The SIXTH WARD.-It undoubtedly will be
gratifying to the qlet residents Of this Ward q
learn that Capt. Smith of the Sixth Ward Police
has determined to legaly proceed against every
house of srepute in that Ward, and II possible 70
banish the occupants Of these vile dens from the
Ward or compel them to resort TO honest aud hon.
orable occupations. The un iertakiDg is great
one, end if Capt Smith, aided by his subordinate,
shoud succeed in their reformation, they should be
crowned with honor by the Jonathans who have
be en- relieved of their vAuables by the disordeTy
and tbieyipg Migrants Of that section Of the City
But what it. in clearing the Five Points, the neigh
boring Wards suffer by receiving the flying va
grants? That would nj be much Of reformation

CAPT. SUTTER-We were pleasantly surprised
to see in our Office the other day the frank cordial
face of this sturdy old California pioneer. o'sOods

box of studio, in windy San Fran isco, has been

is a striking head, and viii be seen with much in.
terest here, where Capt. Suffers nam, has be-
come one of the familiar words Of our preSeOt his
tory. We are inclined to consider this as one c.
the finest Of Mr.. 0sgoods heads. We sho1d ike

Andrew Subleite in like style
CLIAEISG OF SEwERs-A coresponde Il writes
Us in depreciation Of the practice OF suffering the
deposits ofsswers, after they are cleaned to re-
main for hours in the streets, before they are
moved. He instances several iishts of this kind
in the lower part Of Greenwich st. and suggests the
piopriety Of having carts In readiness to receive
the filth as il s taken from the sewers, thereby
preventing further pollution OF cur none too pare at
the.best air. We unite with him in his depreca-
ton and remedial suggestion.

skill in Gle aiming old and dscolored paiatings by an
entirely new process, which restores the brightness
of the picture, without affecting the color. The |
painting was some two ce turtles old, AID covered |
in many places with thick incrustation. The |
part which was cleaned, was entirely renovated, |
so far the dirt concerned, and we think that
any picture that is not thoroughly hopeless might |
be greatly improved by Mr. Neffier's plan
