Thus, estimating the imports Of dutiable ar

new tariff would nearly amount to forty-fve
millions and half, not two millions more than
the revenue from that source, during the fiscal
year 1872
There are many other points in the tariff
which exhibit the same inconsistency, and to
which we shall advert hereafter. As whole it
is Of apiece with every other act of Gen. Pierce's
administration. Were it not for the corrupt
schemes nursed by the cabinet: were it not for
their insane efforts to set up foreign usurpers
with our money, were it not that they are re-
solutely bent q bribing the representatives Of
the people into base support of their policy,
and for all these purposes require as much mo-
ney as they could get, it would have been pos
sble to have carried out their original design
and reduced the rates of duty so as to tighten
substantially the popular burthens. As it was,
Pierce and his Cabinet have been terrified all
winter at the thought of parting with any in
strument Of corruption, or losing dollar where
with they might purchase conscience or
vote. They talked loud enough last December
Of reducing the revenue, but with January and
the Nebraska bill came uDquenchable thirst for
money, which has been growing upon them
ever since. The consequence is the project
of a tariff now laid before US, by which under
pretence of tightening our burthens, the go
vernment is still to wrest forty-fve to fifty
millions year from u.s. and if we prosper, and
import largely, fifty to sixty millions. This is
depicting the Treasury with vengeance; but
It is but another instance of the disgraceful du-
plicity with which every action of the present
executive is imbued. !.

The CHOLERA-THE STREETs.-Eight fifty
seven cases of cholera took place in the city pro-
per last week. These were, to be sure, sporadic
cases, but in very short time the disease may
assume the form of an epidemic, and instead OF
fifty cases we may have eight hundred. In
some localities we wot Of, the danger is immi-
nent. Filth and garbage of all sorts are under
going the process of decomposition under the
very noses of the police; the atmosphere is
laden with the noxious gases thus engendered,
and if we do not have the pestilence among US,
I will be the result of accident, and not because
the proper means have been taken to prevent it.
The danger is imminent; the action should be
prompt. In such localities as may be particu-
larly dirty, disinfecting agents should be freely
used. The streets should be kept as clean as
possible, and the sewers should be clear SO that
This business belongs to the Board of Health;
but if it is not attended to the citizens will do
it for themselves
We have not much to hope from any mem
bers of the present disorganized city govern
ment. Everybody is quarrelling with every
body else, and nobody has any time to spare
for the public business, the only purpose for
which they were elected, but the thing which
they think of last or not at all But we desire
at this time to say few words to the Chief Of
Police. He may not be aware of the fact that
many streets under his surveillance are daily
desecrated by heaps of garbage thrown from
the abutting houses In case we desired to pro-
duce pestilence, we know Of no better agent
than this same filthy stuff, generally made up
of half decomposed animal and vegetable
matter. There is city ordinance which makes
the throwing of this stuff into the streets o
crime punishable by fine, and we suggest to
Mr.. Matsell the propriety of enforcing this Or
dinance. We have seen offal thrown under the
very noses of policemen; they turned up their
noses and walked off; we desire that the often
ders should be walked off to the nearest magis-
trate and fined. Half q dozen examples "
would settle the matter. Will Mr.. Matsell see
that this is DONE and thereby secure to himself
the sweet consciousness that he has done his
duty?

The New Tariff Bill.

The new tariff bill, which we published In
| full yesterday, is we presume the fruit of seve-
raj months study on the part of the Committee
of Ways and Means in the House. 1t will take
the country by surprise, and if there still re
main any who place reliance in the honesty on
sincerity of the administration, will lead to &
tolerably unequivocal change Of sentiment or
| their part. Ii will be remembered that wher
an alteration in the customs duties was first pro
posed, it was advocated on the round that the
revenue from that source had become inconve
MONTY large, aud that therefore some reduction
was not only feasible but was actually required
| by the best interests of the country. Specie
was accommodating in the Sub-Treasury vaults
| to the detriment of trade and the embarrass-
| ment of our financial interests and all men
saw the necessity of adopting some plan for
guarding against the fatal danger of plethoric
treasury. 1t was on this ground alone that a
new tariff was proposed No substantial class
Of the community, no particular branch Of trade
or manufactures complained that the tariff was
pressing too heavily upon them. Every one
bore his burthen with resignation and admitted
by his silence that the tax he paid in the shape
of customs duties was reasonable aud fair. 1t was
solely and altogether as means of depicting
the Treasury that Mr.. Gnthrie and tae President
proposed to remodel the tariff of customs duties.
This being emphaticaNy declared by every
government organ and official whose opinion
was, ever expressed on the point and thoroughly
understood by the people, it will hardly be be-
lieyed that the new tariff project, reported by
the Committee Of Ways and Means, actually
contemplates no sensible reduction of the reve
nue. from this source. After all the -clamor
about tightening the public barthens, they are
left within q trife of what they are under the
present system. The figures are plain enough
on the point. The revenue from customs for
the year ending June 80, 1851, ives $49, Ol7 ,S67;
that for the year ending June 80, 1852, was
SAT 1889, 1926. The following year, a variety Of
causes swelled the customs revenue to $5S, $751;
$685. The new tariff contemplates a revenue of
nearly forty five millions and a half Of dollars.
Had the Committee of Ways and Means or the
administration, for we presume we may identi-
fy them one with the other, intended to relieve
the people by reducing the duties, they would
have given us tariff under which the estimated
venue to be collected would have done no.
thing more than pay the expenses of the gov
ernment This would have been reduction
which the people would have felt Instead of
this, however, we have tariff whose working
is shown in the following table,
