=o been tied by the stupid and ruinous legislation of Congress, and though he was unable to con- trol the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, he did attempt todo what he could to probe and stop the frauds. He sent Mr. Binckley, the ‘Solicitor of the Treasury Department, to New York, this hotbed of internal revenue rascals, for that purpose. But what was ‘the result? Mr. Binckley met with intense hostility from all ~sides, and even from the very officers of the government, whose duty it was to aid him in the good work. A hornet’s nest was raised around him immediately on his arrival, and he had to return to Washington, stung by the most opprobrious abuse, We learn from Wash- ington that the President has determined to send him here again to act in conjunction with Judge Fullerton and Mr, Guttman to probe the matter of frauds and the management of the internal revenue service ‘thoroughly. It is ‘said also that the sub-committee of the Re- trenchment Committee of Congress will make an investigation; but looking to the former in- efficient action of that committee when it met at the Astor House and at its political char- acter we have little hope from that quarter. Let the President see to it, then, that the whole of this internal revenue rascaliiy and mismanagement be thoroughly investigated ; for he cin do that if he cannot control the Commissioner or his subordinates, Although the rings of defrauders are very powerful and have millions of dollars to use for defeating such an object, it is to be hoped Messrs. Binck- ley, Fullerton and Guttman may be above their influence and will fearlessly expose the crimes and rottenness of the whole system. Peter Cooper and Our Piers and Wharves— Picayune Reformers. Peter Cooper and the Citizens’ Association have recently made their annual reappearance in the city papers and are busily engaged in getting up a controversy with some of the heads of the city departments in regard to the man- agement of our piers and wharves, public markets, &c., and the amount of money ex» pended annually on repairs. The Citizens’ Association has hitherto been regarded asa sort of philanthropic reformatory society, organized for- the protection of the taxpayers and standing entirely aloof from and inde- pendent of politics, It is unfortunate, there- fore, that all these alleged discoveries of ex- travagance, mismanagement and frauds should be made on one side and just about the time of election, and that during the remainder of the year their voices should never be heard in behalf of municipal reform. But giving Peter Cooper and his associates all credit for honesty of purpose in their annual tilts against the city departments, we feel impelled to say that they take a very contracted view of the subjects of which they treat and waste much valuable time, @ great amount of labor and an unnecessary quantity of manifold paper upon very insig- nificant matters, Everybody conversant with our city affairs is aware that our piers and wharves are in a disgraceful condition and wholly inadequate to the wants of commerce. But it is very well known that the fault lies with those who fail to appreciate the necessity of making the piers and wharves what they should be in the great commercial emporium of the New World, and not with the officers who are charged with the care and management of 8 lot of dilapidated, broken down structures unfit for use and only to be rendered available for ordinary business purposes’ by constant patchwork and tinkering. The city of New York is rapidly becoming the centre of the commerce of the whole world, as it has already begun to take its position as the centre of the news of the world. The great railroad to the Pacific will soon be in operation and will pour its tribute into the lap of the metro- polis, Ship canals, connecting lakes and oceans now separated from each other, will bring new fiects to our docks. The vast Chinese empire, opening to the outside world her great wealth and trafic, will find her prin- cipal mart in New York. If the Citizens’ Association is honest in its desire to advance the prosperity of the city it should demand that a hundred million dollars be raised and expended in building magnificent granite docks along our whole water front, commensurate with the magnitude of the growing commerce of the port and creditable to the wealth and progress of the age, This is the sort of reform we need, and this is the policy that would enrich the corporation and lighten the burden of the taxpayer, The ultimate value of our piers and wharves is inconceivable. The city should own them all, without reservation, and should by a liberal and princely expenditure make them worthy of the great commercial emporium of the world. When citizens’ asso- ciations or any combinations of picayune reformers and political adventurers undertake to fritter away time about a few feet of lumber, more or less, used in repairing a lot of rotten wooden docks, or an extra hundred dollars paid to an unnecessary employé, they engage in a very small business and show their inca- pacity to grasp the subject in its full propor- tions, Efforts have been made on several occasions to improve the condition of our ‘piers and wharves, but they have invariably been de- feated by professed reformers who have failed to get a finger in the pie, Last winter a well considered bill was introduced in the Legislature appointing a committee” to reconstruct all our docks of stone, or such other matcrial as they might deem proper. The committee embraced the ‘Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, who are the trastees and custodians of the property, and an equal num- ber of the members of the Chamber of Com- merce, to be designated at a full meeting of that body, who would have looked after the interests of commerce in the contemplated work. It was proposed that bonds should be issued from year to year for the purposes of the improvement, maturing by instalments and at such dates that the accumulations from the increased rents might pay the debt instead of making it an immediate burden upon the people. This would have been, in fact, a relief to our taxpayers at this time, since the amount raised for patching up our present dilapidated piers is assessed upon them at once and is, after all, thrown away. But the managers of the Citizens’ Association op posed and defeated the bill because they could not control the work it contemplated. We have, Qhorefore, very little faith in the pretended ‘forts of the Association towards reform in this direction, and we advise Peter Cooper to sign no more of their manifold letters. They are very picayune affairs, and if designed as political campaign documents they are not worth the paper they are written on. When our citizens look a hundred years ahead and picture our city, with its enormous commerce, its fleets of shipping stretching round the island and its twenty millions of people, they begin to regard political contests with indiffer- ence and to think it a matter of very little moment which party comes out ahead. AMUSEMENTS. WALLACK’s,—The opening night of Wallack’s theatre for the present season, with many of the old company and a few new ones, was the occasion of a partial ovation. Perhaps there was rarely so select, fashionable and intellectual an audience present at Wallack’s as that which assembled there last night. The attraction was not so much the announcement of two new pleces as the opportunity which the re- opening of this theatre for its regular winter season afforded the habitués to renew old associa- tions which have become so familtar and plea- sant at this house, The first piece was @ light one act drama by Watts Phillips, entitled “Simon Bernard,” a military piece, embrac- ing a good deal of the sensational and spectacular in its arrangement and not wantingin some taking tableaux. The costuming is excellent and historic, the uniform of the old Imperial Guard being care- fuily reproduced, The scenery requires a word of praise for its freshness and the skill with which it is executed, The second piece of the evening had more pretension. It wasa three act play by H. J. Byron—“Dearer Than Life’—which fully complied with the promises of the bill, wherein it was set forth as a play of strong domestic and dramatic in- terest. There is very little in the plot, although the drama is well constructed; but such as it is it was well given by John Gilbert, Stoddart, Young, Mr. Peck, Miss Mestayer and Mrs. Ciara Jen- nings. There are many excellent comic points in the play and one or two rather touching scenes, which would be better if the use of pockethandkerchiefs was not quite so frequent. The story is long drawn out and waxes tedious, but it may run a weck or two. “Simon Bernard” is perhaps one of the best late in its way that.have been put on the boards at Waliack’s in some time. Mr. J. W. Wallack, who takes the leading part, is especially good as the Old Guard, and will make a fine character of it as he gets more familiar with the part. The weight of the i iece fails upon him, and we need not say that he is fully able to sustain it. A pleasant episode in the performance of last night was the co! il reception accorded to all the old favorites, each of whom was received, on his or her appearance, with marks of peas! recognition. Another agreeable event was jue speech of the manager. At the close of the first piece Mr. Lester Wailack, being loudly called for, came forward, and when the applause with which he was received subsided said:— LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—Allow me to thank you for this very warm reception and to tender you my respectful greetings on the opening of a new season. If I am yd With health and strength 1t will be my pleasant duty for the ext few months to eater for your. amisement, and that dut I shall assuredly perform {o the best of my ability. I shall make no special promises, for Tain vain enough to think that tho past of Wallack’s theatre may be taken as a guarantee of its future. (Great ap) Good plays represented and illustrated by, good artiste fs the beginning and end of my system, and I make bold to think that system will be encourdged by those indulgent friends who have so long endorsed and supported it. (Applause.) For the kind man- ner in which you have received those artists who have a) eared thfsevening, I beg in thelr names, to tender my ac- nowledgments, and I know it is hardly necessary for me to (Stkers) Wilh these fow observations T wish you, ladiee and cers. w observations I wi an gentlemen, respectfully, good night. ie Both pieces performed last night will be repeated. SrapT THEATRE.—At this theatre last night Mr. Herman Hendricks appeared as Struensee in Michel Beers’ celebrated drama of the same name, the subject of which is taken from Danish history. The greeting with which Mr. Hendricks was received, and the applanse accorded to his splendid persona- tion of the character of Struensee throughout the piece, proved that the public fully appreciate bis vat ability, This was further evidenced by the fact that a large portion of the audience was com- sed of that class of our German citizens and their families who are seldom or never seen within the walls of a theatre. In the last act the fallen minis- ter’s interview with his reverend father was a grand iece of acting. Miss Irschik as the ee assisted ir. Hendricks very ably. The Queen Dowager (Miss Singer) 1s less to be commended. z. BROOKLYN ACADEMY OF Music.—A genial wel- come was extended the Florence troupe in our sister city last evening by an audience that crowded every portion of this spacious place of amusement. The graceful recognition was merited, as the comedy of “Caste,” with Mr. and Mrs. Florence, supported by Mrs, Chanfrau, Madame Ponis, Davi Owen, Mar- lo nd Lamb, was seldom so exquisitely rendered, ‘The vacation which some of these artists have had during the past month has been of essential service, giving thei vim and en increases their Tiany professional excellencies. In this quiet pic- ture of real life there is required to make It success- ful a strong combination—strong in the liar fit- ness of each person for the part assumed—and that is recognized in the present troupe. “Caste” will be given again to-night. OUR NEW MUNSTER TO THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC. General M. T. McMahon, recently appointed Minis- ter to the Argentine Republic, sailed, accompanied by his family, yesterday, for his new field of opera- tions, in the steamship Mississippi, for Rio Janeiro. Prior to his departure a large concourse of his friends assembled at the steamship pier to bid him farewell and God speed on his mission; as the lines of the steamer were cast off the feeling exhibited by many of the General's friends betokened the high regard in which he was held, and which not only extends to his social associates but also to a host of men in public life. General McMahon was a lawyer when the late rebellion broke out, practicing in the courts of California, but abandoned his profession- for that of a soldier in the Unton army, in which he served with great credit to himself during the entire rebellion. He was severally attached to the staff of Generals Hooker and Dix. In November, 1865, ho was admitted to practice at the bar of New York, and in December of the same year was appointed Corporation Counsel of New York, which position he held until honored with his present office. Gene- ral McMahon ts @ gentleman of scholarly attain- ments, and has for some time past been a close stu- deut of the relations of the United States with the South American republics, and has observed with great care the different stages of the present war be- tween Brazil and her auies pqains' it Paraguay.

They report that on the morning of the 17th the Andians tried to rua off @ portion of Colonei Forsyth’s stock, and half an hour latey three or four hundred appeared on the bluils $wo miles off and made a dash for the camp. Colonel Forsyth, having only fifty men, crossed them toasmaliisiand. The Indians commenced Gring on him, which they kept up steady and fast until eleven o'clock, after’ which only scattering shots untif three o’clock, when they agaim opened a steady fire with increased force. Their pumber was estimated then at about 700, The fight was kept up in this manser until about sundown, when the Indians made a desperate charge to take the camp, but were un- successful. They, however, kept up the fight until elevor o'clock, at which time the scouts left for Fort Wallace to obtain assistance. They were obliged to crawl two miles on their hands and knees through the Indians to get out, At daylight they heard fring back at camp, seven miles away, and occasional shots all day. The casualties are:—Colonel Forsyth, left leg broken by a ball and shot through the right thigh; Lieutenant Beecher, shot in several places and supposed to be dying, as his back was broken. He begged his men to kill him, Dr. Moore was shot in the head. Two were killed and twenty were wound- ed. All the stock of the command was killed and the men are living on horseflesh, The scouts had only one and a half pounds to last them into Fort Wallace. The party had sixty-flve rounds of ammu- nition left, and were fortifying. The scouts could not travel at night, on account of danger from In- dlans, they being seen every day. On learning of Colonel Forsyth’s condition Lieutenant Bankhead, commanding this post, sent out 100 men with provi- sions and ammunition to his relief, and also sent scouts to Colonel Carpenter, who was supposed to be about forty-five miles west of here with his company, to proceed to Colonel Forsyth’s assistance. Ms General Nichols has just arrived (eight P. Mf.) from Fort Reynolds and reports that Lieutenant Beecher ig dead. Dr. Monroe is mortally wounded and ts dying, and Colonel Forsyth is nearly as bad, All are lying there, with the Indfins all around them, eating their horseflesh and waiting for relief.
