A PLAIN ANSWER.

We generally assume that an anonymous
correspondent is q coward or worse. Very
possibly the writer Of the communication be-
low is an exception to the rule; at any
rate we propose to print his letter and to
answer il in such terms rs, we hope, may be
clearly understood.
Can you give your readers some information con-
ccrnns tho claims Of newspapers against the unfortu
nate City OF New-York now before the Assembly Jul
dietary Committee at Abanyi You have :" ventilated
the congressman who participated in the Credit Mobier
and Ames matter suppose you now let us know about
some Of the honest editors Van buren, DEMOCRAT.
Neto York. April %, 1873.
Reference is undoubtedly had in the above
to certain claims said to have been presented
at Albany on behalf of some reputable and
some disreputable newspapers against the city
for advertising. Among others, we see that
somebody is assuming to present claim on
behalf of THE TRIBUNE. We can only say that,
so far as we know, we have no claim against
the city, unless it be for some trifing
balance on current business and that we can
think Of no possible authority that can have
been given or supposed by anybody to have
been given him, to represent US at Albany or
any where else in any such claim. We notice
that The Erening Post found it needful last
night to make similar disclaimer, and it is
quite probable that other reputable names have
been used in like manner without au-
thority. No assumption, however, of repre-
senting the newspapers can be more ridiculous
than the cool announcement that in OPPOSE
ton to these claims Mr. Dexter A. Hawkins
has appeared formally "tO represent the tax
"payers of New-Yorkm 1t is likely to be
a long time before the Taxpayers Of New
York depute Mr.. Hawkins to undertake any
representation of them.

4 FORG OFTEN PRECEDENT.

Our Philadelphia friends are certainly stir
ring themselves with unusual activity III the
matter of their Centennial and we sincerely
rejoice at seeing the leading journals have
given over the childish habit of carpinS at
the assumed rivalry of New-York. Tho last
agency invoked-and it is one which no one
will eayil ats that of the women Of Phlla-
delphia. Those who remember the triumph
ant success of the great Sanitary Fair during
the war need not be told how effective this
woman agency can be made. The same zeal
in new direction is now showing itself.
Two matters of mild surprise occur to us in
this connection. One is that in the appeal 10
popular sentiment which is making, especially
in the form of public meetings, the voice OF
female eloquence is not heard, and, with the
manly strains of robust eloquence from the
lips of Mr.. Dougherty and MIR. Iii Is. Price,
the clarion voice of Miss Anna f. Dickinson IS
not mingled. The theme is worthy of her
peculiar talent, and mingling of sexes on
the platform could hardly fail to produce the
best effect. She would not forget, we are con-
fdeut, what seems to have escaped the recol-
lection of all the masculine orators and jour
palists-what the Philadelphia women did,
and BY specific action, in the time that tried
"men'S souls"
We see noted in the proceedings of yes
terday the presence and active participation
Of two great granddaughter of Benjamin
Franklin. These excellent ladies have other
hereditary claims. 1t was their grandmother
-Franklin's only daughter-who, in the Au
tumn of 1850, on the death of the wife of the
President of Pennsylvania, succeeded to the
trust of great patriotic charity. 1t was
the women of Philadelphia who in that dark
hour of peril and sorrow raised by voluntary
contribution among themselves a large fund
singularly large, in view Of everything-fOr
the relief of Washington's suffering soldiers
at camp. The honored list of these noble
women is part of Philadelphia's recorded and
traditionary story, and yet every one seems to
have forgotten it now. 1t lies before us as
we write, and there we find names still proudly
borne by living descendants, which ought to
be remembered now-the names of Esther Ried,
of Bache, of Francis, Mexican. Rush, Hutchn-
son, Morris, Shipper, Graft, Mccall, Montgom
cry, Willing, Sergeant, and Others still surviv-
ing. There, too, we find the gift of q thou
sand dollars in coin from the Countess of Luz
zerne, and the humble Is. Cd. of the colored
woman Philis The fund raised amounted to
100000 in the only currency then available
equivalent to about $4,000 in gold. Now that
precedents for generosity are sought for, our
Philadelphia friends will pardon us for re-
minding them of this forgotten one.

IL tho curiosity seekers on the Challenger
will please accept these specimens, we shall
gladly part with them. We do not Insist on
the privilege of naming them, if any English
man wishes to rebaptize them. We cannot
say whether they will keep in alcohol, but
should judge that that fluid might prove well
adapted to their soft parts, and Vice versa
Nor must we permit ourselves to be over
whelmed with grief if they are lost to the
world Should the voyagers on the Challenger
take these specimens out to sea. it is quito
possible tho crew may become supcrstitous
and demand Jonah: in which case there
would DO nothing for it but to take the AMI
mails TO the ships side and heave them over

ODD FISH.

The four or five quarters into which the
globe is usually divided having been pretty
thoroughly exhausted of curosites by show
men and naturalists, the latter have taken of
late years to dragging up rare animals from
the vastly deep. Great success has attended
these endcavors, and we bad the pleasure
last year of laying before our readers abund
ant details respecting the extraordinary crea-
lures fished up on tho Hasser's cruise-beings
whose multiple streamers, suckers and stom-
achs yet linger in our dreams; whose poly
syllable Christian names still echo in our ears.
The world of science is deeply moved respect
ing this style of animals. Nations vie with
each other in the search. The British Gov
eminent, fully alive to the interest of the sub
ject has been at the expense of equipping a
complete expedition, with full corps of
scientific investigators for long cruise.
Among the first localities sought by these
explorers is New-York. The Challenger, with
all on board, arrived here yesterday.
Well, we have some queer fish. Strictly,
scientifically speaking, we are aware that fish
is not the proper term for these creatures;
but to most folks all g fish that comes into
"the metz Furthermore we shall not trouble
ourselves with long, Greek-derived names
For short we III call our curiosities Ring fish,
being confident that no classic name could
change their odor. There are so many re-
markable features about these monsters that
we scarcely know where to begin. They have
remarkable tenacty of life. 1t was supposed
year or two ago, that in some grand expert
ments in which many of our best citizens as
sisted, several of these creatures had been
deprived of vitality. They were dragged out
of their hiding places into the full light of
day. Some of them disgorged little. Some
were turned inside out and thus exposed to

give of similar cases is that. as the animal is
principally made up of mouth and stomach,
such reverses are not serious. So long rs
there is any part of the animal left. it imme-
diately begins to spread itself and get around
whatever may serve as prey. Having once
got around, the inside is the stomach and the
Ring-fsh is himself again.
Time would fail us were we to treat at
length of the appendages Of this animal and
its means of capturing any living thing which
may approach it, Sending out innumerabe
feelors and suckers it has absorbed whole
bodies of men-both here and up the river, ut

contemplate. IL was never known to have
enough. Even the marvellous changes which
some individuals of this species undergo, we
can but alludo to- as for instance, tho one

tho annual salaries of the delegation equal the
value of 1900 hogs; not the largest size perhaps

that this tremendous porcine outlay Is
about equal to two and quarter million OF
pounds Further Investigation discloses that the
services OF member during the session represent
say 100 hogs. How many barrels of shoulders, sides

choeso these ANIMALS are receivable into.
nor what residuary amount Of lard, we know
not, but enough, we are quito sure, to over
pay any except tho most dlgent and con-
scentious Congressional service. Nor is this all of
the cost. The Congressman before ho is fit to enter
upon that Office has probably consumed good many
hogs. II takes great deal of pork TO compact tho
