To the City Editor of the Dallas Herald:
in answer to an article In this morn
ing's paper, as to why do not enforce
the sidewalk ordinance on Elm street,
would say that the ordinance is mop
erative against non-residents, and can
not well be enforced against residents.
unless they feel disposed to meet me
half way In an effort to improve the
streets and sidewalks.
The writer of the communication
above referred to Is a property holder
on Elm street, and has no sidewalk In
front Of his own property, except such
as had made by the strte ct gang, and
none of his neighbors seem disposed to
do any better.
/ must say, / never In my life saw
such an indisposition to do q little
work to improve private property as
in Daiias. Ihave given written and
personal notice to many of our prinoi.
pal citizens and property holders as to
sidewalks, aud without avail.
The city is not able to do this work
and take the chances of collecting it
off the property, under the present de.
ficient system Of tax collection, ard If
the citizens do not make the sidewalks,
each In front of his own property,
then we must all walk In mud In wet
weather. Respectfully,
w NJ. JOHNSON,
Street Commissioner.

The TWEED SuIT.-rhe proceedings in
the six million dollar suit against Tweed
came to an end, as far as the jury trial was
concerned, at New York, on Wednesday,
with the rendering of a verdict in favor of
the people for four million seven hundred
and nineteen thousand nine hundred and
forty dollars and thirty-fve cents, with an
interest amounting to one million eight hun
dred aud seventeen thousand one hundred
and seventy-seven dollars and three cents,
making altogether the sum of six million
five hundred aud thirty-seven thousand one
hundred and seventeen dollars and thirty
eight cents, or about two-thirds Of the
amount sued for. David Dudley Field, OF

LAUNDERING PARTIsANs.-The demo
cratic management OF the Belknap impeach-
ment has been so laundering, through their
eagerness for partisan effect, that the Demo
cratic Judiciary Committee was obliged to
report last week that it could not go ION with
out more evidence What a commentary
upon the precipitate, needless, ill-considered
manner in which the majority have acted
They procure proof the Secretary's corrup-
ton they hurry into the House to demand
his impeachment the House unanimously
votes it, and instructs the committee to pre-
pare the case upon which the impeachment
has been ordered and the committee is
compelled to come in and report that, with
out more evidence, it can't make out a case
which will stand. OF course, this failure is
because the committee allowed Marsh, the
only witness, to run away. And II is con
elusive proof that for his escape the commit
tee is wholly responsible. 1t was entirely
upon his evidence that the committee pro-
posed impeachment inflow, then, did it ex-
pect Impeachment to succeed without keep
ing him as a witness And how can it be
excused for letting him goY Then, while
the attempt is made to charge the response
bility for the escape of Marsh upon the AID
ministration, the democratic committee IT,
self proves the falsity Of the accusation, and
demonstrates its own responsibility for the
escape by confessing that, in allowing him
to g. away, it neglected the essential means
for prosecution. The democratic zeal to
turn the matter to party account is greater
than their thought of justice, and leads them
into perpetual blunders.

Repeal Of the Bankrnpt LAW.

The hasty passage Of bill by the House
Of Representatives to repeal the bankrupt
law has drawn out expressions Of opinion
from many commercial centers, where the
operations Of the law are chiefly felt. Re
Gently the subject was considered by the
Chamber Of Commerce, Of New York city,
when Elliott c. Cowdu offered resolutions
against the repeal Of the law, hut in favor Of
amending it. The resolutions state /" that
the repeal Of the existing bankrupt law
would be highly detrimental TO the best in
terests Of business men Of all classes, whether
debtors or creditors, throughout the entire
country; that the Chamber of Commerce
believe these interests will be better pro-
by its total repeal that to be compelled, by
the repeal Of the national bankrupt law, to
recur to the thrty-seven different and con
flicting systems of bankruptcy existing un-
der state laws, thereby reviving the sharp
practices of attachments, assignments, and
the preference of creditors, would be most
unwise AID highly prejudicial to the best in
terests of the business community through
out the Union that, in the opinion of that
Chamber, it is the duty Of Congress to SO
modify the present law, in the light of the
experience Of the past eight years Of its OPP
Grafton, as to prevent as far as possible ex.
istng abuses under it, 10y adopting more
stringent measures for the treatment of dis
honest debtors, by extending the time within
which criminal prosecutions for obtaining
credit under false representations may be
brought, and executions, sales, transfers,
mortgages and preferential judgments may
be contested, thereby rendering the system
more in consonance with the interests of
honest men, whether debtors or creditors"
These resolutions were adopted Similar
expressions upon this subject have been
made by other cities and it is clearly the
sentiment of the class of people most inter
ested in the bankrupt law, that it should
not be repealed, but so modified as to be-
come more efficient in securing an equita-
BILE distribution Of the assets of baukrupts
among their creditors.

so long as the appointment Of the postmas-

government is given to the politicians, so
long as the President abdicates his rcspon-

United States government will have a Con
