not only in stretching away for squares blocks of
new buildings, but also in tearing down business
edihces from sites already comparatively improved,
and erecting in their stead structures handsome

been carefully noted, and now again the grateful

mainder of the day. Towards evening physician
was called IN, who, on making an examination, found
a dangerous wound on the back of the head, which

We cannot reckon the shape in which the bill
for submitting the new Constitution passed
yesterday as the best it could have been made
TO assume We ought, at any rate, to have
had the opportunity to vote for the Consti-
tuition as a whole, without being forced
to make out four ballots, instead of the
single "For the New Constituencies" which
a majority, as we trust, of the voters
would desire. But it is at least gratifying to
know that the long delays in this matter are at
last to be ended, and that, at the election next
Fall, the Constitution is to be submitted. There
are to be four ballot-boxes one for votes on
the Suffrage clause, one on Taxation. one on
the judiciary, and the fourth for votes on tho
rest of the instrument.

~ ANcIENr BIRD.

The are Old Birds and Young Birds in what
is absurdly called "Thc Democratic Party
and among the most ancient of the former, at
whatever figure his age may be set down in
the Family Bible, we must surely reckon Mr..
james ID. w. Wall to be. II is an alphabetical
name. II is suggestive of Mr.. j. B. w. WIS
capacity for arranging, disposlng, conjoining,
segregating, and otherwise manipulating the
fye-and-twenty letters of our blessed English
alphabet without achieving q single word of
sense, and yet with every appearance of the
deepest sagaeity! The Hon. j. b. W. w. was
invited to leave his literary retreat at Bur
lingtOn, to join "Messrs. j. Leyeck, Hermann,
"and Guntzcr, at Kuster's Central Hall, in
" this city, in celebration of Jefierson's birth
" day IA very flattering invitation! For it is
not every man who is asked to make merry
with q trio of other men named respectively
Leveck, Hermann, and Guntzer-three names
suggestive of millions Of gallons of lager and
Rhinc-wi If Mr.. James had come, he may
rest assured that he would have had good time
But he sent his regrets and really more
regretting letter than his we do not remember
to have read. That is why we notice it.
When man with four initial letters
to his name, so provocative Of reverence Qike
Tiberius Caius- Caesar Gracchus), thinks that
the country is going TO the deuce, rs James b.
w. Wall thinks, it becomes us to bestir our
selves, and not to go to the deuce without n
mild but determined protest We wish that
Mr. Wall had been little more particular,
because if we are going to the deuce it would
be pathctically pleasant, and q kind of allevia-
ton, to know to what special deuce we are
going. Now, as sentinels in some sort over
tho public welfare, we have inspected Mr..
james b. w. Wallis Epistle to Messrs. Leveck,
Hermann, and Guntzer with view to hitting
upon the most imminent casualty to the Com
noUwealth, and with the pliilanthropic idea of
communicating it 0hough cautiously to the
endangered population of the United States of
America. But we can't find it, James b. WV.
tells us these are degenerate days"-yet we
have heard something like that for great
many years. James B. w. w. hints that we
have departed from tho safe anchorage
"where we foated at the commencement Of
"this century"-yet we have heard some
thing like that before. j. b. w. w. Is hard
upon "the centralizing tendency of the
Federal Government but we have heard
something like that before. j. b. ct al. talks
of tho Despotsm at Washington" but we
have heard something like that before. AVAIL

care leading us to n revolution" but we have
heard something like that before. "Unless

We think it quite appropriate, after this
frightful intimaton, TO commence an entirely
now paragraph, and to put TO tho esteemed
Wall Il few onestions. Does no propose

THE PALLADIUM OF OUR RIGHTS.

In the Autumn of last year, gigantic po-
litical crime was cOnsummated in this City and
its suburbs. Its projectors were active and
leading Democratic politicians who mainly hold
offices under our City Government its purpose
was the defeat of the popular will through the
manufacture and polling of fraudulent votes !;
its result was the robbery of Gen. Grant of
the Electoral Votes of this State and
probably of New-Jersey also; its benefciaries
now hold high places at Albany, and are
called Governor, Lieutenant Governor, &c.
From Fifty Thousand to Eighty Thousand
fraudulent Certificates of Naturalization were
issued; beside which. at least Thirty Thousand
votes were cast here by less than FIVE Thou
sand persons some Of whom were, while Others
were not, legal voters The vast criminal pop
ulation of our City-ninety nine hundredths of
it in active sympathy with the Democratic
party-was made TO perpetratc new crimes in
order to escape the penalty of those for which
they already stood indicted. Votes were polled
by men who registered from the houses OF
Democratic Senators, Supervisors, Aldermen,
&c. none of whom sought to expose the fraud
or prevent its contamination. These facts have
been developed by Select Committee of the
House of Representatives, appointed on the
petition of the Union League of this City, so
that there can be no doubt affected of their
existence save by the confederates in crime.
Our present Legislature convened nearly four
months ago. 1t has very nearly completed its
constitutional term. Its members were fresh
from the people, the frauds were notorious;
and majority in either House were chosen as
Republicans The machinery whereby these
frauds were effected is still in existence; it not
only can but inevitably will be employed again
and again unless legal obstacles shall be inter-
posed. Nay thousands of the fraudulent Ger
tificates were distributed to aliens who, know
ing that they had no right to Naturalization,
declined to register or vote thereon. These
papers will have attained comparative anti
putty by next Fall; if no penalty follows the
use of such, thousands more of them will be
voted on at the next contested election. They
constitute perpetual danger. nseinot which
the legal voters had right to expect prompt,
efficient protection.
Yet up to this hour no bill has been passed
which even processes or proposes to afford such
protection. Nay: the simple matter of punish
ing as the felony it is the miscounting of votes
legally cast-a crime by which we lost several
members of the present Assembly-a crime
certain to increase so long as it shall be ac-
corded legal impunity--has not been provided
for The Senate has passed a bill for this pur-
pose: the Assembly has business which seems
more important or more attractive to major
ity of its members. The matter has been neg
lected until Hoffman can nullify either meas
ure without taking the responsibility of posi-
tive veto. ..... ft-, 10 ...i O.. e- ,

A band of Spartan women, led by PROBES
sor-of Woman's Rights, we suppOse-appeared
at the Registry yesterday, in Washington, and
called upon the Registrars to enroll their names
on the list of voters. While the puzzled
officials are considering the case, we
hope next to hear of these public
spirited women calling upon the Road-Super-
visors there to set them down for duty on the
highways, the Court officials to give them
chance at the Jury Box, and the military
authorities to enroll them in the militia, and
call them out for the annual musters. While
they are at it, they may as well assume all
the dates of citizenship.

That article of the new Spanish Constitution
which provides for the establishment of uni
versal suffrage, has been almost unanimously
adopted. Only fourteen members-represent-
ing, we suppose, the combined strength of the
Carlists and the party of Isabella-voted
against it. Having thus received the support
of the Liberal Unionists, the ProgressstS, the
Democrats, and Republicans, this important
principle of modern civilization seems to be
sure of finding place in the new fundamental
law of Spain, however the conflict between
the Monarchical and the Republican parties
may terminate.

The way to keep a secret is-not to tell it,
The Senate of the United States thinks a
better way is to go around among the people
who have heard it, and ask who told them
Its success in that line, however, was not
encouraging yesterday; and we hope the
experiment may be bitter enough to
enforce useful lesson. Many sof the
secret sessions of the Senate are farce
OF worse. There is no honest reason, for ex-
ample, why Indian Treaties should be held to
be subject concerning which the public
that suffers from them must know nothing.
But if the Senate insists on secrecy let it
maintain tiff it can-and not be calling on
the newspapers to keep its secrets for it.
