JAMES u. BENNETT, ESQ.,
lwish to call your atteation to one of the most
brutal outrages that ever witnessed, but the like
is not uncommon in our public streets. A Mr.
Smith, one of orr most respectable citizens, was
returning from his work when, without any provo
cation, he was attacked bya gang Of rufians at the
corner of Ridge and Grand streets, and knocked
down with sling shot and bruised his head awful
y; ne called upon the citizens tor help. but none
This happened Thursday about six o'clock. This
same gang Is in the habit Of collecting themselves
at the corner of Pitt and Grand, and at the junction
Of East Broadway and Grand every evening, and
on Sundays, r;oting and insulting every passer
by Complaint has been made over and over again
TO the authorities, but nothing has been done.
Why will not the authorities break this gang up?
Unless they do Immediately, we shall be obliged
to arm ourselves and defend families at the risk
of our lives, and we will do it too, unless something
is done. Be SO kind to call the attention Of the
mayor to this subject, and you will greatly oblige
every respectable inhabitant of the neighborhood.

PUBLIC OPINION IN PHILADELpHA.-The some
what gloomy prospect with respect to the fall trade
in Philadelphia, has had very salutary effect in
strengthening the efforts of the friends of re-or-
ganiZation of the municipal government OF that
city. Philadelphia possesses, certainly, remark
able share Of the natural elements of prosperity
a great mart of trade and commerce. The location
Of the city is central and the means OF communi-
cation with all parts of the interior are numerous
and advantageous, and in the vicinity the coal and
iron mines, and The great abundance of water pow
er, are lasting sources of great wealth.
But it is a painful fact that for consider
able time past, public sentiment has been
degenera,ing in Philadelphia. In the legisla-
ture-in the city government-in the press-in the
general tone of public opinion-in the frequent out
bursts of a spirit OF lawlessness and insubordna-
ton, there has Been great deal to awaken alarm
in the minds of all intelligent observers. One of
the greatest curses of Philadelphia, and promi-
nent cause Of the disorganization and demoraIiza-
ton, Of whose existence and extent we have re-
gently had such melancholy evidence, is cold
hunkersm." set Of miserable, corrupt, worth
less, vagabond, pot-house politicians, have hum
bugged the people, and, by all the low and disgust
ing arts Of their trade, have dsmorazed, to la
mentabe extent, The public sentiment. Indeed,
Philadelphia Is not the only city that suffers under
this curse. In all large cities there are ciiques
oil lazy worthless trading politicians, whose
figure eternally in the calls for public meetings,
a. if they were stereotyped-who roar the loudest
at the public gatherings Of the people-do all the
eating and drlnklng-and live on the black mail
which they levy on the poor clerks and others in
the public Offices, which is exacied from hem un-
der the ptetence Of i" advancing and sustaining the
interests Of the party" We have such fellows
here but they have of late been pretty well kept
down, and we trust will, by and by, be obliged 10
exclaIm with the Moor" Olheo's occupation =
gone." In Philadelphia. however, they appear TO
have great sway, and probably more unPrnclpled
asd wicked set OF men, than many OF them, never
wallowed in corruption.
Now, IN order to restore public morality and good
order in Philadelphia, al, these corrupt sold hunk
ers,' unprlncipled municipal officers and rascally
demngosues OF all parties, must be muzzed, and
have their claws chopped oil eisctually, so that
they may be prevented from dong any mischief in
future. There must be complete and thorough
reorganization OF the city government all the dis
tricts must be embraced under one municipality
honest and upright men only must be clothed with
authority, and all will BIZ we'll. The prosperity
of PhiIadel 3hIa, now SO seriously threatened, will
be rendered secure and permanent, and instead OF
being anothr name for public dishonesty, mob VIC.
lsnce, and official corruption, Philadelphia will
be associated with all that is honorable and peace
full az in the days OF her former glory and prosper
ity.

A SCENE IN BROADWAY YEsTERDAY.-One Of
those scenes Of daily occurrence which illustrate
the admirable police regulations OF this city, ana
the extreme attention to the minor details Of city
reform exhibited by the new corporation, occurred
yesterday evening about 6 o'clock, in Broadway,
near Nbo's Garden. The crossing was INSTRUCTED
by milk cart, Tin violation Of city ordinance,)
as gentleman with lady was desirous of eros
sing the street. The street having been recently
waered and muddy, the gentleman left the lady on
the sidewalk, and went forward and backed the
horse and cart SC as to leave the crossing unob-
s'ructed. The careless caitman, who had left his
horse and cart, probably to procure glass Of grog,
rushed forward at this moment, and poured forth
perfect torrent Of blasphemy and blackguardsm,
because the gentlemen |" had dared to touch his
horse" The violence of the fellow was such that
the attention Of all the passers-by was arrested, and
a crowd colleced' Several gentlemen remonstra-
ted with the nsolent cartman. but hisviolenceiwas
only redoubled, and he repeatedly threatened-to
knock the gentleman down, and it was with some
difficulty that he was enabled to escape with his
lady from this dIsagresabls scene.
