The Dm*.wing Room Cars on the E rie R ailway.—Mr. Wiiliqni A. Bates, the popu­la r Southern passenger agent of the Erie and Atlantic and Great Great W estern Rail­ways, has favored us with a woodcut of an interior view' ot one of the splendid draw ­ing room coaches used on those roads. From this we should judge th a t travelers from Cincinnati to New York can make the trip , enjoying as m uch comfort as in a hotel, and almost as m uch as a t home. Each of these cars are divided into several compartments, which are intended for six passengers. They can be closed, so as to shut off communication with, the others, and to insure complete privacy, day or night, or left open, as may be desired. The windows are five or six times as large as those in ordinary cars, the ceilings higher, and as the roads are broad gauge, they are much more roomy. The lu in itu re of these compart, mouts Is elegant in the extrem e—splendid fauteniiles, Wide sofas, springy, folding chairs and rich carpets, Venetian mirrors. These are all for day use. At night, by a beautiful mechanical arrangem ent, all these are tu rned—presto—into beds for six, of such a delightful softness as would coax sleep to th e eyelids of even a hopeless lover or a Ca- rondelet s treet etock broker. We confess th a t the mere picturo of this car has bt g o t­te n a strong dee.re in us to travel N orth by tha t route, for those cars are really the luxury o f m odern travel.

OFFIOIAlfOWJETESIES.T he following correspondence took place

recently between G overnor Hodm an, of New York, and P resident G ra n t:

Albany, 'April 4, 1870.To Pecs: lent Grant, Washington, D. G :

Understanding th a t you will pass through Albany this week, on your way to aud from the funeral of General Thomas, I will be glad, if you will rest here, to make you as comfort ibie as possib'e a t the exeemive residence. JOHN T. H0F1MAN.*

The President replied as follows:Washington, D. C., April 3, 1870.

Governor J. T Hoffman:I t would afford me pteaFure to atop at

A lbany and accept your kind invitation. As, however, i will pass there in the night on my way to Trey, and have arranged to be back in i’hiladelj'hia to attend the a rm y of the Potomac reunion ou Satnr-.lay evening, I v, if not he able to do so. Please accept my iL .- tor your d.spatch.

U. 5. GRANT.

The‘‘fierce Democracle” of ihe Empire State, cf which Governor Hoffman is the acknowledged leader, is celebrated for party zeal. Ihpy sometimes carry the war of words to a fearful extent, when handling an opponent. Personal rancor too fre­quently arises from 3U excess of party fervor, and the unthinking world is led to believe that the hostility is both deadly and deep seated. Wo have seen examples of the kind in our own S ate. Men occu­pying !be highest official positions in the gift of the people have been the objects of social proscription, merely on account of their politics.

B u t G overnor lloffmau. while lie is un­doubtedly the very embodiment ol Democ­racy aud en titled to occupy the most e x a lte d seat in the Tam m any wigwam, is a m an of education, refinement aud true g e n t le m a n ly instincts. H e recognizes in P residen t G rant the chief executive o f a great nation, and offers the sam e courtesies and hospitalities to him that he would have extended to h is personal and political friend. H oratio Seymour, under sim ilar circum stances. Hia offer to p lace the executive residence a t the disposal of P residen t G rant was a gracelul act, odb that reflects the highest cred it upon him as an officer and a m an, and is a rebuke to the sm aller minds who im agine th a t they m ust carry the ir partisan w arfare into all the relations of life—commercial, religious and social.

That it was not in the power o f P resi­den t G ran t to accept the offered c ivility does no t in the least detract from the grace and credit of the hospitable Gov­ernor. I t was in tended by him as a com­plim ent to the d istinguished m an wbo has been honored by the nation w ith the first office in th e ir gift, no less than as an honor due from the G overnor ot the E m ­pire S tate to the President of the Union. Such acts go far to soften the bitterness of par isua feeling, and if practiced more frequently by gentlemen in private as well as in public station, would b ring the two parties to a be tte r understanding, elevate public sentiment, and deprive co rrup t political leaders of m uch of the ir power for mischief.

THE IK CO MB TAX.

We are glad to see all the loading pa­pers ot the country in accord with us on the p rop rie ty—nay, the necessity—of re­pealing the income tax . T he New York Hera d gives its views on this subject quite forcibly:

The income tax is universally detested. I t offers a premium ou crime, and is the handmaid of perjury. While some men bwear to incomes of a lesser rate than they actually receive, in order to escape taxation, rascals swear to a higher income than they receive in order to obtain credit they would not otherwise be entitled to. The law tends to public demoralization, ju st as it was w ith the bankrupt law of a year or two ago. That law whs passed with proper re­gard for the public welfare. The motives of its framers were in the main correct; bu t in course of time honest men were induced tc take advantage ot its provisions, and by fraudulent representations cheat their cred­itors. Any act tha t has a tendency like this should bo expunged from the public s ta t­utes. The act imposing a tax upon incomes has this tendency, and ns such should be blotted from the official records by Con­gressional action, as it already is by common consent among the people.

Certain brilliant lawyers took courage yesterday upon reading the suggestion of the Picayune, that the .State, may be held liable for the amount of the supposititious wan-ants involved in therecent transaction between Slrauss aud Wickliffe. But the feeling of elevation was of short duration. It was suggested that as the S’ate never intended these warrants to circulats asne- gotiable paper, holders must look to ven­dors for their validity. The Slate, like au individual, can not be bound except by the act of an agent duly authorized by law. The existence of warrants in the hands of the ex-Auditor, under the circumstances, could not raise a presumption ot their validity. They are simply checks on the treasury, ordeiing the payment of money, and the paymont may bo stopped in the same manner that bans checks are ordered to be refused. Mr. Btrauss recently at­tempted to stop payment of a check drawn by himself, and certified at his request, al­though it had pissed iuto the hands ot a third party. The .Slate warrants, for part payment of which he gave his check, were neither erufleu nor accepted by the Treas­urer, who has the undoubted right to refuse payment for a sufficient cause. This view of the ea.ce led to a modification of the temporary exhilaration. VisionB of prospective fees began to grow more and more remote and dim, and some even went so far as to accuse our staid contem­porary of attempting to play a joke on the green bag profession.

The advantages resulting from the suc­cessful construction and w o ik in g o f the Suez canal are already m ade manifest. Bombay cottoD sent to E ngland by the canal has been returned to India by the same route, in the form of cloth, in forty- five day-,. By th e old ioute, via the Cape ot Good Hope, the shortest period on record for a sim ilar result is n inety days. Between India and G reat Britain, and thus by im plication between India and alm ost every known centre of m odern activity, the Suez canal ban reduced tim e and d is ­tance by one-half. In spite of adm itted drawbacks, says the New York Herald, the Suez canal must be regarded as a grand suooess. I t is one of our greatest modern scientific trium phs, and its value is less to

be determ ined by what it seems or is than by w hat it prom ises to becom e and do. I t is an exam ple which m ust be extensively followed to the advantage o f mankind.

IK TERN AT ION AL MARITIME EXHIBITION IN ITALY.

We learn by an official note from Signor F. S a iim in iateil ', Vice Consul of Italy, in this city, th a t ae in te rna tiona l m aritim e ex h ib itio n will be he’d ia Naples from the first of Septem ber to the th irtieth o f 'No­vember 1870, for the d istribu tion of gold, silver aud copper m edals to such exhi­bitors as shall be adjudged en titled to them . The o b je c t 'd ' the exhib ition a p ­pears to be to b ring U'gether articles of the g rea test u tility aud" most approved p a tte rn s in naval construction. The things to be entered for com petition are stated to be such as steam engines, port and m aritim e establishm ents, aiticles and m ateria ls for rigging, and navigation in general, im plem ents and arm s for the commercial m arin e , p reparations for sal­vage, the v ic tualing of ships, sailors’ movables, fishery and scientific works, etc.

There are m any people ia this city who are deeply interested ia all questions re la ­ting to m aritim e im ptovem ents, the m ost econom ical construction of ships, and the most approved inventions in the endless list of a rtic les used in navigating vessels by steam or sail. I t is qu ite likely that the a tten tion o t some of them will be tu rned to this Ita lian exhibition w ith the view of having New Orleans p roperly rep ­resented. T he Ita lian Consul General, office No. 7 Broadway, New York, will, we learn , furnish all needful inform ation in the m atte r to parties who apply to him

for th e purpose.

Troubles have occurred am ong the iron w orkers near the city of Nevers, France. The d iscontent am ong this class of opera­tives in th a t coun try seems to be general and chronic. So far, th e troops have, w ith excellent policy, avoided actual com­ba t w ith them . T here are abundan t grounds for believing th a t a revolution im pends; b u t it will no t be the Em peror's fau lt if it succeeds in shaking him from his post. A grand m ilitary review was lately held in P aris . By showing his m ilitary s treng th N apoleon holds the people in check.

ON CARON DELET STREET.The crowd of brokers and speculators,

buyers and sellers, gathered as usual on Carondelet s treet yesterday. The day was warm, and the sun disp layed som e sym p­tom s of its m idsum m er power. W hen the season becom es fu rther advanced, it will be found ra ther inconvenient to transact business on the street corner, even beneath the friendly shade o f super-pendant aw n­ings and exigeous balconies. I t w ould be m uch be tte r for the operators and brokers to assemble, during the day. in the room of the Board of Brokers, which, during that period, will be left open to every oue for the purpose.

Yesterday Was m arked by a re ­m arkable and sudden revolu tion iu Slaughterhouse s tock—the m ost ex­traordinary and com plete th a t has been observed du ring the season. in the m orning th e stock began to weaken, and as it sank, holders a t first becam e alarmed, and final'y panic-stricken, and rushed fran tically forward to get rid of the article, which, b u t twenty-four hours before, they had considered so precious. In the midst of this. S laughter stock was hurried off a t a lm ost any price, and one lo t was sold as low as 22. Everywhere the vic­tim s of the engagem ent were to be seen, and the groans ol the wounded resounded around the corner o f Carondelet and Com­mon streets. M any were the predictions, tha t before n ig h t the stock would fall to 20, and some despairing persons even h in ted tha t 10 would be a high figure in a short time. No oue could have im agined tha t a ll th is was to be changed in a moment. No one could have supposed th a t the party now so depressed and hum iliated w ould soon be flushed w ith victory a t d exu ltan t with the an tic ipation of fa rth e r trium phs; yet this m arvelous transform ation actually occurred. A bout th ree o’clock a brisk inquiry for the stock sp rung up , an d i t rallied w ith a s treng ih and elasticity which was tru ly rem ark ­able. A t th e board, on the regular call, 28 was bid, and ou the second call sales were made at 29. A fter the board a gentiem an, who seemed to be particu ­larly enthusiastic , offered 30 for any amount of stock, from one hundred shares to five thousand, b u t was able to obtain n o t more than sixty-two. No one seemed to know the cause of this sudden revolu­tion , b u t many believed th a t it was only the culm ination of a concerted p lan to p u t the stock down in the m orning, in order to buy it up a t a low figure.

There was a very notable transaction in Pneum atic stock yesterday. For some days this stock ha* been freely offered at 90, but yesterday a buyer en tered the m arket and gave $1500 for ten shares. T h is was considered so rem arkable that the check given in paym ent was publicly exhibited in order to convince sceptics th a t the sale was genuine. N otw ithstanding th is transaction , however, the m arket was no t a t all affected, and the stock was again freely offered at 90 and even as low as 85.

Levee stock was steady yesterday , w ith a s ligh t tendency to fall in the m orning and to rise in th e evening. T ransactions ranged from 12 to 13. T he last sale was ol one h u n d red shares a t 12.1.

*Otbor stocks wore quiet, and w ith the exception of som e small transactions in Ship Island, no th ing was done in them.

The follow ing were the transactions at

the board last night;Allied. Bid. Sold.
