Some Queries About Cleaning the
Gttv.

City, etc.
7 It is generally said that the ordinance.
passed by the City Council about the first
of September last for cleaning the alleys
and cutters, and piling the dirt and filth
into heaps to be removed by the Street
Commissioner, has become practically void
and of no effect, even in the face of more
urgent necessity than has existed, during
the last fifteen years, for cleansing and
keeping the city clean, and in the face, too,
ofthe proposed establishment, at an enor-
nous expense, Of a "Board Of HEALTH" one
of whose most important duties shall be, to
see to the cleanliness Of the city and under
whose direction the Street Commissioner is
to remove dirt and filth and other nuisan-
ces that may tend to generate disease. z
In view of these facts, citizens have pro-
pounded to us certain questions, and as we
cannot answer them satisfactorily, we wish
somebody else would. Some of these ques-
tions are put in this or a similar form !:
How. can it be expected that the Street
Commissioner Will obey the orders of the
Board of Health when he would not or
could not, obey the iniunctions of City
ordinance, which commanded him to remove
the heaps of dirt piled up by the citizens,
within twenty -four hours after they were
so piled up, and also made 1t his special duty
TO see that the provisions of the ordinance
for the cleaning Of the streets and alleys on
certain days was complied with by the
Owners and occupants of lots fronting on
the samep L - ,9is 900 7ah
Again, it is asked: Whose fault was 1t
that the foregoing ordinances was not en-
forced-whether that of the Street Conn
missioner, the City Council, or the standing
committee of the Council on Street Com
missioner and Chain-gang? II is also aled
If the ordinance referred to can not be, or
is not meant TO be enforced, whether 1t
would not be better to repeal it altogether
than let it. stand as a law of the City-a
monument of ignorance or incapacity In
municipal legislation, or In the enforcement
of the .Gity's statutes. We have likewise
beenperplexedwitha query like this;7 Sup
lpose existing ordinancesfor cleansing and
keepipgrthea City tcieall were enforced,
would 1t be necessary, to establish Board
of Health for that purpose, or II one were
established for other purposes, would 1t be
necessary TO make the inspection and clean
ing Of the City one Of Its special duties?

= Governor HUMPHREYS, of Mississippi,
has sent in his message to the Legislature
OF that State. He recommends that the
Legislature provide law to allow negroes
to testify In court; that freedmen be en-
conraged to labor; that their children be
educated; that they be assured protection;
that they be taxed for the supportof help
less freedmen; that vagranJs, White and
Black, be compelled to work; that militia
law be enacted to, protect their people
against yagrant White men and Negroes
Governor PARSONS, of Alabama, has like
wise, delivered his message to the Alabama
Legislature. He urges the adoption of the
Constitutional amendment abolishing sla-
very, and the passage of laws protecting
the Negroes in their persons and property.
There Is no reason to apprehced that the
legislatures of Alabama and Mississippi will
not respond properly to the recommended
tions of their respective Governors. Should
not the compliance by these Legislatures
with these recommendations of their Gov
ernors prove satisfactory to our people?
Should 1t not be accepted as q willingness
on the part of the Southern people to do
their duty in the Union? Certainly, therein
they do not evince either acontumacious or
a rebellious spirit. 1t is doing tar more
than at the time the South grounded their
arms of warfare it was supposed they would
do. Unquestionably, they foughtIwith the
-,mnost determined earnestness 70 get out Of
the Union; but falling in that, they are now
manifesting as determined zeal toado all
that can with any degree of justice be ex-
pected from them. Wherefore, then, should
their representatives be denied their seats
in Congress? 'fsStt-''

General Comfy as a Woman
Whipper.

General Comfy, the .heavy man" Of the
Columbus Morning Journal, undoubtedly,
would like to be accounted a brave and
ehivalric gentleman, and we were disposed
to so regard him until by his journalistic
course, he compelled us to adopt different
conclusion; for we cannot accord either to
man who alleges that 'under an aggra-
yated state Of circumstances, one might be
induced to SO far forget himself as to strike
his aged grandmother" This is as much
as to say that a condition Of circumstances
could arise between Gen. Comfy and his
"aged grandmother" wherein he "might
be induced to so far forget himself as to
striker her. No brave or ehivalric man
would for a moment admit that there could
by any possibility such ian aggravated
state of circumstances" arise in which he
'might be induced to so far forget himself
as to strike his aged grandmother" Such
Thought could only find conception in the
mind of a man whose real nature is british
nay worse, for there is In the brute a
feeling that would restrain him from doing
an act so worse than Sdiabolical. The man
who holds, as General Comfy does, that he
could be brought to 80 far forget himself
as to strike his grandmother, would be
very likely to fall into the habit ofwhipping!
his wife, or, by tyrannical demeanor, rem
dering her life excruciatingly miserable.
1t is this man-tbis General COMFY, so
destitute of those god-like feelings that
characterize all men who have brave and
chivalric spirit--who is continually derid-
ing. stigmatizing and misrepresenting the
Democratic party. 1t san infallible truth,
that when you find man who will volun-
tarily, and without any ostensible motive,
stigmatize Democrats as "fags and toad
eatersn who hold "dccency and godliness"
in loathinga abhorrence, he is by nature
mean and in heart malevolent, and he de-
serves reprobation = but when heswritesN
himself down, as General Comfy has writ
ten himsef down, as aspossessing a nature SO
depraved, so vicious, so worse than devlish,
that he ",might be induced to strike his
aged grandmother" language has not yet
been coined sufficiently powerful TO brand
him 80 as to call down upon him the most
abiding scorn of all decent men and women.
How can such man dignity the journalistic
profession, or illustrate wholesome Roliti-
cal or moral sentiment? a4" i9ii'W 1
