No one can have any adequate conception of
the number Of eligible sites for public build
ings which city contains until commission
turns up with a general invitation to every
body that has views in regard to sites to present
them. The commissioners appointed to select a
site for a new Federal building 10 Brooklyn
can testify to the truth of this assertion. II
they fail readily to choose site the embar-
rassment of riches will be to blame. They
doubtless would look with favor upon any one
OF the sites submitted to them were the other
fine sites away.

1t will be seen that the Executive Committee
of the National Civil Service Reform League
take the popular view of Mr.. Burt's promo
tion." The resolution in which they free their
minds in regard to it is calm but forcible ar
raignment of the President for an act which,
ostensibly in the interest Of Civil Service Re.
form, in reality stabs it under the fifth rib.

The merchants of this city have vainly en-
deavored for many years to secure a reduction
in the rates of pilotage in this Port. The
Chamber of Commerce and the Produce Ex-
change have taken up the subject several
times. and have succeeded in getting bills in
troduced and favorably reported in the Legis-
lature but under the organized opposition OF
the pilots such bills have always failed to
reach the Governor. A Senate committee
favorably reported bill of this kind yester-
day, and it will be interesting to watch the
men who will be sure to oppose it when 1t
comes up for consideration. Under existing
laws all except cOastwise vessels have to pay
pilOtage fees whether or not they need or make
use of pilot. For vessel drawing twenty
one feet of water this tax amounts TO
1886 so, and if she has to be towed in, there
is an additional expense of sos. When the
Quarantine, Harbormaster's, Port Warden's,
Custom House entry and clearance and wharf
age fees are all paid, several hundred dollars
have been expended. If vessel loads par
tally in Brooklyn and then comes to New
York she must pay heavy fine to the Long
shoremen's Union for having engaged men
under the Irregular" rates. The Shipping
Commissioner gets 81 for every sailor shipped
by him. These are a few Of the burdens OF
shipping in the Port OF New York. and it is
time that the Legislature struck at one OF the
worst of these abuses, that Of unjust pilotage

The Assembly last evening went ont OF Its
way, but not out of its character, to cohdone
fragrant outrage upon the ballot-box. The ma
iority of the Committee on Privileges and
Elections reported in favor of awarding the
contested seat of the XIIlth District of this
city to Mr.. Sprague. They did so after a care
full examination of all the evidence which the
sitting member and the contestant had to OIL
fer. There could be no question in the mind
of any intelligent man who read the testimony
as it was presented that Mr. Sprague was the
choice of the majority of the voters OF Dis
district His title to the seat was demon
strated. And yet, at the dictation of reckless
and unscrupulous leaders the Democratic ma
ior;ty make mock of justice by setting
aside the majority report and adopting that
of the minority. Nothing more scandalous and
indecent was ever perpetrated even i'll the rot
ten days of Tweed.

Two important hearings in the interest OF
Temperance were held in this city yesterday
One took place at the Mayors Office and the
other at the Office of the Excise Commissioners.
The object OF both hearings was the same-to
see if something could not be done that would
result in the reduction of the number OF liquor
shops in New-YOrk The committee that
waited upon Mayor Edison submitted to him
sundry facts each one of which weighed ton,
in support Of their reasonable and righteous re-
quest that in his appointment OF Excise Com
missiOners TO succeed those whose term OF Once
will soon expire he will he governed by de-
termination to call to the Board only men whom
the public will recognize as worthy alike III
character and intelligence to be clothed with so
great a responsibility. The Mayors response to
the committee Indicated that he WAS in full
sympathy with them and wOuld act in line
with their views. This fact having been commu-
nicated 10 that pure and unseldsh patriot, Mr..
Maurice j. Power, it evidently filed his soul with
pain and anxiety, while the knowledge OF 1t
moved ore of orr noble Aldermen to exclaim
with engaging frankness that the Mayor could
not get any heightened men confirmed as Ex-
else Commissioners by the Board of which he,
the said Alderman, is a member. The hearing
Mt the office of the Excise Commissioners was
noticeable for the salient questions that were
asked and for the light thrown upon the
French Madame license matter. A report of
both hearings will be- found on another page.

AS is well known Constitutional amend
ment is now pending in the Assembly having
for its object the abolition of the Office of State
Engineer and Surveyor. All the same the Sem
ate yesterday amended the annual appropria-
ton bill SO as TO abolish the State Survey and
transfer the powers and duties Of that Board to
the State Engineer and Surveyor. This action
of the Senate may be regarded as killing the
Constitutional amendment. The Democratic
managers evidently are of the opinion that the
State Engineer and Surveyors Office, al
though it may have outlived its usefulness, is
too valuable piece of patronage to be legls-
lated ont of existence.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The feeling in
the House this morning is that the con-
ference bill will pass as it came from the
Senate, though it is freely stated that the
speaker most of the Ohio delegat tion,
several Pennsylvanians and Mr.. Robeson
will do all they can to defeat it.
The Democrats are expecting the ready
passage Of the bill, and the leaders on that
side say there are % Democrats who will
vote for it. An Ohio man who is strong
in his opposition says there are at present
18 Republicans who will, he thinks, vote
against the bill. " But, f" he added, "they
are changing all the time on both sides." {"
The Tarin Conference Report Ventilated.
After the transaction of some misceI-
laneous business, Mr.. Kelley (Pa.) sui
mitted the tariff conference report. Mr..
Hubbell (Mich.) and Mr.. Bayne (Pa.)
demanded the reading of the report.
Before it was read, Mr.. Bayne raised
a point of order that suffi.
cient explanatory statement did
not accompany the report as pro-
vided by the rules. After some dis
cussion the speaker SUSTAINED tho point.
Mr.. Kelley then attached to the report
statement that the bill provided for an
aggregate reduction of $67, 7,0OO, 900 and
the speaker decided that this was sufi
cient statement. The clerk than began to
read the report.
Thereading of the report (Which began
at 12:45 o'clock) includes the reading Of
the whole bill which, unless the demand
is withdrawn, will not be concluded before
2:3O.
Edmunds Chosen President Of tho Senate.
In the Senate the bill to exclude public
lands in Alabama from the operation of the
laws relating to mineral lands was passed
as was also the bill directing the readjust-
meDt of salaries of certain postmasters.
Mr.. Bayard offered a resolution, which
was agreed to, unanimously rendering the
thanks of the Senate to Hon. David Davis
for the courteous, impartial and able man
ner in which he has fulfilled the duties of
president pro temp0re.
At noon Mr.. Davis, in feeling address,
the Office of president of the
Senate, and MIR. Edmunds was elected and
sworn in by Mr.. Anthony, the senator old
est in the service.
The River and Harbor Bill Settled for this
Session.
The fate of the river and harbor bill was
settled by the Senate adopting al
motion of Mr.. Ingalls, that the
report of the committee accompanying the
bill be printed and lie on the table.
This action carries over till tomorrow the
of the bill itself, and as a
Sunday is not legislative day no further
action can be taken by the Senate upou
The bill at this session. 1t is generally
that the purpose of the motion
was to kill the bill.
