The SANITARY COMMITTEES AND THE BOARD oP
HEALTH.-Can anything equal the obstinate stu
pidiy and imbecty of the Sanitary Committee
and Board of Health, as these solemn conclaves
are called Here they are issuing the most inde-
finite, vague, unmeaning, unsatisfactory bulletins,
at time when the whole city is alarmed and anx-
ious about the cholera. Why have we not had
full report of the whole matter, from some compe-
tent and respectable medical man? The city is
full OF ruInors of all kinds which may produce the
most dangerous effects on the weak and nervous.
We call upon the authorities to furnish the city
with full, definite, regular reports, from day to day.
stating the of cases, the localities in which
they occur, and all other proper information. And
why have not adequate hospital accommodations
been provided in suitable places, in case, unfortu
nstely, they should be needed 1t is shameful and
wicked thus to trfe with the fears, and health, and
business interests Of this metropolis.

MYSTERIES OF THE LATE RIoT.-Wc under
stand that the Mayor of this city has given over
the investigation as to the origin Of the late riot,
to Judge Edmonds. What is the reasonl The
Mayor was very fierce and tslented-a perfect Ma
poleon-n making arrangements to put down the
riot. Is he afraid to pursue the investIga-
ton! Does he apprehend that he may find out
that he himself had something to do with the nstl-
cation of the riot by his f'lly and imbecilly
We hope that Judge Edmonds will thoroughly
probe thus matter. 1t requires a very searching
nvestgsiion particularly that part of it relative to
the conduct of the famous committee Of old and
young exqulsites. As for the military, they had
10 obey orders. They were driven into narrow
dele constructed by the blundcring of the authori-
ties, and there had to obey orders. We again say
We hope that Judge Edmonds will thoroughly In
yostigate this sad business.

To the Public-Readers and Advertisers.
Hereafter, the double sheet of the Nev York
Herald will be published every Tuesday morning.
We have come to this conclusion, in order to ac-
commodate the vast body of new advertisers whs
are pressing forward for admttance into the ca.
Iumns Of that edition of our Journal. The enter
prise of publishing double sheet for the benefit
of the business community, has succeeded beyond
our most sanguine expectations; and although wo
begin with the issue only of one such sheet week
ly, we mean gradually to extend this accommoda-
ton, by publishing similar sheet, whenever ne
cessary, twice week, gradually increasing the
arrangement, as to be enabled fully to meet tho
wants and wishes of this rapidly growing city, by
the publication of double sheet every day. But,
for the present-and during the approaching sum-
mer, when the activity of business slackens-
we shall restrict ourselves to the issue of ono
double sheet each week and Tuesday is fixed
upon for the permanent day of issue. Advertisers
of all kinds will please take notice of this an
nouncement, and govern themselves accordingly.
