THOMAS c. SCARBOROUGH AND THE STATE Au-
DIToRsHIP. The gentleman whose name heads
this article having been spoken of in connection
with the office of Auditor of the State, and he
having been announced in our paper of this
morning for that post, we deem the occasion a
fitting one to make few remarks relative 10
his qualifications. As the time approaches 70
fill the office, made vacant by the new consti.
tuition in November next, we naturally lool
around us for proper person who can be made
available by the wing party. Prominent for
popularity among the old party servants whose
names have been suggested, is that of the gentle
man above mentioned With those who know
him, it will be unnecessary to say that he is
universally esteemed as a high minded, honora
BILE, and very popular whig A very large
number of his party in the Northern parishes
have already expressed their preference for him
as their candidate. He has consented to the
use of his name, and those who have put him
forward must rely upon themselves to secure a
favorable consideration of their claims on his
J behalf before the Convention which is to be
called. Mr.. Scarborough has served the wing
party long and faithfully, and certainly deserves
an acknowledgment for his efforts in the cause

GfSsrsT EHog OF far ALDERMEN ~-Ist the 'est
l4ctting a the Board OF Aldermen, Mr. Converse
introduced resolution proposing to employ one
thousand men and as many carts as necessary
for term not to exceed fifteen days, to clean
the streets; and also to spread the requisite
quantity of lime.
The resolution was promptly rejected we
next find in the report of the proceedings tue
following
| "a resolution to build a bridge across 'he
New Canal at its junction with St Paul stree,'
for the greater convenience of burying the ueau'
was adopted.
Now, whatever may be the faults OF the Al
dermen. they are evidently alive to the impor-
lance of consistency While by their refusal to
heal the sick they are filing every quarter OF
the city with the dead, they hasten to provide
9, copreniences" for burying them.
And herewe cannot help feeling compliment
ed by the attention their constituents have re.
ceived at their hands, so superior to that which
they have bestowed upon the canine tribe
While, by means of poisoned sausages they have
strewed our cutters with dead carcases, they
very properly refuse an appropriation for bury
ing them. We rejoice that, although they think
our lives are of no more worth than those of the
| beasts that perish, at least they consider Us
worthy of sepulture! Let us, in these times, be
GO thankful for small things"

THE BOARD OF ASSISTANT Al DERMEN. "A spe-
cial meeting of this body was called for last
evening by the Mayor, on the requisition Of sew
eral members, butsno quorum being present,
they did not go into session. The object OF the
meeting, as we understand it, was to take some
measure to defeat the resolution passed at their
sitting of the 10Th instant, granting the right
of way along Broad street to the Pontchartran
Railroad Company. Less than a dozen mem
bers attended, and the presumption is that the
majority staid away, having learned from the
morning papers that the resolution of the 18th
was the very one they wanted to pass and
needed no amendment, as had been suggested
by learned member at their sitting on Tues
day night. We are glad to see the Assistant
Board giving such extraordinary evidences of
accumen. They are right second time.
There is hope for them yet!

EDITORS CRESCENT GeHtiemeH BY your
permission will attempt to answer on my own
as well as myneighbors' account, the oft repeat
ed question of why 50 many cases of yellow fever
and black yomit occur in the neghb0rhoOd of
Laurent street During fourteen years resi-
lence in this city, | have never seen a street in
such filthy condition as this Can you wonder
at this, when | tell you that for SIR months
there has not been man here to take away one
shovel of filth that the cutters have not been
opened in that time that in consequence of this
shameful and wicked neglect, the cutters are
completely covered with thick green scum
which is so offensive that it is almost impossible
for one TO pass The writer Of this some time
ago inquired Of the Street Contractor why this
street was so neglected His reply was this :
" Where in the deuce is Laurent street This
is the first time that ! ever heard Of it." Now.
for the benefit Of our authorities, will state
that it is the continuation Of Hercules street,
Fourth District and although a short street Of
only Two squares, extending from st Andrew
to jackson street 1t contains more filth and
sickness than any other street Of four times it's
length and number of inhabitants in this city
If any Of our officers whose duty it is to attend
to such affairs should start for this neighborhood
he had better supply himself with stills and a
bottle Of hartshorn, if he wishes to return alive

ARREST "A gang of thieves were arrested in
Cleveland last week on the steamer Crescent
City, having, during the trip from Buffalo, alb
stracted several small sums of money from the
pockets ofpasseugers while asleep in their berths.
The men arrested are named Dillon Morgan and
Miner Two others, whose names are not ated,
but who are said to be Buffalo men, were also
secured. The fellows were supplied with false
nuts, made of iron, and which are most inge-
NOUS dodge" They can be crammed full of
bank notes and placed upon the arches, where,
if observed at all, they will appear as regular
fixtures. When carried in the pocket, in case
of the owner getting into tight-place, they can
be hurled into the lake and sunk in short order.
Dillon and Morgan, while in Buffalo, procured
a new set of burglars instruments to supply the
place of those which had been previously taken
from them at Cleveland. The seamps were all
lodged safely in Jail.
