NOTHING TO SAY About IT.

The Special Committee of the Senate now
engaged III the investigation of our Municipal
Government is understood to have been created
by Republican statesmen at Albany in order
to get even with the Democratic Assembly
Committee which has been searching into the
causes and treatment of metropolitan crime.
If one succeeded in laying bare discrcdiiablc
secrets of the police stations and the District
Attorneys Oflice, the other was pretty certain
TO rctaliatc bv exposing the abuses OF Tam
many Hall end the Department of Public
Works The double investigation may not
have been promoted by the most unseliish
motives, but il will probably do good If we
could have both political parties simultane-
ou,ly investigating and showing up each other,
not only in NcW-York. but in Albany, in
Washington, in Philadelphia, in Harrisburg,
and in all other ccnterS OF political activity,
campaign journalism for while would be
disgusting, but politics would soon become
purer We trust. therefore. that neither Com
mittce will allow its zeal to flag.
The disclosures made before Senator, Booth
and Tobcv are interesting though not entirely
unexpected. knowing that the Administration
has already discharged the large gangs OF
voters employed about election time in repair
ing ON most ancient monuments of naval
architecture, we were prepared to hear that
the Tammany labOrers who got Jobs of work
on the Boulevard at the same critical period
were likewise dropping Off in large numbers.
We knew. moreover that a very little inquiry
would show that the honest sous of toll who
get their living out of the city are not in the
habit of rendering a fair equivalent for their
pay. but they loaf around the spot where work
j. supposed TO be going on, and smoke their
pipes. and play cards, aud discuss the burning
questions Of ward politics. 1t was for this that
the Hon John Morussey and the CustomHouse
leaders decided that they ought TO have twenty
five per cent more than the market rate Of
wages. Still ii is useful TO have these familiar
fact, presented to the Committee in Il forciblc
and picturesque style. 4 propcrty-ovner who
lives r,ar the Boulevard and amlI~cs himself
watching the idlcness of the city lahorers and
calculating the rapid depreciation of his estate
under the burden of assessments which repre-
sent only a fractional part of the estimated
improvement, told the Committee that this
work was controlled by downtown politicians,
"and those who paid the taxes and were in
"tercsted had nothing to say about it,"
That is just the mistake. Those who pay
the taxes and are interested in an honest
expenditure of them had au opportunity to
say something about reform of the system
the other day. Bad rs the management of the
municipal public works has been. an attempt
has been made to conduct them in one respect
on business principles by cutting off the gratui-
tie, paid out of the public treasury to these
idle lahorcrs If il va, not possible to make
thcm work. the Mayor and Gen. Porter at
New-York tribune., 1875-11-13

least deserved credit for deciding that they
should not be paid more than industrious men
who did work for private employers. Inc
anti-Tammany faction reyoItcd from thiS
determination aud made it the one Issue
of the political campaign; and the Custom
House, joining hands with them enabled them
to carry the city, and stamped upon the only
attempt which has been made by anybody to
reform the abuses in the public works an en-
phatic popular disapprobation. The gentlemen
who did this were those who pay the taxes
" and are interested in the improvements The
gentlemen who voted with the " downtown
politicians" to increase the cost and ineill-
cheney of street-openingS, sewer-buiding, %c,
and to pay Tammany laborcrs 80 day Tor
PLAYING cards in vacant lots instead OF III 6o
were the uptown real estate owners, the brown
Stone Voters, who now complain that the more
land a man owns up town the poorer he Is ana
the quicker he is ruined. One of these days
perhaps they will discover that it is not worth
while to complain in the newspapers OF abuses
which their own folles have nOurished. Proyl-
dcnce helps those who help themselves.

- GOVERNJENT BUILDINGS.

Supcryising Architect Potter has apparently
studied the works of his predecessor to some
purpOse His duties have compelled him 10
survey a greater number of the creations OF
Mullett than it has been the misfortune OF most
men to behold, and he has bestowed upon them
an amount of study and miputeness of OBJ
servaton from which the private citizen Is
happily exempt. Wo can imagine the effect
upon cultivated and highly organized man
of q year spent in the contemplation of these
frightful objects. Plans of them fill his Office,
the dread reality looms upon him when he
walks abroad. and preposterous piles OF granite
and diabolical forms of Seneca sandstone tor
ment his dreams. Mr.. Potter becomes haunted
with an awful fear that in time, by much asso-
citation with these vulgar shapes, he may come
TO build like Mullett. The Supervising Architect,
he says, has no leSIli- 10 study his designs,
and even if he had it Is impossible that
any one man should give individuality and
variety to great number Of public buildings,
all designed for nearly the same purposes and
erected under substantially the same conditions.
SO he begs that his Office may be restricted to
supervisory duties and the preparation of de-
signs thrown open to the competition OF the
profession.
Mr.. Potter's report il conspicuous proof of
his fitness for the place for which the President
has fortunately chosen him. All that he says
is sensible. a Government building filling a
large place in the public eye, and emptying a
largo place IN the public pocket always hls a
great and lasting influence upon art, either for
good or for evil, and if We go on i'll our pres
ent ridiculous course we shall make ourselves
the laughing stock of the world, and destroy
all hope of a respectable national architecture.
Mulletts breed Mullctts with frightful fecundity.
If we wish to have any decent buildings, by
all means let us give chance to the men
who are able to make them.
New-York tribune., 1875-11-13
THE PRESIDENT MAKERS.

Since the November elections the newspapers
have been turning their attention somewhat TO
President making and unmaking. So far as We
can gather from the combined wisdom of all
of them. the elections were fatal 10 almost
everybody who had any prominence rs pr0ba-
ble or possible candidate. There has MT been
such carnage among distinguished persons i'll
many q year. 1t began early with the taking
of uutimcly of President Grant, who was sup
posed to have been removed by the passage
in various States OF anti-thirdterm rcsO-
lutiOns, but who has lately shown symp-
toms of recovery. Then Mr.. Blaine was
supposed to have been slain by the election
returns from his own State showing large Re-
publican losses. Then fell Allen and Thur
man and Hendricks and PendlotOn and great
crop of littor folk in the imitation disasters of
Ohio and Pennsylvania. Morton went down
when the new Attorney General came in and
put a stop to the outrage business. All over
the country the mortality among leading
statesmen for the past six months has been
exceeding great. Meantime there came up to
be more or less talked of for the Presidency,
BristOw. who had shown n disposition 20 pro
mote reform in the Treasury Department ;
Jewell. who WAS doing good work III

Loader perjury case have, it is true, paved the
way to obtain testimony from the brother OF
Mrs Tilton and his wife. But whether such
testimony or any other of that sort can be
introduced in court must largely depend upon
proof not yet obtained that Leaders own story
had any foundation.
New-York tribune., 1875-11-13

Mr. Abram :. Hewitt has written manly letter
to The HTdH correcting misapprcheusion with re-
gard to his speech at the recent meeting Of the Demo-
cratic General Committee. Mr.. Hewitt declares
thar whenever Tammany Hall falls again into the
hands of dishonest Ring he shall abandon and de-
nounce it, as he has heretofore done; but if the
wealthy and educated classes will not cooperate
with il when il is honestly trying to secure good
municipal government, then his faith in universal
suffrage for this city will be greatly shaken. Ono
might be excused for doubling the generally ac-
ccpted principles Of rcpublcanism after the events
of last week but fOllics such as this alliance be-
tween " the wealthy and educated classes and the
most disrepuablc outcaSts, this banding together of
the two extremes OF society against the sensible
middle class 10 win petty partisan advantage, al
ways bring reaction, and so work their own cure.
although may yet have to suffer many serious
consequences of the blunder. More debt, heavier
taxation, aud a great deal of individual hardship
are, at any rate, inevitable.
New-York tribune., 1875-11-13

Facts already ascertaincd render it highly
probable that the burning of the steamer
Waco. and the loss of the lives of crew and
passengers, were due to petroleum forming
part of she cargo. The law respecting the
carriage Of in1ammable goods on passenger
steamers is very explicit, and if it has been
violated 10y the owners of the Waco, their
position in the matter is worse than mfoItu-
nate.
New-York tribune., 1875-11-13

Dr. J. l. Billings of the Surgical Corps Of the Army
is an able man, and his suggestion Of system for
registering certain diseases throughout the country
deserves consideration. The proposal, however.
that the Government should do this carries things too
far. The Government does a great deal more now
than it ought to undertake, and the chef business
it should set before it is to keep its hands from med
ding not to be laying them upon more and moro
departments of private enterprise.
New-York tribune., 1875-11-13

A letter signed s.. published in another col
umn, gives specific denial to most of the
statements of previous letter from Fulton,
n. Y, respecting the circumstances of the sui
eide of Mr. Kimball, Que of the canal ell
gineers. With the two utterly contradictory
accounts before us, both from townsmen OF
Mr.. Kimball, we willingly accept in preference
the one which places the more favorable con-
struction on the facts and redeems his chanc-
ter from needless aspersi0n.
New-York tribune., 1875-11-13

The severity of the labors of MesSrs. Moody
and Sankey give cause for anxiety among the
friends of the revival movement. The break
ing down of Mr.. Moody's health would of
course impair if not entirely prevent the work
projected in other cities and it would certainly
seem TO be the part of wisdom that he should
take a brief interval of relaxation after leaving
Brooklyn. before undertaking new response
bitico and toll at Philadelphia.

BY refraining from making district or de-
partmental voting a Cabinet question, the
French Government has acquired the adyan-
tage of victory without incurring the risk
of defeat. The small majority of p, by which
district voting was carried in full House, Is
not, however, sufficient to discourage greatly
the Republicans, who had the ablest statesmen
in the Assembly on their side. The question,
moreover, was obviously one on which party
discipline could not be maintained.
New-York tribune., 1875-11-13

Among the many valuable papers read at the
meeting of the American Public Health Asso-
ciati0n, one of the most suggestive was DR..
Claypole's essay on popularizing sanitary
science in our schools. 1t is certainly
true that the average American is in
some respects singularly careless OF his
health. Perhaps ignorance is the prime cause
of such carelessness. At all events better
knowledge of the conditions necessary to
keep the human machine in good running
order would at least place the responsibility
for i'll health where it usually belongs-On the
patient rather than on the doctor.
New-York tribune., 1875-11-13

The interview with Senator Bayard, which
we PRINT Ill another column this morning, de-
serves regard, both from the high character of
the Senator himself and the straightforward
way in which his opinions are expressed. The
Senator is not borrowing any trouble on the
subject of the Presidency, but it is undeni-
able that he is one of the two or three most
prominent candidates in his party, aud the one
against whom the least hostility is at present
concentrated. The Bayard family has rem
dered honorable and conspicuous public service
through three generations, and It's present
representative is more than upholdng the
honor of the old name. The Democratic party
has no purer or ADLER man, and Congress no
more faithful Senator.
