Doc STEALING IN THE METRoPoLrs.-Not the
least of the many annoyances to which residents
of the metropolis are exposed, is the continual
vexation arising from having valuable dogs
stolen by the organized gangs Of dog thieves
which infest the city, and who pursue the bust
ness Of dog stealing for Livelihood. There is no
security against these vagabonds, who beset
your premises and waylay your path as soon as
1t Is discovered that you possess a dog worth
stealing. Women with baskets enter your base
ments under the pretence Of asking for cold
victuals, and snap up your favorIte black and lon

Last week the first two items were put through
the Board of Councilmen. The Broadway opera
ton (No. y has been defeated by a single vote
in the Board of Aldermen, but there is little
doubt that the desired vote will be forthcoming
when the proper price is paid for it. The Mayor
has vetoed contract No. A, but two-third vote
will carry it over his veto. The other three
schemes, for keeping the parks in order NO -,
for removing the offal NO. 81, and for the repair
Of the pavements (No. g., have not yet been
fully hatched; but they will soon break the
shell and come forth live misunderstanding
birds. 1t is stated that some of the contractors
openly boast that they have three-fourth vote
secured; and if that be the case, the con-
tracts need not be sent to the Mayor at
all, for the charter provides that "by vote
of three-tourths Of the members, all laws
may be passed" without the consent of
the Mayor. Truly, precious charter that
Further, this instrument has been 80 drawn, in
anticipation of future plumber, that it is not
necessary to make any contracts whatever. A
rose will smell as sweet by any other name, and
executive departments are just directed to EN-
ploy certain men to do certain work, aud to pay
certain prices for it. OF course this is not q
contract at oil. Such is the way 'the devil is
whipped round the stump by the ingenuity of
well paid lawyers 1t appears that in one single
case responsible parties offered to do the same
work for S6s5000 less than what the Council
men have voted to pay for it to those who have
made them all right" Among those who
voted for this wholesale plumber is one of the
editors Of city paper. This is like the Battery
enlargement swindle to which it is said another
job is to be appended, to be called ''the speedy
completion Of the Battery enlargement" The
contractor for the filling in CT the increased
space, instead of paying for the work done, was
actually himself paid handsomely for each load
of rubbish which he permitted citizens to dump
there, and when he thus secured the profitable
part of the job, then refused to fulfil that part of
bis contract which would cost him anything.
And it stands at this moment in most disgrace
ful state. The Mayor, by bis veto, which we
publish in another column, shows that the con-
tractors for the night soil have shaved the city
after the same fashion. fl
Thus are the patient, unresisting citizens o
New York victimized from year to year, TILL like
the camel, their backs are almost broken with
the burthen. 1t is no wonder that the taxes

GIGANTIC SCHEME OF CRY PLUNDER.-A
scheme of contracts is now on foot in the Com
mon Council, amounting in all to $3,275,OOO,
by which, if carried into execution, The city will
be plundered of at least two millions of dollars.
The plan is not to advertise for the lowest bid
ders, but to give the work to the highest bid
ders-to those who will bid high enough not
only to remunerate themselves but to pay for
votes by which the contracts are decided. We
do not cay that all who vote for this wholesale
plumber do 80 with their eyes open, but those
members who do not see what is going on must
be very blind indeed, and it would be much bet.

else than to city legislation. 1t is evidently not
their forte.
