THE GREAT PAVEMENT JOB.

The Aldermen last night contaminated the Bowery
Pavement job so far their votes could do it, and
now only the Mayors signature is needed TO add SIX
hundred thousand dollars TO load of debt and tax
alton This little affair was arranged last year. and
has been DELAYED merely for the noise aud confusion
about official corruption and Aldermanic mafeasance
RI subside The petition of Messrs. Russ Il Reid
mot Of the citizens interested) offered in the
Board of Assistants on the 10th of December and was
referred 10 the Committee on Streets. On the 9th
of the month the Committee, Messrs. Wheean, McCon
kew and Rogers, reported in favor Of the prop
osition, and their report was at once adopted by
a vote Of l6 TO 2----the Nays being Messrs
Trotter. the President, and McGown. Coming to the
other Board sent 20 the Street Committee, two
of whom. AID Cornell aud Francis on the 9th inst,
also reported in favor OF the measure, and last night 1t
was put through by II votes being just one more than
the Charter required The reasons set forth BY the
Committee are, the economy of the Russ pavement ;
that Russ 4 Reid hold patent; that no other pave
ment is worth anything; the hazard Of trying expert
mepts which might interfere with the said patent and
particularly the liberal spirit of Messrs. Russ Il Reid
as manifested in other contracts. They have very
kindly procured opinions of counsel and established
the fact that Mr. Russ does actually hold patent,
and thereupon conclude that no pavement having
the least similarity TO his can ever be laid
without his permission Having thus made out a
case they wind up with proposition to give the con-
tract at Sc so per square yard Their trained troops
are on hand the Opposition endeavor to argue or
amend the resolution but they told that they might
as well save their pains that the thing sxed and might
AZ well pass now as ever After laughing at the anxiety
of the Opposition and dgniying their efforts as Bun
combe, the vote is called and announced Ayes H. Noes

possibly by the doubtful resort Of an Injunction al
though responsible parties willing and anxious put
down as good the pavement for about half
the money The City is thus paying nearly much for
the patent as does for the pavement and the Alder
men urge on the extravsgance-for what reasons are
host known to themselves.

Tlse North Us. the South.

The NarksviIle Clay EiI!ager, of the
18th instant, gives tie following incident,
which W. especially commend to the atten-
tion of the pSucsto philanthropsts OF the
North, who are 50 particularly interested in
the fabulous suferings OF the negro, tha:
they often permit white men and women to
die Of starvation, cold and inattention, un-
der thelr.very eyes, not being able to see or
appreciate want, except such as their jm1zi-
nations picture, a bhoasaal o. two miles oil.
"THE C0NTGAsT-Hhe yjsi5 to our par
j&h, some ten days since, Of II. B. Northrop
Esq, O. New York, while it has, no doubt,
been the means Of correcting in himself err
roneoli id .a5 os the South and It's insti.u-
tions may be Of the sqmc use to others Of
our Norslcru neighbours
The occasion OF bis visit was tllis A free
negro of New York having, some twelve
years ago gone to Washington D. c., in pur
suance Of his calling as musician, was
while there kidnapped by some villains, sent
, to the South and sold as a slave After
passing through the hands Of several mas
ters he eventually came into the possession
Of planter Of our parish As he knew
how to read and write he, either personally
or by Others made his friends at the North
acquainted with bis condition and his resi-
dence. His friends, at once, communicated
the intelligence to Mr.. Northrop, to whose
ancestors the negros ancestors formerly be-
longed, who had himself appointed as agent
Of the State Of New York, and came South
in that capacity.
Mr.. N. on his arrival here, after taking
legal advice, commenced suit by having
the negro sequestered. Mr. Epps. in whose
possession the negro was on being served
with the writ declared that he would offer
no opposition if satisfactory proofs were adj
duced Mr. Northrop having proved the
freedom Of the negro to the satisfaction of
Mr.. Epps and his legal adviser, Mr.. f. de-
clin9d all opposition although he loses the
amount which he had paid for him. On
the next day Mr. Northrop accompanied bv
the negro left for his home Sandy Hill, N.
York
This gentleman rcmaned in the midst of
a slave holding population for four DAYS with
out being although his object was known
subjected to the slightest affront or incon-
venience; ; but on the contrary received ev-
cry facility and attention that he required,
What contrast this presents to the treat
ment which Southerncrs receive at the
hands of the people Of the North, when in
pursuit of their fugitive slaves. How differ
ent it is from the Gorsuch, Kennedy, Lem
mon and other cases which are so common in
Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts,
and the other free States. Well may the
South boast of its justice and loyalty

Weller ON Paying Debts.

A few days ago, when a bill was under
consideration in the Senate to pay claim
against the government held by Brown, Rus
soil, d Co., the exemplary Senator from
California advocated its payment without
any deduction, on the ground that if the
cialm was good every cent of it should be
paid
This is step in the right direction for
Weller. Let him go ahead. There is a
claim OF sixteen thousand dollars against a
certain California Senator in the possession
OF Butler county, Ohio and it is just claim,
for the Senator appropriated, to speak
parliamentary, that sum from the coun-
tvs treasury many years ago. The
Wellerlan principle is that, when a
claim Is just, every cent should be paid -
We hope the WelleriaD logic will recor-
Mise the propriety Of the California Sena-
ator's paying what he owes Butler county.
II the California Senator has adopted in
his private practice the principle he ac-
knowledges as binding on the United States,
then he may congratulate himself on being
in advance of the Democracy of Mississippi
who have recently voted against paying a
just claim. The little boys and girls of
Butler county may now look toward with
hope to being educated as that was one of
the uses for which the original sixteen thou
sand dollars which got into private pocket
instead of schoolhouses was designated.

Hor WATER IN PARTs.-The artesian
wells Of Grenelle, 900 yards French (nearly
5000 feet English) in depth, continue to
supply water Of 80 Centigrade (S67Fah.)
throughout the year 1t being supposed
that Il large profit might be derived from a
liberal supply of this natural hot water, Il
company is about being formed for the pur-
pose OF boring in each Of the forty-eight
districts (2maJtjerSj of Paris, the Artesian
well. These forty-cight wells are each to
be 1000 French yards, or $500 feet in
depth, and are expected to yield water Of Il
temperature varying from l16 to 2l2 Fab,
the latter being the boiling point. The OBJ
iiect III view Is to establish hot water baths at
20 centimes (lbout iour centS) public wash
houses or laundrieg-tour in each district
furnish families with hot water, and final
