An EVIL THAT SHOULD BIZ CoRReorFD.

morning, as the Albany ooats were ""O''' - ''-'
n Door man. with yalise in hand, was walking
along West ST.. with no idea OF going to Albany
but bv the Hoboken Ferry to New-Jersey. lie
was met by these runners, his valise taken from
him and carried ON board the Albany boat, ana,
when he demonstrated against the proceedings,
they knocked him down twice, with two "stars'
present without any attempt to interfere on their
part. This Kind Of rufliaaism is and has been
daily practiced for years. Where is the "cfi-
Gent Chief Of Police
(The above facts are from a perfectly reliable
source. We have, moreover, the evidence OF our
own eyes to the fact that watch suffers, pocket
book troopers, vendors Of obscene publications,
and all manner of low, dirty villains, daily and
hourly practice their vocation within the sight and,
we doubt not, with the full cognZance of Police
officers. We have seen officers costly chatting
with weH.known thieves and bullies as if with old
cronies, while others of the gang were alluring
strangers into gambling den not fifty feet away.
Between venal and basely corrupt Aldermen, and
a seuile and cowardy Police, our City is 10 a most
infamous condition.

steamboat Santa Claus, and that they have chart
cred her for about $2,C00 per month, which the

per day.
"SAyE NE FROM MY FRIENDS. 1.-THE
National Democrat, the official organ latter The
Heraid) of the majority of the Common Council,
says OF its political friends in the City Hall:
"Our mind has long been convinced that the
present Common Council is disgrace to the City
of New orb, and tend to bring the elective theo-
~ OF government into dIsIepute. We should
feel ashamed OF the practical workings Of our
republican system, did circumstances render
it necessary that an intelligent foreigner should
be introduced TO the minority Of the members of
our Common Council We have watched their
proceedings with much interest and it does not
seem that even those among them who had repu-
tatiOn for integrity before they became members
of the present Common Council and who are stu
supposed 10 be well meaning men, and have not
participated in the yillanies OF the majority, are
still culpable from their nellicency 10 not expos
ing the rascelites Of the body Of which they
members. That the dollars Of few spectators
upon the City Treasury control the action OF the
present Common Council is as evident 90 our mlnd
ss the sun is TO our optics at noon-day, through
clear SKY. No intelligent man, vino l. 10 the least
cognizant of the proceedings of the Common
Council, doubts the corruption OF majority OF
its members"

SUpERsTITIoN.-Am our items this
morning is Il case Of man who has been paying
large sum Of money to rascally fortune tel

found in this age Of the world so aosurdly foolish
as to be guled by the mountebanks who profess
TO tell fortunes, yet such is the fact. Why do
not some of the Aldermen or Police hunt do vn
