Moro Papers.
The growth Of newspapers In New York is
something wonderful. There are already about
dozen morning journals and we know not
how many evening journals. One would sup
pose that the public nav is overglutted with
newspapers, yet The cry is "Still they come"

of the Pail Mall Gazette. 1t is, Of course, to be
highly Literary in its tone, according to the
model. Mr.. Youny, having recently visited

forward to grand eclipse Of the Albion, and

The BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HELPING THEM
sELvEs-At the last meeting of tho Board OF
Supervisors the principal business which occu-
pied the attention of the worthy dispensers Of
the public money was increasing salaries and
creating new Offices. One would have thought
that the burden Of taxation under which the
unhappy taxpayers of this city groan had
already reached limit large enough to satisfy
the rapacity OF the most insatiatc municipal
harpy; but as long as political friends and
supporters are to be rewarded, and the metro
politan goose is to be plucked with impunity,
we must not expect for moment that the idea
OF retrenchment will enter the minds Of those
who control the city treasury. Yet we may
come to the "last feather that breaks the
camel's back" and the mountain of debt under
which the poor, patient metropolis trudges
along may yet overwhelm The parties who are
busily engaged in heapng it on. There is a
limit to all human forbearance, no matter how
far it may be capable Of being stretched, and
the worthy Board Of Supervisors may find their
system Of expansion perilous in the extreme
when the unavoidable crash comes.
DISTURBANCES AT THE SOUTHERN CONVENTIONS
Almost every piece of intelligence we receive
from the conventions being held in the Southern
cities conveys some story Of turbulence and
brute violence. The last affair Of this kind
occurred in Tallahassee Fla, the day before
yesterday. A disturbance took place in the
Convention, q mere conflict OF words but IL
was settled after the adjournment by physical
force demonstration out Of doors among the
negro delegates, in which one man was shot
| and good number were arrested by the police.

remarked, however, that the conflict in most Of
these cases Is not between the whites and
blacks, but between the unfortunate negroes
themselves, deludei and elated as they are by
