OUR DIRTY STREETS.

We are rs much in favor of clean streets as
any one, but we are not of those who are strlv-
ing to hound down a respectable and worthy
citizen because he does not accomplish impOsSi-
bilities. The greater portion of the press of
this city seems disposed to put the blame of
the impassable condition in which our streets
now are, upon the shoulders of Judge Whiting,
as if it were through his influence that the
City has been visited with one of the heaviest
falls of snow of the century. We say that it is
an utter impossibility to sweep our streets while
they are covered with so many feet of snow.
We are anxious that Judge Whiting should be
held up to the terms of his contract, and from
what we know of his character, he is not one who
desires TO shilk any responsibility he has as
sumed. As regards the contract itself, We must
recollcct that it was made in the interest of the
Ring and required the lowest grade of service
to be performed for the highest price. 1t was
evident, from the manner in which tho former
contractors were grossly neglecting their work.
that something must be DONE unless our people
wished the City to become sink of filth aud
disease And in this critical juncture of affairs,
when every one else held alo0f from inter
fering in the natter Judge Whiting stepped
nobly forward, and, after being obliged to pay
some S2jO,O00 as a bonus for the contract took
the responsibility of executing it, with this adj
ditional burden upon it, Immediately after his
assuming the work, he notified the Board of
Health that he was willing to clean the plague
spots of the city independent of the contract, and
lie fulfilled his promise and has kept to it ever
since. 1t cannot be expected that Judge Whit
ing can afford, after paying so large n bonus to
get possession of the contract to perform con-
stantly three times the work required by its
terms We know very well that it is not in the
interest of clean streets that some few are max
ing so loud an outcry about alleged dirty streets
but because they hope thus to again get hold of
q contract, whereby, while doing nothing, they
managed to make 80 much money. We trust
no sensible man viii allow the mountains OF
snow that now lie in our streets to make him
forget thatypreviously TO the late heavy snow
storm Judge Whiting had kept our streets
cleaner than they had been kept before by any
other contractor.
At n proper time we shall offer the Judge
some advice, which cannot be worth less than
it will cost him. AS yet no has not begun at

,SHTP-BVUDING.

Mr.. William II. Webb, ship-builder, has
been writing and printing his replies to tho
question, "What has caused the great falling
"off in American ship-buildingR' His answer,
condensed, is 1. Increase in the cost of Labor
rs per cent g. Increase in the cost of mate
riils-5O to GO per cent; g. High tariff on im-
ports 4. American boys will not be appren-
ticed to trades preferring to be counter
jumpers, or something else that will enabla
them to live without bona tide work. (The two
latter reasons are seen to be amplificatiOns OF
the two fOmer)
1t strikes us that this is the first question-Is
the falling off in ship-building peculiar TO this
country We think not. Quebec shares it;
and there none of the reasons above given
have any cogency. Six years ago, we produced
five million bales of Cotton; last year, scarcely
two millions Who must be told that we need
fewer sea-going vessels in consequence of this
vast falling off? Whenever we have as much
to sell as we once had, and will sell it on
terms that will enable other nations to buy 10
of us. we shall doubtless need more ships
wherein to export it and then we shall build
them, tariff or 10 tariff.

section provides that no tax shall be as
sessed upon the Bridge so long as the
stockholders do not receive moro than six per
cent per annum IN i7i;c15 Tc. their stock
AS the third section has provided that the
Directors may at pleasure increase the capltal
stock, the youngest boy in brokers' once
can see how simple will be the method by
which the stock will be so watered that the
dividends may be kept within non-taxable
limits
If the Legislature is to submit to the dicta-
ton of the Ferry Company in this Bridge mat
ter, we have substitute to offer which en-
braces all the points of this bill, and is vastly
simpler Thus:

Protection from these present and threatened
evils is not to be expected from the New-Jersey
Legislature; yet if it yields now to the railroad
masters of the State, it will transfer to the
Republicans that odium which hitherto has
belongedtothe Democrats. The only hope of the
travelling and business community is in Congress.
All that we have said in past years of the ne

TIE unR0KEN EERRIES.

The people of New-JeTsey, having suttere4
beyond the bounds of patience, are petitioning
the Legislature to enact laws that VIII secure
the safety, comfort, and convenience OF passen-
gers using the ferries, and compel each ferry
company to keep and use, during the winter
at least, one boat fully provided for speedy
massage through the ice. They ask especial
attention to the condition of the Hoboken
ferries and that Legislative Committee be APP
pointed to visit Hoboken this Winter and take
testimony from passengers and dIslnterested
engineers. The Legislature owes gracious
answer to this very modest request. If the peo-
pie of New-Jersey had asked that Mr. stevens
who appears to own all HObOkcn, and who
certainly has a monopoly Of its entire river 'front.'
should be required to idemnify them for tn
injuries they claim his ferries have inflicted.
they would not have asked particle too much.
The Hoboken boats are even worse than those
of the Union Company of Brooklyn; OF late.
after 7.3O n. m. the boats are run but twice an
hour; they frequently start in advance OF the
time fixed; they are wretchedly lighted with
OIL and the waiting rooms are only q little
better than the pens at the Brooklyn ferries;
the bridges are unsafe; wagons are allowed to
leave the boats while the passengers are dis
embarking, many Of whom avoid accidents
only by agility there is no police system
worthy of the name; time is lost, travel res
tricted, and, as the petitioners correctly aver,
the very progress of the State is impeded by
the want of good ferries. The Morris and
Essex RAILROAD, terminating at Hoboken, has
greatly added to the ferry travel, and, indeed,
it may be said that every New-York ferry IS
rapidly getting worse in proportion as the
needs of the public increase.
| This week, we believe, the Committee APP
pointed by our Legislature will visit this city.
| We cannot be certain that it will succeed In ex-
aiming the ferries on the HObOken and Brook
lyn Sides because it is possible that the ice will
prevent the boats from crossing. We should bs
| clad if the Legislature Of NewJersey would re-
ply favorably, and Immediately, to this petition,
for consultation of the two Committees might
result in uniformity of the laws for the regula-
! ton of the ferries. Yet, as little cold weather
might prevent the meeting of the Committees
we suggest that the best method of investlga-
ton would be for the New-YOrk Committee to
divide, and that one portion should take board
| ing in Brooklyn for week, and the other ID
Hoboken. If the New -Jersey Committee wishes
| to understand the system, let it make its TEN.
porary home in York, and cross, or at.
tempt TO cross, the river daily. One week OF
personal experience would put the Committees
| in possession of more proofs of mismanagemem
| than we could print in month. In such an ex.
pertinent the only danger would be that both
Committees would depart in disgust to theI
Legislatures before the week had ended.

The Senate Tariff bill was on Saturday re-
ferred by the House to the Committee on
WAYS and Means. We trust the House will
take up the bill at once, and, wasting no time
in making it better or worse, pass it. AT it stands,
it is q vast improvement on the present Tariff
and we would rather have it become law than
risk its loss by delay Three weeks debate
and if the House begins to debate it we may
expect that delay-will bring its passage 30
near the end of the session that there could bo
no hope of its overcoming a veto. Through two
sessions this Tariff has fought its way, and the
House should not now repeat the mistake OF
the Senate last year.

The acts of Congress revOking the Amnesty
power of the President, and regulating the
elective franchise in the Territories, have been
officially published-a speedy answer to the
demand of Congress that the Secretary of State
should inform it into what pigeon-hole or
waste-paper basket the laws of the United
States had been thrown. Tho publication
of these acts twill not however, entitle Mr.. Seward
to reply TO the inquiry of the House, merely that
they hare been published. He is bound to show

Our Havana letter gives an interesting account
of the meeting of the Council of Ministers to
which was referred by Macmillan the question
of his abdication. The majority declared against
abdication; but among those who were in favor
of it were Marshal Bazaine and the Archbishop
of Mexico. The latter, with number of other
prominent adherents of the Empire, has left
the capital, anticipating its early fall into the
hands of the Liberals, who were advancing on
it from all sides. Beside PorfiriO Diaz.
General Alvarez is now mentioned among those
who are aspiring to the honor of capturing the
