Post Office, awards tu the undersigned credit
TO which he is not untitled. Whatever de-
gree of accuracy and efficiency 1nay hnye

ready cooperation OF the corps Of excellent
clerks by whom hc has been aided IN his Ia

is he indebted to his Assistant, George B.
Armstrong. ESQ.,, without whose valuable aid,
indeed, he should have despairrd Of so con-
iuctipg the Office as to merit any considera-
blcAtgree Of public appreciation.

The Sun, most mistakenly, tells irs readers
that The TRIBUNE
takes from the Southern people admitted right be-
cause il fears that the negroes may 90 so5e lere fme
be made the victims OF persecution.
O no. Sir! you should have known better
than to say this We stated expressly that We
lpprehended the present wreaking of the baiiled
hate of Rebcldom on the powerless negroes OF
the South for their past devotion to the Union
cause, and felt that the true and hearty cham
mons of that cause could not with honor make
haste to allure and discam all power 10 pro-
tect and shield those whom the War has SCI
free And if you are among those friends, 1t
seems 10 rs that YOU must feel this as We DO.
We hearth" agree that il Is every way pre-
terable that the Southern States should severally
deal Justly with their Black People. and SO pre-.
cludc all necessity or excuse for interference
from without. We are doing and shall DO all
We know TO secure thi, consummation, just A.
we greatly preferred that those States should
peacefully abolish Slavery without help or hin
drancc from others. They did not choose I.
abolish it-a matter wholly within their own
discrction-but insisted instead that we a the
North should unite with them in authorizing
and iayoring its diffusion "a matter as 10 which
,ce were entitled to an equal voice with them)-
saying 10 Us, "ConSent e. cytcnu Slavery or
confront IL in Civil War" And now we are
frequently told (mos, abs'rdly) that if the
North had only let Siaf-lg atone, il would have
5cen abolished long ago.
We did not and do not believe this: but we
waited long 10 see how II would be. And row
we say, "Let the South do justice to hey Freed
men: let the North hold of, and give her ample
opportunity TO do So" Iha. seems to Us best
for Us all But, in view of much that We see
and hear, we are bound frankly 10 say that #
the South shall permit defeated and stillvenom.
Gus Rebels to prescribe and prosecute her
Freedmen because of their steadlast and nnani-
nous loyalty to the Union. il will be incumbent
Oh White Unionists TO devise and apply g
remedy. We say this. not to provoke col
lision, but to avert one. We shall not warn
the fox away from the hcnroOst by notifying
him that the premises are devoid Of either dog
or gun.

scented in full herewith, including all its eta

arouse as well as satisfy inquiry, and to

through The hands of our printers, precludcs

some response from the War Department, and
perhaps from other quarters. Let all be heard
in due order. but for to-day Gen. Sherman has
the floor, and does not seem tongue-tied by
bashfulness. Let the hero of unprecedented
marches which were nearly devoid of battles
only because no foe could be found willing TO
encounter him, have a candid hearing

G year of age. London:
And Ney.Iork for the same years

Upon the basis of these tables, We stated
more than year ago that "the rate of NOR
tally in Ncw-York is about half rs large again
as in London, for all ages; while for children
under one year Of age it is a little more than
twice as greut." Appalling as this statement is,
il has never been contradicted. The Report
under con sideration estimates the population of
London AZ three times that OF New-iork, while
IRE estimated it at fonr--a difference sufficient
to account for the difference in the percentages
of mortality deduccd thcreirom. But since we
are criticsing the Registrar upon the evidence
of his own statements, We are quite willing TO
allow that they shall be taken for the pre- cnt as
the nearest correct.
Examining the most fatal months of the
twelve, months in which deficient sanitary work
is not clearly seen, the following results appear,
the first table presenting tie weekly average, of
the deaths of oil ages, and the second the weekly
averages of deaths under one wear of age:

The City Registrar WAS among those VINO
opposed TIE passage of the Health Bill at the
last session of the Legislature, even declaring
(unless we are grossly at fault in recollecuon)
that Ncw-York is now the healthiest city IN the
civilized world-a statement which Is exactly
the opposite Of true. Upon any other than
discreditable suppositions, the Registrar must
be considered as so acting because he holds that
the city is now well enough off as regards
sanitary condition. Nearly all the Original
matter in his lengthy report, excepting tables,
i, devoted to comparisons between the NOR
tality Of Ncw.York and other cities, particu'
larly London, and his statements may therefore
be justly taken as the best that can be said IN
favor of his assumed position. Unless other
wise noted, the figures stated in the present
article are quoted directly from the Registrars
own report.
The total deaths in London for the years 1868
and 1854 were respectively 72,3a6 and 7o,ooo;
and in New-York for the same years, -, l9G and
25,6i5. The remark appended that the INCREASE
in New-York is vastly less in proportion to
population is perfectly true; but remembering
that London is four times larger, how much
matter for graduation is there in finding that the
horrible prominence Of Ne~-York i not so fast
increasingly

parson than b. the following table, which we
reproduce from The TRIBUNE OF April 20, l'G1,
