The HERALD AND THE PAPER DUTY.-O. 70 4
the twaddling Western papers accuses tho
HERALD of inconsistency in first favoring th'
repeal of the paper duty, and then oppod %
it We have already fully explained our pos =
ton in regard to this subject AT the first
blush, and out of sympathy with the groans and
complaints of the Western editors, we did favor
the repeal; but upon reflection we could see no
good reason why the newspaper interest should
be relieved from the burdens Of the war, while
other interests continued to suffer. Several Of
our leading contemporaries share our opinions
and join with US in asking Congress not =
repeal the duty.

DEsERTIoNs FROM THE ESEMY.-The frequent
assertions from the rcbc. ranks into our lines
prove that the Generalization in Lees army is
considerable, and is, no doubt, but an illustra-
ton Of the wsvering and dependency IN the
military as well as the political elements Of the
rebellious States. Every boat that reaches
Washington from City Point brings numbers Of
deserters, some Of them belonging to the cavalry
arm Of the service, who bring their equip
ments and horses into our lines. II Is true that
the rebel journals claim number Of deserters
from The Union ranks also; but we think these
will be found 10 come from among those
foreigners who have been kidnapped, as IL
were, In Europe, and thrust into the ranks of
many Of the New England regiments immedi-
ately on their landing. These men, OF course,
find their position In the front very unpleasant,
and they are glad to make any change. But
when they find that they have jumped from the
frying pan into the fire they will be deserving
back again, II the war lasts long enough 70 give
them chance.

EMANCIPATION IN THE BORDER STArEs.-It is
he other border slave States-thc bulk of whose
wealth and the guerdOn of whose prosperity
have been the property held in negrocs-are
voluntarily abolishing the institution Of slavery
by State conventions called by the people, and
by amendments to State constitutions, few
gentlemen from the North, who never owned
slave and have no interest except of a political
character in the maintenance of slavery, should
be opposing its abolition by q constitutional
amendment on the floor Of the Lower House of
Congress.
In Missouri the Constitutional Convention
have just decided upon the absolute abolition
Of slavery by the very positive vote of sixty to
four. Maryland has already abolished 1t. In
West Virginia the question is settled by its con-
stitution. Delaware has only one thousand five
hundred slaves left to be disposed Of, and will
speedily follow the other States The institution
is, to all intents and purposes, dead in Tcnncs-
sec, Louisiana and Arkansas, while il is go
demo rallied in Old Virginia by the war and the
presence Of our armies for the past four years
that il may be considered as cleared out
altogether. The Governor Of Kentucky, in his
last message, admits that slavery il virtually
dead there. He says that the rebellion has
destroyed property in slaves; that II exists in
namc but not in interest, and that what remains
Of II is not only cffete but burdensome.
Thus we see that there are already three
Southern States come over to the North by the
free will of the slaveowners themselves, and
six other States agitating the question in
direction which must end rs II has in Maryland,
West Virginia and Missouri. AS for those
States still in rebellion, the slavery question
will be settled there by military power and
the exigencies Of the time. AS soon as the
plan urged by JEFF. Davis, General Lee and
the Richmond press, Of arming and freeing the
slaves, is adopted-whlch ii probably will be,
as dernier ressort-the institution is dead and
buried forever. How ridiculous II is, then, in
the face Of facts like these, To see few Con-
gressmen from the Northern States resisting
the adoption Of tho Senate's resolution TO
abolish slavery by an amendment TO the con-
stitution.

The CASE OF THE STREET CLEANERS-ALMOST
A RIor.-Two incidents occurred in the city
yesterday, arising out Of what we regard as an
unwarrantable assumption of authority and re-
sponsibility where neither existed. The case Of
the injunction served upon the Mayor by Mr..
John Hecker TO restrain him from signing the
pay rolls of the laborcrs at work in cleaning
the streets was argued in the Supreme Court,
and Judge Ingraham reserved his decision until
tomorrow. Mr.. Heckcr, while proceeding
through the Park TO the court was violently set
upon by two or three hundred of the indignant
laborcrs, and had TO take refuge in the Judges
room.
Now, there was no necessity for any such
demonstration as this. The matter is q very
simple one. as the facts will show. and could
have been easily settled by regular pro-
cess OF law. These workmen undoubtedly
earned their wages and ought TO have received
them, and If Mr.. Boole committed any dcpreda-
ton upon the public purse by overcharging for
cleaning the streets he could be made amenable
in the courts or removed by Governor Fenton
if such charge were established.
But II appears that the "Citizens' Associa-
tion," selfconstituted and unauthorized body,
undertook TO settle tho question in another way,
and to strike at Mr.. Boole through the working
mon. They got one Of their number, Mr..
Hccker, to get out m injunction against the
action Of the Mayor, and thon issued q card in
the papers calling on the laborers TO send their
bills to them, and they would examine them
and have the injunction removed, as far as
regarded the bills which they considered fair
and honest Tho laborers, not recognizing the
right OF any irresponsible body of men TO cor
troll them, refused to acccdc, and, through the
Corporation Counsel, sued for removal OF the
injunction in toto. Hence the riotous proceed
ings Of yesterday.
II h evident that no municipal government
can be properly administered a. long as an as
ISOLATION Of men, wholly without authority and
acting in their own names only, attempt to regu-
late the affairs Of the city in this way, without
regard TO the jurisdiction Of courts, the sanction
of the authorities, or the existence Of State
