Senator HOwc's personal explanation sets at
rest the stories that have been set afloat of an
arrangement whereby other Senators were to
follow him at impressive intervals, firing off
heavy guns at the Administration, and of its
failure because the alleged heavy guns refused
to go of. 1t ought to set at rest also the
charge that Senator Howe was influenced by
his chagriu at not receiving an appointment to
the Supreme bench. lie seems to dispose of
that completely. The rest of the explanation
is simply Il defence of his right as Il Senator
to make speeches-a defence quite as mneces-
sary as the speech itself was.
New-York tribune., 1878-04-17

Senator Pomeroy has materially amended and
materially improved what is known as the
Public Burdens Bill Full authority to reduce
salaries is given to the Board of Estimate and
ApportiOnment, as in the original bill passed
by the Assembly. but the board has less room
to turn itself about in. Under the Assembly
bill, requiring simply a reduction of $4,000
900 in the taxes, the salaries might have been
spared large proportion of the dininution
proposed by counting in, for instance, the con-
siderable reduction in the city's taxes which
will result from the reduction in the State
debt, and by various ways of shufilng the
municipal accounts. The new bill, however,
prescribes that there shall be a reduction Of
20 per cent in the aggregate of salaries-a
provision which the cleverest bookkeeping
cannot evade; it also hastens the day OF
economy by putting forward the date of the
reduction one year. The provision which
gives the Board of Education control over its
own funds will doubtless be stOutly resisted
by the Board of Estimate and AppOTtlOnment,
but the principle is one that the best sense of
the city has always approved

DR.. Hayes's bill for giving the Superintend-
cnt of Public Works power to purchase sup
plies for the canals and in other ways to in
troduce business methods into their manage
ment, was ordered to a third reading i'll the
Assembly, yesterday. The Assembly wisely
refused to permit the payments of money to
be under the control of the purchaser of sup
plies Mr.. AIvord's speech was a plain and
sensible statement Of the folly Of such a com
binaton of conflicting functions, and seems
to have convinced his audience.
New-York tribune., 1878-04-17

There was a little discussion yesterday in
Congress of the ethics of The Record Mr..
Wood being called to account for suppress
ing Mr.. Conger's comments on letter read
during Mr.. Woods speech on the Tariff Bill,
tried to excuse himself by declaring that the
letter had been lost, and nothing remained
but to eliminate the remarks made upon it,
1t certainly would have been in better ac-
cord with the principles that should govern
the publication of The Record if the sub
stance, at least of the lost letter had been
Indicated, and Mr.. COnger allowed his say.
The incident is of Importance as showing the
freedom with what is supposed to be correct
report of the proceedings of Congress, is mod
fled when members wish. We commend to
Mr.. Wood Mr.. Blaine's statement IN the
other house that in sixteen years service in
Congress he had never altered, except for
some triding error line of his speeches
much less suppressed another mans.

The passive policy, now broachcd with a
show of authority at London, may suit Eng
land, and be embarrassing to Russia, which is
now ANXIOUS to enjoy a season of repose. But
if Russia is thus forced to act on the defen-
sive, she will be certain to tighten her grasp
on Turkey, and take steps to carry every
article of the San StefanO Treaty into practical
effect. Entrcnched in this way, she can afford
to wait as long as England for the final set

The Postmaster here Is unwilling That we
should verify these figures from his records,
as to the other papers, without their consent;
but as the figures all reached US from the
same source, and as those relating to our own
business are correct, we have no doubt that
the rest are also. We shall gladly unite,
page papers in a formal request to Postmaster
James for transcript in detail from his books.
In estimating the significance of these fig
ures, it must be remembered that they repre-
sent the weight of seven daily issues of the
