In What has Mr.. Eaton Offended !

The New FORK Times, of the 18th inst,
in an editorial under this title recapitulates
the points upon which Mr.. Dorman B. Eaton
has offended the powers that be" in New
York city, which led to the outrageous as
sault made upon him on Saturday, the 18th
inst as follows
Ten years ago Mr.. Eaton led the forlorn
hope against the then corrupt and inefficient
d" Board of Health of that city, and, by his
persistent and unhinching exposure of its rot.
tenness, finally secured the appointment of a
new board. After the formation of the new
board, of which he was counsel, he sinned"
again in his vigorous onslaught upon the rum
holes, the bone breaking nuisance the driving
of cattle through the crowded streets and the
slaughtering of cattle in respectable localities
in the city. BY his persistent efforts the lat
ter three nuisances have been absolutely abat-
cd, and the rumsellers, although not abated,
are forced to contribute largely to the public
fund Of the city. His thorough exposures of
the Tammauy Ring" and his audacity in
following them up, in the courts and in the
press, will be remembered by our readers.
But the browning sin" of all his "sum of
yillainies" was the exposure of the corrup-
lions of the Erie Railroad, under its present
management Mr.. Eaton has attacked them
in their tenderest point--their pockets, and
the courts Bravey and with great ability
has he made war upon them, until we Judge
that the present misrulo of Erie is about at
an end"
These in brief are Mr., Eaton's great often
ces aud he has suffered natural retribution
Private adyices from Mr.. Eaton state that
he is still confined to his bed, and recovering
very slowly.
