The street Commissioner and the Wharves
and Piers.

The street Commissioner and the Wharves
and Piers.
The communication from the Citizens Asso-
citation to the Street Commissioner which we
published yesterday reveals very extraordi-
nary state of affairs in relation to keeping our
wharves and piers in repair. According to the
statements of the Association the work is most
loosely and extravagantly done and they assert
that they do not make these allegations upon
mere presumption or guess, but that they
have had the piers and wharves surveyed, and
thus what they state is matter of fact and
actual calculation. They charge that more
workmen are employed than necessary, that
four men in days work only lay one dollars
worth of planking, while their wages amount
to ten or twelve dollars. The Association fur
Their charge that in the months during which
elections take place, or pending elections, four
times as many men are employed by the Com
missioner as at any other time, but that less
work has been done on the wharves by the
larger than by the smaller NUMBER thus imply
ing that the men are used for other purposes
than attending to the wharves and piers. They
further complain that the Commissioner
charged the city from thirty-fve to thirty-seven
dollars thousand feet for lumber, when the
market price was only twenty-five dollars, and
that an aggregate amount of one hundred and
seven thousand feet of lumber charged for has
never been accounted for in the work done.
Now, Mr.. Mclean may be an average good
Street Commissioner, as our public officers
generally 60, but it seems strange that all
these facts should have to be brought before
any official having control of his own depart
ment by volunteer society of citizens who
took the trouble to find out facts and frauds in
connection with public department of which,
it is to be hoped, its official head knew nothing
The charges of the Citizens Association are
not general. They are specific and minute in
detail. To their communication Mr.. Mclean
replies that he is grateful for their suggestions
and will look into the matter. One might well
ask the question why he did not look into the
matter while the alleged frauds were being
committed. If the charges are true the Street
Commissioner must be either der elict in his
duty or his subordinates must be too smart for
him. Mr.. Mclean promises that he will give
the subject presented an immediate and a
thorough examination and communicate ac-
cordingly. While we trust that he will be
able to explain the matters which the Citizens
Association have brought to light, it is to be
regretted that he did not take measures long
ago to render the presentation of such charges
unnecessary, if they should happen to be
proved true

rOubles in Tennessee-Goveruor Brown
lows Proclamation.

sOW'S FrOClamdIlOus
Governor Brownlow, of Tennessee, has just
issued proclamation calling on the loyal men
of the State to raise companies of loyal militia,
to report to him at Nashville, for the purpose
of protecting the State from the depredations
of the Ku Klux Khan. He hopes, of course,
that the new force may not be called into the
field; but in case they are he proposes to meet
the enemy with force and in manner that
the exigency may demand whatever may be the
consequence. The fact that General Thomas,
commanding the department, had recently
received instructions from the President, in
view of the depredations alluded to by the
Governor, to call for sufficient force Of
United States troops to maintain order, is an
incident that does not cause the Governor to
be any more moderate than he would other
wise have been in the number of militia that
he calls for. In fact, he expresses a doubt of
the General being furnished with sufficient
troops to maintain order; and if his doubt
should be incorrect and the federal troops
should prove sufficient he proposes to CO ope-
rate with them. The Fifth regiment of cav
alry-probably portion of the troops called
for-passed through Lynchburg, Va, yester-
day on their way to Nashville.

sh Press ON America and The
American Minister.

American Minister.
Our new Minister to England, Mr.. Reyerdv
johnson, has put the British press and people
in the most amiable mood. They are greatly
hurt just now at any unkind expressions
towards the United States. Mr. Roebuck,
who ventured to say some rather severe things
at the Sheffield dinner, has brought down upon
himself an avalanche of censure. Yes, we are
cherishe as tenderly as the apple of the eye
by our En- glish brothers and cousins. Even
their own orators must not speak of US harshly
or unkindly. We are all English at the core
on both sides of the Atlantic, Notwithstanding
the numbers of Germans, Irish, Spaniards,
French and people of other nationalities who
come to America. The English element and
influence here, they say, absorb all the rest.
In summing up this complacent and beautiful
eulogy the leading British organ exclaim 9,
1.-The result is all English" 1t is proudly
claimed that the people Of the two countries
have common nature, common language and
literature, the same fundamental political
principles and institutions, and, in fact, that
both are wonderfully alike in every respect.
What change has come over the spirit of our
British cousins!
Well, this is all very agreeable The COM
pliments to Mr.. Johnson both by the people
and public men of England and the prompt
and i1attering reception of him by the Queen
are fully appreciated on this side the Atlantic
The tone of the press and public feeling gene
rally is also gratifying. 1t is really overwhelm-
ing, and we cannot, under this state of things,
revert to the past or argue the question Of
identity Of character, nature and institutions
We are fairly subdued by this outburst of fra
ternal feeling 1t is to be hoped Mr.. Johnson
will be as successful in drawing out of the
British settlement of the Alabama claims and
other unsettled matters as he has been In touch
ing their hearts. England seems to have re-
served the full outburst of affection for her
offspring till it arrived at the strength and dig
nifty of manhood. We are great and powerful
now and hence the superabundance Of affec-
ton lavished upon us. This is assuredly the
era Of good feeling, and we hope it may con-
tinue forever.

HOFFMAN.-The Maine election has univer-
sally given new impulse of enthusiasm and
confidence to the republicans and has corre-
spondingly depressed the disappointed democ-
racy. They may now not only consider tho
prospect of Seymours election as the next
thing to no prospect at all, but they may very
well feel anxious as to the safety of Hoffman as
their candidate for Governor in the Empire
State; for the same causes which defeated
Seymour in 1864 and Hoffman in 1866 are again
uppermost. Even the lager beer question Of
1867 is PLAYED out.

odd drain here and there, but can boldly take
up this subject in the right spirit and require
that every house rented for tenements shall be
constructed for the purpose and in a way to
insure that 1t can easily be kept clean, and
that light and air shall have free access to
every apartment, then, indeed, particularly
hot night in the homes Of the city poor will not
be as destructive to life as battle and the
rate of mortality will keep much nearer to a
good average.

The September Meeting OF Congress.


Mr.. Morgan, of the Senate, and Mr.. Schenck,
of the House of Representatives, in the exer-
else of the discretion reposed in them, have
issued call for the reassembling of the two
Houses of Congress on Monday next. They
do not propose to enter into any business, but
they wish quorum to be present promptly at
noon in each house, so that they may at once
provide for another meeting If necessary in
the interval to December. But why these ex-
traordinary precautions to meet contingencies !?
This question may be answered in two words
Andy Johnson. The two houses distrust
Andy Johnson. IL he had declared himself in
favor of General Grant ii would have been all
right; but Messrs. Morgan and Schenck have
their misgivings of ''the man at the other end
OF the avenue" looking at him as supporter
of Mr.. Seymour. With a free course before
him till December there is no telling what this
belligerent Johnson might do. lie might, ac-
cording to the carpet-baggers, turn Rollins
and all the radical ofiiceholders out neck and
heels; he might play the very deuce among
the Southern negroes and get up such fuss
generally as TO throw the whole election of
November into chaos. Hence Messrs. Morgan
and Schenck have thought it wise TO keep a
tight rein upon Andy, though we dare say he
cares very little in point of fact whether Grant
or Seymour is elected, inasmuch az neither
Seymour nor Grant is the ticket which he had
cut out for this campaign

vote will be fully doubled, and everywhere
there are unmistakable Indications that on the
question of loyalty, on the question of policy,
on the question Of morality and on the question
OF whiskey and lager beer the State of New
York will 60 back to her old position and cast
heavy majority against the copperhead
democracy. Hiagat

dred majority. In 1866. on a full vote, the re-
publicans elected their Governor by seventeen
thousand. The same issues being up again
now the same result may follow in the coming
October election, and if so the Presidential
election viii be settled and the general election
of November will be reduced to mere for
mality.

Tho Coming Opcrn Season.

In the coming opera season Italian opera, it
| seems, is to be conspicuous only by its alb
sence. Mapleson has decided not to come to
New York until next year, and has written a
request to be released from his engagement
with the stockholders of the American Acad-
envy of Music. One reason, perhaps the prin-
cipal reason, assigned for this important change
in the programme is the difficulty, il not the
impossbiity, of securing first class tenors. A
tenor has always been rare bird, and now
that Mario is too old, that Stigelli has just
died in his Italian vila and that Mazzoleni has
buried himself alive in his, Mapleson despairs
of finding successor for either Of these emf
nent artists, and is constrained to decline COM
petition in New York with op6ra J0ute under
the energetic and successful management of
Bateman and Grau. These enterprisng i'm
presarii will therefore have it all their own
way this fall and winter, unless, indeed, Signor
Albites should be encouraged by his nu-
merous friends and admirers again to enter
the field and to renew the proposition which
he lately made to the stockholders of the
Academy of Music. IL they conclude an
arrangement with him it is to be
hoped that he will carefully avoid all
the qucksands on which his predeces-
sors have been shipwrecked Especially
will II be indispensable for him to profit by the
happy experience of Manager Grau and Man
ager Bateman, who have conclusiyeiy proved
how heartily the New York public appreciates
determination to supply it not only with ccle-
brated and gifted leading singers and actors,
but with stock companies admirably qualified
TO support them. Grau and Bateman have
already reaped the first fruits Of the harvest
which only such skilful and liberal manage
ment as theirs can promise They are begin
ming to roll in wealth that California or Peru
might envy, and ere long we shall doubtless
have the pleasure Of obronicing mundcent
contributions from them TO our various city
charities, while we shall be subjected TO the
painful necessity of publishing occasional news
of the melancholy privations and wandcrings
among our Western Indians to which very
opposite policy has condemned that illlated
Bohemian, Max Mareizek.
II neither Mapleson nor Albitcs shall open
the doors OF the Academy of Music during The
approaching season, perhaps the Howard Mis-
sion may secure the vast and cavernous build
ing for MONDAY prayer meetings. which Allen.
