ANOTHER meeting Of the City Coun.
Gil has passed without taking action
upon the question Of . road to the
Delaware. 1t is evident that the pro-
pitious time for operating upon such
an improvement is fast passing away.
It is now within about three weeks Of
midsummer, and the best season for
such work will soon have passed.
There is, therefore, no prospect for
the completion Of wharf in time for
! the summer traffic. 1t is true that a
great number Of gentlemen favor the
project; but it is equally true that to
make such an enterprise success as
the work of the city, it should have
almost unanimous concurrence but
instead 1t seems that q powerful op-
position to it has been developed.
Against individual efforts this oppo-
sition would of course amount to. lit
tie; but against the eity's engaging in
tho work of constructing road or
street and wharf, it becomes formida-
BILE, Notwithstanding streets with
piers and wharves at their ends seem
to be considered legitimate work for
citiesin other places.

A MouRrFUL illustration Of the
cruel wrong which Is done by spread
ing broadcast the delusion that per-
sons in the last stages of consumption
can be cured by . change OF climate,
is furnished by this years experiences
in the Adirondacks. The number OF
victims this season to an exaggerated
belief In the curative properties of the
Adirondack region has been unprece-
dented. Sixteen persons during the
present month have died in the woods
or On route, and their bodies have
been carried back through Plattsburg.
All these died in want of the comforts
and consultations which have sur
rounded th,m at home, and in many
instances, no doubt, death was hasten
ID by fatigue, deprivation, and home-
sickness. And still The mournful pro.
cession to the woods goes on, and stll
people are found, well meaning O
otherwise, who are willing to take th,
responsibility of stimulating falls
hope.

THE DEADLOCK - ADVICE THAT
sHoUID BE FoLLowED-The New
York Herald, to-day, gives this advice
fos ending the deadlock :-s.No Dem,
ocrat can vote for any one of the Re-
publican candidates, and no Republic
can can vote for q Democratic candi-
date, while between the different Re-
publican factions there is a rift as
wide and deep and unbridgable as that
which divides Democrats and Repub-
leans. In this condition the per-
formances of the convention are nec-
essAriiy reduced to monotonous
casting 90 many votes once day for
Herman, Platt and Depew for one
place, and Potter, Conkling and
Wheeler for the other. Is any fair
compromise probable between the Re.
publican factions 2 We do not be.
lieye 1t IL. II no compromise is prob
abba it Is folly for the Legislature t,
remain in session and keep up thi
farce Of daily pretended attempt t.
choose an official whom it will no
cheese. Senators and Assemblyme
should 60 home at once"

A NEW SOURCE OF WEALTH. I'm
the South the Increase of the cotton
crop has been enormous, and recently
it has been found that the hulls, stalk
and leaf OF the cotton plant, which
hitherto had been soufce of trouble,
can be utilized and made to form a
nutritious article Of food. One result
viii be, it is estimated, he ability to
sustain some 80, 600, 600 Of sheep from
= source previously unknown, as these
leaves and stalks previously went TO
waste. This number of sheep means
clip Of about 90,000, 900 rounds of
wool = year, Or an addition yearly to
southern wealth Of some $50, 600, ,0OO.
In Texas in 1855 the clip was q, ,OO0, 900
pounds, In 1880 1t was %, OOO, 200
pounds. IN the ether Southern States
the increase has been great, but not SC
marked.

what Mr.. P,tnsy H, lew.

From the Hartford Times.
AS long as the peculations that have
recently come to light in the Treasury
Department only smirched clerks they
were allowed to be made public, but the
moment they ran into the residence OF
John Sherm an and Billy Evarts they
were hushed up. Mr.. Pitney is young
map, and 1t Is nothing more tlan naiu-
raj for him to have gone wrong under
the circumstances. He was ordinarily
honest whom Mr.. Hayes went into the
Executive Mansion, hut Hayes's way Of
doing things finished him. Ia the first
place, Mr.. Pitney knew that Mr.. Hayes's
yellow barber was carried on tire rolls of
the AUDITORS office IN the Treasury De-
partment as messenger, instead of be-
ing paid by Mr.. Hayes for Ills services,
as he should have been. This n gro
never rendered auy service ih the Treas
ury Department az q messenger, and
every one knows It; yet he called there
regularly each month for bin pay. The
only service he did render was that Of q
barber and hairdresser at the White
House. Then, again, Pitney knew that
the daughter Of Mrs. Hayes's nurse, who
assisted her mother In working about the
White House, was carried sn the TreaA-
ury rolls as a messe niger also. He knew
also that the watchmeE about the Ex.
ecu.ive Mansion are paid out of the city
police fund instead of out Of the money
Appropriated for the White House,
which Was used for other purposes; and
he knew that the 100000 appropriated
by Congress during the four years that
Hayes WIS in the Whi.e House, for fur
niture and repairs, was used to pay of
Mr.. Hayss's private servants and private
bills. Mr.. Pitney knew, too, hat thoagh
the money was all spent down to the
last cent, not one piece OF furniture was
ever purchased. He knew OF other
crooked things there which it would DO
painful to relate. Was it any wonder,
then, that be engaged In unla wful things
and charged spittoons as SILVER ice pitch
ers, and got rich? The III IN that set
him the example should come In for
some Of the blame.
