with respect to the many municipal reforms which
have been so long suxiousy looked for by all good
citizens who have any regard for the health and
peace of the city and the security OF the lives and
properties of lis inhabitants. But, however, I'M
willing the city authorities may be 10 do their duty,
we are determined that we shall not shrink from dis.
charging ours We shall not cease exposing their
derectlons, and demanding, the name OF the
public, necessary reforms, until The work be CON-
msnced in earnest
The city is virtually without any municipal 60
vernment and it is only the omnipo,ent majesty of
that respect for the laws, which of the most
distinguished characteristics OF the American peo-
pie, that prevents streets from heing the contnu
ed scene Of robbery and murder Jus; let refer to
the aspect OF our streets on Saturday night last as
specimen Of the manner in which the safety and
comfort OF the cltiZsns attended to- In the
midst or that furious storm If rain and wind, on
one OF he darkest nights we recolIect, there was

to-dayo numerous accidents IN consequence OF
vehicles coming into collision with each other, or
being overturned Ali SORTS of robbery and vlo-
lence could have been committed on such night
with perfect impunlty.
And are we any better of any night in the
yearl Why, even in broad daylight crimes of the
most fearful Character have been perpe,rated in our
prnci al ;horoughfores, and their authors readily

Let us have an efficient day and night police-let
cur streets cease TO be the recepiacles of all the

administered with righteousness, and without fear

Of the Comnon Council, do make some show OF

PUBLIC CHAsrIsEMEyT OF WELL DRESSED CRINI-
NALs-If fellow witt. good coat on his back and
few struggling well creased hairs on his upper lip,
happens to place himself in position which brings
upon him the scorn, contempt and indignation OF
every man who is worthy of his race, aud the
the world, there is sure to be great fuss made by
the miserable set, who, in every community, ina
CINE that they monopolze all the proprety and de-
cency-most of them having about as much rightto
lay calm to the possession Of these cardinal viz
tues, as the thing rejoicing in the name Of "dandy"
has assert that his skull contains particle Of the
valuable substance called brains But there GER
tain offenders who at present, be reached only
By the whip Of the press, and we shall never shrink
from dispensing its sauary discipline It's proper
subjects. II we cannot make the unprlnclpIed lib
ertnes-the cold, hearess, brutal seducers repent,
we will make them ashamed. We will strip them
OF their hnery-and give them the benefit of pub
whipping. And then let your very moral ladies' and
genlemen-your respectable pious, virtuous moth
ers, and fathers and daughters expel the wretches
from their society, and the press will very have
less for its whip.
BISHOP lIUsuEs.-Some desperate wag has been
hoaXing or two of the rabid Tory prints in
London, about Bishop Hughes and his mission to
Ireland The following paragraph is good speci-
men Ct the accuracy OF this {" well informed cores
pondent," as the John Bull styles him =
But the event of mighty importance at the present mo-
is the arrival in Ireland Of Bishop Hughes, Irish
sort of "Nuncio" now, but formerly gardener OF
Bishop Dubois" Of Mount st. Mary's College in the
State Of Maryland. We have personal acquaintance of
Ole Church in barclay street New York, and having
read some OF his writings in the The New York Truth
Teller OF which he Is the proprietor and whose sub editor
formerly held commission in the British Army, and
who well known within the sound OF Bow Bill rs hav-
ing "s-questrated" in Glasgow. We DO not celong TO
that political class who think of aud not OF men.
Bishop Hughes" will be connecting link retween
Ireland and America, and he will make in his native land
that religious, which Daniel OConne says is merely pc
lticsL We have heard him at Tammany Hall, New
YORK and it is not unchsritable in infer what will
be ms y,hgs and dongS IN Ireland He is political
proeg5 OF Andrew Jackson, the Of irish emf
grants and who President OF the United States told
ia one OF his Messages, that The who takes an oath,
swears TO support the Constitution as he understands it,
and not as it Is understood by others"
There about half dozen falsehoods in this
single paragraph. The Bishop never had any con-
nection with the paper named. As tor the character
