Tatil Tweep and Sweeny tell their man O'HALL whom to appoint under the new charter, and he acts, we are in a condition of substantial anarchy. The police force is fortunately preserved by the new charter, On the other hand, the preeent Fire Department is wiped out. There are no Commissioners and no firemen, No one has any authority to extinguish fires. New York has no Health Department, except for the purposes of suits already commenced, though the Metropolitan Board of Health continues for the rest of the district, But notics, relapsing fever, and Dr. Iannis cease to be metropolitan. The Excise Board apparently remaing, as the charter says noth- ing about that, Can any one tell us whether the Fire Marshal continues in existence ? Will Tween and Sweeny make O'HALL act promptly ? As their nominations do not tequire to be confirmed, they have no reason fordelay, Or must they walt till the blun- ders and defects of the new charter are rem- vdied by a newer one? These blunders and defects aro namerous, A bill to correct thtm is already in preparation ; but it is to be hoped that our new rulers will not wait NU it is passed before ending the anarchy that fs already upon us. ——— The Retribution in Store for the Ree publicans. The Republicans in the Assembly sus- tained the previous question on the final passage of the Twrep charter, and thus eut off all amendments and etitled all discussion, on the alleged ground that they were in favor of having the charter carefully examined and radically amended after the Dill reached the Senate. Thus Messrs, Hu- eTED, LitrLesoun, ALVorD, and their Re publican associates preserved the charter in- tact in the Assembly, and fulfilled their part of the Republican contract with the Ring. The bill then went to the Senate, secom- panicd with the profuse promises aud solemn pledges of the Republicans of the Assembly that it should be thoroughly discusted and radically amended by their political brethren in. the Upper House. When the bill came under consideration in the Senate, debate upon it was hooted at by the Republican Scnators, and all amendments were voted down amid jeers and derisive laughter, every Republican, with ono honorable ex- ception, going solidly against them. Thus Mesers, Panken, Kennepy, Wooprs, and their Republican associates preserved the charter intact in the Senate, and fulfilled thelr part of the Republican contract with the Ring. We think it would be difficult to find anything in the annals of legislation in this country more infamous than these proceed- ings. But ont of to much evil there will epring some good, The course of the Republicans in the Legislatare has killed their party in the State stonedead, It may make an effort next fall, for form's sake, to appear in the elec- tion ; but the Assembly will be decisively car- ried by the Democrats, and the Republican candidate for Governor will be beaten by fifty thousand majority. Independent Republi- cans all through the State, though they may refuse to go over to the Democracy, will bolt the Republican ticket by regiments, brigades, and divisions, This is so obvious that the Democrats will see that there need be no cheating at the November election to enable them to carry the State by over- whelming figures, and 80, for the mere look of the thing if from no higher motive, it is possible that they may give the people the most honest election they have witnessed in ten years, In this indirect mode some good may come out of the bargain and sale of the Repub- licans in the Legislature, Nevertheless , they and their party will be swept from the political arena in November by a storm of popular indignation thet will be memorable in the history of New York. ——____ Progress of the Cuban Revolution, We received yesterday by the Cuban cable advices which had reached Havana from Mexico, St. Domingo, and Venezuela; but on 4 subject of far more importance, namely, what is going forward in Cuba, an absolute silence is maintained. Inasmuch as news must have reached Havana of many military operations since any accounts whatever have been vouchsafed, it is but natu to infer that tho Spaniards who control this American calde have no news which they care about making known, This very natural conclu. tion is supported by all late telegrams from the island, The purpore of the visit of the Captain- General to Pucrto Principe was etated to be of @ campaign from that 1 finally wipe out the insur- gents. This at least was the plan which wag promulgated abroad ; the truth, however, has leaked out in Havana. It seems that at tho meeting of the Spanich Club in that city on the 23d ult, it was uvaniwously resolved that “if a republic was established in Spain, or if either the ecetion, sale, indepeudence, or self-government of Cuba were decided apon, they would raise the banner of seces. slop from } n, and proclaim [sARETTA Ins Que This resolu modified into a determination to reduce ey building on the island to ashes in the ev that Cuba should either be erded or sold, At tho time of this meviing De Ropas had n was subsequently just arrived at Puerto Principe. He wens there to endeavor to gain over to his side Bow the Cuban patriots, but the pet of the rebdl- lious Havana volunteers, Count VALMASEDA. De Ropas was sent to Cuba after these same rebels had driven out his predecessor, Gen. Durer, chiefly for the purpose of subduing them. The Spanish Cabinet saw clearly what Mr. Hamriron Fram has obetinately refused to understand, that the island was lost to the Government unless these volun- teers could be brought into subjection, They selected Du: Ropas for the iron will and re- lentless cruelty which he had just displayed at Seville and Cadiz, But their hopes have been frustrated. De Ropas, in lieu of sub- jecting the volunteers, has been from his very advent subject to them, and VaLarase- DA has been his stumbling-block. The Cap- tain-Goneral has twice demanded of the home Government the recall of hts rival, but Prot and SERRANO are about as impotent in Spain as Dr Ropasiain Cuba, And now, asa last re- Bort, as VALMASEDA would not come to Ha vana, the Captain-General has gone to Puerto Principo trusting that the Count will meet him there, Respecting their interview, if it has taken place, no accounts have reached us; but it must have been of ench a nature that its publication would damage the Spanish cause, Meanwhile, the admission of the cable that the Spaniards have lost “ small party” on the Nuevitas Railroad—a line which, from the early days of the insurrection, has been guarded by somo 3,000 Spanish troops— is ominous, when viewed with the magnify- ing glass indispensable for the deciphering of all accounts of Spanish losses that are allowed to reach us. Again, nothing has been heard of GovENECHE for some time. Rumors were afloat in Havana, at the sailing of the last steamer, that ho had surrendered at discretion to Gen. Jonpan, Of Vat- MABEDA’s loss on the Canto, no evidence has been received excopt the wounded Spanish soldiers at Manzanillo. Of course, at this important moment, any Spanish victory would instantly have been forwarded for use in Washington. The wonder is that the urgent need of one has not evoked it. —— The Price of a Scalp. Specimens of ores of the precious metals in the Land Office Museum in Washington indicate that the gold and silver mines which oceupy the upper valley of tho Rio Grande are richer than any in the United States. This comparative richness is an estallished fact in the history of that part of Mexico, when it was under the Spanish dominion. At that time the hills and valleys of the re- gion now included in New Mexico embraced a large population of thriving miners, indi cated on the old maps by two or three consid- erable towns where now only ove small vil- lage is to be found, or the remains of a vil- loge. ‘The mines and their proprietors were tuined by the unchecked incursions of the Apache Indians, The ruin of the workmen and their disappearance followed the destruc- tion of the mines, All this happened simply because a murderous savage wanted scalps of white men as vouchers of his courage and patents of his nobility, to be flaunted in the face of histribe, and used to win the love of a girl tanght to melt before the tokens of assassination—solely for this was the trane- formation of that scene of useful industry to a desert, which the traveller now crosses at the riek of his life, The yield of the Rio Grando ores is fre- quently from three to five hundred dollars the ton. Some of the specimens in Wash- ington yield by assay over nineteen thousand dollars a ton, A handful of Indians have made this entire deposit of wealth utterly worthless to the world. Throughout the im- mense district of Arizona the Indians of the same tribe make gold and silver mining by white men a business sure to be crowned with death. Indeed, the business of carry- ing the United States mail is equally obj tionable to these noble savages. Whoever does it sooner or later gets sealped, and roasted at the stake, head downwards, in a circle of slow fire. ————_____ Mr. Tweed’s Election Law. The election law for this city which was passed by the Legislature on Tuesday even- ing, and signed by the Governor at once, is precisely the same as was published in THE Sun on Saturday last. In one respect it is better than the present law. The inspectors of election, who are also to serve as can- vassers, are elected by tho people and not appointed by the Polico Commissioners. They will, therefore, generally be men of better character than we have had in our recent elections. The Police Commissioners have appointed thieves, pimps, State's prison convicte—the fact is notorious, but Gov. HorrMman declines to take notice of it— and they have managed the enormous frauds which have disgraced our republican in- stitutions, The people will not be likely to elect men ofso bada kind. But on the other hand, the inspectors are to be chosen months before the election at which they are to serve ; and the temptations, commercial and political, to which they will be subjected during the whole of this period, will be something that only extraordinary virtue can resist, For tho rest, the law is not esscntially better than that we havo so long enjoyed. It denounces severer penalties for fraudu- lent voting and fraudulent canvassing, it is true, but are those penalties likely to be en- forced? Has any man ever been punished in this city for violating an election law? Many men have been arrested at every elec- tion, but magistrates have released them, grand juries have nover indicted them, Dis- trict Attorneys have never prosecuted them, Judges have never tried them. The poor wretch who bas stolen a loaf cf bread has not escaped retribution ; but thy villains who have defrauded the people by felse votes and falso counting have become millionaires, hold high officcs, and waen they dio they will be mourned without regard to expense as taints and patriots, Will any expericneed 1 say the this law will provent cheating at elections hereafter? Is it evch a law as ap able legis. lator would have framed if his purpose had been to guard the purity of the ballot-box at all hazards? Is it such a law os we might have had if the Republicans had not sold themselves aud their party? By no means, But St seems better than the prescut law, inasmuch as it takes from the Police Com- missioners all control over the eleetions and reaffiims the right of challenging at the polls. Merain somethin hae beam gained by the febelliow of tt» Young Democracy, and for hat Tet us bo duly thankful. It is not toch, but, ag our friend the Hon. Lawnencn Riennan has remarked, half a loaf is better than no bread at all, Does Ile Mean Itt Dictator ‘i'werp has introduced ® bill to abolish the present Board of Supervisors, and confer their fanctions upon the new Board of Aldermen to be elected in Mi That is one of the reforms that Tim Sux has contended for from the first. We hope Mr. TWrep fe in earnest about it. If #0, he can easily put it through the Legislature. Let him show in this behalf only a part of the zeal and resolution he has displayed in smashing the Young Democracy and ennct- ing his charter, and the work will be dono. It will be a great thing for the city, and a great thing for Twrep. If he means to travel much further toward the honor of be- ing Governor of New York, lot him take the road of reform, and stick to it, . What would the Grand Sachem think of a law that would render ft imponsible for any Democrat to hold more than one office at a time? ee Some time ago Mr. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN Maxrenee, then drawing €12,000 a year as Police, Excise, and Health Commissiouer, put in a claim for an additional $5,000, on the plea that he had rendered extraordinary service as Treasurer of the Hoard of Excise. Mr. Dorman B, Eaton, the eecommodating counsel to that Roard, has. tened to find an excuse for putting the coveted $5,000 into Maxiennn’s pocket, and ata # cret meeting of the Ring in the Excise Board the Manrerne claim was allowed, At the same meet ing—or, if not at that meeting, at a secret meet. ing -the conspirators voted the venerable Judge Boswontn an extra $1,000 for services ar Presi- dent of the Board. Nobody knows how much deeper the Excise Ring might have dived into the treasury had not the venerable Judge Bos- wontn administered a telling rebuke and flung their $1,000 bribe back into their faces, Then Tue Sox exposed the Maxrenne $5,000 vote; and when Judge Boswonra heard of that un- blushing peculation, he indignantly demanded an investigation, The official inquiry sustained Tae Sun's charges, A committee was then appointed to inquire whetber Mr. Maxtenne was really en- titled to the €5,000 which the conspirators bad awarded him, The epecial counsel to the Exciso Board was compelled to report yesterday that the 5,000 paid to Mr, Maxreene was paid without authority of law, and that estimable gentleman was obliged to stand by his offer to repay the money, or at least seem to dose. It was, however, managed that the final de by the Board should be postponed until Saturday, by whieh time there will probably be no Bord of Excise, and Ma- iene will keep bis money, If not, aa intima- tion is thrown out that he will get an item in the tax levy, in which business he has some experi- ence. When O'Hatt conies to appoint the new Police Commission, don't let him forget Ma. wimxre. He shows such abundant capacity for taking things, that he must surely, if he directs his energies right, be a good thief-taker, which is what we want of a police force. ——-—- The Hon.

According to the dull @, Mr, Bios Low referred largely to “Beau Maucte’s cor- respondent De Fraxgats,”’ who advised the Beau to send no more eannon to America, ‘be. cause the Americans had enough; also, because they could make them themselves; and what was better, could take them from the enemy.’ ‘This is truly original, Most people suppose that Mr. Bioerow was tulking about Bracmancuars ond Dr, Baxsamin Faanguix ; but since the dull Timea came to be conducted by Englishmen hostile to the United States, it cannot be expect- edto know much about subjects connected with the history of this blarsted country. plate By the passage of the Twrrp charter New York has become a free city—that is to say, free to be plundered more than ever by Twerp, Sweeny, and their chosen friends, pa Oxford and Cambridge have again met on their watery field, and their sixteen representa- tives have done battle for the Blue Ribbon of the Thames, Victory fell to Cambridge alter the most severely contested race on r This is another triumph for the supporters of the Oxford stroke, as the Cambridge crew have been under the tuition of Mr, Morrisson, an Oxford man, In- stead of pulling the short, quick stroke of ubout 44 to the minute, that the many windings of the narrow river Cam had s0 often led them to do, yesterday, for tho first time in many years, they essayed the long, steady stroke, averaging about 89 to the minute, and their effurts were crowned with an unprecedented success, Lot Harvard take a hint, re When the tax levy is put through, what alot of rich plums will bein it!
