hear from HIM next I'm an insane retreat
The testimony of scores of our most upright
and honored merchants who knew Mr.. X. well
and are acquainted with all the facts. cOrrobo-
rates these statements; and the conduct of Mr..
X, in remaining in the city, keeping quanti-
ties of the forged paper about him, and going
about the streets when he knew the officers
were seeking him, is inecOncilable with any
presumption of his sanity.
Mr.. Ketchum, when arrested, insisted on
pleading guilty. Those he had wrOnged would
not appear against him; the only evidence OF
his guilt was found at his lodging; and not
only was his own property readily handed over
to make good the losses by his acts, but the
large fortune of his father was also freely de-
voted to that end. From the hour Of his
arrest, the son has dono his utmost to atone
for the injury which he had caused. In
view of all the facts, therefore, we deprecate
his further Incarceration as required neither by
Justice nor by an enlightened regard FOR the
public well-beng.

THE STREETS.

The Senate Committee on the dirty streets
of New-Yorli have closed their investigations
and are now preparing their report. The eVl-
dence they have elected disclOses no reason
why the thoroughfarcs must necessarily be IN
their present awful condition, and certainly
does not raise our opinion of the faithfulness
of the Street Contractor. The principal efforts
of this gentleman and his friends before the
Committee have been directed to proving, hrst,
that the streets are not dirty; secondly that
they are cleaner than they used to be and
thirdly, that, if they are dirty, 1t Is because
the city does not pay enough to keep them
clean. But in point of fact, Judge Whiting
has no defense to make. The contract stares
him in the face its violation is patent TO
everybody He can only rest upon the asser-
ton that he has no wish TO make money; that
he undertook the work solely for the purpose
of serving his fellow-m that he means to
give it up by-and-by, and that anybody who
complains of dirt in the street must be a con-
stitutional grumblcr who would,not be satisfied
even in the Garden Of Eden. Yet, strange to
say, Inc refuses to show his books for fear OF
illegal proceedings in other mattors.' Nhlc
he virtually confesses that for SiSo,0OO year
he cannot keep the rOadways free from hlth'

Gently passablc and the cross-walks swept we

What practical remedy the Committee VIII

it will hardly he Mr.. Writings plan of flooding
the city periodically from rain-water reservoirs
as if il were an Augcan stable. In the mean
while there is one thing which may be done
with a great deal of advantage. Let the con-
tractors money be withheld until he has earned
it. No work. no pay, is a good motto in all
matters of business, and there could not he

We see it stated that the Camden and Amboy
Railroad Company has purchased the Raritan
and Delaware Bay Railroad We cannot real
ize that the public is to be congratulated Oh
this transfer. The latter road afforded some
mitigation of the crushing monopoly so long
enjoyed by the Camden and AmbOy. That
monopoly is on the point of expiring, and the
people of South Jersey have strongly pctitioned
their Legislature for liberty to build a railroad
from Camden to Manchester on the Raritan and
Delaware road thus opening new line OF
transit between this city and Philadelphia. 1t
is plain that the Democratic managers of New
jersey dare not renew the AmbOy monopoly,
on the eve of Presidential contest But, If
the Monopoly have bought out the Raritan road,
they can checkmate the proposed Camden and
Manchester connection; and no one is likely
to build that road if they are doomed to run
their trains over branch of the Camden and
Amboy. Never, till Congress shall conc to tho

The grievances Of Ireland continue to be the
subject of an animated and interesting debate
in the English House of Commons. Great
speeches were made by Mr. Gladstone and Mr.
Disraeli. Mr.. GladstOne's speech seems to md
cate that the Liberal party will be unit III
demanding the introduction of thorough poht-

The charges which Gen. Logan has brought
a gainst the Treasury Department ought to
have, we think a much more careful investi-
CATION than the House of Representatives has
shown itself willing to give them. We do not
believe that the enormous frauds which he
suspects have really been committed; but there
Is good reason 10 fear that such frauds might
be committed with comparative ease. 1t Is
grossly irregular, monstrous system OF mis-
management which allows any man the oppor-
tunity Of such unlimited peculatioD as seems to
be afforded Mr.. $. NJ. Clark, the head OF the
Printing Bureau in the Treasury Department.
When the safety Of millions of money is con-
corncd, the regulations Of the Department
ought to be based upon the assumption that
no official is strong enough to withstand
temptation. We do not question Mr. Clark $
honesty; but we have no business to depend
upon it, The Committee of Investigation ap-
pointed by the House have reported that there
is no evidence of fraud. Now let them be
sent back to inquire whether the regulations
of the Department do not offer special con-
veniences for fraud, and what reform should
be made in them.

Thus you have your answer; now print it I!

The Court of Special Sessions is, we believe,
the only self-sustaining Court in this city.
Probably this is why our Democratic Assembly
has passed bill providing that this Court
shall be split in eight pieces-in other words,
shall be held by any and all City Police JUS
tices. Are more fat offices wantedf The bill pro-
vides them. First we have new gang OF steno-
glaphers at salaries of $500 or $4,000 year,
q third of which goes into the pockets of Dem
ocrato wire-pullers; then the Police Justices
will demand extra pay for the extra work
and next we shall have an additional force OF
clerks and messengers, or a demand for In
creased salaries on the part of those already
employed. If the bill passes the Senate, the
city may congratulate itself if it gets of with
less than 100000 additional yearly expenses.
The proposal empowers each Police Justice to
adjudicate upon all cases coming before him.
Not the least of its evils will be the creation
of partisanism, and the melting out of justice
according to the will of party leaders We
have enough of that already. And now we
call upon the Senate, on behalf OF our over
laden taxpayers, TO check this new movement
for the feeding of hungry Democrats.
