THE inevitable and irrepressible Mr..
William Whiting, who serves the Govern
ment as Solicitor of the Treasury for nothing
we hope the reader will particularly note
the latter fact as it is as much as week since
it has been telegraphed all over the country
has been refused furlough by Secretary
Stanton, who cannot spare his valuable
services for day. This may be all true, but
1t is still quite possible that the country
could spare the services of both of them for
an indefinite period of time, and we propose
they should both be turned out to take
chance at the' fall feed" in order that the
experiment may be tried of the possibility
of getting along without tSsssh altogether

How New YorIxers Live.

The New York Post pronounces many
parts of that city uncomfortable by reason of
the stencil of decomposing vegetable and
animal matter, defective sewerage, &c. As
three quarters of million of people live
in tenement houses in that metropolis, the
importance of good sewers and. general
cleanliness cannot be magnified. The fol-
lowing facts have often been stated, but
will bear repetition: OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, -,
'n There are $50 tenement houses in New
York, which contain, by actual count, 1O,933
families, or about So persons each; 1893
others, which accommodate Ill persons
each; II others, which cover 140 each,
aud finally, 29-these must be the most
profitable have total population
Of no less than 5,449 souls, or is7' to each

the great piece was touched of, emblazon-
ing the words, 'The Union and Constitu-
tion," which were the platform" of the
evening. The platform was instantly ac-
cepted and ratified with stunning shouts of
approval, and not dissenting voice. No
thing could have been more acceptable than
this simple and expressive enunciation of
the grand aim of the Mcclellan movement.
Its production was one of the happiest ex-
pedients of the managing committee.
With this glorious display the meeting
came to its natural end, and with one final
series of cheers for Mcclellan, the Union
and Constitution, the monster gathering
broke up. and the citizens slowly and
thoughtfully dispersed to their homes.

A Ningara Falls IIumbug.

The report of FARINI's perilons position
on rock in the rapids of Niagara Falls, is
thus disposed of by a Buffalo paper:
The above Is one of the periodical Mag
ara Falls sensations" gotten up for the
purpose of putting money in the purses of
the enterprising citizens doing business In
the lager beer and sandwich line forninst
the great cataract. Were we, one day, to
see some chap hung, drawn, quartered and
thrown over the center of the Horseshoe
Fall we should not be surprised to meet him
apparently sound and in good health the
next morning-so little confidence have we
in the reality OF the wonders of that won
derful place. We were informed this morn
ing that the unfortunate and fool-hardy
man"-the individual with the esculent
cognomen--is "still on the island" Our
informant further went on to state that Fa-
rini left the island last night took his ease
at his inn, enjoyed refreshing season of
rest and returned early this morning. 1t
is understood that the parties interested
have contributed literally towards making
up purse wherewith to reward the adven-
turOuS man. te+ ~

THE WIND UP.

AT 10 o'clock, by which time the speak
ers had talked themselves hoarse in ineffec-
tual attempts to make themselves heard
though the people would have stood it out
patiently an hour longer-Dr. Stevens, the
efficient chairman of the Committee of Ar
rangements, gave the signal for the grand
pyrotechnic wind up. A fine collection of
fancy fireworks was touched of, after
which the fag-raising, of which there had
been great expectations, took place. The
flag bore fine portrait of the General, in
scribed overhead, "The Country's Hope and
Pride" Underneath was an extract from
one of his famous letters, in which he begs
to serve in the ranks il he cannot be allowed
tolead his soldiers into battle. This beau
tiful banner was slowly elevated between
two poles, to the height of about 80 feet.
AS it rose aloft, and the vast concourse saw
the face Of their beloved hero, they burst
forth in one deafening shout of applause,
and waved hats and handkerchiefs for some
minutes. The crowd surged to and fro in
great waves under the mighty impulse Of
their feelings. Fi-iE e.,r.,,.- -: -. (. ~

New-York daily tribune., 1864-04-09

The account which we print this morning, by
our special correspondent, of Col. Hicks's bril-
liant and successful defense of Paducah, is
clear and full of interest, and although it has
been unaccountably delayed, is still the first
complete narrative which has appeared. The
Rebel forces are known to have numbered six
thousand-in good part mounted infantry, and
therefore effective against fortification. Col.
Hicks's garrison was about one-tenth this
number, insuficiently provided with ammuni-
ton, and exposed to a calling fire from the
houses of the town. In the circumstances, we
regard the defense as extremely credtable both
to the commanding officer and to his men-a
third of whom, it is TO be observed, were colored
troops.
