There are in the city of New York erected
and being erected public structures of a yery
similar character, which L shall speak of. as
showing the difference of integrity between
the United States officials and those of the
city of New YORK.
The first, which is pow finished, is the
Battery wall and basin; this has an extent
on the harbor OF 1000 feet. The city began
to finish it about twenty years since, and
have, to great extent, damaged the harbor
on i, 100 feet front by throwing rubble stones
instead OF building up wall from the bottom,
as the United States have done on their part
OF 1T After great deal of fraud on the part
OF the city officials and that of the contract
ors, all Democrats Republicans
now-the work was ended lately, and a mis-
cradle basin OF 8 feet of water put there for
boats by the viftuous Sweeney, Hilton, and
Fields; No vessel can lay alongside this
wall. -+ - a..H w
The United States on its property has
built sea-wall about one hundred and forty
feet in extent, with twenty-four feet at low
water alongside of it, and a basin two hun-
dred and ten feet in width, with twenty feet
OF water inside, and steps to accommodate
boats-the whole of granite of the best con-
structon, credit to any city in the world
The work is completed and paid for, the total
cost being S215, 200, exclusive of site, which
costs $4,000 more.
The other structures are the new citv
court house and the post office. The court
house was begun in 1860, think. On this
not near finished building over fourteen mil
ions have been expended and stolen-the lat
ter the greatest quantity. know some Lib
eral Republicans busily engaged now in
preaching reform with the unconvicted Dem
ocrats who made their large fortunes out of
the robbings of the court house.
The post office was begun in 1869: il is
once and half the area of the court house,
to be much higher, and viii not cost one
third OF the cost of the court house, and will be
finished in one third of the time that the
court house will take to finish it.
L can not point out greater contrast be-
tween the two parties than what have
written. If the people of this country want
the New York thieves at the head of the gov
ernment let them vote for the yelled prophet
OF Khorassan, as deem Mr.. Greeley to be,
as far as a concealment Of sentiments can be.
Ii they but wish peace to dwell in and out of
our borders, integrity kept up IN our public
officials, our prosperity improving, let them
vote for Grant.

be the most infamous in our political history

From the Atlanta Weekly.

The eve" proud prerogatiye of editors and
kings, is not the anomalous superfuity that
it may seem to subscribers and subjects. We
will not, however, attempt the defense of the
royal ''we'', but will limit ourself to writing
up the duality of editorial existence.
In the office of the Atlanta, Weekly, we are
absolute monarch over reporters and eompos-
itors, and the occasional rebellions and insur-
rections of our beloved sub-editor are usually
readily suppressed. In the columns of the
Weekly are incorporated the opinions of
great political party: Ifthere were pronoun
plural-er than ''we'' it would be all too singu-
lar to express the collective multitudinOus
compendiosity of editorial personality. But
the editor at home is a very different thing.
From being the incarnate voice Of the people,
we become an individual, far from influential
and..rarely consulted as to domestic measures.
Sometimes our opinion is asked, as "a mere
formality; and we are careful to give advice
strictly in accordance with views already or
ganized. If we neglect this precaution we
find ourself in defeated minority and are
obliged to come round to the opinion of our
mother, which we do by easy stages so as to
preserve a semblance of originally and indie
pendence of correction. In the sanetum
there are at least a dozen of us-at home the
valueOf our identity is expressed by figure
far to the right of the decimal point.
