Of contrary opinions only is enough to insure
that one shall be held up to the world a. the

one above their ding or give warrant against
their malign utterances. Our greatest

Streets md Street Assessments.

The manner in which assessments are made
for street improvements is one Of the most
charming parts of the machinery by which the
city is governed through the influence of the
Tammany ring. For instance, people have
been assessed to the tune Of thousand and
even fifteen hundred dollars for the opening Of
Church street, and not o shovelful Of earth
has been turned up there yet as preliminary
to the opening, and perhaps never will be.
Heavy assessments have boon laid upon
property also for laying the Nioolson pavement
in Nassau street, near Wall street, which now
turns out to be perfectly rotten and worthless.
We believe it has had to be torn up and re-
newed about half dozen times since it was
originally set down, and is as bad to-day a.
ever. II has, in fact, proved unfit for such
heavy traffic as our streets are subjected to.
Broadway is being ripped up at various points
to make way for q new stone pavement which
is presumed to be better than the old We
hope it may turn out to be SO, but we cannot
see why the old blocks should be broken up
there in order to be used elsewhere, thus con-
verting Broadway for tho time being into .
stone quarry and delaying the repairs about
four times longer than there is any necessity
for, the most important blocks in THAI
thoroughfare being meantime rendered impass-
able. This whole matter Of street-bunglinS
and heavy assessments furnishes only anothes
chapter in the story Of gross Encouragement
and corruption In the municipal governments

Tho PnruSunynn War--prospccis Of Peace.
The announcement by Atlantic cable from
Paris to the effect that tho new President of
the Argentine Confederation, Colonel Domingo
+. Sarmiento, "has proposed negotiations for
peace between Brazil and Paraguay" will be
hailed with joy all over this Continent. We
must, however, call attention to the wording
of the news. The propositions are ''for peace
between Brazil and Paraguay" Can il BIO
that President Sarmiento no longer recognizes
his own country and Uruguay as parties to the
WARP If the official wording of the PROPOSE
lions Is like that Of the cable despatch we
must take the fact rs hint that the new Ar
eentine administration means to leave Brazil to
fight her own battles. Such course would be
natural for statesman like President Sarmi-
ento, who fully understands the secrets Of this
war and has studied the needs and tho in
terests OF republican government in the New
World. His long residence IS Minister at
Washington has also given him chance to
understand the. policy and interests Of the
United States.
The Paraguayan war should be stopped at
once, and our government ought to encourage
and support the efforts made by President
ssrmiento to have peace restored - speedily
az possible. II IL highly favorable for the
mission Of General Mcmahon to the Rio de 10
Plata that such man Is Colonel Sarmiento
should preside over the destinies Of the Argen-
tine Confederation, and under tho manage

must prevail. Should the Argentine Coincide

at Pekin should seek the friendship Of
the United States? What more natural
than that II should offer the high
position q ambassador to Mr. Burllngame,
an American citizen who, rs Minister from his
own country, had shown great ability and the
best disposition toward China? Under the sfr-
cumstances it was necessary to lake an
American or q European s.or the mission. there
being no Chinaman sufficiently instructed in
such matters abroad. Had Sir Frederick
Bruce, the former British Minister. been in
China at the time he might have been offered
the honor; for he, like Mr.. Burlingame, was q
friend of China and favored the new policy re-
speeding the national rights Of the Chinese and
the integrity of their great empire. We say,
then, it was natural that Mr.. Burlingame should
be offered the position of envoy and that he
should come here first to make treaty. This
jealousy on the part of the British with regard
to America is as puerile as it is futile The
destiny of this country with regard to its power
and commerce on and across the Pacific can
not be arrested by Great Britain or any other
nation. We shall march with giant strides to
fulfil that destiny, and though England has at
present by far the largest trade with China it
will not be long before we shall occupy that
position. IT. year or two the Pacific Rail
roads will span the Continent; then there will be
several steamship lines across the Pacific Ocean,
with teegraphic communication to China and
Japan. All this win be only the work of a
few years, and when accomplished the vast
trade of Eastern Asia will be turned to and
across the American Continent. The United
States must, in the natural course of events,
become the centre Of the world and will con-
troll the destiny Of China, Japan and other
parts of the Asatic Continent facing the Pa
ciic Ocean. It will not be, however, by force
Of arms, but by the power of commerce and
ideas. If any conflict should come in the flu
ture between any Of the great Powers for SUI
premacy or influence over the trade or in
terests Of that part of the world it is more
likely to be between Russia and the United
States, though the two nations now are so
friendly. The destiny of Russia is eastward
and ours westward, and we shall meet in time.
Russia is continually marching onward in that
direction, as we see by her conquests in Bokhara
and other parts Of Eastern Asia and by her
significant refusal to ratify the treaty made by
General Won Kaufman with the Emir of
Bokhara But with regard to the jealousy of
England relative to our relations and influence
with China at the present time or in the i'm
mediate future, it will not be wise for her to
make quarrel or to throw herself Extensively
in our path. for we can seize and hold the
Canadas and all the British possessions on
this Continent with little difficulty. Then, after
doing that and becoming continental empire,
our power and influence would still be as great
or greater across the Pacific Ocean and over
Eastern Asia.

Treasury CorruptiOn-The Presidents Duty.
There is just and widespread Indignation
felt, not only in Wall street, but among the
business public generally at the conduct of the
Secretary of the Treasury and the Assistant
Treasurer in selling gold and flve-twentes at
the present critical juncture in the money
market, when it Is being made artificially strin-
gent by strong combination of gold and stock
spectators, whose object is to create panic.
The unanimous opinion Of disinterested and
reputable men in the financial community Is
that Messrs McCulloch and Van Dyck have
acted as the mere tools Of this stock jobbing,
gold-gambling combination, and have, there
fore, abused the trust conhded to them and
proved themselves unworthy Of their position.
This is grave suspicion, but oil the circum-
stances Of the case 60 to prove that 1t is well
founded. Moreover, 1t is not the first
time that they have played into the hands Of
bull and bear combinations in gold and stocks
and brought scandal upon the department 1t
is, therefore, high time that such gross abuse
should be stopped and that stockholders and
gold gamblers should cease to control the ad :
ministration and resources Of the Treasury.
We therefore call upon the President to act
promptly in this matter by suspending Mr.
McCulloch and Mr.. Van Dyck from Office and
ordering an immediate investigation into the
affairs Of the Treasury. They are evidently
using their official position to promote their
interests as stockholders and gold spectators
regardless of the injury they may inflict upon
the public, and as such they are disgrace to
the government.
Il has been rumored of late that gold has
been borrowed from the Sub-Treasury by
prominent bear spectators for purposes best
known to themselves, and although we do not
vouch for the truth OF the report II calls for
investigation. The monetary stringency in
Wall street was SO great yesterday that q
quarter per cent per diem was paid for loans,
and but for the secret aid Of the Treasury this
would have been impossible. The question is
asked, why did not Mr.. McCulloch sell gold
when the premium was ten per cent higher
and the money market was beyond the reach
OF disturbance, and why, II he had fve-twenties
to sell, he did not pursue q similar course !?
How far the blame rests upon the Assistant
Treasurer we cannot say; but rs Mr.. McCul-
loch is the responsible head Of the department
he must bear the odium Of all that has occurred,
and the President should not shrink from the
performance Of his duty in suspending him on
account Of any merely personal considerations.
The public service requires that II should be
done, and that whatever corruption there is
In the department should be laid bare by an
investigating committee.

General q rants Position and Policy.
Some Of the political philosophers, In view
Of General Grants election, ore beginning to
speculate upon the policy Of his administration.
We have no misgivings on that subject. We
expect sound, pacific, conservative, economi-
cal and withal progressive policy from Gen.
eral Grant. His character and bis antecedents
as o public man, military and civil, and his
position, as generally recognized and accepted
by the people, all justify that universal conf
dence which prevails in regard to his admin
istration Of the general government. His
financial policy, we doubt not, will be marked
by very important and very extensive re-
forms in the collections and disbursements Of
the public revenues, resulting in great savings
to the Treasury and in the rapid appreciation
Of greenbacks to the gold standard. In his
reconstruction policy we predict that he will
be guided by the landmarks Of the constitution
and not by the visionary and revolutionary
ideas and schemes Of the radical faction or Of
any fanatics North or South. We expect
that his foreign policy win put the United
States positively and authoritatively foremost In
the front rank Of the great Powers Of the earth,
and that II will include very decisive settle
ment Of the Mexican question. As In the war,
the cool head, the solid good sense and remark
able practical mind Of General Grant placed him
alongside the greatest military geniuses Of
modern or ancient times, 80 in his civil admin
istration Of the affairs Of the Union We expect
the same solid qualities win prove him equal
to the highest order Of craftsmanship. In q
word, we expect In General Grant first rate
President, and from him, domestic and foreign,
q arst rate policy.

Capt. PEBBLES yesterday passed another
year post on the journey Of life, and cele-
brated his birthday in a reunion with a
few friends with much pleasure. He was
the recipient of many expressions of warm
good will, and was made the subject of
several complimentary toasts. The Capt.
is native of Kentucky, and in childhood
was cent to New Orleans for health and ed
ucation. He afterwards entered upon
travel, and spent many years in visiting
all the most important countries on the
globe. He spent number of years in Ja-
maica, during which time he became a
subject of Great Britain by act Of Parlia-
ment. Returning to the United States he
settled twelve years ago in this city, and
has since been engaged in the steamboat
business. He has made many friends, and
enjoys the confidence Of all with whom he
has been thrown in contact. We congratu-
late him on this, his - birthday, and
wish him many a happy return of the same
to find him in health, hope and prosperity.
