SANITARY SCIENCE.
The Department Of Public Works and The Com
mon Council---Stagnant Streets.
MEETlNa OF the soARp OF AfAl7H.

At the regular meeting OF the Board Of Health,
held yesterday afternoon, o communication was
received from Commissioner Van Mort in reply to
one sent to him by the Board OF Health respecting
the paving OF North Baxter, Mulberry and Park
streets. Mr.. Van Mort explained that the only
thing that could be done with these thorOughfares
by his department was the filing OF them in and
grading. The power to order the paving, making
OF cutters, &C., rested with the Common Council,
and they had not yet taken any action in the mat
ter. Copies OF both letters were then ordered to
be sent to the Common Council.
Commissioner BARR offered resolution that the
Sanitary Inspector should be desired to made
thorough examination OF all the scAoolhouses in the
city and report their condition to the Board.
Commissioner GROSS Immediately bristled up at
this very necessary and truly sanitary resolution.
The discussion on the subject lasted some time,
but the measure was finally passed. Commissioner
Gross had some idea that Commissioner Barr was
aggressive to the Board OF Education Of which
body the latter gentleman is a members but II the
schoolhouses are in a COED condition the Board OF
Education should have no objection to the presence

THE POLITICAL MECCA.-The Re
pubIicans of the Grant school, all
those in favor of the reelection OF
the present incumbent Of the White
House have their eyes turned to Phi
ladelphia, and the 5th of June, when
the National Convention Of the party
meets to fix the ticket.
The Republicans propose to open
the campaign early. They will hold
their State Convention in Baltimore,
April "a, to nominate fourteen dele
gates to represent the State in the Re
publican National Convention at Phi
ladelphia, on the 9th of June next -
Their primary meetings are called for
this County, on Saturday, April Is.
The Liberal Republicans, so-called,
opposed to the denomination and re-
election of President Grant are look
ing to Cincinnati and the Mass Con-
vention which is to be held there on
Wednesday, the LIST day of May, as
big with the fate Of "Ceasar and of
Rome If they should happen to
nominate DAVID DAVIS, of Illinois,
Lincoln's Right Bower and law
partner in his pallny days, and the
Democrats nominate no candidates,
but indorse and support Davis, the
political pitched battle next Novem-
Der between Gen. Grant, the Hero,
and David Davis, the Civilian, will
become quite interesting and sharply
contested.
So Philadelphia and Cincinnati are
to be the political mecca. for loI2.-

EARrnQUAKE.-A slight shock OF
earthquake was experienced in Cali
fornia on the Goth instant. 1t was
less felt in San Francisco than in
Sacramento.
The central force Of the earthquake
was in the Sierra Nevada, at Visalia,
Tulare county, some miles South OF
the San Joaquin River. Parties at
Foot Hills, "a miles East of Visalia,
report crash as of mountains rent
asnnder. No serious damage result
ed from the conclusion.

ss,- Nearly every Republican State
Convention held this year, as far as
we have observed, has passed resolu-
tions favoring the denomination Of
President Grant. Upon the Vice
Presidency there is some difference OF
opinion, the East favoring Senator
Wilson, of Massachusetts,, and the
West divided between Collax, Cover
nor Dennison ef Ohio, and Senator
Harlan and Hon. James F. Wilson, of
Iowa. The South is not taken into
consideration, but many Of the Re
puplicans Of that section favor the Sc
lection Of Senator Lewis of Virginia
for the second office in the gift Of the
people.

WASHINGTON. March 5.-The New
York Custom house investigation was
continued to day before the Senate Spe
cial Committee, but the evidence was
confined to New York importer, Mr..
Schurz. General Bahcock, Of the Pres
idents staff, was present all day, but the
Committee did not have time to take his
testimony. He will he examined to
morrow. The evidence Of Mr.. Schurz
was most elaborate, and vet very posi-
tive and direct as to the abuses and cor
ruptions of the Custom house officials
and those who co,operated with them
He testified to losses on imported goods
in the general order warehouse, ranging
from five to seventy-fve per cent. of the
pa, kage. aud that this was so common
and the remedy for it so unarsiing that
importers rarely ever complained if the
