PRACTICAL REFORM.

NEW YORK. Jan. y2, 1871
To TEE Epiros THE HsgALp:-
In yesterdays issue you made the complimentary
remark OF Mayor Ely that agreeable surprise
to dnd man Mayor Of New York who dared to ex-
press the opinion that the city government could be
by single head in the various departments and
with one-half Of the present number OF officials.
tirey agree with you. but At the same time desire
ask you, What DO you think of Mayor who expresses
this opinion, yet, when It comes to putting II into
practical effect, his power against IT? have
right ask this question, for you did toward
making Smith Ely Mayor Of New York than any other
single power that know Of not excepting even Tam
many Hall herself Tammany's pwer would never
have elected him; the political graves OF Frederick L.
Smyth Peter b. 0lney and several others prove that
But IL was the indorsemeut OF the HERALD aided oy
the good opinion OF some OF the other papers, that
elected him, by controlling IN his favor the indcpcn-
dent vote, which still looks with suspicion upon
anything coming from Tammany Hall. At any rate,
caused me TO vote for him, and / believe
am pretty fair sample OF the independent voter
therefore repeat that believe have tue right 10 ask
you what do you think OF Mayor whose advocacy OF
economy and reform IS only his lips? But before
which prompt the question, SO here they are. The
Marine Court of this city has long been sort OF politi
cal hospital. where in years gone by Apollo Hail. but
Tammany Hall, could keep alive at tho public
expense a small army OF ward politicians. About tins
time year ago It proved by OF its clerks that
it had long been corrupt nes where from $50, 600
to 800 600 year stolen in the shape oi tees
which belong 10 the city. Through the negligence
ignorance of its judges its calendar is cogged with
some 5000 causes, half OF which, according TO
Justice Goepp, OF the same Court, have no hopes OF
being reached Yet this corrupt and inefficient
Court COSTS the city about S150,000 annually IL is
proposed to remedy all this In tins Legislature by
abolshing this Court and establishing IN iss stead
O .'City Court OF New York" which Will cost 200
less than the Marine Court, will be far more efficient
because OF the reforms It introduces. and Will be so
hedged round make stealing IN the Clerks Office
ineficency on its bench impossbility. This
tainy is emoodyng IN practical form al the good
things in radical reform that you say OF Mayor Ely;
yet when he approached, the head Of tho city
government give his endorsement to this reform ho
hesitated and like the who hesitates was lost.
Ho declined 10 give his aid to the reform NOtwith-
standing this, as ieel the bill will commend itself 10
good Judgment OF the Legislature and will become
law, his opposition not trouble those who
ccrely desire TO cut down expenses But mention II
that you and your large congregation of readers
not or with tho idea that Mayor Ely is such rud
ical rcormer until you have something further than
his word for II. Yours truly, AN INDEPENDENT

To THE EDITOR OF THE HKRALD:--
