ways occur Just before an election day, when II 10
necessary TO have the voting good will OF the
laborers Such legislation is base as it 10 con-
temptible: and those men who are guilty OF 1t
should be hurled from power, and their places
supplied with honest men.
In every ward in the city there are two police
men detailed, who bear the titles of street in
spector and health warden, whose duty it is to
that the laws are complied with. II is the duty of
those officers to prevent the throwing of garbage
In the streets but, would ask, is that attended
to g? So far from 1t, every street in the city is
receptacle for every description of filth, and no
notice whatever is taken of it. There piles OF
corn husks, potato parngs, bones, cabbage leaves.
In the middle of nearly every street in the city.
There is a fine imposed upon those who throw
this garbage in the street, and the law imposing
that fine should be most rIgdy enforced; and the
officer who does not report each and every case OF
violation which comes under his notice, should be
at once expelled from his position. When that is
done, we may hope for different state of things,
| but not until then.
| The subject of cleaning the streets by contract
has for some time created considerable excitement
among the wiseacres of the city government, and
was ultimately passed, dividing the city into seven
teen or eighteen districts each district to be given
to a separate individual by contract. We ask how
| has that matter been arranged 1t would GER
tainly cost less by that than by any other mode.
WE'LL they have advertised for proposals. but, in
the meantime, the streets are entirely neglected,
until it is almost worth the life OF a stranger to
breathe the foul atmosphere which pervades many
sections OF the city. The members of the cor
poration cannot but see the vile abuses of the
laws under their charge, which they look upon
with such charitable feelings, regardless of the
health and comfort of the mass of the inhabitants.
They profess great pride in being at the head of
the government OF the empire city of the Western
hemisphere, but perfectly lost to shame, and a
true of the position they occupy.
The recent heavy rains have left the streets in 2
more deplorable condition than before, and we
may expect such spread of local diseases as the
city has never previously witnessed. Such incom-
petert legislation is unworthy the representatives
of the city, and should be censured in the strongest
terms of d:sapprobation.
That the public may know who is responsible
for this lame ard improper management, we give
below list of the Aldermen and Assistants of the

The CoNDlTloN OF THE SrREErs-WHERE is THE
CONTACT SYSTEM THE present filthy condition
OF the streets, in every part of the city, calls
loudly TO the attention Of the governing power
of that department. If we not mistaken,
an ordinance exists for the proper regulation and
management of the streets; but that, like many
other useful and salutary laws, is laid on the shelf
We have frequently called the attention OF the
Common Council to this subject, but that body
has been so buslly engaged in dinners and other
entertainments of pleasure since their l9stallation,
that the city has been left to take care of itself;
and through those very streets which are a DIS
grace 10 any civilised community, in point of filth
and disorder, they have dragged the numberless
" distinguished guests who have visited the city,
and accepted Its inequalities. There is city in
the whole world that might be more easily kept
clean than the city of New York-where no re-
gard is had to the cost OF anything-and yet it is
decidedly the most wretchedy filthy city In the
whole country.
There are tunes, II is very true, when stranger
visiting the city might be led TO suppose that there
was every care taken for the clearly condition Of
the streets; tunes when every thoroughfare is
crswdedwit aborers, scraplng and sweeping, until
the streets look like one grea, potato patch covered
with small heaps Of dirt; but those heaps are only
made to be again spread out. Those scenes al

PnoTAaE OF THE HARBoR OF New YoRK-lt Is
well known to our readers that clique OF sages'
styling themselves the Board of Underwriters,
have, for number of years past, been meddllng
with the pilots of New York, and the whole subject
Of plotage, in an unwarrantable and unjusttiable
manner Their repeated interference and inter-
meddng with this business, have been attended
with a natural consequence, and we are glad 70
that they themselves convinced of the fact.
Their system of persecution against the New
York pilots, has produced its fruits. The whole
system of pilotage has been in the utmost con-
iusion-so great, indeed, that the captains
of vessels arriving at this port, have found
it impossible, almost, to ascertain who are
competent pilots and who are not. Instead
of laying the blame where it properly be-
longs on the Board of Underwriters themselves,
and their associates, IN harassing and prosecuting
the old New York pilots-they place it on the
shoulders of the captains, who are the victims OF
their Encouragement and unjustifia1lc inter-
ference They have, accordingly, issued the fol-
lowing 7ronuncdmentO:
The Board of Underwriters of New York, have re-
solved to revive the practice of examining the conduct
of the masters Of vessels wrecked or meeting with
serious disasters without extraordinary cause, occa
sionpg loss to the members Of the Board and pend
ing such examination and suspension, risks to
be taken on vessels in charge Of such masters.
Notice is also given that Information has been
municatcd to the Board that several have
recently entered New York without pilots and others
with persons pretending to be pilots who were incom
petent The Board requests masters to act with greater
for the future the Insurance Companies will
hold parties to strict accountability for emitting to
take pilot and also for taking incompetent pilot
This is decidedly rich We should really like
to know how masters of vessels are able to decide
what pilots are competent and who are not compe-
tent, when everything like system has been de-
stroyed, and when interopers have been INTRO
duced into the plotage business from all quarters
of the compass, by this same Board of Under
writers and their associates.
There is use in these sages attempting to
shift the consequences of their folly from
themselves, on whom all the evils connected with
the pilotage of this harbor should rest, and trying
to place 1t on innocent persons. They, it Is, who
have done all The mischief and there is no doubt
that if they had let the New York pilots alone the
evils of which they now complain would not
| occur.

Sir-Permit me through your column,
to call the att ntio1 of the pubiicto
few Considerations connected with tn,
County Poor House, especially IS regard
the Sick Poor. To any one who ha
had the opportunity OF observation,
will have become apparent that revis-
ION and ameIipration of the present sys
tenn has become absolutely necessary.
The questions will naturally arise -
Where Is the POOR House TO be locate,
To the best advantage? Secondly, hp1
and by wioR are ,he Poor TO be tab eli
care of? and Llsi.y by what PhysieiQn
are the sick Poor TO be treated?
In answer to these questions | woul
make the following suggestions.
First The Poor Huus. should be st,
uated at least two or three miles from.
the vii, re. for the sake of removing TIA,
danger of con;aCion III cases of epi ien,i,
diseases; and further, to atf,Ird the Poo
III charge Of the county less apportunit,
of VS. ting groceris &c.-Besides The
OF r Ieq" lite conveniences, the estab-
llshnent should be provided with sutfi
Gent quantity Of land for the production
| of the necessary q rain, vegetables, cuttl.
&C., by the Institution Itself.
Secondly. The Poor House should b,
administered by a married man, as ST.

proper nourshrnent and washing to keel
up cleanliness throughout the establish.

sisiance TO the helpless. 1t should be hi

and manag, ment of the farm. The poo,
and sick should not be neglected undo

the Poor, for the benefit of the Sick Poor
unacqualrted with any Physician. Sucl
appointment, h-wever should by no mva,
depend on the favor of the County Com
mlssIoncrS, but all the regular practlc
,ng PLY sicans ought to be SCI on an t,

county charge, in rotation, and in semi
annual terms.-In case, however, OF til,

all visits made by Physicians, all medl.

other services.
The Poor House finally ought to b,
visited and inspected by the proper Coun-
~ officers, more frequently than has been
heretofore done.
