sections-are convinced that they could arrange
every cause of quarrel. Mr.. Randall, the
author of any Maryland" writes to Mr.. Sted-
man, the author of "JOhn Brown Of Ossawat-
"omie," that the men of letters, North and
South, understand and respect each other.
The soldiers learned too much about each
other in the field Of battle not to treat each
other now with that Difference which brave
men mutually owe and pay. Northern
writers now habitually quote the reports
of Southern generals in their accounts OF
affairs in which the latter were engaged, CIV
ing them the same weight which they allow
to the statements of our own officers. This
seems a matter of course, but it was not 80
while the war and the hostility lasted between
the sections. A day or two since the sur
yiyors of the war in the South decorated the
graves of their dead with tributes of affec-
tomato remembrance. Only little while ago
this was regarded as a dangerous and Grim
inal act by many Northern people, The
natural tolerance Of the American has now 80
far asserted itself that this week the officers
and men of the United States Army, stationed
in the vicinity of these proceedings, nave
asked permission to take part III them, ana
have deposited upon the graves OF their nte
adversaries the crowns and crosses which
typify divided glory and common faith
in immortality. We do not expect to hear
any denunciations of this graceful and be-
coming act of brave men toward their fallen
adversaries. 1t is probable that even those
who thought the pillars of the State were
shaken when Sumner proposed that our flags
should cease to perpetuate the memory OF
fading hatreds. and who thought Greeley no
better than traitor when he advocated
universal amnesty, will now possess their
souls in patience, although veteran soldiers
have given this public testimony THAI they
have no quarrel with the dead, or slth the
living who mourn them.

III ALRANY.

MAYOR Havemeyer did wise thing in dis
tinctly clearing himself of the jobbery and
trickery afoot in Albany about the Police. 1t
is disreputable party scheme trickily pushed
forward by men who have preached reform
solely, as it would seem, for the sake OF the
partisan advantages they could gain by
it: and who now cast all pretense
of reform to the winds in uniting to force this
measure through by strict party vote under
caucus whip and spur. Whether, III view OF
the Mayors attitude, the lower house may
think it worth while ito complete the matter,
does not yet certainly appear. We can repeat
our assurance to the gentlemen engaged In
this effort to make party capital out of the
Police and Park Commissions, that the
people will disappoint them. This Is
not good year for getting partisan advan-
tages through tampering with the Police
Board, or with any feature of our municipal
government The men who try it are sure to
lose by it. Meantime there is the comfort
that though the caucus can control the Legis-
lature, its power falls short of reaching the
Governor
Mayor Havemeyer was less wise in his letter
concerning the Fifth-ave. pavement. We
can see no trace of Job i'll this bill, save
that it requires the use of pavement which
has been subjected to the hardest OF tests and
has proved itself the best pavement for
driving now laid on any street in the city.
| As to the equity of payment for it by the city
instead of by the Fifth-ave. property hold
ers more may perhaps be said.
Our warning as to the necessity of constant
watchfulness concerning the Third and Fourth
Avenue Rapid Transit bills has received prompt
justification. Both were yesterday crowded
through the Assembly by majOrities of two to
one. In the form in which the Fourth Avenue
bill passed the destruction of Park Avenue
by the horse railroad track is avoided, but
the other Objectionable features are
retained, including the extraordinary
rights conferred as to public property on the
way and the monstrous privilege of destroying
the City Hall Park with an enormous passen-
ger depot between the Post-0flice and the City
Hall. 1t is absurd to suppose that such bill
can become law; and great pity that the
men who profess willingness to furnish
rapid transit on the East Side should damage
their own cause by asking impossible privi-
leges. Nevertheless, the suspicious prompt
ness with which these bills have gone
forward at every stage will make
a study of the Yeas and Nays on the vote
which carried them through the Assembly one
of special interest to the general taxpayer.
There is, of course, scarcely hope, even on
the part of their friends, that they can be
carried through the Senate; but it would be
well for their opponents not to take it for
granted. The tactics which managed the
House may in these days of hurry burly prove
successful also in the Senate

MR. BOUTWELL,.

There are rumors now and then from Wash
ington that Mr.. Boutwell, has something to
say about the Sanborn contracts. To-day we
are told that he has determined to go before
the Committee. Tomorrow the news will be
that he is saving his explanation for speech.
All that is positively known is the disagree
able fact that the Committee have politely
limited their desire to hear from him, and that
he has thus far declined the invitation.
This seems to us great pity. We are very
far from wishing to believe that MIR. Boutwell,
was party to the corrupt combination which
pushed the Sauborn law through Congress and
through the Treasury, and we do not forget
that the worst abuses that sprang from it came
TO maturity after his election to the Senate
But We think that he cannot afford to ignore
the unpleasant notoriety into which his name
has been dragged during the investigation.
The first contracts were made i'll his name.
The strange adventures of Judge Pendery
began under his administration. If there was
any inquiry into the purpose and scope Of the
law before it was put into operation, it must

YORK-THE CUsTOM-HoUsE REFUSES TO ADMIT
THE PICTURIs FREE, AND THE PROJECT Is
ABANDoNED-rHE MATTER LEFT WITH THE ART
LOVING PUBLIC.
To tho Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: Through the courtesy Of your London
correspondent, have seen o letter IN THE TRIBUNE
from Mr.. 8. p. Avery of New.York, commenting upon
the protective duties foreign works Of art in which
he says:
much regret that country should BIO the only one
In the world which does not regard art as educa
tl0nal necessity.
AS Chairman Of the London Committee for promoting
the free exhibition OF foreign sketches
In America beg TO thank him for his boldness and to
assure him that the Committee look upon that letter
one OF the most hopeful signs for the future.
Our position in England is this: The result Of the ex
hlbItion Of English and foreign watercoors at the Ma
tiona Academy in NewYork, in the Winter OF IsTas,
was 80 satisfactory that second valuable coec.
ton worth at least 100000 consigned to us last
December for transmission to America. But the official
reply TO application TO Washing ton TO be permitted
TO exhibit and sell the pictures, without previous pay
ment Of customs duty, not sufficiently distinct to
justify us In dispatching them. They therefore
returned to the artists. with letter stating that:
The Committee have alternative but to return all
drawings sent IN for America. and To take the best
measures Ia obtain repeal OF clause COG OF the act OF
Congress March 1871 fur relates to the sale OF
works of art
Numerous expressions Of regret at the nonarrlva OF
the English water-colors have reached me In London
and the suggestion has been made than once that
our artists should petition your Government TO obtain
an alteration In tho wording or the act But when
recall the obstacles TO the first exhibition In NewYork
and remember that tho difficulty of persuading your
people that tho free entry OF these pictures would be

IL there was any directing intelligence III inc
Treasury Department which presided over
these contracts at tho start Mr.. Boutwell, ought
tn know whose it was. Mr. Richardson and his
subordinates have done everything in their
power to shelter themselves behind his skirts.
They have charged him, in so many words,
with the full responsibility of the transactions
which he set on foot. They have excused
themselves by alleging that they only followed
his example. Mr.. Boutwelrs silence, under
these circumstances. is hardly decent
If the ex-Secretary has no desire to say any
thing i'm his own defense, he is OF course
at perfect liberty to 60 undefended, and
doubtless he is quite right in believing that
his reputation for personal integrity Is III no
danger. But the Committee OF Ways and
Means are engaged III an attempt to discover
how the SanbOrn contracts came into exist
ence, and none of the present officers OF the
Treasury are able to enlighten them. MIR.
Richardson does not know Mr. Sawyer does
not know Mr. Banfeld does not know. Yet
somebody undoubtedly does know, and the in
formation is very important to the public
interests. Out of respect for his position as a
Senator, the Committee have cOntented them
selves with sending Mr.. Boutwell, mint in
stead of summons. We trust they will not
abandon the inquiry without submitting him
to an examination. A speech in Congress is
not what they want or what the country ex-
poets. Mr.. Boutwell, can undoubtedly vindi-
cate himself in an address before the Senate {;
but, if he will pardon the seeming rudeness
of the remark, his vindication is an affair In
which the public takes a very slight interest.
The Committee are entitled to whatever FACTS
he can give them in respect to the mysterious
generation of these contracts, and are entitled
to question him in their own way. WIZ not
