The different methods by which we encounter
and profess to remedy or restrain the evils OF
society, are too often cumulative and quite I'M
necessary evidence of mans cupidity or stu
pidity, of his Incidence, incapacity or indif
ference. With what is known (by general dis
tinctiOn and nOtOriety) as The Social Evil, even
professed and professional philanthrOpists have
dealt only in narrow and fOrcibly feeble
way. The difficulty has been that those who
worked with the most benevolent energy also
worked under diSpiriting distrust of the pos
sibility of regenerating any woman cOntami-
mated by prostitution. 1t might well be that
many of these poor creatures were weary of
their dreadful lives; and putting all moral
considerations out of the question, that they
would rejoice to escape from the physical
discomfOrts of their calling; but this was
just what society, strong in its outward
known that many who had been
temporarily rescued from a life of infamy
had upon the first opportunity, gone back to
it; but it was not considered that this return
might be merely a natural flight either from
Opprobrium OF from teasing and tOrmenting
surveillance inconsistent with the self-respect
and hourly comfort of its object Magdalene
Asylums are well enough in their way, but
their way does not seem to be the best; for
while a reformed or reforming woman re-
mains in one of them, she still bears, to a GER
tain extent, the stigma of her old profession I;
while the gregarious character of these estab-
llshments only serves to keep alive the esprit
du corps of the old guild of mercenary polu-
IL, -.
which delicate public writers did not care to
discuss, and which their still more delicate
readers avoided as if the mere thought of
it were a personal defilement. Here and
there man or woman spoke plainly and even
loudly; but the general feeling was that the
topic must be considered after a nicely quiet
fashion, and always under the sanction of the
clergy and the church.
The City of Boston, extremely intolerant As
it is of this form of vice, has set the example
of dealing with it in far different way. II
has tried the experiment of mixing common
sense with kindness, and, while it enforced
the law OF tempering its severity. 1t COM
menced operations about the 1st of May last
by arresting III the streets nearly 100
prostitutes who were found there plying their
vocation. This extraordinary crop having been
secured, the next question was, what to do
with it. Ordinarily, all these women most of
them still young would have been I" sent to
"the Island" i. e., to the Penitentiary
and hard labor. But the opportunity of
trying an experiment was too good to be
lost After much consultation with the Police
Magistrate and with several gentlemen inter
ested in the subject, it was boldly determined
to put large number of the arrested upon
probation for six weeks. One hundred and
thirteen were selected. These were taken in
special charge by Fathers Cook and Cullen
and by the Chief of Police. Twenty-Five were
nut upon probation before tic opening Of the

The Senate resolutions on Cuban affairs diff
fer from those of the House in form only.
They are, if possible, even less positive-mOre
thoroughly nOn-commital than the House reso-
lutiOns which prevailed. We should like to
believe that they may prove Influential with
the Spanish DOns, and lead to the mitigation
of the horrors of the Cuban war; but we can
not see that they are calculated to have any
effect at ALL The circumstances of the
debate in the House, not less than the
weakness of the Senate resolutions, tend to
lessen by rendering somewhat ridiculous Amer
lean influence in the affairs of Spain or any
other foreign power. We capnot but believe
that the more dignifed and wisei1 course fer
Congress to pursue is the simple declaration
of American neutrality in Cuban affairs. Such
a declaration would certainly carry with 1t
greater moral and practical effect than the re-
solutions which Mr.. Sumner yesterday sub
mitted to the Senate.

There is no reconciliation of House and
Senate over the Georgia bill The differences,
indeed, have extended to the House Recon-
struction Committee, and the debate of
yesterday was chiefly upon the question
of which of two reports was authorized by
the majority of the Committee A vote is to
be had to-day upon the BILL but there is little
probability of the harmonious settlement of
the question of Georgia reconstruction during
the present session of Congress.

There was a popular Irish orator who had
only one speech Finding himself often called
upon to address public assemblages, he man
aged to save his reputation and secure the
attention of his hearers by varying the order
of delivery. This plan, at length, failed to
impart novelty, and the address became
known as the Kaleidoscope speech
The Erening Post is adopting the
same course with the half-dozen points it has
on Free Trade, and daily gives an interchange
which it may be mechanically proved it can
do 720 times and no more. AS that number is
nearly exhausted, we presume it will have to
fall back on the unfulflled propheses it made
in "a, '2S, and 81 before the passing of the
Protective Tariffs of those years.

TIE STREET-CLEANJyG SWTNDLJ


The machinery by which the city is to be
remorselessly plundered under the pretense of
cleaning its streets has been finally arranged.
The law commonly known as the Tax Levy
contained clause authorizing the Board of
Health I" to make arrangements" with Contract
or Brown for such additional cleaning of the
streets as the public health may require. AT
the last meeting of the Board this power was
given not to the Committee but to the Chair
man of the Committee on Street Cleaning
With only the limitation that the cost shall
not exceed $50 and S35 per mile for each
cleaning of streets cleaned respectively more
and less than three times per week-a distinc-
ton which cannot be honestly accounted for
all authority is vested in this Chairman, the
Board not having reserved to itself nor lodged
anywhere else, any right to supervise his pro-
ceedings. The work is to be done by Con-
tractor Brown, undoubtedly in his usual way,
and certainly in that impenetrable shadow
with which he has managed to envelop hi,
shortcomings. Therefore, the public is to have
no means of knowing how much is stolen, or
who steals it,
But the theft is sure to be enormous. The
resolution of the Board of Health, taken pre-
cisely as it reads, and given the effect it was
assuredly intended to have, empowers this
Chairman to have the streets cleaned at his
discretion, and under its terms more than
S2OOO,OOO might be flched from the Treasury.
1t may be- that 50 much viii not be taken,

TILE THRILL MUUDLE.

A house built upon bad foundation Is sure
to fall of its own weight. This is the trouble
with the Internal Revenue Tax bill now before
the Senate. The House began badly by retain
ing the Income Tax, against which the whole
people cry out and by abOlishing other taxes
that have met with little or no opposition In
their collection. The Senate now promises to
do no better. Like the House, its Finance
Committee reports in favor of retaining the
Income Tax, allowing only deduction of
81 900, together with the full amount actually
paid for rent. This will prove more liberal to
heavy rent-payers in large cities than the
House bill, which merely allows deduction
of $500 for that purpose; but, as whole, 1t
is quite as oppressive on the poor ana the
industrious as the existing law.
The supposed necessity for making any
change at all in the present Internal Revenue
law arose from statement made last winter
by the Secretary of the Treasury that the In
ternal Revenue might be reduced some thirty
millions without crippling the finances OF the
country. This amount would be fully made
ND by the dropping out of the Income Tax,
which produces annually some thirty-four MIL
lions. and if not interfered with, expires this
year by its own limitation. There was, there
fore. no real occasion for any legislation on
Internal Revenue matters this session. But
Congress. in its inscrutable wisdom, thought
differently. and the result is a bill reenactlng
the odious Income Tax, and providing for
reduction of nearly thirty millions by the fol-

The defeat of Castelar's motion for the i'm
mediate abolition of Slavery in the Spanish
Colonies and the pOstponement of the bill for
gradual emancipation are not encouraging in
dications OF the temper of the COrtes; but
perhaps from Spain, in its present chaotic
condition, we have no reason to expect anything
better. The new governmental it is a
goyemment-which has succeeded the evil rule
Of Isabella has been in all respects grievous
disappointment TO the true friends of Spain.

We confess our inability to discover the
Justice or the policy of making these deductions
while keeping up the Income Tax. Q. The
first on the list is light and just tax, rang
ing from one per cent to six, according TO the
cOnsanguinity of the successor to the prede-
cessor 1t is robbed of all obnoxious features
by the exemption of widows from all tax,
while it allows to minor children deduction
of 81 900. Under it the rich mans son who
receives a legacy of $4,000 has to pay a tax
of $500 once during his lifetime. This he can
certainly better afford to do than the business
man can to pay the same amount every year that
his income reaches $4,000. (2). Under the head
of gross receipts is exempted list of soulless
corporations, such as railroad, stage, insurance,
telegraph, express, canal, ferry, ship, barge,
and steamboat companies. Can it be said
that these are more in need of relief than are
their clerks and employees, who will have to
pay heavy tax on their salaries if the Income
law be reGnacted9 (3). The special taxes fall
upon business, are too light to harass the tax
payer, and reach all classes. (Q. Schedule A
is a list of luxuries, such as gold and silver
plate, carriages, &c. Whether the millionaire
who drinks from gold-lined gOblets, eats with
silver knives and forks, takes his after-dinner
ride in $4,000 carriage, and always finds ex-
cuses for escaping the Income Tax, can better
afford to pay a tax on these Injuries than his
clerk or salesman can pay one on his paltry
salary of $500, is question which Congress
evidently is likely to decide in favor of the
millionaire. o. Exempting gas companies is
open to the same objections. The poor or
middling classes will not be benefited by any
such action.

HARRY Watkins AND WIFE.-To-mor-
row evening Mr.. Harry and Mrs. Rose
Watkins will make their first appearance
in Memphis. One is comedian of high
standing in dramatic art; the other is an
accomplished actress and vocalist Of
great merit. Wherever they have ex'
hibited their genius and their talents,
they have received the hearty encomiums
of discriminating public. They have
been universally admired for their pol
ished manners and graceful department,
which are not only samples of good
breeding, but of good acting also. We be-
lieve our young ladies and gentlemen
will to great extent enjoy and profit by
the sweet and innocent amusement
which Mr.. and Mrs. Watkins are likely to
afford them AT this season little OF
the grandeur of the romantic drama and
of the humor of the old-school comedy
sandwiched will be delightful.
