The HINTS OFFERED to the Mayor BY the
HERALD in relation to the correction Of petty
abuses have not been UNDECIDED. Last week
several cab licenses we're revoked on account
OF extortion. One driver charged stranger
nearly seven dollars from the Corllandt street
ferry to the corner Of Washington and Watts
streets. There should be some punishment
for such cases of gross swindling besides the
revocation of the licenses. A continuance Of
these examples will enable citizens and visit
ors to hire cabs without the certainty Of being
imposed upon, and abused in case Of resist
ance.

RACING on THE RrvER.-There is no racing
on the Harlem River between the rival steam
boats which run from Peck slip to Harlem
bridge, II We may trust the word Of the OIL
GERS whose statements are given in the HERALD
to-day. But it is admitted BY one Of these
gentlemen that ''when we are a little ahead
we won't let them pass us if We can help il,
and they won't let rs pass If they can help
it" This distinction would make little diff
ference to the passengers in case Of collision
or an explosion, either Of which might occur
under the present system. The steamboat
rivalry on the Harlem River recalls the old
fashioned races on the Mississippi, and Is
almost as exciting and desperate The officials
excuse their course on the ground that the
public patronizes the fastest boat, but we
think the danger is more apt to brighten than
70 attract passengers.

rolling wave. The fact that ladies knd gen.
tlemen Of high degree, peers and princesses,
do not disdain to honor Moody and Sankey
with their countenance, shows that they are
not merely iliterate street preachers speaking
to the winds. This is something, for religion,
even in process OF revival is not unmindful
of the dignities of life. When once preacher
can induce a princess to look upon him he
will, we are afraid, bave q comelier presence
to the multitude. Certainly the revival in
London and in New York is assuming
prodigious proportions. Events of the recent
years have tended to make men thoughtful.
Wars III Europe and America, business panics
and distress and widespread misery,
famine in Asia Minor and in India, the sudden
awakening of Japan to the duties OF our more
practical civilization, strange phenomena IN
nature, the oscillation of ancient Kingdoms
and Tie unrest of more ancient forms OF law
and society, the ever-increasing strife between
the greatest spiritual and temporal powers
in Europe-is it any wonder that IN time
like this the minds of men should turn to
holier things? Mr.. Disraei processes to see
the coming of a great crisis. Prince Bismarck
and Cardinal Manning prophesy a gigantic
struggle. When these princes OF church and
State become so anxious about coming events
why should not humber people turn to
closer contemplation of Christ the Lord, who
died to save us all?

T1cHBoRNE AeAIN.-It is evident the Tich-
borne case is not destined soon to disappear.
1t crops up at seasonable and unreasonable
hours and seems destined to become q kind
of chronic nightmare to the British public.
There has been lively debate in the House
of Commons over petition to dismiss the
Judges who sat in the case for Partially and
corruption. The impeachment of the Speaker
of the House of Commons was also urged ON
similar grounds. The conduct of the case
was certainly not very creditable to the Eng
Iish law courts, and there is some prospect
that the agitation of the question will do
much to shake the power and influence of thu
arstocratic class in England.

'RooT, Hoo, on DIE l"-The Indian Com
missioner has issued circular that will be
found interesting as the beginning of new
policy in dealing with the Indians. Congress
has passed an act requiring all able-bodied

whites intermarricd with Indians they must

couraged to select land and erect houses
upon it, AMI to conform as far
as possible to the amenities duties
and responsibilities Of civilization. This cir
cular, our correspondent informs us, has been
communicated to the Sioux. The experiment

As there is no doubt that Mr.. Washburne
has had conference in Paris with the French
Minister of Foreign Affairs on the relations OF
France to Mexico, it may become matter OF
some interest to know the precise attitude in
which we stand with regard to the two repub-
lies. Are we Mexicos first friend, and do we
become by taking up her cause in any de-
gree, or even constructively, sponsors for her
good conduct financially? Mr.. Washburne
is reported as having urged upon the Duke
Decazes the warm wish of General Grant that
France should reopen diplomatic relations
with our neighbor. Now all the difficulties
of France with Mexico are ostensibly finan.
cial. Aside from the 'Latin race" nonsense
which the Emperor Napoleon wrote to Mar
shall Forey, the basis of the expedition to
Mexico was to collect claim and thu
charge of the later difficulties is that the
French government by keeping open its rela,
tions with the Republic encouraged French
merchants in ventures of trade out of which
no money ever came. Do we then merely
urge France to change the opinion she has
formed of Mexico on evidence satisfactory to
her, or do we pledge ourselves in any way
that the facts will be different in the futuref

What with the delay Of spring and the
many ministerial changes that are taking
place here and around Us, and the anxiety
weeks. many Of the ministers seem TO have
scarcely time to announce their topics
beforehand. Last Sunday Dr. Deems
introduced Christ to the politicians, and
to-day be will introduce Him to the
sceptics, and win press upon their attention
the importance Of avoiding even the appearance
of evil. This, however, may be hard to do
with our present ideas Of religious convention
alsm and the general lack OF truthfulness
among men, which themes will absorb Mr.
Pullman's attention. Apropos Of certain
events now transpiring in this vicinity, the
duty Of Christians in regard to social evils
may be regarded as q topic of some impor-
lance. The measure Of this importance will
be given this morning BY Mr.. Alger, who
will also show that the chief cause, not
only OF these evils but Of all sin,
is the lack Of moral memory. There
is luxury in doing good, as many benevo-
lent persons have realized ere this, but il is
and again, and Mr.. Hawthorne will perform
this pleasant duty to-day. The Shepherd and
the Sheep will occupy Mr.. Terrys attention,
and DR.. Ever will continue his course on the
internal structure and external aspect of his
churchs worship. What the conditions Of
obedience 70 the Lord are will be explained
by Mr.. Brigham. ID. Thompson will present
some facts connected with the Reformation,
and Mr.. Hepworth will show the relation be-
tween belief in God and royal sonship The
Devils Suicide is a strange theme, but Mr..
Partridge has chosen it for his meditation,
and Mr.. Nye, Of Brooklyn, viii tell US what
sort OF revival we need, which ought to DO
subject Of interest in this time Of revivals.
DR.. Porteous, who, with his congregation,
will shortly leave their present cosey quarters
in Elm place, Brooklyn, will point out some
Of the faults, failings and falls Of religious
men, on which he should be an authority, Tor
he, too, is a misunderstood man, and in his
treatment Of this class to-day will doubtless
show his sympathy.

Mr. Beecher's Position In the Trial.
How important Mr.. Beecher is TO the Brook
Ign trial is shown by the tedium which at
tended n during the examination of Mr.. Til
ton and other witnesses both for the defend
ant and plaintiff, and the renewed interest,
now that Mr.. Beecher himself has taken the
stand. 1t became clear that even Oliver
johnson or Samuel Wiikeson could not satisfy
the public. Intense as was the desire to see
these witnesses, there was something wanting
which they might have had the genius but
apparently had not the crime to supply. So
with Bessie Turner and the negro who re-
buked Mr.. Fullerton for wasting unnecessary
time" in asking ridiculous questions in his
cross-examination. Mr.. Moulton was o sop
to Cerberus, yet did not stop the Ape
tite, which, like Oliver Twists, is
al ways asking for more. The demand
for excitement could not be satisfied
with the sensational fragments these witnesses
supplied. Perhaps Mrs. Morse, if she had
testified, might have stopped the trial, or Mr..
Bowen might have put an end to it with the
thunderbolt he is supposed to have in reserve.
But Mr.. Tilton could not take the place of
defendant While he was on trial the public
became impatient and yawned. Nobody
seemed to care much whether he cursed the
burned beefsteaks which the cook was ac-
cused of serving for breakfast or whether he
kissed Bessie or knocked her down in one of
his military moods-being born for war-or
how he behaved at Winsted, Conn There
was a certain degree of Indifference as to Mr..
Tilton's innocence or guilt He might have
burned down barn, or carried banner in o
Communistic parade, or embraced Mrs.
Woodruff, or murdered Mr. Sherman, and
nobody would have cared. Under the
circumstances, therefore, the attempt to make
Mr. Tilton the defendant was failure. The
public would not accept him in that capacity,
and has repudiated him with anger, as when
at the theatre it drives from the stage an in
ferior actor who attempts to take the role for
which great tragedian is announced.
1t must therefore be plain to all that with
out Mr. Beecher this trial would have no in
terest whatever He is really the principal
character and no one can fill his place. We
think further argument to this effect Is SUPER
fuous, and trust that the attempt to substi-
tute Mr.. Tilton as the defendant will be aban-
doned, out Of respect TO the public which,
having been invited to see a melodrama, will
not consent to be spectators Of a buresque.

Proposed street Cleaning Commission

Our Legislators are busy trying to solve the
difficult problem how to keep the streets of
New York clean. Ii is somewhat fortunate
that the elements lend the departments con-
siderable help, or we should despair of any
Official machinery accomplishing this impor-
tant duty. In the vain nope of making the
police force useful the broom was intrusted to
the hands of that magnificent force, but with
out securing the desired results. The fact of
the matter is the average policeman rather
scorns the idea Of being a public
servant and prefers to play the master.
1t was, therefore, natural for the police
officers quietly to throw the broom intrusted
to them into a corner, and as q result the
streets have been in state Of filth more dis
gushing than ever before since they have been
placed und r the care Of the Police Commits
sIoners. 1t would seem more logical to have
an independent Street Cleaning Bureau re-
sponsible tor the work Of keeping the city
clean. The police could then be used with
effect to report any negligence or failure Of
duty on the part Of the Street Cleaning De
partment This system i found to work
admirably in Europe, and there is no sufi-
cient reason why it should not be tried here.
