FEMALE PEDEsTRIANs.-It seems, from re-
cent demonstrations in this city, that some OF the
strong-Ininded women have become strong
limbed as well, and that two Yankee females
have chosen the metropolis as the scene Of their
feats with their feet. The cheerful announce
ments Of these Amazons communicate to the
public the interesting fact that they will walk
upon "plank continuously until one or the
other stops falls of, or goes to sleep" The
nominal stake for which they contend is the
sum of one hundred dollars, and from all ac-
counts they are attired in q manner at once vul-
gar and indecent. TO debase the particular
women engaged in this occupation still further
they are given slang names, such as are applied
to pugilists by their admirers The fact that
these contestants came from part Of the coun-
try which claims superior intelligence, more
refined, religious and cultivated population is
one to which we would call the especial attention
Of the New England pulpit, which has long ago
consigned New York to the fate Of Sodom and
to the New England journalists, who may find
in it subject for homily upon the atrocious
and internally vicious character Of metropolis
which could so soon degrade woman to walking
a plank-a species of exercise but very little
more elevated than walking the street. We do
hope that they will omit all alusion to the fact
that the women were brought here especially to
give their pedal exhibition as the fact might
damage the logic of the laundering articles
which the provincial press is fond Of hurting
upon our heads. They must also keep out of
sight the fact that all such shows whether of
strong limbcd women, or of muscular men, or Of
female equestrianism, receive no coun!enance
from the respectable portion of the New York
public or the New York press; that we, in
common with others, do not hesitate to condemn,
as the most contemplate sophistry, the argument
that such exhibitions tend to any good compared
with the evil which they work. that where they
may develope one set Of muscles, they ruin an
hundred Gets Of characters; and that all the trash
that is urged in favor Of these exhibitions is too
msy for the trouble of humiliation; that they are
usually gotten up by fellows who are too lazy to
work and who are mean enough to degrade women
and pick the pockets Of the public at the same
time. 1t is unpleasant to say these things, but
much more unpleasant to see them. They should
be crushed out by the scorn and contempt of an
intelligent community.

Mormon rebellion. the Central American Glbus-
ters, and the question Of the right Of search-so
far NJ admissible of practical solutions an
administration which will prove too strong for
this Douglas conspiracy, though the conspiracy
may prove too strong for the democratic party.
In this view, while we anticipate an over
whelming defeat of the democracy of New York
in our November election, demoralized and
weakened as they are by the treacherous Douglas
managers Of Tammany Hall, we have no fear
concerning the stability and the continued sue
cerses Of Mr.. Buchanan's administration.

MUNICIPAL CoRRrITIoS.-The Indictment Of
half dozen Corporation officials by the Grand
Jury, on Saturday. has caused quite flutter in
the dovecots about the City Hall. There are 50
many guilty consciences in that delcctable To-
caliy that hardly any one felt secure when the
intelligence was bruited around The indicted
parties. we learn, will be brought to-day before
the Recorder and all doubt as TO who they are
will bc set at rest, 80 that the unndcted can
breathe freely for a while. We have heard some
names mentioned which have become familiar a.
household words to the public ear in connection
with sundry alleged frauds in the Street Depart
ment. An cx-Strect Commissioner, who enjoyed
o brief and stormy reign. a late Deputy Street
Commissioner, and two City Surveyors. we be-
lieve sre among the number to bc arraigncd 10
answer charges Of fraud committed in the dis
charge Of their public duties
But the prosecuting officer should not stop
with this batch There i no doubt that indict.
ments could be readily found against a whole
army Of fellows in all the public Offices of the
city government, a. well as against many mem
btrs Of both Boards Of the Common Council. The

horde of attendant contractors surveyors, inspec-
tors. and 80 forth, has figured conspcuousy
under is former heads 10 most Of the frauds
which have recently come TO light, and many Of
the above classes are no doubt amenable to the
law. We learn, however, that under it, present
management there has been change effected in
the system Of the Street Department and that
not only have no frauds occurred in any Of it,
transactions since the present Commissioner and
bic assistants, Captains Smith and Lowell, have
taken II in hand, but The indictments recently
found have been mainly based upon information
supplied by them. II is but just TO the very few
honest officials we can boast of that they should
not be included in the catalogue of criminals
who deserve, IL they do not receive, the special
attention Of the Grand Jury.
Tie only way to stop The tide of corruption Is
to ndici about half the members Of the Corpo-
ration ,'and supply their places at the December
election by honest. inconuptible men; and we
hope 70 see both ofthcsc things accomplished.
