NEW YoRK, Jan. 10, 1874.

NEW u Ohh, u al. 1Ot 4OS1s
THR WEArHRR-srREErC CLEANING
Drizzle, drizzie, pour, pour. These
four words express accurately The
weather that the city has been favored
with for a week. A steady, soaking,
pouring rain-a rain that kept the
cutters full, and the streets swim
ming, made New York the most uE-
comfortable place in the world. The
fashionable promensdes were desert
ed, the trade palaces were empty,
and the pretty clerks who part their
hair in the middle, had nothing to do
but to hatten their sweet noses
against the damp panes, looking and
longing for the buyer who came not.
But the fierce rain was good thing
for New York, for it clesped the
streets. The streets are only cleaned
by the rain. The city pays an enor-
nous sum every month for street
cleaning, but none OF it is ever done.
The contractors appear promptly the
first Of each month, draw their money,
and go their way joyfully, and the
city swims 10 filth, till q great rain
washes it out into the rivers. Then
the stones IN the pavement show
their heads, the cutters smell little
less like pest-houses, and for q few
days, the man who has nose finds
life endurable. New York is always
thankful for 8 good rain.
SHERIFF BRENEAE's LITTLE TROUBLE.
The Tammsnyites are in a more
serious frame of mind than they have
been since the beginning OF their
troubles. Mr.. Sheriff Brennan is the
present toad under the legal harrow.
The escape OF Harry Genet was con-
sidered by Tammany one OF the most
exquisite Jokes Of the season. A
mere mention of it was sufficient to
produce loud outlaws, and when q
ring striker met any one connected
with the sheriff's Office, it was made
the occasion OF many jocose winks
and much hilarious rib-pu1chIng.
Brennan was the hero of the rum
mills, and was the especial admiration
Of every broken nosed rufian in the
city. But Judge Daniels put q sud-
den stop to all this pleasantly; for
behold you, he pulled Sheriff Bren
nan-he adjudged him guilty of con-
tempt of court in permitting bis pris
oner to escape, and he fined him
$3.50, and, in addition, sent him to
iaiI for thirty days. this being all the
penalty be could put upon him. And
more, Mr.. Sheriff Brennan was noti-
fed that the moment he had served
his time out, be would be subjected
to 8 criminal prosecution for comm
wing at Genet's escape, which opens
the cheerful prospect OF Sing Sing to
him.
Then the jocularity attendant upon
this escape ceased. The thieves did
not wag their heads and wink their
ewes at Mr.. Brennan. In Jail !or
allowing a prisoner to escape! Pre-
posterousl Why the Thing had been
done q thousand times. But Judge
Daniels was infexible, and so the
doors OF Ludlow street Jail closed
upon the Sheriff, and the ring is
quAking in its boots.
The man who has done the most ot
the work in breaking down this ms
lign influence is q man almost IN
known outside the city.

MR- II. c. ALLEN,

the District Attorney. Allen is 9
magnificent lawyer, who, when be
knows q thing, knows that he knows
it. He is q man not only OF much
legal learning, bus he has the legal
mind and ; plucky pugnscious spirit
that delights in encounters in which
hsrd blows are given and taken.
Consequently, Mr.. John Graham,
who has brow-besten every lawyer at
the New York bar, ard who had con.
triyed TO make them all afraid OF
him, was astonished 70 find in Dis
trict-Attorney Allen Q man who could
neither be besten st the game Of Law,
or frightened out OF any position
be might assume. Then they tried
money on him, but they found to
their greater astonishment an honest
official, who, In such q matter, had no
regard Whatever tor money.
Mr.. Allen, in short, gave the thieves
TO understand that be was after them,
and thst he should stay after chem
till be had every one OF them in the
penitentiary. He drew the indict-
ment against Tweed 30 carefully that
a mcsoaito could not get through its
meshes, be challenged jurors day
after dsy till he had secured sn hon

Of the artists scope and coloring. The chro-

These chromos are in every sense Ameri-

have held several mass meetings,
their demand being that the city shall
give them labor or bread. Much
ineendisry talk IS heard, and fiery
appeals to the worst passions are
freely indulged in. But the move
ment has excited but very little at
tention. "Tbe hard handed laborers,'
who beIeh forth torrents of red-hOt
indignation over the wrongs OF the
laboring men, are old acquaintances.
They are the red -nosed patriots who
never did a stroke OF work in their
lives, who make a precarious living
by CAB, and who arc ready 10 espouse
any "cause'' that will furnish them
whlskey and bread--particularly whis-
key. They can get on very well
without bread. These fellows are
urging their "felloU-lsborers' to take
by the stroag hand what they want.
They stigmstize the holding Of prop
erty as 8 crime, and hold up as an
enemy to mankind any man VINO
wears a clean shirt.
These are the fellows who do the
striking for Tsmmsny. They would
strike against Tammany just as read
lily if it would pay better. 1 never

Heaven that capital punishment has
not been abolished in this State.
While labor is scarce in New York,
st this time, the real laboriDg men

The Italians seem to be the most un-
fortunate Of all immigrants in New York.
The hardships of the adults who come to
this cherries climate reach their climax in
suffering from the cold in winter, and hardly
milder impositions in summer. The chill
dren are even worse of, and the slavery in
which they have been held by cruel task
masters among their own countrymen has
been made uppleasantly familiar The
sequel to this business is the order just
passed by the Police Board for the arrest
Of all children under sixteen years Of age
found on the streets playing on musical in
struments. This act will, we hope, put al
end to the sufferings of the poor children
but consideration for the feelings Of tn,
public ought to have extended it to tn,
adults who innict tortures upon lovers o
music through the discords of the discord
ant hand-organ and the dreadful hurdy
gurdy.

The repeal Of the Sanborn contract
law in the National House of Representa-.
tives, by unanimous vote without call
Of the roll, is satisfactory. But it is to be
regretted that such an infamous act was
ever passed 1t has smirchod good many
regulations that would probably have never
been unsettled but for the temptations to
evil-doing which II afforded, and has made
the morality Of even honest men seem ques-
tionable. We trust that the warning of leg
islation like this, which put premium on
corruption while profsssedly unearthing it,
will not be lost, and that we shall have no
more Of such dangerous political ferretiug.

The inquest into the Mill River disaster,
now in progress, is making sad revelations.
Itshows that the Williamsburg dam was most
shabbily constructed, that some of the pro-
prietors knew nothing about its condition,
and that there was reckless carelessness and
murderOus neglect of duty in regard to its
safety. Its foudaton was sand the cement
treacherous, and poor work characterized
every part Of the construction. And yet,
with all this criminal carelessness, it is
doubtful whether any one will be punished,
or whether even the responsibility will be
driven home and made to stick with all
the weight it ought. 1t is more likely to
be so scattered as to attach with less force
than it should to any one. But SO far as
Furnishing is concerned, the laws of Mas
sachusetts provide for an examination Of
dams without afhxing penalties for neglect
Of duty, or for the failure to fulfill contracts
in building them.

The Indians in Oregon and the south

and elsewhere. Gen. Sheridan expresses
the opinion that formidable cattle-stealing
expedition is on foot. 1t seems to be a
very difficult matter to keep those sayages
upon their reservations, and compel them TO
live peaceful life. 1t is evidently not in
their nature to do so. No matter what the
government does for the red man, be will

probably the only cfectual cure for these
irrepressible eccentricities of the savage

We of New England are in the habit
Of scolding good deal about the climate
Of this country, and scoding was never
more in order than this season. But it is
interesting to know, on the eminent and
unquestionable authority Of DR.. Sequard-
Brown, that our climate is really a superior
article, after ALL The doctor says he found
it out first in one of his lectures. He was
experimenting with a rabbit, and having
done the same thing in Europe before, he
told his class just when the death of
the creature might be expected but the
rabbit didn't die, as it ought, much to
the lecturers surprise. Subsequent expert
ments with animals and observation of
men, convinced the doctor that both men
and animals can endure more here than in
the old world.
