A SWEEPING EFFORT TO RECLAIM VIcE-The
May or's Office yesterday presented painfully
interesting, but, happily, novel scene. Upwards
of forty CypliaDs of the pave had been arrested
by the police on the previous evening, in pur-
suance 10 the directions of Mayor Wood, in his
onward efforts at reformation; they were con-
veyed to the Tombs, and taken thence yesterday
to the May or's office marching two abreast,
ard attracting crowds of the curious who fol-
lowed in their train, and thronged the passages
Of the City Hall, anxious to learn the fate of
the accused. The frail ones were from the
Eighth and Fourteenth wards-fair specimens
of our city morality--and their ages varied be-
tween fifteen and five and thirty years. They
were called up in order before Justice Osborne,
confronted with the accusing policemen, and dis.
posed of with considerable facility, according to
their acknowledged periods ofprofigacy. About
thirty were sent to the peDitentiary for terms
OfimprisoDment varying from one to six months,
and few of the less hardened in crime were
discharged on the promise that they would ego
and sin no more" The complaint against one
female was dismissed on it being shown that she
was decent married woman.
There is no doubt that q reform is needed In
our streets to prevent the eye of virtue being
offended by the parade Of vice. There is no
doubt, also, that the tears and wailogs of the
poor wretches yesterday excited the SYM
pathies Of many manly heart; but the moral
sense of the community will be with Mayor
Wood, even though his endeavor to purge our
public thoroughfares of these impurities be
based upon questionable measures for its at
tainment.
We think, however, that this sudden on
slaught might have been avoided, If our police
performed their duty properly, instead Of
lounging at COZ ners of streets and smoking Sc
gars, or drinking and talking politics in rum
shops Now III Paris and in London, the ap-
pearance of policeman in his uniform is sufi-
cient to prevent breach of the peace, or to
deter an exhibition of unseemly establishments
on the part of the unfortunate class 80 nume-
rous as consequence of the vices of the stern
er sex. In those European cities policeman
is constantly on his beat, walking up aud down;
he warns the unfortunates that if they do not go
BIZ me or leave his district he will remove them
to the station house knowing that the threat
would be carried into execution, the ladies
"move on" and there is, therefore, no neces-
city for such an exhibition as the people of New
York witnessed yesterday morning.
We rejoice that step has been taken to-
wards rendering our streets more accessible to
virtuous women, and that the evening is not
far distant when gentleman may walk up
Broadway with his wife, without the fear of de-
cency being outraged by profigate women and
more profigate men but we would rejoice still
further, if the end were effected by less arbi-
trary means, and with just preliminary eau
ton from the police of the various districts to
the several offensive characters within their
jurisdiction.

WISE OF VIRGINIA IN ENGLAND.-Most of the
English journals received by the last arrival
publish, with applauding commentaries, por
tions of the speeches of Henry A. Wise deli
vered during his present electoneering tour in
Virginia and reported in the columns Of this
journal. The English newspapers seem to re-
lsh particularly his onslaught on the Know
Nothings and term his speeches "most able
and extraordinary" These speeches which we
took the trouble to report are evidently Great
ing great popularity for their author in that
quarter. Indeed 60 marked is this feeling
that we are satisfied that If Mr.. Wise we're to
lose his election in Old Virginia and retire in
disgust to Old England, he would be elected to
something very extraordinary the re.
Now, for all this popularity in Old England
Mr.. Wise is entirely indebted to US aud to the
labors Of our industrious and talented re-
porters. Yet lock at the ingratitude of poll.
ticians. For placing Mr.. Wise in this high
position in the eyes of the civilized world Of
the two continents he.threatened to hang the
HERALD reporter and the aristrocracy OF the
Old Dominion, comprising the fossil remains of
all its first families, seconded this Lynch ukase
and held themselves in readiness to adjust the
rope. IL is evident from this that Virginia
must have reverted 10 an unequivocal state Of
barbarian, when it's most eminent and elo.
quent leaders exhibit liberality as restricted
as that of Nicholas. or of Car ON small
scale.
