The emipently virtuOus aud most noble Roman
at the head Of the public affairs of this city Often
takes occasion to assure u.s. that whereas he 10 the
mtst public spirited and kind-bearted Mayor that
ever was or ever will be, tue CorpOrase City
over which be presides is the best governed and
quietest city in the world. From seeming evil he
is still educipg good In grog shops he discovers,

Of Democracy 10 rObberies by the highways and
in the "sweet homes" of New. York, he sees only
the evidences of an advanced civilization. The

est. The civic ship is constantly aud steadily
tending, in spite Of storms feloniOusly raised BY
"Blsck Republican" syrens, toward haven of
heavenly rest in which from the shoulders Of Saort
Boys shall sproat seraphic festbers-in which tho
Pewter Mug shall expand into a religious temple,
worthy Of the sx of Hiram and the genius of Solo
NORM which Dead Rsbbits shall be metsmor-
phOsed into cbeiubims, melOdious moutted--iu
which revolvers shall be changed to flutes, and
budeeons to sackbuts, and brass knuckies
TO Bsjou eloves-in which wicked forgors
sbs cesse from troubling, sud weary forgees
shall be ct rest-in which tue Statutes Of
Heaven shall tske the place Of the Statutes
of Limitation-apd in which Fernando Wood, 10
sanity robes Of white, shall inaugqrste new pot

"brital of tie earth and sky," while Abraham
Russell will rend bis Judicial ermiue in sligo that it
will 70 longer be necessary to smile upon blllies,
because hereafter there will be 10 bules to suo
upon. Bill Sykes will lay down the jimmy and
the false keys and take up the pan pipes and the
csstartts; Alderman Wilson will devote the even
ing of his days to the distribution of free railway
tickets to needy emigrants Mr.. MOrrissey will
become private Professor of Cali,thenics in tbs
most select seminaries for young ladies'; Nc. Low
Der will do pensnoe on the steps of the City Hall,
with candle in one hand ard blank check in the
Others while at the public polls (f in those days of
supreme felicity voting be necessary Patrick and
Peter and other Irish guardians Of the peace shall eek
out sgtd and inftm voters of different political per.
suasions ard tenderly conduct them to the ballot
boxes. No more the beggar seated upon the curb
stone sba extend the petitonary hand; for the
beegsrs of those days shall be happier (by great
desl) than the milonaires Of these. Our ctr sets
shall be sweeter than thymy and psrfamsd country
lanes, and shall know the noisome mud, the pesti.
lence breeding corruption, the fostering, child kill
ing comfort abstipg smells no longer. Contractors
for clearing will assume private shovels and per.
sonal toes, lest tho work be not accomplished in

blandly smile upon the delays oc ,asioned by such

snete Fernando viii be continually occupied.
The difference between the millennial comforts
which We have so family described and that condi
iicn of affairs which at present exists in New. York,
is not to be attributed 10 Mayor Wood, who is in
profase sweat Of npatierce to hurry up the cakes
of felicity and the ale Of delight only he il sadly
hindertd, veIed and impsded in the good work BY
q parcel Of fellows calling themselves Republicans,
who, albeit they are decent and quiet enough in
their outward demeanor, yet take sort of per7erse
satisfaction in thwartirs the Mayor in hi, virtuous
and peaceabe efforts. And in this place should be
marked the notable dissimilarty Of character be-
tween the Mayor and his wMmest friends. In
deed, thus far 30 great is the obfuscation of their
honest mirds-cIeated unqusstiOnabIy BY the prac-
tees If those same losel Republicans they do
not seem t, have the fairtest conception, much less
the smallest desire for the publication TO which he
would submit them. He, as is very well known,
is all for virtue, peace, love, goodwill aud
hor esty, while these who sustain him are al for
Whatsoever things arc the opposite of thess This is,
perhaps, the moss a'tonisbins political phenomenon
