they are relieved of their responsibilities by these
partial showers. Far from it, In fact, they
should be more active than ever, for the
streets are now in good state to be thoroughly
swept and cleansed, and the operation will not
fill the air with dust and particles injurious to the
lungs. We say then, turn out your armies of
sweepers, employ the able-bcdied laborers, who
are now supported by the munifcence of the
city, let a small portion of our millions Of
revenue be employed to secure the health and
safety of the taxpayers. If this is .perversely
refused then we must take care Of ourselves and
organize without delay those Committees of
Vigilance which the crisis and the danger de-
mand. No half way measures, no long apologies,
no wordy excuses will answer Let us have
more action and fewer words.

MONEY FOR THE ELEcTIoN.-Mr. Forney's
paper, the Pennsylvania, has exclusive infor-
nation that the British government has sent
100000 to this country to aid in Mr.. Fremonts
election. We are very glad to hear it, and
we hope that the money will be handed over to
the needy politicians of the republican school.
The Pennsylvania does not say how the money
came; whether Mr.. Dallas sent his check for the
amount, or Lord Dalmerston sent his man Friday
with the sovereigLs in bag to the Office of the
Fremont Committee. Nor does it explain how it
is to be distributed or on what conditions; but,
we hope Mr.. Forney viii get his share, for he,
more than any other man in this country, is
helping John c. Fremont this day.
To be serious, every one but the veriest asses
knows that the British government would not
give sixpence to aid any of the candidates for the
Presidency. We might just as well be expected
to vote money to help this or that candidate for
an electoral district in England. That money
may come from Europe to be used in our election,
we think highly probable; but it will come from
the Rothschilds, not the British government, and
it will be used for Buchanan, not Fremont -Four
years ago, when Mr.. Buchanan was a candidate
for the nomination, Mr. Belmont the Rothschilds'
agent, offered to contribute quite large sum to
the expenses of the election if Buchanan was no
minated. Failing in this, Mr.. Belmont did
advance large sum in aid Of Pierce, though
less sum than he had spoken Of before; and in
return therefor he obtained the mission to the
Hague, which has enabled him and his princi-
pals to realize handsome fortune. 1t is under
stood that in the event Of Buchanan's success,
Belmont goes to Paris: this is prize worth pay
ing for, and we think it likely that the Roths-
childs will bleed freely to effect it,
For the rest, so far as money is concerned. FIRE.
mont seems the worst off of all the candidates.
Buchanan has the Rothschilds to back him.
Fillmore has Corcoran of Washington, through
whose aid, by the way, he obtained the nomina-
ton at Philadelphia; but whom has Fremont:
No one, seemingly. He is poor-without money
to buy his election. The supporters Of Mr.. Blu
chanan charge this upon him as crime, and sheer
at him for his poverty. They are responsible for
the good taste and tho deicacy of these illusions;
but it would have been more seemly, one would
think, for the democrats to have held their peace
on this subject, at all events until Ir. Pierce had
paid back the Sl7 900 he borrowed before cleo
ton, and the $4,000 he has had since from

ing that parsonage he was only frightened himself,
and made off in double quick time when Duff
levele at his ambrosial locks pistol harmless in
lead or powder. The Chevalier thinks that
Brooks, in this affair with Burlingame, has shown
the white feather, but he has not the courage to
say SO openly. One of the most curious opinions
OF this mighty man of duels and duelling laws is
the recorded belief and positive conviction of his
own mind that the affair of Sumner, and all other
similar affairs in which order and decency are
violated in Washington, are attributable solely to
the existence of the institution of slavery at the
South. Pray, was it slavery at the South which
was the cause of like barbarity and violence
exhibited in Wall street fifteen or twenty ye lrs
ago. by the Chevalier, in his attempt to put down
the independent presss Was it slavery at the
South which loaded his bludgeon or sharpened his
bowie knife? He did not quite succeed at that time,
however, either in his attempt at violence or int-
midation, nor in frightening those who value the
freedom of the press or their own rights, and who
still maintain them with unfaltering fearlessness
and unrepressed vigor. Any Chevalier who at
tributes solely to slavery in the South the scenes
occurring at Washington deserves only to he known
hereafter as the Chevalier Jackass. The dis
graceful scenes at the Capitol with bludgeons,
pistols and bowie knives, brandished all the way
from the chambers Of Congress to the hotels, and
from the hotels to the gambling houses, are ocea-
stoned by and originate with the corrupt scoun-
drels who seek to govern public opinion and style
themselves the democratic party.
