied to such transactions as the pre senttaking of President Grawt and the bribe tuking of Assistant Secretary Davis, to the con ferring of offices upo satisfaction me rience docs and to such enormous schemes of corruption as the San Domingo swindle, However, the Lalger does well when it denounces vice in the abstrect, and we have a right to hope that the appl will also in due time not be wanting worthless relatio cation Spanish spies merously us ever in this city, Th are again employed as nu. y keep strict ness places of all suspected of being in any way interested in the cause of freedom in Cuba, The spies so em- ployed are almost all Irishmen, Ove of them, set by his employers to watch a friend of onrs, entered his office yesterday, doubtless with the object of impressing upon his memory the per- sonal appearance of his charge, He applied for work, and the gentleman, knowing that the man was aepy and not requiring any such Lelp, re- plied; “Tean’t give you any work myself, but you can get employment by applying at panish detective office,” co a ‘The Morrisania and Sylvan Glen are awift t4, but which is the awifter is not yet deter The Mott Haven folks wager their money They say that sho would have beaten the Glen ont of sight long ere this watch on the private houses and bu: the be miu on the Morrisania, ate had not the captain wasted so much time in landing passengers at Axtona and 119th street The sin, on the other band, ean prove by any number of witnesses not only that he hus not wasted time in making his landings, but that he has nearly every trip flan; out and drawn in his eang-plank #0 expoditiously as seriously to eudanger the lives of his passengers, If the enptaiv of the Morrisania could get rid of his lundiags, he would bewt the Glon, His way ix clear, Let him get @ monster mortar and fire bis Kors Some ecoundrel sent to Ture SUN Inst evening despatch, purporting to have been sent from Norfolk to Mr. Isaso H, Watwen, Vico Preaideut of the Sun Mutual Insurvnce Com pony, announcing the burning of the steamer Heury Chauncey near Body Island, on the Vir- ginia const, Mr, Watawn declares the despateh a forgery, It in evidently a dodge to boar I’a- cific Mail stock.
