The first nominations under the new Charter
redeem the early promise of the Mayor to the
people and his defiance to the CustOm-house
that he should name good and true men,
with little reference to their politics. He has
named five Commissioners and one Alderman
whom the people will be disposed to trust in
the future from what they know of them in
the past. Commissioner George II. Andrews
will give his experience to the new Depart
ment of Taxes and Assessments. The Hon. John
Wheeler is q Democrat who has been promi-
nent lately in the Committee of Seventy, and MIR.
S. d. Mouton, a Republican, was also prominent
as reformcr The appointments of Professor Z.
f. Chandler as President of the Health Board
and DR.. Stephen Smith Commissioners appear
to have been made as they should be, ire
spective of political considerations. Thus far
the Mayor has defeated, in advance, any seri-
GUS opposition in the Board of Aldermen.
They will hardly take the responsibility OF
rejecting appointments which the whole city
will applaud.
New-York tribune., 1873-05-06

A letter from the MOdoc country, quoted IN
our Washington dispatches, shows how fatal
error was made in the rash attack OF the be-
siegers, April 90. The writer of the communi-
cation referred TO says, April 30, that the
majority of the Indians had then got out of
the Lava Beds. Probably the besieging force
thought this was true but it was not, as the
bloody repulse which took place on the Goth
has proved. The attacking party marched
straight into the jaws of death, believing that
the Indians had escaped. 1t may as well be
understood now that the Indians have all along
had the advantage of our troops.

There has been, for some years, persistent
effort to secure continuous railway line from
the south coast of New-England to Montreal,
10y way of Central New-lIampsbire and
Northern Vermont. This was partially ac-
complishcd, last Summer, when passengers
were taken from Newport, r. l., to the White
Mountain region, by way of Concord, N. H.
BY the practical consolidation of the old Yer
mont Central system of railways with that OF
the New-YOrk, Boston, and Montreal, the
route is completed, with extensive ramifca-
tiOns in Northern New-England. Newton
don, Conn. is the southern terminus. The
details elsewhere given are of great interest
to the commercial world, as well as to
travellers.

Fire Co 3 fair opens, this evening, at Institute
Hall. Considering the worthy purposes for
which the fair is instituted, we shall be disap-
pointed if it is not well patronized. For the
benefit and protection Of our people, the Co
mas incurred a heavy debt in the purchase of a
new steamer, and it is to meet this debt that
the proceeds will be devoted. To be efee.
tive, Fire Companies should not be burdenet
with debt, and we appeal to the public for iti
beneyolence towards the Water Witch, for thii
reason
