Practical Cennscation In New York City.
Some Of The papers Of the city are making
considerable fuss over the disposition of twenty
thousand dollars, supposed to have been ex-
pended over some gas job three or four years
ago. This is very small piece of business,
when It is remembered that the taxation Of the
city Of New York was nearly twenty million
dollars last year. that it will probably be great
deal more the present year, and that the Church
street job, and other similar schemes Of plum
der which are just now temp orarily suspended,
In fear of the Constitutional Convention and
the next fall election, will take some additional
millions out of the pockets of the citizens. The
people care nothing one way or the other about
who got a snack in the paltry sum of twenty
thousand dollars. paid by private individuals
for special corporation privilege four years
ago; but they have lively interest in the an
nual expenditure of twenty or thirty millions
Of their money on an inefficient and irresponsi-
BILE government and . set of political commits
sons. Under our present heavy taxation we
are rapidly approaching general conflscation
ofproperty in the city, and Tammany Hall, the
Five Points, Mackerelvile and Corlear's Hook
are all preparing for glorious times. Old Thad
Stevens will find plenty of sympathisers in this
copperhead stronghold; for every Alderman,
Councilman, Supervisor and ring politician in
the city Is a practical advocate Of coniscation

of their new building. This would have been
happy and appropriate time for some more
important reformations in the society than that
of mere change OF location. They might
have properly inaugurated their corner stone
ceremonies with a remuneration of their old
copperhead dogmas and general breaking up
Of all their plundering "rings." But the lengthy
address which they have issued to their friends,
who are invited to join them on the Fourth Of
July, shows that they are still joined to their
idols, and all sensible people will let them
alone. They reafirm their State rights doc
trines, are oblivious of the fact that there has
been rebellion and a war, and denounce the
Congress OF the United States, fresh from the
people, as "unforgiving, intolerant and selfish
political conspira;ors, who have usurped the
executive control Of the government" With
these sentiments as their corner stone" their
society will soon follow their old hall and be
swept from the face Of the earth as useless and
offensive rubbish.

1t is to DO set down a. . characteristic of
the American mind that it is generally pos
sessed, for the time being, with some ruling
mania Sometimes 1t is speculative mania,
and the nation is seen working itself into mad
ness In the race for riches. Sometimes 1t Is q
negro mania, and the nation is seen on its
knees doing homage to the dark-faced sons
and daughters OF Ham. Sometimes II Is . re-
igious mania, and literally the kingdom Of
heaven sufFereih violence, and the violent (who
are everywhere) are taking it by force"

Negroes Rights and Women's Rights
Greeley N Gny Deceiyer.

Greeley a Gay Deceiver.
Greeley has made majority report to the
Consti utional Convention, from the Committee
on the Right of Suffrage, in which he proposes
in the new constitution to bestow the right to
vote and to hold Office upon negroes, Indians,
Chinese and Japanese, but denies that right to
women. Cassidy, another member Of the Con-
vention, and, like Greeley, an editor also,
offers minority report, which favors the SUBJ
mission to the people in November next of
proposition to further extend the elective fran
ohise to colored men, to be voted on separately
from the rest of the constitution. The curious
feature Of these reports ID the cruel abandon
ment Of the women by Greeley. He has been
dallying with them and fondling them for
long time, and now, when he has favorable
chance of making good the promises he has
held out to them, he heartlessly acts the part
Of . gay deceiver and leaves his deluded
victims in the lurch. We believe an action for
breach Of promise would lie against him, in
which all the strong-minded females in the
State could be consolidated as plaintiff, with
good prospect Of heavy damages His deser-
ton of his far partners is most shameful and
inexcusable Cassidy Is much more precise
and consistent than Greeley, in his minority
report True to bis old barnburner
proolivities and his original corner stone,
he goes for extending the elective fran
chise to negroes but out of respect
for his more recent copperhead associ-
tions he proposes to submit the proposition
separately to the people. Well, this il making
both ends meet, and as all parties seem to
agree upon giving Sambo vote, there Is no
need to have any fuss or quarrel over the
matter. But if the negroes of New York, over
twenty one years Of age, are qualified to exer-
else the right Of suffrage, are there not many
thousands of females in the State equally
worthy to be trusted with the BALLOT We do
not ailude to Mrs. Trouope, or Lucy Stone, or
Cady Stanton, or the fascinating Ernestine
Rose, or Mrs. Tinsel or Miss Carmine. or Betsey
Bloomer, or Sally Shipper, or Madame Water
fall, but to the thousands OF educated, intelli-
gent, sterling women Of the State, who as
mothers and sisters exercise wholesome inlu-
ence upon society. Does Greeley consider
that strong buck nigger is more deserving
of vote than Is modest refined, educated
woman!

Our Paris fashion letter will this week be
found more than usually gossipy and enter
tanning. II anticipates the slow publications
which make the fashions their specially, and
gives, besides, all the chit-chat Of the Paris
beassm0nds.. Written in pleasant, lively vein,
these letters are as amusing for the male as
they are useful to the fairer portion of our
readers. The origin Of q new style is often as
curious as its bearings are important As
every age has had its peculiar fashions, so in
our times, wAen people live faster, each social
phase brings with it some revolution Of cos
tune. The visit Of 90 many crowned heads
to the French metropolis has naturally had
and will continue to have marked influence
on the prevailing styles. For some time to
oome we may expect to find . mixture of the
Aaiatac with the Western ideas on these mat
ters; for the French are prompt to catch ct
anything in the shape Of nosalty, andv no
doubt give full Aing TO NE haste which has
latterly been setting in amens them for bar
barie splendor. Our correspondents letters
will be found more than usually interesting,
from the pictures which they give us of the
progress of this new Eastern mania. We have
already had some indications Of 1t in the tight
skirts and tunics Of our American ladies, and
by and by we may expect to see them wearing
the baggy trousers and upturned slippers Of
the Turkish women. As our male readers will
naturally feel some concern about the intro
duction Of Eastern customs among us, We
recommend them to watch attentively the evil
dencss Of the coming revolution, as indicated
in the letters to which we refer.
