The speech of Mr. Senator Fowler, yesterday,
in favor of tho "Sue Murphy claim" was bad
enough in spirit; but it may nevertheless be
very useful in making yet more clear what
way our danger lies. Every day that we post

OF all manner Of classes and interests to say,

AS things are going at the Capital, we do not
see but that Mr.. RobinsOn's request for five
millions year for our New-York harbor is
quite as moderate as many others before Con-
gress, and a good deal more reasonable. This
is not saying much for it, to be sure, but it is
more than can be said of most of the modest
propositions for the issue of Government bonds
in little sums of from five to fifty millions, for
Internal Improvements.-The account in another

The letter of our Boston correspondent gives
which an enthusiastic musician is preparing Mt
the hub of the universe, to commemorate the
restoration of peace, the battle of Bunker Hill,
the greatness of the American nation and the
blessings of our free institutions generally. 1t
is to cost fabulous hundreds of thousands Of
dollars, and all the great men in the world are
to be asked to come to it, and have their ex-
pcnses paid beside There is to be chorus of
10000 singers, with an orchestra of 200 nstru-
ments, including bells, muskets, and artillery
all which together of course ought to make q
great noise, though we trust we may be par
doned for predicting that they will not make
music. There is q limit to the number of voices
which can sing effectively together-a limit
liked by the laws of acOustcs--and 10000 is
just about ten times too many. The same thing
may be said OF the orchestra 1t is impOssi-
bic for thousand men playing together to
produce good music, even if q thousand
really competent players could be collected
in any city of the United Safes. and
every musician knows that they could
not be. One hundred would be an abundance.
and We presume that three hundred would
exhaust all the really good available material
in the country. The other seven hundred would
be so many drawbacks. The celebration il
announced for next June, in building to be
erected for the purpose on the Common. If it
take place at ALL it will probably not be according
to tho extrayagant programme now Dnblished.

EThe Blaisdell-Eckel case was last set for
to-day. We timidy but distrustfully venture
to hope that none of the counsel on either side
may appear in Court this morning suffering
"intense physical agony" or distressed with

ailments. We cherish this hope, not merely IN
the interest of the counsel, whom we would
not willingly see so afflicted, but also in the
interest of the defendants, whose reputation is
likely to suffer very seriously by any more

OF negro suffrage, they reply that they are not
playing game of political tactics for par.

to get their State into such condition that
order may be restored and prosperity revived.
and that they must look for such aid to the

The Senatorial elections still attract attention

The Senatorial elections still attract attention
at numerous State capitals, besides our own.
We are glad to see that Senator Stewart is
sure of reelection. In Missouri, the contest
between Carl Schuz and Representative Loan
grows fervid. Senator Henderson, who
won his election before in such triangular
fight, begins to hope that he may by possibility
do it again. In Indiana, Lieut. Gov. Cumback
leads the list. but has numerous and sharp
competitors, who may combine against him.

York for aid, through her President, Benjamin

Hotel. The College suffered severely and
wantonly during the Civil War, and only asks
to be placed where she stood before that Seces-
sion which she did not abet. Her appeal Is
strong one, and We trust it will he generously
to.

All the Reports In-Remarkublc Action of
Mr.. MaDierre.
For some weeks the newspapers OF the city have
devoted considerable space the ventilation Of the
medical department OF the Metropolitan police, and
the alleged negligence OF some members OF the
Board o. Surgeons The Board Of Police Commits
soners first learned OF the irregularities from the
press, and more than one OF the members OF that
body Immediately commenced reading up the laws
and rules relative to the duty OF surgeons. AS re-
suit OF the criticisms the Board passed resolution
nsructng all the surgeons to make report Of their
duty at the station houses to which they
are detailed for the year. Many OF the
physicians had kept no record of the
cases treated by them, and this resolution placed
them in all exceedingly unpleasant predlcament.
II was imperative, however, and they searched the
blotters OF the station houses Tor data to compile
their reports.
Police some weeks ago ordering the Board OF sur
geons to appoint surgeons for duty at the Central
Ufice for whom theyiwould be responsible. Anxious
to please the Commissioners they proceeded to COM

their qualifications. few days after, TO the as
constituent OF the surgeons, an ntimation WAS con-
veyed to them that they had better hurry up their
nominations meeting OF the Board OF Surgeons
was at once called and various parties invited TO APP
pear for examination and compete for the vacan-
cies. They made critical examination OF appii-
cants and made two nominations whereas the re-
solution of the Police Board called for but one. The
Board. at Its next meeting, failed to confirm the
nominations
But the most remarkable circumstance IN this
connection Is the action OF Mr.. Manierre, who, 1t
would seem, assumes TO run the entire police
department Before the returns Of the
physicians had been secured the representatives OF
the press who were anxious to set the physicians
right on the record, obtaineu the assurances OF
