Ihcso bo intends to sta? tion at the Erie Railway depot, and they arc to take passengers to every part of thc city for fifty cents each. Thero is no reason why tho people of New York should bo forced to pay from two to ten dollars, according to tho ne? cessities of the occasion and the presumption of drivers, for the use of a carriage half an hour; while in Europe, and eveu in some other cities of the United States, mach better ac? commodation may bo secured for as many shil? lings. The relief cannot come too quickly." A Washington letter of Thursday last, says : "Tho White House having been thoroughly re? paired, refitted and refurnished, President Grant's family moved into it to-day. The mansion, which has been sadly deficient in statuary and other articles of virtu, is not to be unadorned hereafter.

MONDAY MOBNLNG, MArtCH 22, 1869 Oood News from Columbia. It will be seen bj our report of the p cee?ings of the Legislature on Fridaj a Saturday, that the Chatham Railroad a the Port Royal Railroad bills have been li aver to the next regular session. Th? bills involved State subsidies, or gu?rante amounting te several millions of dolla and we learn by a press dispatch that tb defeat is due to . the sturdy opposition Governor Scott and a number of the me bers of the Legislature. Oar readers knt that we do not mince words Vhen, in o opinion, any public officer deserves oo dcarnation. Bat we judge men by th? aations, and sot by their politics, and set hesitate to say that, in fighting dov tiese railroad jobs, the Governor and t! members of the Legislature have done the duty, and consulted the true interests the State, which should get out of del partially at least, before she adis to ti weight of her railroad obligations. I. a Revolution va Toujours ! Senator Morton, of Indiana, has offere a joint resolution in the United States Set ate, which declares that a majority of an Stale Legislature shall be sufficient to rati -fy any amendment to the Constitution < the United States, proposed by Congresi and that the resignation, or withdrawal, o refusal to act of the minority, shall not al feet th? legality-of that ratification. This resolution is aimed at the State o Indiana, where, in order to prerent th ratification of the Fifteenth amendment without an appeal to the people, the Derne eratic members of the Legislature resigne* and left both Houses without a quorum Au election to fill the vaeancies will tah place on the twenty-fourth, and if the Dem ocrats are sustained they hope te be abli to throw the whole matter over to the new Legislature, which will be chosen in Octo? ber. The resolution of Senator Morton is an assumption that Congress can presoribe what shall be a quorum in a State Legisla? ture, and what shall be the forms of ita proceedings. It proposes to override the constitutions of the States, which alone cac determine the manner in which their Legis? latures shall be regulated and controlled. And, if Congress can make a majority a qnorum, then it is equally within theil power to say that one-tenth of the whole, oi nineteen-twentieths, or any other conve? nient number, shall constitute a quorum. The whole proposition is unconstitutional and revolutionary in its character. We have no idea that the resolution will be agreed to by Congress, and if it were it would have no binding force. We take it, however, as an indication that with the extreme Rad ?eal s-La Revolution va toujours. What will tie His Po lie y ! Mr. Secretary Boutwell, as a member of Congress, was a firm supporter of the op? pressive policy of laying heavy taxes upon the mass of the people for th& 'protection'' of a favored few. This was done in the interests of his constituents in Massachu? setts. But Mr. Boutwell now represents the whole country, and we may well ask whether he will continue to advooate class legisla? tion, or whether he will direct his efforts to making the burden of taxation, as far as possible, uniform and equal ? A free trade policy we do not expect. As long as so large a revenue must be raised, and there is no well digested scheme of direct taxation, there must be protective duties. Tet there is room for vast improve? ment, and in making the existing system more simple and leas irksome the new Sec? retary may be of great service to the whole people. Of oourse there will be opposition to any change.- Last year more than a thousand articles were relieved from internal taxa? tion; dut the protectionists fought despe? rately against any reduction of duties, and even demanded that they should be raided. They were willing to take all that Congress would give, but they conceded nothing in return. These peo; Ie will stick to the same plan, they will plead heartily for more "protection;" for it matters little lo them that, while our revenue is at present drawn from taxes or duties on abcut 1000 arti? cles-the bulk of them raw materials and necessaries of life-England obtains as large a revenue from duties on less than 20 articles. Will Secretary Boutwell point out to the President the faults of the present cum? brous system ? Will he show him tbe in? jury done to trade by monstrous protective duties t Will he explain the fact that twenty or thirty articles may be made to give us all the money wc need ? Will he mark tho waste, the profligacy and the cheating which now exist, and lay before thc President a plan which 6ball not offer a premium to dishonesty, and will raise the revenue without oppressing the people or interfering with and destroying industry and legitimate commerce ? We confess that we seo nothing in Mr. Boutwell's public life to justify U3 in an? swering these questions in the affirmative. And yet there have been changes more marked and more sudden than this would demand. Massachusetts is not all the world, and Mr. Boutwell knowB it. Heretofore, his position and his reputation have de? pended on his own State; now they depend upon the verdict of his fellow-countrymen. As a New England protectionist he could never bave the influence that would be wielded by a Cabinet ^officer who, without going to extremes, appealed (o the pocket nerve of the whole Union, and rested his claims to distinction upon the increased comfort of ninety-nine one-hundredths of our people. This, to him, may seem an empty honor. Time alone will tell. And if Mr. Boutwell be disinclined to move, what prospect is there that President Grant will give effect to his own declara? tion that "a.prostrate commerce is to be "built up, and all industries encouraged ?" As a Western man, the President sheuld be something of a freetrader, and the friend ef the ploughholder, rather than the friend of the bondholder. But in matters of finance ho has joined his fortunes with those of the bondholding aristocracy; and if he showed an inclination towards a liberal commercial policy by his appointment of Mr. Stewart, he has, if popular rumor may be trusted, changed his plan of campaign in appointing Mr. BoutwelL We do not, however, regard it as a foregone oonclusion that neither the President nor Mr. Boutwell will do anything to retrieve our commerce and encourage our trade. Their polioy, in this regard, hae not been declared by works. Until it is, we shall hope for what we most desire.
