volved the people of New York in their existing
pressure of public debt and high taxes But at
Albany the spoils game is nearly played out, the
canal plumber having been mostly disposed of,
with the remnant behind tied up under 80 many
Instructions ss to render it unavailable for pre-
sent exigencies. And 50, honest Thurlow Weed
and his Albany clique, reinforced with accessions
of eharp-set spoilsmen from various parts Of the
country, under the auspices of spoils sdministra-
ton, have established their headquarters at Wash
ington, and have enlarged their operations from lii
tie jobs Of two, three, FIVE nine millions, to such
splendid enterprises as the Pacific Railroad con-
spiracy, the Woodwork patent monopoly, and
various other patent jobs, end railroad land jobs
and spoilations, and indemnities, and Galphin and
Gardner claims, comprehending the grand sum
total OF not less than two hundred and fifty mil
lions Of dollars.
We confess that it is quite natural't that a flock
Of such harpies as these, disturbed at their feast
ing, should set up terrible chorus Of wrath and
fury; but with the efficient cooperation of even
few honest, unbought and viglant men in
the two Houses of Congress We feel entirely
competent to disperse this whole brood of spoils
vultures from the Capitol 1t present they seem
TO have dropped this Pacific Railroad job and
this Woodwork patent job; but it may be that
they are only waiting some golden opportunity,

of public justice But let these spoilsmen be kept
at bay to the end Of poor Pierce's unscrupulously
corrupt kitchen dynasty, and We think we can

The FORTHCOMING MESSAGE OF THE Maya
We understand that the Mayors annual message,
which will be sent in to-day, will contai the
views Of that magistrate with regard to thero-
posed changes in the city government Mr.
Woods views coincide precisely with those yheh
have been reiterated for some time back the
columns Of the HERALD He proposes tht the
city government shall be organized on the ylan
of that Of the coniederacy; that the Mayor snail
occupy the same position relatively as the PEST
dent, and that the heads of departments nall
constitute bis Cabinet No other change will
confer upon the city the blessings of free govern
ment As for the decentralization propoe< by
the republican leaders, the Mayor will delolnce
it In the most strenuous manner. Should t be
carried into effect, and the government of tecity
transferred from New York to Albany, hewil
not retain Office single day. The Office Of sink
ing the ship he would rather leave to oheI,
hands.
The Mayor will speak out boldly in reference
to the course pursued by the Recorder at the last
election: the conduct of that official will b, de-
nounced in language of marked severity. We're
no other reason available to show the necessity of
new plan of united authority, this collision of
two such important officers as the Mayor AMI Re-
cOrder would supply the deficiency. How ,ould
the city possibly be well governed while itslead-
ing magistrates spend their time ard coEume
their energies in quarrelling and trying to twart
each other? The Lesson deserves attentiu at
Albany as well as here,

Worcester has become notorious for its gomen's
rights, niggcrs rights and inGdel jubilees and
festivals; but we OF the North never yet had
anything. even in Worcester, so bold aud glar-
ingly reasonable as this Had Fremont been
elected We should probably have had any quan.
tity Of Gre-caling disunion conventions through
out the South; and, perhaps, Captain Brooks
would have been fool enough, under the advice
OF Gov. Wise, to try the experiment OF robbing
the treasury; but we were certainly no, prepared
for any such disunion demonstrations In the
North in consequence Of Mr.. Buchsnans cleo
ton. We suspect that these Worcester disunonisIs
are but sorry plagiarists Of Wise, Toombs, Brooks
Slidell, Fillmore, Keitt, and other firceatcrs of
the South Carolina school; and that the Worces
ter pr0unodmiento signers may have derived
their idea OF disunion convention from the
disunon meeting Of Southern Governors at Ra-
leigh, n. G., in anticipation of Fremont's sue
cess. Al all events, the example before us will
show 10 our Southern dsunion alamandcrs that
there are other fools traitors, demsgogues and
fanatics besides Themselves who can play at their
own game.

During the past year the higheet daily circuls1
ton reached wa 70 $50 and the lowest 5000
the average circulation during the year being
something over GO 600. Our growth and increase,
therefore within the last twelve months, has been
equivalent to over twenty-five Per cent-showing
q degree OF movement and prosperity not ex-
ceeded, We believe, by any other journal in the
civilized world. Indeed, there is but one other
iournal-and that is the London Tnes-that can
exhibit so extensive a circulation, 80 wide a
movement and so prosperous business as that
Of the NEW York HERALD.
The very fact of our increase during the year
having been 80 great, has created good dea. of
mechanical difficulty in the delivery, at proper
hour. of the paper to its numerous readers ia
certain portions OF New York and the neighbor-
ing cities Some five years ago We expended
$780, 900 in introducing machinery for the print
ing of the HERALD; but the increase of our
circulation has been so enormous within tie
last two years that the old machinery is
now entirely inadequate to supply the demand.
Accordingly few months ago we entered into
contract with Messrs. Hoe Il Co., of this city, fer
c whole series of machines costing, probably, be-
tween $50 900 and $4,000, which will be CON-
pieted and ia operation about the beginning OF
March, or the period when the new administration
cones into power. These machines comprise two
large ten cylinder presses, each costing 100000,
with steam engines, boilers and other apparatus,
reaching the large sum we have already men
.ionef all of which will enable us to issue l00,-
600 sheets in the same space of time which we
now require 10 Issue 10000 or $4,000 sheets
Thus We go. Returning our sincere thanks 10
tbe people of this great metropolis for the pa
troGage and support they have given US for over
tweaty ycars-thep patronage and support Of New
Yook, being the basis Of our existence-we are
now enabled to promise them that after the first
OF March every New York reader of the HERALD
will be enabled to receive it at q much earlier
hour in the morning than they have ever got it
for the last e ght or ten years.

Civilization in Turkey.

The Introduction of the French and English
among the Turks during the Russian war, it
would seem: was to be productive of some
good in the way OF civilization in Turkey
Like the "Celestiar' Empire, that country has
been less Influenced by the civllizing tenden-
cies of the rest of the world, with the excep-
ton OF Japan, than any other race of people
who exist under any other organized form Of
Government. S ~9A sa
Agencies Of questionable character often
produce beneficial results to mankind. Chris
tianity was introduced into China by means OF
the "Opium WARP at the point Of the bayonet,
and the march toward improvement has since
been perceptible both in the social and moral
condtion OF the natives. The European rev.
olutions Of 1873, though for the most part pro-
ductive Of no real benefit to those engaged,
accomplished as they were by bloodshed and
carnage, have been the indirect means OF Civ
ing the people Of France greater religious toll
Grafton than before enjoyed; while in italy
there is certainly more freedom of opinion
than before. ~ &
We are glad to perceive that in Turkey gsod
isIgrowins out of evil. Religious toleration is
granted to all, il we are rightly informed, and
lit is said that the Sultan is about to abolish po-
ligamy, that relic of barbarism, by first setting
the example tohis subjects. 1t isstated on good
authority that he has .pensioned Off all his
wives save one, and has discontinued the ORR
