The slush, and filth and overflow, and general dis
comfort resulting from tho snow, and the utter
breakdown of tine street cleaning department, grow
worse and worse as the thaw continues. All
the snow wo have had this year is but
a bagatelle compared with the almost in
cessant SHOWS of last Winter. Yet lower New-York
was scarcely for any twelve hours during the whole
of last Winter in so dsagreeabe condition as 1t
was yesterday and the Gay before, and promises to

A new development in the tendencies Of the
Oranges is just attracting attention at tho West.
letter from Col. H. G. Cabell of Richmond Va, sent
TO The ST. Lods Republican, mentions the fact that
leading official of the Northwestern Oranges has
written letter Of inquiry asking if the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad could be leased so as to DO run
in the interest of the producing classes. This, of
course, would mean an effort to get great freight

The remarkable Temperance revival and
crusade in Ohio seem TO lose nothing OF their
power and momentum. Our dispatches give a
good idea of the fervor and enthusiasm with
which the women have entered into their
work; their patience is also exemplified ID
one OF two instances where some particularly
hard cases have long withstood the gentle in
fluence brought to bear upon them. Columbus
has ample warning of the siege preparing for
st.; and on Monday next, it is said, operations
will be fairly begun. The devoted besiegers
certainly have the sympathy of all friends Of
reform in their well-meant movement against
tho enemy's works.

The long-expected report on the profits OF
Custom-house officers and informers has come
TO light at last. 1t is a suggestive as well as
interesting document 1t shows that it is a
fine thing to be O Collector, Naval Officer, or
Surveyor of Customs, so far as money is con-
cerned. The New-York Custom house, for ex-
ample, has paid the Collector of tho Port over
100000 in mOieties alone, FROM March ], 1869,
to Dec. 81, 1873. The other chief officers have
Jared about as well. Among the outside
skirmishers Mr.. Jayne appears to have done
the best business, his operations in New-York
and Boston netting him about $9OO,OoO Inc
other informers and spies get oil with handsome
sums. 1t should not be forgotten that these
large amounts do not represent the spolls OF
smugglers they arc the avails, to great ex-
tent, of extortions and expressions levied on
the commerce Of the country.
The meeting at the Produce Exchange yes

passionate Judgment of the case found ample
confirmation in the facts adduced. The num-

pose to relieve the greater part of existing
want. Their deficiencies must be supple
mented by private charity; and private charity
can avail itself of channels already open. 1t
is evident that some enlargement of existing
means of relief is necessary; and the Produce
Exchange have agreed to collect food and
money for this special purpose.

Il :
f., @-.s Probability Of a Veto. -.
'WAsHINGroN, May 24.zThe. SEN
ate, after remaining in session until
fafter seven O'Clock Saturday morn
ing, finally passed the civil rights
bill. The bill now goes to the House,
where it will go to the bottom of the
| Speakers table. It is the belief of
| many that the bill cannot be reached
during this session without a sus-
pension of rules, which requires a
| two-thfris vote. Not few OF the
Republicans Of the House are very
anxions to stave off action on this
| bill until after the fall elections. It
is conceded that the very full dis
cussion of the principles of this bill,
which will be made before the peo-
| pie, during the canvass, will not help
the prospects of the Republican par
| ty.. A prominent Republican mem
Der remarked tonight that the bill
would certainly pass the House next
| session. if it did not now, and wheth-
er it passed now or not, every man
who went before the people for cleo
| tion to the next House would be
compelled to define his position on
the bin, as it would be one of the
| principal issues. The passage OF
the bill by the Senate, it is thought,
adds very much to the chances of an
opposition House of Representatives
being elected next fall. The rumors
that the President. win veto the bill
| if it should be sent to him are re-
I4peated' tonight, with more conf
| tience than ever. Among the cur

A later dispatch states that al
though there is a sufficient number
of votes in the House to pass the
Senate civil rights bill, there will be
difficulty in reaching it in the regu-
lar order of business, owing to meas
ures which take precedence, and
dilatory motions by its opponents
to prevent action upon it. The
House committee on the Judi
ciary has matured one of similar
character soon to be reported. Even
If such a bill should pass both
branches, doubts are expressed
as to its receiving the Presidents

have been prepared by the standing

From the Memphis Ledger, May 26.
Ruth Carter is a simple minded
but honest and virtuons looking girl
of sixteen, from Jonesboro,' East
Tennessee, where she once worked
for Mr.. Sewer at the hotel. She
came originally from North or South
Carolina and has been an orphan for
many years. Her sister, Jennie,
married a man named David Miller.
and moved TO Mason's Depot, last.
year then they came to Memphis
and David Miller died of yellow fe-
yer here or out on the railroad where
he worked The | widow wrote to-
Ruth to come ont here, and that she
was keepinga small grocery in Mem.

ago with a family of movers named
Biddle, but could not find her sister,
Mrs. Miller. A. Mrs. Murphy in
North Memphis gave her a home
temporarily and she. has. been Search.
ing vain!y for her sister several
weeks. Charles Gilbert is a hard
visaged, large framed man, at least
thirty years old. The other day he
found Ruth Carter in Court Square,
and learning that she wanted a home.
promised to find one for her. Sus-
pectlng nothing wrong, She followed
him to a house of infany and. was
assigned room. Then Gilbert de I
manded ten dollars from the propri-
etress, Maggie Quinn, for his. valor.
Gus services, which she refused, and
to her. credit be il said. Madame
Quinn, instead of taking advantage
of the fricndless, unsophisticated
child, sent for detective McCune and
had her removed to the station
house Yesterday she told her Short
story before Recorder Winters in
simple. artless manner. and Gilbert
was fined fifty dollars and sent to
jail. She is a mere child, rather
good looking. and very neat in her
plain calico dress. Mr.. M. NeaGs
kindly took her to his house. where
she will find work and a good home.
Gilbert richly deserves to be sent to
the penitentiary for a long term of
years, but it is doubtful whether the
law will reach his case.

The New York Sun says that The

Moses of South Carolina charges

Treasurer of Orangeburg county, to

the private debts of Moses. is un.

an extensive business in the way OF
borrowing money from county treas.

free use of the public funds has led
many of them to violate their trust
for their own benefit, as they we'll
know that he can pardon them il

element. Ii. A. Smith, the county
Treasurer of Fairfield, was recently
convicted Of embezzling $4,000 be.

AIackey, who is himself a. Radical
Republican, in passing sentence up
on the .eulPrit remarked thathe firm
ly believed that he was performing a
duty purely technical and formal, as
the Judgment itself was merely a
precursor of a pardon, which. would
surely follow. The question which
now agitatesSouth Carolina is wheth-
er if Moses should be tried and con.
victed of larceny he has the power
under the laws and Constitution to
pardon himself. His conviction of
the crime in the eyes of his support
ers would be no disqualification for
office. since his immediate prede-
cessor, the most of the State officers
who have held Office since recon
struction, and a great majority of
the members of both Houses of the
Legislature, have been notorious for
their transgressions OF the Eighth
Commandment. In view Of the con-
dition of affairs now prevailing in
South Carolina, it would really ap-
pear that it was hardly worth while
for Grant to have put a large por-
ton of tho State under martial law
previous to the last election, at a
time of profound quiet, merely to
terrorize voters, secure the electoral
vote for himself, and maintain in.
power the statesmen Of the Moses
school, who have for some years
past been the acknowledged repre-
sentatives of his Administration

LoUfsv1LEE. ky, May 26.--fn the
General Conference the Bishops
pastoral address was read. On the
subject ofdancing, it says Worldly
amnsements are denounced by the
word of God and by that of our gen.

ken in the name of the law of Jesus.
This denunciation is explicit and
comprehensive. Amongst those in
dnlgencies which cannot, stand this
solemn test is the modern dance both
in its private and public exhibitions,
as utterly opposed to the genius of
Christianity as taught by us. When
persisted in is a justifiable ground
