The pleasures and pomps, the attractions,
recreations and delusions of the watering
places have been brought almost to close, for
the present season at least. terminating under
tho influence Of that wholesome reformatory
natural cause which operated so benefcially i'm
the case of Saint Anthony-cold weather. The
ladies, such Of them as ''scarce 60 anywhere
except TO plays and church and rout and revel,"
have returned in great numbers to town and
resumed their accustomed places In front Of the
pulpits and reading desks, under clerical correc-
ton, for ghostly consolation just as needed or
required. 1t is wholesome movement, and
one which will bear its appropriate reward in
this world or the next, or perhaps in both.
The clergymen are, generally speaking, at
their posts, and Satan will have pretty hard
time of it If he is resolved to retain his present
strong position in the metropolis. AS evil
dence of this we devote several columns Of our
pages this morning to the publication Of
reports of the many excellent sermons which
we're delivered in the churches yesterday,
thus aiding in the great and good work Of
the diffusion of religion with our accustomed
alacrity, and there is nothing apparently to
mar the harmony Of hope and charity except
the approach Of the November elections.

THE FAT BOILERS, THE BUTCHERS AND TIE
BOARD OF HEALTu.-It is said that formid-
able organization, called the Butchers Asso-
citation" threaten to defy the Board of Health
in the matter of abolishing those horrid nui-
sances, fat boiling establishments, now existing
within the limits Of the city. The Butchers
Association means money, and they promise to
spend plenty of 1t in court suing out injunc-
tions against the Board. No doubt they will
get all the injunctions they want and the
lawyers will get al the money, which will be a
very good thing for the lawyers. Meantime,
we hope that these law proceedings will not
stand in the way of the ordinance which COM
pels all these detestable, evil smelling and
sickening establishments to move out above
10th street by the ist Of next month. There
may be people in authority who regard these
fat boiling houses as very healthy and agree
able to the nose, just as certain official once
insisted that the swil milk of stump tailed,
diseased COWS was most nutritious; but the
public olfactories suggest a different opinion.
It is desirable, therefore, that the Board of
Health should be sustained in their effort to
have the nuisance removed.
The New York herald., 1869-09-20

ANOTHER CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY
The most difficult Of all knowledge is evidently
to know "who's who." Here in Broadway
the other day the wrong man was shot, and
now the wrong woman has been buried.
Before this the wrong man has been hanged,
too, and transported and kept in prison for a
lifetime. In the iniuite variety of Nature she
does sometimes 60 so near to our exact ply
sical duplicate that common inspection cannot
detect the difference. So the daughters of Mrs.
McCaffrey now believe, having incurred debt
of two hundred dollars to bury woman they
supposed to be their mother, with the mother
alive and we'll.
The New York herald., 1869-09-20

THE INCOME TAx.-The Treasury returns
show the probability that for the current fiscal
year there will be surplus Of one hundred
millions. With taxes as they are the govern
ment collects one hundred million more than it
spends, and when economy has been applied
to its full possibility it may spend fifty million
less than it now does, adding that sum to the ex-
cess of income. AT the same time we hear Of a
disposition to enforce more stringently the col
lection of the tax on incomes. Certainly, while
the taxstands, justice to those who pay requires
its full application TO all properly subject to it's
provisions. But the excess above stated
shows that it will be quite safe to abolish this
tax altogether, and as It is one peculiarly
odious to free people, from the very nature of
Its imposition, we trust that Congress will be
moved to relieve the nation Of this now unne-
cessary burden. This tax Is not only odious
to the people, burdensome and superAuous,
but 1t is also pre-eminently demoralizing, and
exposes common humanity to temptations too
great for resistance. For all reasons the law
upon which it is based should be repealed.

CASTLE GARDEN-PRoTRcrioN TO Emil
GRANTS. Tho Commissioners Of Emigration
have adopted and promulgated budget of
regulations intended to secure protection for
emigrants at Castle Garden. II would appear
from the tenor of these regulations" that the
employees of the Garden have not been very
effective in the performance of their duties.
For instance, intoxication and disobedlence
Of orders, neglect of duty and absence from
ones post are set down as causes for dismissal
in future. Courtesy and kindness to emigrants
are also enjoned, as we'll as respect to visitors.
One might have thought that with the long
experience Of the Commissioners all these
drsirable points would have been covered up

BIC INDIAN SEE Much FlLIBUsTER. That Is
magnificent ilibuster story which comes to
us all the way from Boston by the assistance
of a reliable gentleman from Martha's Vine
yard and party of "Gay Head" Indians in a
boat. Indians aforesaid went out to sea and
boarded a big ship, "fratcrnizing" with a
steward, who was perhaps very nearly their
color, and the brandy was doubtless not Of the
worst. Result-The ship Is an iron-clad and
carries eighteen steel cannon and three
hundred men TO help the Cubans. This Ia
very badly invented.

MAKING THE MosT OF WHAT THEY HAVE
They are troubled in the New Dominion with
the scarcity of white men and the vanishing
quality of those they have, but fortunately
they have got some Indians Of the noble race
of Iroquois--may be not 80 noble now as they
were once. They propose to move these, not
suddenly to get them out of the way, but to
realize their presence more fully, for they
intend to put them up on the Ottawa as near to
the capital, no doubt, as they can get them.

SPECIE PAYMENT.--Mr. Spinner, of the
Treasury Department, apparently believes in a
sort of Cerberus of resumption with three
heads-the government, the banks and the
people. He believes that the three "would be
proof against any pressure in the difficulties
of great financial crisis. But this only
occurs in q letter, given elsewhere, which he
has evidently penned to get rid Of an editorial
bore who has written tremendous article on
resumption and wants Spinner to read it.

republics of America in defiance of the cher
ished American policy proclaimed by the Mon
roe doctrine at the time when our hands were
tied by gigantic civil war; but we are too
magnarjmous to raise this question for the
purpose of retaliation. We wish to remain on
friendly terms with Spain; but we cannot sup
port her any longer in cruel and hopeless
war upon Cuba.
Whatever course the Spanish government
may take, the time is near at hand when the
United States will recognize the Cubans as
belligerents or Independent. That, we have
no doubt is the determined policy of the
administration, as it is certainly the wish Of
the people. This subject will come up
probably in Cabinet council soon after
General Grant and his Secretaries return to
Washington the present week, and we may
expect to hear something more decisive. The
President is not man to back down. Send
ing Of more Spanish war vessels and troops to
Cuba, or the warlike tone of the Madrid press,
or Prim's interviews with Napoleon, or Napo-
Icons dispatches to his Minister in Washing
ton, will not turn him aside from his purpose.
Nor will the people of this great country give
up their policy or the object they have in
view at the threat of war, But there
will be no war. The administration
has only to be firm, and the Spanish
government and people will come to their
senses. The present excitement in Spain is
simply little storm, which has been raised
probably for political effect, but which will
pass away and leave the horizon clear for
settlement of the Cuban difficulty.

long ago. The necessity Cor issuing these reg
ulations at this late day would seem to imply
that matters at Castle Garden were rather
loosely managed heretofore. However, better
late than never. If employees have been getting
intoxicated, disobeying the orders of the super
intendent absenting themselves from duty, i'll
treating the emigrants and acting discour-
teousy to such visitors as have legitimate
business on the premises, it is well that the
Commissioners have taken measures to reform
these abuses

ACCOUNTED FoR.-It has been long puzzle
to this community how it could possibly be
that so many men consigned to the retirement
of Sing Sing return to their special haunts

months, when it was supposed they had been
made safe for years. Sipce we find our ami
able authorities had given the pardoning
power to convict the facts are no longer
incomprehensible.
