The Mission to England.

1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Dana, the
proposed Minister to England, and the SEN
ate Committee on Foreign Relations have
drifted into a false position. In the first
place we cannot conceive it possible that the
Senate or the committee would for moment
care to reject Mr.. Dana. His high personal
character; the generous support he has re-
ceived from Massachusetts,, without distinc-
ton of party the welcome acceptance of his
name by the press of Americaand England
all contribute toward making his appoint
ment an exceedingly fit one. On the other
hand, the opposition to him is so manifestly
personal, malicious and unjust that it should
be an element of strength. The fact that
General Butler, for instance, deems Mr. Dana
to be an unfit Minister will be an assurance
to dozen Senators alone, if no other reason
existed, that he is the fit and proper NOM
inee.
But the committee have offended Mr..
Dana, and Mr.. Dana has offended the
committee. There is a quarrel and
temper-just what Mr.. Dana's enemies
rejoice to see. Mr.. Dana falls back upon his
'honor as private gentleman" says he
never asked the Office, does not want it and
will not go to Washington to defend his
character The Senate falls back upon ''its
dignity as coordinate branch of the gov
ernment," and says that if Mr. Dana does
not see fit to answer the summons of its COM
mittee he must not expect its ''advice and
consent" to his nomination.
And yet all this time the country is salts
fed with Mr.. Dana. The President nomi-
mates him and will not withdraw his name ;
and the Senate we have no doubt, if there
were no artificial issues at stake, would at
once confirm him. Now, is there no way out
of this difficulty? The true plan is for the
Senate to take up Mr.. Danas case on its
merits alone. Let the charges be made in
open Senate Do not let any misunderstood
ing between this gentleman and the Senate
operate to do a wrong to the public service as
well as to distinguished citizen. Mr. Dana
has friends who will set him right in the event
of any assault. It would be calamity and
a scandal if the intrigues against man like
Mr.. Dana were to prove successful. Let the
Senate give Mr.. Dana's nomination hearing.
Do not smother him in a committee under
some side issue or technicality. We want
such man as Minister, and we are con-
vinced that if the Senate will only give his
name proper consideration he will be con-
frmed without question or delay.
The New York herald., 1876-03-23
No More Bonds.

1t is proposed to build bridge over the
Harlem River at some point between Fifth
and Fourth avenues. At the meeting of the
Board of Apportionment on Tuesday Mayor
Wickham moved to issue bonds to the
amount of ten thousand dollars with which
to begin the work. Mr.. Green opposed the
motion, but he was beaten. The motion was
passed, the bonds will be issued and the
work will begin.
We are in favor of building not only this
bridge but of giving bridge to every ave-
nue. across the Harlem. In time this river
will be spanned with bridges even as the
Seine and Thames are now. We approve of
this, but not of the manner in which it is
done. This issuing of bonds for every i'm
provement is driving us into bankruptcy.
There can be no economy in any business or
government managed on this plan. If we
were in a war, or in the presence ofsome great
calamity, or if we were called upon to
meet some sudden emergency, we could see
the wisdom of issuing bonds. The credit of
But this is not the time Instead of issuing
bonds we should be recalling and extin-
gushing them. This is what the national
government is doing and what the city gov
ernment should do. If we build bridges we
should pay for them. If we have no money
we should raise it by taxation. We should
so grade our receipts and expenditures every
year that we could have a surplus. This
surplus should be applied to the payment of
portion of the debt.
This business of issuing bonds for every
want is wasteful, and will in time be ruin
Gus. Some means should be taken to with
draw the power to pledge the city credit
now possessed by the Board of Apportion-
ment Every dollar of debt we create now
is only tax upon our children. New York
is rich enough to pay as she goes and we
trust that the friends of municipal reform
will insist upon her doing so.
