AN IMposfTIcN.-Th is much complaint
among the citizens generally as to the d!srlbu
ton of the wood purchased by the Corpora
siou for the use OF the poor. Nearly all oil Ii
has been obtained by idle negroes, who Impose
on the Oyerscers OF the Poor with speclous
tales OF poverty sod suffering, while they re,
,'use work when offered to them. Every day
th., police station Is beseised by mob OF
thes,, people, of all ages aud conditinns, clam.
oriur .'or wood. Several Of them, wher talked
to by the police, have impudentl y answered
that The wood was bought by the govern,
mept'' for t.1eir benefit, aud that the policemen
had nothing to do with ii. The Uversecrs OF
the Poor are paid nothing for their services,
ard consequently cannot afford to neglect their
private business and investigate each case;
therefore they have TO rely 90 the statements
eff the parties themselves. An instance OF the
lriaiBg character Of these negroes |as lur-
nished at the station house yesterday, when
gang Of them who were waiting Tor wood were
offered a load each provided they would go to
work and assist in clearing the Ice from the
crossings and cutters. but which proposition was
unanimously refused.

THE QUO WARRANTO.

This legal process once in such Demo-
cratic demand for the suppression of the
United States Bank, seems to excite at
tention as means to repeal the executive
commission. How any other coordinate
department of the government can assume
judicial authority over the electoral choice
of the people or States we can not see, but
the singular success of the Democracy in
finding expedients and tribunals for the
defeat of Republican incumbents, leads
US to suppose that this ancient and reput-
able common law process may be made
to play its part in future attempts at con-
quest or compromise. OF one thing the
Republicans at Washington and elsewhere
at the North may rest assured, that the
Democracy acknowledges no obligation to
abide by the executive status quo We
have already quoted Democratic declara-
tons that the abandonment of Louisiana
and South Carolina was but just tribute
to the rights of those States for which the
government could claim no more merit
than for having done its duty in any other
case. The experience of Louisiana in
respect to these compromises may be of
some consequence to our Republican
friends elsewhere. Some years since the
Democratic members of the Legislature
would not take their seats with the Re-
publicans upon the allegation that the
executive government was illegal A
compromise was effected under which the
Democrats acquired a majority in the
House of Representatives. Notwithstand-
ing the acceptance of seat in the Legis-
lature was an acknowledgment of the au-
thority under which the election had been
held notwithstanding that the Democratic
representatives in Congress and the Dem
ocratic city administration of the period
had accepted commissions under the con-
troverted authority of Republican exc
cutive, the Democratic majority proceeded
to exhibit articles of Impeachment against
the executive whose assent had been
necessary to the compromise. We even
see the Picdyltne, which was one of the
authors of the compromise, now claiming
to have been the advocate of the impeach-
ment under the compromise. Let not our
friends anticipate that the Democracy who
accepted the compulsory abdication of
Chamberlain and Packard, will consider
that they are thereby bound to respect
the legality of the Federal executive,
whose acts were indispensable to this in
terregnum. They will take all the adj
vantages of that act to strengthen them
selves for assault with that terrible pro-
cess of the common law-the writ of quo
lodYranto.
