CORPORATION ADVERTISING AND PRrNrrNo.-
Mr.. Owen Murphy, who seems TO be earnest in
his advocacy Of city reform, has introduced
resolution into the Assembly calling for nfor-
nation as to the amount paid to different
papers in this city for advertising for the Com
mon Council and city departments during the
years 1865 and 1866. This Is q very proper
resolution, and the city will owe Its thanks TO
Mr.. Murphy IL the investigation shall be
thoroughly made and the abuse hereafter cor
rectod. A little sheet, Of which no person ever
hears, except when such job a. Mr. Murphy
desires to expose is brought mp, and which
prints hundred or two copies, had bill Of
some forty thousand dollars against the city
for advertising for the Common Council alone
for six months Of last year. This ID only
small portion Of the leakage. The printing Is
paid for three or four times over-oncc when
published as proceedings, again when FUR
nished in slips, and again in the shape Of
"reports" Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
have been squandered In this way by the city
"rings' Let the matter be properly investi-
gated and the developments will astonish

City Reform Patchwork.

Some OF our Albany representatives either
have very Indifferent conception of the real
wants Of the city Of New York or must be
anxious to grind their own axes while -sdsct-
ing to favor measures of reform. II is noto-
riods that very gross abuses exist in the pre-
sent management Of our piers and wharves.
They have been suffered 10 fall into decay
until some of them are actually useless ruins,
while others are in such dilapidated condi-
to the commerce Of the port Intrinsically
the most valuable property in the State, they
have yielded no revenue TO the city and have
served 10 cripple instead of to increase her
trade. II is easy to understand the cause of
these evils The rates Of wharfage have been
insufficient especially under the increased
prices Of labor and material, to afford enough
revenue to keep the docks in repair. The
leases, like all other property belonging to
the city, have been turned into jobs. The
lessecs bave made all the money they could
and have suffered the docks to decay. The
city has not had funds wherewith TO put them
in repair. having failed to secure any reve-
nue. from them. The remedy is as plain as the
cause of The evils. The piers and wharves
should he taken out of tho hands Of the city
''rings," and placed under the control of
Board of Public Works. The docks should
be put in thorough repair at as economical
an outlay as possible. They should then be
the largest revenue possible 10 the city,
and the rates of wharfage should be
fixed at an amount sufficient to pay fair
profit and no more These reforms could very
easily be made and would be benefit to
the city az well as TO commerce. But In their
place ono member introduces bill squinting
at The interests Of q company Of spectators
who desire to secure monopoly OF the docks,
10 lax commerce with heavy warehouse fees
and to PIT into their own pockets the income
which should go into the city treasury and re-
lievc tho overburdened taxpayers. Another
member. who halls from Brooklyn, instead of
endeavoring to raise the means to repair the
docks and TO provide for the interests of the
city in their management, comes forward with
an impudent proposition to add to the present
cmbarrassments and losses by increasing the
already large fees and incomes of the Captain
of the Port and Harbor Masters to an amount
that would impose . tax Of many additional
thousands Of dollars year upon commerce.
The same member and others also introduce
batch of bills seeking to set aside number of
piers and wharvcs exclusively for particular
interests.
Will not some plain. practical, honest man,
if one can be found at Albany, who has no
party friends to favor and no personal interest
10 subserve. take compassion on the city Of
New York and propose bill such as we have
suggested in relation TO our piers and wnarvess
The city has suffered enough from the jobs OF
her own 'rings," without now being made the
prey Of "rings" in Albany. We need thorough
and sound reform; but such patchwork, selfish
legislation ~ seems now TO be threatened
will make our condition worse than 1t is at
present

CrY RAuRoADs.-During the prevalence Of
the late snow storm our city railroads have
necessarily been working under some difficult
tics. But there Ii very general complaint
that they have not used proper energy in sur
mounting these difficulties and affording the
best accommodations to the public possible
under the circumstances. Some lines discon-
tinued running cars altogether Others hesi-
tated 70 incur the expense Of clearing their
tracks, and others only kept an insufficient
number Of cars going This was in weather
which rendered walking almost impossible and
whoa railroad accommodation was needed
more than ever. All this shows the necessity
Of building railroads over or through the
houses along the backs Of the blocks or
through their centres. With such roads the
difficulties and annoysnoes TO which our citi-
gems have recently been put would be alto
gether avoided.

The mails received yesterday by the South
America, from Rio Janeiro and the Brazilian
coast, contain news of interest There had
been no fighting of any extent in Paraguay.
but the war movements in Brazil were con-
tinued actively. Troops were being raised by
drail in the provinces. a force had been de-
spatched to the Paraguay river and FIVE
struction. The news is Of course in the interest
Of the allies ii IL stated that an instruction
had occurred in Paraguay which threatened
trouble, and thai force had been despatched
to the northwestern border TO guard against
aggressions from Peru.
The Brazilian papers make the most Of the
decree opening the Amazon river and lis
tributaries, and the San Francisco. to the ship
ping of all nations, and take the occasion to
proclaim that the present war is waged only
for the purpose Of compelling the like opening
OF the Paraguay river and its tributaries to
free navigation. To this end they claim it ia
necessary that Fortress Humaits, on the left
bank Of the Paraguay, where the principal
lighting has been going on, shall be destroyed
This is affirmed to be the object Of the war,
and the question of the disputed territory
known as the Gran Chaco, and taking in the
right bank of the Paraguay river nearly to the
northern limit Of Paraguay, is ignored. The
present effort of Brazil is evidently to enlist
the sympathy Of Europe and the United States
on behalf of the allies.
