Our New City CAarter-Onc Day for Retrench-
meht and Reform.


ment and Reform.
Citizens of New York the day is here, and
the issue is before you. One days good earnest
work for retrenchment and reform will settle
the question. as we verify believe, by an over
whelming majority Give US those amendments
to our city charter, ard most of the numerous
ieakages of our city treasury will be stopped,
and our corporate authorities will be placed
under the wholesome restraint hnd penalties Of
sound discipline, to much grdhter extent than
the most sanguine reformer could have hoped
for six months ago. Thus the corruptions for
which our city fathers have become SO noto-
rious may result in the greatest advantages to
the whole community.
Let Mr.. Flagg be sustained to-day by
the voice of every ward in the city.
Give us limit to our taxations and
open New York to the working man as place
of residence. The work of his expulsion to
Long Island Connecticut. up the Hudson and
over to New Jersey, has been going on long
enough. Do something to-day, that will invite
the bone and sinew of our population to live
among us. The whole community, the city and
the State, will be the gamers by it, Give US
the new charter. Let every friend of the cause.
however confident of success cast his vote for
the new charter The larger the majority the
better. and there may be a stronger opposition
to the charter than many are prepared for. Be
ware Of illegal voting. and the penalty Of one
hundred dollars against all violations of the
elective franchise. Give US clean, full over
whelming vote for the new charter. We trust
that the enthusiastic meetings of Saturday
night and last evening, will be duly ratified to-
day, in the ratification of the new charter. The
new charter is the word. Give US the new
charter.

CONGRESSIONAL OFFICE BEGGING.-We learn
from Washington, that large number Of MEM
beers of Congress are still there boring for petty
clerkships in the departments, for their relar
tiyes and friends. As mere matter of friend
ship to those they are seeking to have appointed,
it is hoped they will not succeed. 1t is mise
rable life for any man capable of earning liv-
ing in any other way. The salaries are not suf
fcient to support families in Washington unless
with the most painful economy In few years
clerk finds himself suddenly removed. by the
process OF rotation"-the same by which he
himself obtained offce-without money, often
times in debt. The monotonous vegetation Of
his official existence has disqualified him for
more vigorous pursuits, and yet, under all
these disadvantages. he is obliged. at a mo-
ment's notice, to begin life again.
But we simply desire to notice the fact that
so many members of Congress arc fighting for
those very petty spoils" at present. and to
suggest that it is scarcely for such duties they
were elected by the people. They degrade
their position, and lower their personal influence,
by such unremitting Office begging

THE RIVER MAIL BETWEEN LOUISVILLE AND
New ORLEANs-The statements which have
been published with regard to the newly or
ganized mail route between Louisville and
New Orleans, by the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers, are, we understand, incorrect in several
particulars The route was advertised for
twice daily service, by the department, some
months ago, for an express mail line touching
at the more important Offices, and way line
supplying all the intermediate offices. The
lowest bid for the whole service was that of
Glover & Mather, at $45O,0OO per annum. 1t
was alleged by many persons that the adver-
tisement provided for much more service than
was required by the wants of the country
through which the route was established The
subject was long time before the department
without being settled, when the present Post
master General Judge Campbell, came into
Office, and being satisfied of the fact that the
expenditure called for under the advertisement
was greater than necessary. 80 modified the
acceptance as to dispense with the way mail
between Cairo, Illinois, and st. Francisville,
Louisiana, saving S64 miles of way mail trans
portation, and of $152,O25 per annum in money.
Had the acceptance stood as originally made,
S6Os 100 would have been expended during the
term of four years, without any corresponding
benefit to the country.

Dictator himself in this military movement into
The disputed territory. In that case Santa
Annals answer may be anticipated Relying
perhaps too confidently upon the support ofcer-
tain European powers in the event OF another
collision with this country, he may not only de-
cline to yield the neutrality Of the Mesilla
Valley, but he may possibly make its surrender
to Mexico his first requisition and his ultimatum.
The whole issue of peace or war depends upon
the temper of the two parties; and while we
are rather apprehensive that our administration
is not averse to military glory, nor disposed to
resist the temptations of manifest destiny
we cannot dismiss the suspicion that Santa
Anna is resolved to maintain his position at
home at the risk of another war with the United
States. Or. if it be his object only to rally the
Mexican people to his support, in assuming his
present attitude of hostility to this country and
the Anglo Saxon race, he may play the dema-
gogue too far, and be compelled to drift with
the current when he can no longer control it.
But, even conceding that the policy Of peace
is the desire of General Pierce, and that the
warlike manifestos of Santa Anna amount to
nothing, it is still to be feared that there may
be q collision between the troops of Governor
Trias and the troops of General Garland, in the
disputed territory. They may both occupy the
said territory without coming to blows but the
march of General Taylor to the disputed
boundary of the Rio Grande, in 1916, affords no
guarantee of an amicable joint military occu-
patton; nor does it give us any assurance that
tba CHI 1l Of g.. A
soil' may be perpetrated without involving a
formal declaration of war.
To sum up our conclusions taking it tor
granted that Governor Trias has marched to
occupy the disputed territory, we suspect that
he has acted under Santa Annals authority.
We fear, therefore, and considering all the
declarations and circumstances attending the
Dictator's return to his capital, that he is not
disposed to a pacific policy towards the United
States-that he counts upon the support of
England, or France, or Spain. in the event Of
another war. and is working industriously
to effect an alliance on the one hand and
q rupture on the other. The inclinations
Of our government are foreshadowed by the
Washington organ. Our Cabinet are disposed
to be generous and merciful. but they are also
alive to the duties Of progress" and mani
fest destiny" An act, which is pronounced an
act Of insolence and folly" may possibly in
volve the necessity of thrusting Mexico to the
wall. In word. there is a good pretext, ia
vorable conjuncture of events. and an encour-
aging disposition on both sides, for another war
between the United States and Mexico. Pre-
pare arms.
