that under the facilities afforded by the

If any doubt should exist as to the terrible
state Of demorazation in this city of q million of
inhabitants, the annual report OF the Metropolitan
Police Commissioners would painfully dispel it.
In the last year the number of arrests for various
crimes, offences and misdemeanors, amount to
sixty-eight thousand eight hundred and seventy
three. There are no less than twelve hundred
''fallen angels" (known as pretty waiter girls) in
concert saloons. There are ten thousand bar
rooms in New York and Brooklyn. There are
horrible dens here where men,. women and chill
dren sleep in filth and vermin, haddled together
in damp cellars, infested by various and rapaeious
rats And this il city where there are princely
mansions put up at cost Of hundreds of thou.

It affords Us pleasurezto record the fact that
there are many freedmen in our midst who
conduct themselves properly, aad are doing
all in their power to obtain an honest living
for themselves and those who are dependant
upon them This class. should be encouraged
to pursue the course they have marked out.
They should receive at the hands of all an
entirely different treatment than that showed
to the idle and vicious negroes Whenever
q freedman keeps in his proper place and is
disposed to work; and obey the laws, he
should be so treated that he will continue
his good conduct. --'' - -.'zzs,-@E -.
