COLLECTOR ROBERTSON AND REFORM. Judge Robertson promises not only to con- tinue the reform Inaugurated by Gen, Mer- ttt in'the New York Custom-House, but to go still further in the direction of a complete divorce of the office from partisan polities, This announcement shows, what indeed night have been assumed, that the new Col- lector of the Port of New York is in entire sympathy with the President In’ his known purpose to mako the reform of tho Clvil Service, so far ng such reform ts practleable through Exeentive influence and action, 2 prominent feature of his Administration. [6 shows, tov, the Injustice of the oft-repeated assertion of Mr, Conkiing’s frienuds pending the inte Senatorial contest at Albany, that Judge Hobertson was fighting the Inte “ Primate” with a “ pocketful of Custom- House appointments.” It shows, further, that the President meant just what he sald when jie declared that the New York Cus- tom-House patronage should not be used to promote or dainage the fortunes of any poll- tielan: To rotain such men, and only such, As oro neceasury to transact tho business of tho Cus- tom-luuse; to dismiss thoso holding sinecure Positions, if thore ure any; and to keep those wwhoso bubits are good, and ‘whose Induatry, as been tried; no new clerks will be employed for partisan reasons; no applicant for oftico will bo asked whether he isa Kepublican or Domocrut, Crt, or be required to give a pledge of fidelity to the Administration. ‘This is declared to be the purpose of Judge Robertson in the conduct of the most im- portant civil ofllec in the country, This, It Will be observed, 18 « proposition to orgunize and cojiduct a great public oflice precisely as private individuals, and firms, and corpora- tlons aro In the habit of managing their alfnirs, It isa proposition to return to’ the practice which prevailed under the Adiminis- trations of the varller Presidents of the Re- public, AIL persons not tainted by contact with and long devotion to the spoils system will heartily applaud the proposed long step In advance on the road to the abso- Inte severance of the routine business of the Government from tho hents and shocks of partisan polltical contests. They will won- der how it is that the people have so long permitted designing. politicians and self- chosen Bosses to trifle with aud debauch the public service by making It n mere pander to their. selfish ambitions. When the reform shail have been accomplished, not only in the Now York Custom-House, but In all the ofices’ of the Government, tha period during whieh the spoils theory has had full sway,— from Jackson to Grant,—with all ite Inevita- bie voncomitants, inefliclency, corruption, and contract frauds, will be regnrded with horror, a3 48 shameful, long debauch, a hideous- dream, o nightmare, a gro- tesque = political delirium, ‘fhe great whisky frauds of 1876; the customs-rave- nue frauds, which were unearthed first in 1870, '73, and’73, and again in 18738; and the stur-route frauds exposed by the present Adninistration,—all these gigantic robberles and hundreds of smaller ones are directly traceable to the spoils system. And indi. rectly they are traceable to the Intluencoof Bossism, which took the place of legitinate lenderstfip at the close of the War of Kebell- fon. The Boss fs a spawn of the spolls system. Given Dosslsin, and we’ have ma- ching polities with Its attendant Hekspittle- ism, and the support of all three—Hossism, lickspittletsm, and political machineism— is the spoils system, Strike down thespolls system, and Bussism Is at once destroyed and legitimate leadership restored.

It is immaterial how this battery of explosives was to be used, Itis enough that It was Intended to destroy publle or private property and human Iife, directly or indirectly, Whother these explosives were designed to blow up passenger vessels on the ocean or vessels of war, the cowardice of tho would-be, murder- ersand assasings !s none the less Infamous. ‘Tho intention ant. the means to be employed tocarry that Intention Into effect are self- evident, ‘That no Ives haye been snerifged by this means is duo to tha blundering of the agents, and not to any humane consider- ations on the part of the conspirators, © All these proceedings are critainal to tho utmost extent.

Doubtless as many people have left Chicago for an annual “summering” as have lett any other Ameriean city of its size, “Chiearo peoplo feal the same smpulse to indulge in summer travel as the denizens of hotter clt- les. In the months of July nid August they become resttess. They sigh for a change, notof air, bubof scene; and they go to Eu- rope, to Saratoga, to Newport, to a thousand places on the seashore, In the mountains, and in the neighborhood of Inkes In high Iatl- tudes, Hore they rest, tIsh, flirt, and gossip, or dabble In stocks and grain over the “ wires,"” é But the outgoing “trains” from Chicago Inden with troops of pleasure-seekers tro tiet by Incoming “trains?

Besides, even If actors and musicians wore at thelr best, nudlences cannot be gathered Ina hot and sultry clty. ‘Zo Now York, for example, strangers do not go In summer, and upon yisltoxs the thontres nud concert-hulls largely depend for a support, But In Chiengo we change all this. Theclity is thronged with visitors in stmmer, and the best theatrical companies at New York find thelr account in transferring thdlr ficld of Inbor to the thentres of Chicnzo;. and here they aro, grected by Inrgo and appreciative audionces, Mr. Thomas has experimented with his or- chestra in the City of New York In summer, and lls former brief seasons here haye con- inced him that this is a far belter field. Tho yast audiences which greet him nightly are composed in Jargo part of strangers,— people from all over the South, who ure In Chleago seoktug rost, health, and pleasure. ‘These “full houses” at tho Exposition Hall and the crowds at our theatres cannot be duplicated In simmer thne in any other largo city of the country,— first, becnuse strangers do not visit other largo cities In summer; and, second, because inno othor large city of the country is the atmosphere of suinmer favorabla to the. en- joyment of concerts and theatrienls, 1t fol- Jows that Chicago 1s the most desirable city in the country for residence all the year round, Its delightful atmosphere during what Is known as tho heated term—tho stun- mer months—ls equivalent. to the offer of n premium to those who elthor preter to re- miatu at home or eannot atfurd ta go away.

HESING. A bill in chancery was filed In the Superior Conart Saturday afternoon In’ the name of A. O, Hesing, asking that Court to declare null and yoid the ordinance vacating that portion of La Salty ‘street lying botweon Jackson and Van Buren, to ordor the streot cleared of all obstacles that have been placed there by the act of taking possession, and to issue an injunction to prevent tho saying of any foundation or tho erection of any build. Ing on the vacated thoroughfare, ‘Tho reas sons on which he bases this oxtradrdinary petitlon are us follows _ 1, Because La Salle streek runs plong ono side of Court-Hlouse square and abuts on the Michigan Southern depot at the south end, claiming on that uccount that it Is an Indis- pensable thordughfare, | 2. Because 8 number of years ago the Comn- mon Councll passed an ordinance opening that part of the atreet which 1a now closed, aud at a later period assessed the ownerg of MONDAY, AUGUST I, 1881. adjoluing property for paving that block. 3, Because ho aljeges that ten Aldermen, who are uot named, were bribed by some- body (not named) to vote for tho vacating ordinance. , ‘Tho palpable tnsuMeloncy of those reasons may bo polnted out in very brief terms: 1. It fs ovidont that LaSalle street between Jackson and Van Buren is not indiapensi- bions a thoroughfare, beenuse the northern extension o£ the street runs alongsiite of the Court-Houso and the southern end was ex- tended to tho Michigan Southern Depot. Both Ly Sallostrect and Clark street will con- tinue to run alongside of the Court-Touse, the former to tha southern limits of the city and tho Inttor as far south a3 Jackson, where aturn ts mado to Sherman street on ono side and Vacifie aventio on the other, both these streets being widened and made more avall- abl} by tho vacating ordinance, As far ns thoroughfares go, the city will bo better supplicd under the new arrangement than It was before, 4. ‘Tho order of tho Council opening this block on Ln Salle street was the exercise of precisely tho samo power as the passage of the ordinaneo vacating {6 under the provis- fons of tho law, ‘Tho gonoral lnw of tho State for the vacation of streets, passed March 24, 1874, provides that “no city shat! have power to vacate or closa any strect or alley, orany portion of the same, except upon a three-fourths majosity of all the Aldermen of the city authorized by Inw to bo elected; such vote to be taken by yens and nays and recorded.’ It further provides that when property is damaged by tho vacation or clos- Jug of nny street or alley the snino shall bo ascertained and paid as provicted by Inw, If the Council neted Iawfully and properly tn opening the block In conformity with what Appenred to be tho publilo Interest at that dime, it was equally Inwful and proper to va- ente the street nt n subsequent period to pro- mote publie interests, As to any expendt- tire on this bleck by ownors of atjolning property, it fs sufMlctent to. say that all the owners of all the property atljoining the strest proposed to bo vacated consented to tho passage of the ordinance, and, a3 no pri- yato property is to be takon, the damages of tho complainants are remote, and are not of achnractor to be ascertalned under the Jaw of eminent domain, 3. Tre ‘Tamuss ts not Informed as to tho merlts of the bribery clinrge, and the allega- tlons on this point which Mr, Mesing’s bill sets forth are so vagie and Indeterminate that he has contributed no information to tho public or the Court which substantiates Nis charge. It isa fact, however, that the voto on the ordinance was 27 for and only 6 against, and even if ten Aldermen were bribed, as Hesing charges, there would have sull been a majority honestly in favor of It. Such a maiority would not have been suf ficient, under the law, to pass the ordinances but It denotes that, admitting all the bribery that is charged, the forea of public opinion and the sense of public Interest hind influ- enced a majority of the Council te favor the yaeation, Lf it is Mr, Hesing’s desire to pitn- ish corruption in the Councll, his proper procedure Isto go befora the Grand Jury with jils evidence and have the guilty Alder- mon, if any there be, Indicted. An nttempt to invalidate a luw on. general allegation that its passage was procured by bribery will hardly hold water.
