THE GREET ISSUE.

Five or six years ago Horace Greeley, in a
reply to one of the early inflationists, said,
"FBally, General, we differ in this :-GOu re-
"gard the question of the payment of the
Government bonds in gold as merely a
"question of law IL regard it as even more
"question of morals"
That is precisely the aspect OF the financial
dispute to-day; and the country Will therefore
welcome the admirable statement, printed on
the first page of tO-day'5 TRIBUNE, in which
the eminent head of the Divinity School at
Yale brings forward the moral phase OF in
flation, as the rising issue about which
parties are TO crystalline. There has
been long searching for such an issue. Most
sagacous politicians have for some time re-
allied the truth which DR.. Bacon so clearly
states, that both the old parties arc falling to
pieces All have been disgusted by the rev
eatiOns of corruption in both, and by the re-
sponsibility of leading men in both for
those dishonest schemes of initiation, against
which they were distinctly pledged in
their platforms. Clearly the more hopeful
outlook was in the union of the men who
wanted to fight corruption and to defend
honesty in finance and in general politics
But how were such men to find ground OF
common action and issues so sharply defined
as to command the popular attention2 Up to
this time their attitude has been merely one
of expectancy. The action of Congress forces
upon them a change. What better issue can
they find than the one just now forced :-ShdH
the national dollar be the truth or lie2
DR.. Bacon's views are presented in the form
of letter to the Hon. William Walter Phelps
They deserve special weight with that most
important class of our citizens Of whom Mr.
Phelps is conspicuous type-the young men
of education, responsibility, and honor, who
go into politics because they wish to advance
the interests of the country and not to fill
their pockets

STREET CLEANING.

IF tbe recommendations of the Assembly
Committee touching the cleaning OF the New
York streets could be carried out, our city
,vould wear a new face. We ought to have
broadway and all the Avenues below Central
Park, and the whole area OF the city below
Canal-st., swept every night. The rest OF the
city should be cleaned twice and three times
n week Specially dirty localities ought to
have more frequent attention. Every cart and
every sweeper should have particular por-
ton of the work to attend TO. Ashes and
garbage should be removed promptly. Patrol
men should be required to report the condl-
ton of their beats. These with some details
of administration, are the principal reforms
recommended by the Committee. There can
be no doubt that they are all within the reach
of the present authorities, and that they would
prove highly effective if they were honestly
carried out. The only serious question 'ls u
question of money.
What it would cost to clean tie city on this
plan, supposng the work to be faithfully
done, nobody can tell. The e,neriment has
never been tried. an" there are no data for a
close cai""%i,ation. The testimony elected by
the Committee tends to5show, however, that
an appropriation equal to that of last year
ought to be more than enough. We need, in
the first place, new views of duty in the Police
Board. The business of street cleaning now
is partly branch of politics and partly job
for private profit. Names are put upon tile
pay-ros as reward for party services !;
inspectors are appointed to look after ward
politics instead of looking after the streets; and
cartmen are kept busy filling somebody's sunken
lots, and picking up perquisites of manure,
when they ought to be removing mud and
garbage. If we can establish reform at the
head of the Department, we may see the street
cleaners organized as real working force,
which they are not now, and never have BEEN
Then great deal of money can be saved by
the more general employment of machines.
Before the machines can be thoroughly used,
however the streets must be cleared of un-
necessary. distractions. There are certain
quarters of the town which look at evening
like stable yard. When nearly half the
roadway is taken up by wagons left standing
for the night before the owners doors. the
streets cannot be cleaned either by machine or
by the broom. Removing these vehicles will
be a great difficulty of course; but they must
be put out of the way, or else the streets must
remain dirty. Finally, a great deal of the
appropriation can be saved by making an
economical disposition of the sweepings, separ-
ating fertilizng and other valuable substances
from the refuse, and putting both where they
will do most good.
The Committee has wisely decided not to
attempt the cleaning of New-York by Albany
legislation He is not much of man who
cannot wash his own face. We have probably
all the power under the present charter that
we need and it seems to be now the part of
the Board of Police TO get together and plan
a reorganization of the Street Cleaning Bu-
reau by the light of the suggestions of Mr..
Eastman'5 Committee.

L1MB AND PEAS.

Now comes on the season of the vernal lamb
and the elusive pea. Already the markets are
afflicted with the plaintive bleat of infant
sheep torn untimely from their dams and the
fair promise of Spring is anticipated in
scanty heaps of the Carolina vegetable, which
no more resembles the succulent peascod Of
New-Jersey than the shriyeled Digby her
ring resembles the silyery, arrowy tenant Of
Taunton waters. These delusive Gates beguile
the fancy of those who think that money can
change isothermal lines, making the brown
one green, or who seek to clOy the hungry
edge of appetite by bare imagination of a
feast. But the Aplcian banquet, which in our
climate is the only early Summer
idyl of the table, Is not yet ready. 1t is as
true now as when Bryant wrote it that the
country ever has tagging Spring. This year.
at least. the town can boast no borders flushed
with sudden bloom. The April yiolets and
heliotropes that perfume the street corners

women tempted fate in diaphanous gowns, and
the sealskin coat became q burden. Easter
Sunday saw much Spring gear; and, though

We fear that the books the Committee are

But there is ample evidence on the subject of
the Pacific Mail investigation in existence,
and unless the Committee want to shield fel-

A correspondent of The TRIBUNE, in let
ter published last Saturday, called attention
TO some extraordinary Custom-house seizures
made in San Francisco in 1866. The seizure
was directed against champagne. For various
reasons this article of importation has been
favorite game with the CustOm-house spies
and nformers. Some Of the facts related by
our correspondent enter into the scheme
which is explained on our third page to-
day. The crafty men who secured the pas
sage of the laws relating to undervaluation
and then established themselves in French
territory, have had a rich mine to work. The
indications are that they have at last worked
it out TO the light.

Cutting. Near Crown City.

On last Sunday evening difficulty
arose between FRANKLIN OURS, a
young man living near Crown City,
and one WILLIAM DUPEAsE, concern
ing the sale of some land. 1t ap-
pears that FRANKLIN had agreed to
sell DUPEAsE a piece of land, part
payment of the consideration to be a
horse, but the exchange had not taken
place. On the Tuesday previous to
the cutting, DUPEAsE borrowed the
horse of FRANKLIN to ride. On Sun
day evening DUPEAsE returned with
out the horse, and FRANKLIN ques-
toned him concerning it, stating at the
same time that the horse had not been
transferred, since no deed had been
made for the land in question. DU-
PEAsE would not tell anything salts
factory about the horse, and quarrel
ensued. In order to stop the Difficult
ty WILLIAM Ours, father of FRANKLIN,
appeared, when DuPEAsE threw two
stones and club at him. They
clinched and Ours getting the better
of him, DUPEAsE struck him in the
back, just below the shoulder blade
and on the head with knife, inflict-
ing two dangerous wounds. The
wound in the back probably pene
trated the cavity, as the wounded
man has been bleeding internally
since. DUPEAsE jumped on horse
