james King to tell the Assembly what they
have been doing in their secrctIvc and mysterl-
Gus meetings with regard TO the proposed llar-
lem River bridge has been adopted and perhaps
we shall now be able to get at all the facts of
their relations with the Union Bridge Company.
There have been queer runOrs III circulation
since Mr.. Hamilton offered this mandatory resO-
luton, rumOrs that the contract was to be
changed, that another style of bridge was to bo
built, and, despite the fact that one of the Com
mssioners in the presence OF another told Il
TRIBUNE reporter that the contract had been
signed, scaled and delivered" 3" a statement sup
ported the next morning by Mr.. Clark. of the
Union Bridge Company, yet report even says
that these extraordinary commissioners will
now deny that contract was ever entered into,
and are busy preparing an explanation of their
statement In view of the fact that their
language was precisely as THE TRIBUNE quoted
it, we shall await an "explanatIon which
seeks to show that they meant that the ontract
was not signed, sealed and delivered, with con-
siderable interest. We have already referred
to the surprising taciturnty Of these commits
sioners, but if this rumor now in wide circula-
tion, is correct, we are willing to cOncede that
they had better not trust themselves to talk.
The task of making it appear that when they
said white they really meant black " is not,
however, the only strain that this inquiry will
make upon their ingenuity The taxpayers,
who must endure the burden that in their SUI
preme pleasure they choose to impose, desire to
know why they did not let the contract to the
lowest bidder; why, having advertised for
plans and specifications, they did not select that
which seemed best, and then advertise for pro-
posals; why they committed themselves to a
scheme costing the city not less than $780,
900, when half Of that sum at least might have

costly structure, they chose for contractors the

General Hanc0ck's death will cause universal
regret He was an ideal Soldier, if not also an
ideal General No officer during the rebellion

spicnous galantry his right to their admiration.
He was not one of the great leaders, but he VIII

figures Of our Civil War. 1t was not to General
Hancock's advantage that he was nominated
for the Presidency. Many of those who knew
and liked him the best felt that neither MS
original endowments nor the training OF MS lie
had fitted him for great civil and executive
trusts; and before the campaign was over the
same thing was doubtless clear tn the leaders
of the party that had put him forward. Nature
made him a soldier; but neither Nature nor
study had made Il statesman OF him. lie ac

The prison scandal in New-Jersey has caused
deep disgust throu hOut the State. Keeper
Laverty may not be guilty of any personal
offences: but his course in defence has shocked
Democrats and Republicans alike. A painful
condition of morals has evidently prevailed ID
the prison of late, and the keeper must be held
responsible for it. The removal OF this official,
although he is a close friend of Governor Abb
belts, seems to be called for in the interest OF
public decency.

The friends of the bill to establish an "ArbOr
Day" in this State seem to be willing to
modify the date they had fixed upOn-the 25th
of March. 1t should come in April sometime !;
March is too early for tree-pantng anywhere
in New-YoIk. and the last of April would not
be too late probably for the st. Lawrence coun-
ties. The third or last Saturday in that month
might answer best, perhaps. Saturday should
be selected so as not to interfere with the regu-
lar work of the public schools-that is, if the
day is intended especially to encourage children
in tree-plantug.

New Yorkers owe ii large debt of gratitude to
the Ladies' Health Protective Association Tor the
improvements il has persuaded the butchers
along the river fronts to adopt or to promise
to adopt. The sanitary condition of the city is
much better than when the association began
its work, for the air in the upper part of the
town is not polluted by the foul odors that at
one time were waited across the island. More
over it has been proved that it is necessary for
the public health to remove the slaughter
houses from the city limits. Asphalt floors com
plete drainage and secrecy in Killing are essen
tial points which when complied with make
the abattoirs harmless.
