from the Grinding Committee
The Salt Spring bill taken up Committee of the
Whole.
Mr. CoSiuDG moved TO add one per cent bushel
additional to the duty salt
The Speaker and Messrs. Ranney and Slocum opposed
the increase Of the duty being tax the consumer

essential duties of that officer performed effec-
lively and at once.
+. S.-Since the above was written, Mr..
Morton, the City Inspector, has sent us letter
showing that the health Of the city is excellent,
and would have the public believe from this
that the streets are kept clean. Hitherto, when
complaints were made against the filthy condi-
ton Of the city, the Street Inspectors were in
the habit of publishing long tables of the num-
Der of cart loads of dirt alleged to have been
taken away weekly, but without mentioning
the tons left untouched. Now tables of NOR
tally are paraded for the same purpose. If the
Metropolis is healthy, as the bills Of mortality
show, We are indebted to the beautiful weather
we have been blessed with, and the refreshing
spring showers which have removed the surface
filth from our cutters.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1859-03-23

The CITY INSPECTOR AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH.-
The appointment Of City Inspector in place Of
Mr.. Morton, whom the Mayor refuses to recognise,
has been further delayed for the want Of quorum
in the Board Of Aldermen On Monday, at which
timc we believe, Mayor Tiemann was about to
have sent in the name of another person, whom
nc deemed more popular with that body than bis
former nominee, DIR. Foster, who has withdrawn.
The Board Of Aldermen, however, seem deter
mined TO Illustrate every effort to put the city into
clean and sanitary condition. Meantime, the
streets remain in disgraccful state; the warm
weather is approaching rapidly, and as surely as
the summer sun shines 80 surely will disease and
death generate in our filthy cutters and reeking
streets and deciriate the city. Some measure
should be taken to avert this calamity. The
Board Of Health, If we mistake not, can exercise
their authority in cleaning the streets; and in the
present emergency they ought 10 do so. The
public must not be permitted to suffer the
IDiscries and dcsolaiion of dangerous epidemic
TO crafty Tie personal or political feelings Of
body of men 70 corrupt as The Board Of Alder
men OF this Metropolis.
The Board will meet again TO morroy. and we
would suggest that IL they again refuse TO con
firm the Mayors nominee Tor City Inspector
some strong measures should be taken 20 ecc the

other means of retrenchment decided upon by
the new Postmaster General, in consequence Of
the crippled condition the FINANCES he had dis

The new conservative opposition movement in
Virginia thus receives new impulse Of encour-
agement; and thus, before the end of May, we
may have the beginning of new diversion
which will confound the wrangling democracy
and the exuling black republicans, and put in
active motion general and wholesome popular
revolution. We are in the midst Of the spring
freshets, and the broken fragments Of the de-
mccratic party appear to be drifting down to sea
with every food.

Northern and Southern democratic leaders in
the late refractory and disgraceful democratic
Congress have brought upon the party this
gloomy state Of things. Mr.. Buchanan's domestic
and foreign policy, had he been cordially sustain
ed by the democratic majority in each house Of
Congress- would have consolidated the party
throughout the country. But the bad faith and
reckless folly of one clique upon the Lecompton
question, Of another upon the Mormon army ap-
propriations the filibustering question, &c., and
of another upon the revenue and tariff policy Of
the administration, have practically broken up
and disbanded the national democracy and left
them to the mercy of their enemies In this
connection, the last act Of saving grace
on the part Of the administration its late dcci-
sion against an extra session of Congress
probably only expedite that incurablc disaster
which Mr.. Buchanan has been so anxious to pre-
vent: the final dissolution Of the party.
But, whatever may be the consequences to the
party from the foolish courses of faithlcss local
and sectional leaders, the administration, upon
the general merits Of its domestic aud foreign
policy, will be sustained by the country. Thas,
too, though the party in 1860 may be swept out
of existence, Mr.. Buchanan will be relieved from
all the responsibility aud all the consequences.
