Improvements in New Required of the City Authorities. New York can be made and ought to be meade the most beautiful city in the world, Its sitnation and topography are unsurpassed, and, perhaps, not equalled. buy at its southern extremity and a few miles only from the broad Atlantic Ocvan, seems to have been designed by nature for this destiny. It is the outlet of the trade of a vas! continent and the commercial emporium of a mighty nation, Nature has done everything possible to mike this city well drained, well supplied with water, beaithful and beautiful, Nor is there wanting wealth, public spirit and ambi- tion enough to accomplish all this, We only need ability and taste in the men who are in power, The Legislature bas given under the new Charter ample authority to the city gov- ernment to make New York what it ought to be. Will those having control of the matter understand the work before them and that is expected from them? That is the question, Taat has to be seen. The action of the French government, in negotiating a loan to complete the improve- nents in Paris commenced by Baron Hauss- mand, has suggested thoughts applicable to this city. No doubt an enormous sum of money was spent by Baron Haussmann, under the direction of the Emperor Napoleon, in beaati- fying Paris, Some complaints were made of t.is, too, and there was a temporary suspen- sion of the grand improvements projected in consequence. But now, we learn, the work of beautifying the great capital is to be con- tinued, The Parisians have learned, no doubt, that every dollar spent in this way brings five or more to their pockets. The more attractive Paris is made the more will people from all parts of the world be drawn to that city. The increased business, enhanced value of pro- perty and the millions of money spent by visi- ors pay over and over again the expenditures for improvements. So it would be with New York if our city government should show -imilar taste and sagacity. But, as was said, we must have men of comprehensive views, culture and taste to accomplish this object. Ward and grogshop politicians are not the men. The curse of New York in this respect has been in having such grovelling and narrow-minded men in power. To be a smart politician or a pretty sood stump speaker has been regarded as the cbhi2f or only qualification for office. Now, however, we have a new régime in the city, and among those in authority many gentlemen of refinement, large views and taste. The first step is to lay a good foundation fora com- prehensive plan of improvements and to avoid the jobs of rings and pretenders, which spoil everything. Let the ablest scientific men and men of artistic culture and taste be consulted and employed. Let not either the plans or the execution of public works be left to pretenders ov the ignorant. The people of this country have been too careless about this, and the consequence has been that New York, Wash- ington and many other of our cities have been defaced by the most wretched abortions of art. Stilt there is no lack of talent and taste in the commun ty to plan and execute the finest works if those in power will employ the men who possess these qualifications, We mean here public buildings or otber architectural works, the docks and solid elevated railroads, a3 well as the ornamentation of the parks, works of fine art and opening of streots and avenues, A great deal depends, too, upoa the taste dis- played ta placing works of art and public structures and in opening broad avenues from one point to another. Any one who has Leen ia Paris knows how tastefully the monuments and fine public buildings are placed and how magnificently they loom up to view from every point. We have heretofore followed the bad taste of the English in the location of works of art, monuments and public buildings, by placing them in some corner or destroy.ng the view by other structures, There have been some improvements made in the streets and some are now going on which indicate more taste aad give us hope in. the future. The grand Boulevard, which com- mences at the corner of Filty-ninth streot and Eighth avenue, and which is to go round the upper part of ths island, bezias to assume shape. Jodging from the work already accom- plisbed, and from the mannor ia which it is done just above Fifiy-niath street, this will be one of the most magaificeat thoroughfares and drives in the world. It will be as smooth as the roads in the Park, having a deep and solid foundation and a hard pressed concrete surface. It has two wide carriage ways, with @ space between for promonading, and a row of shade trees and a wide sidewalk on euch side. There are a large number of men at work on diferent sec- tions, which shows that the city authorities are doing their duty here. Then, there is the upper portion of Sixth avenue, as far as Fifiy- ninth street, which is a credit to this great city. It is delightful to ride over the smooth and clean wood pavement, and very many of those driving to and from the Ceutral Park go round some disiance for the pleasure of riding over this part of Sixth avenue, The improvement of property on this avenue, as is seen by the rows of handsome stores and houses built and going up, pays over and over aguin the cost of paving. We are passing out of the cobble stone age. Some years hence we sball look back upon this. rough and destructive pave- ment with surprise that it existed so long, We suall xegard it as bclonging to a former rude period, as we do tle fossil remains of the Mega- losaurus. Why do not the city authorities discard the cobble stone on our beautifal Fifth aveuue, as they did that wretched composition put down a short time since, and take the best wood pavement known? The ablest scientific men among us say that the wood pavement re- cently put down in Maiden lane is more dura- ble than the hardest stone. It is laid upon a principle that makes it solid and immovable, while it admits of the most perfect drainage, and is easily removed when necessary for lay- ing gas and water pipes, or for making sewers, The merchants and property holders there are delighted with it. In San Francisco and other places where it has been well tested theeople will not have any other laid. It is unnecessary to mention the saving in the wear and tear of horsefiesh and vehicles, for every one will com- prehend this. Why should we not have on all | our streois, or at least on all the principal Manhattan Isiand, with a splendid river on eac side and the finest water front, with a magnificent crats, bonds five per cent recoived the same vote, with the addition of Mr. Fenton, who had previously of such a measure, to amend so as to retain the tax on gross receipts, the striking out of the income tax rendering the continuance of other taxes necessary. This amendment was also rejected. In the evening session the vote striking out the income tax was, reconsidered, and Mr. Wilson moved to amend by continuing the tax until the ond of 1872 at the rate of two and a half per cent, which was agreed to, The ques- tion then being on striking out the income as amended, the Senate refused to strike it out, thus restoring the tax.

Bat for the convenience of travel for the mass of our business men and the people up and down town, we want solid elevated rail- roads, with steam power, The horse cars and omnibuses are altogether too slow and incon- venient, The crowds seeking passage by them at ceriuia Cimes of the day are so great that it is a positive torture to ride in them. No amount of horse car accommodation ean supply the want, which is increasing from day today. Besides, the time consumed in going from one part of the city to the other is far (oo much and exhausting to the active community of New York. Then the want of this accom- modation is driving a large population over the rivers to New Jersey and Long Islaud, which is a great loss and damage to the city. Such solid elevated railroads, on arches, could be made ornamental, and would add to the beauty of the city. With magnificent stone piers, wharves and docks, with splendid mar- kets in the rig it places, with improved paved streets, with broad avenues cut through the lower portion of the city where needed, with our grand Boulevard round the upper portion of the island, with our beautiful Cen- tral Park, with superb elevated railroads and other improvements, what city in the world, in a few years, could be compared with New York? Let us hope that the new municipal authorities will have the sense, taste and public spirit to carry out these much needed and grand works, The city, business, property holders and the whole community would gin by it, and the men in power would acquire lasting fame, Congress-Taxing Interest on Government Bonds—The Funding Bill, Daring the consideration of the Tax bill by the Senate yesterday the proposition to tax tho interest on government bonds was re- sumed, Mr. Bayard arguing that only in this manner could certain species of property be reached which had no claim to exemption from taxation. The republican Senators generally combated the proposition as direct repudiation, as unconstitutional and dishonor- able, and as being an effort to create an income tax discriminating against government bonds. The amendment was lost by a vote of 12 yeas to 36 nays, Messrs. Fowler, Pratt, Spencer and Sprague voting ‘‘aye” with the demo- An amendment to tax incomes from in favor Mr. Sherman moved expressed himself tax The advent of our national holiday has aroused the indignation of our orators and statesmen against the British lion, and that animalmust prepare for his annual flagellation. Among the earliest champions in the field is General Batler, who yesterday offered in the House a severely bellicose resolution request- ing the President to demand of the British government under what pretence of right, or under whose orders, American fishing vessels have been arrested and detained while cruis- ing in Canadian waters. The resolution was adopted, and accordingly the public will soon be afflicted with an unconscionably long cor- respondence between the two governments on the fishery question. The Funding bill being under consideration, Mr. Holman, of Indiana, moved to amend the fourth section by provid- ing that the five-twenty bends shall be paid in greenbacks, Happily, this proposition met with little encouragement, and was rejected by a vote of 42 yeas to 128 nays—four republicans voting in favor of the amendment and six democrats against it. An important amendment was agreed to prohibiting the Se- cretiry of the Treasury from using other funds for the redemption of five-twenty bonds except such as be may lawfully apply to such purpose or which may be derived from the sale of four per cent bonds. General Butler endeavored to get in an amendment prohibiting the re- demption of securities before maturity, unless at such time greenbacks shall be at par; but he House rejected the proposition by twenty- four majority. General Butler also endeavored to have stricken out the fifth section, which authorizes the Treasurer to receive gold on deposit and issue therefor certificates bearing three percent interest. Mr. Schenck defended the section, as containing the most important provision of the bill and as being essen- tial to its operations. If adopted the ultimate effects would be *a general rise of government obligations to par and return to specie payments, Mr. Schenck informed the House that no reasonable doubts could be entertained of the ability of the government to | Hence the more surprising becomes the perse- dispose of the four per cent bonds, as assur- ances had been received withia a few days from French bankers of their readiness to take the bonds if they were of the character pro- vided for in the first section of the bill.

Lord Palmerston was ence asked by an acquaintanse what he thought of the Sebles- wig-Holstein question, since he was the only Individual living who had the reputation of understanding it. ‘Ab! my friend,” replied his !ordship, with a slightly perceptible grim- ace, “there was one other person who com- prehended that affair; but be is dead, and, ‘pon my word, | have forgotten how the matter does stand!"

On Thursday night a demonstration was made in one of the city parks, intended to declare and show the bitter opposition of the workingmen of this city to the further importation of Chineso labor. If the mechanics of this country are opposed to the coming of the Chinese, the Chinese will come all the same, and the workingmen will by and by discéver that they were mistaken in opposiay. There- fore if the workinen are against the new comer that is no reason why he should be kept out; but we do not soe that the opposi- tion of the workingman is shown, This meeting of Taursday night did not show it. In the first place the workmen were not tnere, save in numbers utterly inadequate for an expression of general opivion from them on an exciling topic. From this one fact that the workingman stays away his indifference is clear. He does not care about the Chinaman's coming. He leaves the subject to men who mike a trade of agitation, and these men who the Grand Signor against the forays and attacks of the older date Hungari, since 1828, although recogni! of mediate sovereignty in the it has virtually ceased to part of his dominions. By the treaty of Adrianople the Hospodars or local native princes were restored to their full powers. But by the treaty of Paris, concluded March 30, 1856, and the Convention of August 19, 1858, between the European Powers, the duchies of Moldavia and Wallachia were brought under the sway of one prince, each, however, retaining its special administration and local legislation, and both together regu- lated by a sort of central commission, which met at the town of Foktchany, onthe boundary line of tho two principalities, In 1859 they became more thoronghly consolidated, and of late years the whole region, embracing the two former duchies, has been known by the general title of Roumania, accordiag to the proclamation of their unioa made at desire to make a political issue with the Bucharest and at Jassy, on the 23d | workingman’s vote behind them morely of December, 1861, ‘The reigning Hos- | assume to speak on his behalf.

Congress cannot do it, Congress cannot even take exception to the fact that these laborers come to us on a con- tract system ; for it is simply silly ignorance to argue that this constitutes slavery, To fact, this opposition to the Chinese is on avery small basis of reason, and we are of opinion that they who make it will by and by be abie to shake hands with the silly peopie who once supposed that the coming of the Irish and Germans was to reduce wages, or that the making of shoes in State prisons was to degrade the noble art ‘and mystery of boring holes with an awl and driving electoral colleges of the various districts. The superficies of United Roumania is 2,197 geographical square miles, and the population about 4,600,000 by the latest official report for 1867, The same document gives an estimate of 47,930 Roman Catholics, 29,040 Protestants and 208,630 Israelites, the remaining popula- tion being Greek Catholics, with a sprinkling of Mohammedans. During the past ten years there has been a heavy influx of Jews from Russia and of Bulgarians from Turkey, and the rapid growth of the former in wealth and in- fluence has been the cause of bitter jealousy and heartburning among the older inhabitants.

It has about four thousand five hundred in- habitants and is quite noted for its trade fairs, It enjoys considerable traffic in cattle, wool, wine, wax, tobacco and honey, and the Jewish residents are particularly active in every branch of commerce and amass wealth rapidly, In the earlier time, and, indeed, until the singular persecutions of the past year, Rou- mania has been peculiarly liberal to all sects, and especially to the Jews. She afforded them a shelter from the horrible oppressions of the Middle Ages, as she did to the Protest- ants who fled from Germany after the down- fall of John Huss, Article forty-six of the Convention of 1858 guarantees equal liberty to all Christian creeds, with the faculty of its legislative extension to all other rites. This extension wag one of the glories of the consti- tution of 1866, as we understand it, and under these dispositions the Israelites have increased in number to four hundred thousand souls in Roumania in 1870, with one hundred and seventy-six synagogues. In France, with thirty-nine million inhabitants, there are but one bundred and sixty thousand Jews, and in the British Islands, with thirty millions, only gradation of labor or the laborer has taken place. It will be with the Cainaman as it bas been wiih the others. He will tread on no man’s toes. He will only stand on ground that was unoccupied before. He will simply help us to cover more acros, He will con- tribute to the growih of the country. He makes shoes to-day at a price at which white men refuse to make them. He will take at first to what white men refuse; but when he gets a foothold he will develop the industries that he learned at home. All our emigrants at first earned their bread at the trades they found in existence here; but when they have looked about them a little they have discovered that the trade that employed their hands at home was not introduced here, though there was an excellent market for the product of that industry, which perbaps was bought and sold at a high importer's price. Upon this hint the Italian, the German, the Switzer, the French- man have gone quietly to work, and presently it has dawned upon the pub- lic that a new industry was flourishing in our midst. By this very means the variety of occupation has been greatly enlarged among us,.and in this way, more than in any other, has emigration enriched the couatry. Chinese emigration will operate in a similar manner, only that the new occupatious that will thus come in will greatly sarpass in num- ber, variety and originality all those that have come from all other countries; for China is richer than all the world toget her in the indus tries that relate to the comforts, conveniences and economies of life. We, and not the Chinese, are the parties who will profit most by the Asiatic advance. From these statistics it is quite apparent that the Jews must have been invited to Roumania by superior inducements and there cherished. cution which, as the account given in our translation from the Neue Freie Presse (New Free Press) of Austrian Vienna shows, has been systematically carried on for some months past. On this subject there has been a vehement discussion in the Paris press, sustained on the one side by M. Crémienx, the Tue Presipent’s Larver ApvoinrMgnTs.— President Grant, among other nominations, sent to the Senate yesterday ihe following :— Noah Davis, to be United Siates Attorney for the Southern district of New York; Thomas Hillhouse, to be Assisiant Treasurer, and Thomas Murphy, to be Col'ccicr of the Port, in place of Moses H. Grinnell, who is nomi- nated for the position of Naval Officer. Way Mr. Grinnell is to be transferred from one position to the other it is hard to say, During the administration of the duties of his office he has discharged the trust confided to his care with fidelity to the government, satisfaction to the commercial community of the city and honor to himself. Rep Crocp’s visit to his Great Father appears to have somewhat nottled the noble savage, It is believed that he is preparing for the warpath and that he will indulge his native talent in cultivating scalp locks to its fullest extent, General Sheridan reports the posts on the frontier to be in wretched condi- tion and incapable of protecting the country from the inroads of the savages. A tilt on the Plains between Little Pil aud Red Cloud appears inevitable the Israelite Alliance, aided by a M. Haendlé, andon the other by Mr. Héliade Radulesc, a literary ability, The former published and circulated the exciting telegrams recently given concerning the supposed massacre, and the latter, while not denying the maltreatment to which the Jews have been lately subjected, attempts to palliate it by declaring that they are demoralizing and ruining Roumania by their speculations, After a most careful and impartial study of all the facts that have reached us from the most abundant sources we can in justice come nia have been disgraced by the events at Botu- schany, The idea that in this day Israelites be sct upon becanse thoy are such is not to be entertained for & moment.

We publish to-day a call for an Annexation Convention, to be held at Nia sara Falls on the Fourth of July—Monday next, Tho better the day the better the deed, Although this Convention is called for the purpose of pro- moting the cause of Canadian annexation te the United States, yet it may be regarded as a twin movement in connection with that for the independence of the Dominion from the rule of Great Britain, From the tone of the royal press it is plain that this independence project spriags from no temporary or ephemeral impulse of the people. The earnest cries for “ind pendence” uttered at the fate meeting in Monireal—a meeting called for another, if not an entirely opposite purpose— iffords evidence of that fact; aad the nervous attempts of the royal press to belittle or ridicule the affair only display their own weakae1s and give more atrengih and confidence to the men whe shout for “independence.” The fact is, the people of Canada are every day growiig more and more disgusted with the home goverameat, in consequence of the maxner in which their appeals for assistanos have been treated. Even one of the littl provinces away up oa the Atlantic coast, it appears, was not too insignificant to recsive an admonition such a3 a gouty old father would give to a lusty young son, from Earl Granville, just becausa it wanted a few soldiers to protect public property. Jf these appeals coatioue it would not bo surprising if stingy andirascible old Joho Bull sho .ld fiaal'y resolve to tell these persistent and poverty- stricken ofSprings to begone from his house- hold forever and cut them off withvut a shilliag, Svriousty, the clonds thit begin to surround the experime rt ‘of carrying on a government for the Do- minion of Canada look portentous, Tucy will coptinne to “gather, gather,” until they overwaelm tho entire firmament, and then the glorions rays of ‘‘independeace” will come like a sun vurst emid the darkness and afford to the people of Canada, with tue new light, the blessings of Liberty, peace and prosperity. ‘The French Army Coutinzent.

Napoleon’s Cabinet asks for nine hundred thousa 1d mon instead of one hundred thousaud—the la ter the number which has been piaced at the disposal cf the Emperor of late years. One hund. ed thousand men more or less, particularly when iascribed on paper only, would appear a mere trifle to the greatest of the military nativns of the Od or coming to comprehend the economics both of human life aad industrial produc.ion more clearly every day, an@ hence the objection to the one man rule demand for the sustain- World a few years since. the French people are, France, however, ment of the war force system. The objec- tions of the people are arzued sharper. and more sharply yearly, explanations are required from the goverament, and eventually Franca will be forced by public opinion to lower her war ergles and turn her sword into a pruning hook, This contingent vote debate does not show much, however, as it is part of a measure which ‘a absolutely necessary in order to rerulae the tiliitary draft contingent of the nation—a nation which matures soldiers in guch large numbers yearly, A Goop Sian.—By refereaca to reports elsewhere it will b» seen that the Board of Health has repented of its past folly, owned ita past errora, bas opened a new paze in its ledger, and that, its members evidently have decided, shall be one ‘‘witiout spot or blen- ish.” Yesterday, with a powerful fat-meliing interest present, it unanimously voted down all propositions to give these nuisances a dy of grace, and when Commissioner Ceccarini ‘submitted an ordinance to obliterate the nuisance for all time it weat through without opposition, thoush not without coasidaravle loz-rolling. Strange to say, the veterans of the old and imbecile Board, Bosworth, Bren- nan and Manierre, fell into liae for the first time and voted for the utter extineiion of the nuisance, Tho action of the Bovrd of Health yesterday is creditabie to that body and its distinguished presidext, wo has at length learned that thors is bebind the Board’ of which he is the head a power he and his asso- ciates must not disregard, i Ong or THe OLD Sort or Lazor Move- MENTS—That at Killarney, in Ireland, yester- day—the foolish attempt of a body of agricultu- ral workingmen to desiroy a number of mowing machines. ‘The attempt failed and gthe rioters were dispersed. We had supposed that these experiments of laboring men to suppress labor-saving machines were loag ago eaded, but we were mistaken, Nor are we sure that this conflict against labor-saving machines is over even in this country, though we hope so; because we hold that such machines area benefit to the whole community, including par- ticularly the working classes, Look, for in- stance, at the sewing machine. It does the work of ten needles by hand, and yet it has ten times multiplied the work for sewing girls, Considered in this view, the working classes have everything to hope from all these inven- tions which lighten and diminish labor; and if men are thrown out of employmeat by mowing machines in freland there is atill ample room and employment for willing hands in America. Tox Nationa Dest—Twenty-Eienr Mri- LIoNS Repvction IN Jung.—The public debt stateme.t for July 1, 1870, is one of the most remarkable exhibits yet presented from the Treasury Department. The reduction in the national debt during the past month was over $20,000,000, according to the figures of Mr, Boutweil, who, in the calculation, makes allowance for the accrued interest, The re- duction in actual figures, however, is over $28,000,000, The redaction of the debt dure ing the fiscal year 1869-70 was $108,952,410. The coin balance in the Treasury is now $112,776,048, against which there is $34,547,120 of outstanding g>!d cert ficates. The currency balance is $28,945,067. With ® reduction of nearly $109,000,000 during the past year it ia casy to account for the advance in the prices of fve-twen ies abroad and ai bome and for the failure of the Boyd- Ketakum speculators for a cise in cold.
