The latest Erie Railway waT--would that we
could also say the last-has come to an abrupt
truce. The Governor has taken possession Of
the disputed track--the sheriAs of either side
are miscelaneOusy arrestlDg contestants on the
other side-aud in the midst of the melee of
injunctions, and arrests in contempt, the central
figure takes to water-disappearing ON a steam
boat amid mysterious reports about an assas-
sination that might have been. 1t is all very
wonderful, and of course we believe every
word Of it-as indeed we do. in the case of
everything aboat Erie. - q

1t is singular fact in the history of Cuba,
but one sufficiently characteristic of Spanish
politics, that after the Cuban Junta at Havana
had given money to the Cadiz revolution, the
revolutionary government established thereby
betrayed them. Such, at least, is the story as
given US from the Cubans themselves. The
revolution was bribed to give them their
rights, but the Provisional managers of it seem
to have been true to but one-haf of their bar
gain. They pOcketed the money.

The United States bought of our City au-
thorities site in the City Hall Park for q
new Post Office and paid the cash for it-S5OO-
600. The City has enjoyed the full use of the
site and the use Of the purchase money for
several months. The Government bestirred
itself at last to make use of its property; and
then high City official whispered that per
haps another location in that same Park might
be obtained by exchange-one more advanta-
geous to the Government and more acceptable
to the City. Hereupon the Government APP
pointed Messrs. A. T. Stewart, II. Greeley
and VIM. orion to negotiate such ex-
change. They cot to work, and tried
very hard to bring the City functionaries to a
point; but though ne who suggested the ex-
change was now Mayor nothing could be
brought to issue. The Mayor s. Co. were at
Albany, aggravating and putting through the
Tax Levy; this served for weeks: then the
Mayor summoned a meeting of the Councils,
but no quorum responded; and so the matter
dragged along, until the season had in
good part slipped away, with O per-
sistent evasion on the part of the
City functionaries. At last, the Govern
ment's architect tired of this, and ordered
ground to be broken on the site originally
purchased and now we have meetings of
Councils, conferences, and q grand conference
appointed for tomorrow. The game plainly
is to arrest the work and tide over the bal
ance of the season. 1t will not win.

At last the tinkering of Broadway pave
ments is finished, and it is once more possible
to ride from the Battery to Madison-square
without deviation from the main route We
do not know bow many millionA have been
spent in Broadway payements, but the present
specimen seems to promise better service than
any heretofore tried. Now if the authorities
will compel builders to keep within proper
limits in storing and handling materials our
boosted Broadway will once more be itself
the street without parallel. -I r..o

We are rejoiced to notice that at a Teach
ers' Convention held for Hamilton County,
Ohio this week, lecture was to be delivered
on "The Theory and Practice of Teaching"
As n general rule. teachers have no theory.
and as for practice, they either run for luck or
travel on their muscle. That blow should
ever be struck in school is disgrace to our
civilization, and proves conclusively that a
teachers theory is absurd, and his practice
something worse If learning were made what

ORR CITY ORGANIZATION.

So much has been said with basis of truth,
of discord and anarchy in the Republican party
of this City, that we do not mean to let the
subject pass off in hubbub Of mere grumblng
and empty depreciation. Where there is an
abuse there must be remedy; where there is
wrong, there should at least be a strenuous
effort to right it. Mere complaint is pulling

work of amending what is faulty, and drown
ing objection in reform.

months, when he was assigned desk
