TO the EdftOr Of me TrfbUne.
SIR: While tie subject Of new pavement on tho
Fifth-ayc is being discussed, permit me to say that
40 years ago, according to my recollection, there
was none in the city but the ordinary cobbe-stOne.
About 10 years later, an experiment was made in
South Wlliam-st. of a wood pavement, the worth
essness of which soon became apparent. 1t went TO
decay and was removed by the Sanitary Board
under the administration Of Mayor Mickle. Next
came the Broadway Russ pavement, the blocks of
which, proving too large were split up and used in
other streets. This was succeeded by the present
excellent Broadway pavement; and this by the
Belgian pavement. which, being better than the
cobble-stonc, and less expensive than the Broad
way, was generally adopted. Aftcrward came the
wood ard other patent" pavcments, nearly all of
which have proved 10 be utterly worthless. or
these the wood Vlycmcuts have been most used
and they were adopted against tho protest Of
pcrence and common sense, and against the re-
nOnstrauces o. nearly all the property The
persistence with which the city authorities pressed
the putting down Of these payemcnts led very many
people /, believe that they pers J1ally inter
csted in The profits resulting thereirOm; aud be-
Heve that that prejudice Of prejudice 1t was is now
generally received rs ruth.
The adoption Of wood pavoments brought the soft
hOouf hCth sls WING pune anu tllu'N' Ai''n N"'A'
and Maine in contact With theron and steel tires Of
our New-Ioik wheels. We have tested which would
stand the rub the longest Any one passing through
the unfortunate streets where this experiment has
been going on will that the victory Of the metals
has been most signal and complete. Ii remains now
for to rid ourselves Of the unhealthy debris and

IN the large European cities the stone pavement

best pavement in 1t is nearly noiseless and is
easy for horses travel on; is not slippery in any
weather is less dusty than the Belgian and other
stone pavements because it is so compact that no
earth can pass through it from beneath Its surface
absorbs tho light dust that falls upon it, and in
measure the heavier dust which comes from its
wear Consequently it needs less sprinklng than
any other The Central Park Commissioners have

GOV. oSBORS's LETTER.
To the Edttor OF The tribune.


SIR: havo the honor to incoIc herewith a sum-
mary of the report Of the Kansas Central Reiief
Committee. Yesterday submitted to this department,
aud by me transmitted t, the Legislature. The
report itself is quite vouminous, and exhibits all
the transactions of the Committee from the date Of
its organization up to and including the 18th inst
This summary, however condenscs all the vital
facts and conveys explicit information to The re-
ceipts of the Committee. and the disposition made
Of thr same The detailed report, mainly made mp
cftabnlar statements, will b. printed in few days,
when n copy will be forwarded 10 you. Meantime,
TIE THBuNE would add 20 the weighty obllea-
tions which the kindness Of its editor has imposed
upon this people, by giving currency 10 the essen
tial facts embraced in the inc05cd document.
1t has not escaped my attention that the work OF
This Committee has been subjected TO adverse cut-
cis. but feel free to say that the objections have
been urged without knowledge and frequently with
evident malice / never knew an oneron3 and
thanlless task moro faithfully and hcnorably per-
formed than has been that thrust upon this Com
mttec; and if there are any men in the WIDE word
who more than others, entitled. at this particu
lar iuncturc to the gratitude of the people OF TINS
State the members Of this Committee are the ones.
Not a dollar Of money has been wasted; not an ar
ticle mislppliod. Some of the unfoundod lmight
also saw cruel criticism with which the operations
of this Committee have been assaed, has doubtless
emanated from bad men who would be glad
TO break down the guards with which
This relief business has been surrounded
in order that they might speculate upon the mserics
of their fcllow-citzcns, still larger portion is
due TO the jeaouscs of localities each fancyIg that
the others are receiving tho lions SHARE
You will observe from tho iuclOsed report that the
Committee cannot Justly be held responsible for the
conduct of the numerous soliciting agents who
have been endorsed" These men derive their
original authority from local officers Of the several
counties and thereupon receive the Endorsement OF
the Committee and the Executive. While thcrc can
be litlo doubt that the great majority, perhaps all
of these agents are doing their duty to their respec
five localities conscicntously neither the Commit
tee nor tho Executive can absolutely vouch for their
individual acts.
After what have said il is scarcely necessary TO
add that tho generous people Of the United States
mayrcposa tho fullest confidence il tho assurance
that whatever bcncfacton, may be consigned to the
Kansas Central Relief COMMITTEE, at Topeka will
be relisiosly devoted 10 the purposes intended By
the donors.
Again thanking yOu for yorr great kindness

About O'Clock yesterday evening the ice in
the Potomac began to move, and in short
time the river was clear. from the fish wharf
down. There is a considerable Jam at the
Three Sisters, but not enough to cause any
apprehension OF damage. So far as can be
ascertatned, the breaking up of the ice has
not occasioned a particle of injury to prop
