SPECIAL ASSESSMEN 8. Money Lying in the Treasury Un- used for Years. The Qity Should Use It, or Return It to the Property-Owners. The Comptroller, in a recent report to the Council, stated that tos smount of moncy in the Treasury to the credit of the Special Assessment Fund was §106,807. A paragruvh in this paper, based on information obtained at the City-lall, stated that $100, 000 of this fund ‘ras dae to prop- erty-owners fn the form of rebates. soma of it baving been due for 5 dozen or wore years. It s understood that, at the time Mr. O'Hara went ont of office as City Treasurer, there was on hand abont $50,000 to the credit of this fand which was due in rebates on varions improvements. The sumé In various instances were so small a3 mot to be worth the trouble of paying them back, being as law perhaps as$1. Tn other czscs they ran up into the thou- £ands, bat were not rebated back, on the pretense that the accounts had not been fully adjusted, and that §t was impossile to figure outtoacent how much each property-holder intercsted was entitled to. On some speclal-nssessment warrants, large &ums were in the Treasury which huve been there, theoretically at lesst, since 1868. This money, it is understood, was lodned out by the then Treas- urer on better terms and for longer periods than the other funds held In his hands, That is to sn; the rest of the money was deposited in the banks, which paid him a emall percentage on his balances. the money there being al- ways subject to check. This S pectal Aeseesment Fund, being never called for, could be loaned out for from six months toa year. the oniv oblization on the Treagurer being to keep them 30 {n’ hand 1hat he could pay them over to his_successor whox the settling-up timo _came in December. Now, where there are auy such balances to the credit of a epecial assessment. there arc appareutly TWO COURSES TO BE PUNSUED: Onetsto promply repay to the property-holders the amount collected from them in excess of the actuul cost_of doine the work; the other. where tuc excess iswo siuall as hardly to be worth_dis- tribution, is to turn it into theé Trewsury, Prior to the udoption ~of the mew Constitation, it was customary to make the ps scssment on _ each lot aboat _one-third ‘more than what it was calculated the work would sctually cost. That was doe for the purpose of providine euflicient funds to pay the contractor in 1l in case o certain number of property-holders should fizht and defeat their msscssments, or at least temporarily delay collections. Where, as sometimes happened, nearly all the asscasulents were coliected, there wasa very larze surulas, wlhch wap rebited 1o the property-lolders” Tn other canee there was a small surplus, which was not rebated. This remained fu the Tresury, and has never at any time since the fonndation of the City Government been tarnedinto the Treasury, where it _properly belongs. It has remaiced, Up to & comparatively recent perioa at least, for the bene- 6t of the Treasurer. Since the adoption of the new Constitation and the new method of making as- sessnients, there has not becn 103t great excess of collectivns. The marzin between the amount col- Jected and the cost of the work has gencrally been Jess, and rebates have been rare, thoush on esch oespssmont there has been & smail_surplus which £tiil remuins to the credit of the Special Assess- ment Fund. THE MONEY TO CARRY OUT AN IMPROVEMENT, like the paving of & etrect, comes from two sonrces,—spectal ass and gen- eral taxaton. It s ‘that the work will * cost, _suy, Of this smount. $10,000 is charced azainst the city, that Yeing what il costs to IMprOvo the street intérace- tions; the remaining $40,000 is specially atucssed anainst the property benefited. The appropris- tion bill contains on item for the city's share of strect improvements. and out of toat money raised Dy wenera) taxation comes the $10,000, the $40,- 010 beinz collected by special taxation. Since 1873 there bas been collected on special assese- ment warrants wad spropristed by the Couell for the city's portion of tke benefits £2,200,036, there hss been expended $1,928,951, leav hand a nowinal bulance, which should be in the Treasury, of §2¢7,000. But from this is to be de- ducted (and it forins a larze item) the amount of uncollected tuxes, chargeable to the various appro- priatians for sirect improvements, For the purpose of secing how this thing works, a reporter took up one case. It was thatof tha walling and filling of WEST FOURTEENTI STREET, from Stewart avenuc to Centre avenue, cost of the work was estimated at 303,834.60. Of this smount, the Connal appropriated fa the Ap- propriation_bill passed in July, 1572, to pay it share, $13.389.94 (the amount charzed to the city in_tne cstimate, bowever, was S13,457.05). and £33, 36.65 was_asscseed on tho property benefit- ed.’ Between 1573 and the prescnt date there hae been credited to the ncconnt of this im- provement. under the head of receipts, less the amonnt appropriated by the city, $53,- 190.47, making 8 total of $56,608.42 Collected.

On the epecial-yesesement warrant which called for §35,343, §53,120 have been collected, $188 werc sopealed, and SI174 was_sold und the forfcited 'to the city. The cost of the work was S0, The total amonnt coilected, s before stated, was $33, 120. To this must be added that poriion of the appropriation of $13,389.94 which was collected. Of the tuxes of 1874, all was collected but 103 ver cent, or $1, 400, makinz the tota] amount collected and in the Treasuty at oue time or another of $65,000. Of this, a8 before stated, there has een expended 260,000 leaving 4 balance in the Treasury of $5,000, Thie frur- inz of the balarce of $3.000 i8 based on the ex- penditures as given by the Department of Pablic Warks. According 10 the Compiroller's reports, to which onc is constantly referred as the source af all information, the amonnt expended is S$33, - 316,16, or S1,762 less than the umonnt shown in the books of the Devartment of Public Works, "This discrepancs, however, i€ probably sccounted Tor by the fuct that either vonchers to contractors or vouchers lo property-owners who did their own work have beem issned smce the Comp- troller's last Teport was primted. ‘Taling the larcer sum, however, there still re- ‘maine in the Treasury, o cash, the sam of $5,000. Of this, 54,00 DELONGS TO THOSE PROPERTY-TIOLDERS onWest Fourteenth street who<e work ws done for them four yesrs ag0 by the contractor whom the city cmaployed. The remaining S600, plus the yet uncollected amount of the city's avpropriation of §13.000, represents the rebate to the city on its ortion of the work. All that 18 necessary to ena- Tic the payment of the $4,400 o tho property- holders is for the clerks to educt the amount of done by individuals cn their own account, for which vouchers were given, and then divide ©p the $4.400 prorota among the others, This may require 8 dittle time, but there seems to pe no reason why it could not bave been done a year ugo, and this awount of moner of $10 or $20 3 head have been retnrned to the property-own- ers, very few of whom but are 1n pressing need of it. ' 1fit is intended never to return it to the prop- erty-Folders, then canuot a better use be foand for it thsn to kecp in bauk drawinz interest for that corporation, a8 it hus drawn intérest for past (aty Treasurers, at the rate of 6 or 7 per cent per ananm? 1t would certainly seem to =ny one that, whatever might be dong with the little balances coliectea on the specisl-assessment warrants, the sums which remain over and sbove what 1t cost for doing the city's share of the work In each cate should be covered back into the Treasury, and uced either for other epecial im- provements o for zeneral municipal purpose: ACCORDING TO THE INTERPRETATION which the city ofiicers put on this matter, which fs that money once appropristed for special assess- ments and collected by general taxation, or money called on o special Warrant, can never oe ueed in Zny other way, there arises the absurdity thatsums of money will be ccutimuslly flowing into the Treasury in larger or smaller sums which can never De used, but which must remain in the Treasurer's hands a5 Jong as the municipality endurcs. Such 4 posiiion is of course avsurd, and no construction of law can be found to defend it. As resurds the surplusage on the approprintions made by the city, ang payable by pencral tazation, they are eubject Bt Suy mement to approvriation by the Council. 1t is niot yettoo late for that body 10 pass an ordinance approprating the amount on haud for apy lexitimate mumicipal purpoee. A resards the surplus coliected from the property- holders, if larze enongh to warrant it, they ehould be promptly paid back to them; if so small that it 1% not wortis while to do so,—If so_email that it would cost €8 much 10 pa¥ thew back as they amount to,—then thes shouid be covered into the Treasury: for, slthoush the law savs that special assesstent funds shall not be nsed for any other purpose, yet the law takesno heed of in- Snitesimals, and the $10 or_S20 which rematned overon sccount of strect improvements can be safely turned into the general nnd without fear of any one’s being £ent to the Penitentiary for ft. THE PROVISION OF THE CHARTER in reference to special assessment funds is as fol- Jows: All srecelved on any epecial zscessment shall e NEIGDR TG Treasurer us & special futd to be appiicd 10 the payment of the improvement for which the as- Sestment was made: and sald money skall be used for Doothier purpose whatever, unless to reimyarse such corpuration for money expended for such Improve- ment. 2 Tnger the iron-bound construction put on this by the city ofiicers. it may be asked where they get their anthonty to make any so-called rebates— where. in the charter. they find sny author- ity for paying back to & man money which \as collected from him on 3 special-assessment warmant. 'The 18w provides that woen the Council decides to make an_improvement. it stioll appoint three persons (o make an estimsie of the cost of the improvement, inclucing labor, materials, and all other cxpenses, and the cost af making and ‘levying the assessment, and repiort it In writing 10 ibe Council. Therepon appiication 1§ made to the Court, and the Cour: appoints three persons as Commissioners, who divide up smong the property besefitea the cost of the fmprovement, aliotting 10 each piece of property the proportion that it ought 1o pav. The ides of the law is that the aniount coliected shall just cover the cost of the Work. Therc iy 0O 8uch thina 80 & raheta Lnmn Tae total , bilities scheduled amounted to $ ta the law, for the law never contemptated the col- Jrctivn by tiie city of a third more than the work wonld cost. Where, then, does the city get any authority for payine any rebates ot of the Special Assessment Fund, and what s 1o be done with these accumulated Special Assessment Funds? The matter §s certainly one _descrving of prompt investigation by the Council. In a month the July coupons will be due, and there is no mancy to meeét them with. if thero can be abtained from thisSpecial Assessment Fund $50, 000 or S60. 000 of city money which is now in the Treasury, it might be ns well to_ appropriate that for the payment of the coupond, instead of attempting 1o borrow money on the street, which cannot be lezaily done, or o incur the disgrace of letting the city's paper £0 to protest. THE BANKS. THE GREENEBAUM COMPROMISE. Judge Blodgett yesterday decided the objections to the composition of 25 per cent which was offered by Henry Greencbaum & Co.. and Ifenry Greene~ baom individuslly. The chief ground of the ab- Jection was that Mrs. Elias Greencbaum had some property belonging rightly to her husband, which ought to be rivenup, and that Henry Greenebaum * had made preferential payments: and transfers, which, If sct aside, would enable the creditors to get more from the cstates. The Judge, in geciding the objections, gave o lenuthy.sccount of the troubles of the bankrupte, all of which are alreagy well known. He said that, before the question of accepting. the composition wag taken up, the creditors had abundant oppor- {unity to examine the bankrapts' accounts. They had hiad an expert also, and the composition mect- ingwas once ndjourned for the sole purpose of ving the Committce time to examine the books. 'he bankrupts hid been engaged extenstvels business, and their schedules showed their cro itors to be 754 In number, of which 386 wore cred- itors for over $50. 'The total amonnt of the }ia~ 137.55. The pumber of creditors present at the camposition meeling was 114 representing debts to the amount of 000. The composition offer was 23 per cent—~3 per cent cash, 10 per cent in one year, und 10 per cent in two years, the deferred pavients to beevidenced by the joint and individual notes of the bunkrupts and sécured by & bond for $100,000 to be approved by a commitiee of creditors. This offer was nccepted by & vote of 114 to 14, the ob- Jectors only representing S34,000. The composi- ton was afterward approved by 270 of the credit- ors, representinz $322, 000, The objections were in Lrief that the resolution was not legally adopted; that Elias Greenebaum farled to scnednle a large amount of his_ property, and bad slso attempted 1o transfer and ussign 10 bis _wife ol bis interesc fn the firm of Greencbaum & Co.; that both Elias ana enry had marde frandulent preferential tranafers, and that the bankrupts had failed to ehow by their schedules the numes of alt_their_creditors. The main_controversy, however, the Judge s=ald, was about two traneactions. The first was that Ellas went into the firm, contributing §250,000 cash, and at the samo time conveyed all the re- mainder of his property, worth $250,000 or $300, - 000, to his wife, Who now nolds it us against the firm creditors. ‘This. it wax ciaimed, was o fraud- ulent conveyance. The other main ‘objection was that Henry Greencbaum had made unlawfu] prefer enusl paviments just before eoing into bank- ruptey | by ing & large smomnt of real estate owned by him individually to varius rm_creditors in fraud of his individual creditors. The facts were that Henry conveyed cortain property last summer to sectire 580, 000 borrowed chiefly to belp the New York firm of Greeenbaum Bros. & Co.,and $25,000 borrowed for the firm hiere, ‘The duy before the failuze also Henry executea instruments declaring that he held certaln property in trust for the German Nationsl and for the German Savings Bank. The Judye enid thal with rezard to the convey- ances made by Elias 1o bis wife in 1674, they conld Berdly be cafled void under suy proviston of the Baukrapt law. Al most *hey could only be at- {acked by oreditors us un executed or jachoate gift. The conveyances of Henry Crecnebaum, howsver, on the eve of his bank- ruptcy | were _ of more guestfonablo validity noder the Bapkrupt Jaw, and it wus possi- ble that £omo of them mizht be set aside as prefer- entlal. But it was obvious euch o result could ouly be renched at the end of & seriea of Juwtuita with the parties at present interested in the prop- erty conveyed. All the fucts with referenco to those conveyances were before the creditors st their meetings, The Committee appointed by tho creditors consisted of nble lawyers and sagacious business nicw, an_expert was also employed to go through the Books. aud there was ro ciiarge that any materm fact haa heen concealed which would revent the creditors from acting intelligently in e matter, The single question was, therefore, whether the Coutt, for the objecttu .s ziven, ought to refase to ratify'the composition. ‘Thie creditors who agreed to the compromise were men of intelligence, & large proportion _being bankers or business-firms. 1o did ot sppear that any improper wiuence had hoen exerted on any ereditor to securo bis vote. Since the amendmentof 1574 to the liankrupt law, the right of a certain majority of the creditors of & haukrept to control the bankruptey-proceedings had been one of tho leading features of the law, and the constitntionality of such action had been emply sustained by the courts. 1f & quarter in numver 20d third in amount of 3 man's creditors joined. any one wonld be put into Dbankruptey, und in composition proceedings under the lawsof 1874 the creditors could undoubtedly condone acts of bavkruptcy or even frauds of swhfch their debtor had been guilty. 1f more than three-quarters of the creditors representing. the least fraction more than two-thirds of tho debts saw fitto overlook the acts of bankruptcy, the minority were powerless, All that s Courr, then, was required to do\ns to see that the creditora had been fully and boaestly advised of the true condition of the debior's sfaira o thut they conld have acted understancingly and intellizently. The whole question of ~ whether tho composition shoutd be accepted twas relezated under tho Jaw to the mecessary quorum of the creditora. and if it appeared that they acted intel- ligeatly the Court Gught to confirm their action, unless” subsequent disclosures should aiter tho showing, Tne law required that the composition shonld be confrmed by two-thirés_in number of the creditors representing one-half in value, The resalt n the present instance showed a majority of ¢loven in number and over $100,000 in amount. The firm composition would, therefore, be con- frmed, and the objections overruled. to_Licnry Greenebaum’s individual composi- tion, it appeared aito that o majonty agreed 1o it. The' German National Lank held o large major- ity 1 amount of the Indebtedness rcprescnted at'the meeting, but 1t was not then under his con- trol. beinz fn tho hands of a Receiver. It was ob- jected that some of hls creditors voting in favor of ihe composition were administrators, sssignees, etc. ; but, even omitting them, there was o mojor- ity for the comprowise,” A Court, however, would protect such parties, and at most they only made {omeelves pecsanally liable. but wieir vote would be vood, Wis contingent liability as stockholder of the German Savines and National Lanks was so contingent it was not necessary to be scheduled. The objectivns to Henry Greenebaum’ individual composition would therefore also be overruled and the composition confirmed. THE STATE SAVINGS. The cascs of Nathan Well and otvers against D. D. Spencer and the other Directors of the State Savings Institotion came up yesterday bLefore Judge McAllister on o demurrer of Smith, Buck- lcy. and Turner to the declarations. There are some eix orscven cascs, by as many creditors of the bank, to recover from the Dircciors on the ground of their ** carelessness, neglivence, willful- ness, unskillfulness, misconduct, deceit, fraud, and default. The cbief grounds of the demurrer aro; Firat, that the provision of the charter recited in the declaration does not authorize s creditor or de- positor of the State Savings Institution to bring kit 10 his own name 1o recover the stock liability nzuivet the defendants as stocklolders, and an action in trespass on the case cannoi be maln- tained: second, the plaintiff is not entitled by law 10 recover awainst the defendants: third, it is not alleced inthe declaration that the lossesand deficits in the aeseis of the bank affected or diminished in any sepse the trust or eavings fuud of thc bank: fourth, itis not shown that the amount of lossee or deficiency that hus occurred to the savines fand o 1o the trust funds of the bank, nor that the lovs or_deficiency, arose after the de- fendants became stockholderas fitth, the pinintifls are not entitled to bring suit under any construc- tion of the charter provision until the assets of the bank are marshaled and distributed to the various creditors; sixth, no creditor of tae bank under its charter iv cntitled to_recover or receive from any stackbolder more thon bis pro rata with the other creditora of the trust und #avings fand. of what- ever amount the etockholders are liable on their stock; soventh, under the charter the stockholders' liability constitutes u contingent asset of the bank for any actermined loss or denciencies; cighth. the declaration and each countis wnin- telligibly and incoherently stated. J.W.” Merriam and Sam_Ashton appeared for the pluintifis, and M. W. Fatler, Thomas Hayae, and Kretzinger & Veeder for the defendonts. - The case was concluded and taken under sdviscment. HAINES V8.

C. Haines, its President. There were also divers personal reminiscences of borhood. and per- £onal anccdotes of complainant's fraternal love for bis more favored brother, which aided in swelling the bill until v covered some £ty or aixty pages. Saturday the Receiver of the bank, V. A. Turpin, fiied zn answer to this lengthy bill, and, 15 many of the facts in controverss could only be known or deojed by J. C.

COMMUNISH IN AMERICA. An English View of How Americans WIll Deal with It. ZLondon Tmes, May 13, Those of our readers who have followed with any attention the recent social and industriat history of the United States will scarcely be sur- prised at the news, which our correspondent in Philadelphia seods us, that an ageressive out- break of Communism is apprehended fn that country. The United States are suflering like ourselves from a prolonged period of commer- cial depression and industrinl distress. The working classes are powerful and well organized, and if they were only unanimous in their afing they would certainly be able to mold the social organism at their will. 1t is the weakness, however, of Socialistic movements that they spring not so much from a definite and coher- ent theory of social recoustruction as from discontent and impatience under the influeuce of local and temporary distress. AMr. Lowe Toug ago illustrated the potential strensth and the actual weaknes of democratic forces by Cur- ran’s story of the fleas, * which, if they had only been unanimous, would have pulled him out of bed.” This lack of unanimity has hith- erto paralyzed the constructive effortsof Com- munisin, dut it does not prevent its exercisinga powerful disturbing force. Thus in the West- ern States the labor question has Jong cclipsed in importance the ordioary partisan struzelesof current Federal polities. The turbulent and un- compromising miners of Californiaare very much more anxious to seeure a representative who is sound on the vital guestion of Chinese labor than to obey the bidding of partv wire-pullers in the choice of a Democrat or s Republican, If their represcutative does not fultill his ledges, they are ready to hang him forthwith, Bat ‘thetr unanimity ceases at this polnt, and the popular leader, Kearney, who proposed this simple but scarcely adequate remedy for the .social troubles of the West, has already been tepudiated by a section of his followers. Thus the old and inevitabic strugele between Jacobins and Girondists has already begun in California. Something of the same violent spirit was mani- fested in a more openly ageressive shape Iast summer jn the railway riots at Pittsburg snd elsewhere. Such outbreaks could not oc- cur without widesprcud political disaffection and social discontent. The railway fosurrection was undoabtedly a formidable symptom of a spirit which mny vet threaten the whole fabric of American socicty. It required a preat dis- play of military force to quell it, but, though{ts dimensions were very far from insfgnificant, it was repressed with comparative ease, and with little disturbance of the rzeneral tranquillity. This was at soy rate @ proof that, however osrerful are the forces of disruption in Amer- ica, the forces of cohesion are stronger still. We may, therefore, regard the newly-mani fested tendency towards azgressive Commun- {sm and social ipsurrection ratber as the natural effervescence of a mew political orgauization than as siens of incurable anarchy or of social dissolution. It s not surprising that American Commun- ism finds its natural home in San Francisco. The political orzanization {n the States of toe Far West is nominally tdentical with thut of New England, but the dominant political ideas are widely different. New England has a long and chequered experience of political life, its facts and 1ts fancies, its dreams aud its realities. In the West everything is new, ond it would be herd if the vizorous and boisterous young com- muvities of the Pacific, {nstinet with youthful ardor and impatience, should not be atiowed to lave their own political aspiraticns and their own social {deals. The humdram experience of the Old World, or even of the older vpart of the New, fs far too satiquated for them, and they are de- termyned, even by force if neeessary, to trv their own experiments in living, “They have theirown labor difficultics and their own industrial problems, and, with the simple confl~ dence of youthful communities In so-fal nos- trums, théy turn to_Communism as 3 cure for all their troubles. The ‘‘poor bovs,” as they call themselves, look upon capitalists as their natural enemles, and, Jike the Internationalista of Europe, they yearn for some fancied golden aze, when the poor man shail enter futo the fn- heritance of the rich. The symopathy and co~ operation which secm to be accorded them in the Atlantic States spring from the same causes as have more than once %raducud ‘Cammunpistic movements in Europe. The platform adopted by the Pennsylvania State Convention, of which our correspondent sends us anabstract, is full of the ideas from which the Commun- isticimpulse springs. It attributes the mis- Tortunes of the country to the coutrol of the Government, by non-broducers, and to the favor which legislation affords to capital against the interests of labor. Among other1antastic fiscal ramedies, it proposes that _labor should be pro~ tected in its right to earn reasonable wages, and that the rate of intercst should be reduced. This is the_natural and universal language of industrinl discontent. When trade is bad, when wages srelow, and when industry is conse- quently depressed, it is difficult for meu who are poor and struggling to_acknowledge the justice or to mcquicsce in the necessity of the economival laws which permit some of therr meighbors to be rich. There have not been wanting thinkers in- all ages who haye maintained that Communism, or the equal distribution of material weaith, is a better basls for socinl orzanization than that of private vraperty. But only fanatics and enthu- sinsts have ever proposed 1o establish such on orzanization by force. 1f Communism is ever to furnish the socta] framework of the future, it will come, not by violence and Insurrection against the existing order, but by common con- sent and by universal and spontaucous choice. Attempts will no doubt be made Irom time to time in America. as toey have been made from time to time in Europe, to establish it by force. Bur American civilization is assuredly stroug enough to throw off such tnoral and social hu- mors without serious or nermanent injury. It is the American habit to give the ut- most speculative license to extreme opin- jons, and cven to tolerate ther issue in action, so long ~as the disturbance they cause dous not affect the weneral weifure or threaten the social fabric. The respectable citizens of New York lonzendured patiently the most shameless and corrupt municipality in the world; but the time came when their endurance was cxhausted, and they easily shook off the incubus. The fate of Communism in America wil in all probability be similar to tbat of municioal corruption in New York. Americaus have regarded it with indifference £o long as it was agzressive only. fn speech and disloyal only in theory. They may even tolerate an_ esper- mental trial of it eo Joug as it does not threaten the existingz Constitution. But should it attempt, to put its extreme theories into execution, they wi make short work of it. They know from bit~ ter experience what rebellion is, and they knoie, too, how fo quell it. Therc is no fear of their speculative toleration of extreme theories of life and goverument beguiling them into indif~ ference to a eocial revolt which, if it is any- thing more than a mere anarchical impulse, is nothing less than on attempt to destrov the whole fabric of society in order to reconstruct l& ali'coming 10 a visionary and wholly untried ideal. 2 1f. as we will not anticipate, the United States are destined to go throurh a social crisis of this kind, we shall doubtless bear again, as we used to hear fifteen years ago, @ good deal about the evil effects of democratic institutions. 1f, however, it is the Weakness of Ins tutions ~ like those of America to give a tolerant encouragement to all sorts of cxperiments wn social and political organiza- tion, it is their strength 1o be able to survive them, to profit by their success, and to be little the worse for their tallure. The fabric of American soclety s so strong that it can sustain with little or no injury shocks which would be Jatal to weaker and more effete constitutions. 1ln ‘the United States freedom of discussion fs the safety-vaive through which o great deal of superfluous political steam escapes. When Kearney, the workingmew's leader {t'San Fran- cisco, prouoses to hang Mr. Senator Bones, that is oniv the California mode of passing a vote of censure on a representative who is un- reasonable enough to have an opinfon of bis own. Kearney has now been deposed oy his own followers, -but {f he had been arrested for secditfon in consequence of what in Europe would not unnaturally be re- garded a3 an intemperate speech, his power would have been strencthened, and perhaps Mr. Bones® neck might really have been in dan- ger. Americans have political sazacity enough to distinguish sharply between intemperance or gyen revolutionary speech andrebelitous action. They nave unbounded toleration for thc one, but they have never shown any great patfence of the other. We do not doubt that if thoy have to deal with any dangerous form of Com- munism they wiil deal with it effectively. The social fabric of the United States is as capatls of successfully resisting such an attack as that of any State inthe world. OUR" DELMONICO. His Effort to Please the Chicago Eplcure Meets with Hoarty Support—The Tivol the Buslest Place Ia Towa. It must be very gratifyioe to the proprietors of the Tivoli tosee the hearty manner in which the public aporoves thelr recect exhibition of enterprise in the opening of those beautiful dinfogand supper-rooms. We have long waited for just euch a place, and Te TRIBUNE has Prcdmed over and over sgain that such a great, iberally-condacted restaurant as the Tivoll would ‘be generously supported. The crowds of our leading citizens and others less noted Wwho thronged the main dinlog-hell and orivate apartments of the Tivoll every evening last week, and every day from 12 to 2 o’clock, prove we were right.” Ruo on the Delmonico plan, with Parislan cuisine, with liberal but exacting management that treats everybody, rich or poor, alike, so long as his or her conduct {s above reproach, and with the cheering presenco of Col. Wilson at the belm, the Tivoli must continue to be to Chicago what Delmonico 1s to New York or Wormley's to Washington. —— ELECTRIC LIGHT, To the Editor of The Tribune. ‘WasmiNGTox, D. C., May 23.—As the subject which heads this article fs now attracting con- siderable attentlon among scientitle mnen, I pro- pose to notice briefly that Dr. Philip O. senkins, a citizen of Illinols, now sojourning in thiscity, Das invented o method by which electric light may be utilized, and made practically useful, in lizhting not only streets, but also halls, church- es, and dwellings. Some of the readers of Tue TRIBUNE will re- member a demonstration made a few years stoce in clectric light at Streator, by Dr. J., which, thoueh on a limited scale, was a decided success. Since then Dr. J. bas perfected his plans (which were then only incomplete in some minor details), and now presents to the world a system by which the light can be utilized, both by combusiion and {ncandescence, continued without {ntermission avy desired length of time, and not only spread along streets and alleys, but als0 used to furnish light in any character of buildiogs. ‘Any person of ordinary iotormation has for a long time known that electricity would produce light. It bas, however, been the business of those learned in tbat science, and by mechanieal appliances, to make it subservient to the uses and wants of the human'famly. ‘The grestest difficuity to Yo vessonni has been that of continuing an even light for time indefinite. This difticulty has been solved by Dr. J.. and, by a process of which be is the in- ventor, & uniform and brilliant light can be fur- nished during au_eutire night, and so perfect will be his machinery for making it constant that 1o attendant wiil be required. This is surcly a great desideratum. What the people want fn the citles and large towns is something cheap to take the place of the feeple and flickering gas-gets. This want Dr, J. proposes to supply by furnishing a light, at less than balf the cost of gas, much more than 100 per cent better, and go softencd that, though brilliant like the sun’s rays, {t will occa: sion Bo injury to the eves. In this age, when progress in selence and the arts has been so rapid, people have inquired (aud often expressed it), ** Why cannou discoy- erers devisc come plan by which we can have more and better light?™ " The cry, or at least emphasized thought, bas often goge out from the pedestrian along dark or - half-lighted streets, “Give us lizht, more light.” ¥or somo wise purpose the Author of all things so constructed the sphere we inhabit that sunlight is taken from us half the time. The same Divine Author hds, however, given us elec- tricity, or the clements by which it is produced, and created man endowed with genius to utilize thoss elements. The time has now arrived for us to avail ourselves of benefits resultiog from the thorough iuvestization that hes been made by Dr. J. of that abstrusc science. I remark, by the way, that Dr. Jenkins has devoted wmuch time toother branches of science, and is the inventor of a lime heating stove (for which he has obtained a patent) that is destined to supply a want long felt, as with ap expendi- ture of a very few cents & small bath or other room ¢an be beated, and as a {not-stove, for use in sleigbs, or carnages, or by those required to stand upon cold pavements, as in market-houses, they will be of iofinite service, nothing being required to produce the hear except lime au water. . e —— CITIZEN SCHILLING'S IDEA, To the Editor of The Tribune.
