HE PRESENT CONDITION OF OUR STREETS
We appeal to that portion of our citizens who
have been able to get the mud out of their eyes
to wake up and view the aspect which the city
now presents and also to consider the result of
such state of things which experience teaches
us are inevitable
The surface of the island is covered with an
alluvial deposit varying in depth from one to
six inches. An analysis Of this deposit will
give large per centage of vegetable matter,
in various stages of decomposition. The pro-
cess is rapid-the atmosphere is impregnated
by noxious gases-pestilence stalks in our
midst-it Stays its tens Of thousands. The peo-
pie bow to what they call the will of "Divine
Providence" They forget that this same
power has given them the means to prevent
the slaughter. No sane man can doubt that
our mortality bills are swelled by the nasty
condition in which we live-no, vegetate. The
men trot about the street with mud up to their
knees; the women who are brave enough to
venture out find that even long boots will not
protect them from the incursions of the same
monster, mud Mud in the parlor-mud in
the hall-mud on the sidewalk-mud on the
cothes-mud in the eyes-mud in the stage
mud in the cars-mud in the theatres-mud on
the breakfast table-mud in the saloons-in
fact, great sea of mud threatens to envelope
us all, and send the island of Manhattan to look
after the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. We
opine that if seven just men were necessary to
save us the candidates from City Hall would
oh bo11
The people stand viewing the great lakes Of
mud-they see daily swampings and adventures
more perilous than those of Captain Cook of
Otaheitan memory-and they are idle. What
is to be dcne? Let us see.
A meeting was called to be holden in the
Park yesterday afternoon, at which time the
citizens could agree upon some measures for
relief. But such was the state of the weather
and the nasty condition of the streets, and even
of the Park itself, that nothing like mass
meeting could be got together on such short
notice. 1t is now proposed that this meeting
shall be holden on Monday afternoon, (6th.)
We again appeal to the people to use this legiti-
mate and constitutional means to obtain their
rights-to secure clean and well-lighted streets.
They may meet and appoint committees of
safety with full power to act for them. The
moment these committees go to work
the citizens will be in fair way to bring
about the accomplishment of their desires.
The salvation of the city, the health OF It's citi-
zens, and the commerce Of its merchants, de-
pend upon the prompt action Of the people al
this crisis We know that Philadelphia mer-
chants have sent circulars to Western and
Southern traders, informing them Of the pre-.

warning them that if they come to New York

has already affected our trade, and it is but the
beginning of the end
Thus bad begins, but worse remains behind

might be expected from greater vigilance on the
part Of the police, and more searching inquiry

ANTI-SLAvERY MovEMENTs.-We understand
that new anti-slavery movement is about to
be set on foot in this city, and that it will con-
trive to combine literature with abolition.
Senator Cooley we understand is to preside
over the organization, and several literary men
have promised their valuable aid, assistance and
Import We understand also that the Hon.
John A. Dix has written three letters givingh his
reasons for opposing the Kansas-Nehraska bill |;
which letters are not to be published until GER
tain significant events occur at Washington.
We are at loss to understand this, discretion on
the part of Mr.. Dix and his correspondents, and
wonder the letters have not yet appeared in
print Hitherto, the politicians have allowed
themselves to be eclipsed by the social revolu-
tionaries in this Nebraska business; they have
some leeway to make up before they can COM
pete with Mrs. Stowe, Rev. Theodore Parker,
William Lloyd Garrison and Henry Ward
Beecher.

Judge Edmonds is pursuing his triumphant ca
reer in the West as the triumphant apostle of
the new spiritual religion. His lectures are
well attended, and everywhere strong desire
is evinced by the public to hear and investigate
the doctrines Of which the Judge is at least the
John the Baptist if not the Mahomet So far
we imagine that he and his co-spiritualists have
every reason to congratulate themselves on the
success of their creed. 1t has procured them no
ordinary share Of notoriety, and as Judge Ed
monds and those lesser though shining lights,
Mrs. Fish and her daughters, can testify, has
brought them likewise the more substantial
benefit Of dollars. In this latter re-
spect, Judge Edmonds and his colaborers
differ from the Apostles. We are not led to
believe that Peter or Paul charged an entrance
fee for admission to their lectures on "the I'm
known Cod" nor does it appear that, beyond
the bagatelle of half q dozen wives or so, Ma
homet cleared any thing worth mentioning by
his religious mission. We are more practical
in these latter days. Brigham Young's seraglio,
according to all accounts, is much better fur
nished with female beauties than Mahomet's
was, and besides, he has excellent farms, q snug
house, and variety of other creature comforts.
Mrs. Fish has exchanged very precarious live
lihood at Rochester for the best rooms athotels,
and has doubtless nice balance in some bank
er's hands. Judge Edmonds goes through the
world preaching the advent of his new reli-
gion to enraptured audiences at q quar-
ter of dollar head; and laying by
enough in his western tour to live quietly in
communion with the spirits of Socrates and
Plato for year or two at least. This is not
the only point of difference between Judge Ed
monds and the precursors OF apostles Of all for
mer successful religions. The Judge seems to
have some very inconsistent and unruly men,
bers in his flock We do not allude to those
spiritualists who are amusing Congress in its
idle moments by making Washington Clay and
Calhoun vote on the questions of the day; they
hardly suffer by comparison with the members
who vote in person But when the spirits be-
gin to infringe the banking laws as they did at
Chicago the other day, or pick locks as they
tried to do here, we think it is time to call
Judge Edmonds' attention to the fact. After
he has done lecturing tha Gentiles, couldn't he
manage to spare time for one short letter to
his brethren on that estimable virtue of the old
Christian religion-c common honestly

ORGANIZED MISUNDERSTANDING DIsCLO-
sUREs IN BRoOKLYN.-The evidence of Patrick
Cavanagh, before the Mayor of Brooklyn, pub
lished in yesterdays HERALD, throws good
deal of light on the destruction of property by
fires in that city. Cavanagh swears thath he was
hired by John McCarty, the owner oftwo houses
in Brooklyn, to set fire to them for the purpose
of obtaining the amount Of the insurance he had
effected, and gives a minute description of the
means to be employed for the purpose. We fan
cy that similar cases occur oftener here than in
Brooklyn, and recommend our police officers to
turn their attention to the subject. The insu-
rance is not always the object sought by the in
cendiary the herds Of rowdies who are always
to be found at fires, and are SO exceedingly active
in helping the householder to carry away his fur
niture, are probably more frequently concerned

The RECENT GERMAN ANrI-SLAvERY MEET
NG-QUEER PRoCEEDNGs.-We suspect that
our excellent friends the Germans, who have
hardly had time to get over the excitement into
which Bedini threw them, did not clearly I'M
derstand the object of the meeting at Washing
ton Hall on Friday. We are more than half
inclined to believe that they took it for an
anti-Maine law meeting. The most prominent
banner at the meeting was one inscribed "No
Maine liquor law" and the conduct and de-
meanor of the audience showed clearly that,
whatever their opinions on the Nebraska ques
ton, they were dead against any interference
with their liquor. The Germans, as general
rule, very wisely let the negro question alone;
while, on the other hand, they are faithful to
their hereditary traditions in the matter of
lager bier and grog. If the truth were known,
we shrewdly suspect that the resolutions which,
in the language of the reporter, were received
with hearty applause and adopted by acclama-
ton" were understood by fve-sixths present to
be protest against the Maine law.
