Mr. Surveyor Cornell would do well to turn
to the Custom house copy of Worcester, look
I'D the word PERJURY, and, when found, make
note ont. He chose to deny, under oath and
in very poremptory fashion, the statement
about Mr.. Murphy's political assessment order,
made by Mr.. Daniel Sheehan. Already
one high officer at the Custom-house
has been indicted for perjury, and unless Mr..
Sheehan and his fellow witnesses can be dis
| credited, Mr.. Cornell may give serious thought
to the question whether there is not room for
another on the same indictment. We refer to
Mr.. Sheehan's letter elsewhere, and beg to say
that this is matter of evidence easily
obtained and certain to be speedily brought
outfit not before the Custom-hOus Com
mittee, then soon after in the suit
for the recovery of political assessments
illegally exacted. When that suit comes on
again, we shall see whether a NewYOrk
Court will again adjourn a case that

Committee and trying to defeat honest in

slider the Court or the Committee.

Having protested in advance against the
miserable efforts to convert the great Re-
form movement into machine for grinding
party provender, we have little to say
over the Waterloo of the CustOm-hOuse
faction at Albany on Monday, save
that it was fully deserved. If now Mr.. Rush
c. Hawkins can be remanded to the work of
exercising editorial supervision over The ~ T..
Times (Which it needs, and he is at least bet
ter fitted for than for efforts to lead the As
sembly), we may perhaps have IAN end of the
petty chickering's which he and his have been
so ready to foment, Mr.. TwOmbly's triumph
was the triumph of sensible legislation, and if
the factionsts are not satisfied with the ma
iority by which it was attained, they may
easily, by continuance in their late course,
make it larger.

The mania which has seemed to selze all inc
associations, committees, and councils for pro-
viding a charter for this much misgoyerned
city, shows divided opinion and painful want
Of unity of action nevertheless, 1T Is healthy
sign that men involuntarily turn to framing laws
for their future government. For the present
these proposed charters are merely suggeS-
tions. and the more of these we have, whether
from associations of men or from individuals,
the better We are not disposed to give I'M
qualified approval to the charter proposed by
the Committee of Seventy. We think the
Common Council and the Mayor had better
devote their energies less to patching the
present charter than to securing an hon
est administration under it. We sup
DOSE nothing will ever come of the
charter which it was said half dozen
Democratic members were preparing to sub
NIT to an overwhelmingly Republican Legls-
lature. in tho blind confidence that they would
adopt it simultaneously with the pending bill
to give all the patronage OF the city to the
Democratic Controller
And doubtless nobody will give serious at
tention to the crude document which the Clti-
zens' Association, just aroused from profound
slumber which many rejOced to believe was
death, has prepared with haste that betrays
it was fearful of not being recognized at this
crisis of reorganization. The Legislature will
doubtless accept all these chartcrs-as sugges-
tions-and possibly, after patient digestion of
them, adopt a wise and effective measure
which will give us peace and an honest ad-
ministratiOu

The Report of the Commissioners appointed BY
the act of 1866 to revise simplify. arrange, and
sOlidate the acts of Congress upon that branch Of
the law which pertains TO the Legislative power,
cOndenses into 46 pages what before embraced
distinct acts and resolutions 1t seems to have been
the intention that the Commissioners should go@
and complete their work before reporting any pan
of it to Congress for its adoption; but they have
thought that results might be realized from
their labors by submitting their work in the form Of
separate statutes that may be enacted rejec Ted
Independently. They have therefore disembarTassed
every such report from any reference to other por
tons of the revision, and accompanied each by q
precise repeal of the particular provisions Of existing
laws which it is intended to supersede This method
seems to present advantages that Of waiting till
the entire revision is complete before submitting
any part of it to the approval of Congress 1T disap
proved, the Commissioners early made aware Of
the views entertained by Congress upon the subject
and may easily and at once conform their work 10
such views. Congress should therefore act promptly
upon these reports they are submitted In thI
way we shall be able to judge well of the progress
the Commissioners are making as of the quality Of
their work.

The British Secretary for Foreign Affairs is
quite too cOnsiderate in his treatment of the
question of the alleged Spanish slave trade.
In his reply to a deputatiOn which has waited
upon him to procure English intervention in
this palpable neglect of treaty obligations on
the part of Spain, Earl Granville said that, as
Spain has an instruction upon her hands, the
matter is too delicate for England to interfere
in now. The notorious manner in which Spain
has neglected the slave-trade obligations de-
mands inquiry but it looks like unkindness
to say that there is an instruction in Cuba
when Spain declares, upon her honor that
there is not

Most people will be surprised at the action
taken by the Committee of Seventy in regard
to the bill pending in the Legislature
to provide q Board of Audit for this
City. One would suppose that the
Legislature ought to be considered
the proper law-making body, and that inter
ference by Citizens Committee would be
mere impertinence. But, after the Twom-
bly, bill, by decided vote, has
been accepted in the Assembly, sitting
as Committee, the Committee of Seventy
assumes to lecture our representatives
upon their duties and actually votes them
Instructions" This extraordinary and parti-
san proceeding will be very generally con-
demned. We admonish these gentlemen thai
they are transcending their powers and pre-
pairing to destroy their own popularity.

The Senate Committee on the Judiciary has
considerably modified the ApportOnment bill,

a warm contest over the measure as 1t now

Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, New
