" Why Do You Not Give Us More County
eWs7'

''Why do you not give US more county news 2'
said subscriber and friend to us the other day
The reason we gave him was, that much of it
comes TO us after it is too old to publish, and
much of it never comes at all. If our readers
would be kind enough to let us hear from them,
when occurrences worthy Of note take place in
their neighborhood, we would not only publish
them, but VIC would feel under some obligations
for the favor, and would endeavor, in some
measure, to repay them, by making the 4EgiS g.
Aatelligencer that much more interesting We
have subscribers and readers at every point in
the county, and il some one of them in each
neighborhood would notify us occasionally of
passing events, We could then give more county
news" All we want is The fact of the happen
ing Of an accident, or any other item of news,
how nnd when il occurred, the result of it, &c.
This any one can write. Now, who will do it,
of couny news, while they are fresh and will
bear repeating, but We do not like stale news.
We are very much like Western contemporary,
who objected to publishing marriage alter the
honeymoon a birth after the child was weaned,
or a death after the widow was married again

LIE pp0cESSLON NrLSINCE.


The disqaceful and bloody scenes in Grand
st. on Monday when over twenty policemen
were brutaly beaten, stabbed, kicked, cut, and
pounded by party of riotous lrlshmen who
were obstructng the public thorOughfares III
honor Of st. Patrick, are forclble reminder oil
an abuse which has long cried out for remedy
We have no objection to our Irish fellow
citizens, OF to any other class OF men, celebIa-
ting their national anniversaries with as much
parade as they may see proper, provided they
do so without detrmcnt TO the pubic c0nve-
nience. But no society or organization has
right to monopolize the streets under any en-
cumstances: 10 procession has any business to
interrupt travel, even for moment; ana IL
fine Ancient Order of IIibenians, or the
Friendly Sons of ST. Patrick, or the Sons OF
Temperance, or the Target Companies, or the
National Guard, are permitted now and then
10 have Broadway and the principal
avenues TO themselves for few hours, they
ought to remember that this is II privilege to
which they have no right they owe it merely
to the complaisance of the authorities and the
tacit consent of the public. Look at the brutal
affair on Monday. A truck-driver attempted
TO pass through street where society was
forming for parade the members ordered nm
off (Which they had no authority to do, and
because he could not get away quick enough
they fell upon him in fury, fell upon the
police who came TO his rescue, turned their
slaves into clubs, cut and sashed, and
stabbed right and left, with swords
and spears, and were only driven
OF at last after fierce DOnnybrOok row, leay
ing number of policemen bleeding on the
ground several of them, it is feared, mortally
wounded One might have supposed that the
Ancient Order of llbernians enjoyed exclusive
ownership of GrandSt, and that nobody had
a right of way through their premises. Then
again. while the procession was moving, cars
and omnibuses were brought to a stand, to the
untold inconvenience of many thousands OF
passengers, and the great stream of travel up
and down the length of the island-chOked and
obstructed badly enough, heaven knows at the
best of times-was entirely checked.
We respectfully suggest to our Police Com
missioners that they ought to mature, promul-
gate, and enforce proper regulations touching
the use of our streets by Professions. The
notion that ten thousand men. more or less,
have a right to mOnOpolize for hours the best
streets in our City and forbid others to cross
them, is a monstrous error. They have just as
much right as so many citizens who are not in
procession-nether less nor more. A pro-
cession should be required to form in
sections of not more than half a mile each;
and, one section having passed any point where
people are waiting to cross their route, all
who are present should be allowed to get over
before the Police should again clear the street
and allow the next division to traverse ii. Let
us have this matter set right before our City
is scandalzed by another affmy like that of
Monday.

The leases of the Staten Island and Pavonia
Ferries were sold yesterday at auction, the
former being knocked down" to the present
owners for $1,000 per annum for ten years, and
the second to the New York and Erie Railroad
Company for $50 per annum. The lease of the
Staten Island Ferry should be worth to the city
at least $4,000 yearly, but the matter is so fixed
that the VandeIbilts, who own it, are secured
from any competition The result of the arrange
ment is that the city loses the power to sell in
open market its privileges to the best advant-
age, and that the public must continue to
endure the wretched irregular Staten Island
ferriage till the Legislature interferes for its
protection.

cognize as those of men incapable OF such
fraud as is suggested. But we do share more
general apprehension that neither OF the Under
ground Roads will be pressed so energetically
or completed so promptly as the public needs
imperatiycly demand We desire to call the
attention of the Legislature 10 this point,
hoping that the acts as passed may require all
practicable CELEBRITY in the prosecution OF the
work and that the bills may be perfected so early
as may be, with express reference to this end.
Legislators should consider that this Is sea-
son at which buildings are leased for or
adapted to the contemplated uses OF the year
commencing with May ensuing, and that lew
days lost now may involve the loss OF months
in getting possession of the ground. DO not
give the projectors Of the Metropolitan Transit
Company an excuse for losing year in getting
ready to construct their road.
