has won for itself such a renown for the cure of
every variety of Throat and Lung Complaint,
that it is entirely unnecessary for us to recount
the evidence of its virtues, wherever it has been
employed. As it has long been in constant use
throughout this section, we need not do more
than assure the people its quality is kept up to
the best it ever has been, and that it may be re-
lied on to do for their relief all it has ever been
found to do.

tDe junction OF Grand and the Bowery than any
where else. Even ia the middle Of the day Mas
sau street Ia not SO much crowded now az it was
five years ago. but what a marked difference we
find in the streets parallel with Broadway
above the Park. In the evening lower Broadway
is deserted; city life by gaslight begins really
at Canal street The same causes which have
wrought this change within FIVE years past will
operate with double force during the FIVE years
to come. Take the Post Office out Of Nassau
street, and that thoroughare is left to the printers
and law book sellers. It is quite wide enough
for them Indeed, If the ordinances in relation to
the obstruction Of the sidewalks were enforced it
would be quite spacious enough at the present
moment.
The fact is that the Nassau street widening
is a job like the Battery enlargement the pro-
jected street through Trinity churchyard, the
Duane streeqafiair, and several others, some of
which have been whipped through the Corpora
ton, and others are waiting time for their odor
; Of corruption to be dissipated. Down town or
up town. what are called street improvements
always amount to the same thing. Some speeu-
lators get hold of property near certain street;
they can afford to buy up round dozen of AL
dermen, who have been had with as little cere-
mony as is used in purchasing beef in the mar
ket. The speculator makes his cool hundred
thousand OR 80 at the expense of the property
holders on the line of the street. The Aldermen
talk very big about the convenience of the pub
lie, and SO on The public is very conveniently
plundered, and that is all the convenience that
il enjoys.
1t is such things as these street jobs which
have quadupled our taxes in ten years, making
them now equal to the whole expense of the feds-
raj government in John Quincy Adams time.
They have, through the money of the specula.
tors, corrupted our Common Council, 80 that
public virtue is considered in the light of re-
markably good joke by all parties at City Hall.
The property holders of the city know this as
we'll as we do, and they have the remedy in
their own hands For our own part we do not
intend to submit calmly to such things. We
have called the attention of the public to them,
day in and day out, any time during the last five
years And we intend to keep up the fire on all
such odious fragrant and corrupt jobs as this
Nassau street swindle. 1t is worse than useless;
it is positive robbery, downright thieving, abso-
lutte plundering.

IMPROVEMENTS Down Town - THE NASSAU
STREET JoB-There is just now proposition
before the Corporation authorities which is one
of the most outrageous swindles ever concocted
between set of interruptions spectators and
corrupt officials. 1t is the projected widening of
Nassau street, between Liberty and Beekman
Streets by taking twenty-five feet off the wester.
ly side of Nassau street.
The sole argument in favor of the opening of
the street is that it will be of benefit to the pub.
lie: first, by relieving Broadway of portion of
the food that pours through it; and second, that
Nassau street is not sufficiently wide to accom-
modate the business and travel that belong to it.
Now this is only device put forth by certain
spectators to gull the public and make a con-
venient cloak for the bribery of the broken
down politicians who lounge about City Hall.
No good is to be gained by the public from any
such operation, or indeed from the widening or
opening OF streets below the Park The fact is,
that the trade of the city has been steadily fol-
lowing the line Of the East and North rivers ND
town during the past ten years. Thus, we fiud
the great Wholesale houses moving up to Church,
Murray, Warren or Duane streets; the banks
getting out Of Wall street and closing ND to-
wards the Park. Within ten years the.
population of the city and suburbs has doubled
yet we find there are no more stages going to
Wall street now than there were ten years ago.
The great ebb and flow of city travel on foot is
between Duane and Canal streets on Broadway
The up town railroad passengers collect in
greater force at Canal than at Barclay street.
On the other sidea Third or Fourth avenue car
leaves Park row without passengers but picks
them up along Centre street to Grand, more q
