UUUIN RECKLFSSNESS.

Unless it is greatly DETAINED, there is
danger that the tenement-hOuse NO. Io3
Park-place will tumble down. One week
since the Chief Inspector in the Building De-
partment warned the tenants to leave, ana
explained to them the great peril IN when
they were living with the North River tide
flowing under them, with the partitions
panIy saeced and the walls evidently inse-
cure. Singularly enough, these poor people
argued the matter with the Inspector They
would, if they left upon such warning, oe
responsible for months rent 80 they
stayed. Nothing less than the Intervention OF
the police could drive them out. If the build
ing continues TO settle they will be so driven
out-pOt otherwise.
This incident illustrates rather forcibly the
risks which almost everybody is willing to run
rather than be put to a little inconvenience
and expense. OF more than half the dreadful
accidents, rs we call them, by land and by
sea, fair warning is vOuchsafed to those I'M
mediately imperied, with what result we need

to this is the squalid and unhealthy way i'll

told over and over again that filth brings

would be heartiess to sncer at this exhibition
Of human folly and ignorance, but there is 10
harm in saying that it is very melancholy.
Inspectors and overseers and surveyors and
health boards must continue to fight their des-
pcrate fight. The world does advance per-

Our friend Beebe has lost no time in denying tho
charges against his honor to which we reluctantly
referred last week. He informs us III telegraphIc
communication printed in to-day's TRIBUNE, that
he has taken prompt measures to compel uii IN
vestigation," and meanwhile he has submitted the
case to the editor of The Liberty Regisie who, after
careful examination of documents, &c, prcnounces
a verdict of acquittai. In this verdict we have 10
doubt 1t would be the pride and pleasure of the
American people to concur if they had tho same op-
nortunities that have been granted to The Liberty
REGISTER.

The thirty days limit after the adjournment
of the Legislature having expired, 1T Is evil
dent that all the remaining New-York bills of
Importance have suffered the same fate as the
Omnibus bill. The WoOdin Charter, the bill
reducing the salary of the Commissioners OF
Jurors, and the bin recognizing the Coro-
ners' Office have all failed to receive Gov.
Robinson's signature. Regret at this is
sue of the sessions work will be tenn
pered by the reelection that while these
bills would have effected changes for the better,
Gov. Robinson was hardly likely to grant re-
forms devised to affect mainly his own party
But his failure to approve the bill making the
Public Schools independent is an omission
OF far different kind. This measure
was framed without any partisan intent,
and was simply designed to effect needed
reformation in the method of appropriating
moneys for the public schools. All the parti-
sanship was in Tammany's opposition to the
bill, and in Mr.. John Kelly's extraordinary
order to the Governor not to sign it, which
he has obeyed. The day may come when he
viii regret 1.-THE only other bill OF import
ance which las failed is that comprising the
nine supplementary chapters of the new
Code which do not, however, necessarily
form part of the Code which goes into opera
ton Sept. l. OF the measures which Gov.
Robinson has signed, the most important are
Senator Gerard's bill for the sale of the
lateral canals and Mr. Bradley's hill reducing
Brooklyn salaries.--One thing is perhaps worthy
of mention, that all the labor ON New 1ork
bills this year hiss gone for nothing. There is
practically no New-Ycrk legislation, and there
will be none worthy Of thorough respect until
New York has the work in its own hands.

The exact truth seems to have been reached
at last in the matter of Chief-Justice Waite

the popular notion that the manners OF the

Now that Indian h0stiliiies have broken out
afresh in the Northwest, every day bringIn2
applications for troops, and the Rio Grande Is
in constant need of guardians, the hotheads
who proposed not long ago to abolish the
army because few companies were used in
bracing up Packard and Chamberlain arc
likely to return 20 Washington, as our
dispatches show, in a calmcr mood. In
fact, when the immense extent OF our
territory and the number Of hostile Indians
are considered, the wonder is not that We need
so large an army bat that we get along with
one so small Az it is, the Government, which
keeps the Indians well armed, is often unable
to protect its own citizens against them.

"Riflemen, form !" is TO be the order for the
next two months, as the contest in September
between British and American teams will be
of the closest. The action of the National
Rife Association has made it certain that all the
Iong-range rifle clubs in this country will have
the chance of participating in the competitive
trials for the selection of a team. II may prove
q harder trial for some of our Ncw-YorS
marksmen to hold their own against competl-
tors from the rest of the United States, than
1t did in their contest with foreign teams.
But if our representative team is thereby
made stronger, the English riflemen will have
q harder Job than did the Scotch and Irish.
Children in crowded tenement houses have
long contributed the largest share to the bills of
mortality in the hot Summer months, but this
fact. though long suspected, has been only in re-
cent wears determined by statistics. Effective
means are at hand for reducing this mortality by
giving the little ones a chance to breathe ficsb
air occasionally. The appropriation asked for
by the Board of Health will enable our physi-
eians to do much toward keeping down dis
ease in the poor and crowded districts Of the

The French Republicans are fighting their
battle with the migltiest of moral weapons.
They have cool heads, calm and confident
snirits, and a keen intelligence which knows
bow TO turn all the strong points of
the situation to the best advantage.
Their latest movement Is TO resolve
to nominate no one against the RepuD-
lican Deputies who were in the Assent
bly, which MacNlahon has dissolved but to en-
deavor to return them to the Assembly in a
body. This is making skillful use OF the in
dicnation excited among the people by the
monarchical conspiracy, and the success OF the
plan would be the strongest possible answer
the country could make to Il usurping Ex-
