A street Cleaning Movsm emit.

The resolution introduced by DR.. Hayes
in the Assembly requesting the Mayor,
President of the Board of Health and Com
missioner of Public Works to report plan
for the better cleaning of the streets of New
York was adopted yesterday. An amend
ment was offered aiding the names Of
Comptroller Kelly and Police Commissioner
Nichols to those mentioned in the resolu-
ton, but this was defeated, MIR. Alvord
designating it rs a Tammany and anti
Tammany fight. 1t would have been very
proper to have secured the Comptrollers
advice in such matter but the mention
of the name Of the present head OF the
Street Cleaning Bureau, under whose man
agement the business has been SO scandal
lousy neglected, was either sarcasm or an
absurdity. The fact is that our main trou-
BILE in the Street Cleaning Bureau, as in
many other departments, is this Tam
many and anti-Tammany fight, and it is
scandalous to think that the people are de-
prived of wholesome laws and honest, eff
cient government, in consequence Of these
contemplate political squabbles and jeal-
ousies.

Ex-Secretary Bristow was pleasantly en-
teltained in Boston last evening by couple
of hundred excellent gentlemen who are
generally called the "solid men" of the
New England. capital There was big
dinner, and of course there were speeches,
the speech of the guest being, in an oratori-
cal point Of view. the feature Of the even
ing. AS may be supposed, Mr.. Bristow
spoke strong, earnest words in favor of an
honest currency and in condemnation of the
demagogues who are endeavoring to array
class against class and section against Sec
ton in their idiotic advocacy of financial
theories which have not the shadow Of o
shade of common sense to rest upon. The
remainder of Mr.. Bristow's speech was de-
voted to civil service reform, the banner Of
which some years ago he rather ostenta-
tiously bore from one end of the
country to the other. This portion Of
the ex-Secretary's speech is somewhat
curious. While commencing President
Hayes for his efforts in the good fight, which
the Kentucky statesman likened to the old
anti-slavery battle, he dropped some sly
illusions, which, to the malicious at least,
will appear keen thrusts at the Presidential
policy. In view Of some of the Presid ent's
appointments in the South the remark
that the party which had votes suf-
ficient to elect President had
certainly men enough to fill the Offices can
bear but one Interpretation. The most i'm
portant part Of this portion of the speech is,
perhaps, the writing between the lines He
says as plainly as he can say it that if Bris-
tow is ever President only Bristow republi-
cans will be put on guard. Massachusetts
at Cincinnati gave Mr.. Bristow a pretty
strong support. Does ne dream that she
will be as loyal to him in the future ?

Pun fshment OF Black IA a fl I'M q.

A correspondent makes what seems to rs
valuable suggestion in relation to the pro-
lection of society against one OF its most
odious and loathsome pests He advises
such an amendment Of the statute relating
to attempts to extort money by threats as
will bring within it's scope a large class of
offences Of this kind which are now COM
mitted with IMMUNITY. No part OF the COM
munity is so careful and alert in spying out
defects in the criminal law as those who
seek to live by crime, and the sharp wits of
knave enable him to invent methods
to circumvent the law without ex-
actly transgressing it. Blackmailing, be-
sides being one of the most gainful OF crimes,
is the one which can be most safely perpe-
trated by an ingenious and inscriptions
person who has informed himself Of the
precise state Of the law. "All that man
hath will he give for his life" said Satan
when he was accusing Job but those odious
disciples of Satan, the blackmailers, act on
the maxim that all that man or woman hath
will they give for their reputation. The
artful blackmailer does not need to make
threats; it suffces to signify to his intended
victim that he is in possession of awkward
secrets. If there are really any facts the
|. merest insinuation suffices to excite in SEN
sitive natures morbid terror of ex-
posure and to put the victim in the
power of crafty scoundrel without any
violation by him of the present law
The same method may be equally
effective when practised on innocent
persons whom accident has thrown into cir
cumstances which admit of an evil though
false Interpretation. 1t is humiliating Tor a
woman to be forced TO make explanation OF
things which devilish ingenuity might
twist into reflection on her honor, and
mud of that kind is so liable to stick when
once thrown that many persons of both sexes
would prefer to purchase silence, though
perfectly innocent, rather than suffer from
the license Of wicked tongues. The in
discretions of youth committed in distant
years, or business entangements from
which extrication was found by questionable
means, or temporary business embar.

THE WEATHER.--The conditions prevailing
west of the Mississippi Valley this morning do
not suggest any modification OF our cautonary
announcement Of yesterday. They indicate the
approach Of n disturbance of considerable cx-
tent, and which, ut the present time; seems to
have assumed the character ola depression with
two distinct storm areas. One of these, the
most northerly, is moving slowly over South
srn Dakota, and is irregular in outline, with
marked variations Of temperature and wind
force attending it, The contrasts presented by
the latter are very noticeable The southern
area Of disturbance is advancing from Texas,
and the pressure has fallen decidedly in tho
Lower Mississippi Valley and rapidly over Texas,
with rains. The probability of these two de-
prcssons coming in contact over the Mississippi
Valley within the next twenty-four hours
Is strong. A barometrc trough will be
formed, extending from the upper lakes
10 the Gulf, and this will gradually
shorten from the southwark in length, probably
developing cyclonic storm, with rains and
snow, in the region between Tennessee and the
lower lakes and Upper Missouri Valley. The
movement of the storm centre will then be
northeasterly over the lakes into Upper Canada,
and thence in the same direction to the Labrador
coast. 1t will be followed by rapidly rising ba-
rosncter and falling temperature. The highest
pressure east of the Mississippi is at present over
the Middle and New England States and Lower
Can66s. While the temperature continues low on
the Middle and East Atlantic coast, Canada and
the regions northward and westward OF the up
per lakes, it has risen decidedly in all the West

.ricts. The weather in New York and its vicinity
.o-day will be warmer and fair or partly cloudy
followed tonight by threatening increase Of
cloudness and wind force. Tomorrow the
weather will probably be cloudy and warm.
