CITY REPORM-TME ALBANY Sen.
ATORiAL COMnITTEE.

The Senatorial Investigating Committee now
ia session in Our city has no easy task before 1t.
It has to deal with giant evils, and must expect
10 hear all sorts OF evidence upon Ill points.
The lower STRATA Of our politicians have never
been remarkable for their adherence 10 veracity
in cases where their interests ore concerned. II
will therefore be impossible, IL a majority oil
cases, to bring home particular acts of guilt to
particular parties. The Committee VIII be
Obliged to arrive at general conclusions from a
survey Of the entire ground; and These cOnclu-
sioBs will have TO be accepted as the basis OF
legislation by our representatives at Albany.
Let not the Committee give heed TO those inter-
ested advisers who would confine Their investi-
CATION ~ one particular department. ii the
City Inspectors Department be utterly corrupt,
let il be broken up, and all good citizens will
say "ainen;" but let not the Finance, Street
and other departments be overlooked or white
washed" for this reason. Over all the one sys-
TEN PREVAILS and the verdict which strikes
down one is prima .jac< evidence againot all the
others.
The difficulty the Committee will experience
in obtaining evidence may be best illustrated
by few examples, showing how officials, by
swearing the exact truth, may yet swear, prac-
tieally, most egregious falsehoods. Thus, ior H.
stance, Alderman Ottiwell may swear that he
has no interest in any contract for furnishing
the Street Department with stoves, scutilcs, TN
ware, and other things connected with his busi-
ness; yet the facts will yet appear to be that no
is a member OF the Aldermanic Ring" and
his clerk, Mr.. Shoettel, draws thousands OF dol
lars annually out of the City Treasury, and tho
goods furnished are taken from the stock Of Al
derman Ottwells store in Thrd-aye.
We might 90 on, and have Alderman Jones
swear upon examination that the tens Of thou
sands Of dollars paid by the City for articles taken
from his store in Centre-st. had no connection
with his being member Of the "Councilmanic
Ring" for the past six or seven years; yet the
fact is patent that he has grown rich from this
source of revenue, while bis convenient
dummy" has not amasscd fortune in the
same time. Yet Alderman Jones would swear,
probably, that no never received dollar, d.
rectly or indirectly, for the thousands Of feet

THE PAPER DUTY.
TIE Erening Post says:


"Tho prediction is again repeated that n The pro.
hb0ry duty imported paper be taken of the paper
makers will be ruined."'
Who says thisi Where is it saidl How
much is this "prohibitory dutyl' Why not tell
your readers that it is just twenty per cent
one-Gfh of the valuei DO you not pay al un-
willing tribute to our paper-makers by calling
this duty prohibitory1"
We hSe no doubt that The Post believes in
its Free Trade theory, os ii has no doubt Of our
faith in Protection; but il does seem impossible
to make Free Trader treat fairly the positions
OF an opponent. Our view is, that the true ray
10 make Paper cheap in our country is 10 encourage
Tire building and running Of more P0per-MiHs.
1t would not be dilicnlt TO make an
irnoramus believe that it was the want of
foreign competition in ewspapers-theinabilit
that is, of British or French newspaper to
replace On American newspaper in our country
as perfectly as yard of foreign calico supplants
one Of American production--that has enabled
and melted The Post and Tng TRIBUNE 10
advance their prices; but it would not be true.
The nominal advance Was forced on us by the
depreciation Of our Paper Currency; and such,
we doubt not, is the case with the paper-makcrs
also.
We presume the price Of Paper might be
temporarily reduced trac by taking off the
duty; but VIC think the temporary advantage
thus secured TO our craft would entail an
ultimate and permanent loss. Only restore
some approach TO soundness in our Currency,
and we shall have Paper cheap enough under
the present duty, as we have had in times gone

If no speeches bad been made in its favor by
