THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
.We are not ?disposed to quarrel with out new
Governor for his discussion of National affairs
in a message to the Legislative of New-York.
?Doubtleaa it is ?better that State doeumenti
should deal '? with Stale utluirs, and
in * times past we have had enough to
say agaioel the injection of stump speeches on
/National politics into Governors' m?nagea. Rut
Got. IJobiiisoii succeeds OoT. Tilden. The
??rustiest of ?political opponents would hanlh
deny him th?' privile<ge of arguing the ?'ase for
the Presidential aspirant who gives ?him his !
place.
Bul he might have argued it lutter. Got,
Robinson's whole plea may be said to be
almost summed up in (he two statements?that !
th?' law of Louisiana concerning the ?powers
?if its Returning Board is inconsistent with
the Constitution of the St:ite and of the
United Stabs, and that the action.?! of
the Returning ?Boards in Florida und South
Carolina have been disapproved by liepiib- I
licau judges. What the Governor ha* to say
concerning the impolicy of the Louisiana j
legislation will not provoke any discussion.
Thouaandfl of people regard the law as s !
b/td one, passed f??r ?bad purposes, win? |
nevcrthch'ss insist that while it is a
law, the oihYcrs appointed under it, and sworn
to obey it, cannot consult either their own
wishes or the opinions of Northern Governors
in the discharge of their duties. The ques?
tion is not whether the law is a good
one or a bad one, but whether it is binding,
and whether the Returning Board obeyed
it. It is binding if legaUy enacted, and not
in violation of the State or National Consti?
tution. NOW (1) both sides are estopped from
denying thai it was legally passed, since the
National Government has recognized tin
body which passed it ;?(2) Northern Gov
ernors cannot undertake to decide whether
it is or is not in conflict with the Constitution
of the State of Louisiana?that is the business
of another tribunal ;?and ('A) as to the ques?
tion ?if its being in conflict with the Constitu?
tion of the United Stall s, we take leave to s.iy
that Oov. l?o bin son's argument is trivial. If
a Legislature can under the Constitution of
the United stales choose the ?Presidential ?'lec?
tors itself (which is undisputed), it certainly
can provide for the details of counting the
vote for electors, which it invites the people
tin-mselves to cast.
Nor ?hies (?ov, Robinson's effort t.? make
party capital out of the alleged party standing
ol the courts of Smith Carolina and Florida !
Impress us as quite worthy of himself
or his office. The Governor knows that
the ?Supreme Ckairt <?f South Carolina,
for instance, does not owe its organ?
Isation to Got. Chamberlain, but to the thievish
carpet-tag government! which preceded him.
He knows thai it was as bitterly denounced by
his political alias ?it the South as Gov. Cham?
berlain waa enthusiastically praised; thai the
?praise <?f Gov. Cbambertain qpaaod pre?
cisely when it was found thai be was
not useful in the Tilden campaign, and thai
the denunciations of the Supreme Court
ceased precisely when it was found thai it
vim!'! be useful, Gov. Robinson knows, too,
that the hatred of what be calls the
L? publican Supreme Court of Smith
Carolina for Gov. Chamberlain began
precisely when that officer refused
a commission to the Infamous s?ni ol its Chief
Justice. Under these circumstances, does be
think it ?jait? worthy of a Governor <?t New
York to ?pettifog the case by talking alunit the
friendship <?f this Supreme Court foe the men
against whom it decides 1
lint all this political argument was to be ex?
pected. It is a part of the service due to
the candidate who pul Gov. Robinson in ??lime,
and the parly which is to sustain him. Aside
from tlii-, the Governor's measage seems to us
sensible and businesslike, r On the vital
question of Inland water transportation it
is specially suggestive, and those who have
enlisted in a railroad war to shut up the
canals, may ?gather from it that the Governor
is Ukely to prove a formidable focman.
i!" exposes and <>?>p??:s the, waste of
| public money on the lateral caiiab,
! the mi8managomenl <?f the Btate prisons, the
i extravagance in th?- public buiUUngs (which
I he describes as "amounting einmal to
I "lunacy "), and the mismanagement ?>f .sav?
ings banks. 11?' ?takes old-fashioned ground
?.. ainsi the extension of the common
i school system, so as t<? include the higher
; branches of literature and science, doubts
s ether the normal schools are worth wbal
I they ?a t, wants the nuisance of fr?quent changes
in school books remedied by law, and recoin
menda a sp?cifie appropriation for the benefit
of the common schools ?instead <>f the present ?me
and a quarter mills tax. On a grea! variety
of other questions of state policy the Gover?
nor makes always positive ami lome
times ?piit? peremptory ?recommenda?
tions. Thus he comb inns flatiy tin
Siatc snivey, provided for i?t the laal session,
ami wants the ?laiitc ?tiith<?i?/.?npr it repealed.
He ?helares with equal ?xpliritii??ns in favor
of continuai?; to exempt churches lioui tax
ntion, Bad pives strong reason? for it.
His discussion of the currency II
brief, and makes nn extraordinary omission.
He seems as titb'rly ttnablo as G??v. Tilden
himself was, after his association with (iov.
llendricks, to remember and support the law
pioviding for resumption of apean! payment?
by the State of New-York in 1H7'A, whether
the National (?ovcrntiicnt ri-sumcs or not. He
complains of the insufficiency of railroad re
jMirts, and proposes togivo th?? Stale BagiUflflf
powet to call for further particulars. He
ssiselv traces the origin of a large part of OUT
enormous municipal debt to the ill
judged meddling of th? ?State Legisla?
tur?-; ixiints the moral of the Brook?
lyn ?'?lamity with a recommendation f??r 1? gis
lation on the subject ; gives his ally, Senator
John Morris*.-y, a raj) in his damnatory para?
graph upon betting on elections, and in-ists
upon more stringent lewa to ?prevent the use
of money in behalt of candidate*?
Altogether the message fully warrants the
wann svords of approval with which we greet?-?!
Gov. Kobinsoiiis nomination. On questions of
State politics he is thoroughly clear?
headed and nearly always thoroughly sound.
A? *, to National affairs bfl is parti?
san, ' a? was to be expected. Of this
nobody will complain, if he only makes
a good Governor; and if he succeeds in get?
ting half the recommendations <>f this message
pr.icii? telly carried oat, he will he an even bet?
ter Governor than his predecessor.

"A RAILROAD CONSPIBACY."
Two weeks ago a volunteer corri'spondent
pent a letter to Tiik Tkiiune defining the
Yandcrbilt railroa?l war as an attempt not to
injure ?other linea, nor to bcnefll the trade of
New-York, but simply t ? crash the canal-boat
men, and Anally destroy the great artery of
Commerce to which our city and Btate osve ho
?much of their prosperity. To-day th?' state?
ments of that letter rci'?ive a striking con?
firmation in the report of the Auditor ?>f the
Canal Department! .in abstract of which op
peon in our columns. Auditor Schuyler shows
that ?luring the past I wo years the revcnims
of tin; canals, under a system of low tolls,
have been j inadequate to the demanda
ujiiiii them,' and that a tax will be
tieiess.uy to cover the ?1? fit-iency for the
year ending Sept. SO, lsTc?. It was ?predicted
that the reduction in tolls would be followed
by an increase in tonnage; on the contrary,
tol's ?mil tonnage b'll off together, and "it is
"?certain that the revenues loi the current fia?
" cal year will fall short of the sum needed
" ior collection ami repaire." This result is
not attributable, as the statistics of Ihe grain
trade WOttld shosv, to depression iu business.
It i| the COnaequenee of what Mr. Schuyler
.calls a "conspiracy of the railroads'' to dry
[up the canal m older thai they may monopo
li/e the caning li ?ule of New-York. The
gains of the ?railroads are simply diveraious
from the ?anal.
If the roads could cnv:\ grain cheaper than
the ?anal there would he ?nothing iimre to mis.
Mut a few figures from the official reports of
tlm railways put (he ease in its true light,
?iTlie year before the, reduction in canal tolls
the earning! of the New-York Central ex?
ceeded the payments other than for ?onsfruc
?tion, $1,137,707. During the next five years
the avera?e ?annual surplus was only $80,413 ?
and ?lining the year following, f. ?*., 1^7"?, the
payments other than for eonstmrtioB exceed* '1
the earnings by no less than $1,581,854. In
fact ill?- ssvorn ri'iiirns of the company shosv
that ?lining the list season of navigation (June
to October, lsTlia the NeW-York Central car?
ried wheat for one-half the ?icinil cost of
transportation. That tells the whole story?
makes the purpose of the mail as plain as if
it had been declared in so many words, printed
in large type at the head ol every copy of the
freight schedule,
Mr. Schuyler reminds us that the state of
New-York has "made valuable concessions to
"the various ronds*1 now consolidated in the
Central, "to which tiny were not entitled BU
"der their original charters,11 and he makes
the sensible suggestion thai if these conces?
sions ale abused, to tlie ?le--!?netion of our
canal system ami the oppression ?( ?mr mer?
chants, publie policy will demand that they be
withdrawn. The letter to Tiik Tuibuxe, ill?
icitly i? ?iinil to, pointed out one way in
which the Legislature could reach the rail?
road, namely, by compelling it to pay the tax
which th?- Court of Appeals has decided to be
due upon the marke! value of itastock. Next,
we agree with Mr. Bchuyler in hoping our rep
re eiitatise? at Albany will look into the for?
gotten restrictions ?>l th?- origina] chartere.
TBK COUNTRY ?on ?UM.
Jt gives us the greatest satisfaction to an?
nounce Unit, we have just beard of a country
for which we have no ?loubt Mi. David Dudley
Field will not only be willing hut enraptured !??
have his osvn, lb- \sas elected t?? Congwas
yesterday, it i? true; but. Congress is not his
true place. The poor man has been so un?
happy over the frightful tendencies of our
Coverninenl and our .people, and has written
such moving ami hopeless lamentations upon
the subject, that he can have little hop?? of
Betting everything right in the fag end of a
single Congressional term. Mr. Field has prob?
ably heard of the Republic of Costa Bien,
whereof Viniente Herrera la, ?ir was, when it was
laal beard from, the Provisional Preeidgnt Now
there is a great similarity, at least in one
respect, between President Herrera and Mr.
1). 1). Field?neither of them has any mote
liking for newspapers than (?en. Jtenj. P.
Butler himself. Each < {presses his laste in
his own way ; Mr. David D. ?Field writes ar?
ticles for t%? Ihtcrnaliiiutil against thesi?
"maps of busy life;" but ?teCoate Rica ?'resi?
dent, bavin? more power t.? his elbow, can do
what Mr. D. 1>. F. can only long lo do, ami
?an, so to speak, put his foot upon the ob?
noxious publications ami trample them ou; of
existence] or he can forbid their publication
without the special approval ??this Secretary of
the interior, which of ??mise means his own.
And he means to ?lo il, t<*r he has Issued
?i proclamation t?> that effect, with a highly
moral preamble reminding us moat forcibly
by ils style ??f Mi. I>. I?. Field's remarkable
essays. The ?Provisional President observes
th.?.i "in the abnormal circumstances in which
" the Dation is found, public order is of th,.
" lust necessity, and whatever may lend to
"disturb it must lie avoided*1?now mark the
words, Mr. Field!--"especially ihe excesses of
" ihe press"?.in-! nrhal yon ?have already ?said,
Mr. Field?41 which rerve only to sow discord
"in the publie mind, excite Ihe passions^ ami
"oppo e the general interests ol the country."
It is ?mi opinion that ?President Herrera is a
regular rabacriber <?> Th? fokroathool, ami
reads ?i faithfully. There be gets truth ami
wisdom in the ??hatred ; but then lu- also has
what he calla "ample powere." 11?? isn't
obliged) lik?' our New-York Artatardlua, t<? sit
in his library and cry over tin? " ? vesscs of
" the picha." He can du uuim thitij,, und he
proposes to do it. He ?an dftrte, and lu- bas
derreed :
Whatever editor or printer or publisher may
hereafter put out any newspaper without the
"previous approval " of Vinei-nt?? Horrent ?s
Secretary of the Interior, or without siibmit
tiiiK the proof-shei't.s to that fiinetionary, is to
be lined not less tliiin $28 nor more than
01,000, or imprisoned nut less tlian lifti-en
days nur more than one year. ?Moreover hi?,
printing olliee, with all its pre Ma and type?,
is to lie, seized. The establishment is to 1m:
minit up, and so is the prnprietor.
It is rather early times in this country for a
similar restraint of misguided new-papers, but
Mr. D. D. Field can at onre begin to petition
the Assembly or move in Congrats for it law
imposing .similar restrictions and intlirtin.-r sim?
ilar jien.illies?a statute which would be found

T?RKEI INFOMBS WAR.
The situation at Oonstani ?imple bus anddenly
?hanged. The ineniber.s of the Conference
having Anally igreed upon the proposals tobo
mad" to Turkey, in accordance with the tenor
if nut the exact form of the ItasUJan demanda,
the next move must be made by Hi?' Ottoman
Groveinnent, When ?lie Conference met, on
Monday, the Turkish members were ready
with their reply to the proposals. They de?
clared that they had no authority to discuss
the ?piestiun of an international coinrnissioii,
or :i foreign military police in the province?.
Not only this: they inade counter proposals
differing entirely from the plan agreed upon
by the repic. entatives of the Christian PoWCTB,
In answer to the Marquis of Salisbury's ques?
tion, whether this course was equivalent toan
absoluto refusal of the plan, they referred him
to the Ottoman Cuuiicil. They hail plenary
powers to propose, it appeared? ''Ut not to re?
fale i yi t to meet one proposition by another
of a totally opposite character is hardly to he
diatinguuvbed from a refusal.
The promptness of 'I'mkey's answer betrays
the fact that a powerful combined pressure is
now made to bear upon her. She still assumes
an attitude of independence, though the Con
fereoce Virtually holde a pistol to her bteaat,
and says: "SubmUBUOB to our demands, or
"war!" Her Government knew the character
of the proposals in advanee . the Turkish mem?
bers of the Conference are in Immediate com?
munication with Sultan Hamid ami Midliat
Pasha, and their plea of want of aullioiit.? il
simply a device to fain a respite of three days.
It will not Q-apOM the plenipotentiaries of the
other Towers, to patience or forbearance.
When the Conference nuits, on Thursday, ?i
cat? l?iiiicd answvr to the proposals will be ex?
pected. It is not likely that the latter will be
agaia modified, unless in some unimportant
detalla. Therefore, Baleas] Turkey should
squarely recede from her present position
(anil it is difficult to see why she should
a-'.iii'n' it, at mch a crisis, if ahe admitted to
herself any possibility of receding), -.lie will
choo.si' war.
Till: D18A8TER OF THE CIRCASSIAN.
The ili-as|er on the Circassian was perhaps
the most terrible of the horrors which crowded
the close of the year, because so little was
needed to render it impossible. The men ou
the vessel iiiiplorin _" help Were ill full Bight
Bad hearing for hums; their frieada and com?
radis wire on shun with the otlicers and
crews ?if two life-savin?,' stations stiaininir
every nerve to reacnetbem; every appliance
for rese?e was tin re except the means to cany
a ball over the Ai\\). The Circaaaian lay, it i
stated, over -*?<io yaiil? from shore. The mor?
tara in ase at our stations ander the most fa?
vorable cirenmatancea will not carry n line
farther than .?7.~> or lno yards. The Boxer
rocket in ne by the Royal National Life-boat
Institution in Great Britain will not cany more
than ten vardafurther. The ??rent mafority of
wrecks fortunately li?' inside of that distance.
It was however aimply imposible to save the
crew of th" Circassian by the means of a ball
and line. The men on shore we are told con?
tinued Bring,however, long after tiny knew it
was iisi less, simply to keep up the courage of
th<> ?loomed men.
The truth is, ?hat since the organization
of our Revenue .Marine Service the total amount
of loea of hie from v?asela shipwrecked oil our
COOS! has been reduced with almost incredible
success. In old tiines, when the coast was un
?ruant? d, vessels went doWB with :?<><> to 1<?(?
souls aboard, out. of which not one would be
saved. The sand-bars of Long Island and
New-Jersey were whitened with the apara Of
Wrecked vessels and the bones of their crews.
The Revenue .Marine Bureau began its work
ill Is is, ami the loea of life for twenty yean
averaged but '2~> per annum. After its reor?
ganization in 1871, under the supervision of
Bumner Kimball, the loss of life was reduced
to one per annum until the Bummer of 1875.
In every Case since then in which life has
been lost (JnclndJBg that of the Ciov.iniii on
Cape Cud in March, ls7"?), the sulo obstacle
to rescue has been the inability of the mortars
to (any a ball far enough, Wfi were assured
after the loss of the (.iovatilii that the skill
ami efforts of the Btoet experieneed officers and
manufacturers of ordnance, in the country
were directed, with every prnspccl of miccc-s,
to supply sume improvement which should
lengthen the range <?f mortar or rocket. Let
us hope that their eilbrts will be redoubled
now. When I rocket was wanted to carry
death ami destruction 1,800 yards it was forth?
Coming, and surely the saving of Life should
be as strong a stimulant to human invention.
We know the dillicultie? which lie in the
way?the almost impossibility of dragging
heavy ordnance through the sand, the costli?
ness of the Boxer or similar ii;???ar.:tus ; but
we believe the American inventivo pniiis can
overcame the fust, and the Government will
prove itself doobtleaa as liberal to tins blanch
of the service aa it has hitherto dune. An
improved appliance for carrying a line is, in
hurt, all that is needed to insure us against
a n pet ???on of such lion,u.s as that of last
Saturday, and to rentier o_?r.]_ife?eaving Ber
vice the must complete and efficient in the
