The delinquencies of some of our committing magistrates have not yet been remedied, and, unless some serious effort is made by tho courts to compel them to do their duty, tho probability is that things will go on in tho old-fashioned way for some time to como. The alderman have been reprimanded by tho judges, but some aldermen do not appear to regard a reprimand as amounting to much. They have been cautioned about their sworn duty, but cautions have not availed to bring all of them up to the strict line of that duty. Their intelligence as men has been appealed to, but some of them are not as intelligent as they might be. And, finally, they have been threatened with prosecution in the criminal courts, and yet threats have not sufficed to induce them to remember the trifling fact that a man is innocent until he is proven j guilty, and that a man who is accused of any transgression of the law is not thereby de prived of all his rights as a man and a citizen. Yesterday a number of those delinquent officials were summoned before Judge Brew ster, presiding over the Court of Quarter Ses sions, and required by him to give some ac count of their shortcomings. The complaint against them was the old complaint that per sons had been thrown into prison by them, in default of bail, to answer some trivial charge, and that no return of tho cases had been made to the District Attorney, as is required by law. In two or throe cases, it was found that somebody or other had been stupid, and that the aldermen were not to blame. As a matter of course, the magistrates in these cases were told to depart in peace. In other cases, the aldermen failed to respond to the demand for their presence in court, and the proper process for compelling their at tendance was accordingly issued. Bat in two cases at least the most culpa ble negligence was shown to exist, and iLs magistrates had nothing to say in response except the reiteration of the piti ful plea of mistake or forgetfulness. In one of these, the alderman acknowledged that he had committed a man to the County Prison as long ago as the fifteenth of July, and had been so thoroughly persuaded in his own mind that he had made the proper return, that if the Assistant District Attorney had not called his attention to the affair by sending Sor the transcript, he probably would never have done anything about it. And yet he "did not think it was neglect or forgetful ness on his part, but simply a mistake ! "' An other alderman, when asked what he had to say about a committal made by him on tho thirtieth of July, of which there had been no return, could only confess that his memory was so utterly unreliable and his business habits so loose that he had neglected it through forgetfulness. Judge Brewster repeated to these two de linquents almost the very words he has used previously, telling them they were more at fault than the alleged criminals whom they had illegally restrained of their liberty; that they had impeded the action of the District Attorney, and drawn upon him the unmerited censure of the public; that they had caused the Court to be accused of a want of zeal: that they had incommoded the jurors; in short, assured them that they were clearly in the wrong, and that if a stop were not put to their carelessness, it would be necessary for the court to bind some of them over to answer for their delinquencies before a jury. If Judge Brewster had gone one step further, and simply ordered the twain to take their places in the prisoners' dock, he would not have done anything out of the way, and his action in tho matter would have received the unqualified endorsement of all reasonable citizens. Complaints come every day from the County Prison that it is overcrowded to such an extent that no attempt can be made to carry out the regulations which the Board of Inspectors have made for the confinement of the prisoners; and every grand jury that goes over the list of committals ignores fully one half of the bills presented to it, because the charges are of the most trivial character and frequently prompted by the malice of the prosecutor alone. Ana yet some ol our aldermen persist in aggravating both these abuses by sending miserable and friendless wretches below, without making a pretense of complying with the slight formalities of law which are required to bring the cases before the courts. One or two examples would have a salutary effect by way of remedying this last difficulty, and would likewise be calcu lated to do away to an appreciable extent withthe present practice of sending people to MovamensinR on ridiculous or malicious charges. mm THE NEW DEMOCRATIC RULES. Notwithstanding the flaming speech against negro suffrage with which Kichard Vaux opened the sessions ol tue convention ap pointed to revise the rules of the Democratic rartv of this city, that body did not heed his impressive warning of the importance of maintaining an exclusive "white" man's gov ernment. All "Democratic" citizens are to 1)6 allowed to participate in their delegate flections, regardless of their color, and the word "white" was stricken from the first draft of their new party constitution by an almost unanimous vote. After the adoption of the til tceuth amendment, it will not bo at all nw prising to see the Democracy of Philadelphia struggle an earnestly to win negro rotes as their brethren in Mississippi, v lrginia, Loui siana, and Texas. The prinoiple of "minority" representation, which was earnestly advocated in the United States Senate, some months ago, by Senator Buckalew, has been incorporated in the new rules of the Democracy of Philadelphia; and a fair chance will be afforded, in their future conventions, to study its practical workings. One of the three delegates elected from each precinct and one of the three delegates elected from each ward will represent a mino rity, and a new element will thus be Intro duced in the adjustment of partisan contro versies. It will probably have a tendency to promote fair piny, similar to that proceeding from the legal system of giving to minorities an inspector at the general elections. Other rules, conducive to the Raiue end, require that the committee on contested Reats shall be chosen alphabetically, instead of being appointed by a prejudiced president to decide in favor of his favorite faction, and that each delegate as ho votes shall walk up to tho secretary's desk, and prove by his veritable presence that he is a genuine Jacobs. Tho proceedings of tho conventions which nominated tho oxisting city Democratic ticket fully proved the neces sity of a reconstruction of the Democratic rules, and the party deserves some credit for performing this duty so promptly, but it re mains to be determined whether any real re form has been effected. OUR NAVAL NOMENCLATURE. The names of our national vessels have un dergone another revision, and to-day we are treated with a special order from Socretary Bobeson, undoing a portion of tho work of his predecessor, and changing the titles of some of the ships back to what they were originally, renaming others, and allowing some to retain the absurd designations bor rowed by Admiral Porter from "Tooke's Pan theon" and the British Naval ltegister. The result of all this is that our naval nomencla ture is in a most mixed condition, and tho "old salts" for whose particular benefit the original change was made, because Admiral Porter was afraid that they would perhaps dislocate their jaws in attempting to pronounce the names selected by Secretary Welles, will be in a state of mental disquietude and distress to know exactly what to call their beloved ships. The present system appears to have been adopted as a sort of compromise between Ad miral Torter and the public, and however sat isfactory it may be to the former, it is not likely to meet tho wishes of the latter. Ori ginally the names of fifty-nine vessels wero changed, and by the special order of the Se cretary of the Navy, issued yesterday, twenty three names are put back to what they were originally, and thirteen new names are given as follows: Orlnlnnl Vui. Arizona. to Nevada Neatiumouy. Ilecla to Nebraska. Shackamaxnn. Hcrcti lea to ( )reiron Ouinalirauiond. Thunderer. to Massachusetts. Passaconowav. Cambridge to Congress I'ushmatuha. Circe to Marcla Murletta. Cyclops to Keywadin kickupoo. Erebus to Alumna Squaudo. i.orgon to .Miimetoiiko. ...auiuc, Hydra to otseiro Tunxis. Orion to Piscutanua. . .chimo. . .Tippecanoe. . .Neosho. Vesuvius to Wyandotte. Vixen to Osceola.. . . . The Jist of changes as civen in the Asso- eiated .'.'ress despatch of this morning is not correct in all particulars, and the above has therefore been compared with the official list as published in the last semi-annual Navy Register. Some of the new names are per haps as good as the old ones, but they are no better; and it is difficult to understand why the Secretary did not adhere to the original titles while he was about it. There are nineteen names that Mr. llobe- son has not interfered with, and in this list are some of the most objectionable of the changes made to gratify Admiral Porter's hobby for assimilating the American naval service with the British. In the highly intellectual and elaborate defense of the new nomenclature which he recently published, the public will remember the scorn with which he alluded to those benighted beings outside of the Naval Academy who were ignorant of that celebrated compendium of classical knowledge, "Tooke's Pantheon;" the feeling manner in which he referred to Niobe weeping for her children, and tho logi cal style in which he demonstrated that, as it was necessary that one of our ships should bo named after a weeping mother, therefore Niobe was much to be preferred to Bachel, which last name appeared to strike the Admiral as absurd, probably because it was Scriptural. "We therefore find that the "Waxsaw is still to be called the Niobe, the Mannyunk the Ajax, the Tonawanda the Am phitrite, tho Kalamazoo the Colossus, the Shiloh the Iris, the Sangamon the Jason, tho Agamenticus the Terror, etc., etc. Admiral Porter's refers with much unc tion to "Tooke's Pantheon;" but, contrary to his supposition, that erudite work is not generally known to the school boys of the present generation, it bein considered about half a century out of date. We presume, however, that it still holds its own at the Naval Academy, and it is eminently suggestive of the "conservative" character of that institution, as well as of tho reputation it has acquired for "cramming" rather than sound scholarship. Admiral Porter's defense of tho new nomenclature was as lame as the majority of tho changes made wero unfortunate. If Secretary Kobe son had put the whole list of names back to what they were originally, he would have re ceived tho thanks of tho country, but ho has not even half done the work, and the only result of tho last pronunciamento of the Navy Department is to leave the matter in an even r Mi- . 1 1 Uiuiu uiiniiiimuuiury uuiuuuou IIIUU It Was when it came into his hands. Now this difficulty is not of so much im portance of itself as it is as an illustration of the way the Navy Department is habitually mismanaged, vuuun the lost dozen years the uniforms of tho officers have been changnd as many times, to the delight of the tailors and gold laco manufacturers, but to the infi nite annoyance of the officers themselves, whose purses, generally, are none of the heaviest. Within the same period tko rules and regulations have beon revised, amended, and revoked again and again, to suit the whims of Admiral this, or Commodore that, who might at the moment have tho ear of the Socretary; the old squabble between the line and the staff has beon kept alive by the in discreet interference of the department, and the latter have been discouraged and disgusted by the difficulty of k no wing what their real status, rights, and privileges wore, on account of the numerous contradic tory orders with regard to them, and so on through other details which show a want of system and brains at the head of this import ant branch of our military service. Every thing appears to go hap-hazard, and to be regulated by no fixed rule. It is certainly time that we had a Secretary of the Navy with a mind of his own; and a man who has a will of his own can, if he chooses to exercise it, easily take the kinks out of some of the naval tangles, and place the service on a more satisfactory footing than it has ever been before. Secretary ltobeson is reported to have a will of his own, and if he will send Porter off to attend to his legitimate business, and then bring a little common sense to bear on matters and things in general connected with his department, he will win the regards of his subordinates and the applause of the public. With regard to tho changes in the names of vessels made by Secretary Robeson and his predecessor, we would like to know by what authority they have acted. The law forbids the nome of any vessel to bo changed without tho permission of Congress, and we have yet to discover that the Secretary of the Navy has any powers in this respect more than a private individual. THE NEW RAILROAD WAR. The railroad war in New York grows more and more exciting. The controversy of stock brokers and railroad officials, succeeded by a series of conflicting judicial opinions and orders, has led to a forcible struggle, and conflicting railroad armies have been organized to decide the quarrel with bowie-knives and revolvers. Various causes have combined to lend a deep interest to this struggle. The matter at issue is the control of the Albauy and Susque hanna llailroad. It was built mainly by tho private and municipal subscriptions of inhabi tants along the line for the promotion of local interests, and especially for the purpose of obtaining cheap coal from the Lackawanna region of Pennsylvania, by a connection with the Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad, tho supplies of the region having heretofore been furnished exclusively by tho Delaware and Hudson Canal Company. After much money had been expended for the purpose indicated, and after the objects in view were about to be attained, the notorious railway cormorant, Fisk, Jr., who is constantly striving to seize more railway property than he can properly manage, organized, in con nection with his friends, a scheme for obtain ing tho control of tho Albany and Susque hanna Railroad, partly to make it a dependent branch of tho Erie Railway, but more especi ally, as tho people of Albany allego, to prevent the road from rendering any assistance to the effort to break up the monopoly of tho coal markets of the region traversed, which has here tofore been possessed by the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company. The original pro jectors of the railway in dispute have deter mined to offer every available species of re sistance to the effort to diminish the useful ness of their property, and the deep fooling aroused along the line fully accounts for the courageous attitude they have assumed. Independent of the issues immediately in volved, the mere fact that the notorious Fisk is once more in the field, fighting for the establishment of his fatal management over another ill-starred railway, is of itself suffi cient to arrest public attention. No new evi dence is needed that his domination over any important thoroughfare is little less than a public calamity. He should be satisfied with the existing record of fearful disasters on the line of the Erie Road, with his annihilation of opera bouft'e and the failure of his opera house speculation, without seeking to destroy tho usefulness of another railway, or to ex tend his reckless and ruinous sway. Stability of character, steadiness of purpose, adminis trative capaciiy, sterling integrity, and un ceasing carefulness, are nowhere so necessary ns in railway management; and it is one of the greatest marvels of modern times that, by any accident or neglect, a man of Fisk's calibre and characteristics should have been permitted to exorcise a commanding influence in railway matters. Tho bitterness of the New York quarrel is naturally intensified by the prevail ing dread of the dominance of one who acts in many things more like a madman than a cool headed and conscientious being, and who treats tho great avenues on which the safety of thousands of lives is daily risked as the mere sport of the stock market.
