Corporate Reforms,

We have watched with much interest the
united condemnation with which the press.
without regard to sect or party, has visited the
abuses Perpetrated by the city authorities of
New York, and the signal approval given by
popular vote to the features of reform intro
duced into the city charter by recent act of
The Legislature. The fearless specification OF
official corruption made by the grand jury, and
the exposure of reckless fiscal extravagance
presented 6y Commissioner FLAGG, will con-
vince the world that republican people will
not tolerate an abuse of public trust, nor finch
from applying the proper corrective.
The new charter seems effectually to ex-
clude the future possibility of the fragrant
abuses so universally condemned. The mum
Der of councilmen is so much enlarged tha,
scarcely any private enterprise will justify the
expenditure necessary to secure a majority by

Fanny FERE.-The Boston Transcript having
declined the New York Mirrors request, in behalf
of curious public, to raise the veil from Fanny
Fern" the fair incognita of the press, the Cayu-

Fanny Fern is in the meridian Of wonanhood,

brown hair, with curl in it. have sometimes

Her forehead s broad and high, brim full of poetry
and the wine of life swells the blue veins until they
look like vines branching on her brow. She has
large, light eyes. healthy, honest, not handsome
face, beautiful bust; in word, form OF perfect
mould She walks with elastic step. which
indicates unyielding energy Of purpose. She is

From the NetD York Times, June Z /.
LoW-Pressure on the Ohio.

More than twenty years have passed since the
use of the low pressure engine, in navigating
the Mississippi and Ohio, was given up as un-
time the experiment kept tolerabe pace
with the highpressure machinery, until the
rapid improvement in the latter, giving in
creased speed TO nearly all the boats TO
which it was applied, drove out the competition.
The main difficulty of the low-pressure was in the
distractions to the free working of the valves from
the mud and sand of the Mississippi water; the
came difficulty occurring also on the Ohio during
it's freshets. Many Of the smaller engines were also
unequal to the rapid currents in some points in
the river, though this merely defect of pow
err. rather than principle. The trial was not
rendered until after two large boats had
been built in New York with first class engines
and sent round to take their chances against the
formidable currents and turbid waters of the
West. The Champion was one of these, and the
result was any thing but consis ent with the high
pretensions OF her name.
We now find in our western exchanges no.
tice of return to the low pressure engine by the
Cincinnati and Louisville Mail Company. II is
stated that the former difficulty, which not only
INSTRUCTED but soon cut out the valves, has been
remedied by modern improvement, and that e'per-
feet protection has been secured. 1t is not
known, however, whether the subordinate consid-
Grafton, that the gree Ter weight of machinery re-
CURED 10 give adequate power can only be applied
to large draught boats, has been overcome. The
size of the boat built for the present trial-the ia
COB Strader-s not given in the extracts before
she is OF medium tonnage, with f1rst-class power.
The trial-trip only has been had. We have yet
TO hear how the experiment works, practically,
on the round voyage. The Cincinnati CONNER
ciaf thus refers to the frat movements of the ma
chinery:
"Before coming opposite the city (having first
to head down stream) the condensers, from some
momentary defect Encouragement. became
hot, and the engines were stopped. Consequent
ly, the boat hoated leisureiy past the city. When
at the mouth of Millcreek the engines were again
started. and worked at moderate speed until near
Iy opposite the mouth of the Great Miami. Here
turn was made, and in one hour and fifty three
minutes she was refined up above the foot OF Broad
way. The best time made against the current
was, as could be estimated, twelve miles
per hour She did not al any time raise the steam
to more than twenty pounds to the inch, while
the maximum allowed is forty Six pounds will
work the engines quite readily, and twenty
pounds causes the wheels, forty feet in diameter,
to make thirteen revolutions per minute, The
suit was, upon the whole, highly satisfactory. 1t
Is seldom that such mass of new machinery
works at once 30 smoothly and well.''

The PROSPECT OF GOLD IN TExAs-Mr Stuart
senior editor of the Galveston Ciriian, lately re-
turned from Austin, and made it point during
bis visit to make close inquiry into the reports of
gold'inding in the State The Civilian says:
"Out Of the numerous persons he cav who had
visited the reputed gold region he did not find one
who had found, and but one or two who had seen,
gold to the value OF single dollar. Only one or
two are reported with any plausblity TO have OBJ
tanned even a few dollars. A few grains may be
gathered in some places. though not to the value
Of twenty cents day. Yet there probably a
thousand persons engaged in the search, and othere
are still going to supply the places of those who
return disappointed. Expeditions are organized
to seek in every direction, far and near; and if
gold or other valuab minerals to be found in
the State, they will doubtless be discovered. In the
mean time we advise those who are laboring un-
der the frst symptoms of the gold mania to stay
at home and attend to their business. if they have
any, until those already engaged in the search
shall have something more favorable TO report
