The remains Of the lamented Mrs. Fillmore ar
rived here by the train, via Camden and Amboy last
evening, and were received at the landing by few
personal friends, among whom we noticed his Honor
Mayor Westervelt, Messrs. Maxwell Bokee, Brady,
Tallmadge, Phoenix, Howard, Haws, and Hoxie and
were conveyed to the Irving House, where ample
arrangements had been made for their reception
It was observable that his great affection had
deeply marked the countenance of Mr.. Fillmore,
and all who beheld him, with his son and daughter,
could not but commisserate with them in their ire
parable loss.
Messrs. Livingston, Wells & Co., rendered one Of
their new spring carriages to convey the remains Of
Mrs. Fillmore to the Irving House. The Erie, Buf.
fale and New York City Railroad and also the Hud.
son River and Central Railroad line to Buffalo, ten.
dered special cars for the Presidents family and
friends.
They leave at six o'clock this morning, bv the
Hudson river train, direct to Buffalo, accompanied
by Mr.. Hemenway and lady, Mr.. Powers, and mr..

ent that in our day shall come the henl.r r:s
Of imp0ssure.
Even in contracting our view, and excnsng-
ing the panorama of the whole world for MI
croscopic inspection of the community IN which
we live, we shall find the same tendency app"-
rent on q smaller scale. Have we not our
civic reformers. Laugh as we will at the noisy
takers who are riding race against obscurity,
on the backs Of the Aldermen, there Is mucn
substantial. practical meaning in the recent
crusade. Recorder Tillou is desperately seri-
GUS in carrying out the investigation which the
Grand Jury entrusted to his hands Nor are
the Assistant Aldermen, silly as the reports
Of their proceedings may sometimes seem,
in anywise loath to pursue the Augean
task they have undertaken. Judge Beebe
declines to throw the shield OF impu-
nity over poor Aldermen Smith and Bard;
like Curtius, they must be engulphed in the
| chasm which the wrath Of the gods has opened,
to atone for the sins of their shrewder brethren.
| Meanwhile the reformers themselves are being
reformed It was too bad Of Mr.. Butler to
| turn States evidence and peach on his too conf
placent cronies. He ought to have foreseen
that he might be anatomical in his turn, and
that an autopsy of his civic corpse would dis
close deformities not less loathsome than those
which he denounced in such wearisome dry as
dust style. Courage! say we, nevertheless,
to both parties. Courage, Mr.. Butler, in expo
sing the Aldermen! And courage Mr.. Barr
in exposing Mr. Butler! The country needs
you both.
Thus we are ioggipg. 81 81 our Social Scotia
economy. As we advance, controverted points
will disappear, and sources Of corruption, by
pocrisy and imposture will be dried up Fol
our part, we can only repeat to ono and all O
the cosmical purifcators-courage.

They will, perhaps, make their first grand debut

some party or other as a candidate for Congress
He might do this, even here, within the imme-

TIE CrY hHfo' n BnL-AGoNY OF THE
Tines AND TRBr m,-As va expected, the City
Reform bill ~as approved by the Tammany
Hall meeting Of last evening, and nothing will
Eow interfere to prevent its becoming law.
Apropos Of this subject quite hubbub has been
created in Nassau street by the publication of
the bill in this paper twenty-four hours in ad-
vance of its contemporaries. The Tribune and
the Times are in divine wrath at having been
beaten. The former impudently accuses Mr..
George F. Alden of having sent us the docu-
mcnt and INDUCES freely in those vulgar ex-
pletives which are its usual substitutes for ar
gument. So furious is its choler that it refuses
to acknowledge the merits Of the bill, which it
had not the enterprise to procure, and blindly
avows q prediction for the incomplete and
defective project reported by Mr.. Smith
Strange to say, the Times practises q more
commendable fortitude under the affection. If
we except an ungentlemanly allusion to g thin
BILE rigging" and a rather spiteful snarl at our
selves, the language used by the Times is, we
are bound toeay within its limits OF propriety
and decorum. Though smarting under the
sting of defeat, the editor Of the Times has
abstained from quoting that peculiar vocabu-
larry which is the vernacular Of rowdies, scaven-
gers, and the editors Of the Tribune.
But while our contemporaries give vent to
their vexation, each in the way which his natu-
raj disposition and habits of life were likely to
prompt, they both agree in charging member
of the New York delegation with the enormity
of acting as our correspondent at Albany. The
sgnsss MI RsHr Dy kt s sa DE-
the more cautious course of slandering in gene
raj terms, "a member Of the delegation" Now,
we distinctly and emphatically assert, that
neither Mr.. Alden, nor any other member Of
the New York delegation, sent us the report
and bill published exclusively in the HERALD
Of Wednesday. The statements to the contrary
in the Tribune and Times Of yesterday are en-.
tirely destitute of foundation and untrue AT
the same time. the public will probably be Of
opinion that had Mr.. Alden, OF any other mem
Der, actually committed the terrible deed
charged, the proceeding would only have
evinced very laudable desire on his part to
procure for documents of great public interest
an earlier and wider circulation than they
could otherwise have obtained.
