A Welcome STAIN ont.

The Commissioner of Public Works has
Filth avenue from Fifty ninth to Seventy
second street, and the work will proceed at
once. Proposals were invited some time
ago, but tho opening of the bids was post
poned by order Of the Common Council to
await the action of the bill introduced in
the Legislature creating a commission to
select the pavement to be used. Fortu-
nately the Commissioner is now free to pro-
coed with the work in the manner desired
by the people. 1t is to be hoped that some
way may be found to macadamize the ave.
nue. from Washington square to Fifty-ninth
street. The successful bidder undertakes
to do the work from Fifty-ninth to Seventy
second street ut the rate of about one thou
sand six hundred dollars a block, or twenty
thousand eight hundred and Atty dollars
for the thirteen blocks. From Waverley
place to Fifty-ninth street there are fifty
two blocks, so that to macadamize that por-
ton Of the avenue would at the same rate
cost trife over eghty-three thousand dol
lars. This is an insignificant sum as COM
pared with the importance Of making the
principal, and, it may be said, the only ave-
nue. for pleasure driving through the city,
thoroughly good road. The bids for the
longer distance would, besides, be likely to
be lower than those opened by the Public
Works Department yesterday.

enjoyed by our citizens. No foreign ship
can take freight from one American
port to another American port, and SO far
as we are aware no advocate of change has
ever favored any Infringement of the exist
ing monopoly OF the coasting trade. So
longas only American built ships can ply
between American ports American ship
builders will be sure of large and lucra-
tive business. Our domestic tonnage en-
gagged in the coasting trade is altogether
greater than the whole tonnage, American
and foreign, which is employed in interna-
tional commerce. In the coasting trade no
competition is possible but in the foreign
trade the ships of other nations have
always been as free to bring and carry
freights as our own. We advocate
change in the navigation laws only in
respect to foreign trade. Our foreign trade
is in the hands OF foreign shipowners be-
cause they can use cheap vessels while we
are compelled to employ dear ones. But if
Congress would permit American registers
to be given to ships cheaply purchased
from foreigners, of exclusive and bona Jtide
American ownership, we might speedily
recover, during the great impending war,
all that we lost during our civil war when
American ships were sold to foreigners at
great sacrifice.

count schouvulor's Mission.

Our special cable despatch giving the latest
news from our correspondent at st. Peters
burg indicates the probability that the ne
assuming more pacific phase. This is evil
IDENTIFY due to the representations OF Count
Schouvalotf who has sought to impress on
the Gar the individuality of pressing for
an absolute fulflment of the terms of the
Treaty of San Stefano in the face Of the
British protests and warlike preparations.
But it is clear enough that the Rus
sian government when making conces-
sions to England does not comply
with the wishes Of the Russian
people. A peaceful solution, if reached,
will be the work Of the palace party at st.
Petersburg and will be by no means
popular settlement Of the difficulty. AS onr
despatch announces, general discomfort is
manifested in Russia at the turn
affairs are taking, and the popular
movement is becoming so decided as
to cause considerable uneasiness. The
success of Count Schouvaloffs mission is,
therefore, likely to create as much trouble
for the Russian government as II 1t had
failed. Already speculation is busy with
the altered relations between England and
Russia and is forming anti-Austrian plots
out of the wild suspicious that pervade the
political atmosphere. The growing popular
ity OF Ignatieff, the father Of the San Stefano
Treaty and the strategic dispositions of the
Russian army at Constantinople must sug-
gest to the diplomatists that there are many
moves Of the game yet unplayed. The re-
turn of Count Schouvaloff to London will
probably give the situation more definite
character, if it does not dissipate the war
clouds altogether. The sensational despatch
from Ottawa declaring that the Canadian
Government has been informed that war is
inevitable needs confirmation, but the news
is not inconsistent with the probabilities.

Recorder Hackett's proposition on tho

effect on the Board of Health. Suddenly
the Board has made the discovery that it pos
sesses real and not visionary power only
for the suppression of industries or occupa-
tons that are nuisances and injurious to
the health of the people. Hence it now re-
fuses to grant permits to workers in
bones, fat and shells of the kind
it has hitherto granted freely, and not that
only, but also it has retired and abrogated
many permits hitherto given. Apparently
the courts are determined to sustain the

Captain nowga,o's Colony.

In few days, as reported, Lieutenant
Schwatkas expedition to continue the
search for Sir John Frnnklin's papers will
start for the Arctic regions. AS an expedi-
ton it is wide departure in its scheme and
method from former Arctic expeditions, and
is an experiment involving certain Of tho
points that are to be more fully tried by the
Howgate colony, if the appropriation is
obtained Since there are to be only five
white men in Schwatka's party it is to de-
pend in great part on the cooperation Of
Esquimaux, and will test in some degree the
capability of small party to sustain itself
by. nm adoption of native methods Of life
and supply. Captain Howgates plan is to
try this same theory, but on n more extern
sive scale-for it starts altogether from the
opinion that the white man is not only
the equal of the Esquimau, but his
superior in his own peculiar attri-
butes. All travel, adventure and discovery
hitherto made have resulted certainly in
demonstrating that tho white man Of
European race is superior to oil other races
Of men on their own ground, whether in
Africa or the Arctic circle; but his superb
ority as shown has always been due to his
intelligence, that has enabled him to avoid
the full effect Of the conditions Of life that
bear without qualification on the native.
Dropped in tho Arctic regions and ADAM
doned in great part to the ordinary con-
ditions OF Arctic life without tho inherited
endurance of the people Of the frozen re-
gons, will the white man Of the temperate
zone stand the test? If he does the Howgate
colony scheme will initiate great advance
upon the ordinary plans of Arctic discov-
cry and there will be as much difference
between what is known Of the Arctic circle
and what may be learned by the study of
permanent colonies as there commonly is
between what is known Of the history OF q
family by one who lives in IL and what is
known by one who visits it once a year.
But it is serious question with persons
the most experienced in Polar exploration
whether man can repeat an Arctic winter,
and consequently whether the whole expe-
dition will not have to be renewed every
| wear

The Potter Investigation Committee.

The Potter Investigation Committee.
We do not perceive that Speaker Ran
dall's selection of the members OF the COM
mittee of eleven to investigate the FLORIDA
and Louisiana frauds is exposed to valid
objections, with the single exception OF
General Butler. General Butler is indeed
the ablest and most astute member OF the
committee but, considering his course for
the last two weeks, his appointment as a
republican seems almost farcical. His
leanings and sympathies are supposed
to be against the President, and,
as the republicans are allowed only
four Of the eleven members of the com
mittee, it is something very different from
an exhibition of fairness to place upon the
committee as republican a man who voted
with the democrats in bringing on the in
vestigation. But If General Butler should
regard himself as an attorney retained to
take care of the republican side the fidelity
to clients in which he was never known to
fail will make him a valuable ally OF the re-
publican branch OF the committee. There
are good reasons for believing that the DEM
ocratic case is great deal weaker than has
been represented, and General Butler
is the kind of man to tear the DEM
ocratic case into tatters If there Is
nothing in it. We shall not be surprised
if the democrats find that they have
Caught a Tartar" in procuring his name to
be foisted into the list of Investigators. He
has too much penetration to be blinded or
bamboozled or to have the wool pulled over
his eyes by democratic exaggerations, and,
if the democratic case is as weak as we
think it, Butler is a man who will take
delight in stripping off the mask. He is
the keenest of cross-examincrs, and there
will be little left Of the democratic wit
nesses when they have passed through his
hands if they have nothing to offer but
humbug testimony. Ifhe supports the side
he is appointed to represent the democrats
will rue the day when they urged his selec-
ton.
With the exception of General Butler
there is nothing in the selection of the
committee which calls for much comment
It's inevitable chairman, Mr.. Potter, is
candid and fair-minded gentleman, in
whose honor the country will repose conf
dence We do not believe that his partisan
feelings will stiae his sense Of justice. The
other democratic members of the committee
will be disposed to make out as strong o
case as they can, but if General Butler
should prove true to the side he is sup
posed to represent no undue advantage can
be won by the democratic Investigators. Mr..
Cox, of Ohio, who is also appointed as q
republican, is q just and discreet man, and
his protest against unfair action by the
majority will have more weight than that Of
violent partisan. It is noticeable that
none of the four republican members Of the
committee was member Of the last Con-
gress. None of them, therefore, will have
any fear Of being personally damaged by
the result Of the investigation. If Butler,
in spite of the auspices under which he is
appointed, should prove truo to his own
side, there is little chance that bogus festi-
mony will escape exposure

evening, Professor J. s. Newberry read very inter.
estng paper tho later geological history Of New
York Island and harbor Ito illustrated his subject
with number OF maps showing tho
different channels OF the lower harbor
and OF tho North and East rivers. In the first
portion OF this paper Professor Newberry referred par
tcuiarly TO what Is known In geology the glacial
period, and explained that the rocky formations IN
aud around Now York showed by thor shapes
and hardness that they had been rounded.
what Is known as a real erosion Through tho whole
portion OF New York island can DO found polished
