And the same lesson will be repeated Though
all coming time.
There is one question which suggests itself to
every citizen-what is the excuse for this neg
lcct of the plain duties of the Street Contract
orr He receives an appropriation of S49S,OO0
TO be expended in certain work. He knew the
amount he was to get, the work to be done,
the expense of doing it yet while he takes
good care to draw his installments from
the City Treasurer, we cannot see that
he is equally anxious to use them
There is great indifference or great
mismanagement in his department-probably
BOTH We shall probably be told that the ap-
priation is insufficient, that the cost of labor is
excessive, and that as soon as the streets are
cleaned people will dirty them again. These
have been the standing excuses of contractors
for years, and the people are tired of hearing
them If Judge Whiting has not the means
to clean the city he should throw up his con-
tract; or if he remains i'll Office, and refuses
to-" thoroughly clean" it, we are justified in
refusing to perform our part of the obllga-
ton. The summary method of reform tried
last Winter is the best now let the streets
be cleaned, or lot us stop the appropriation

The principle of religious liberation has, of
late, made great progress in Europe, and in
most countries there is steady, though a
slow, advance toward the separation between
Church and State. as it exists in the United
States But much remains yet to be done.
Catholic Spain still forbids natives from avow-
ing themselves to be Protestants, and from
meeting for Protestant worship. The legisa-
tion of Protestant Sweden has recently again
refused to legalize marriages between Swedes
who are not communicates Of the National
Lutheran Church. The authorities of the
Principality of Roumania, which processes the
Greek religion, have just been guilty of the
most shocking outrages against Jews. 1t is
however, gratifying to know that in each of
the countries named there is a Liberal party,
which is ashamed of such intolerance, and
which takes an active part in the general
struggle of the European Liberals for reli-
gious freedom.

TIE SANITARY CONDITION or THIS CITY
The reports which we publish to-day upon
the condition Of the streets OF Ncw-Iork are
the result of a careful and thorough canvass
of the principal portions of the city, and they
unquestionably show that the street-cleanng
contractors have not thoroughly cleaned,
once in each week." all the paved streets OF
the city. 1t is true that the Street-Cleaning
Commission, in session yesterday, resolved
that Contractor Whiting had, "snce the last
payment, swept and cleaned the streets sub
"stantially in accordance with his contract"
basing this conclusion upon the reports Of
"the Inspector appointed by this Board" But
we beg to put Upon record another and q
different conclusion, formed upon the reports
! of corps Of inspectors appointed by The
TRIBUNE, who, We venture TO say, are fully as
exact in locating nnisances as the official
inspector aforesaid. These reports we publish
in other columns. They show that the work of
| publication has been very unequally performed.
| Some of the wards have been carefully cleaned,
and are in very gratifying sanitary condition /;
portions of others have been apparently almost
utterly neglected. We know that the Con-
tractor claims (and his friends for him) that

years, and it will be noticed that several
of our reporters make the same comparison in
regard to certain localities. Now, this is not
the point ut issue. James II. Whiting did not
contract to keep the streets "as clean MS in
"fomer years." but to have the streets, alleys,
CUTTERS wharvcs, and piers thoroughly cleaned
" once III each week. Because Brown, Devoc
g. Knapp did not execute the spirit and inten-
ton of their contract, that fact in no way re-
lieves the purchaser of that contract, but rather
increases his responsibility for by that purchase
he implied the ability and intention to do well
what the others had done poorly.
The Seventh Ward is wretehedly filthy. The
cross-strcets near the East River, from Nine
teenth to Thirty -fourth-sts., are strewed with
foul nuisances which poison the surrounding
atmosphere. Heaps Of filth and pools of stag
nant water stand in Ninth-ave. Filthy pools,
which will be breeding places for the cholera,
exist in Fifty-frst, Fifty-tbird and Fifty-fouIth-
sts. After all past experiences it is superilu0us

The fatal issue of the Mexican Intervention
continues to expose the French Government to
powerful attacks from the leading men and
organs Of the Liberal Opposition. The speech
of Theirs on the history Of the Intervention has
been followed by a terrible exposition by
Berryer Of the fnanciering of the French Gov
ernment in the bonds of the Mexican Empire.
The language of most Of the semi Official papers
is exceedingly desponding. They generally
own, with La France, that the deplorable end
Of the Mexican Empire is for France an inn
mense misfortune and an irreparable check,
but they insist that at the beginning of tlc
intefventioh there vas feason to hope fol
better result. The Liberal papers find it, OF
course, easy to reply to such apologies; but
the Press law prevents them from following VI
their victory. .. .....

The second session of the North German
Parliament will commence in Berlin on the
eth of August. As the Prussian Government
has recently issued number of unpopular
DEGREES, and as the split among the Liberals
has to some extent been compromised, it is
hoped that the Liberal party will this time be
more successful than at the previous election.
At convention of prominent men of the
Liberal party of all the South German States
held at Stuttgardt yesterday, resolutions were
adopted urging the South German States to
unite with the North German Confederation.

That the Tennessee election is victory for
amnesty, is supported by the probable assertion
that at least 10000 colored votes were not
poled, because of Rebel threats and the want
of polling places. 1t is estimated that even If
no Rebels had been dsfranchised Brownlow
would have been elected. The Republicans of
Tennessee understand that wise and gener-
ous amnesty cannot return tho State to Rebel
rule, while many of the disfranchised will join
tue Republican ranks.

The constitutiOnality of the Board Of Audit
was argued before Judge Barnard in Chambers
on Tuesday, on motion to make perpetual the
injunction already granted against them. To
say nothing of the legal question of constitu-

which seems to us very serious: tho city has
no appeal from their decisions, while the claim
ants have All of the Sa,0Oo,OOO of claims which
they sec fit to allow must be paid without FUR

The Pmssan Government is anxious for the
safety of Baron Won Magnus, the Prussan
Minister in Mexico, as no dispatches have been
received from him since he tried to save tS
life of Macmillan. We do not believe that,
as the Prussian Government fears, the Gov
eminent of the Mexican Republic have treated
the Minister in a manner contrary to the law
of nations. We should have heard OF such
treatment bY this time.

average, or common depth, oi about
ten feet, and ON the bars about two,
Ono bar of about four miles across
and one ofubout tourhundrcd yards,
Many places however besides the
bars are much less than ten feet
These obsticlcs taken in connection
with the narrow channel Of the
Bayou, that would barely admit Of
the passage II two steam ships ut
any point, would almost force any
one, but the energetic and enter
prising citizens of Houston, to the
conclusion, that it is impossible to
make n roadstead and harbor here
sufficient for the great ships Of IN
importing trade. But Houston has
been made by the enterprise and
energy of the very men who are
pow contemplating this great i'm
provment, aad perhaps, the same
spirit, together with the accumu-
lated capital they can command may
enable them to overcome all these
difficulties. They have secured n
line direct to New Orleans for travel
and reduced the fare to eight dollars,
That is very cheap and will subscrvc
the purpose of large portion of the
travel east, They have direct
navigation line to New York and
goods may now be shipped to Milli-
can without any expense of reship-
mont either at Galveston or Hous-
ton. This seems to be very gene
rous, as it is an enterprise Of llous-
ton, and they pass the freight to
Millican without wariage, storage
or drayage here.
The people of Houston deserve
much at the hands Of those who
trade from the interior of the State,
and with equal chances she will get
their patronage.
| have had the honor ofconversing
with many intelligent citizens of
Houston and other portions of the
State on the subject Of the Military
Bill and the supplement- thereto and
all seem to be of one mind and that
is to accept it and make the best of
it we can. Let us have peace and
restoration, they say, and then try to
work through and correct what we
do not like otter we have secured
our place in the Union and in Con
gress. / am confident that inditlcr-
ance and defiance on our part will
work our ruin as in Missouri and in
Tennessee. We must enter into it
and do what we can to conduct it
through in the best way possible to
preserve our interests.
Yours, &.
