The Registry Bstreau.

The Registry Bureau has been woven
in with another expensive fixture. We
allude to the Engineers Department
This Department costs the city about
four thousand dollars year more than
it returns in fees. In former years Mr..
Daniel Farra and the late John T. Rob-
inson did all the surveying tue city re-
quired for about $1,000. The fee for
surveying building line is about Sl.25.
which is paid by the owner of the prop
erty. These fees now go to the city; but
formerly the City Surveyors got them
for their work and received no salary.
The highest number of lines run in one
year we believe was five hundred Last
year there was but about two hundred
and twenty-five and last month but one
We presume. There may have been none.
Now there is one Chief Engineer at 81, 900
year; one assistant at 81 500, and two
other assistants at about 81 900 each, and
perhaps u hlborer or two to carry the
chain. The salaries Of all these gentle
men 20 OH whether there is any work to
be done or not, and citizens can readily
see the difference in expense between
letting the people pay the Surveyors and
the city's doing it through the high
sounding name of Department. is very
material.
An impression prevails among very
large and respectable class Of citizens
that both the Bureau and the Engineers
Department should, in tho interest of
economy and the tax payers, be abolish
ed. Of course men who pay no proper
ty tax, or those who put their money in
Government bonds; or being non- parti-
tax, may not feel the weight Of these
partizan arrangements.
The Coancil is often worked up terri
bly, over one or two cents difference in a
contract for labor on the streets OF for
printing, OF for building, or for gutter
plates; but it does not look with such
earnestness at the big Leaks" in the
Departments Of the Water, the Engi-
neering and now the Registry Bureau"
We would like to know what all these
Engineers have earned last month OF
for the two months previous; orthe year
previous, for that matter. Give us the
facts from the record?
If we have named the salaries too
high or nisstated anything we will cor
rect it. We only seek economy for the
poor men who dnd it hard to pay the
taxes on their houses.

Senator Carpenter docs not receive
much sympathy from the republican
organs in his desperately short condi-
tion. Even SO Jealous II supporter of
the administration as the st. Louis
Democrat hags him in this way: at is
sad to reflect that Carpenter gains
nothing in the senatorial fight in Wis.
consin. But then the republicans
gained nothing when they suffered
him, by caucus vote, TO fasten linn
self about the neck of of tho party. If
either the party or Matt. Carpenter
must drown, cut loose Carpenter by
all means"
The spirit that animates the black
legislator in his wise and beneficial
law-making, is aptly illustrated by a
speech OF one of these dusky patriots
in the Mississippi Legislature: i"Mr,
Speaker" said he, ode white folks
Owls de land" don't dey? and don't
we make dc laws? OATS what l ak
you. Now, Mr.. Speaker, if de white
folks owns de lan's and we makes de
laws, how we gwine TO live without
taxin' dc land? Dat's what Lax you. "

ICON SHIP BUILDING.
A NEW ESTABLISHMENT At BoRDEN-

A NEW ESTABLISHMENT At BoRDEN-
TOWN.
, An iron shipbuilding establishment
has been fixed at Bordentown, on the
Delaware river, which shows that the
. whole length OF the Delaware, rs far
as tidewater reaches. is available for
this business. This concern has an Of
flee in Philadelphia. No object in go
ing below the river can equal in i'm
portance the nearness of coal and iron
in going up the river. Hence the Read
ing Railroad Company established its
ship-yards mt Port Richmond rather
than at Chester. Bordentown is near
the iron regions of both New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, there being some
flourishing iron works near it inJersey
Supplies OF coal and lumber are also
available by water ut low rates. There
are now along the valley OF the Della
ware five iron slip yards, one at Phila.
delphia, one at Camden, one at Bor-
dentown, one ut Chester, and one at
Wilmington. The ice obstruction this
winter have so clearly demonstrated
the value of iron vessels of all kinds
worked by steam in keeping the navi-
CATION open that there ought to be u
large increase of them during the en-
suing season. From present appear
anccs the reputation of the Delaware
as the Clyde of America is now 50 well
established that II would not be at all
surprising if our Clyde were TO be
the original one in iron vessels. Such
Il winter us the present would have
effectually closed the navigation OF
the Delaware prior TO tleintroduction
of iron steamers. But now all our
stcamtugs are of iron, and are actually
better than the city ice-boats for open
ing the river All the ferry boats
ought to be rebuilt of iron and furnish
ed with powerful engines thus their
transit would be safer and quicker
The Telegraph seems not TO know
that there are ttcO large iron ship bull
ding establishment in Wilmington
which would make six on the Della !
ware. ED. GAZETTs.

Representation.

There never will be better oppor-
tunity for Kent and Sussex TO get rid of
the question of representation than is
now presented. Tho people of this
county do not expect them now to grant
representation according to population.
We see no use in asking it. 1t could
only be had through convention. The
Constitution formed in 1854 was voted
down by the people Oh the plea that it
did not grant representation according
to population. Another Constitution
might be voted down because it did grant
this. An increase now in both Houses
SO that the $4,000 people in Wilmington
HID. could be represented in both Houses.
would most likely put off the holding of
convention for twenty years, and recon
Gle the great mass Of both parties

The Lexington Ky) Dispatch
warmly urges upon Congress the re-
moval of the political disabilities of
Gen. John G. Brcckinridge, and the
Alexandria (Va) Gazette thus indorses
the suggestion: '"rhe people of the
South, and We believe a large majori-
ty at the North, would rejoice to see
the political disabilities of General
Breckinridge removed. A patriot,
statesmen, and soldier, he retains the
love and esteem of both sections of the
country, and the removal of the disa-
bilities imposed upon him would be
an act of generosity, tempered with
justice, that would be hailed with
general joy"

J. T. HBALD, Esq, and III. NJ. CHILD,
ESQ, both maintain that our reference
to them in the GAZETTE Of yesterday was
a Misrepresentation Of their remarks in
the Board Of Trade. That we wero slight
ly inaccurate, after more careful peru
sal OF what they were reported to have
said, we admit. This is especially SO in
the case OF MIR. Heald Nevertheless his
remarks were not clearly understood.
We have been told by some who were
presen. that they understood hi, re-
marks to be such as would bear the
construction that we gave them.
These gentlemen are engaged in the
real estate business. And the Registry
Bureau may be very fine thing for
them and some others. But so far az we
can learn the people do not wish to br
burdened with the expense.
