RIVERS AND HARBORS.


The Committee on Commerce of the House
of Representatives have reported bill appro-
priating the further sum of $5,O09,2O0 to
be expended on the harbOrs and rivers Of the
United States. 1t is such extravaganza as this
and nothing else that is at the bottom of the
proposed increase of forty millions in the taxes.
Before the war, when the country was better
able TO lay out money on princely projects than
it is now, half a million dollars a year was the
average sum expended for the improvement of
our harbOrs and rivers. Now the very Con-
gress that proposes to increase taxes forty
million dollars calmly continues an annual
expenditure of five millions year ON the
c0ves, bays. and creeks of our coast as
though nothing had happened to detract from
tho pleasure with which people devote their
incomes to the service of their cOuntry's con-
tractors. 1t is estimated that railroad bonds
to the capital sum of five hundred millions
have become worthless since the panic, but
the interest at seven per cent on this entire
amount is less than the fresh taxation which
Mr.. Dawes and his fellow-p artisans prefer to
in6ict on the country rather than make good
their pledges of economy. Ten per cent
interest on the total liabilities of the ten
thousand firms that have failed in all the
United States since the Spring of 1873 is less
than the annual addition to the taxes which
Mr.. Dawes has just advocated on the floor of
the House, without being able in the remOtest
degree to justify, or even plausibly to excuse.
In order to place the extravaganza of the
proposed appropriations for rivers and har-
bors in the clearest light, we have compiled
from the annual reports of the Secretary of
the Treasury the following summary of the
total expenditures for these purposes since
1853. The amounts for the first nine years in
the table include also roads and bridges. For
the seven years from 1858 to 1869, inclusive,
no separate statement is made of this class OF
expenditures. They disappear with $62,2S6 ex-
pended in 1862 for both roads and bridges and
rivers and harbors, and reappear in 1870 with
sirty times that sum expended on rivers and
harbors alone, and three years later, in 1873,
we find the immense aggregate of 1870 again
nearly doubled No wonder, since every Con-
gresham whose district contains stream or
patch of water Of consequence enough to float
sloop must thrust his arm into the Treasury,
and the same principle is extended to public
buildings, navy-yards, land grants, subsidies,
and everything else. And that is why the
Sinking Fund is neglected and the Treasury
runs dry.

NOME RULF.

Whitaker we may think Of the partisan
purposes underlying the bill which passed tne
Assembly Yesterday, the bitter partisan splrit
in which IL was debated, and the probable
effect of some of its most hOtly-contested
provisions. there is certainly something to De
said in its favor. inasmuch as it may enable
the Democratic majority-if it becomes law
to give our city an important privilege long
unrighteously withheld. Whether the vicious
,ciI make the most patriotic disposition Oh
their victory we may be permitted to douDt;
there is nothing encouraging IN their temper )
but they have the power to restore to the people
the management of their own AFFAIRS ana the
people of course expect them to do II. Wheh
the Mayor has full power to appoint and re-
move the subordinate beads OF departments,
and we know therefore exactly whom to hold
responsible for every kind of maadmlnlstra-
ton and neglect, the work OF reform becomes
much simpler than 1t has ever been before IN
the municipal history of this generation The
abuse of authority and the corrupt use OF pat
ronage are easy under such system but the
remedies for them are easy likewise.
We doubt not the astute politicians who
have managed the impending revolution in
responsibility they have assumed, and are
we'll aware of the attitude which their adver-
saries have taken toward them. Very possibly
tho Republicans may now think it the best
policy to offer no obstacle to the further pro-
gress of the Costigan bill, but give the victorious
party all the rope they want, and wait to see
what they will do with it. The Democracy has
the reputation of being slow TO learn anything
honest, but surely it might take to heart the
lesson of its defeat in 1871. Tweed on the
Island, Ingersoll in the State Prison, Con-
molly and Genet in exile, Sweeny hiding
somewhere beyond the seas,-these fallen
princes teach that no political organization,
however rich, however compact, however nu-
merous, hswever cunningly directed, can con
troll the State of New-YOrk by setting its
agents TO swindle the city.

The future course of the gold premium has
not since 1865 been more uncertain than 1t is
to-day. The permanent causes, such as the
known demands of Germany for gold to take
the place of its silver coinage, and the unsat-
isfactOry state of the Bank of highlands re-
serve, will operate for some time to come in
favor of a higher premium. On the other
hand we understand that Secretary Bristow
has determined TO purchase thirty millions of
bonds for the Sinking Fund. This, however,
cannot be counted on as a certainty, since the
Secretary also has power to purchase gold and
store it away in the Treasury preparatory to
resumption in 1879, and the latter operation,
so far as it is carried out necessarily neutral
ICES the former. Meanwhile the market for
bills of exchange on London is in state of
chaos, the Bank of England's rate is again
moving upwards and gold in Wall Street,
under the steady drain to which Secretary
BrstOw is subjecting the market, is every day
growing scarcer. The sooner the Secretary
makes proclamation what he IS going to do
with The Sinking Fund, and what action. II

1t is very easy to understand that the
Orleanists in France should prefer the Repub-
lie to the Empire. They were long enough in
coming to conclusion, even after they had
every reason to believe that their choice was
limited to those two forms of government.
They seem to have partially recovered from
their late fright at their own temer-
ity in voting with the Republicans.
The agreement now made between the
Right and Left Centers on plan for
organizing the Senate might have gone much
further and kept within the bounds which the
Orleanists' interests require. 1t is not too bad
to he accepted by the Republicans and if the
more radical of them approve of it, there is a
reasonable prospect Of constitution being
adopted.
