The British Mission.

The Erening Post gives currency to ru-
NOR from Washington that President Hayes
desires Secretary Evarts to accept the Brit
sh mission, which, of course, would vacate
his seat in the Cabinet The evil minded
naturally will infer that the mysterious de-
lay in appointing q Minister to London
means that Secretary Evarts is reluctant o
comply with the Presidents desires. We
do not undertake to say that either this in
ference or the rumor itself is justified by
facts. We mention them only as proofs of
the impolicy of leaving Mr.. Wesh's place
so long untitled. If they aro unpleasant to
Secretary Evarts he himself is chiefly to
blame for their existence, for he should
have insisted upon the appointment of Mr.
Welsh's successor long ago, nor should he
suffer our Legation at St. Petersburg to drift
along without a Minister. 1t is impossible
for two such conspicuous and ornamental
places to lie empty month after month with
out giving occasion for multitude OF un-
complimentary rumors.

The story of the Floods.

Rarely has the cable brought us more
thrilling story than that contained in our
special despatch about the floods in south
eastern Spain. The story is a terribly sad one,
and yet it gives us pictures from only single
city so suddenly overwhelmed by disaster.
These are the only details, however, that
have reached London. The devastation
has extended over so wide district,
has so completely destroyed the means
OF communication and locomotion, that
it will take yet several days before
gathered of the misery that has over
taken the yesterday smiling districts OF
o most fruitful portion OF Spain. Hans
Christian Andersen paints the valleys
along the coast in enthusiastic colors.
"Beiore u.s. he wrote, sin the centre
of this large fruit garden, we beheld
Murcia the slender spire of the cathedral
lowered far above the other buildings, as
if it were standing up to bid us welcome"
1t is a charmed land that the Danish poet
describes F; but looking beyond it, toward
the mountains, the poet shudders. Travel
ling from Elche TO M urcia he says =
''The dark, naked hills seemed to recede
more and more toward the HORIZON" Leav-
ing Murcia toward Cartagena he says -
For the first hour or so we drove through
the fertile campagnn, but this pleasure was
soon over : the country became stony and
burned up all around was waste. weari-
some to the eye and deserted by human
beings" This gives us AN excellent idea
of the country, It's delicious valleys and
its dark stony mountains-the cause, as we
pointed out yesterday, OF the Ca
lamity. Denuded OF their forests, they
can no longer retain the excessive
rains, which consequently overflow
the plains and valleys below. This
theory of the value of forests as pre-
ventives of floods and foundations is not
disproven by the story Of the Jamaica
floods. The hills around Kingston are
covered with luxuriant forests, and the
disaster there is doubtless much less in
extent than it would have been if
the hills had been denuded of
their natural covering. The peasants
there knew of the danger and persisted in
the attempt to cross the swollen streams.
The Spanish story is terrible one and
warning to governments who do not
study the influence OF forests upon climate
and in preventing foundations and such
catastrophes as that recorded in our cable
despatch. The ancients wero not so foolish
when they allotted the groves and woods as
dwelling places for gods and goddesses.
Schiller has beautiful idea in '.Williana
Tell" The boy Walther asks the famous
marksman, Father, list true that on the
mountains yonder the trees do bleed when
they are struck by the cruel axe?" And
Tell replies -
The trees sacred. and the avalanche
Had long ago our Atdorf surely buried
Beneath its weight had not the forest stood
Up yonder like faithful sentinel.

Napoleon III. and the South.

Some interesting particulars of negotia-
ton that is just now attracting attention
are given in an interview with Mr.. Thurlow
Weed, which we publish to-day. Mr.. Weed
tells very directly the story of his visit to
Paris in the early days of the war and of
what he did with the assistance of a
Frenchman we'll disposed toward this
country in changing. as he believes, the
intention Of the Emperor Of France at the
time he was disposed to commit himself to
an official declaration against us which
would probably have been only prelimi-
nary to declaration Of war. If any infu-
ence was thus brought to bear upon
the Emperor's mind it was through
the Duke de Morny, and apparently by
the use Of an argument which put in a new
light the obstruction of the harbor Of
Charleston. 1t has been generally believed
hitherto that Napoleon III. was, as between
England and France, the active spirit in
pushing steps against our cause, and if lie
was, the case of Charleston was only a pre-
text and he not did care button for con-
sistency or precedent SO far as these may
have stood in his way. If, therefore. the
purposes of our enemies in Europe were
changed by consideration of precedent
which showed that England had once re-
CURED the destruction OF great French
harbor, that argument must have been used
as against English urgency that the Powers
should act ON the pretext of Charleston.

City Debt.

city Debt.
Mr.. William H. Morrell, taxpayer,
writes a letter, which we print elsewhere,
complaining that Comptroller Kelly neg
lects to reconcile certain discrepancies to
the amount of several millions of dollars,
which are apparent in the official state
ments of the city debt The complaint in
respect to time is just one. We are conf
dent, as we said when Mr.. Morrell's charges
first were preferred, that Mr.. Kelly will be
able to explain them away. But he should
not delay to do SO. Perhaps it is inconven-
lent for him to give the attention needful
for the purpose when he is busy managing
the local Tammany conventions, and per.
haps there was intention of annoyance on Mr.
Morrell's part in putting his troublesome
questions just at the moment he did. New
ertheless, as a salaried municipal officer,
sworn to faithful SERVICE the obligation of
Mr.. Kelly to the taxpayers and bondholders
is superior to any of his volunteer relations
to Tammany politics. II he will not do the
Comptroller's duties he should resign the
Comptroller's Office. It is not reasonable to
expect him to accept Mr.. Morrells melo-
dramatic challenge to an oral debate, but it
is perfectly reasonable to ask him to explain
in writing. upon the demand of any tax.

between two sets of official figures, and tho

There is enough room on New York island
to supply homes Tor twice. perhaps three
times, the present population OF the city !;
there are lines OF steam railways actually
constructed or in course of construction
which will put every part of the city in rapid
and easy communication with every other
part, thus solving the question of passenger
transportation more completely than it is
solved in any other great city i'll the world I;
there is great and constant demand Tor
houses and consequently public ready to
reward any judicious expenditure in build
ing upon which capitalists may venture.
All this should very naturally stimulate
the growth of the city in the unoccupied
regions. But there is mistaken greed Tor
gain that seems to impede this growth just
now. Nobody will put up houses which
can be let at rates fairly within the
reach of men Of moderate income. 1t is
"A fine thing in an architectural sense to
have only splendid and costly houses in
city, and people have good opinion of
city property when they assume that a city
lot is worth too much to put mean house
on it. But the construction Of splendid
houses is likely TO be overdone; for splen-
did houses imply splendid rents, and the
splendid rents will surely more than men,
tralze all the good that has been done by
rapid transit, and will end one OF these
days in repeopling of the sandy flats of
Long Island and the picturesque wilds Of
New Jersey with city people banished by
the greed of city landlords.
