The Attack on Mr.. Eyarts.

An attack of curious malignity against
the Hon. w. NJ. EvARTs was dcyel
oped in the Assembly at Albany on Mon.
day. Its ostensiblc author is Mr.. THOMAS
c. FIELDS, a lawyer of this city, and a mem.
Der of the Legislature. lie is the same per.
son who recently charged the Hon. Mr.. AIMS
WORTH of Saratoga with attempting to levy
blacknIail, aud failed to sustain the charge
by any evidence besides his own.
The allegation which Mr.. FIELDS now
endeavors 10 fix upon Mr. EvARTs is, that he
has taken professional rctaincrs from client,
aud, having performed the service contract.
cd for, has afterward been retained by
another party in a wholly different case in
which his former client is the defendant
Thisappears 10 be the essence of Mr.. FIELDs's
principal charge but TO give it more effect
he also asserts that the information conf
dentally acquired by Mr.. EvARTs in the first
case, has improperly been used to aid the
cause of the new client in the second case.
Another accusation is, that after having de-
Tended JonN DEyLIS of Brooklyn, accused
Of violating the internal revenue law, before
he became Attorncy.General, Mr.. EvARTs,
after he had ceased to be Attorney General,
went TO Washington to present to President
GRANT the reasons why his ellen, should he
paTdoned. The pardon was granted and for
this service he also received q professional
fee. Perhaps Mr.. FIELDS thinks he ought
TO have done the work without one.
Such are the assertions which Mr.. FIELDS
sets up, and aPerovates with such insinua-
tons and embellishments rs he supposes will
render them moro effective. He proposes,
we are told, TO make them the subject of a
legislative investigation. We presume that
he really has no such intention. The
object of his preposterous demonstration it is
difficult to understand but it is probably in
tended to prevent the nomination of Mr..
EvARTs as Chief Judge of the Court of
Appeals by the approaching Republican Con.
vention. We have heard of such political
manouvrcs before, lut they usually do
more harm to the party resorting 10 them
than to the one against whom they are en-
ploycd

IL is u Fraud Z

What humbug the Citizens Association
isl Established TO put down municipal cor
rupton and promote municipal honesty, its
only tangible result is TO put its managers
into fat offices under the Ring. Mr.. SANDS,
the agent Of the Association, who, we are in.
formed, still draws a salary of $4,000 year
from its treasury, is also Tax Commissioner,
with another salary of $4,000 from the city
treasury. Some of Mr.. SANDs's relatives
are also well provided for under the Tax
Commission. Mr.. RICHARD NJ HENRY Sec
rotary of the Citizens Association, receiving,
we believe, a salary of $1,000 for that Office,
also has $4,000 from the Tax Commission,
and has just been appointed by Mayor
OIIALL as Commissioner of Docks, with
another salary of $1,000 This is the net
profit of the Citizens Association.
OF course this is earned by converting the
Association into mere appendage and
agency of the robbers of the Ring. In re-
turn for such service the new charter leaves
the Tax Commission undisturbed The
power of the Tax Commission is said to be
also used TO keep the members Of the Citi
zens' Association in order. When the Young
Democracy were threatening the very exist
encc Of the Ring, and it was still unccr

The Superintendent of buildings.

Mayor HALL has appointed JAMES NJ
MCGREGoR 10 be Superintendent Of Build
ings, under the new city charter. This is
the same person who has occupied the Office
for the past few years. How grossly he has
failed in his duty We pointed out a few
weeks ago. We charged then, and our
charges have never been even denied, that
he has connivcd for long time at the
grossest violations of the law providing for
the safety of buildings in this city. We
once more allege;
That walls have been allowed to be erected
of less thickness than the law requires, and
that pay has been uulawiully taken for the
permission.
That some men have been compelled TO
Tut up iirc-escapes on their houses, while,
FIR a consideration, other houses of like
character, and occupied by the same number
Of families, have been allowed to remain
without any.
That If certain men have been employed
70 do the work, any excuse for fre-escape
would be approved Of
That for the last three years not one tene

ment house has been built in tho city Of New
York in conformity with the law.
That nearly every man building q tene-
ment house within that time has paid from
one hundred to five hundred dollars house
for the privilege of violating the law.
That within the past three years over
5000 tenement houses have been built,
and that for the unlawful privileges accord
ed the builders over one million two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars have been paid.
And we cite, MS an example, case in
which ANDREwJ. KERwIN was made to pay
81 400 for permission to build thirteen tene-
mcnt houses in 1hirty-ninth street otherwise
than as the law required.
Since we first made these allegations, ad.
ditional evidence Of the incapacty, or some.
thing worse, of Mr.. McGREGoR's manage
ment of his Department has been given by
the dreadful catastrophe in Fortysixth
street on the 9th Of last month, in which
five human beings lost their lives by the
Ialling of an improperly erected wall, and
the more recent, though fortunately blood.
less, occurrence of n similar nature in Lafay.
cite place last Friday morning. In this
latter case wall seventy.fve feet in
length by six stories in height came
down, carrying with it whole section Of the
building The Superintendent of Buildings
had been notified by an unprofcssional OBJ
server that the wall was bullying, and sent
his deputies to examine IT, The deputies re.
ported that all was right, and the work was
permitted TO 90 on. Within forty-ciQht
hours the wall was a mass Of ruins. Had
1t fallen during the daytime, fifty lives at
least would have been lost. The nature of
the accident was such that the Supcrin-
tendent's men could not possibly have failed
TO sec 1t to be inevitable, and they should
have reported the necessity of taking down
the wall Immediately. Why they did not we
do not undertake to say but the fact that
they did not, under the circumstances, sug-
gests the worst suspicious.
In the face of all these reasons for sternly
inquirng into Mr. MCGREGoR's fitness for his
position, Mayor HALL gives him new lease

he has done so to obligc Taxpayer TWEED.

What is MIR. Iolman.s Excuse 2

Mayor O'HML has rcappointel the old
Police Commissioners. Two of them were
Democrats and two Republicans who belong
between the Ring and the Republican mem.
bers Of the Senate, it would not have been
necessary to appoint any Republicans but
while Mr.. TWEED poured out his money Ike
water in buying Legislative votes. he also
agreed that HENRY SMITH and u. +. Ma.
MERE should be kept in their places; and
Mr.. OiALL has simply fulfilled the con.
tract of his master and ruler.
This appointment lays responsibility
upon Gov, HOFFMAN from which il will now
be impossible to relieve him. 1t is but a
short time since the Governor tool, in hand
the Police Commissioners of the Niagara
Frontier, and turned them out Of Office be-
cause they had licensed houses of prostitu.
ton. 1t was good REASON, and the action
of the Governor was correct. But why did
he not deal with our Police Commissioners
In the same manner2 They had been guilty
OF the same offence as the Western Commits
soners, and of others even more heinous
They had licensed houses of prostitution
This they had done deliberately, knowingly
md repeatedly. Besides this, they had or.
gained and executed election frauds on the
grandest scale. They appointed thieves and
States Prison convics to be inspectors and
canvasscrs at elections and these inspectors
md canvassers received thousands of votes
which they knew to be fraudulent, and
counted iraudulently the homes. votes that
were also received at the same time.
Why did Gov. HOFFMAN refuse 10 do any
thing with these Commissioners Their
offences were repeatedly brought to his no,
tice but he would not take any steps either
10 investigate or to punish them. And now
they have gone out of the Office which they
held under the authority Of the State, and
the Governor controls them no longer. His
power to remedy their misdeeds is ended
but the Democratic party has taken them
and anew made them Commissioners undel
the authority Of the TWEED charter and
the Governor and the party have thus per
manently assumed the full responsibility o

hioners have been so conspicuously guilty

Mr.. Tweed for GOVERNOR

The bill abolishing the Board of Superb.
sors was passed through both Houses of the
Legislature yesterday. 1t was carried by the
tact and energy of the Hon. WIN. NJ TWEED
1t affords new proof of his surprising ca
pacity as n political leader. We are h. ppy
also to testify that it was passed without
bribery. Not a dollar will go into the New
York tax levy TO pay for any expenses in

did it alone.
The abolition Of the Supervisors gives Mr.
TWEED new claim upon the gratitude of
the Democratic party. In this he has sacri.
feed one of his richest offices. He has also
turned out in the cold some of his dearest
Republican friends The Hon. ANDREW J.
BLEAKLEY n poor but honest patriot the
Hon. ISAAC J. OLIVER. pious member of
the Universalist Church the Hon. 0RIsoN
BLUNT, who declined $4,000 service of
plate from the city and Capt. HENRY SMITH
are all left out of place, and deprived of all
connection with the new Court House.
Thus Mr.. TWEED has nobly sacrificed
his friends to his sense of public duty
But this is not his greatest claim
to political appreciation. In turning out the
Supervisors he has actually deprived him.
self of his own best office. This surrender
of power for the sake of principle should be
made good to him. Let the Democracy
nominate Mr. TWEED for Governor. lie is
their greatest man. lie is able, lie is rich
he is magnanimous. Why should they stick
10 such second.class fellows as HOFFMAN
when they can have frst-rate men like
TWEED?
Let Mr.. TWEED now carry through law

The Consul.General of the United States
in Havana is an important source from which the
cloudy authorities in Washington receive the
principal part of the information which is sup
posed TO convey TO them correct idea of the
general situation on the island of Cuba. That
officer has a wife and several interesting children
in Havana, and fine house on the Cerro. M
ture incnes him.not to leopard the lives of his
wife and children. The house on the Cerro has
ITS attractions. The superficial Establishments
Of the Spanish authorities are Gdroitly brought
to bear TO affect his conception Of the general
situation, and to neutralze truth with falschood.
Then, again, the dispatches which the Consul
General receives, from different parts of the
island, from the United States Consuls and Con-
sular Agents, are in some instances affected by
the unworthy views Of those who send them, who
have personal interests TO subserve which they
elevate above their duty to the United States.
With the exception of Mr.. HALL, in Matanzas,
there is not a Consular representative on the
island OF Cuba who is prepared TO fearlessly dis.
charge his duty to the United States, and st emu
ously protect our citizens if any Of them should
get into serious trouble.

With the advent of the refugee Cubans in
Key West, there came into the United States the
culture which enables us TO make as good cigars
as those that are manufactured in Havana. The
business Of manufacturing cigars from tobacco
grown in Cuba was principally projected bv Jons
JAY PRILBmcK. lie saw while he was an officer in
the navy, and stationed in Kew West. that as
Havana was on one side Of the Gulf Stream and
Key West on the other and as the differ
cncc in the latitude between the two places was
less than degree, the difference in the char
acter of the atmosphere in Key West and that in
Havana could not be sufficient to do any injury
while the tobacco leaf was undergoing the pre-
parations necessary to make it ct for manufac-
turing into cigars. Therefore he started the man.
uiacture Of cigars in Key West on large scale.
Other establishmcntslfor the purpose sprang up
aftcrward, and now there are a large number in
that city The tobacco Of which the cigars are made
is received direct from Cuba and the planter TO-
day finds in the Havana market o strong COM
petitor for the purchase of fine tobacco, side By
side with the home manufacturers. The majority
Of the Cubans in Key West are doing quite well
making cigars. The business employs many Gu
ban women stripping the tobacco leaf Of its stem,
the superior delcacy with which they handle II.
Gen. SHERIDAN has recently written letter
highly commenting the Key West cigars; and

The Spaniards are constantly asserting
that the Cuban army is dsbanding. If what
they are SAYING were true, would not the numer-
Gus prominent Cubans and others who are in the
Cuban army be seen escaping TO the United
States or elsewhere? The very fact that the
Captain General OF the Spanish forces has had to
90 to the scat OF war to reorganizc the Spanish
troops for further active campaigning against the
Cubaus, is positive evidence that the Cuban army
is still intact, if not increasing in strength.

they choose to keep up the sham, it is their
