CHARGES AGAINST STREET COMMISSIONER
CORNELL

We publish Oh another page charges against Charles
G. Cornell. Street Commissioner Of the City OF New
York. These charges, IL in ALL preferred against
Mr. Cornell by the Citizens Association and are for
alleged a official misconduct, fraudulent abuse OF
power, malfeasance and malyenation in office, and
wiliul waste and conversion of the public moneys
They have been placed in the hands of the Governor
for investigation, Who we trust, will act promptly and
theoretically.
These charges will repay careful reading. Each
contains statement that Mr.. Cornell, by his conduct,
Twas guilty Of fraud upon the said City and the
treasury thereof and the inhabitants thereof to their
great pecuniary loss and damage"
1t seems astounding that such state Of AFFAIR." as
these charges disclose should be allowed to exist 30
long. We have submitted TO these outrsges long
enough to submit longer is not patience but coward
ice And yet in face Of these niquties We find cih.
Gems who do not see the immediate necessity Of a
Board of Revision and Board of Public Works. We
cannot see how it will be possible for Mr. Cornell to
meet the figures and the mathematical calculations OF
the best engineers in the City that will be brought
against him. On looking at these charges one
instantly sees why Mr.. Cornell refuses our
tax PAYERS the right 10 examine his books and papers
and wants to be let alone. We shall watch anxiousy
the progress Of this matter and people may look
for some rich disclosures as TO how our officials work
the public purse. rs
In this connection We cannot but say that IL is IN.
| fortunate for Mayor Hoffman that his affiliations

These are the men who worked so seslousy for His
Honor at Albany, and obtained for him his nomination
for Governor. These are the men to whom he must
look for support, and who will gather around him for
rewards should he be elected. Perhaps Mr.. Hoffman
can touch pitch and not be de6led;" but We should
hesitate long before would say that any man could
long be proof against the influences Of such asso.

THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

If there were two among the old Free States which
the champions of my Policy " could hope TO carry,
they are Pennsylvania and Indiana. These States
stopped the Republican ball in mid-career in 1885,
eecting Buchanan over Fremont; and they were only
carried Republican in go by the distraction Of the
adverse host-Indiana giving Lincoln but 5.923
votes more than his antagonists. Each Of them
borders for hundreds of miles on what were till
recently Slave States, and is largely connected
with them by traffic, migration and inter
marriage. The Common School system Of Pennsyl-
yana is but thirty years DID, and its blessngshave not
been enjoyed by nearly all her native voters An
enormous naturalization in the cities and mining dis
ricts threw some Twenty Thousand new yotesn Penn
sylyania into the scale of our adversaries. To have
carried both States by decided maortes is. under the
circumstances remarkable proof that the Repubh-
Unionists are practically nyileblein the old Free
States. ~ .. ss--. : ---e-.,.r-~. II
When we triumphed in 1850, our adversaries said,
we were divided hopeless Of success, and could not
call out our strength" In 1861 they outvoted NJ in
al the Middle States. including Ohio. In so, there
was no State Election in Indiana but we rsgainsd
Pennsylvania, after desperate struggle, BY 5000
majority. In 1864, We raised this, by the hardest
work, To 10000, which We rather increased

important dispatch; l...
WASHINGTON Wednesday 0ct.lo 1866.
The President has just sent in TO the Attorney Gen
era the following questions, and requested that re-
Spouse TO them be returned in writing:
First Is the present Congress composed of mem
bers from Northern States alone, suoh Congress as
the Constitution requires or is it an illegal and un
constitutional sssemblage'
Second: Would existing circumstances Justify the
President in sending bis next annual message to an
illegal and unconstitutional assemblsge pretending to
be the Congress of the United States
Third: Does that clause In section 5th Of the first
article of the Constitution, which makes each House
the judge Of tho election returns and qualifications Of
its own members, give to the present Congress The
right to exclude the members from ton States, TO
impose dishonorsbls or unconstitutional terms upon
their sdmssioni
Fourth Does the Presidents oath Of Office require
him to enforce those provisions Of the Constitution
which give to bach State equal right Of representa-
ton in Congress- Article first, section second, Sec
ton third article fifth, last clsuse'
Fifth: What steps do the Constitution and his oath
Of Office require the President to take in order to Sc
cure the assembage Of Constitutional Congress
Upon the reply that may be made BY the Attorney
General to the above the President there 10 reason
to believe, has determined TO take his stand.
The questions put to the Attorney are all the more
important when taken in connection with the bold
utterances Of the President at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, declaring that the present ''was only
an assumed Congress, aud not the Congress the
Constitution called for" and also in connection with
similar declarations though less pointed, that fell
from his lips prior to his return to the Capital From
these uterances il is clear that the Executive has fully
made up his own mind tina. the xXxIxth Congress
was not loyal body. He now asks the opinion Of
the Attorney General upon the grave and deeply
momsntous subject and when it is given be will gov
em himself accordingly.
1t is not difficult to foreshadow what the response
Of Mr.. stanberry will be; anu hat he will chime in
fully with the opinions Of the Executive as already
expressed, there is no doubt.
