A FALL FROM GRACE.-Among the attaches Of
the city few rank higher than the Buzzard. From
the remote ages this uncanny bird has been held
sacred, and awarded degree of reverence second
only to that given the city scavengers. Although
the Buzzard has no place on our coat of arms, it
will occupy position on the scroll of fame second
only to the Ibis Of Egypt, or the Pelican Of Louis
ianna. 1t bears charmed life, and, though not q
pleasant companion, it is seldom interfered with,
for, by some strange freak, while the head of
human being is only valued at 50, that of Buzzard
comm ands the sum Of IS, and woo to the unlucky
wight who is temple to slay the Plutonian bird.
Fortunately, for the peace OF mankind, the Buz-
zard is a melancholy blrd; it keeps aloof, and is
seldom seen but in the neighborhood of the mar
ket and butcher pens, or perched upon some
chimney top, viewing the landscape DER, and
meditating on its last meal. But buzzards are
not Immaculate they are liable to the vices that
beset other bpeds, and one of the fraternity so far
forgot what was due city official as to become in
toxicated. To add to his disgrace, he chose Sum-
day for the unhallowed Decd and Hayne street rs
the arena for his drunken frolcs. Ho went in
with perfect abandon, and evidently mistook
himself for lark. We left while he was vainIv
endeavoring to soar aloft /; but if Buzzards have
feelings lin human beings and the ipebriata
should bs asked to repeat the dose he would
answer like "Poe's Rayep," Neysrmorel

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1867-01-28

The Legislative Committee on Rivers and Har-
bo4s, in their investigation of the abuses of the
Ferry system, will not need to search for facts.
The facts are looking for the Committee, and
are clamorous for attention. Yesterday supplied
another. The Wall-st. Ferry suspended its trips
entirely; no boat left the slips all day. AS the
weather was perfectly clear though cold, and the
river free from ice, there could be no excuse for
this suspension, which took place, as usual with
out any notice to the public. Hundreds of people
left the slip, Disguised but not surprised. The
day being Sunday, when comparatively few per-
sons use this ferry, the company thought it would
save the expense Of coal, and compel the public
to use the other lines it controls. Thus it would
lose few or no fares, merely putting its patrons
to the inconvenience of walking an extra half
mile and losing time, for which, of course, it
cares nothing. For this act, and for many SINH
lar acts, the Union Ferry Company of Brooklyn
deserves to have its charter taken away and we
believe that could be done on the just ground of
a violation of its contract and its obligations TO
the State and the public
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1867-01-28

"Thus bad begins but worse remains behind,
might have been prOphetically quoted when the
House last week went into the buffoOnery bust
ness. The next day Mr.. Cooper called fellow
member liar, and not being censured for this
gross ipdecency, Mr. Hunter, Democratic MEM
Der from Brooklyn, was, on Saturday, en-
cOuraged to repeat the Offense, and accused
Mr.. Ashley of uttering ga base lie"
Mr.. Ashley's remarks, though severe, were
general and without any personal appli-
cation, so that Mr.. Hunters language was
without even the excuse of personal resent
ment Mr. Randall of Pennsylvania pursued
the subject, replying TO the Speakers censure
of this language as out of order, that it was
nevertheless true. After being told that he was
out of order in making this remark, he de-
clared that he was ready to repeat it. We are
not sure that this insOlence to the Speaker and
the House was not greater than that OF Mr..
Hunter; it was certainly as offensive, and the in
suit more deliberate. Mr.. Randall was not
censured, however though we are glad that
the House, by a vote of 81 to "a, censufed Mr..
Hunter, and thus showed a little self-respect.
Mr.. Colfax might properly have cOuched his
rebuke in stronger words as it is we fear that
the mild censure Mr. Hunter received and Mr..
Randall's escape from any punishment, with the
whole disrespectful tone of the debate, prac-
tically amount to the condoning of these out
rageOus Offenses against the common decency
of society and legislation, and an encourage
ment to further insults. There must be an end
of them if the House desires to retain the re-
spect of its constituents
