Who does not admire the impudence Of some
of these publishers of unknown papers? Who
does not regard with establishment the fact that
are the most unblushing in their demands
They are reformers, tool Pharisees, who make
long speeches in the market-place, and bore the
people with bad logic and worse grammar in
the shape Of appeals" to them The fact is,
they are like great many other thieves-they
desire a monopoly Of the business. They are
indignant at the Supervisors because their bills
are taxed, and, in several instances, made less
by twothirds. The table gives curious &C.
pose Of the estimate which our City Fathers
place upon the city papers They evidently
were not impressed in favor of one obscene
sheet whose bill was cut from $57 20 to
SIT So The military received severe blow.
as the Service Journal and the Argus were
cut down one-half The Supervisors believe in
. joke, and therefore allowed the reasonable
bill of the Pick. Religion received a blow
when the Church Journal was cut IF ON $50 to
SILL but 1t was made up again in the So so
which appears to have been added to the ac-
count Of the Sabbath Recorder Our young
friend Of the Times suffered to the extent Of
SIS The Retormer, the Reform the Mirror,
the Peoples Organ, and other " reform" papers,
seems, charged too much, and were cut
severely. The Clipper. (what is the Clipper,
and where is it printed y charged SAC rs, and
was allowed sl3 IS. The modesty of this
paper is only equalled by its obsclrity.
Altogether, we must say that the Super
visors have given us q very entertaining holt
day book, and by its figures, which cannot
indulge in falsifsation, we are enabled to show
our readers the hollowness Of earthly things in
general and the hypocrisy of New York jour-
nalists in particular. The above tables give
the clearest indications " to which are the
" black-msil" papers, and we leave our readers
to their own reflections

THE PRoeREss OF THE MODERN PROPHET
Judge Edmonds, we are told, is performing a
sort Of triumphal tour through this State, and
lecturing on spiritualism with all the fervor of
true believer. His hegira dates from last
year. Hitherto he has not been particularly
successful, his converts being chiefly old
ladies. weak minded young men, and broken.
down politicians, But he must not despair.
Mahomet had but seven disciples for some years
after he discovered the immutsble doctrines Of
the Koran. Judge Edmonds must content him
selfwth the old ladies and the superanuusted
politicians for some time to come.

ipgton will turn their attention to this sub
ject and secure such notifications Of the exist
ing revenue laws as will meet the necessities
Of our present gigantic steamships-such
notifications as win protect the treasury
against smugglers without subjecting the ves-
sci to detention, or the company interested to
excessive bonds for the trifling peeadilloes OF
their employees. And if there is to be . revt-
sion OF the tariff it may be well to inquire
whether the abolition OF the duties on lSces,
Diamonds, &C., or material reduction Of the
same, would not be the simplest policy, and
the best for the suppression OF this sort Of
smuggling.
THE CoMc LITERATURE OF New YoRK-THH
SUPERVISORS AND THE CRY PREss.-The Board
of Supervisors have just printed their doings,
and they give an account of the claims presents
ed to them and the sums allowed tor bills
against the city during the past year. Though
the document is intensely practical, yet we ara
indebted to it for considerable amount Of
amusement 1t gives several instances OF the
cool impudence Of the Erpress, and they are
really delicious For example, the statement
several papers-the HERALD's charge was sos;
the Sun, $50; the Journal Of Commerce and
other of the Wall street papers, $50 and $25,
according to their circulation; while the Er-
press, with circulation not exceeding six
thousand, (at the most liberal calculat0n) had
the sublime impudence to charge the same price
as the HERALD, and the Supervisors were YER
dant enough to allow it. Now, either we are
very liberal, or else the city was swindled by
the Express. one Of. the reform" papers As
our circulation is fifty thousand, we should
have charged $500 for this advertisement.
Some journals have . convenient sliding scale
of prices for advertising and would charge the
city 500 for the same work that they would be
happy to do for citizen for $40 or SIS.
In another place we find that the New York
Demokrat, GERMANY received $40 for an ad-
vertisement, the National Democrat for tho
same $50, and the HERALD, $50. The HERALD's
circulation is undoubtedly ten times as much
as that of either of the other papers I!

The END or KoszrA.-We understand that
the far-famed Martin Koszta is now in this city
in state Of utter destitution. An application
has been made to US on his behalf by friend
Of his for petty clerkship in our establishment
worth five dollars a week. We are sorry to
say hat we have no vacancies; but surely be-
tween Commodore Ingraham who obtained a
medal and ever SO much glory, and Mr.. Marcy
who procured a ready made reputation as a
statesman, solely and entirely out OF Koszta,
something might be done for the poor fellow.

of his crew.
At the present time steam and sailing vessels
are worth from 100000 to 100000, with
crews of from sevepty-fye to one hundred and
thirty persons, any one of whom has the power
of FORGETTING the ship by smuggling goods about
his person. 1t is an absolute impoSsibility for
the owners or captain to prevent it, notwith-
standing all the care and diligence they may
use, unless every person was stripped naked
every time they left the ship. And, although
the Collector and officers of the customs may
be perfectly convinced that the owners of the
ship and the captain are not only not concerned
in the smuggling, but had on all occasions done
everything possible to protect the revenue
laws, and had given information to the
customs on various occasions, which had
led to the detection Of persons impli-
Gated, and had themselves offered rewards
to any one who would give information,
yet they are by law obliged to seize the ship.
Such was the case in the recent seizure of the
Alps, upon an allegation that goods found at
the Atlantic Hotel, Jersey City to the value
of $l,700, the duty on which would be $500 to
$500, were supposed to have been struggled
from that vessel by the steward, notwithstand-
ing that the Collector and Surveyor cheerfaily
exonerated the owners, agent and captain, Of
the ship from the slightest knowledge OF the
matter, and were aware that they did every
thing in their power to maintain the laws, yet
they were put to the inconvenience of giving
bonds for $4,000, while the fees for libelling
the shin and giving honda amounted ID &447
The imposition of heavy duties upon articles
OF great value and small bulk such as dia-
monds, laces, embroideries and watches, is i'm
polite, tending to decentralization, and injurious
to the honest trader, and does not protect any
branch of manufactures in this country.

and Means Of the House or the Senate at wash

ANNEXATION would render tho influence Of this country
