"ing.p AS to Mr. Schurz it is useless to waste
sympathy on him. This is not the first time
he has exposed himself to the whitening re-
buke of American statesmen for not having
been born in the country. When To that
crime he adds the gross outrage of cram
"mingn up with the doctrines OF the OLD
countries of Europe and undertakes TO put
them off on this rapidly growing and develop
ing country he deserves no mercy.

In his speech the other night at the Rapid Tran
sit meeting Mr. Eastman, who seems to be very
energetic and public spirited sort of gentleman. ex-
pressed his amazement at the disgusting patience
with which New Workers tolerated discomfort and
imposition. 1t was not flattering picture that no
drew of us, but it was faithful one. Ii Nj East

tons of the horse-cas, as he went about last week

content for 50 many years 20 bear with the prepOs
ferrous means of conveyance which the city railway

Both these occurrences are lamentable; and
both are highly discreditable to the force to
to which the men belong. The killing Of
Mcnamara was wholly inexcusable; and Doyle,
who killed Miss Lawer. yesterday, remained
on the police service after his hapless victim
had been warned that he was "a drunken

The communication of Mayor Havemeyer
and Controller Green to the State Senate, in
relation to the taxation proposed for the pres
ent year, is very conclusive as against the
Board of Aldermen. The great zeal of the
Aldermen for economy is chiefly directed to
the little matters which are connected with
the Controllers Office and which the public
generally are perfectly willing to leave under
the supervision of that officer. We fear, how
ever, that the Mayor and Controller go too far
in asking that the amount to be raised this
year for the payment of the first installment
Of the bonds issued, or to be issued to pay
the cOuntys share of the deficiency in the
State Treasury, should be made part of the
permanent debt of the city. If the permanent
debt of the city is never to stop growing, the
sooner we do away with the cumbrous ma
chinery of the Sinking Fund the better. The
most efficient measure that could possibly be
taken to arrest the growth of the taxes would
be to stop the growth of the city and county
debt.

There seems to have been no foundation for
the reports which originated during the late
elections in Great Britain, and have since
been repeated, that the British forces were
successful in the expedition against the
Ashantees. The substance of various accounts
published this morning appears to be that the
expeditionary forces, on their way to COOmas-
sic, the Ashantee capital, were attacked by
the Ashantees in force, under the direct con-
mand of the King. After severe en-
gagement, lasting almost an entire
day, there was no decided re-
suit The British loss was very
heavy. The fact that the expeditionary
army has suffered check of this character
must render its position critical. The Asian
tees, who were almost in state of democrat
izatiOn according to previous accounts, will be
much encouraged, and, if the report be true
that the communications Of the British are
endangered, there is good reason for the ap-
prehension which exists in England at this
moment.

1t would have been reasonably decent
thing if politicians could have contrved to let
the vacant Police Presidency alone until the
dead Police President were buried. AS they
insist on dragging the subject up, it may be
well enough to remind the public that
the gravest objection yet urged against
Mayor Havemeyer's course in public affairs,
was that he failed to get a thoroughly non
partisan Police Board. All the speculatiOns
and schemes thus far about the va
cancy hinge on the possibility of
making it moro partisan than it now is.
Is it not time for a new departure7 What
the public want is not the manipulation of
the police force in the interest of this or that
party, or of any personal faction, but the pre-
else reverse. Gentlemen at Albany may as
web take notice. The Republican party in
this city is not at a stage where tampcring
with the police can bring it any substantial
good to compensate for the odum it must
arouse.

Our great snow-storm has come late and
without warning. The weather "probabili-
"tiesn of Wednesday morning gave no notice
of the approaching storm, which seems to
have come from the southwest The fall of
snow has been heavy throughout an extended
region, north and south. In this city the
storm has been the most uncomfortable and
severe of the Winter, delaying travel and
seriously interfering with business. For to-
day clearing skies and mider weather are
promised.

In the Assembly yesterday an important bill
relating to County Treasures was passed by
vote of "a to %. The principal feature of this
bill Is the clause which takes from the treas
urer the right to select repositories Oh the
public funds and gives it to the Supervisors.
Treasurers are also rendered ineligible for re-
election, and stringent provisions concerning
the disbursement of money by County Treas
urers are made. The blll has caused consld-
cradle excitement among county officials, and
it was charged during the debate that ring y
lad been formed to prevent its passage.

To-day, if the House does not change its
mind, the final vote on the Franking Dill VIII
be reached. The gentlemen who have mani
tested most anxiety for the fate OF the Dill
would like to adopt Mr.. Haes amendment,
which simply revives the ancient nuisance IN
all its particulars. Without this amendment.
however, the proposition is to provide Tor the
free transmission of public documents and
seeds, the free exchange of newspapers De
tween publishers and the free TRANSMISSION OF
newspapers within the county where they are
published. Gen. Butler, who has medleVai
horror of newspapers, fifty closed the DEBATE
with his customary compliments to the press
In their OppOsiton TO the franking business
he thinks the newspapers do not reflect the
sentiment of the country as accurately AZ
Gen. Butler does.
The report of the naval drill off the coast
of Florida, which We print to-day, probably
gives a better idea Of the condition and eill-
cheney of tho United States Navy than any
Official document could do. Tho conclusions
are not specially encouraging. Commodore
Parker, who, as tho best informed observer OF
these evolutiOns, ought to be heard with great
respect, does not hesitate to express his low
opinion of the condition of the navy. He re-
fleets only the average sentiment of our naval
officers when he intimates that the vessels are
not we'll adapted to the service, that the COM
bination of sail and steam has not been sue
cessful, and that the navy has not been kept
up with the general progress made in the art
of maritime warfare. The reason for all this
is not FAR to seek. The chief evil is that
which afiiicts the whole public service-too
much politics.

ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED RoDBERY.-On

leave the house by the rear door and sur
prise the thieves after they had gotten In by
an attack on their flank. Armed with his
pistol he went softly down stairs, and was
lust about to come upon the would-be rob-
bers when q neghbor who heard them

SHOT On MAIN STREET.-On Wednesday
night Il misunderstanding arose at negro
ball between two young negro men named
Milo Grinnan and Mat. Bowles. Hot words
passed between them, but the parties were
finally quoted, and everything passed OH
pleasantly the remainder of the evening
while in the ballroom. About hall-past II
O'clock the parties met again on Main street
between Sixth and Seventh streets, when the
quarrel was renewed and q fracas ensued
during which Milo Grinnan drew pistol,
tired at BowieS, and ran away. The report
of the pistol attracted the neighbors to the
spot. and it was soon aScertained that
BoWles had been seriously wounded in the
left shoulder. He was at once removed to
the Office of Dr.. Robinson, where ne re-
ceiyed the proper medical attention. Later
in the evening Grinnan was arrested, and
Yesterday morning be was carried before the
Police Justice. DR.. Robinson stated that
BowlcS would not be able to appear in court
for at least three weeks, and the case was
thereupon continued and the accused re-
manded TO Jail
Milo says that BowleS cursed him severe
ly, and that he did not shoot him Intention
ally, but when he struck him the pistol
which be held in his hand was discharged,
the ball entering Bowles's back. Officers
Fenson and Sweeney, of the Second district,
caught the accused, but he succeeded III
making his escape. The officers, nothing
daunted. renewed the chase, and finally re-
captured Grnnan in a closet in rear oil
Woodward's old carpenter shop, on Seventh
street between Main and Cary streets.
