It is quite evident that our Monitors ‘will fulfil all the conditions for which they were designed. For example, even the most ‘skeptical must admit that they would tho- ughly protect the heart of the republic—the elty of New York—from any fleet which can be peut aguinst it. The whole fleet of nine vessels has cost the country but $3,600,000, which is $600,000 Less than the wiseacres of the bureaus of Engineering and Construction have recently Proposed to spend upon one iron-clad vessel, | constructed upon principles which experiments | have long sinee proved to be utterly inade- quate to meet the complicated conditions im- posed. The speed of the Monitors is sufficient for all purposes of defence; but woe be to the ifoe who is once sighted by the large Monitor Dictator, with her vast speed of above sixteen ‘knots, and ber 400 pound shot, propelled by up- Pash of cighty pounds of powder. Tue Ciry Ixspecror’s Annvan Revorr.—We @ublished a few days since an important, cla- ‘borate and carefully compiled annual report from the City {nspector’s Department, which ‘was sent to the Board of Aldermen. It con- ‘tains the number of deaths in the city durin; the past y the diseases, sex, nativity, color ‘and ages; also the number of marriages and births during that period. Marriages, 2,8963 births, 7,612; deaths, 21,244, City Inspector Delevan refers to the limited powers of his department, and suggests that the mortality of the city can be still more’ largely reduced by the passage of ordinances that would give to“ his department such facili- ties as he has for some years past solicited from the Common Council. He reports on and ‘suggests improvements regarding tenement houses, on i.nderground eellara, on the neglect- -e@d condition of streets in certain localities, and, in reference to the Hackley contract, Bays: — » During the two yeara for which tho contractor has « feceived full pay he has not done more than oto year’s actual work ia clewing the city, as the returus in this » department abundantly prove. Sub contr icting, injustice to laborers, tho yse of pubtic piers by the contractor, the sale of street minure, sewerage, land and house drainage, the great and increasing nuisance of slaughter houses, and the necessity for desig- pating the locations for livery stables and fat boiling establisuments, all claim the minute attention ani! suggestions of Colonel Delavan. This is one of the most important documents » that has issucl from the City Inspector's De- partmeat since its onerous duties were assum- ~ @d and so well fulfilled by the presoat incum- bent. The Common Council will no doubt attend to the suggestions of this public fune- ‘tionary, whose desire is to place the city of New York, not only in a sanitary point of view, Dut in all other respecis within his jurisdiction, » second to none of the old cities of Europe. Give him, a3 be asks, “a more enlarged discre- tion, and ample power to act upon emergen- + ies,” and while the discharge of his duties will ‘bo greatly facilitated the intercsts of the city will be immeasurably promoted. Ove Oxvyrvs Lives Bapty Reccrarep.— ‘Bince the publication of our firat article upon the subject of omnibuses our attention has ‘been called to several instances denoting the evil results of the mismanagements pointed out by us. The present system of paying the fares to the drivers, thereby distracting their atten- tion from their horses, must really cease, unless we wish o witness a continuance of such fearful accidents as havo beon related tous, For in- » stance, we are told of a lad of fifteen who ran into the street to stop a horse which was run- ‘ming away. ‘The boy succeeded in arresting the » furious speed of the frightened animal, and @aved from destruction the vebicle to which the horse waa atiiched, when at that moment the poor little fellow was knocked down by a pass- Ang omnibus ani crushed to death, the wheels passing over his body. The driver of the omni- ‘bus was not to blame, as he was making change for a passenzer in his vehicle. Now, had there been, ag there should always be, a conductor for that omnibus, the boy would not have been killed. The wonder is that more accidents of a Similar natuco do not occur at moments when the omnibus divers are busted receiving and Teadering moacy to the passengers. The superintendents of our omaibus lines must really take thi: matter into eonsideration, and Place a seat or stand on each omnibus for a | conductor, wliose special duty it shall be to at- tend to the passengers—the drivers being called upon to nttend merely to their horses: | which in itself isa hard enough matter in our | crowded thoroughfares. We shall then hear of | fewer dreadful avoidents, while the comfort of | ethose who patronize the omnibuses will be | greatly enhanced. | Sxwewe on Cunrrat Pank.—-The winter is Mow more (han half over, and as yot we have had but a few hours’ skating on the ice of the Cen tral Park. ‘The weather is now agaia becoming cold andthe suciace of the lakes congealed; | tharefore it beisoves the managers of that Park | ‘% took abou! them and do something whereby | | our citizens may enjoy their usual winter sport. | The ery has heea, “Give us ico;” bnt the prac- tice this season has also been to let the ice come and go withon! being used, for fear of spoiling ft for the winter. it is trae there have been Dreaks in the ice; but itis also true that the | onein the upper lake migit have been pre- wented had the keeper's station in the centre Deen remove. efore that building was erect- @4 the ice wat solid enough all over the pond; bat as 800 as it was put up the break of for- | mer winters made its appearange, Surely this — fe experience enough.

Retaliatory Proceedings of Our Government, ke, &e., &, Captured Union Oficers to be Regarded as Criminals. Bavrmore, Jan. 18, 1893. Advices from Fortress Monroe up to yesterday state that Colonel Ludlow, from City Point, says that all com missioned officers of the United States, captured after the 12th of January, will be handed over to tke Governors of the States where captured.

Wasitixaton, Jan, 18, 1863. Tho Geneval-in-Chief has issued orders to tho severa! army corpe of the United States not to release rebel offi cers on their parole. The following is a spocimea of tho order issued :—~ To Major General ScurNox:— No officers, prisoners of war, will be released on parole until further orders. H. W. HALLECK, General-in-Chief, ‘The cause of this order is, that a number of Union officers now in Richmond are kept in close confinement and not allowed to be paroled. The government having failed to effect an arrangement for the release of Union citizeus imprisoned in Southern jails, and tho robol authorities declining to recognize thom in any system of exchanges that has been proposed, it ia understood that enough of the known rebels in loyal States are to bo arrested to turnish exchanges for every one of tho Union men held as prisoners in the South.

THE ONS HUNDRED MILLION FREASURY NOTE BILL. ‘The joint resolution author! an additional tssae of United States notes only reached the President yester- day, aud cannot be signed and returned to the House be- fore Monday. SECRETARY CHASE AND THE COMMITTER AND MEANS, There is good authority for stating that the result of the couference between the Secretary of the Treasury and the sub-committee of the Commities of Ways and Mo.ns was a concession ou the part of the committee to ‘ho opinions of the Secretary in some most important particulara, among which was the agreement to leave out the convertibility and limitation clauses, to which the Secretary objected in his letter of explanation as to the delay in the payment of the arrearages due the army and wavy, and to authorize him to dixpose of the wix twenties upon the best terms at his discretion. THE RADICALS IN COUNCIL. A little while since this correspondence stated that Greeley had been sont for by thy radicals here, Last night a considerable number of the demonstrative set of radical Congressmeu met at the Capitol, and it is ucder- stood that the idea of early foreign intervention in behalf of the rebels was the bugaboo which was skilfully used by the wire pullers to make an impression that such changes in the leading positions, civil and military, must take place as to oust all conservatives. ‘This is tho alpha and omega of radical ideas, It involves the distribution of offices, and a monopolizing of profits under shoddy con traets. The question is, How will the adoption of Mr. Chase's project of taxing the banks affect the elections? So also of tbe Bankrupt bill and other great practical measures of remedial legislation, Rather than to hazard party ascendency temporarily, the radicals are wil- Lng to let the South go, as origivatly suggested by the Tribune faction. Greeley’s trailon this wire ts already geen here. He is talktag about the great number of peo. plo at the North that are for peace, and the growing | sympathy in New York for Jeff.

Tho invitation to the caveus ‘was not general.
