A PC8IlC EglL.--Wc have often, hereto
fore. referred to the manner III which boys
in Elkton arc permitted to run loose at night
and disturb the town, as 4 sad training their
parents were giving them aiding on, as it
does, TO q manhood of rowdy;s!n, d1ulken-
ness and vil!ary, 10 be a, surely followed if
life remains 20 them by an age of want, dis
iiess and disgrace. This view Of the case
appears to make little impression boys still
y,ll Ike savagcs along the raycmcnts and
are out committing their drprcda,ionS beyond
all reasonable hours, so that their conduct
has be-. nc public cyil-a nuisance Of the
most offensive character ii becomes the
Town Authorities. as si!G.l, to take notice Of
;hcm. During the present week they have
been particularly troublesome, having crowd
cd around the places Of business Of some Of
our citizens, driving away customers injury
their goods and their business and annoying
their families. We are requested to call pub
lie attention to this public evil, and urge at
tention to it by the Town Commissioners and
the BailiT as one of the most ilnpo taut duties
of t'Ncr officers. Il is important to abate tic
present nuisancc--and more important that
the law should do something to protect such
boys as are so shamcfullY and cr;minally
neglected by their ps,cnts.

CoDtricArIoN OF LAws.-The subject Of
codifying the laws of the State has lately
been agitatod in the New York Legislature,
and we observe that the leading papers arc
in favor oft. The Tribune. speaking of the
provisions of the bill before the Legislature
says:--
The Commissioners arc to be appointed
for five years and do the work without com
pensation. 1t will therefore be labor OF
love and devotion. So it should be. Giea
competent 10 his duty cannot be hVed for It's
performance, nor should such an Office he
made an object for the pursuit of mere politi-
cal partizans, and seekers after power and
spoils."
Here different view seems to have been
taken Of the subject. The codirying seems
to have been sought after and given out rath-
er as sort Of money-making contract than
rs work Of ''love and devotion," and the
enormous sum of ten Thousand dollars has
been named as tho compensation TO each of
the codlliers. If ''men competent to the duty
ca mot be hired" it would seem that con-
siderable pay is expected by the sort of men
who are hired, and the inference would arise
that the remuneration rather than the labor is
the subject of the Glove and devotion" in this
| latitude.
Nearly three years have elapsed since the
| appointment of codifiers was made in this
state, and the only word we have heard from
tot c1o for
$4,000 to pay expenses, for which that body
passed Resolution. When will the code be
ready? When will this labor of love and
devotion Ito something) be through with
here? These are the questions.
tJThe following note to the letter signed
''Prosress' in the last Wing was crowded
out by want of room. We called our cores.
pondent "Fillibustcr," on the strength Of
the letter, and his addcnda seems to preserve
for him that title -
Addcnda. A few tracts printed in Spanish
and circulated in Cuba, setting forth the ad.
yantagcs which would accrue to her people
by Annexation. would soon arouse them to
shake off their shacklcs. or at least enable
them to hold on until assistance could be had
from friendly quarter. Just let some one
Or ten men do as Sam Houston did, meet
someuhere form Constitution, declare thcil
Independence and hold on two weeks, and all
will I've over with Spain and her allies the
English, who but few years since hired the
Indians from the lakes to Florida to scalp
our people; the same English who lald waste
our farms, burnt our Capitol, mutilated our
monuments. ravished our woman, ('booty
and beauty" being their battle cry at New
Orlcans); and what is considered by somt
as much worse, also stole our negroes, anc
