of a Mifeter to draw, if not to earn, his wages;

nothing without him. We do, therefore, hereby

bidder. Instead of doing this. he has gone On
cleaning the streets by the old wasteful inefficient
Days work system. at the rate Of $4,000 a year.
As long as the appropriation lasted the work was
done, after fashion--that is few Of the leading
thoroughfares were swept, but the majority Of the
streets in the poorer sections Of tho city rarely saw
the face or felt the broom Of the scayengsr. Alter
that, the city was left untouched for months, savs
that an extra appropriation was obtained for tho
removal Of ashes and garbage; meanwhile

The case of Alderman Richard Barry now rep
resentatiye in the Common Council from the Sixth
Ward, is notable instance of the way in which po
litical partizansbip sways the administration OF
criminal justice in this city, In the Fau OF 1853,
Barry, who was then q member OF the Board oil
Education, from the same Ward, went into Cor
man beer cellar of i'll repute in Howardstreet, and
savsgely assaulted the proprietor and some OF tho
girls of the place. While this fight was going on
some one robbed the proprietor OF the cellar OF q
diamond pin, bis watch, and the money contained
in the till. Barry was arrested, charged with the
crime of assault with intent to rob, found guilty Of
an attempt to create riot, and on the 23d Of Octo.
Der, 1853, was sentenced by the Recorder to the
Penitentiary for four months. City Judge Russell
on the 10Th of November following quasted the con-
yiction and sentence of Barry, and held him in 900
bail for new trial. That trial mas never been
had. Recently, the District Attorney, contending
that this reversal was not legal, took out writ Of
error, on appeal to the General Term of the So
preme Court. On Saturday last, that Court quash-
ed the writ deciding that it is clear, however un-
authorized or erroneous the order of the City
Judge on Nov. 18th may have been, that such or
der cannot be reviewed, or such corrected by
writ Of error under the act of 1852" It appears.
therefore, that any criminal, who happens to have
friend at Court, may after conviction and SEN
tence, and the imposition of the penaty-for Barry
had been taken to the Penitentiary, we believe-be
liberated by any judge having coordinate jurisdic-
ton, in spite of law, judge and jury. No wonder.
then, that motion should be grayely made to dis
charged prisoner under sentence of death, as in
the case of Sheppard, on Saturday last II this
doctrine is to prevail. we may shortly expect 10
witness general jail delivery. In that event.
Judge Russell would do well to beware Of bis par
ticuIar and esteemed friends the garroters.

PRO RATA.

The Senate of cur State will soon proceed to con-
slider and decide the fate Of the Assembly bill de-
signed to secure to the farmers manufacturers and
merchants Ofour State the of our own Railroads
on equal terms with TIE citizens Of other States.
II seems TO us clear that Ns,c- York Legislative
body can hardly hesitate to say Amen to such bill.
Be it clearly understood that this bill does not at
tempt to have freight carried thirty miles for a
tenth part of TIE charge for three hundred miles,
Lor anything like il. fit did, we should oppose it,
as we indicated last Winter. What il attempted is
to graduate Railroad charges for carrying Through
and Way Freight respectively at the actual cost
Of such conveyance in either case, 80 nearly as may
be. iii costs fifty cents to transport barrel Of
-four by rail from Buffalo to Albany, then it cannot
cost more TO convey just such barrel in Like man
ner from LockpOrt or Rochester to Albany, and
should not be charged at higher rate. Our far
mers, millers and manufacturers can stand high
charges if they fairly adjusted to the cost OF tho
ervice rendered but they cannot afford to pay low
ates iftheir rivals further West are charged still
lower. ALI they ask is Justice-EquaHty.

The late Republican State Convention of OHIO
passed but q single resolve-a declaration that
SALMON p CHASE was the first choice of that
State for next President. Even of the four Sen
atOral delegates-David K. Cartier, ThOmis
SpoOner, Volney b. Horton and Charles Broad
beck-Mr. Horton is thought to be but moderate
Chase man. Of the District delegates thus far
chosen, Thomas Corwin and Columbus Delano are
presumed to be anti. Chase, and there are doubt
less others. Yet we think Gov. Chase's friends
have done wisely in not endeavoripg to force the
election of unanimous delegation by the ma
chinery of State Convention.

The N. Y. Times is shocked that one of our
Washington correspondents should have tele-
graphed that Mr. Douglass speech following Gov.
Stewards was very poor affair, and orsculariy
anirms that this judgment does not express our
candid opinion of Mr.. Douglass speech, magste-
rally adding "This sort of journalism is ex-
"ploded."
We are impeLled TO assure our sinuous neighbor
that our own judgment does not differ essentially
from our correspondents. We are quite
aware that Mr.. Douglas can make able, effective
speeches, but that of last Wednesday was not Of
this sort and the fact that he ran make good
speech deepens his condemnation for making poor
one on such an occasion. Gov. Seward had just
made decidedly good speech-remsrkably good
even for him, who very rarely makes any other.
1t was a speech fortified at all pOints-calm in
temper, dignfed in tone, skillful in arrangement,
and statesmanlike in every feature. 1t had OF
course been carefully, thoughtfully prepared, as al
speeches on such themes should be, though too
many are not. Ii Nr. Douglas deemed it his bust.
ness to answer that speech, DO should have given
himself time for preparation, and thus done justice
to his position before the country instead of rising
on the spur of the moment and pouring ous crude
mass of mere partisan commonplace, such M any
candidate for Congress, stumpiDg some backwoods
corner of bis district with no one to answer or
criticize him, might utter day by day. Such Is our
opinion; the public will OF course reudse is.

create State debt of 81 800 00O for the purpose
of constructing railroad to the eastern boundary

which the road may be built, would be recon-

LIGHT AT LAST.

Mr. Royal Phelps, of this city, is gentleman OF
wealth and Democrats; and so far as we ore
aware, lie has borne a highly respectable character
in the community. But his name appeared as one
of tie sigDers of the infamous Manifesto of the
Fifth Avenue Vigilance Committee published In
October last In that Manifesto various atrocious
charges, involving completely in treason, and MUIR
der in general and in John Browns invasion of
Virginia in particular, were brought not only
against the Republican party as whole, but
against individuals of honorable repute. These
charges were promptly denied and disproyed; and
Their authors were repeatedlg5 called upon to re-
ract than. But by that strange fatality of poll
les which sometimes converts men otherwise
characterized by gentle manners and conscientious
regard for truth into fanatical and ferOcious
Ianderers, and apparently extinguishes in them
he sense of right and of manly duty, the members
of the Fifth Avenue Committee have persistently
kept silent. Knowing that they had put forth
g1Os. and caluminous falsehoods, which they could
not justify by a shred of proof they have yet
lacked the sense of g, ntemany obligation and the
moral courage which might have led them TO re-
call their hasty and bitter accusations.
One of the gentlemen on whom the authors of the
Manifesto Literally cast their venom was Mr.. Gerris
Smith. Illness for some months rendered him un-
able to take action in the premises; but having
recovered his health, be has commenced legal pro-
ceedings against the slanderers. In reply to the
letter of Mr.. G. d. Miller, the son-in-law Of Mr.
Smith, calling on him for redress, Mr.. Royal Phelps
BIAS written the following extraordinary nete;
