vailed upon him to order the Secretary to comply
or quit the office-and to avoid this misfortune was
done. Woodbury. has been before the COMMITTEE as

DorNGs OF THE CoRropATIoN.-There are various
measures before the Corporation calculated TO arrest
the attention ofthe peepen every rank OF life What
is il to the great mass of the public how much the Of
fee seekers and Office holders Of Washington quarrel
If Whitney were to shoot WISE or Wise Whitney, or
all shoot each other the country would get rid OF
noisy set eff fellows, who equally attempt to deceive
and lead astray There is no public spirit or public
virtue to be expected in such corrupt as Wash
ington.
Seeing and feeling this the people here have Their
attention called to the special doings Of the CORPORA
ton, for on these doings, their business their COM
forts, their well being much depend. Now what do

pear be leagusd with the usurers, the monepoists'
and TIE spectators. Under the most specious pre-
tences they opening and widening, or rather de-
mollshing the streets by half dozens, at time when
dwelling houses are scarcer and higher than ever
known in New York. In provisions they pursue the
same principles All the meat shops are about to be
shut up in order to give the butchers monopoly and
to enable them to swell the Golfers Of the Corporation
with high rents.
Examine critically the principles which regulate the
whole conduct Of the Cooperation, and they viii be
found be in perfect keeping and character with the
SPECTATORS usurers and xlonopoists Of Wall Street.
The tendency of all their is to favor the nch,

wings and democrats are alike-are branded with the
same letters the broad expanse ofbrass which forms
the forehead MONOPOLY" -"Speculation" -" Three
per cent month" High rents'-are the words
distinctly legible there.
Now, the question is, what is the remedy for these
evils? Is there any remedy? Will not the people
be as easily hoaxcd as ever7 No! no! Wedo verify

ing revolution in the city, which will turn out, by
the neck and heels the leaders and deceivers of both
parties at the next election. Mark our prediction.
MAJOR Moan ON THE TEN TRIBEs-BcoT ON THE
RIcHr Lne.-The account we published yesterday of
fracas between lottery broker J. and Mr.. L.,
Israetes turns oat TO be quite different affair. 1t
appears that Mr. L. loaned Us brother $780, for which
he took his check ororder J. refused to pay the sheck
accordingly Mr. L. passed il eff as he could. Meantime
Jsbrother took it to the lottery Office and purchase
was made of tickets and the check taken in exchange
This exasparated two Of the sons of Judah, and be-
cause they had 10 fork out and be honest they at
tempted to take the law in their own hand.
Wcearn further that the two lottery brokers not
Of the regular line of Jacob but probably descended
from the los, ten tribes and that Major Noah intends
TO prove their descent to be the that Of the
Indians, next week, in Clinton Hall. We intend to
lake the other side, and TO prove that whatever the
lottery brokers may be, the Indians not the des
cendents of the ten tribes but merely the remains of
the Pourasafa OF the monuments of Luxor. Truth is
truth.

of unwhoesome food. The report set forth that the
meat shops were in the habit Of selling the flesh Of
animals who had died Of disease. The report also
animsdverted strongly upon the individuals keeping
meat shops az being mainly instrumental in raising
the price Of meat, and subecting citizens TO supply
of an mwholesome article"
Mr. .ruen said he should vote against the law he
would Hot vote for the appointment of officers
whose only duty was 10 make them public spies and
infermers. The salary was enormous and would be
paid for services which respectable citizen could
perform.
Mr. Curtis was precisely of the opinion OF Mr..
Bruen; he wonld vote decidedly against the ordin-
ance.
Mr.. Schmelze was fearful the whole population Of
New York would be poisoned without the passage

Mr. Talman was IN favor of enforcing the existing
laws, bat there he would STOP He would not vote
for any $500 appointments.
