WHERE is PAINE Our friend San Old In
habitant' appears to be afflicted by the dark
ness that lowers upon his path In his nocturnal
walks. and hence has determined to walk into
the Corporation and its usages. Hear him:
Gre as bit Lgh!-- Messrs. Editors In
walking through the old part of our fast inn
proving city, we occasionally meet an old friend
in the shape Of a lamp-post, which reminds us
that there was time when the City Fathers
took more care of the life and limbs Of their
children than they have for some time past
At that time the salary of the Mayor was 81, 900
per annum; the members of the Boards of Al
dermen and Council received 81 per day for
their services; and the Corporation clerks re-
ceiyed from $500 to 5000 or $500 year for
their services. Hundreds of dollars were not
wasted then to liquor men coming from other
cities on visits to the metropolis. Now, the
Mayor gets 81 900 per annum, Aldermen and
Council So per diem-that is, for two or three
hours service for each day they Sit and clerks
from $500 to 81 900 OF 81, 200 per annum, and
the people are kept in darkness. Life is sacri-
feed, limbs broken and other severe accidents
occur to citizens and strangers, by falling into
the canal, or tumbling over the huge rocks
spanning some Of the cutters in our most
frequented streets-and all for the want of
light. There is not city in the Union where
the lives, limbs, and comfort of the people are
SO little cared for as in this city. The Mayor
of Baltimore recommended an increased amount
of light to be shed on that city, as one means
of preventing crime; and there is no doubt but
that if our streets were lighted the same effect
would be produced here. We have the author
ity of Holy Writ for it, that those whose deeds
are evil love darkness rather than light" Let
the people sec to it, that while our city author
tiles provide for their own comforts by increas-
ing their salaries, some attention be paid
to, the necessities of the people. Much more
might be said on this subject, but it is deemed
to be only necessary to call the attention of the
proper authorities to the subject, to have the
dark parts of our city lighted

FREEDOM OF THE Passive assent to the
views contained in the following article, from
the New York Chronicle:
eve hold that for an editor to make his
opinions the gauge of all the information which
he gives to his readers, publishing whatever
agrees with them, and suppressing every thing
that differs from them, even though it should
be done with view to preserve union and pro-
mote revivals of religion, would be to assume a
prerogative over the entire community of his
readers. 1t is possible for an editor to be
wrong on any question on which there is an
honest difference of opinion; and hence we feel
bound, while we express our own views, to give
our readers all the facts both for and against,
that they may judge for themselves If any
are dissatisfied with our course in this, and
prefer not to think for themselves, they must
get some one else to think for them"
