New-York tribune., 1872-03-30

departments were levied upon IOr this Pu-
pose, though Mr.. Remington is only private
citizen. Nobody supposes that tho $lo.ooo
which be left here to DO expended In pro-
curing testimonials for use in France was
used with these officers but the fact that tho
gentlemen were so free with their recon-
mendations proves, once more, how quasi oili-
cial Endorsements are often used for illcgiti-
mate purposes.
A great deal of money has been thrown
about New-YOrk in remarkably loose man
ner since Tammany got possession Oh H. ou'
no disappearance of large amounts appears
more mysterious than the $4,000 which Mr'
John J. Cisco paid Mr.. William Fullerton 10
settle the snit of James Fisk, jr, against the
Union Pacific Railway. Fisk did MT get IL,
according to Field and Shcarman; it was MT
returned TO Mr.. Cisco; Barnard will swear he
did MT get it, and we suppose MIR. Fullerton
will take his affidavit that he did MT keep 1t.
The trial of "Dutch Heinrich" the notori-
ous sneak thief, was begun yesterday In the
Court of General Sessions, conclusive evidence
being introduced to prove the accused an ex-
convict, and to identify him rs the man who
robbed Kennedy g. Co.'S Office in Cedar-st.
last January. To-day the defense will make
a strenuous attempt to prove an alibi, and
some desperate swearing is anticipated The
case seems to have been admirably conducted
thus far, and we trust that the District
Attorney will not disappoint the mercantile
community by failure to secure the convic-
ton of this champion bond-snatcher.
A full month has elapsed since the Lcgis-
lature Of Kansas, on its own motion, lnvestl-
gated the last two elections OF United States
Senator from that State, and after taking the
testimony of many witnesses, concluded that
Messrs. Pomcroy and Caldwell, now represent
ing that State in the Senate, were sevefally
elected by gross and scandalous corruption
The names of members Of successive LcglSla-
lures whose votes were bought, the sums paid
for them, and the agents through whom pay
ment was made, were circumstanualiy set
forth. At the outset, we heard from the I'M
plicated Senators that they should demand
and insist on an early opportunity to vlndicato
themselves from what they pronounced false
and foul aspersiOns. We have not heard from
either of them since the testimony was printed.
When shall weq
The Charter has passed the Senate, finally,
by q twO-thirds vote. The instrument now goes
back to the Assembly for its concurrence in
sundry amendments, that branch of the Legis-
lature having passed it without alteration
worth noticing. 1t is not very probable that
tie Assembly will at once concur in the Sen
ate amendments and some conference will,
doubtless, be needed to reconcile the differ
ences of the two houses. The prin-
cipal changes which have been made
in the Charter are those which
provide for two Boards of Aldermen instead
of one also, for the election of two members
Of the Board of Assistant Aldermen from each
Assembly District, chosen by cumulative vote,
and for the retention of the present Commits
siOner of Public Works and Controller An
other important amendment was that of vest
ing the appointment of the Committee of Pub
lie Safety in the hands Of the Judges of the
Superior Court. The bill has been modified
considerably, and the action of the Assembly
will be awaited with much anxiety.
