Wanted-An Opinion.

Mr.. Columbus Ryan, OF Cornelius Ryan
what's in a name?-no doubt makes 'sgood
thing" out OF his eating and drinking estab-
lishments in Central Park. The refreshment
and liquor business is very profitable, espe-
cially when 1t is carried on as a sort of monop-
oily and is not subject to close competition.
1t is calculated, we believe, that seventy per
cent of the money taken for wines and liquors
at the current prices in such first class estab-
hshments as those owned by Columbus (or
Cornelius) is clear gain, and dinners, lunches,
suppers, ice cream, ginger ale, soda water,
doughnuts, cakes and candies are all made to
pay good profit. No doubt the Casino, Mount
st. Vincent and the other establishments run
by Mr.. 9. Ryan-we can compromise on the
initial of the doubtful name-are well con-
ducted, and no doubt he supplies as good
wines, liquors, cigars and food as he ought
to supply for the first class prices he charges.
But the question is, by what right have the
Commissioners of the Central Park leased
these valuable buildings belonging to the Cor
poration to Columbus, Cornelius, or any other
man, when the charter requires that they
shall be leased by the Commissioners of the
Sinking Fund, and then only to the highest bid
der after public advertisement for bids? BY
what right especially have they conferred this
contract or lease or these perquisites upon
an officer of the Corporation when the law
positively prohibits such an act and makes it
misdemeanor?
We can see only one way out of this diff
Guilty. The Park Commissioners have clearly
violated the law. The Comptroller who has
paid G. Ryan's salary as an officer Of the Cor
poration, while knowing him to be the owner
of this valuable contract, and who has settled
with G. Ryan in the matter of the contract,
while knowing him to be salaried officer of
the Corporation, has been guilty of an illegal
oct. Nothing is left, therefore, but to obtain
legal opinion that the Park buildings are
not 'city property" and that the Park
Commission is not bound by the charter
powers and limitations. This opinion
might cover the ground that the pro-
vision OF the charter fixing salaries,
which says, 'To the President of the Depart
nent Of Parks, six thousand dollars to the
Commissioners of Parks other than the Pres-
dent, nothing" is mere technically, and is
meant to read, 'To the Commissioner of
Parks, enjoying the honorary title Of Treas-
urer, four thousand dollars" To be sure,
some other questions may remain to be
answered, as, for instance, whether the Park
Department has furnished and fitted Mr.. G.
Ryans hotels, restaurants and saloons at the
l public expense. and whether the amount ot

A Startling Exhibit.

The charter requires the Corporation Coun-
sci to report every six months the suits pend
ing in his Office, their nature and the amounts
claimed, with other information. This report
appeared yesterday in the sheet called the City
Record, which the people never see. 1t is
startling exhibit. Fourteen or fifteen pages
are filled with closely printed matter which
show that there were some tour or five thou
sand suits pending on the Both of June last
or settled during the preceding six months.
The amount claimed against the city in pend
ing suits appears to be between seven and
eight million dollars, Independent of costs and
interest. There are, besides, a large number
Of suits for vacation Of assessments, which, if
successful, will throw an additional heavy
burden on the city. 1t will be remembered
that not dollar of these contested claims ap-
pears in Comptroller Green's debt statements
but are in addition to the amount of the public
liabilities as represented to the people by the
Finance Department. This shows the neces-
sity of a complete investigation Of our fnan-
cial condition, and explains the motives that
have prompted the suppression of the report
on the floating debt said to have been pre-
pared by the Commissioners of Accounts.

THE New YORK NAUTICAL ScHooL.-The
Board of Education has proceeded so far with
the organization of q nautical school as to
make the appointment of Superintendent
and to ask the Secretary of the Navy for the
use of vessel The importance of such an
institution in this city under the auspices Of
the Public School Board cannot be overes-
timated. Our commercial marine ought to
have officers better fitted for the duties of
ocean navigation than is possible when the
forecastle is the only training school. Under
the old system of sailing vessels this was well
enough but the introduction of steamships
has made higher order Of ability and more
thorough education necessary. The techni-
calities Of seamanshlp have gone beyond the
grasp of the forecasue. Under these circum-
stances it is only by means of nautical schools
that growing demand tor well educated and
well trained officers can be supplied. Congress
has done wisely in providing for the establish
ment Of these schools, and we shall look for
ward with much interest to the success Of the
institution about to be fully organized by the
Board of Education under the authority of
that act and we trust the Navy Department
will-not be backward in placing proper YES
sci at tbs disposition of the Board.

Another Steamboat Burned.

The particulars of the burning of the
steamboat Pat Rogers on the Ohio River,
which we print this morning, are sufficiently
heartrending, even in the absence of that
criminal carelessness which is usually the
cause of disasters like this. There seems to
have been no weak boiler in this instance, nor
was the disaster due to any of the ordinary
causes, and yet it was one which should not
have occurred Aspark, it Is believed ignited
some bales of cotton which were part of the
cargo and thus the vessel was destroyed, in
volving the loss of many lives Such an acci-
dent should have been impossible, and yet We
cannot call that carelessness which is general
usage. There is scarcely q steamboat on any
of our lakes or rivers which is free from dan
gers Of this character. 1t is impossible to
suppress the sparks. It is equally impossible
to hide away the boat and the cargo from the
smokestack. The cotton bales being more in
fammable than the ordinary elements of a
boats cargo should have been placed so as to
be least exposed to danger, and yet almost
every boat that traverses our waters has
equally infammable material constantly ex-
posed where the sparks may penetrate. 1t is
not case of individual carelessness, but it is
an illustration of universal fault Some
thing must be done to secure greater safety in
storing the cargoes and placing the furniture
of steamboats,, and we can see no reason why
the models of our river craft should not be
preserved at the same time that it shall be i'm
possible for sparks to penetrate places of
danger.
The New York herald., 1874-08-06

selection of candidates somewhat similar
to that experienced by the administra-
ton republicans 1t has been decided by the
leaders not to call the Democratic State Con-
vention until after the republican nominees
shall have been put into the field. But when
the Convention meets so far as the New York
delegation is concerned, it will be found that
the representation is confined to the
Tammany politicians, while the outside democ-
racy of the city will be without q voice in
the nominations that will be made If the
democratic party desires success it will be
necessary to study this outside element and
to iberalize the ticket, for on the vote Of New
York city the result in the State will depend.
Here, also, there are rumors of intrigues and
plots which may or may not have foundation.
1t is said that the tactics of 1862 are to be
repeated, and that while one candidate or
another for Governor will be brought forward
and canvassed prior to the meeting Of the
Convention, the name of Horatio Seymour is
suddenly to be sprung upon the delegates
and carried through by acclamahon.
Whether success would attend such policy
as in 1852, however, is open to grave doubt
The sense Of the party outside the leaders
seems to be to bury past issues and to take
new departure, and it is this sentiment
which points to Judge Church as the
popular candidate on the democratic side for
the Office of Governor. The objection raised
to Judge Church's candidacy by his political
friends is based upon the fact that vacancy
would be created in the Supreme Court, which
would be filled by o republican Governor,
since the resignation could not take place
three months before the next election. But
the appointed Judge would only hold Office
until 1875, and the selection would be certain
to be wisely made by Governor Dix. Besides,
/ it would be but poor compliment to
Judge Church to urge his retention on the
bench of the Supreme Court on account of his
political opinions. 1t is certain that careful
and conciliatory nominations will be as essen
tial in the case of the democracy as they will
be on the part Of the republicans. The people
are held but lightly nowadays by the bonds Of
party, and success or failure in the next State
election, as in the city of New York, will de-
pend mainly on the popular acceptance or
repudiation of the personnel of the political
tickets.

The SOUTH AND THE THIRD TEEM.-We
publish in another column letter from ex-
Governor Hebert, of louisiana on the third
term question, in which that gentleman mani
tests great distrust of the Northern democracy
and intimates that the only salvation for the
South lies in the reelection Of General Grant
While Mr.. Hebert has been all his life identi-
fed with the interests of the section for which
be presumes to speak, it would seem ex-
tremely illogical in the South to anticipate
relief from the evils under which they labor
from the continuance in power of one who
has been repeatedly blamed by Southern
leaders as the chief cause of all their recent
difficulties.

TIE FRENCH ASSEMBLY voted the Treasury
clared the session closed. The members of
the Legislative Body will consequently enjoy o
recess to the 10th of November. President
MacMahon will be enabled to carry on the
