MAYOR TrEsASS's REFoRxs.-Lke q giant
refreshed with new wine or lager bier, Mayor
Tiemsnn is pushing his work of reform among
the gambling dcns, the dance houses, the lottery
policy shops, the gift enterprise dodgers aud
the like; but strangely enough, tn more he re-
forms them the worse they become. Never
before In this city, except about election times,
have we had such spectacle ofrufdanly atroci
ties of ell sorts as those which we are now called
upon daily to record. And all this catalogue
Of daily assassinations, burgiaries, robberies,
gambling, entertainments and what rot, In nc
midst of the most remarkable religious revival
In the history Of this country. How strange!
1t would thus appear, while the Mayor and his
police and oil the churches are actively ut work
furnishing or converting our numerous gangs
Of sinners Of all degrees from the alderman to
the pugilist, that Satan and his imps are also
taking "a long pull, strong pull and pull
together" and seriously threaten TO gain full
possession of the city. We hope FOR the best,
but we fear the worst, and that paint and putty
cannot save US

q sort of go-between from Tammany Hall to
Washington, may have picked up some stray
items concerning these Utah contracts; and If
co. it is quite likely that he has somewhat mag
nifcd the profits upon the horses, cora and
transportation.
The most singular fact in this connection,
however, is that the Chevalier Webb would
have US believe that these fat contracts, al
though divided and sub-divded so as 10 ia
clude all who could aid directly or indirectly"
in passing Leccmpton, have actually operated
to defeat Lecomptcn. This is very curious
logic; for, ordinarily, when man is bought ne
renders the service for which he mas received
his price All, yes; but things are not
now as they used to be. At the last
session, for example, the Chevalier Webb
went to Washington, hired magnificent
house, and set up style Of living
equa, to fifteen thousand year including claret
and canvass backs, oysters and champagne, all
settled for, we understand, by the steamboat
lobby drummers and patent obbers. And, then,
the Chevslier had such aa exalted opinion Of
Mr.. Buchanan that even Captain Ryndors might
have felt little jealous But now, alas, the
unlucky Chevalier, with his Tarrytown residence
and lots up for SALE is on short rations at Wash
ington, "rouRhing L. at public hotel, at
daggers' points with the President, and with oil
these prodigiously fat Utah contracts slipping
