Another Police Outrage.

Mr.. Robert G. Brown, o we'll known citi-
for the past fifteen years, while riding on
Fourth avenue car few days ago and con-
versing with some friends on the platform
in relation to city reform, expressed the
opinion that the pay of the police ought to
be reduced from twelve hundred to O thou
dered stranger, in citizens dress, interfered
in the conversation and INDUCED in violent
denunciation of Mr.. Brown and his opin-
IONS He was told that he had no right to
take part in q private conversation, and Mr..
Brown, after designating him as q 'loafer,"
left the platform and took seat in the car.
On Monday last Mr.. Brown, while passing
down Broadway, near Blocker street, was
accosted by policeman who asked him his
name, adding you're the fellow who called
me loafer on the cars the other day." Mr..
Brown, recognizing in the stalwart policeman
the man who had thrust himself into his pri-
vate conversation, told him that he wanted
nothing to say to him while in police dress.
The model member of the Broadway squad
followed Mr.. Brown up, abusing him foully,
when the latter suddenly turned, denounced
the fellow as a loafer and told him he would
have his uniform stripped from his back
The model policeman thereupon arrested
MIR. Brown, refused to take him round to
Police Headquarters. and marched him
down Broadway at three o'clock in the after
noon to the Tombs. The Justice heard
the policemans story and instantly dis
charged Mr. Brown, severely reprimanding
the officer.
This outrage ought to be promptly pun
ished. Mr.. Brown owes it to the public to
cause the arrest and trial of the uniformed
ruffian for assault. Meanwhile the Police
Commissioners should at once strip him of
the uniform he disgraces. 1t is by such
brutal characters that the force is brought
| into disrepute.

pists of the Royal Geographical Society for
his vigorous defence of himself and his
party against the ferocious assaults of the
Bambirehs and other savages, we await
the details of his journeyings with
much interest. While satisfying the
curiosity of the farm chair" geographers
and exposing his life in doing so
he has aroused the fabby indig-
nation of that class who subscribe
for toothpicks and tracts for the
dental and mental comfort of the wild
Africans because he taught them that
cannibalism was not recognized as a virtue
by the Caucasian race. To explore the
sources of the Nile and settle the problem
of the Congo needs man of bold and SOL
dierly instincts. These Stanley evidently
possesses. If the truly good members Of the
Royal Geographical Society believe that tho
difficulties of the task can be overcome by
the distribution of tracts and taffy we see no
good reason why they should not go at once
to Ujiji or Uganda and start business as mis-
sionary post traders.

Tn. New Hampshire Election.

AS was anticipated the republican candi-
date for Governor has been chosen, and by
nearly the usual majority. This year the
majority is put at three thousand four hun
dred, and in the last election it was three
thousand six hundred and twenty-eight.
So small variation as two hundred and
twenty-eight on eighty thousand votes
indicates great stability of opinion
and q definite condition of party
lines. In one statement it will be
seen that the difference between the
two elections on eighty towns is only
three votes. In States thinly peopled by in
telligent men of positive convictions, and
possessing no large cities, much variation
in the vote is not to be looked for,
but New Hampshire certainly reduces
the variation to it's minimum. Republi-
can institutions might endure indefi-
nitely in communities like this, with no
Returning Boards to make them afraid.
There is not much room for false counting
when variation of twenty votes on eighty
towns would be change sufficiently great
to excite suspicion. There is a change
against the democrats Of one and probably
two Congressman, as the reelection of Jones
is conceded to be doubtful. This, also, was
looked for, as the possession of two demo-
cratic Congressman against one republican
is anomalous for that community, and was q
result of that revolt against the misconduct
of the republican administration which
swept the whole country two years ago.

Once again the Pope launches against the
Italian government some mild objurgations
touching it's history and origin and relations
to the Church. These declarations do not
seem to hurt the Pope and they certainly do
not hurt Italy. so that there is no reason
why His Holiness should not indulge him
self in this way if it is comfort to him.
Italy, politically considered, was sacrificed
for some centuries to the ecclesiastical sys-
tenn, was the victim of misgovernment
never paralleled in historic times--alI for
the empty honor of having spiritual prince
living within her limits 'govern the world"
by q kind of moral dominion. 1t is doubt
full whether the advantages of that expert
ment were worth the detriment to great
country, and Italy has now determined to
try another plan and govern itself like other
nations. Her endeavors hitherto have been
fruitful in great advantages, and though the
Pope's complaints are natural enough from
his point of view there is no likelihood that
Italy or the world will so far cease to be
controlled by common sense that these COM
plants shall have any practical effect.

Married or Singles

The case of Miss Mary Z. Knox against
Mr.. John A. Merritt is most singular one.
Miss Knox claims Mr.. Merritt as her hus-
band, while Mr.. Merritt repudiates Miss
Knox as his wife. The courts Of Putnam
county believe that the marriage ceremony
was performed which united the two ''for
better or for worse" and 80 require Mr..
Merritt to give bonds for the support of his
alleged wife. The unwilling welded man
prefers to 60 to Jail on principle, and thus
ut present the matter stands. We pity Miss
Knox. She is the sufferer any way. If she
is really married it does not do her any good
to have her husband locked up in prison.
If she is not married, but only mistaken,
she can get neither comfort nor support
through the incarceration of the man to
whom she lays claim. So, while the case
seems hard one for the defendant, if he is
actually q bachelor it is still harder for the
amiable Miss Knox, who is either dis
carded bride, an astonishingly mistaken
spinster or a disappointed matrimonial
Spectator. Miss Knox, for nor pcrsever.
ance. deserves husband OF merit, even il
she should fail to get this particular Merritt
for her husband

The HERALD is in constant receipt of let
ters from persons who wish it to defend
their own rights or to censure the wrong
doing of others. Journalism has the power
to remedy many evils which cannot be cor
rected by ordinary tribunals, and our col
umns are always open to complaints in
which the public is properly interested.
One of the letters we print to-day is CON-
plant against the HERALD itself, and we
willingly give it place. But to print all the
letters we receive would be impossible, for
the Complaint Book is not meant to be a
place for idle charges or frivolous replies.
A case in point is letter we received the
other day, purporting to be from washer
woman, accusing prominent citizen
with bilking her of her bill. Sew
eral collars cuffs, false bosoms and
handkerchiefs were included in this in
ventory, and it was pleasing to know that
the prominent citizen was as careful of his
linen as of his money. But how could we
publish this dreadful letter? How could
we be sure that it was not written by per-
sonal enemy of the person mentioned for
the purpose Of making him the object Of
public scorn or ridicule? The washerwo-
man may have had q clean bill, but it was
clearly not our business to collect it. Scores
of other cases of this kind might be quoted,
if necessary, but it is sufficient to say that
our Complaint Book is only open to those
who have something to say which is of
interest to the community and who say it in
proper way. 1t is for the redress Of pub
lie offences and not OF private grievances.

Another Tax on Our Commerce Re-
moved

Final judgment has just been rendered by
the Supreme Court of the United States in
an important case of the Captain of the Port
of New York against the Inman Steamship
Company. BY the law of the State the Cap
tain of the Port and the harbor masters are
clothed with the authority and duty to reg
ulate the movements of shipping in the har-
Dor and are entitled to remuneration from
fees to be collected by the Captain of the
Port. These fees are assessed on the ton
mage measurement of the ships as o
means of making tho charge proportionate
to the size of the vessel. Regarding the
imposition of this charge as an invasion of
the immunity from such charges guaranteed
by the constitution of the United States the
Inman Company has resisted it in the courts
and gained its case before the Circuit
Judge, and now before the Supreme Bench,
where i. is held that the provision of the
constitution which forbids any State to inn
pose any tonnage dues is violated by the
charges made, and that therefore chose
charges arc unlawful.

The Retirement OF . Veteran Poll
tician.

tician.
Yesterday the republican members of the
Pennsylvania Legislature unanimously nom-
mated J. Donald Cameron, ex-Secretary Of
War, as Senator of the United States, and
this vote is equivalent to an election. Simon
Cameron resigned the Senatorship for rea-
sons which the HERALD has already stated,
and will be succeeded by his son, man of
extraordinary Abilities especially in an ex-
ecutive capacity. The son has the future,
but the father possesses the past.
Senator Cameron will remain one of
the historical figures of America. Like
many other distinguished men-Lincoln.
Chase, Stanton, Grant, johnson and
Wilson-his star rose in obscurity and
was originally printer, and by the force
of intellect and will created for himself
a place in the annals of his country. More
than thirty years have passed since he entered
public life as politician, and, although the
object of perpetual attack, MIR. Cameron has
never been defeated by foe and has never
forgotten friend. In Congress he was
the contemporary of Webster, Clay, Cal
houn. Hale and many other distinguished
men. During the war he performed important
services both in the Cabinet and Senate and
afterward had the honor of succeeding
Charles Sumner as chairman Of the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs. Mr.. Cameron
might well say of the most critical period of
our history that it was one 'all of which
saw and part Of which was" He now be-
queaths his power and influence to his son,
and those who object to such an inheritance
should remember that the fact that Cam
eron should succeed Cameron in the Senate
is no more opposed to American ideas than
that Vanderbilt should follow Vanderbilt
in railroad company, Peel Peel in an
English Ministry or John Quincy Adams
John Adams in the Presidency of the United
States. The Camerons are and will remain
a power, not only in the politics of Penn
sylvania, but in those of the nation, and
whatever objection may be made to their
policy their patriotism must be admitted.
Senator Cameron has resigned two years
before his term of Office expired, and,
although he probably did not do
this without the knowledge that his
son would succeed him, the example is rare.
The affection between the father and son is
exceptional, and the new Senator will no
doubt receive counsel from the Nestor of
the Senate. Of Senator Cameron it cannot
be said, 'Superfuous lags the veteran on
the stage;' for he resigns in the maturity of
his political and intellectual power, and is
followed into his retirement with the con-
fidence of his party and the respect of the
majority of his countrymen.

Judgment and of practical views. The enor-

judgment and of practical views The enor-
nous fortune he created is proof OF his
competency to manage his own affairs and
of his freedom from the control or infu-
ence of others His will was based ON the
principles which had guided his remarkable
life and led him to such wonderful success.
BY what means this fortunate settlement
was brought about is question in which
the public has no concern. Mr.. William H..
Vanderbilt is of a generous disposition and
has great wealth at his disposal but GER
tainly contest would only have had one
result. sThe legal will of man like the late
Commodore could not have been set aside
by the courts.

1t seems to be finally decided by the
Boards of Health and Police that Little He'll
Gate is to be filed with city garbage. A
really useful project is to become source
of danger to the public health. What could
be made an important improvement is to be
recklessly converted into dangerous nui-
sance. When we find that the authorities
having charge of the Health Department and
the Street Cleaning Bureau are conspiring
against the general welfare of the commu-
nifty and the interest of property owners
in the upper end of the city it is time to
sound note of warming and battle against
the iniquity before it becomes too great for
prevention and beyond the reach of remedy.
Professor Chandler states that garbage when
covered by water will not be offensive or
dangerous That opinion may be based on
the laws of chemistry and physics, as under
stood by the President Of the Health Board,
but it is contrary to common sense.
Unless the officials intend to provide strings
and cobble stones for sinking the dead cats
and dogs to the lower depths, where the ON
niverous eel and lobster can hold high fes-
tival on the remains, we do not see how the
garbage, offal and refuse can be sunk under
water Therefore we solemnly protest in
the name of the people of New York against
the creation of nuisance at Little He'll
Gate. We demand that the whole project of
filing up that channel be abandoned at
once, because we do not believe that an
honest effort will be made to do it properly.
With hot summer approaching and too
many causes of pestilence already surround
ing us in the form of dirty streets and bad
sewerage, ill-ventilated dwellings and over
crowded jewellers therein. it is monstrous
outrage to deliberately contemplate the
creation of nuisance that may develop in
our midst oil the horrors of cholera
epidemic.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1877-03-14

Although the plan of making one Commits
sioner the head of each commission in the
city government and dispensing with the
services Of the others has many obvious ex-
cellences to commend it to the Legislature
we do not see the advantage of its applica-
ton to the commission that has constructed
and now governs and keeps up the parks.
There is one important fact in regard to the
Park Commission that puts it Immediately
in category by itself-separates it COM
pletely from all the other commits
sions. These gentlemen receive no
salary. To diminish their number is,
therefore, not even to economize the
city's treasure to the extent even of two or
three salaries, while the fact that they serve
the city gratuitously will make it at least
ungracious to require, as we fairly might of
paid officers, That one shall take upon HIM
self the duties now performed by several.
At the same time it is not desirable to sub
stitute paid for unpaid officials in this post !;
for all can see the advantage of having the
parks cared for by the liberal men of Gull
ture who are pleased to serve for honorary
considerations. Perhaps for the sake Of
unity in the administration of the streets it
is we'll to give them entirely to the Board Of
Public Works, but otherwise we believe the
Charter bill would be the better if changed
so as to leave the Park Commission as it
nov stands.
