The Board Of Counclmcn considered yesterday
the Post-Ofic job" but did not act. They have
already valued the City Hall Park site for Post-Ofcc
at o million of dollars; but Yesterday Councilman
proposed that the price should be five millions 1t may
be supposed therefore that our puhlic-spri'ed rulers
look upon the proposition to buy new PoSt.Oice as
a laughable absurdity, unless large job can be made
of it, We shall not easily persuade either Council
man or an oyster that it is more to the advantage Of
New ork TO have its Post-Oce in the Park than 1t
is to the General Government. five shall have still
she'd or barn for Post Office, it will be the fault Of
these reckless Dogberrys in council.

Mr. Isaac Bel, who holds by appointment OF Con-
troler Brennan an Office worth $4,000 year, IS re-
ported as a wandcrer at large among banks and IN
surance companies to obtain signatures to paper
prasing the honesty and economy of the Con-
troller. 1t may be natural to Mr.. Bell to help
his beneiactor in this way; but we are not
sure that it is to the public advantage. While
grave charges against Controller Brennan are
pending before the Governors Commission, 1t will be
only prudent for those who are asked TO favor Mr..
Bells petition to their signatures till the
Controller has fairly acquitted himself Of the charge
that he has not in many years Of Office used il to the
public advantage. We give elsewhere the array Of
charges against the Controller which are twelve in
number and evidently serious.

Notwithstanding the friendly assurances toward the
United States Of which the mcmlers Of the Derby
Cabinet have been so lavish it would seem that ouT
claims for losses suffered during the late war from
Rebel cruisers Of British nationality are not likely to
meet from the Government with the consideration to
which they are in common fairness entitled. The po'
siton taken up by Lord Stanley, as reported IN an
Atlantic Gable Dispatch is by no means reassurng as
to an amicable settlement Of the differences between
this country and England arising out Of the depreda-
tons of Rebel cruisers on our commerce.

They appeared to take great interest in the pro-
ceedings of Court, and expressed their willingness
to render any aid required of them in enforcing
its mandates. And yet, the presence of garrisons,
and of Agents of the Frccdman's Bureau in our
midst, however uncxceptionable their conduct, Is
the only hindering to our perfect quiet, and
rapid restoration to contcntment and prosperity.
They are kept here osensibly to preserve the peace
of society and protectthe freedmen from abuse and
oppression; but it is clear, from past experience,
that from their want of acquaintance with the
country and the people, they can do neither efcc-
tually. If they were removed, our entire popula-
tion would recognize the obligation to discharge,
in good faith, oil the duties with which they are
charged The relations between the races would
at once be fixed by mutual interests and sympa-
thies, on basis mutually advantageous and satis-
factory and no more quiet, contented or loyal
population would exist anywhere in the United
States than in the upper Districts of South Caro-
lima. ". n.
