Mayor Cooper's Mistake.

We think that Mayor Cooper has erred in
making star chamber examination of the
charges preferred by Police Commissioner
Erhardt against his associates in the Police
Board and the management of the depart
ment generally. There is no good reason
why tho people should not know what is
going on or why the public journals should
not be permitted to spread before their
readers to-day all the evidence given
men he produced in the Mayors
private chamber yesterday. An ex-
animation conducted with closed doors
is never satisfactory. The Mayor, it is true,
states that when all the testimony is in and
he has made up his mind what he is going
to do, he will furnish the press with the in
formation. But this is not what the people
expect or desire. They want to know just
what the evidence is as the case proceeds,
so that they may be assured that nothing is
covered up; that there is no secret in
trigue or motive behind the inquiry.
and so that they may be satisfied
that the Mayors decision is just one,
based upon the proofs produced before
him. 1t is doubtful whether the Mayor is
legally entitled to conduct an official pro-
ceeding of this kind after the fashion of the
questionings of Spanish inquisition. But
if he has the legal power to keep the people
in the dark it is unwse to do so. AS the
Police Department is being investigated our
citizens want 10 be assured that the inquiry
is made to cover the street cleaning business
and all other alleged abuses Besides,
something is due to the accused Commits
sioners, and it is against the spirit of our
institutions 10 take secret information
against any one, except in n grand jury
room. Mayor Cooper's integrity of pur-
pose is not questioned, but we cannot see
what necessity there is for secret
examination into this important mat
ter. Secrecy will not further the
ends of justice; will not secure more
prompt action; will not facilitate the in
quiry; will not insure equal justice to all,
and certainly will not satisfy the people.
Mayor Cooper will do well to reconsider his
impolitic decision and to conduct the re-
mainder of his investigation before the eyes
Of the people.

Rents Paid by the city.

Everybody has had some experience of
the fact that the value of things depends
entirely upon whether you want to buy or
sell but only the municipal administra-
ton understands fully how easy it is to
pay enormous rents for every hole
and corner it may occupy in other
peoples property, and how easy it
is to get its own property occupied
and not receive cent for it. In all parts
of the city, nearly, the city owns property,
and its income from it is nominal. Many
lots are leased at the liberal rent of one
cent year. But in all parts of the city,
almost, the city occupies other peoples
premises, and the rent it receives does not
at all balance the rent it pays. Nobody is
so liberal toward the city as the city is to
its tenants for, in fact, as shown in
detailed statement given in to-day S
HERALD, the municipality pays over q quar-
ter ola million dollars in rent for apartments
for whom there is presumably not room
enough in the City Hall. Now this dis
tribution of the departments all over the
city is one of the vices of our system-a
greater evil than the cost of the rent.
1t is the basis of that senti-
ment of complete independence of
everybody else that seems to be Gull
tivated in the departments. All this
should be reformed radically. All parts of
the government should be at or near the
common centre-the City Hail. II there is
not room in the City Hall or the Court
House, room should be made. Naturally
the remedy would be to construct an edifice,
and one could be put up between the Post
Office and the City Hall and stretching
from Broadway to Park row, that would be
adequate but with the experience Of the
Court House yet unforgotten who would
urge that the city should build?

DR.. Hepworth's Resignation.

No more genial minister has ever occu-
pied metropolitan pulpit than the pastor
of the Church of the Disciples. and none
has struggled harder against adverse cir
cumstances to build up permanent society
in New York than he. Cultured and atfable
as Unitarian clergymen usually are, Mr..
Hepworth q few years ago left that denem-
ination, in which he had been reared, and
where he had long ministered, and, having
embraced evangelical views concerning the
Deity and the atonement, determined to
build up church for the people. His first
purpose was to locate somewhere in the
vicinity OF Union square, but in this judy
ment he was overruled by others, who
favored the present site of his church, near
the Grand Central Depot AS property
investment, perhaps, there is none better
in the city, but as permanent enter
prise it was evidently mistake
to have planted the Church Of the
Disciples where it is. A large debt
was incurred, and while the popu-
larity of the pastor draws around
him large congregations on the Sabbath he
is unable, with the pressing financial bur-
dens, to build up strong, permanent
society. He has, therefore, rendered his
resignation. In May he expects to go to
Europe and spend q couple of years in
travel, after which he has not determined
whether to return to the United States or
to settle down on the Continent. But
wherever he goes he will be kindly remem.
bercd by large number Of young men
whom he has gathered into the Church, and
by larger circle of friends whom in his
new UNCONVENTIONAL relations he has drawn
toward him. II will be pity if New York
Congregationalism shall permanently lose
from it's pulpits minister whom it can so
lily spare and we hope that the Disciples
will bestir themselves and pay off their debt
of eighty five thousand dollars and be able
to invite Mr.. Hepworth to return to the
work that he loves, untrammellcd aud free.
His prospective successor is nm able minis
ter in tho Methodist Episcopal Church at
present in this city, in whose hands and
under whose ministry the church will not

ing all damages to property owners on both
sides of the river for the approaches, &C.. is
So 500 900. OF this amount, under the
provision Of the law, New York will have
to pay $50, 600, including the sum
claimed to be now due. If these calculations
are reliable, and the completion Of the work
for this amount can be assured, the question
will arise whether it is worth while to
enter into an expensive litigation and
to suffer the money already invested
to be dead loss, or whether it will
be DETER to pay the balance and to finish
the bridge without further opposition.
This is question for the Legislature to
consider, provided the law of 1876 is judi
cially declared to be exhausted by the ex-
penditure OF the amount claimed to be
contemplated by that law as the limit of
New York's liability. If the expediency of
building the bridge at all was now under
discussion as an original proposition it
might meet with strong opposition, but as
$40, 500, 600 have already been sunk in the
work different issue is presented. At all
events everybody in New York will agree
that there must be a certainty that the
bridge will be completed for the amount of

Looking After the Bridge.

The subcommittee Of the Assembly Com
mittee on Commerce and Navigation has
commenced its investigation Of the Brook
lyn bridge matters. The points to be in
uuired into are whether the bridge will
ipiuriously obstruct navigation; how the
money already expended has been used;
what it will cost to complete the work, and
what will be tho probable effect of the
bridge on the value of property in Brook
lyn and New York. The first inquiry is one
that belongs more properly to the United
States authorities, and MS the original plan
Of the bridge was approved by the
Commission of Engineers and the War De-
partment, and as the question of the alleged
obstruction has been before the United
States Court, it may be regarded as outside
the legitimate scope ofthe committees inves-
tigation. 1t is proper that the other points
should be thoroughly examined. The peo-
pie have n right to know how the money
already used on the work has been ex-
pended, while il is essential that the
amount required to complete the bridge
should be definitely ascertained and that
stringent provision should be made to pre-
vent the total now fixed from being OK
ceeded.
From the testimony of ex-senator Murphy
it appears that so, 500, 900 have been already
sunk in the bridge. and that the total

An interesting conversation with DR.. v.
r., McGillicuddy, printed in the HER,LD
to-day, shows that at least the newly APP
pointed representative of the government
at the Red Cloud Agency has distinct
knowledge of the principal difficulties to
be encountered in the discharge Of the
functions he has undertaken, and an un-
usually accurate perception Of the proper
tionate Importance of these difficulties.
With all an agents duties honestly dis
charged toward the Indians, in SO far as
On agent has freedom Of action, there yet
remains prolific source of irritation and
revolt in the encroachments upon the
Indians rights of property that may be
practised under the eye Of the authorities
and almost with impunity by white outlaws
who cannot be excluded from the reserva-
ton. Against these fellows, in case of depre-
dalton, the Indian has no remedy but to
catch the offender and hand him over to the
agent, who has no remedy but to proceed
against him legaly-a remedy which is like
the Pope's bull against the comet-''prac-
tically imperative" These men, by their
thetts and other crimes, can drive the Ind
ians to revolt, and the troops must suppress
the revolt; so that the function of the army
is virtually to secure tho right of certain
wretches to rob and murder. It is clearly
pointed out by the new agent that an irr-
tation thus excited may become peculiarly
dangerous now that the rush of the
Chcyennes and the operations of Sitting
Bull have demoralizcd the Indians as to
their ancient respect for the army. DR..
McGillicuddy does not hint at his notions
rs to provision against this danger, but he

energy, and will probably get around the
