POLICE THINBLERTGGING.

For once the Mayor has abandoned his pol
lev. The remarkable change has been accom-
panied, however. with no return to reason
Having obstjnately turned his nose out of the
highway and found that the by-path he had
taken was leading him to the brink of a
preeipice he has turned back; but instead of
betaking himself again to the highway, he has
bolted across on the other side into a swamp
The Committee proceeded last evening to
Gov. Dix's country home on Long Island
where the charges on which they ask for his
removal are to be presented. Meantime the
Police Board vainly stroye for reOrganIza-
ton ;-Messrs. Charlick and Gardner trying
first to get their old places, aud then seeking
to compromise on Gardner for President
and Duryee for Treasurer. On the fail
ure of their last scheme they have
again rendered their designations to the
Mayor. He promptly accepts, and appoints
in their stead-Mr Geo. w. Matsell and Mr..
John r. Voorhis! The Administration Repub
licans are thus thrown out in the cold. getting
nobody in the place of Gardner; and Tam
many is served in the same way, getting no.
body in the place of Charlck. Obviously the
Mayor has grown tired of appointing public
partisans. and has determined to cOnfne him
self to private ones. Heretofore he has given
us a Police Board made up of Custom-house
men and Tammany men; he now essays to
constitute it of Havemeyer men.
1t is possible that the Mayors tardy and
perverse strategy may prove successful in its
immediate object He certainly seems to have
rescued himself from the most dangerous fea-
ture of his situation by backing out; but
what are we to think Of the Police Board he
has given us7 Messrs. Duryee and Disbecker
were, to say the least, surprises. Mcssrs. Mat
sell and VOorhis will be accepted by the ma
jority of thoughtful citizens as an insult.

Total. .SlO6.O2S.645 70
rand total foI the fiscal year.

The above figures we do not consider as
quite accurate. They doubtless include five or
six millions for advances and repayments, and
the total is therefore to that extent too large.
1t is entirely within the power of the Treas
urer to remove this source of unceftainty, but
for some reason which we cannot imagine he
has never troubled himself to do it. From the
best information accessible to us, we estimate
that enly about S1S0,O5O0OO have been paid
for all purposes other than interest and pre-
MUM on purchased bonds and S105,00O,OOO
for the years interest on the Debt, commits
sions and premiums, leaving a remainder of
a5.OOO,OOO, which represents the net reduc
ton of the Debt. We call attention to the
remarkable contrast presented in the above
table between the expenditures for the first
and last six months of the year. The total
expenditures for the year ended June 80, 1873.
exclusive of interest on the Debt and pre-
MUM on purchased bonds, were $3.50, ,4SS 636 so,
which can differ but little from the total of

THE NATIONAL FINANCES.

According to a semi-oficlal statement, the
revenue of the National Government for the
fiscal year ended June 30 has been $500, 100000,
OF which S163, 5000 were derived from GUS
toms, S1O1 100000 from internal revenue, and
$25,2OO,0OO from miscellaneous sources. The
estimates in Mr.. Richardson's annual report,
added to the ascertained receipts for the first
quarter of the year. gave S16O2OO,0OO from
customs, $91 100000 from internal revenue, and
S19,5OO,O0O from miscellaneous sources. 1t thus
appears that the receipts from customs have
overrun the official estimate S9,3O0OOO, and
the internal revenue shows like excess of
s9,7OO,OOO. Nevertheless We still think
our criticism of six months ago
q fair one At that time there
was no justification for the opinion that be-
fore the close of the fiscal year our imports
would exceed the totals for the corresponding
months of 1873. Yet, strange as it may seem,
such has proved to be the fact, Nothing but
extraordinary luck could have prevented a
deficit for the year. Extraordinary luck the
Government has had, but to have staked
everything on having that luck we cannot
count as wise and safe financial policy on
the part of either the Treasury or of Con-
gress.
The expenditures of the Government, other
than for interest on the Public Debt, are re-
ported by the Treasurer to have been as fol-

The Brooklyn Council Committee, which
cannot make up its mind TO commit the city
to the building of the East River Bridge,
called yesterday on the Mayor and Controller
Green to ask them for their opinions. Of
course they found both officials as non-com-
initial as themselves, and went home very
much puzzled at the prospects, though, one
expert says "much pleased" at finding the
MavOr less obstinate than usual.

We call attention to tho appeal of the
Trustees of the Childrcn's Excursion Fund
printed to-day. 1t seems to us that nothing
can add TO the touching force Of the facts in
this statement Two thousand poor children
at each excursion are given days pleasure
which is like enchantment in the dull monot-
Ony of their cheerless lives; they have one
day of liberty, enjoyment sufficient food. and
above all, of the consciousness that they are
not altogether despised and forgotten by the
great world. There can be no charity more
immediate in its effects, none which confers
greater pleasure upon the needy, with less
expense. We hope that enough money may
be placed in the hands of the Trustees to
guarantee an unbroken series of picnics dur
ing the next two months.

Reports from Kansas indicate that bands of
the Cheyennes, ArapahOes, and Kiowas are on
the war-path, and that before they can be
brought into subjection many innocent settlers
will be murdered. The hostile Indians are
estimated to number about 1900, and comprise
about one-fourth of the tribes above named.
The other three-fOurths of these tribes in
cuding Santanta, Big Tree, and other prom-
nent chiefs, are at Fort Gill Reservation, in
compliance with their agreement. The coun-
try is slowly learning the lesson of vigorous
policy of sHbjcction by these repeated out
breaks, but it is at very great cost Of life
and treasure.

There is wailing among the Government
clerks who, through favoritsm or distin-
guished talent for travelling and charging
mileage at the rate of ten cents mile, have
managed to mako a handsome thing out OF
the treasury while they improved their
minds with extensive travel. A law of Con-
gress passed at the last session, prohibiting
communication of mileage, makes the promis-
cuous skipping around of the favored ones a
less lucrative pursuit than formerly. Remote
sections of the country will sec less of these
representatives of the Government than for
merly, but the deprivation will be more than
compensated by the gain to the treasury and
the devotion of these gentlemen to clerical
duties.

The variations of the comet in brilliancy, it
appears from our correspondents letter this
morning, are largely due to slight changes in
our own atmosphere which ordinarily pass
unnoticed. slight haze not otherwise ap-
precable may much diminish the apparent
brightness and length of the tail, and since
the nucleus has travelled further down toward
the horizon the chances of such observation
are largely increased. In the letter referred
to there are new predictions as to the specific
place of the tail among the consultations,
which will enable observers to verify the
accurate working of the theory on which pre-
vious computations have boen founded. We
also publish letter of criticism on the pre-
