FOR GOOD ROADS IN gEW-yoRK.

The most noteworthy proposal for action
under the Higbie-Armstrong good roads law
which has thus far been made Is that of the
Oneida County Supervisors, 10 wit that the
State shall forthwith appropriate S5OO0OO to
oe united with an equal sum to be contributed
by the Individual counties, for general scheme
OF Improvement of the chief highways of the
State. We are informed that this is the first
resolution of the kind adopted by any county
poard IN the State. If so Oneida County is
entitled to credit for thus leading the wav in q
benefcent enterprise. To what extent the other
counties will follow the example remains tn he
seen. 1t is almost too much to hope that all will
do so. and will declare their readiness to toin
pro rata in raising the 100000 required. thouoh
it is earnestly to be wished that they might and
it is confidently TO be believed that their doins
so would be highly and directly profitable IF
not, oneida and other progressive counties nav
move on their own account, each receiving Stete
aid proportionate to its self-aid.

EagIe" presumptively competent witness,
said yesterday that Devery had lost poiht III
long series of contests with the president or the
Police Board but feared no radical action OF the
Board in consequence; that 1t had apparently
been settled for the present that he was not to
ne removed or retired; that the leaders in Will
loughby Street seemed TO be satisfied TO have the
situation of last Saturday restored, and that
there was no talk of bringing charges against
the Chief for exceeding his powers. Our con-
temporary also quoted Mr.. Hugh Mclaughlin
as saying: II am at peace with all the world
and have no animosity toward any one.
This probably authentic account of the state
of mind in which the Brooklyn Democratic
machine now finds itself does not encourage
hope of any such rupture OF its relations with
Tammany as many incautious observers were
sure would follow and become an important
factor in the municipal contest of next year. 1t
