Mayor Wood is just the man to seize aud i'm
prove in an inaugural address the opportunity of
dealing Recorder Smith what the boys call side
winder." A stranger to the city might have in
erred from the somewhat abstract nature of the dis
cussiOn into which the late message of his Worship,
or his whatever be the epithet-plunges,
ard the staeliness Of the periods through which it
moves, that the writer had determined, for the
nonce, to forget or forgive al personal quarrels.
The rhetorical art, which reserves the Recorder
the csp-sbeaf and rounding Of the argument, and
The BY -,be.by nsnLer in which he is introduced,
are Truly admirable
The VarSgrsphs on this matter are go shor. and
read 80 well by themselves that we venture 10 de-
rach them from the columns Of pubhc-spirted
speculation in which they occur:
Judcisl officers rarely qualified for executive
duties; sDd Il sc' clearly illustrated

An institution morslly bad rarely deudes the
world into the belief that it is practically good.
Wrong and injustice are not only theOretic Ally III
siderable, but they have hard way of rendering
nations, societies and individuals exceedingly un-
comfortable. In the indulg NICE Of petty vices We
may sometimes lapse into dreamy Quietude, and
thence into decide decomposition; but continuous
and absorbing mistake like that of Slavery gives us
no peace, and makes our mornings and our evenings
full Of disquietude and contention. The stakeholder
80 far from securing for himself aud for his family
tha. soft and assitGdnOus enjoyment, the desire for
which is his moving principle, is surrounded by I'M
g, en- peris and is the constant victim of nsmeless
spprehensious. His n ainers cannot meet for
prayer or for pleasure without alarming him; poor
kardworking labOIer cannot look su,ky, bu. his

We print in another column a letter from Mr..
James Brewster, prominent and highly respected
citizen of New Haven, Conn, detailing, in defer
ence to our request the results of thirty years
experience by New-HaveR in an enlightened effort
to supply labor suited TO their several capacities to
all but the invalid paupers of that city. This being
effected Mr. Brewster states that the Aims House
establishment Of New-Hayen-for several years
past city Of more than thirty thousand inhabitants
has more than supported its, so tina. the citizens
Of New.Haven have paid nothing for the support Of
public paupers except the interest on the first cost
of the establishment.
But this is not all. The benefits Of the new sys.
ten, az compared with the old, are as follows:
|. A great Improvement in the moral aud physical
condition of the paupers themselves.
H. Very many deferred from sinking or drifting
into pauperism by the knowledge that this would
Lot save them from the necessity Of working for a
living.
III. Psupersm selfsupportiDg.
We consider Mr. Brewster's letter Of more i'm
portance and utility than any Presidents Message
put forth within FIVE years and truss it will CON-
msnd attention accordingly.
The subject of Pauperism is more imperfecty
under,tood and injudciously treated than almost
any other. Instead Of regarding psuperism as a
cursble disease, and striving to mitigate if not
move its repulsye features, the general practice is
to pay premium for it by prOfering to the Pauper
life of careless ndoleIce and assured subsistence.
Once fallen to that level he has little motive and no
help toward recovery. Our city in spite Of her
Ten Governors, seems TO have made little progress
toward solution Of the problem" How shall
Pauperiim be dealt with !" nor do we know that
any erea. city has treated j. so successfully as
New.IIaven has. We commend her example 10
general imitation.

During the last session of Congress we called the
attention of that body to the necessity Of stringent
ensctments TO guard the freedom OF Congressional
discussion. We hope the present session is not to
pass by without some efficient action in that drec-
ton. A Congress which suffers the discredit and
disgIace Of eDumeraiing among is members such
prof ssors andappauders of sssassn-hke attacks on
the freedom of public discussion and the saDctity Of
human life as Bully Brooks, keitt Edmundson,
Rust, Herbert, and Toombs owes il to self.respec.
alone, to ssy nothing of duty to the country, to
make Efficient provision for protecting the free
dom Of public discussion against the bludgeons of
snealing bulies ard cossrdly asss'sins.
The law as it stands is papaeIy insufficient. The
expulsion of Bully Brooks and of Keit, so far from
being any Disgrace or punishment to them, became
by tier almost unanimous reelection aud the pu-
uerous other marks which they received
If sympathy and of appreciation, a real tn

New York Fifty Years Ago.

About 16O9-the city of New York contained
$4,000 inhabitants. 1t now contains exclusive of
its suburbs on Long Island Staten Island, in West
chester and New Jersey, 65OOOO. There was
then but one steamboat in the world, and that be-
longed TO New York and foated on the Hudson
Now steamboats, are as numerous almost as three
masted ships and their smoke tunnels are seen at
ery wharf Mobile then Spanish possession,
and the State of Alabama was rot The whole
tonnage of the United States may then have been
about 100000. The tonnage of the port of New
York alone now exceeds 100000. The largest
merchant ship then known to our commerce lid not
exceed and rarely equalled 500 tons. Now they go
up to $500.
The sea- going steamer, the railroad, the electric
telegraph were unheard Of The EXTREMIST northern
limit of the city was the open ditch in Canal street
the region beyond was country houses, tea gar
dens, orchards, and corn fields. No omnibus
had then Vexed our pavements, and few and
far between were the fire engines which ran then in
the middle of the street and not on the sidewalk
Then the tolng of the bell was the signal for every
goodciti TO turn out with his regulation leath-
ern buckets in hand, and falling into line, hand
them along from cisterus and pumps to the fire.
Pumps then at frequent corners, and often in the
middle of the street, supplied all the water used
and not little embarrassed the military tactics on
grand holidays and parade days, in mantnuve1ing
around and about them as TO preserve the line:
The Croten then renowned for it's striped bass
The hour then was early and habits simplc-high
Change at IL NJ, and dinner late, o'clock, and
a, work again in the counting house after dinner.
The old City hail. where now stands the Custom
House vas then in honor, and the great building of
the citv It ~as of modest size, and yet there
was yoom in i. for all the municipal legislation, all
the municipal Offices spd the courts oflaw. All1he
voting of the city was fone there, and then each
election lasted three days-N: 7. COur.
