Of election, We must rely upon our own right arms
our own receivers ard our own jimmies, just as we
would guard against bears in the polar and against
tigers in the tropical regions. To be sure, vleor-
ous well-organized aud honest police force would do
wonders, but such force is exactly what we cinnot
haze and tie very blessing which the fate', While
granting many bOons, have seen f. to deny rs.
We must rely, for the present, mainly upon Per'ona
prudence and precaution.
There Is still another suggestion which we do not
feel At liberty TO omit San Francisco has already
exhibited to va the alarming spectacle Of COM
muniiy rendered utterly desperate BY ourages upon
person ard property, which the authorities were
either too mpOtent or too corrupt to prevent; OF
community eOaded into soft Of regulated revolu-
tcD, and in defiance of law, taking the summary
administration Of justice into its own hands. We
need not say how questionable Yves such course,
nor how dubious the remedy to which plundered
End hara,sed people were driven; but we must de-
clare that when law ceases protect and to punish,
il loses It's only title TO reverence. 1t is not imposs
bic that tie time may come when the people Of
New-Yorb, growing aittere at being garroted,
NAV try what virtue there is in Vigilance Commit
tees and the application Of hempen cravat to the
bull.necks of short boys, shoulder. h'tters and
burglars. The cowardy knaves who have under
taken TO render our streets unsafer than the mount
ain.roads Of Spain, are known, and may, when the
shrft is short and the lamp post in most convenient
proximity have occasion to rue the enterprise in
which they are engaged. We warn them, and We
warn the authoritie. as well, that exasperated men
are not in the habit of phiosOphizing very calmly.
There ia point at which even moderate people
Will feel that patience has ceased to be virtue.

Congress has mace i salaiied Office of $500 year.
tbeee faithful fellows have nearly a. been turned
out. ard rumsellers, lawyers, storekeePe1s' and
o,bers living ca the mai1-men who know nothing
about managing boat in the sulf-have been put
in their places.
II some respects the furniture OF these stations
has been liberal enough but there has been cuiPa'
bic want Of care in keeping the appliances IN WORK
ing order In the case Of the New Era, the failure
Of a little Iusted ring, used to connect the balls
from the mortsrs with the Line, cost the lives Of
hundreds of persons. At the recent wreck of the
Tssso the same wire ripg failed thirteen times out
offfteen; and that the passengers Of the Ne~-fork
Yere not strtwn stiff and stark along the beach,
was but the result of fortunate circumstances, for
the station opposite TO which she stranded had been
stripped bare Of everything but the stove and Life
boat, aud the new cables, mortars, and SO forth,
we're yet on the way from New-York.
1t is plain, then, that much is ye. needed to rem
der the process of gazing life and property on the
beach more efiicacious. In the first place, all the
useless politicians should be turned out of Off ,e as
station masters, and competent sailors and surfmen
ppt i their places, with sole charge of the houses
and heir contents and strict responsibility for their
proper care and disposal. A small, strong steamer
should be provided, to make her headquarters in
Barnegat Inlet, aud another to lie inside of Sandy
Hook, and run outside aad along the outer bar to,
stranded vessels, when surf-boats cannot live and
the wreck is beyond the reach the mortar. Can
non should be placed in the stations to eau the
people from the main when there is wreck. At
present they have to depend upon the chance of
discover DC it when fog or rain or snow does not
obscure the atmosphere.
Let Congress appropriate the money to furnish
these things; and then in order to avoid all
maleasSnce or political fayOritism, hand the expeu-
dture Of it over to the New-York Life Saving Be
neyoent Association. Then the work will be well
done, and It's benefcent objects will be honestly
and scrupulousy attained.

The terrible storm which began here Oh Sunday
afternoon continued with unexempled violence unit!
last ni9&. 1t also extended for great distance in
every direction, reaching from the seaboard to the
lskes and from the Potomac to Canada. The cold
Of Sunday we think has not been equaled in this
region at least within the present century. All
along the northern frontier the mercury went down
ten, twenty and thirty degrees below Zero and at
WatsItown, in this State, the quicksilver froze up
at thirty seven below, while spirit thermometer
marked forty degrees below zero, or sereaty-tteo
degtees below the freezing point. The old
eat inhabitant" ia beaten at last. He can
not recall the equal of the cold Sunday of
1857. la and around this city the snow began
to fol on Sunday afternoon and continued with
little interuission until Monday evening. The depth
cSnlos be ascertained because of the drifting, but
wcu.d probably be at least foot. No railroad
trains arrived or departed yesterday, consequently
no mails we're received. HarbOr navigation is diff
fcult and dangerous while the Sound is completely
shut up. The ferries work slow and rregulary, in
consequence Of floating ice. We hear of some
wrecks and loss of life the Jersey COST, but h4v-
ing 40 reliable communication, are unable TO give
particulars. 1t is more than probable that We shall
have terrible accounts in day or two. As we
wIiie, at IL o'clock Monday night the sky is clear
tie WIND fresh but not very heavy, AMI the temper
atuio reasonably up.
