The New YoRE COMMON COUNCIL AND rrs FIRST
STgPs-The Corporation has begun we'll, on tho
whole. It's first stops are towards retrenchment and
REFORM but what its last steps 10 DO remains to
be proved. Some Of the greatest scoundrels that
ever disgraced human nature have made plausible
debut before tho wo'ld-Noro, Henry the Eighth,
and Richard the Third, are remarkable examples.
To compare great things with small, corporations
havo sometimes made q fair show Of public virtue
when they frat entered upon their career; but tho
event showed that they only did the more ciie,-
tualy to throw dust in the eyes of the people, and
to accomplish their swndling operations in greater
security and upon larger scale. We do not mean
to coy that the present Common Council OF this city
will have TO DO ranked ono day in the same :ste-
CORY; but they are worth watching, and Melancholy
experience has proved that the professions OF publ,
men are not to DO trusted, snd that the CORRUPT
motives of the human heart, in performing even
good actions, are often beyond the reach of tho
keenest sagacity. We shall not, however, antici-
ration in power We shall leave that to tine to
determine. But tho people must be on their guard,
and not be caught asleep BY the soothing inaueuse
Of any specious promises. For years past they have
been regarded as fit subjects for plumber, by both
hjghfnl sums OF money, have been considered
az fair gamsthe luek or the party in offco for
tho time being. Tho people, therefore, and the
honest fearless, independent portion Of tho press,
cannot 30 too visilant in reference to the acts Of
any city governments, no matter what thei. high.
sounding profe asions may BIO for the present.
AS We have said, the first indications are towards
retrer cbment and reform Both in tho Common
Council anl the Board Of Supervisors, good con-.
mencement has boon made Recorder Tllou, ia
tho latter body, seems to BIO bent on following
course Of public virtue and integrity, and others
appear to BIO aotuated by tho same spirit. Bat
we trust that the robuke Of a now broom swoeps
clean" will not have to bo applied to those gentle
men a. some future day. Debates, and votss, ard
promises will not do. We want acts OF substantial
nature. The taxes arc tremsndous-upwards Of
three millions and half Of dollars! This is the frns
ofihe reckless extravaganza, profgecy. corraption
and fraud Of the lato body. Reform it altog

upon yonr brows, and . disgraceful expulsion from

GOLD SPECIMENS.

VIZ have few specimens of gold as found in
Mr.. DoRNs mine, which any one, curious about
such matters, can sec by applying at this office.
Mr.. DIS. mine continues TO yield prodigiously.
His profits would make the luckiest Californian
Of them all stare in asionishment
From gentleman just from the mine, we learn
that it has yielded, without the shadow Of doubt,
at the rate of ono thousand dollars per day. MIR.
D's expenses, in the opinion Of this gentleman,
cannot exceed S3Oa week. He has five hands
digging and two or three others differently en-
ployed lie has examined the rich vein he IS
now upon, l5O yards in advance of his present
work, and finds it quite as good as at the begin
ming. 1t is now almost certain that fortune will
be realized by him in short time, and we con-
gratulatc friend D. upon his singular good luck.
We stated some time ago that this mine was in
Edgefeld. The Abbevillo Banner has since
claimed it for that District, and as we learn,
very correctly. Mr.. DIS first operations were al
most upon the line between the two districts; he
is now several hundred yards on the hbbevillc
side.
But willie Abbcville has the mine, we have the

of no nation are permitted to do. Notice
has been repeatedly given to them, by the

that these liberties could not be permitted;
and finally formal notice was served on one
of them by the Collector of Astoria, that for
any future infractons of the revenue laws of
the United States he should proceed against
them forthwith, cohdening vessels and con-
fisca!iag cargoes, and thus brought matters
to crisis. The notice was communicated to
the agents of the Hudson's Bay Company by
the shipmaster upon whom it was served, and
by them communicated to the British Gov

subject of consideration in council, and Her
