Alderman Morris yesterday offered reso-
luton at the meeting of the Aldermanic
Board directing the Committee on Fire
aud Building Departments to make
full and thorough examination of
the transactions of the Building
Department from January l., 1875, to
the present time and also resolution re-
questing the Mayor to have the accounts of
the same department investigated by the
Commissioners of Accounts. Both resolu-
tons were referred to the COMMITTEES on
Fire and Building Departments. The
proposed Investigations ought to be
made. Charges of neglect of duty
and of incapacity have been brought
ut various times against the depart
ment, and it is as much in justice to the
Superintendent Of Buildings us 10 the pub
lie that an inquiry into their truth should
be ordered 1t the department is properly,
efficiently and economically managed its
officers will be well pleased to encourage
and aid an investigation. Ii, on the other
hand, the important duties assigned to the
Building Department duties on the faith

safety of life and property in the city
largely depends--are neglected or incapa-
bly, performed, then the public should be
informed Of the fact and change in the
administration should be promptly secured.

On Sunday last, in an affray on board an
excursion barge, one of the parties drew o
pistol, placed it against another mans
body and fired. The shooting took place
while the barge was made fast to the dock
at Pleasant Valley, on the Hudson but the
wounded man was brought to New York
and his assailant was arrested in Brook, N.
The assassin was brought to New York to
be identified by his victim and was offered
to the custody of the New York police.
But the new York police do not want him,
as they have no charge against him, and
the Brooklyn police say that as the crime
was not committed in Kings county it is
not within their province to hold him. 1t
is evident, therefore, that if the police had
their way the ruffian might enjoy an oppor-
tunity to escape; but Brooklyn police
justice wisely determines that he shall be
held in custody ct all hazards until it is
ascertained where he can be properly

Imp urtaut. IL True.

From San Antonio comes news that the
Diaz forces have captured the Lerdisto
General Escobsdo. Ii this proves true it
may be an important event for the Mexican
government. Escobedo is an active and
able man, who has been busy without cessa-
ton for more than year in revolutionary
attempts against the established govern
ment of his country. l. lst summer he was
arrested in Texas for breach OF neutral
ity in preparing to levy war against
his own countrymen from within
our territory Being released on bail he
has since prosecuted his attempts in the
Mexican border States. Ii an American
military man should attempt to attack and
subvert our government we should call it
revolution and treason, and should deal
severely with him il we caught him. If
Diaz should now hang Escobedo this
would probably warn other Adventures
and revoiutionists that they had better keep
quiet. But it may be that he has not yet
caught him. AS they say in the far West,
doubtful things are very uncertain"

East ST. Louis bears the same relation to
st. Louis that Jersey City does to New
York. Separated only by the Mississippi
from st. Louis, it is in another State, just
as our suburb across the North River is
under u different State government from
that which rules this city. Through East
st. Louis, as through Jersey City,
pass number of railroads whose
termini are in the great city on
which the suburb depends for existence.
The Mayor of East st. Louis, who appears
to have the citizens certainly to the extent
OF five hundred Of mob-on his side, OBJ
jects to having his little town promiscu-
ously gridironed with railroads. Two Illi-
nois courts have agreed with him, and the
matter is now before the Supreme Court Of
his State for final decision. East st. Louis
is, however, prey to faction, as the story
of last months battle testifes. There are
rival city governments, and the opponents
of Mayor Bowman passed an ordinance
recently permitting the legally enJoined
railroad to run its tracks down the main
street to connect with the Mississippi
bridge. On this himsy authority the Illi-
nois and ST. Louis Railroad Company
undertook yesterday to lay the obnoxious
track, with the disastrous results to the
track detailed in our special dispatches.
The railroad people set two hundred
men, protected by thirty armed janis
saries, to work. The townspeople,
headed by the Mayor, opposed them,
and, after a riotous scene, worthy
Of Mexican border town, the track was
torn up and destroyed, several persons
being badly bruised, but nothing more
deadly happening. This event is disgrace
full to all concerned in it, but as the infor-
nation reaches us theirailroad company ap-
pears completely in the wrong. Whether
the centring railroads are to be "bunched
together" as the Mayor expresses it, or
whether the town is to be grdironed is
matter for the courts to decide. A per-
petual injunction, the legality of which is
before the highest court in the State for final
adjudication, should restrain even those
masters of courts and legislatures, the rail-
road corporations. They receive valuable
privileges and confer undoubted benefits
on the population in return, but, all the
same, there is n limit to their powers. No
petty towns interest would probably be
long weighed against the necessities of
great city, but there are generally many
ways OF running railroad to certain
point, and if the law declares that it must
not be run in such way as to send the
locomotives laundering down the main
street of town on the level the law ought
to be respected.

Like the sea after q storm there is a
setting down furry throughout Europe
after the war and it's treaties. Bosnia is
furried over the coming Austrian occupa-
ton; Italy is Hurried over Austria's gain
and its own unsatisfed desires; there
Is furry in Armenia, and Batoum
is lively with the prospect of little fight
between Russians and Lazis; France has its
Hurried wavelets of pique Mt England's
coup in Cyprus, and England has its
little hurries- unpleasant ones over bit
ter debate to come, and pleasant ones over
its new possession and the garters for
Lords Beaconsfeld and Salisbury. They
will probably all settle down to calm in a
few weeks, although treaties and conven-
tions are not perpetual injunctions on the
storms that gather for the undoing of the
settlements by sword and pen which
statesmen are SO fond Of calling deiini-
tive. The Italian agitation is the
furry that at present calls most
for remark. 1t demonstrates the longing of
the Italian people for that racial complete
ness which was the essence of the policy of
Cavour and the programme of Mazzini. 1t

This trait, which belongs to active war, he

met many disagreeable surprises thereby.
Finally he speaks about his Presidential
career; thinks the second term was ''almost
his due, because he had been bitterly OPP
posed; but relates that he refused peremp-
torily third nomination which was urged
upon him, and on the sensible ground
that the contest would belittle him; that
if reelected it would have been only
against strong opposition, and his admin
istration Of a third term would have been
unsatisfactory. In this he is doubtless
wise and right.
