The SPRING TRADE IN THE MErRopoL1s.-The
spring trade, according to all the usual indi-
cations, bids fair to be equal to if not greater
than that of any previous year. The hotels
are fast filling up, the Wholesale houses have
exceedingly large orders, and the freighting
business on the railways is exceedingly good.
If the present mild weather holds we shall
hear in day or two of freshet in the upper
Hudson, and the river will be opened as early
as last year, when it was free on the 10th Of
March. An infallible sign Of the revival of
trade may be found in the pressure of adver-
tisements upon the columns of the HERALD.
Although the retail trade has scarcely COM
menced, the Broadway shops are thronged
with customers, while the troHoir exhibits on
fine afternoons the gayest and most animated
scene that can be imagined. Although the
religious and fashionable world is supposed to
be in Lenten penitence, abstinence and prayer
the Opera and the theatres are nightly crowded.
and all public amusements are prospecting fine
ly. If the Common Council will only cause
the streets to be cleaned, or will permit some
body to do it for them, there will be nothing to
prevent us from having most agreeable spring
and summer season.

Tom FORD UNELEorED.- old adage that
'there is many slip between the cup and the
lip" was never more fully verified than in the
case of Tom Ford, to whom we gave so good
notice yesterday, firmly believing, with all the
world, that he was verify and truly elected
Printer Of the House of Representatives
Scarcely was the ink dry on the paper on
which our congratulations were printed, when
behold the lucky Tom became suddenly and
Unexpectedly unlucky and unelected. From
our report of the proceedings Of the House
yesterday, it will be seen that Mr.. Rufin unset
tied the whole business. Had our encomium
of Tom only reached him in time, it is proba-
bic he would not have been so hard on the
Chevalier. It appeals that the republican
Clerk, accidentally of course, omitted the
name of Mr.. Rufin from the vote, which was
not discovered till Mr.. Ford was sworn in
The vote as it stood recorded was SO for Ford
90 being necessary to choice, the whole vote
being ls5. But, by the addition of Mr.. Ruff
fms vote, it required 81 votes to elect, and,
consequently, the election was rendered null
and void, and the House proceeded to ballot
again, when Tom fell four short of an election,
and we fear he has gone by the board. AS a
manager of the corruption printing fund,
take him all in all, the House will never look
upon his like again.

ANOTHER NOMINEE OF MAYOR WooD's REJECTED
BY THE AIDERMEN.-Mayor Wood sent in an
other name to the Board of Aldermen, for con-
frmation as President of the Croton Board, on
Tuesday-Mr. Jas. S. Libby-a very respecta-
bic man, but he also was rejected by the un-
appeasable Aldermen. We hope Alderman
Brady, who told us the exact sum which the
friends of Mr.. Tucker offered him for his vote,
will now inform us what amount the friends of
Libby proposed to give. Indeed, it would be
well if he would state at once what the regular
price required is. We have no doubt that the
friends of all future nominees would like to
know what sum they may have to put down.
1t would save them great deal of trouble
We are now in possession Of the fact that
$4,000 is below the mark for an Alderman; but
it would be great convenience to know the
precise figure at which one can be bought.

A SOUTHERN OPINION OF THE Rev. Mr.. SPUR
GEoN-A newspaper published at Jacksonville,
Florida, has very savage attack upon the New
York publishers of Mr.. Surgeons works, spro-
pos to the statement that they stand ready to
publish anything that he may say on the SUBJ
ject of slavery" The following language,
which is more forcible than elegant, is applied
to Mr.. Spurgeon and his publishers -" If
Messrs. -- intend to publish the insane con-
ceits Of q Defeating, puffed.up vain, over

book of Helper, then we think the South should
know 1t, and bestow their patronage according
ly.'' These things show the state of feeling in
the South, and we reprint them, that the mer-
chants of the metropolis may see the effect of
black republican doctrines upon their Gus
toners below Mason and Dixon's line.

~ bHx hiounk LAW OnACfE'S RxGP0e15E.-
The silence Is broken. At length the oracle
Of black republication has uttered its re-
spouse. William II. Seward has made his
speech in the United States Senate, and we
print it in full, for the benefit of all whom Il
may concern. 1t is his second manifesto, his
last bid for the Presidency. 1t is the exposi-
ton and elaboration of his T" irrepressible con-
lict speech delivered at Rochester.
The foundation ON which 80 tall a structure
is erected is very slight indeed. All this vast
array of argument and this multitude Of words
are built on the superstition that there is q
danger of Kansas not being admitted as q free
State. II there was any danger, surely the
onslaught of Mr.. Seward upon the labor of the
slave States would be more likely to increase
1t than otherwise, In body in which the ma
jority are decidedly opposed to his views.
Perhaps he does not want the Territory admit
ted, in order that grievance may be manu-
featured out Of it, and that 1t may become
again source of fierce agitation and political
capital. II Kansas has the requisite popula-
ton she will be admitted, and admitted, too, q
free State, as matter of course. All the
power Of Congress and the Executive com.
bined could not make her slave State. Then
why waste 30 much bad logic, and perverted
history, and why make 80 many rhetorical
flourishes, to induce the members of the Senate
to do what they appear not to have any objec-
ton to, though the admission of Kansas will
give three electoral votes to the republican can
didate for the Presidency, whether he be Simon
Cameron or w. H. Seward! But this was peg
made by the Senator from New York that he
might hang on it an electioneering speech,
which, though addressed to the Senate, is real
ly intended for the Chicago Convention, the
republican party and the country at large.
Mr.. Seward does not renounce the doc
trines of his Rochester manifesto. If he did
so, his fall would be speedy and complete.
But he does not endorse the act of John
Brown at Harper's Ferry, because he regards
the raid into Virginia as precipitate, prema-
ture and not well timed. In other words. it
was failure, and not only involved useless
loss of life, but is the most embarrassing diff
Guilty Mr.. Seward will have to contend with
before the country. Brown only carried out
the irrepressible doctrine of Stewards Roches-
ter manifesto and Helpers book, which Mr..
Seward endorsed. Had Brown succeeded, and
had the millions of Northern republicans
marched on the South, as Hickman in the
House Of Representatives threatened they will
do hereafter, then Mr.. Seward would applaud
the traitors act as prompted by the highest
wisdom. Brown led the forlorn hope in the
van Of Stewards army, and that army will fol-
low in his track as sure as day follows night,
unless it is utterly routed by revolution at
the ballot box.

The STREET CLEANING hvEsrIGArIoS-THE
RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLAcE.-The Alder
men are in terrible stew about the new ar.
rangement for cleaning the streets. Alderman
Terence Farley, Chairman of the Committee on
Street Cleaning, has addressed notices to the
Mayor, Comptroller and City Inspector, de-
string that all documents and papers relative
to the street cleaning contract shall be sent to
the committee at its meeting on Saturday. The
Comptroller is also requested to furnish an &C
count of the expenditures in the City Inspec-
tors department for the past year Mr.. Down
ing is directed to forward an account, in de-
tail, of carriage and labor of the department.
A general ovezhauling is intended, and Alder
man Farley, 1t appears, purposes to enter upon
full expedition and investigation of the
street cleaning business, as it has been hereto
fore done.
Terence Farley is just the man for an investi-
cation. He has experience in these matters, and
knows exactly how an investigation ought to
be conducted. He knows how to ask ques.
lions, and how not to answer them, as well as
any individual in the city. He is, in fact, the
right man in the right place. An investigation

we have yet seen. We trust however, that Mr..
Delavan, Mayor Wood and Comptroller Haws
will persist in carrying out their plan for clean
ing the streets, and let the Aldermen 60 to the
most congenial individual they can find for con-

LEGISLATIVE TwADDLE.-The Albany legisla-
tors from the rural districts sometimes indulge
in good deal of nonsense when they attempt
to NEEDLE with the affairs of this city. For
instance, in the debate on the Pro Rata bill in
the Assembly on Tuesday, Mr.. Ellsworth, from
Saratoga, talked about the great money power
of New York and its crushing oppression upon
the western part Of the State, the unlawful
aggrandizement of its citizens over other por-
tions of the State, and so forth. This is all
the veriest twaddle, and is just the kind of
stuff with which the lobby is accustomed to
cram verdant country members when they
want to pass such Ubiquitous measures as the
Metropolitan Police bill and other enactments
Of that character. They represent that such
and such bill will be instrumental in crush
ing this terrible monopoly and that gigantic
interest in the metropolis, and thus frighten
rustic legislators into assisting their schemes.
There must be centre of trade somewhere,
and where that exists of course there will be a
large money power; but the interests of New
York are not confined to the streets and ave-
nues and railroads which comprise the city.
They extend all over the world, and in an
especially beneficial way all over this State.
Mr.. Ellsworth might as well complain of the
great money power Of any village in the State
where millionaire happens to be located, as
an oppression, and all that sort of thing; and
when he talks about there being such thing
as going too far in favor of the city of New
York, he speaks very absurdly. That's ALL

proud, and most heartily do we rejoice that
the convention, fresh from the people and
truly rejecting their wishes, refused TO ac-
cept his declension, but determined to have
the benefit of his experience. And now,
ireemen, will you give him such minority
as this district only can give: He has
finally been prevailed upon to accept re-
election and you owe it 10 yourselves TO
give him majority which shall reverber-
ate like thunder overour Green Mountains,
aud thence re-echo down among the iron

enough without effort We have no strength
and no influence this year, only so far as
we may gain on our former victories.

What say the Republicans Of Reading
You gave a handsome vote last year-be-
ing al, which was brought out by local
feeling. Though your vote was full then,
yet considering it is presidential year, now
can't you bring it up to 100? By the way,
this town from local causes, has sometimes
elected democratic representative. We
have heard of nothing that leads us to fear
any such thing this year, but should such
an attempt be made, we sincerely trust the
Republicans there will unite on a candidate
of their own, bearing in mind that it is also
important for the cause of old Abe, that the
legislature should be as strong in proper
ton as our popular vote. Let us this year
throw aside all local feuds, and bring our
united batteries to bear on the common en-
envy.
