TIE NEW JERSEY CONTENTION
The Activity Of Blaine's Supporters-Some
Good Advice 10 the Wircpulicrs.


NEWARK, April 12.-New Jersey is bris-
Ting with contention among its Republicans
over the appointment Of delegates to its ap-
preaching State Convention at Trenton. where a
delegation is to be chosen to the National Con-
venton. The struggle Is mainly between Conk.
ling and Blaine though the friends OF Bristow
claim that he las good following. Thus far
the supporters Of the distinguished Senator
from New York seem to have the lead. one Of
Mr.. Blaino's principal hackers IN New Jersey is
understood To be the Hon. william Walter
Phelps. Recently at Engewood there was an
unusually large and exciting meeting for the
purpose OF electine dele. cate to the state Con-
yention. Mr.. Phelps was candidate, ami de-
fined his position AS an opponent OF Mr. Conk-
ling. The other candidate was Mr.. Lyman
Jones, former resident OF Utica. who made an
emphatic speech in favor OF the nomination Of
his friend OF the upper Mohawk. AT the close
OF the poll Jones was chosen by handsome
majority, very much TO the amszement OF Phelps.
/ should not be surprised to see the Trenton
Convection give Mr.. Conkllng its eighteen dele
gates and an endorsement In its resolutions.
In the latter, however, would warn the Con-
vention not TO copy the example set at Syracuse
In at least one particular. In the face OF pro-
tests the managers Of the New York Convention
carried through a resolution commencing 1.-THE
good work OF the national Administration IN
protecting the public treasury and Furnishing
public offenders" and declaring that on retiring
from once president Grant will carry with
him the lasting gratitude Of the American PEG

The committee investigating the expen-
ditures Of the Interior Department have been
endeayoring to get JOHN DELANo, the hopeful
son OF the late Secretary, before them as a wit
ness, but have not yet been able to secure his
attendance. They expect, however, to take his
testimony next week. While john Is making
clean breast OF It, he should be urged to tell
whot he, Col. Ell PARKER, CLINT WHEELER,
and JoHN's venerable sire, know about the Illegal
CUSTER expedition into the Black Hills country,
aud the efforts made to get up an excitement
over gold discoveries there-a job which is like
ly to cause u good deal OF trouble with the In
dians, and is certain to result In causing great
suffering to thousands OF misguided adventur-
ers, who have been induced to invade that
country In search OF gold In defiance of treaty
stpulations and at the peril Of their lives. Tine
committee should endeavor to ascertain whether
any portion Of the duties OF the scientific corps
accompanying the CUSTER expedition consisted
in locating, OF preparing for the location Of
claims for valuable lands. and IL so. who were
the persons who were to profit by their labors in
This direction.

A Boston contractor for timber bearing
the significant name Of TRfcKEY, who had be-
reported a. saying that he had paid 5000 to
secure the appointment Of ISAIAH lIANscoM to
be chef OF the Naval Board Of Construction aud
Repair, was examined before the House Com
mittce on Naval Affairs on Tuesday. He denied
having said anything OF the kind, but admitted
that he had used what influence he could to
secure the removal OF Naval Constructor LEN
THAI from the head Of the Bureau OF Consiruc-
ton md Repair, because the latter would not
pay the bills he brough, against the department,
explaining that his influence was exer,ed
through the Senators from Ma massachusetts, and

for the Senators from Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire to explain to their constituents why
they permitted themselves to be used by a con-
tractor to punish public officer Tor trying to

OF character TO make him greatly missed

Never, in any part of the world, was the
execution OF offenders carried out upon 50 large
a scale as II was in that part Of the Est Indies
called the Punjaub, under the administration OF
RUSJEET SINGH, before the annexation OF the
region by the British In ls49 He and his sirdars
were as relentless as II was possible for rulers to
be. Men charged with misdeeds were executed
and mutiated on the slightest occasion, with
hardly anything like formal procedure, and ex-
ecutions were constantly In progress all over
the Punjaub. The result was not the proven
ton or suppression OF crime, but Its increase to
such an extent that, at the time OF the British
annexation, the whole population was demora-
ICED. Under British rule, tho executions were
reduced TO very few in the year, and the con-
sequence was the most extraordinary and per-
manent decrease In the prevalence OF crime.
The British enforce their laws most vigorously
IN the PunIaub, but get results different from
those obtained by the remorseless executioner,

InjudiciOus Legislation.

We think the members OF the Assembly
frcm this city should look II little more
carefully into bills that are sent to them,
than they are i'll the habit of doing, before
introducing them. Surely Mr.. ENGLEIIART
can hardly have considered the effect of
an act proposed by him relating to assess
ments for the construction of sewers and
drains in the city of New York. This act
reads as follows:
"sKcTIos /. No assessment heretofore made or i'm
posed - which .ha De- hereafter made or IMPOSE i9r
completed, or which shall hereafter be constructed,
OF any omi-slon of the Common Council OF the city OF
New 0rN TO pas az ORDINANCE OF resolution therefor
g'c0, notice ~ oh-r proceeding relative 10, author
zng any sever or drain for which such assessment
shall have Gten maze Or imposed or for proposals. TO do

10 any act proceeding relating TO such asscsslent
ana L shall be lawful Tor toc ccm.rolcr 10 nsSe adj
yanees ana p;Jmea1s on account 81 ,ny wSIS men
not De vacated, as herein provided"
This act, II passed, would do away with
the necessity of any ordinance or resolu-
ton OF the Common Council providing for
an assessment for the cost OF any sewer or
drain and also with the necessity OF ad-
vertising for proposals TO do the work in
strict compliance with the requirements
of law. In other words, it opens new
and wide door for the introduction OF
frauds.
The facilities for assessing property in
this city arc great enough already. They
should be unfinished rather than increased.
