Corruption OF the Munioipss Govern
ment.

Corruption OF the Munioipsi Govern
One of the crying evils Of the day is the out
rageous corruption OF the municipal govern
mcnt Of the metropolis. The expenses Of the
city government have grown within the last
ten years from five millions to seventeen mil
lions, and it has increased to this unprecedented
amount, not by necessity, but by wastefulness
and fraud. One of our cotempOraries-the
Daily Ti,nes--which is the recipient Of portion
Of the public rnsDcy to the extent OF some
thirty or fifty thousand dollars annually, paid
for Corporation advertising, is the only one
among the many papers similarly favored that
has the courage to den0unce the corruption of
the city officials. II broke ground upon
this subject in an article yesterday, which we
copy into our columns to-day. The bride which
our contemporary receives is not sufficient, 1t
appears, to purchase its silence. We hope that
ii will not lose courage now; but will keep
straight in the course it has adopted. This is
the first honest act which we have known this
sheet to perform, aud it is quite refreshing to
have to record it.
This is at and acceptable time for this State
to relieve the city of the frigbtful incubus of
corruption under which 1t is suffering by elect
ing an entirely different class Of members of
the Legislature from those we have had for the
last ten years. Unless the people all over the
State have pity on us, we can effect nothing in
the way of that kind of thorough reform which
alone can save us. A partial change in the
legislative representatives will be Of little
service. We want the Legislature entirely
remodelled. It is not only the Corporation
which il corrupt; the corruption has extended
to the Legislature as well in the purchase Of
votes, the value of which II is well known are
predcaied upon the price The Corporation ring
will pay for them. This, we say, is the oppor-
| tune moment for working out complete mu-
nicipal reform. The general affairs Of the coun-
| try, which the federal government has under It's
control, will not be settled until Congress meets
| In December next. Then President Johnson
will be in position to take these matters In
hand. But in the interregnum we may settle
the affairs of This State, and especially Of this
city. There is but one way of doing 1t, and that
Is by Governor Fcnton making q clean sweep
of The city officials, from the Mayor down, which
he can couscientiously do upon the documents

THE CnoPs.--Thc reports from the Moth
western states generally are favorable TO. the
abundance Of the cereal crops. In some dis
tricls there appears to be evidence of aNdei-

there will he an immense yield of all kinds OF

place OF governors and legislatures, while Gov
ernor Fenton himself will sink into absolute
oblivion, and the republican party will be
utterl y demolished in the State.
Governor Fenton must remember that the
republican party only carried the State at the
last election by majority of about six thou
sand. Khe refuses or hesitates now to secure
thorough municipal reform, we shall appeal
to the democratic element everywhere to assist
us, and the probability is that the democratic
party will carry the State at the coming elec-
tons by a majority of twenty thousand votes.
We hope, therefore, that Governor Fenton will
follow the course we suggest to him. There is
an Augean stable In our city government that
needs good cleaning. If Governor Fenton
only proves himself the Hercules of the day, he
may win the everlasting gratitude of the people,
and possibly save himself and his party from
humiliation.

FALSE RuM0ns ABOUT NoRrH CARordNA.-We
publish in another column an important tclc-
graphic correspondence between Governor
Holden, Of North Carolina, and two gentlemen
from that state who are now soiourning in this

the Old North State. II appears tbss rumors
originating with Raleigh journal were circu-
lated through the medium of the press des'
patches that great lawlessness existed in North
Carolina that the aristocratic--that is to say,
former slave holding element there--was perse-
