HOW THE CITY PAYS TIE COSTS
OF both SIDES.

When the Metropolitan Police Law aspassed, Mr..
Fernando Wood then Mayor, resisted the operation
of the Law in order to retain powerin bis own hands
In ls6i he was paid 81 5G5 for his share of the ex-
pcnses Of that litigation, the sum of sl6,35O having
been previously paid for the expenses Of the other
side.
Ii 1851, there was a controversy between Conoyer
and Devn, as to the. office Of Street Commissioner,
and in 1883 Conover's expenses Of litieating the
question were paid, TO the amount of Sl3oOO and in
1865 DevIin's expenses in the same litigation were
also paid.
In addition TO the above instances we will add
that in December last the Board of Supervisors al
lowed and paid the legal expenses incurred by Con-
troler Brennan in defending himself from charges of
misconduct in office before Gov. Fenton, over - OOO
although Mr.. Brennan has never been acquitted from
said charges directly or implicitly.
And that, in the present year, Mr. Boole, City In
spector. presented to the Common Council his bill of
- $50 for legal expenses incurred in defending him.
self against like charges before Gov. Seymour, the
Committee of the Board Of Aldermen, the Senate
Committee and Gov. Fenton, although Mr. Booe has
never been acquitted although said charges are now
hanging over his head and above ALL although he has
raised, by an annual levy on the employees Of his
office, the money to pay the identical expenses.

TEE Arrival OF CHOLERA.

The British steamship Virginia from Liverpool, ar
rived At this port yesterday and anchored at Quaran-
tine Size has had 3 deaths on board during the
voyage ALL it is supposed Of Asatc cholera. As She
brings DAB passengers all of whom, with four ex-
captions are in the steerage the wonder is that no
more died with the cholera among them. Whether
the disease is checked or whether it still exists on
board, We are no, informed but the probability is that
we shall have a daily bulletin of deaths among her
passengers ior some time to come. The ship was TO
be sent 70 the Lower Quarantine. UnqueStionably,
the precauion is good one and being good, 1T should
not have been necessary, for she should not have
been allowed TO reach the upper station, within
halfl-lozen miles Of the city The very fact that she
brought 50 large a number Of passengers, and that
there had been B deaths board in a voyage of -
days, enough for OBTAINING her below, if
she was boarded in season By the Health Officer. II is
too much, suppose to expect Of the captain OF an
om.gran steamer that he should not try to slip into
port cholera or no cholera, but we have a right TO
look 70 the Health Officer of the port, who is also
member Of the Metropolitan Board Of Health, to use
such measures Of protection III his power TO
keep newly arrived ship infected with pe5ence, at
a safe distance. We can conceive of no
good reason why the Virginia was not boarded
and stopped in the Lower Bay till an
examination could be made into her conditions and
that condition ascertaned she should have been
prevented from any nearer approach. Whether a
Quarantine will prevent the introduction Of the
pestlence is not the question for the authorities have
decided tina, the attempt shall be made by sending the
ship below after she had been allowed to come into
the inner harbor If il Is wise TO such measure

been resortcd to sooner and to resort to them at last

excite Alarm for we 10 not believe that there is any
cause for II. But if we are TO have Quarantine it

". hopo will be the last.
We have now a cholera ship at Halifax and another
IN New.YOrk Bay. Il is a sufficient warning of the
visitation which is sure 70 come There should be
no delay in the needed preparation. The Board Of
Health has done a good deal, but It has good deal
more 10 DO Bat the work does not rest solely in
their hands. A duty deyolyes upon every individual
citizen. Cleanliness can be enforced everywhere;
sobriey is good prophyactic. These being attained,
then lot every body keep clean keep sober and keep
calm. Cholera frightens to death than il kills
by disease and the best measure Of preparation is to
be ready for il and not be afraid of it,

A PLEA IN ABATEMENT.

The EOHd extOlling Mr.. A. III Stephens testimony
and loyalty, and upholdng hi, assumption that tie

to resume the rights and franchises under the Const

We wish the tnionists of the South could have had
the benefit Of this doctrine They were shot, hung,

judicial sentence some of them before any State
had pretended to secede from the Union. Others
were executed as deserters from the Confederate
service, because-being conScripted into the Rebel
armes-they chose to serve in those of their whole

The World must be again reminded that "the whole

mistake that those who have been fragrant ostenta-

as to good many Of them, there would not be the
fantest possibility of putting their lives in jeopardy

There ia one plain, benefcent way out of these

WHAT rREK TRADE DID FOR THE
SOlTH.

Cotton is King" shouted the South, " and Labor
is the business Of slaves" Selfish, arrogant and con-
fdcnt in the secure possession Of iancied monopoly
the South determined, through Der politicians to
play il alone" on Agriculture. She periodically
smashed our Protective Tariffs, aud established Brit
sh Free Trade on the ruin of Northern manuiac-
lures and sought to drive the Mechanical Labor of
the Free States to the unoccuped Western lands, and
TO force it to augment the production of bread and
meat to cheaply feed her slaves while raising cotton
The South played deep her lone" game on Agricu-
ture In the midst of it she burst into war on the
North-staked out Of her cotton-feds into battle
fields How naked the lunatc was Exclusively
devoted to planting, importing everything, making
nothing free trade from her crown to her foot, she
began fighting without iron manufactures, without
cloth manufactures, without leather manufactures
She had no metals nor machinery for making arms
and ammuntion-no establishments for making ma
chinery of transportation-no powder mlls-no paper
mills TO makecartudges regmenal musterrolls
She had to keep open her ports for the ntroduc
ton supplies from Europe no rolling mills shops
to keep her railroads in running order. Cotton alone
she had, bat she had no bagging TO put it in. She
was poor, needy naked aud powerless, save in her
courage arrogance, and determinaton--an awful mon
umen of the fruits of British Free Trade There are
Southerners who clearly this truth. Among
them is Alexander II. II. Stuart, Congressman elect
from Virginia He declared in The Stanton Spectator
of Feb. "a

THE ELECTION FOR CONTROLLER.

Under existing laws our Charter officers. including
the Mayor and Controller, are elected in December
This was so arranged in order that our City affairs
should not be involved in State or National politics.
The wisdom of this arrangement proved az the last
Charter election. Had the Mayoralty election taken
place at the time Of the State canvass, in November
any Tammany candidate would have slipped in with
the crowd. There would have been no necessity for
nominating respectable candidate; and much
worse man than Hoffman would now be Mayor
The most important officer in the City-the Con-
troer-s to be elected next December. There are
two rival aspirants for the Democratic nomination
the present incumbent, NJ. T. Brennan, and Judge u.
G.. Barnard II would seem that neither OF these
gentlemen are entirely confident of success, if com
PEELED to run without company and WITHOUT the ex-
element of State election. The friends OF both
have, therefore, joined in the effort to pass bill
changing the time for electng Controller from De-
cember to November, when the Governor and Mem
bers of Congress are to be elected This bill has
passed quietly through the Assembly, but we think 1t
should not become law without full and careful con-
slerltlOu.
