Ra.cali,r Of Rev York ot,s,.l,


The New York Times Of Monday last
thus speaks of the late astounding deycl-'
opements of corruption and rascalify among
the municipal officers of that city: ,.Iftbe
people of this city are no. h h-rror,struck
this morning, by finding nearly all Of the
officers to whom the management Of tho
public affairs has been entrusted have been
indicted by the Grand Jury for corrupt
conduct, they have to thank his Honor
Recorder Smith for it, We have beenre
peatedly told and the public have. heard
the story so often as to have become in
some measure accustomed to it, that the
greater part of our city officials, the men
to whom the great interests of this mighty
metropolis have been confded, are a set Of
unconscionable knaves, who continually
sacrifice the public welfare to promote
their private speculations, and who rob
the people right and left without seruplo
or mercy. The good, easy public have
evidently come to regard themselves as
born to be fleeced, and whether they have
believed the stories or not of the scoun-
drelis'n Of their public servants, they
have not seemed to take their gricyan.
ces much to heart. #'
But the eliminating point Of corpora
tion rascalities apl ears, at last, to have
been reached, and the prospect of trc-
meadous explosion, which will blow
nest of rapacious knaves ky.high, is i'm.
minent. The Grand jury had already
presented six members of the Common
Council, City Judge, and few less i'm
portant officials; but on Saturday after.
noon they closedup their business by bring
iLg in indictments against nearly the en-
tire lot Of heads of departments, contrac-
tors, and their subordinatas. 7i'ar,f

Eds. Of the Hasck- Eye l. Te!egroph:

Eds. or the HACK Eye q le!egrdph:
An article with the above heading appear
ed in your columns this morning, which con-
tains some very important suggestions
Burlington contains population of about
eleven thousand inhabitants, and yet there is
no such thing as public Reading Room
among its institutions. Other places of
much less size have theirs, Mercantile Lii
brary Associations, Young Mems Lecturing
Associations, Young Mems Christian Assoc,a-
tions &C., before whom are delivered season
courses of lectures by men of the first talent
in the land; and connected with which are
Libraries and full supplies and assortments
of Periodicals, open to all for the most tri-
ae of fee. 1t betokens an apathy deeply
disgraoeful to the citizens of Burlington,
that all such means of enlightenment and
intelligence should be neglected. Why will
not those whose views are apace with the
progress Of the age, make . movement to-
ward securing such privileges toour city p
Cannot Burlington have Young Mems Lii
brary Association, and that at once, that
among the long winter evenings coming on
something, worth while may be furnished for
the employment Of that class of community
who would otherwise spend their leisure
hours in useless amusements or idleness, and
by which all might be beni6tted? If the
citizens will not take hold of the matter, we
hope some enterprising individual will, and
make money out Of it. 1t would pay man
well to fit up room With . circulating Lii
brary and a good supply of Periodicals, both
domestic and foreign, charging moderate
fec, open them to the public. We hope the
enterprise, in some way, will be carried out.
