COLONEL FRENoNT's MovENENrs-Ws under
stand that some Of Colonel Fremont's friends are
anxious that he should take a trip to Bedford
Springs in order to see the Senators who have
voted for an inquiry into his accounts. and also
10 call upon his rival Mr. Buchanan Some other
friends Of the Colonel think he had best write a
long letter 10 the papers. giving fun account Of
his birth. marriage and religion, and explaining
the whole affair about his christening and Sunday
practice.
Now Il General Scott we're the candidate in
stead Of Colonel Fremont. there would be some
reason to apprehend that this advice would be
listened to. But We trust that Colonel Fremont.
who has hitherto displayed 50 much prudence
and tact in his conduct since the nomination. will
avoid all errors arising from vanity or other cog
nate causes and will thus avoid the rocks on
which % many other Presidential candidates have
been wrecked.

MORE TROUBLE IN New YoRx PoIIrrcs.-
Our friends the nigger-worshippsrs appear to be
IN great trouble about the Nomination OF can
didate for Governor at the coming Convention
We understand that Lieutenant Governor Ray
mond, the 'little villain" of the party, who is
not yet tall enough for the Office himself, is in
favor of General Wadsworth, Of Geneseo, as
the Fremont candidate. He makes terrible
opposition to his colleague and fellow-philoso-
pher Greeley, who, it seems is also put by his
riends in the West into the political pool.
There is always wheel within wheel in the
policy of the "little villain.n If be dominates
Wordsworth, and gives up the rich prize for him
self, it is because he wants to be United States
Senator in the room of Mr. Fish, whose term is
bout to expire. He counts, it seems, on the aid
f Thurlow Weed and the influence of the Cen
raj Railroad TO enable him to manage the Con-
yention, and with his little tricks to GUST philo-
sopher Greeley from every position of honor
and trust.
We have great mind to dip into this family
uarrel, and to ascertain whether we cannot
make both parties pay off their old scores.
From our position towards Colonsl Fremont, we
are now within arms length ofsa good many of
our friends among the niger worshippers; be-
fore the game is played out, they may rely upon
it they will have to pay their debts to US, with
every cent Of the interest that has been running
for the last twenty years. Thurlcw Weed espe-
cially may look out.

STREET CTEANING.--At the meeting of the
suggestion came up that the occupants Of lots
and buildings should be required to sweep
the streets in front Of their premises The
plan is well worthy Of serousy consideration.
In most Of the European cities the municipal au-
thorities take care only Of the publc places the
inhabitants being required to ksep the streets
swept before their own doors. Tbs was formerly
the practice in Albany, if Il is rrlt 20 still. We
see no good reason why we should not try the
experiment here. Anything wo'ld be better
than our present system, oF rather, no
system. We should at least save hundreds
obtain large reduction in onr taxes. At
present the expenditure is evidently not used up
in brooms or carriage, and every stratagem is re-
sorted to, to throw dust in the eyes Of the public
when they make any inquiries or stteg any COM
plants There can be no injustice aad but little
inconvenience in requiring the citizens to sweep
up the street dirt in front of their houses.
They clean the sidewalks even now, and a
a few more square feet of surface viii not occa-
sion much outlay of labor. There is good
reason why they should do as much as this. If
they create the filth, let them scrape il up. Those
who are clearly viii have but little to do. Those
who occasion the dirt should be corspelled to get
it ready for removal The immediate effects
would be general and regular cleaning Of the
streets--a constant employment Of laborers out
Of other work--a competition between the occu-
pants of blocks and streets to see who were most
vigilant and careful, and an immense reduction
in ,nr city osI,enditnre. rhr Corp brstion carts
would not have to drag after the lazy fellows
who now get up one pile of dirt per hour, for it
would be always ready to be carried away. We
see no other remedy than this to get rid of Mr..
Ebling. His neglect, his incapacity and his
prevarications are the towns talk and If he can
set legislation and public opinion any longer at
defiance, ii is time the citizens looked out for
themselves Let us try Alderman Fulmer's
,uggestion.

NEW CRY HALI---We understand that re-
port has been adopted, or will be, by the Common
Council, in favor ola plan for the new City Hall,
which. besides being perfect architectural abos-
ton. and a reflection on the taste of the city Is
to cost six millions Of dollars The parties
chiefly interested are believed TO be concerned in
aVennont quarry, and the marble is to come hun
dreds Of miles. when Westchester, close by, has a
much better and q more plentiful material.
Fifty thousand dollars bonus are talked Of a.
likely to fall into the pockets of the lobby If the
scheme can be carried through We really hope
there is virtue enough and taste enough in the
Board Of Aldermen and in the Mayor TO knock the
scheme in the head. Six millions Of dollars TO
be added to the city debt is no joke, particularly
as more elegant and convenient structures can be
erected for one-quarter Of the money. We have
done our duty. II the citizens choose TO be
Aeeced any further than they have BEEN let them
shut their eyes and 90 to sleep. They deserve to
b. tramped on, and they will be.
