the place left vacant by the death of the amented
Malibren, This is another instance of that not n
title singular fact that the United States have sup
piled England with the highest order of theatrical
and vocal talent. Malbran's powers were first de-
veloped here. Anderson, Miss Cushman, CASTELAR,,
are all examples Of the same thing. 1t would thus
appear that visit to the United States is the first
STEP and most essential one, to the future success Of
all young artists. From the state of society here,
It's freedom from old conventonalisms, genius at
once obtains just and true verdict from public

COMMON CoUNcIL-DoG LAw.-Both Boards will
meet this evening. The streets are in as bad con-
dtion as The omnibus racing is still carried
on with impunity, and nuisance upon nuisance
is staring the Corporation in the face in all
quarters Of the city. The new dog law will doubt
less be taken up and acted upon this evening.
The following proclamation, however, has been is
sued, and we trust will have the desired effect:-
Passed May l4th, 1897
The Mayor Aldermen and Commonaty Of the CITY Of
New York, in Common Council convened do ordain as
follows
Sec. |. No dog shall hereafter be permitted to go
abroad in any Of the streets squares lanes alleys or
public places of this city without being properly nuz
zled being led by chain string under the penslty
Of dollars for each offence TO be recovered against
the possessor or person who harbored such dog
within three days previous to the time OF such dog being
found going abroad and shall be lawful for any ne
son whatsoever to seize and kill any dog running at
large without being muzzled, ed by chain OF
string.
The above ought to be a sufficient warning to the
owners OF dogs to compel them to keep their animals
tied up In every quarter Of the city, however,
these animals are allowed TO prowl about, to the
manifest danger Of the inhabitants.

SYMPTOMS MORAL WAR UPON THE ADMIN
IsTRATIoS.-During the period of Mr.. Van Buren's
recent visit to this city, an important meeting
semblage of his leading friends and adherents took
place at the house of gentleman, who ranks
amongst the disappointed candidates for great
off,e here. Mr.. Van Buren, attended in person.
Silas Wright was also present, with other men of
note. 1t is impossible to exaggerate the extreme
bitterness OF feeling which begins to show itself
amongst the Van Buren section Of the democracy
of this city, distinguished from the Marcy
clique, just getting into existence. They charge the
President with having falslied three-fourhs of the
promises he made-with having played the hypo-
crte-pretendng friendship to the leaders, only for
the purpose of worming out of their conhding and
unsophlstcated bosoms all their plans and designs,
and then quietly nipping their projects in the bud
and with discarding and cutting them off, for the
purpose of forming national clique of his own
under the name of the Polk democracy, to control
future events. In conseque nee of this meeting, we
shall not be surprised TO see some serious attempts
on the organization of Congress, to form strong
faction within the democratic party, opposed to Mr.
Folks administration and TO giving the printing of
Congress to his organ
