THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR CIV
TRIAL PARK.--It Is understood that the Central
Park Commissioners are about to apply to the
Common Council for an appropriation Of $780,
600, and NC advise the boards Of the Council to
be very cautious how they accede to that do
mand. From the recent partizan action of the
Commissioner, fair grounds for suspicion exist
that the money may be applied to political pur-
poses as well as for the Improvement Of the
park a portion Of II may be expended in
laying ont lawns drives and Wake but
some Of II may be appropriated to the expenses
Of the black republican party in the next cleo
ton. II the Common Council consent to give
this large sum, IL should be with such rcstric-
tons as would prevent any Of II being used for
electioneering purposes II is quite evident
that the Central Park Commission, with its black
republican majority, is monstrous political
job, and the Common Council cannot be too
careful how they intrust the public money to It's
charge without some guarantee that IL will be

A Naval War with KrRiand-In RESULT
Nero and There


The resolutions introduced in the ScsAte yes
terdsy, to confer power upon the President to
protect the honor Of the republic when delay
would be incompatible with its dignity, will
meet the appreciation of the country. The
occurrence Of o naval war with England at
the present time, under the provocation caused
by the recent fagitious outrages upon our
commerce in the ports and waters Of Cuba, is
not only a thing not far beyond the bounds Of
probability, but is looked upon by many in
teresss here as . thing eminently desirable in
the present juncture Of affairs.
There has been no time for a long series of
years past and will not be for very many to
come, when such a war would inhict upon US 80
little injury ard bring 30 much benefit rs now.
Our foreign commerce has dwindled down to
its minimum point, and our domestic trade is
stagnant, through the effects OF the late financial
revulsion. Under the curtailment which our
commerce with foreign nations has undergone
for the past six months, there is probably not
one third of the American interests aloat nov
that there was one year ago. Owing to the
same cauee, the five hundred millions Of specie
in the country has left the healthy channels of
circulation, and is In a large degree aecumu-
lated as dead weight in our bank vaults

with England it would have both present and
prospective effect upon us, which would in the
aggregate be very advantageous In apoliticsl
point Of view, it would stop at once all this
senseless sectional agitation upon the slavery
question. II would settle forever the tariff dis
cassion, by stopping 70 ra time our revenue from
foreign trade, and force us at once into the sys

enough TO bear. II would necessitate the i'm
mediate construction of wagon road TO Cali

continued long enough, would build the rail.

But IL is in it's material point Of view that a

DRAMATIC ROws.-The recent row between
two sock and buskin or rather kid gioved aud
patent leather booted heroes has attracted con-
siderable attention from the press and the pub
Lie. 1t came off at q time when the town was a
bit dull and was godsend for all the gossips.
We have not, in spite of the inundation Of
cards and counter cards. heard the end of it
yet The whole subject will afford to the
philanthropic and philosophic Rev. DR.. Bel
lows another opportunity to pronounce one Of
bis delightful essays upon the morals Of the
theatre, descanting upon that charming frank
ness which causes the heroes aforesaid not to
hide their sins under q bushel, but to parade
them-not without some ostentation-in full
gaze of an admiring public. Confession being
next to repentance, the belligerent actors are
already in the halfway house to redeeming
grace.
But If the graceful apologist for the theatre
should shrink from the task, what splendid
opportunity is opened for his oppouents-the
straight laced parsons-who believe that the
theatre Is the road to eternal damuation, the
gateway Of hell! They will argue from the
facts in the Davenport and Mathews case, that
all the actors take each others wives-call
Broadway, and then print circumstantial &C
counts of the whole matter in the daily papers
Then we should not be surprised to see q memo
rial for the suppression OF the theatres and the
humiliation Of the actors sent to the
Mayor and Police Commissioners, aud
headed by James Harper or Barnum The
comedians are certainly no better thaa the news
boys, who are to be suppressed 1t seems In
fact, the newsboys do not often blackcn each
others eyes, and then make fuss about il 10
the papers They give and take-the best wins
and there's an end of it.
Some Of our contemporaries are particularly
severe upon Mathews, and seem to argue that
because he is a foreigner he must necessarily be
more immoral than an actor from under the
star spsngled banner. We do not believe that
nationality has anything to do WIN morality
A. far "a the players are concerned they arc
pretty much the same all over the world. "A:
to Davenport bis private affairs have furnished
matter for the Sunday journals during toe past
year or two, and probably Mathews thought he
might as well have little notoriety through the
same means
In another aspect of the csse the rcncontre
between the comedians will doubtless help the
treasures Of the theatres where they play
Mathews goes soon to entertain her Majesty
Canadian liegcs, and Davenport is at Wsllack's
Both the heroes will attract attention-such /:
the morbid curiosity of our people just at thi:
time. The pugnacious Davenport will be the
centre of curiosity for the ladies and the fight
ing men, while everybody where Mathews
and his wife perform will be anxious TO see thc
beauty for which oceans of ink and thimblesfull

POLITICIANS AND TAxPAYxRs-m PLWNpR
OF The TRxAsRY.-The idea Of orsaaising "A
ind. pendent party Of the taxpayers Of the city
to resist political corruption and keep down
taxation, gains streng every day, and We hope
before long to zee the first step taken towards
that object. Although 1t Is true that many tax
payers are to be found In each of tho different po
litcsl parties, participating in the action Of the
black republican committees, the Know Nothing
lodges and the Tammany societies and cliquos,
still It Is equally true that they are not the
managers add controllers therein. A set Of
non-taxpaying adventurers always contrive to
hold the reins in all those bodies. II Is they
who govern everything, and they manage to
befog the men Of wealth and Intelligence among
them by raising various issues quite foreign to
the most vital Of all questions, the good gov
eminent of the city. One time they are making
fuss aboAt Kansas; another time the vital in
terests of society Inside Of Tammany, and
one outside Of that wigwsm, are sg'tating tho
political mind bat all these questions are raised
simply to blind the intelligent men of the
different parties, while the city treasury
is being plaDdered. OF what Importance is
Ksnsas or TammApy Hall, or any such question,
to the property owners Of this city, compared
with those Of the proper disbursement of the
revenues, the preservation Of the peace, the
security of life and property, and the reduction
of the taNess The care Of our own city gov
ernment is q far more important duty for them
even than the affairs of the State Legisia-
ture or of Congress; and If all petty po-
litical issues were left to be squabbled
about by the email politicians, rowdies and
fighting men of each party, and the taxpayers
took care of their pockets we would soon have
the best governed, instead of the worst governed
city in the world, and the affairs of State would
he none the worse conducted. The proper way
to do this is by the formation of an Independent
party. We have the material for such a party
at band. We have the names and the residences
of every one of the fifty thousand taxpayers il
the city, and can lay our finger on them at am
moment. They are always available; but WIN
knows the resort of the vagsbond element il
the parties of the day We know where it is to b.
found when primary elections or grogshop eau
cuses are on the taps but where it hides itsel
in honest day light it is not easy to describe.
The great MACS of the taxpaying communit.
must be awake by this time to conviction O
the enormous amount of plonder they have beel
subjected to for the last ten years, and If the
are not utterly insensible to their own interests
they must be ripe for the organization of such
party as we suggest. Let some one make
move, then-csll . meeting-and the work vii
