Controller Green in reply to Mr. Van Nort takflfl BflflflBtflB to sbow, at greater length than wc have room to publish, that the paving of South Pifth-ave. and Church-flt. with Guidct Btoue blocks waa practically a job. The Haine romplaint has been made before, and tho evi- (I,Mi of tlie swindle was complote as pnb- lishiil long ago. And yet they are laying the MBM e.iiHMisive and noisy pavement to-day in paK-iien, in Broad-st., where of all other.. quict is requircd and littlo heavy traflio ever COIIH-l. DiflpaB.MA from various parU of the North- Wrst aml South-West exhibit a very flBflflfl? state of leelmg among the Indians. But the most curious feature of the reporta is Ihe tafl* pen.ling fight. lietwecn the Pawnees and Siour. The iirst-named of these tribes are, a fccble. folk, compared with their re.loubtable BBfl* inies; but they have a trick of forming alliances which serve them iu good st.ail. Tbe Pawneea and Sioux havo long been bereditary foes, and, in former years, their wara made things uncorafortable for tnivelers who crossed the continent by the old-fashioned wagon trains. If -flflflfl belligeront red men Ufl " thc wards of the nation," it is the plain duty of their national guardian to keep peace in thc family. Our Bcrlin letter gives some account of the condition of the Eraperor of Germany, who wus at one timo reported to bo scriously iu- tlisposed. It seoms likcly that his vigorous constitution will overcome bis rccent attack; but his advaucod age precludes the ****** ti his living many more years. His whole life liaa been a strugglo against liberal principles, and wliatever progrcssive mcasurcs have been adopted in liifl country witliin the last few years have been urged upon bim with great persistence by the miuister whom he chose as a representative of ultra Conservativo ideas. At his death Germany will lose a supporter of a toodified form of military despotism, and gain, upon the aceession of the Crown Prince to the throue, a friend of a more liberal sys- tem of conatitutional govorument. Allhough Treasurer Spinner, in his oflicial position, has not much intluence iu determin- ing the financial policy of the country, his views on financial questions are always sure to command attention. Gen. Spinner has written a letter to the editor of a joumal de- voted to finance and banking, published ifl Frankfort, Germany, in which somewhat flfff. flflOVB epislle the Treasurer gives his ideas on funding schemes and resumption. What (.en. Spinner says of the system of fundiug our national debt is, perhaps, less likely to attract notice than what he says about resumption. He haa always thought that the shortost w.iy to resuuie specie payment. was to MflBflM ; and he singles out and classifies the opponents of resumption in a manner which leaves no room to doubt what the Treasurer _________ 6f them. _ We have before had occasion to cominen.l thc distinguished services which Special Agent Jayue is renderini. to that active class of merchants whom their rivals are accustomed to designate as "smugglers." Mr. Jayne is evidcntly determined to mako the colleetion of the revenue as obnoxiou.s ._. pos- Ril.le, and, if such a thing bfl poa- sible, to disgust New-York merchants niore than ever with the methods employed hy the Custoins agenta in this cily. Two years ago his activity in compelling confessions from timid witnesses won him tlie epilhet of " Handcuff Jayne," which title it is dflfl. hfl never deserved, however elso seiitiineiit might have been divided at the time. Now it appears he haa taken to using " the whole army aml " navy of the United States" as a threat, aml lately he went into a merchaut's _t_Mflflflflfl and, against the warnings of tho mercharit.' flOBB* sel aud against the advice of Districl-Attor- ney Bliss, seizod all the books of the, cou- cern. The hrm was not one to be trilh-d with, and it has brought suit against the Special Agent, who it is said has left the city to avoid arrest, and threateus to resign. It is a pity the gen- tleraen were so hasty; if the Special Agent had been quietly pennitted to go on a few mouths longer in his vigorous, obuoxious way, it is likely that a great many merchants would have been aroused to action, aud the gentle- man would not havo been permitted to r_tiro without damage. TUE NEED OF A SELF-UENIING VB- D1XANCE. When the merobera of the last Congress, in those genial closing hours of the session when all the troublos and scruples and cares of the year mclt away in a champagny gush of good feeling, voted themselves an increase of aalary and a gratuity of $5,000 a-piece, they appa- rently had no thought of what they were really doing. They felt good-natured over the close of their work and the prospect of gettiug home again. A pocket full of money is as important an aecessory of good spirits aa a skin full of wine. They wanted the cash, and had a certain confusion of ideas as to the way in which they were getting it. As it was voted by Congress, each man felt the responsi- bility so divided _hat it scarcely touched him anywhere. Ile did not seem to be taking it. He Beetoed to be receiving it. He had served the Nation faithfnlly, and he took these "vails" as a good servant pockets the dollar of a departing gue. t, wlio is satisfied with him. The Congressman felt no more sense of degradatioii in voting him- self this gratuity than John Thomaa fflfllfl in intercepting the guest on the stairs and wish- ing him a pleasant journey. So hazy a sense of responeibility pervailed both Houses in re- lation to tbis matter, that Mr. Shellabarger thought it would be inaulting to his fellow- meuibers if he refused his share; aud Mr. Matt. Carpenter, rising, as was natuial, to a t*\*tt** moral altitude than the rest, iusisle.l thut it was a penal violation A the law and a gross contempt of the Constitution for any man to dedine it. They took the money and went home iu a Btate of coniplnccncy which can only bc compared to that of the hcro of tho ballad, who stuck iu his thumb aud pull. .1 out a pluw, and aaid, " What a Good Boy am 1!" There wa* apparently no apprehensiou of any futurc calling to account. It was au off- year in politics, they argued. They bad gtOB n accufltomed, after the manner of politicians. to wcighiug all actions, uot by their Mflflfll qual¬ ity, but by the effect they would produce upon the stump. In a Presidentia! year they would not have dreamed of takiny thi-* money. Thi y would not havo daied ronfront tliat BflTM qna.lieniiial light which beats upon |».litiei.ifi« with any sm li plundcr in their poeUt.. Hut. ju-lging i_.ll men by a caiicus -»t m.laril, th. J lboug-rl there was nothing '«» bfl BBflflBJ -fct- ye.u by ailacking ihis iiiejsure; tbereforfl it would not bo atta-ked.at loadt DOt $5,000 worth. It wonld seem now that they miBcalonlaM. They left out of view several important #»lement* of the situa- tion. The fact that thero waa no great political intorest at stake, set the public judg- nient fre,e on qtiestions of niorals. Tlio fsrni- ers were even then puzzlcd by the, pmhlein of tlieir own hard work and small g iins.

This Ita wholesonie aud chccring thing in llself, but as yet this inovcinent of public con- science lacks flefattfl purpose and t.iidenny.

Tlie suggestion itself is n rather taking one. At Iirst blush it seems (piite the thing to do, and some very sensible men.educators themselves and intercsted inthe promotion ol sound learnincjiavo Inlleu in with it with more or less of enthusiasm. A National University, with trustees, facultics, oflicers, and iustructors appointed by Govern¬ ment, seems bo logical a growth froni the comnion school system, with iU teachirs flfllootfld by district committees aud paid by asscKsnicnt and tax upon the district, that there is a disposition to jtimp to the conclu- mon that it is n very proper thing to cstab- bsh such a university. laatflad of being utterly at varianco with tho spirit of dernocratic institutions, it haA to the superficial oboWH the appearance of being a perlect culininatiou of them. Kducation, lie aays, is and inuBt bc the bulwark of our liberties; a State that calls every citizen a govereign, and exercise« no discriniination in apportionini? among its peo¬ ple the piivilfgrs and rcBjiousibilities of gov¬ ernment, is bound in the intorests of ita own pcrpetuation and in its own dt fensc Ut edu- cate its soveiei^ns to a knowledge of their duties.

The address was in tbe naturo of a icpod upon a scheme wiu. h had been jiresented to the Assocution for tlie eatnblishment of a National Inivcrsity. A considerable portion ol the report was occupied with a biBUiry of the M-fntne and the pTOpTflOa "f tlie dlflOBO- ^ion upon it.

We publishcd ¦ week or two ago an ab;tractof riil.s BaOfld bf Ihfl rhiladclpbia Soeiety for tbo iruiilance flf mothers in the treatment of tcething iiildren during tbe kot wealher. Our friends of the press havo take 11 bo kindlyaml gcneial an intorest in these that we make room tbo more gladly for a similar abstract of & Scbedule of Directions fur- nish.'d by Dr. A. Jaeobi at the requiist of tbo Public Hcalth Association of this city, concerning infantile dict during Sumnier, giving it a placo more willingly as it is iutended to apply to certain cases of wbicb tbe moro general directions Iflflk no cognizance. 1. Ovcrfeeding, Dr. Jaeobi is of opinion, doos more harni than anything eLso. A baby of a month or two should be nursed every two or three hours. A baby ef six. mouths and over, should be nursed tivo times in twenty-fonr hours, aud uo more. Whflfl a baby K.ts thirsty in the moantime, givo it a drink of w ater or barley-watcr, without sugar. In case the mother's milk is not more than balf enough, sho is to change otT between breast-milk aud fo.sl; in case tbe baby must dopond upon food alone, tho Doetor recommends barley-water (the barley to be ]>oW(l.Ted by being ground in acleancoffeo-grinder); ono teaspoonful boiled with a little salt in a gill of waUsr for 15 miniitcs, strained, and mixed with half as much boiled milk aud a lump of white sugar; to ho given lukewann through a nursinfl-bottle; bottle and moiitb-piece to be kept scrupulously clean. llabics over six months must bo given more milk in proportion. When bahics aro costivo, oatmeal is to be used instead of barley. The food of a baby should be perfectly sweet, which may be proved by trying it with a small strip of bluo lituius paper. If tho paper turn retl make a fresb niess. Infants of six months may bavo beef tca or becf soup once a day; of a year old may have a crust of bread or piece of rare beef to sunk. No candien are to be given. In tbo caso of Sumnier complaint, frc«h air is, witb Dr, Jaeobi, as every other skilled physician, tho best restorativo. lie probibits lauda- num, paregoric, soothing sirujxi. Stc. Even milk, every thing to eat or drink, must be withheld for four or six hours. With certain other of Dr. Jaeobi's rnles we mnst venture respectfully to disagree. Hut few babies, however hardy, could bear tho " freipient" cold baths he recouuncnibj in very hot weather. Two in thfl day.one cold in the morning, and a tflptd IBl at night.are 111 our opinion sufflcient. And the ad- miuistration of whisky to a healthv infaut, even us a preservative, in tho very hotteet weather. and hmited tfl but a teaspoonful iu 21 hours, apjmars to us a most unwise uyjuinption of tbe old Knulish j.ra.-tn-e, iiiisuilcd both to American cnnstitutioiifl an.l cli- matofl. Ha very judiciously, how.ver, as it appears to us, recommends the flflfl of tnixed milk from a nuuiberof cows for infants' diet, rather than from one, as in caae of the neceaaity for change, the transi- tion is not so dangerous fur tbe child. Thcae rules may, to even mothora, appear tntiil froni their simplicity; but ao far aa diet an.l hygicnn for children aro concerued, it is in the simplicity of treatment and steadmess of eare that safety llea. Dr. Jaeobi bolougs, as wo bohove, to that BoB eiiiinciit elass b( physicians with whom pCBTflOtion of diaease ia a more nuportant object thau enre.an ol.ji'i t only to be BflOflflflfttahfld by tho enlighten inent of inoth-rs, until they are able to perfonn th. ir part, Ixith before and after birth, in giviim Boflfld bodlaa to th. ir ohildrao.

DiflpaB.MA from various parU of the North-Wrst aml South-West exhibit a very flBflflfl?state of leelmg among the Indians. But themost curious feature of the reporta is Ihe tafl*pen.ling fight. lietwecn the Pawnees and Siour.The iirst-named of these tribes are, a fccble.folk, compared with their re.loubtable BBfl*inies; but they have a trick of formingalliances which serve them iu good st.ail.Tbe Pawneea and Sioux havo long been

bereditary foes, and, in former years, theirwara made things uncorafortable for tnivelerswho crossed the continent by the old-fashionedwagon trains. If -flflflfl belligeront red men Ufl" thc wards of the nation," it is the plain dutyof their national guardian to keep peace in

Our Bcrlin letter gives some account of the

condition of the Eraperor of Germany, whowus at one timo reported to bo scriously iu-

tlisposed. It seoms likcly that his vigorousconstitution will overcome bis rccent attack;but his advaucod age precludes the ****** tihis living many more years. His whole lifeliaa been a strugglo against liberal principles,and wliatever progrcssive mcasurcs have beenadopted in liifl country witliin the last few

years have been urged upon bim with greatpersistence by the miuister whom he chose as

a representative of ultra Conservativo ideas.At his death Germany will lose a supporter ofa toodified form of military despotism, andgain, upon the aceession of the Crown Princeto the throue, a friend of a more liberal sys-tem of conatitutional govorument.

Allhough Treasurer Spinner, in his oflicialposition, has not much intluence iu determin-ing the financial policy of the country, hisviews on financial questions are always sure

to command attention. Gen. Spinner haswritten a letter to the editor of a joumal de-voted to finance and banking, published iflFrankfort, Germany, in which somewhat flfff.flflOVB epislle the Treasurer gives his ideas on

funding schemes and resumption. What (.en.

Spinner says of the system of fundiug our

national debt is, perhaps, less likely to attractnotice than what he says about resumption.He haa always thought that the shortost w.iyto resuuie specie payment. was to MflBflM ;

and he singles out and classifies the opponentsof resumption in a manner which leaves no

room to doubt what the Treasurer _________ 6fthem.

_

We have before had occasion to cominen.lthc distinguished services which Special AgentJayue is renderini. to that active class ofmerchants whom their rivals are accustomedto designate as "smugglers." Mr. Jayne isevidcntly determined to mako the colleetionof the revenue as obnoxiou.s ._. pos-Ril.le, and, if such a thing bfl poa-sible, to disgust New-York merchants niore

than ever with the methods employed hy theCustoins agenta in this cily. Two years agohis activity in compelling confessions fromtimid witnesses won him tlie epilhet of" Handcuff Jayne," which title it is dflfl. hflnever deserved, however elso seiitiineiit mighthave been divided at the time. Now it appearshe haa taken to using " the whole army aml" navy of the United States" as a threat, amllately he went into a merchaut's _t_Mflflflflfl and,against the warnings of tho mercharit.' flOBB*sel aud against the advice of Districl-Attor-ney Bliss, seizod all the books of the, cou-

cern. The hrm was not one to be trilh-d with,and it has brought suit against the Special Agent,who it is said has left the city to avoid arrest,and threateus to resign. It is a pity the gen-tleraen were so hasty; if the Special Agenthad been quietly pennitted to go on a fewmouths longer in his vigorous, obuoxious way,it is likely that a great many merchants wouldhave been aroused to action, aud the gentle-man would not havo been permitted to r_tirowithout damage.

TUE NEED OF A SELF-UENIING VB-D1XANCE.

When the merobera of the last Congress, inthose genial closing hours of the session whenall the troublos and scruples and cares of theyear mclt away in a champagny gush of goodfeeling, voted themselves an increase of aalaryand a gratuity of $5,000 a-piece, they appa-rently had no thought of what they were reallydoing. They felt good-natured over the closeof their work and the prospect of gettiughome again. A pocket full of money is as

important an aecessory of good spirits aa a

skin full of wine. They wanted the cash, andhad a certain confusion of ideas as to the wayin which they were getting it. As it was votedby Congress, each man felt the responsi-bility so divided _hat it scarcely touchedhim anywhere. Ile did not seem to betaking it. He Beetoed to be receivingit. He had served the Nation faithfnlly,and he took these "vails" as a good servant

pockets the dollar of a departing gue. t, wliois satisfied with him. The Congressman feltno more sense of degradatioii in voting him-self this gratuity than John Thomaa fflfllfl inintercepting the guest on the stairs and wish-ing him a pleasant journey. So hazy a sense

of responeibility pervailed both Houses in re-

lation to tbis matter, that Mr. Shellabargerthought it would be inaulting to his fellow-meuibers if he refused his share; aud Mr.Matt. Carpenter, rising, as was natuial, to a

t*\*tt** moral altitude than the rest, iusisle.lthut it was a penal violation A the law and a

gross contempt of the Constitution for anyman to dedine it. They took the money andwent home iu a Btate of coniplnccncy whichcan only bc compared to that of the hcro oftho ballad, who stuck iu his thumb aud pull. .1out a pluw, and aaid, " What a Good Boy am 1!"There wa* apparently no apprehensiou of

any futurc calling to account. It was au off-

year in politics, they argued. They bad gtOB n

accufltomed, after the manner of politicians. to

wcighiug all actions, uot by their Mflflfll qual¬ity, but by the effect they would produce uponthe stump. In a Presidentia! year they wouldnot have dreamed of takiny thi-* money. Thi y

would not havo daied ronfront tliat BflTMqna.lieniiial light which beats upon |».litiei.ifi«with any sm li plundcr in their poeUt.. Hut.

ju-lging i_.ll men by a caiicus -»t m.laril, th. Jlboug-rl there was nothing '«» bfl BBflflBJ -fct-ye.u by ailacking ihis iiiejsure; tbereforflit would not bo atta-ked.at loadt DOt

$5,000 worth. It wonld seem now thatthey miBcalonlaM. They left out ofview several important #»lement* of the situa-tion. The fact that thero waa no greatpolitical intorest at stake, set the public judg-nient fre,e on qtiestions of niorals. Tlio fsrni-ers were even then puzzlcd by the, pmhlein oftlieir own hard work and small g iins. Thetliet't of five thotisand dollars l.y a v..»e lnstnone of IH cnoiinity in the ey.-s of a inaii

resolntion against it as r.gularly as they ofledto resolve that tlie pflBflJOM of tlie soldiersandsailors must be punctually paid. This Itawholesonie aud chccring thing in llself,but as yet this inovcinent of public con-

INFANT DIET.We publishcd ¦ week or two ago an ab;tractof

riil.s BaOfld bf Ihfl rhiladclpbia Soeiety for tboiruiilance flf mothers in the treatment of tcethingiiildren during tbe kot wealher. Our friends of the

press havo take 11 bo kindlyaml gcneial an intorestin these that we make room tbo more gladly for a

similar abstract of & Scbedule of Directions fur-nish.'d by Dr. A. Jaeobi at the requiist of tbo PublicHcalth Association of this city, concerning infantiledict during Sumnier, giving it a placo more willinglyas it is iutended to apply to certain cases of wbicbtbe moro general directions Iflflk no cognizance.

1. Ovcrfeeding, Dr. Jaeobi is of opinion, doos moreharni than anything eLso. A baby of a month or twoshould be nursed every two or three hours. A babyef six. mouths and over, should be nursed tivo timesin twenty-fonr hours, aud uo more. Whflfl a babyK.ts thirsty in the moantime, givo it a drink ofw ater or barley-watcr, without sugar.In case the mother's milk is not more than balf

enough, sho is to change otT between breast-milk audfo.sl; in case tbe baby must dopond upon food alone,tho Doetor recommends barley-water (the barley to be]>oW(l.Ted by being ground in acleancoffeo-grinder);ono teaspoonful boiled with a little salt in a gill ofwaUsr for 15 miniitcs, strained, and mixed with halfas much boiled milk aud a lump of white sugar; toho given lukewann through a nursinfl-bottle; bottleand moiitb-piece to be kept scrupulously clean.llabics over six months must bo given more milk inproportion. When bahics aro costivo, oatmeal is tobe used instead of barley. The food of a babyshould be perfectly sweet, which may be proved bytrying it with a small strip of bluo lituius paper.If tho paper turn retl make a fresb niess.

Infants of six months may bavo beef tca or becfsoup once a day; of a year old may have a crust ofbread or piece of rare beef to sunk. No candien are

to be given. In tbo caso of Sumnier complaint,frc«h air is, witb Dr, Jaeobi, as every other skilledphysician, tho best restorativo. lie probibits lauda-num, paregoric, soothing sirujxi. Stc. Even milk,every thing to eat or drink, must be withheld for fouror six hours.With certain other of Dr. Jaeobi's rnles we mnst

venture respectfully to disagree. Hut few babies,however hardy, could bear tho " freipient" coldbaths he recouuncnibj in very hot weather. Two inthfl day.one cold in the morning, and a tflptd IBl atnight.are 111 our opinion sufflcient. And the ad-miuistration of whisky to a healthv infaut, even us a

preservative, in tho very hotteet weather. and hmitedtfl but a teaspoonful iu 21 hours, apjmars to us a

most unwise uyjuinption of tbe old Knulish j.ra.-tn-e,iiiisuilcd both to American cnnstitutioiifl an.l cli-matofl. Ha very judiciously, how.ver, as it appearsto us, recommends the flflfl of tnixed milk from anuuiberof cows for infants' diet, rather than fromone, as in caae of the neceaaity for change, the transi-tion is not so dangerous fur tbe child.Thcae rules may, to even mothora, appear tntiil

froni their simplicity; but ao far aa diet an.l hygicnnfor children aro concerued, it is in the simplicityof treatment and steadmess of eare that safety llea.Dr. Jaeobi bolougs, as wo bohove, to that BoBeiiiinciit elass b( physicians with whom pCBTflOtionof diaease ia a more nuportant object thau enre.an
