the Common Council is an instructive docu-
ment. II is intended as a reply to Mr. Devlin's
statement, which was itself an answer to Mr..
Conover's first ypos Of the frauds in the Street
Commissioners Department. We trust that
these gentlemen will perscvere in their purpose
Of laying bare the whole system Of plumber in
that bureau-the more especially as the example
has already become contagious Comptroller
Flagg, influenced, no doubt, 10y the examples
thus set him, has come forward to make a clean
breast Of the frauds and defalcatons in his own
department. Who knows but that the party
implicated in his statement will. in his turn. be
induced TO disclose other facts Of an equally
compromising character in reference 30 some
Of his late associatesl After that we shall in
oil probability, have host of minor delin-
quents in the other bureaus, crying peccaUi, and

Let no one, however, make the mistake of
regarding il as an evidence that human nature
h inpio'ihEs vi that inc men WHO HOW 0Ol0
Office under the city government are one whit
better or purer than their predecessors 1t is
to be looked upon rather as an indication of
the final breaking up Of one of the most corrupt
and rotten systems by which the affairs of a
community have ever been administered Like
rats who desert falling dwelling, our present
Office holders, foreseeing that the existing state
Of things cannot last much longer, are bent
upon cutting clear of IL whilst they can do 80
with safety. As inquiry after inquiry lays
bare the huge frauds that are being perpetrated
upon the public in the different departments,
they are becoming terrified at the prospect of
the ruin which further investigation must
bring upon their regulations They are, there
fore, peaching upon each other with an eager
ncss which shows not only the extent Of their
apprebensions but the universal character of
the delinquencios thus partially revealed to us.

BS- Kansas is preparing to present
itself, next winter, for admission into the
Union. When the question comes up,
there will be an interesting spectacle, and
we are curious to see how the especial
guardians of southern rights will deport
themselves. They will, of course, be
powerless against their allies in the North,
yet it will be pretty opening for fight,
and we expect the gallant southern loco
focos to contest every inch of ground-for
Buncombe-aud when defeated, exult over
the soundness of northern locofocoism on
the slavery question, and, perhaps, cry
aloud, that squatter sovereignty is the true
doctrine, and Douglass, the embodiment
of democracy

THE CONFESSIONAL IN THE CHURCH OF
ENaLAND.--A very deep feeling of dis
satisfaction at present pervadcs the minds
of the prople of England in consequence
of the disclosures made of certain prac-
tices of the clergymen of the Church of
England, who it is clearly proved have
introduced the worst practices of Romish
confessional into that church. Other ca
ses have also been brought to the notice
of various Bishops, the most recent being
that of the Rev. Mr.. West, officiating in
the diocese of the Bishop Of Oxford, at a
place called Boyne Hills. The reverend
gentleman was put upon trial and acquit-
ted. The fact that he had required mis-
parishioners to confess to him, and that
he had put the most revolving questions
to females at the confessional, was admit
ted by himself,

the New American Cyclopadia, and as he
has, SO far, made but little effort, we are
encouraged to believe that he will double
that number. 1t is only necessary to see

its character, to persuade any one to take
it, who is able to pay for it, at the rate of
about three and half dollars for every

like to know how much money was taken
from the Treasury to pay the sixteen, or
seventeen hundred hands put in the Navy

after this manner
We speak the sentiments of many intel
ligent men in this section of the State
when we say that Burrows will go east to
Cayuga Bridge with from 1000 to 10000
majority over Morgan, and nearly 10000
over Parker. There is a stampede in the
west our opponents little dream of. If
the east does half as we'll in proportion,
Burrows will be the next Governor Of
New York. Never since the memorable
campaign of 1854 has there been any
thing to compare with the enthusiasm in
the ranks of the Americans of Western
New York.
