Investigating Committee moves with sus-
Picious slowness since its doors were thrown
open TO the public. The books have been
called for, but an excuse is sent instead, and
The books are not to be produced until next
week. They ought to have been in the posses
non OF the committee long since, for who will
guarantee that the delay in their production is
not for the purpose of altering and classifying
The entries? Why does not the committee

The Park Commit ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Green's Resignation OF His Additional
once.

The Park Commits sioncr-Comptrolle
Green's Resignation OF His Additional
Once.
Comptroller Green has resigned his position as
Park Commissioner which he has held during
his whole term as Comptroller; but the resig-
nation has not yet been acted upon by Mayor
Havemeyer. 1t should be accepted, and the
vacancy should be filed without any delay.
The Mayor has himself called attention to the
evident improperly of double ofice-holding
under reformed city government, and has
deprecated the practice of the head of o de-
partment passing upon his own acquisitions
and paying his own accounts. Mr.. Green's
wished it had been rendered before the HERALD
felt called upon to demand it in the name of
the people Of the city; but as it is now in the
hands of the Mayor it should be acted upon
at once. It is discreditable to "reform" gov
eminent that any Of its members should
adhere to the Tammany policy of
double ofice-holding; much more that the
practical head of a department which spends
an enormous amount Of the public moneys
should fill also the Offices Of Comptroller and
member of the Board of Apportionment, thus
in the latter capacities approving his own
estimates and paying his own bills. Besides, the
Park Commission has now only two members
in service-not a quorum of the whole COM
mission; for we do not suppose Comptroller
Green will ever desire to sit with the Board
again. 1t is desirable that the commission
should be filed, especially as the Department
demands larger appropriation for the coming
year than it asked for last year. 1t is uncer-
tain what the State Legislature will do with
the charter, and as it is not likely, under ex-
listing circumstances, that the Comptroller will
continue to act as Park Commissioner, the
Mayor should at least give the Board from
which Mr.. Green retires q quorum of its
legal number Of members.

The DEATH OF THE Ex-EMpERoR of the
French had but trivial influence upon the
Paris Bourse and none whatever upon quo
tations in London and New York. Curiously
enough French rentes, after an opening de-
cline, closed last night few confines better
khan they started yesterday morning. How
different would have been the effect upon Brit
tsh consols and American gold had the scene
ut Chiselhurst been enacted in the Tuleries

BRITISH MANIFEST DEsrNY.-The London
Standard advocates the extension of British
sovereignty over the Fiji Islands, making them
colony. Suppression of cooie kidnapping
in the Polynesian groups and their sale in the
Fijis is the excuse proffered for this forcible
annexation, and, so far as the United States is
concerned, there will be no serious objection
if the mother country thinks she has not al
ready too large family of such expensive
and unsatisfactory children as her colonies.
But what a howl would we hear from the Brit
ish press if we should undertake to protect
the interests of our citizens in the Sandwich
Islands by q similar process 1t makes all
the difference in the world whether manifest
destiny tends to extend our territory or that of
Albion.

Hooper, from Great Salt Lake, moved to
amend by providing for the admission of Utah
as the State of Deseret Mr. Sargent, Of Cali
fornia, moved to amend by stringent provi-
sion against bigamy, polygamy, or plural

loaded down to the water. Not much chance
for any more new States, least of all for
Deseret, during this session.
Next came very important bill on emigra-
ton, providing an Emigration Bureau and
regulations of vessels carrying passengers to
the United States. The object of the bill is
to encourage emigration from foreign ooun-
tries, and we conjecture that it will become q
law.

Facts About Newspapers-What tho SUBJ
scribcrs OF tho Herald Got for Their
Money.
An article in the Kansas Magazine, written
by Mr.. d. w. Wilder, on the labor and enter
prise of the newspaper press, has attracted
very general attention. Mr.. Wilder, it appears.
has measured q quadruple edition OF the
HERALD, and has found that it contains
$50, 900 "ems," while an octave book of SCI
pages-Mark Twains new work--contains
only $4,000 GEMS" This one copy of the
HEnALD would, therefore, make an octave of
eighty-nine more pages than are contained in
the book in question, while the price Of the
book is three and half dollars, and of the
HERALD four cents. The inquiring mind Of
the writer has further discovered the fact that
'three copies of this quadruple sheet daily
HERALD would contain fourth more matter
than the common English Bible Apocrypha
included" 1t is not surprising that this state
ment should astonsh those who are accus-
toned to skim lightly over daily newspaper.
and cast it aside without bestowing thought
upon the labor employed in its production
and the mass Of valuable information it con-
tains
This HERALD ''volume of six hundred and
eighty pages" sold for four cents, which Mr..
Wilder has been at the trouble of measuring,
carries news to its readers from all quarters of
the world-from Europe, Asia, Africa and all
parts of the American Continent The move
ments-political, social, commercial and finan-
cial-in all civilized nations on the globe are
to be found in its columns. The mysteries of
the wilds of Africa and the intrigues of politi-
cal parties in New York, the gayeties of courts
and the last barroom murder, every descrip-
ton of intelligence to be gathered on sea or on
land, and every species of information that
can instruct or interest the people, are grouped
together in its pages. Its advertising columns
are perfect directory for all who have wants
to be supplied, and afford equal facilities to
the millionaire who has half dozen fortunes
to invest and to the poor girl who seeks en-
ployment as q maid of all work. The actual
amount Of matter contained in daily HERALD
is astonishing enough but it is not half SO
wonderful as the varied valuable and exhaust
i've character Of the information contained in
its columns.

himself at the head Of his armies he crushed
the power Of Austria OF Magenta and Sol
ferino, at once giving emphasis to his theory
of the uni6cation of nationalities and paving
the way for the practical unity of Italy. This,
again, was great personal triumph; and it
was as fattering to France as it was gratifying
to himself 1t was not unnaturally felt that
the star of Austerlitz shone over the destinies
of the Second Empire. In 1860 what
monarch in Europe was so powerful as the
Emperor of the French? His nationality
theories found fresh expression in his Mexican
campaign but his Mexican campaign proved
a failure and with that failure began his
troubles The tide had reached its ebb and
was now receding it never turned again in
his favor. He began to yield to popular
clamor, and the French people, with their usual
fckleness, proved ungrateful. France had
now Parliament and the press was unchecked,
and Parliament and press compelled him to
seek the rectifcation Of frontiers. The Rhine
boundaries question resulted in fresh failure.
Prussia would not yield and the Emperor
would not fight The late war, it is now well
known, was undertaken against his will and
with the results of that war the reading public
is familiar. France ingloriously defeated,
the Bonaparte dynasty was dethroned, and
now the exiled Emperor is dead. His death
to-day does not affect values in any money
market in the world His death any time be-
tween 1852 and 1870 would have produced not
only national but worldwide financial ruin.

A little while ago we had two Legislatures
in session at Montgomery, one organized by
the Democrats, with all the prima Jacie condi-
tions of regularity, called together in the
usual place by the usual officers, and COM
posed entirely of members who held the reg
uiar certificates of election; the other assem-
bled in the Courthouse, by Republicans who
believed that the Democrats meant to deprive
them of certain seats (eight in number), to
which they contested the returns. Both par
ties asked for the intervention Of the Federal
Government But Gen. Grant very properly
refused to interfere. Finally, at the sugges-
ton of one of his Cabinet officers, a compro-
mise was arrived at, each yielding something,
and the administration of the State returned
to its ordinary channels.
In Louisiana we are also threatened with
rival Legislatures. There are two sets Of men,
each holding certificates from what purports
to be legal returning board. There are two
Governors, each claiming to be elected by the
people, and also to hold proper certificate
One of these Legislatures, however, and one
of these Governors, have received in advance
the sanction of the national executive and the
unconditional support of the army. The Gov
ernment of Louisiana has by this preference
been lodged in the hands Of Mr. Pinehback,
who holds no office whatever from the people,
being merely State Senator whose term has
expired. Mr.. Pinchback issues proclamation
to the effect that no persons claiming to be
Legislators except those belonging to the Kel-
logg faction shall be permitted even to assemble.
To provide for this case the Kellogg Legisla.
ture recently made it misdemeanor for any
ten or more persons unlawfully to assemble
" for any unlawful purpose, with intent to
disturb the public peace OF to cause public
disturbance" Under this elastic law, Mr..
Pinchback declares that mo pretended Gen
" eral Assembly shall convene" because its
doing so would tend to disturb the public
peace. The "foiled and defeated Leaders of
minority he says "are revolutiOnias and
"guilty of treason against the State, and are
"dsturbers of the public peace, and must be
"dealt with as SUCH" WherefOr, the Federal
troops are TO be called in, and if the McEnery
LEGISLATURE attempt to go through the form of
organization, it shall be dispersed at the point
of the bayonet.
Now will not the President show the
same impartiality at New-Orleans that he
exhibited at Montgomery 1t is well under
stood that the McEnery Legislature meditates
no disturbance of the peace, no fordble re-
sistance to the authorities who hold the reins
of power. IL looks to Congress for the resto-
ration of what it declares to be its rights. 1t
believes, or processes to believe, that an or
ganization pro Jorma is an important. Drelimi'

Such day as yesterday was in this city is
a complete triumph of weather discomforts
over every appliance of civilization. Base
ments and cellars were flooded telegraph
wires, signs. and awnings prostrated the
Streets III many instances, absolutely impass-
able and full of risks to life and limb and
general arrangement of travel was made
imperative. As it was Sunday, the immediate
effects of the cold freshet upon trade were not
felt The damage done, too, cannot be esti-
mated until business is resumed to-day. But
the day will long be remembered as one of
surprising discomfort, gloom, and annoyance.
The reports of casualties and disaster
caused by the floods, winds, and ice are
full of suggestion but unfortunately, there is
no suggestion which can be Immediately i'm
proved. If more attention had been paid to
keeping the crossings free of ice, the freshet
might have Iswept off more freely and have
left less damage behind. As it is, much loss
has no doubt been caused by this neglect
in portions of the city which are deserted
except during business hours When we shall
have made up all the sum of the results of
our rainy, sleety, windy and uncomfortable
Sunday, we shall find that there have been
much destruction of property, some incipient
sickness, great Inconvenience, and real suffer-
ing among the poor.
