Not drop of blood seemed to have been left in
the body; 1t had flowed out through five wounds
on the throat one OF them perIect chasm. The

literally flooded with blood There was blood
everywhere-on the walls, on the floor In pools, on
ping with water and blood were piled up IN

made to wash away the blood stains. " Is DIM

A FILTH PARADISE.

Thompscn Street and West Broadway
as Sanitary Neglected spots-A Sweep
ing and Disinfccting Reform Needed.
There are many intelligent, well-meaning peo-
pie in this city who regard the Board OF Health az
moribund bureau--an Illustration OF red tape,
uselessness and cIrcumlocution. The Board meets
once week, and gives to the press q brilliant
record OF its hebdomadal splurges: yet, somehow
or other, the shovel, the broom and the disin-
iectant seem never to appear In certain Of the
dirtiest districts Of this thposoned city, Take for
example. Thompson street, which 1t may be neces-
sary TO inform artstocratic New YORK extends from
washington square 10 Canal street. and Is chiefly
Popuiated oy Italians and negroes Of the lowest

posed sewer OF nameless Hlth. The Seventh ave.

stencil that salutes the nostrils even in this hasty

succession OF pools OF vlscid, Shiny filth, inter-
spersed with garbage and 0dorous deposits, pre-
clpitated on the street at Midnight The tenement

state OF active thfermentation yet the purifying
influence or the Sanitary Board DOESN'T seem TO
reach IT, West Broadway and the streets aoutting

Messrs. Robert johnson and Charles r..
Thorne, ST., Before Judge Kasmire-

About half-past ten O'Clock yesterday morning
Judge Kasmtre, sitting at Essex Market Courr,

unfortunate differences which have recently
sprung up between two well known members OF
the theatrical profession. Mr. Robert Johnson,
the complainant was an actor OF repute for many
years in the Ola Bowery Theatre, and Is now a
dramatic author. He Is q man Of splendid ply
slque and hercufean frame, and for many years de-
lighted the BOwery audiences in heavy tragedy
parts, and, as was particularly noticeable yester-
day, has not lost any OF the force which character
lied his performances on the Bowery boards. APP
proacning the Bench yesterday with majestic and
lordly mien, he sauted His Honor Judge Kasmire
with granulOse wave OF his arm.

An EnterprisIng Dog Catcher.

James s. Church, Of No. 800 Pearl street. youth
OF some twenty-five summers, yesterday called at
the city Hall to see HIS Henor the Mayor. Mr..
Havemeyer just happened to come out of his pri.
vate Office and kindly asked the young man what
he desired. Church said that he had started on q
capital Of seventy-nve cents few days ago catch
ing dogs that at present he had gathered seventy
five CANNES, which were fed by him now. Learn
ing that In his the Second) Assembly district
there was vacancy, he came to apply for the same
and hoped His Honor would confer upon MIN the
appointment. The Mayor, who espted Alderman
John J. Morris IN his office, referred the young
man to hum, and 1t Is needless to say that the
mended the enterpristng youth, who was then and
there duly qualified and installed into the Ofice OF
official dog catcher OF the Seconu Assembly dis

reaped the fruits Of mis- industry and pocketed

"What will We Do About IT."
TFrom the CalvastOn fTAxaa, Mercnrv1


II President Grant concludes to run for o third
term the question, "What will we do about

sending members to Congress- One OF them. ex-
Governor Throckmorton, proclaimed himself in
favor Of division OF our state SIX or seven
years ago. He is a stanch friend Of the railroad
interests OF our State, and is perhaps, more con-
versant with the actual wants and necessities OF
our pe0p.e than any other public or prf-
vate citizen now in our state. The next
congressional term will witness macy i'm
portaDt changes Its members, beyond all
question, should be picked men. Changes In
the internal construction OF our government
are sure to be agitated. Will President Grant, II
elected he satisfied at the end OF his third term,
or will he not try to establish himself in the Ex-
ecutive chair for lifeY There are TO be found IN
the country people who, at 1rst were startled out
OF their propriety at the bare announcement that
Grant might, by any possibility, become the llfe
Presidents of the United States, VINO now think
that II he were once firmly seated In the Execu-

Grant and . Third Term.

From The Troy Whtg-EepubI1can.1
The "Casarism" Of the NEW YORK HEBALD never
had any foundation in fact. The articles on tho
subject were put out as feelers. The herald
wanted to test the health Of the body polite BY
feeling its pulse. The newspapers were shy ana
made few and feeble responses. But reporters
and intervtewers drew from very prominent In
divrduals their private opinions No man OF any
influence was found in favor OF third term. But

that our opinion does not tally with Grants sup
port of the Kellogg and other factions In the South,
nor with his conduct in enforcing the laws against
the Ku-Kiux. Nevertheless, 1t is very certain that
and others, who are Tor white mans party, write
and act as II they have had some encouragemene
