as JoHN r. AoNEw and WILSON G. HUNT,
had made good progress in the way of put
ting affairs in shape for securing the need
ed improvements of the water front. Or
binary intelligence should soon have
brought fruit from seed so well planted.
But the new Commissioners must have u
plan OF their own; and the consequence
Is told in the new engineers report.
This wretchcd miscarriage of our dock
Improvement is of serious concern to the
business of the city. In the matter of con-
venicuccs for commerce, Now York u fall
ing behind other cities less favorably stu
ated TO command its control. Boston,
Philadelphia. Baltimore, and Montreal
arc all quietly improving their VIA
ter front. and absorbing portions Of
the commerce which belongs to New
York. Better have no Dock Depart
ment than the confessed failure which
now bears that name. The next Legisla-
ture must abolish the concern, with all It's
rosewood desks, miles of red tape. eminent
citizens, and rctinue Of novitiate engineers.
One experienced and competent engineer
in the Department of Pubic Works would
do the work better We are sorry for the
highly respectable citizens who gather
about the round table of the dock board,
but we are stil sorricr for the people of
the city, who are asked to attend the fune-
raj OF their money slaughtered through in
competence.

We can hardly wonder Mt the vigorous
language recently used 10y the Buffalo Erpr'ss
In denOuncing tho inqusltorial PROCEEDINGS of
Gov. iILOEN's Canal Commission when We see
what tho mental thumb screwe," OF which It
80 Indignantly complained have brought TO
Hight Among The ltClt Indictments found
against the Canal Ring was ono AGAINST ID. CftH-
TON WELCn, one OF the rroprctors Of the Er-
press and q member Of the Republican County
Committee, who Is charged with conspiracy and
perjury. II IL alleged that he has been engaged
In some very queer transactions In coal. IL
seems that the mental thumb screws having
been applied to one Whistler, a coal dealer,
who Is also described ~ a Republican Alderman
aud pillar Of the church, he was induced to
confess that he had been IN tho habit o. supply
ing WEIGH with large quantities OF coal for his
own use and charging IL to the State, besides
paving him commission Of atty cents a ton on
all coal delivered to him, not only for the state,
but likewise for hs private use. The most
hoartfcnding feature OF the whole business h.,
that the Commission, after having extortod from
the pious WEBSTER this confession, and getting
ossession OF his books. instead OF permitting
him to depart In peace, likewise procured his
indictment for conspiracy and perjury. and they
intend 20 press the suit. II can hardly be won
dcrod at that the heartlessncss displayed by the
Commissioners In these proceedings should ex-
cite the INDIGNATION Of the faithful supporters
OF an Administration distinguished for colos-
p frauds pcrpetratcd by the personal and po-
ltical friends OF 1t heed.

The letter 10 Mr.. BELMONT was merely
the expression OF n low nature and british

expression Of intense dishonesty. lttoachcs

coed in tho commission OF their crimes.

such schemes OF raacality ever found II
place In his hearth And is his repeutancp
sincere and thcrouchp Docs he mean 10
