SMALL sTRATRGY.

In consequence of the equal political division Of
the Board of Supervisors, twelve Wings and twelve
Democrats, there was at its organization consider
able interest in the choice of a President. The
Mayor Of the city hes usually been elected Presi-
dent of the Supervisors; but there was an indi-
cation that Mr.. Wood would not be called TO that
position, he, with his political brother, the Re-
cOrder refused TO meet with the other members,
under the belief-whicb, we believe, is sanctioned
by legal opinion as well as custom-that nothing
could be done without the presence of one or the
other of them. However on the oth Of Janusry
the Board met, and chose Alderman Ely, Wing, as
its President. The Mayor refused TO recognize
this election as legal, and carefully absented him
self 1t seems now that Alderman MOser, also a
Wig, is very sick, and cannot possibly attend. So
last night Mayor Wood sends request to the Al
dermen, praying that the Board of Super
visOrs might at once organize for the dis
patch of public business at the same
time stating that he would not stand in the way of
the organization and withdrawing his name as
candidate for President The effect of this would
be-in the absence of Aid. Moser-to elect the
The cat was easily discovered through the large
quantity Of meal thrown over her; and, as neither
Mayor nor Recorder have vote in the Board of
Aldermen, the communication was referred to
Alderman Ely, the President of the Supervisors.
Upon what foundation the opinions rest which
fetter the action Of the Supervisors in the absence
Of the Mayor and Recorder, We do not know.
The statute expressly states that majority of
Board of Supervisors shall be quorum to transact
business, and that majority of those present is
legal vote. The Supervisors have the exclusive
control of the business of taxation, and the Presi
dent the appointment of the Committee on Taxes
hence the anxiety of the Mayor to get the balance
of power on his side. His course, however, in
refusing TO attend meetings-especisly while be-
leyiDg that the business could not go on without
hn-is not calculated 10 win respect for this late
plea of public urgency; while the attempt to
secure power by taking advantage OF the illness of
a member is still less TO be admired.

JEREMY DIDDLERs

The profigate conduct Of the members Of our
New-York Assembly in refusing TO complete the
work for which they had already been paid, and in
adourning precisely at the end of the hundred
days, leaving the Appropriation bill and other mpor
tant measures undisposed Of receives il so richly
merits, the unanimous condemnation of the public
and the press. We do not hear single voice
raised anywhere in defense or even in apology for
for this barefaced and pitiful attempt TO trample
the Constitution of the State under foot and that
too, for the patry object Of putting three dollars
day of the States money for anndefnie period into
the pockets of set of scheming politicians, whose
acts and omissions during the preceding hundred
DAYS had shown them as careless of the public in
terests as their final treacherous desertion of their
posts proved them TO be regardless OF the COnst-
tuition and laws of the State.
The only excuse that We can think of which can
possibly be urged on behalf Of these defeated
legislative Jeremy bidders is poverty, destitution
starvation. Necessity. it is said, knows no law;
and in that respect at least, necessity and the ma
iority of our Assembly stood on common ground.
Now rather than that such great patriots should
starye, or be under the necessity of going to the
poor-house we might be willing TO consent to their
receiving three dollars day Of the public money;
but we should prefer that it might be paid to them
without d violation of the Constitution, and we
should most decidedly demand that it should be
paid TO them not for disgracing themselves aud the
State at Albany, but for holding their tongues and
keeping quiet at home, or, if the condition could
be substituted of their emigration to Nicaragua
so much the better In that case, We would go
little further, and consent to pay our fair share
toward the cost of their transportation.
We hope that the electors in the country die
tricts will be satisfied FROM the result Of this ex-

criticisms Oh Mr.. Olmsteads recent book Of trsv-

company of gentleman, whether he happens to
be an advocate of Slavery or hostile to it, and not
less so of sOutherner who, instead of resOrting to
assault and battery, or threats to dissolve the
Union, is willing to place the defense of his ia

A WORD TO SETTLERS IN KANSAS.

We apprehend that one of the greatest difficulties
that settlers will meet with in Kansas will be the
of buildings suitable for shelter for themselves and
domestic animals. Among nearly all of the emf
grants from the Eastern States there will be found
a very great want Of knowledge how to build cheap
houses for new settlers Not that there is any lack
of wOrkmen who are cunning artisans, but there
must be few who are skilled in the art OF putting
up balloon frame" or making comfortable
house out of logs poles and split stuff, hundred
miles beyond the last saw-mill. To such, and in
fact to all new settlers in an uncutiyated country,
we can probably offer some useful hints
First, with regard TO selecting locality for build
ing. As general rule, building site on the prai-
RE, or among scattering trees, will be found the
most healthy On account Of health, always avoid
sheltered hooks, where the woods are dense; and
above all keep away from the banks OF all water
courses. Never build in hollow, because it is
near spring; and be careful not 10 choose the
south side of grove, unless you know there is no
swampy land anywhere near on the south since
the missma will be blown up by south wind, aud
will bank up against the grove, giving you wet
blanket every morning at season Of the year when
you are most likely TO contract the universal NAL
ady of all new countries--the fever and ague.
Next, as 10 water. The best water is not that
that looks the most pure, or is the most cool and
palatable, as is the case with nearly all the lime
stone springs, streams and wells OF the Western
country. The sweetest healthiest, safest water
for all new settlers comes from the clouds; there
ha "a ia mai
rails for a cstern, TO be put in use the moment you
get roof Wherever the ground is compact and
hard, as it is in all clay lands, the way TO make
cistern is to excavate hole and plaster the cement
immediately upon the earth. Don't use over one
bushel of cement TO four of sand, which should be
coarse and sharp. cistern is cheaper and better
than a hard-water well. The water is more
wholesome, and decidedly more pleasant on wash
ing days.
We now come TO the loe-cabin. There is no
more comfortable house for family than log
