American policy, and to that question
their attention is particularly turned. The
stdta quo men hope that the Presidents re
Communications will not be endorsed by the voice
Of the nation. but that it will continue to be
what they now regard it-meEely 'the expression
Of an individual mind" On the other hand, the
men Of progress in Europe look forward with
hope to the time when "the policy Of America
with regard to Cuba shall begin to assume a sub
stantial FORM" 1t is this Substantial form"
that should be given by Congress to our Ameri-
can policy, by endorsing the recommendation of
the President, that the purchase of Cuba should
be authorized. Such step will do more towards
bringing about that desired result than anything
else can do for it will do away with the hitherto
unanimous impression on the minds of European
statesmen that the wish to acquire Cuba is only
an individual wish among us, aud not part Of
our national policy. The American policy has
been well initiated by Mr.. Buchanan, and we
hope Congress will endorse it.

THE LOBBY AT WAsHIN0ToN.--Thcrei il, SO far
as the session has progressed, marked quietude
in the operations of the lobby at the capital, and
this has led some hopefully good natured people
to believe that the odious system of assisting le-
gislaton, as it is delicately termed has received
its death blow. It is quite true that the recent
disgraceful exposures, coupled with the exhaust
ed condition Of the Treasury, have circumscribed
and changed the character of lobby operations
The Jenkinses of the Washington journals
find their occupation gone. There are
no more rose colored pictures of the
aInusements Of the aristocracy aud of the third
house in fancy costume. We are no longer in
formed as to the dazzling matronly beauty Of
Madame Smith, from Arizona, who impersonates
some courtesan Of the time of the Regency, or
the more youthful charms of the demoiselles
Jones, Of Arkansas, who strive in vain to initiate
the abandon Of the lorcttes at the opera bal maquf
There are no more suppers for Jenkins, who sits
himself down in hunger and mourning over the
departed flesh pots. The lady lobbyers are minus
the usual supply Of kid gloves and cologne, and
the professional diner out finds that the splendid
fetes belong to the light Of other days. The lobby
has, In point Of fact, retrenched. Economy is
the order Of the day, and your first class profess
sional thief is always little in advance of the
mode.
Let 1t not be supposed that because the lobby
Is not 80 palpable as before, that II is, there
fore, extinguisbed. II is not dead, but only nap
ping, with one eye open for any stray crumbs

Police REFoRM-THE SENATE COMMITTEE IN
vEsTIGATIoN.--Yhe State Senate Of last session
appointed q committee to inquire into the work
ing Of the new Police Act. This committee has
been prosecuting its inquiries during the whole
of the summer, and will shortly make its report
to the Legislature. Some Of the facts Of the
evidence taken before them have in the meaIi-
while leaked out, and they are Of the most start
ling character. Amongst numerous disgrace
full charges brought home To the officers and
members of the new police force are cor
ruption, nepotism, conformation Of crimi-
nal offences, association with thieves and bur-
glars testifying in favor Of gamblers, the COM
mission of rapes &c, &c. These facts ought not
to astonish any one acquainted with the peculiar
constitution of the force. 1t is well known that
its executive head General Superintendent Tai
madge, has, by the continual interference Of the
Commissioners with his duties been reduced to
mere cypher, and that be exercises no real
authority over the men. Each Commissioner
orders az he pleases, in defiance of the regula-
tons, and the nominations and promotions are
made in accordance with the personal views and
interests Of the Board
The report Of the committee will we believe,
establish state of facts worse than anything
that has previously existed, even amongst the
old London watchmen in Fielding's time. And
yet it is toa body thus composed that the protec-
ton OF the lives and property of over q million
of our citizens is entrusted. It is no wonder
that under such circumstances burglary, high.
way robbery, outrages against females, and muir
der, should be crimes Of daily occurrence, and
that In the majority of cases their perpetrators
should escape detection. We trust that the re-
port of the committee will soon make its ap-
pearance. If anything can shame the Legisla-
ture into the reforms called for By the general
voice Of our citizens it will be this If they
have any claim to the character OF honest men,
they will pass such measures as will etfacc at
one swoop the Legislation Of their predecessors,
and turn ont, TO herd with their associates in
the stews and kennels Of the city, the scoundrels
who are at present clad with the police uni
form. A new charter abolishing the commits
sions and independent Offices created by the
black republicans, and centering all the police
and other appointments in the Mayor, will
alone meet the evils by which we are oppressed.
Let the Legislature at once set about this ne
ccssaTy work unless, indeed, they wish to come
in for share Of The obloquy left them as a
legacy by those with whom they are said to
have political aClnities.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1859-01-11

that may fall from the legislative table. II IA
too late now to operate in favor ofprvate claims,
patent extensions and the like; 80 the lobby has
suddenly become patriotic. It's chiefs talk grand
ly about the development and progress of the
country; the duty Of Congress, in promoting that
progress, by lending the aid of the government
to such schemes as the building Of railroad to
the Pacific coast, and other small affairs of the
same kind. The lobby is also deeply impressed
with the sacred character of the bill TO pension
all the old soldiers whether they were in service
six days or six years. Such generation for the
battered defenders Of our country's starry ban
ner is touching in the extreme. The lobby, too,
is especially shocked at the idea that our Senar
tors sometimes are obliged to walk from one end
ofPennsylvania avenue to the other; SO they|
propose to build railroad on purpose for the|
relaxation of members of both houses. The lobby
is deeply concerned for the iron interest Of thc)
country, and anxious to take hand in the re-
vision of the tariff The chief operator in grand
affairs, of the free wool order, Mr.. Thur
low Weed, has been called to Albany,
where he is arranging the programme for the|
session Of our Legislature. No doubt when these
little local affairs are settled the cstimable|
chief will lend his services to the iron men AS
checrfully as he gave them to the woollen many
facturers. i
The grand scheme Of the lobby men, just at this
moment, is the Pacific Railroad, and they are de
voting all their time and attention to Senators
Gwin, Wilson and Seward, each Of whom hv}
plans for carrying out the great work The|
pressure is said to be tremendous something like
forty thousand pounds to the square inch-and|
ifany money or land is voted for the railroad tho
lobby will make the most herculean efforts I'd
finger some of it. The fact that the operations
of these cormorants are more quietly performed
than usual is no proof that they are not quite al
dangerous as ever The lobby is at work, and
we shall hear from it again before many days.

sary.
The Tribune and several others of our city con-
temporaries, are, We see, tinidly urging partial
reforms in our municipal system. They go in
for aboshing the fees in the offices Of the Corpo-
ration Counsel, the Sheriff. the County Clerk,
the District Attorney and the Coroner. That the
fee system is an abomination, and affords cover
for an enormous amount Of plumber, few will
deny. If the city were even to divide the benefit
of the money thus raised, it would still be obec-
tionable, as holding out temptations to embez-
zlementand fraud 1t is impossible when such
system exists that any reliance can be placed
upon the integrity of the public employees. 1t
is the more dangerous in community where
the persons who hold public offices are COM
posed OF the scum ofpoliticaI parties, and where
it is essential that as little latitude as possible
should be left them for the qualification of their
acquisitive propensities. To show how the fee
system works, we will first quote, from the re-
turns of the Corporation Counsel's office, the fol-
lowing items ofextra expenditure, from April to
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1859-01-11

For the money thus expended it is, of course,
impossible for any one to estimate the actual
amount Of service rendered. This in itself is q
fatal objection to the system, for in the relations
Of employers and servants wherever there is
vagueness Of account there will always be sus-
picion and dissatisfaction.
The abolition Of fees WILL however, 60 but
short way towards remedying the abuses Of our
municipal system. What we want in lieu Of
these piecemeal reforms is an entire and radical
change revolution, in short-in the whole
scheme Of our city government. Instead of
putting in brick here and a stone there to prop
up the tottering edifce, we must raze it to the
ground and reconstruct it anew. We must make
clean sweep Of all the Incompetent heads and
dishonest subordinates who have been either
principals accessories ia the wholesale spolia-
ton by which the burdens Of the city have been
swelled to their present oppressive amount.
Instead Of havinga hydra-headed municipality,
with responsibility resting no where, we must
centralize authority in the hands of one head
the Mayor-give him the appointments to all
Offices, and render him responsible to the public
for the correct conduct and efficiency Of his
nominees.
We call upon the Legislature, instead of seek
ing to patch up bad system by small amend
ments, like those suggested by some of our con-
tempOraries, to.take that bold and comprehen-
sive view Of the subject which can alone give
satisfaction to the public. The work Of recon-
struction will take them less time than thai of
cobbling and we recommend them at once to set
about it. A month spent at the task would, we
are satisfied, complete it; and if to the scheme
thus elaborated they will add a registry law and
change the elections to the spring, they will have
done more for the cause Of good government in
New York than any Legislature that has pre-
ceded them. There must, however, be no triaing
with the subject; it is not small emendations, but
wholesale revolution that we want
