The New York Times declares that the
Mayor and Controller of the city have
defrauded the corporation directly IN the
matter of renting armories to the extent
of one hundred and eighty thousand dol
lars. The Mayor and Controller reply
that the Times has an unsettled account
with the city, and this is the reason why
it makes the publication. This is one
way of answering a grave accusation.
Why does not Mayor Hall disprove the
rascality charged against himself? That
is the main point. He is public officer
and is on trial. Will the people OF New
York let him pillage them because he has
succeeded in defeating the payment OF
claim due to the Times? Is the robbery
of one laborer to condone for the robbery
of million of men? If it is, then Black
wells Island is mistake.

AMEND YOUR PETITION.

The following, from the State Reqister.
is too defective to be filed:
The New Orleans Republican stated, few
days ago, that there were in the Custom
house three or four hundred men more than
were needed. We have taken some pains
to examine into this statement, and we find
that there are between twenty and thirty
vacancies in that much abused establish
ment Will the Republican make the cor
rection?
If our friend, the Register, will first cor
rect his own statement, we will entertain
his proposition that we correct ours. The
REPUBLICAN has not said there were three
or four hundred men in the Customhouse
more than were needed. We never SUD-
posed that there were more than three
hundred employees there at any time. But
we may be permitted to urge that we con-
slider that number rather in excess of the
actual requirements Of the service. AS
for the allegation of the Register, that
''there are between twenty and thirty
vacancies in that much abused establish
ment, )" it is too gauzy-it will not wash.
1t is as much of an error as the other
statement that the REPUBLICAN charges
on the Customhouse an excess of three or
four hundred men. By the way, will the
editor of the Register inform us whether
he is not himself employed in the Gus
tomhouSe?

negligence, Mr. Cockrem set his men to
work with shovels and carts. He was
also moved to activity in his official
duties by terrible report that came to US
from Norfolk few days ago. Norfolk
enjoys the enviable distinction of being
Virginia city, and no doubt has Mayor
something like ours. Here is one OF the
results: A child was recently lost there,
and the population turned out in the
midst of excitement and anxiety to look
for it. The muddy cutters were raked
up; every old pile of rubbish was over
turned for the missing one, but all in
vain. Hope was succeeded by despair,
until finally the poor child was found in
a jungle of weeds that ornaments one of
the streets of that famous city. Possibly
Mr.. Cockrem feels it his duty to keep
down the weeds in this city, as well as
the few harmless spears of grass" that
succeed in making existence possible in
their midst. And our experience and our
testimony amply sustain him. Green
is pleasant enough color under ordinary
circumstances. But miles of green scum
in the cutters do not ornament city nor
add to its health or character. And if
Mr. Cockrem can keep the two or three
thousand miles of streets, canals and
bitches under his charge in even toler-
able condition, for nine thousand dollars
week, we ought to be well satisfied.
We believe he is right when he refuses
to weigh the lives and health of the
people OF great city against even such
an estimable treasure as $4,000 a week.
Go on, Mr.. Administrator; put your house
in order, as cheaply as you can, of course,
and trust grateful people for the result.
Those who now carp at the expense,
without knowing whether it is too great
or too small, are the very men who would
howl the loudest if they were to suffer
from your neglect of duty This is just
how it is.

A correspondent Of the Missouri Re
publican, who has lately conversed with
many of the leading Democrats of Hi
nois on the subject of the next presi-
dency, says that they agree that Governor
B. Gratz Brown will be the Democratic
nominee, and are certain that he will be
triumphantly elected. Before Governor
Brown allows himself to become too much
elated by the talk of leading" Democrats
on this subject, he had better think of the
fate of Mr.. Pendleton and Mr.. Seymour
whose election to the presidency was also
considered certain by leading" Demo
Gratis. Principles, not men, determine
the presidential question.

THE " NEGRO RISING" GORDON.

A note from a friend reminds US that
it was General John B. Gordon, of At
lanta, who recently testified before the
Ku-Klux committee He was the Dema-
cratic candidate for Governor of Georgia
against Bullock, but, in consequence of
a ''rising of the negroes" at the polls,
was unsuccessful. AS he is again can
didate for nomination by the Democrats,
he propably wishes to prevent any future
rising" of similar nature by means of
organizations for protection. He and
his chest citizens of the State" by whom
he was approached, may we'll fear such
another "rising" as that which kept Cor
don out Of the gubernatorial chair of
GEORGIA.

violation of duty, bordering u. on infdel-
ity. This immense advance in the right
direction gives encouragement to believe
that sooner or later what is acknowledged
to be morally right will be putin practice,
and that s irit of genuine tolerance in
religious matters will be so common that
people will find it difficult to believe that
such state of mind once ranked as a rare
virtue. May that happy time be fastened.

Everything, according to the New York
Mail, points to the conclusion that the tinge
of "shoddy" which has disfgured New
York society ever since 1861, is getting
ground out. Nobody wears diamond neck
Iaces to breakfast at Saratoga, Church wed
dings" have seen the last days of their
glory, personal society journalism is de-
nounced and discouraged IN earnest, and
the desire for comfort has replaced the de,
sire for display.

BRUTALIZING EXHIBITIONS.

Four thousand people attended at the
execution of colored man, who was
hung in Texas on Thursday. The victim
of the law in this case had killed another
negro. There are but few educated people
who attend these hanging matches. Still
fewer educated people attend at what is
even lower than public execution-the
