FERRY LEASES UNDER THE New CHARTER,
The first sale of a ferry lease according to Il
provisions of the new city charter, took pla,
at the City Hall yesterday, and the result
very satisfactory, as will be seen by a full
port given elsewhere to-day. This ferry is
new one, to be established from the foot
Chambers street to Pavonia avenue in Jerse
City, locality by no means equal, in pee
mary sense, to any other Of the North river fs,
ries. Yet the lease of this new ferry sold ye
terday at public auction, for rent of $500
per annum. How does this income compare vii
that Of the other ferries on this side of the city

ken for 5000, the Barclay street for 500, and Il

something due from us to republican principles!

as they are? Without the subsidies Of this treaty,
Santa Annals ambt GUS schemes will soon be
superseded he will be expelled from the
country as an impostor; and then, as the only
remaining alternative, between anarchy and
total destruction on the one hand, and
safety and good government on the other,
the people of Mexico will seek the shelter OF

government, and our all-pervadng happiness

What will the Senate do? Grant the five mil

and the Californians viii soon put the affairs of
Mexico in favorable train for a permanent
adjustment, or, if he falls the Mexican people
will inevitably be driven as fast as we can de-
SIRE to the saving expedient Of annexation.
Finally, considering this Mexican compromise
as involving wasteiul expenditure of money,
and the establishment of despotism inconsis-

too, that our true policy towards Santa Anna

wise would imply either that ar Pierce has
changed his views and opinions radically since
1851; or that in that year ard for six years
previously, he had been giving out opinions
which his conscience disfApproved. No one
familiar with the slavery controversy
will suppose that honest conviction
can have altered Mr.. Pierce's mind
since 1861. Once an aboltionist. a man is az
ways one. The mania seizes hold OF the feel
ipgs, ana never releases its grasp. No man has
ever sJAoken az Franklin Pierce did and after
wards acknowledged his error. Nor can we
reasonably suppose that he was not sincere
when he declared that he saw no single thing
connected with slavery that was not obnoxious"
In one word. Franklin Pierce was and is aud

The friends of the new measure which, if

How THE STREETS ARE CIEANEp.-The p,u
nicipal demise OF the late lamented Mr.. Arcula-
rius, Commissioner of Streets, gives partcu-
lar opportuneness to the following anecdote.
Mr.. Alderman Mott Of this city lives in street
which is never cleaned; we don't know which
but any name may be taken at hap hazard. Mr..
Alderman Mott one day demanded authorita-
lively that his street should be cleaned. No
answer; no brooms; no carts; no cleaning. Mr.
Alderman Mott reiterated his complaint and
his request more imperatively than before.
Like result: no signs Of cleaning. Fully reused,
and feeling that as reform magistrate he was
bound to do something for his city, Mr. Alder
man Mott boldly assailed the lion in his den,
the man ia his office. why has my street
not been cleanedi" inquired the irate citizen.
Your street 7" replied the official or his de-
putty: "why my good sir, look here |" and with
q plying smile the denizen of the street clean
ing office showed the Alderman an account book
in which several entries of sums paid for clean
ing the identical street met his astonisbed gaze.
The dates were carefully inserted and the
amounts paid in dollars and cents were marked
down with an accuracy worthy OF Cocker.
Fancy Alderman Motifs "phelinx'' as he walked
out of the Office and began to think whether he
could have beea dreaming since new year. or
whether all his friends and relations had en-
tered into conspiracy to persuade him that his
street had not been cleaned when it bad.
Alderman Mott and his street are the rule,
not the exception. A thorough survey Of
the Street Commissioners books would we
doubt not. disclose some very funny charges
for street cleaning Now that Mr.. Arcularius is
gone, we recommend people to call and see for
Themselves. Let them save themselves the
trouble Of abusing that estimable functionary.
We have no doubt he will spend happy aud

slavery. in the removal of our black population
to the country Of their ancestors. Every now
and then we see paragraph in some of our sane
timonious journals giving currency to this
charming delusion.
1t was the opinion of Mr. Calhoun, however,
who certainly devoted some study to the
characteristics of the African race-that con-
slant reinforcements from the United States
would be found necessary to keep the little re-
publican colony Of Liberia alive-or, that other
wise, in a generation or two it would sponta-
Deously relapse into the native barbarism by
which it is surrounded The downward pro.

OF the report of one of the great missionary so
cieties ofLoDdon, for the conversion of the Hin
docs. After expanding seventeen years of hard
labor among the Hindoos, with preachers, teach
ers schools, tracts, and Bibles and after an out
lay in the good work of over million of pounds
sterling, they had achieved the conversion of
five of those benighted heathen-two of whom
had relapsed again into pagan idolatry. The
fact is that the curse of Ham is borne out by
six thousand years of the history of his de-
scendants. Among the Oldest tombs Of Egypt
he figures in their painted sculptures rs 4 slave;
and except in the condition Of servitude or sob
lection to q higher race, he has never risen
above the condition of savage. Still, for the
sake Of maintaining Liberia, let the colonial
tion scheme go on. II Is at least an oasis in
the desert.

The Election The People Taxing Them
selves Ten Millions by Acclamation.


The election is over The work is done. The
people, with quiet sort of Indifferent acclama-
tion truly remar kable, have resolved to tax
thems elves ten millions tocomplete the enlarge
ment of the Erie Canal as far as ten millions
will do it, The measure has been carried with
q GOODNESS and Indifference that are positively
refreshing. The change in the organic law was
contaminated with less excitement than would
have been created by fight between Tom Hyer
and Yankee Sullivan in California. The fail in
breadstufis, as the consequent necessity ofcheap-
ening their transportation from the West, may
have had some influence over the public mind;
although the war with Turkey will in all pro-
liability be ended before any reduction in -four
is effected by the canal enlargement Had a
pacific note from the Gar been received by the
last steamer. the reduction in -four which would
have Immediately followed might have some
what modified the result; but the ten millions
were inevitable, peace or war.
The vote is exceedingly small, less than
thirteen thousand-or about one-fifth of the
the sum total of both sides for this city. AT
this rate the vote of the State would be less
than o hundred thousand, all told, for and
against this amendment of the constitution.
In the interior. however, from the returns re-
ceived, the popular turnout has been much
larger than upon this island, and the majority
among the rural districts for the ten millions is
even greater than here. Throughout the State,
we should not be surprised if the tax were car
ried ten to one, upon one-fifth of the popular
vote. In word, the election has gone by de-
fault, ana ten millions are added to our State
debt by general consent and indifference.
What is a matter of ten millions to New York.
with -four at ten dollars a barrel!
The banks will rejoice at this addition to the
basis of their paper infations-Wall street will
rejoice, the stock jobbers generally. and the
canal jobbers particularly, will rejoice, at this
great triumph for the spoils. And we are also
inclined to rejoice. for the people are flush of
money and liberal and in this vote of yester.
day clearly authorize us to raise the price of
the HERALD to three cents copy, cash down.
We shall take the matter into serious consider
alton. These are flush times; and where ten
millions are mere bagatelle VINO can grumble
at three cents copy for the HERALD?
The returns of the election up to the hour of
going to prese will be found in another part of
this paper. They are positively unique and re-
ffeshiDg.
