The CITY ISsPEcToR.-Thc superintendent of the
markets and streets having been added to this depart
ment by the new charter Mr.. Morton is preparing to
hold the rens of his future government from the ls of
May with vigorous hand. He is in favor of the plan
of cleaning the streets by contract and will give the
present contractors fair trial. though if they exhibit
any shortcomings it is likely he will bring to bear all
the power of sanitary considerations. After the ls Of
May the City Inspector intends to apply to the Com
Council for permission to double the present num-
Der OF his clerical force and also to have Mr. Eblng
official apartments appropriated to his Use. Among
other improvements, he will recommend the general
use of the garbage and ash box devised by him last
Summer and designed to be placed at proper intervals
along the sidewalks. 1t is his intention also to employ
all legitimate means for the exclusion from the streets
Of the bone and rag pickers, and gatberers of coal
cnders. The sulty season is near at hand, and Mr..
Morton will be kept very busy for some time to come,
if he discharges all his duties faithfully.

Greeley Sue1ng for Libel.

Yes, Horace Greeley, who has libelled
and slandered more persons than any othe:
man now living, has sued Gray, of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, for libel, laying
his damages at $4,000! One pretext for
this proceeding is the charge of the Plain
Dealer that the sanity Horace received a
large share of Mariposa stock as con-
sideration for aiding Fremont's election;
the other is an article copied from an Iowa
paper, stating that the sanity Horace
aforesaid received $1,000 for aiding a
company to dupe few victims in the
Des Moines River Improvement.
For the last ten years Greeley has been
courting every ism and faction from which
a dollar could be extracted, and now, hav-
ing exhausted these supplies, he sticks his
greedy fingers into disreputable specula
tions, and when he gets his knuckles rap
ped sues for damages.
Gray in his defence will take the depo-
sitions of "the two Fremonts," Bennett
of the Herald, Webb, of the Courier ana
Enquirer, Tom Ford, Banks and sundry
others Of their kin. Rich Developments

Mr.. EDITOR Il see, in late number
of your paper, my name mentioned in
connection with the culture of the Chinese
Sugar Cane. Permit me to give through
the same medium, the facts as far as I
have experimental in the raising of the
Sugar Cane above mentioned.
Last spring 1 received small package
of seed, sent me be by the Hon. G. j..
Albright, from the U. S. Patent Office,
and never having heard of it, I thought
it of little or no value; and not having a
place to plant it, was delayed until the
10th day of June. After dividing my
seed with three or four neighbors, I plant
ed 90 hills on the 10th of June, between
the rows of our common Indian corn,
planted for late roasting ears, and which
was plowed and tended as the corn on
each side of it. 1t SO happened that my
cane seed was planted on the poorest
ground in my corn patch; and then on
account of the great drouth, or want 1oi
rain, the result was that it did not come
to pertcc,ion-the seed did not ripen, ard
I hare to seek for seed elsewhere. When

WASHINGTON Ian

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.
The Board of Directors ofthe Amer
lean Colonization Society held their an
nual meeting yesterday. Ten members
in attendance. A nominal meeting of the
society will not take place till travel is re-
sumed. The whole amount of receipts
during the year were eighty-one thousand
three hundred and eighty eight dollars
and forty-one cents.-The expenditures
were seventy-one thousand three hundred
and ninety-four dollars and seventy y-nine
cents, The present Indebtedness of the
society is twenty-four thousand one hum
dred and twenty-slx dollars and seventy
four cents. The society earnestly calls
the attention of the government to increas-
ing the value of trade of the African coast,
and hopes some act will soon be pas
sed by Congress to foster, nourish and
protect it. The value of the trade with
the U. S from that point in 1854 was
three millions one hundred and forty y-six
thousand FIVE hundred and twenty-five
dollars, while that of Great Britain was
about eight times that amount, In conse-
quence Of the latter power having for
years encouraged and protected its COM
merce there. 1t is stated that several
other European nations have awakened
to the value of the trade upon the wes-
tern coast of Africa and are taking steps
to increase it.
