THE CONTRACTS FOR UTAH AND NEW MEXICO
A Coon EXAMPLE SET BY THE PRBsTDEST.-By
reference to our Washington Geographic des-
patch it will be seen that the bids for the sup
plies of the army in Utah and New Mexico were
opened on Saturday in the presence of Mr.. Bu-
cbanan himself, the Secretary Of War being
absent. This attendance Of the President to
superintend the opening Of bids for contracts, in
order to prevent any foul play, is worthy of imi-
tation. Had other Presidents been as careful
in times past, we should have less Of that cheat
ing and corruption and public plumber which
have for so many years disgraced our
government and prcjudiced our institutions in
the sight Of the populations of Europe and of
those by which We are surrounded on this con-
tnent. 1t Is characteristic of Mr.. Buchanan's
administration that all through he has paid mi
mute attention to the details Of his government,
as far as it was possible for him to do, and thus
he has guarded the public from many frauds,
and himself from bearing the odium Of the dis
reputable acts Of other men. The old con-
tractors, Majors, Russell Il CO.. have not OBJ
tanned any Of the new contracts. The gain to
the public may be estimated when they are in
formed that the former contract was 81 so per
pound for every hundred miles. Tho present
is ST a. being o saving Of 46 cents on each
pound, or more than rs per cent.

An OPENING FOR GREAT Political Re-
FoRM-The old magicians and alchemists used
to divide their valuable time between re-
searches after the philosophers stone and at
tempts to discover the means Of creating and
prolnngins human lffc. Larrcrly we nave had
new school of dreamers, who call themselves
spiritualists, who claim, through Judge Ed
monds and others, to have established intimate
relations with their friends in the other world
Through the assistance of disembodied spirits
they have discovered new religion, by which
communication with the Infinite is rendered as
facile as if it worked by steam or electricity.
This is so great step towards new social re-
form-a revolution, in fact-that it is hardly
possible to tell where We may stop. Perhaps
Judge Edmonds and his conireres may discover
some way of bottling up the surplus spiritual
electricity which plays such pranks with their
furniture, and using it by sort of newly
contrived galvanic battery. If this can
be done we might galvanize those
mammoth Bennett pumpkins, and put
them up as leaders, guides and teachers
of the people. As politicians, Congressman,
Aldermen, Councilmen, &C. we are quite conf
dent that they would be quite as intelligent as
the majority of our rulers, while they might be
depended upon for honesty and integrity; as
parsons, they would be sure not to preach
fanaticism. bgoiry and intolerance; and as
journalists they would never commit such stupid
plumbers as those of Jefferson Brick and the
reverend Caleb Jedediah Melchisedek Hurlbut.
If Judge Edmonds will go to work at the
spiritual galvanic battery, we will agree to find
the raw material to replace the present race of
editors politicians, and so on altogether, COM
mencing with Mr.. Brick and his quadrlateral
collaboration.

THrRrow WEED, Booty Brooks, AND THE
REGISTRY BUsrNEss.-The venerable Thurlow
Weed thinks it very remarkable that. while all
the republican papers Of this city "denounce
in proper terms the outrage Of the democratic
supervisors in defeating the Registry law, the
New York Express after clamoring for years
for registry law, is dumb" And we think,
too that there is something in this matter cal
culated to astonish Thurlow, when it appears
that the Supervisors have appointed more than
three hundred and City foreigners ont of the
six hundred registrars, without remonstrance
from Brooks.
In truth. however, this action Of our Supervi-
sors is nothing more than the result of con-
test between the republicans and democrats of
the Board, in which the former were caught
mapping, and beaten at their own game. The
unaccountable absence of republican member
or so explains the whole business. The demo-
Gratis, selling the advantage Of the majority thus
accidentally at their command, made the an.
pointments, and distributed them chiefly among
their own men. Had the same advantage been
offered to. the republicans, they would have
dcttu III tnc saulc way. We presume, however,
that Mr. Supervisor Bell and his colleagues did
put few Americans on guard" and that
Brooks is thus resigned to fraternize with the
Patricks and the Michaels Of the registration
catalogue, in order to teach wholesome lesson
to Seward, and his good man Friday, Thurlow
Weed. We dare say too, that so far as the
Registry law is concerned, twill be fhitAfully
administered by the pets Of the democracy as 1t
would be by the camp followers Of tho repub-
licans.

A TAMMANY "CLAM BAKE."-The political
items man Of one of our Sunday papers has
discovered new dodge on the psht of the
Tammany sachems in view of an Official sue
cessor to Master Dick Busted. Thus, our
Sunday contemporary in question, in speaking
Of "Sam JONES' the fisherman" says
We reminded of this historical incident Thurs
day, upon being shown card OF invitation TO clam
Aston House hotel signed Chares setson. Presdentn
and countersigned tJohn T. Devn, Chief Clam Digger
The card was headed, in big letters .Clamsl Clans I!
Clans \" and was in possession Of onoche Of the
TammaDy political machine, who nformcd that
the great rulers and regulators Of matters and things
in and around the cold Wgwam' had 'iarrangedr that
John F. Deyln the sonnaw Of the worthy host OF the
Aston, Counsel TO the Commissioners of Emigration and
good fellow generally, should be the democratic noni.
for Counsel TO the Corporation. The clam feast at
"Jersey Farms" was designed to consummate that "ar
quietly into the old shoes Of Dick Bsteed where he hopes
TO find profitable clam digging than he has been
able to realize around Castle Garden.
Now, withouttouehingupon the question of Mr.
Devlns clans, claims or chances for this very fat
Office Of Corporation Counsel, we cannot avoid
a word of appreciation of this ''cam bake" plan
OF making appointments, as contrasted with the
ancient ruffian system of Tammany Hall. 1t is
to be hoped that the sachems will follow up this
"clam-bake" reform to the entire abolition of
the Old Wigwam, and give us hereafter, when
they have any spoils or plumber to divide not
rowdy gathering in Tammany, or the Coal
Hole, or the Pewter Mug, but a clam-bake over
in Jersey or down at Coney Island, or an oys-
ter stew within striking distance Of the new
placer in the Sound. Thus the wholesome In
auences Of dinner Of she'll fish in the open air,
and the pure and invigorating atmosphere Of
the woods or the sea shore, would do much to
cure even the oldest bruisers of Tammany Of
their brutal propensities, and to bring them
within the pale of civilized society. In this
view we commend this Jersey "clan-bake" of
Mr.. Stetson to the special attention of Tam
many, as good example. The price of the
tickets could he regulated so as to keep the
roughs at home. The idea Is a splendid one,
and In this connection Mr.. Stetson looms up in
the ane proportions Of public benefactor.

BOILER ExPLosIoNs-NE OF RIGoRoUs LEGAL
ENAcrMENTs.-We can hardly believe that the
people of New York are so exceedingly care
less and apathetic as not to feel some degree OF
alarm for the dangers to which they are daily
and hourly subjected by the recklessness prac-
tised in the matter of steam boilers. We can
not say how many boiler explosions, more or
less fatal, occur in this city in the course of a
year. They probably average one week, and
in every instance almost they arise from the
most culpable carelessness. Sometimes the ex-
plosion is caused by the worn out condition Of
the boiler, sometimes by exposing it to too
high pressure OF steam, sometimes by de-
fciency of water, and sometimes through the
utter ignorance of those employed to attend
them. But in all these instances it is really
recklessness and culpable negligence that lie at
the foundation
The late boiler explosion at the Girard
House. following so speedily upon the much
more terrible one in Goerck street, and occur
ring the very morning on which the HERALD
contained an article on this very subject. has
stirred up public attention to this matter. ard
we hope that the feeling will not subsde until
wholesome and rigorous legal cnactments are
applied to remedy the evil. In the CT rard
House case 1t is made to appear by the
evidence pretty clearly that the cat ,astro-
pho was caused by one of two things either
the carelessness and incompetency of the
engineer, or the insufficency of the + ,oaer in
point of strength. Now, these are the two
things which wholesome laws can b. made to
reach, and in this way: We want first, and
above all, law prohibiting under very severe
penalties the employment Of any man on an
engine, whether stationary or loo omotive, who
has not passed examination bys. board of en-
cneers, and obtained certihc ate Of his com
potency; and also Furnishing any person who
will continue to employ as ~ engineer man
who is known to be careless or of Incorporate
habits. Secondly, we wan a law imposing a
heavy fine on those who d. not, at least once a
year, have their boilerssx amined and subjected
to the usual tests, by J ,oard to be appointed
for that purpose. five had such wholesome
laws made and duly nforced there would NOT
be one steam hoila explosion for every ton
that we have now " chronicle. We cannot re-
frain, in this cor nection, from thanking the
jury in the Gtard House case for having re-
cognized the pecessity Of an annual inspec-
ton OF boilers They included in their verdict
recommend alton " that the proper authorities
pass an ordinance making it obligatory on the
part OF az persons using a stationary or hand
engine TO have the boilers inspected at least
once year by a competent person appointed
for that purpose"
This is step in the right direction, and we
call upon our legislators at Albany to take

moval and the cajolery Of the irresponsible in
dviduals who approach them with their beg
ging books.
