Tho Filthy streets.

We present in other columns this morn
ing additional reports from the inspectors
sent out by us to examine into the condi-
ton of the streets. The circuit embraced
by them is mainly confined to the eastern
section Of the city, where the population
il dense and the conditions of life for the
most part Unfortunate. It will be seen
from the statements of our agents that
the streets everywhere are in most
horrible condition that if the Street
Cleaning Bureau had been paid to
bring pestilence upon US instead of to
take measures to prevent one they could
not have better succeeded. Filthy matter
Of all descriptions has been allowed to &C
cumulate upon every hand; the places
which should receive most care are most
neglected. an appalling disregard Of life
and an outrageous neglect of duty are
manifested in every direction. In fact, so
far AS this part of the city is concerned, the
pretence Of street cleaning or the observance
Of proper sanitary conditions is a complete
mockery. There can be no question as to the
accuracy of the terrible record presented.
The most minute details are given, and
every resident in the localities described
is the witness to the fidelity and truthful
ness of what we print. If the amount
annually appropriated to keep our streets
and avenues cleaa were insufficient there
would be some excuse for the officials who
are intrusted with the work but it
is not. Nearly sixty thousand dol
lars q month are drawn from the city
treasury for the purpose. The question
arises, what becomes of it? Certainly it is
not expended in cleaning the streets, for
with the exception of the principal avenues
and the richer sections of the city they ore
not cleaned for days and weeks at time.
The Mayor has it in his power to remedy
the evil by removing the derelict officials !;
but experience shows that it is useless to
look for relief in that quarter. We shall
continue our reports in the hope Of
shaming the Street Cleaning Bureau into
discharge of its duty, although the hope is
q forlorn one.

of Collector Arthur they will be lukewarm
or neutral They know too well that
their official heads will drop into
the basket if they exert themselves
actively for Mr.. Conkling They
will stand aloof as spectators instead
of taking an active part in the canvass, as
they would. have done with zeal and pleas
ure if the national administration were
friendly to MIR. Conkling. The Senator is
too shrewd politician to have failed to Sc
cure the federal offices for his most
capable and devoted henchmen, and the
fact that their activity will be paralyzed by
the hostility of the administration makes
quite difference in his prospects. In spite
OF these adverse influences, Mr.. Conkling
is still stronger than any other New
York republican; but a very small adj
dition to the Hayes members of the As
sembly and to the democratic strength
by republican discussions would force him
out Of public life. He is politician Of
great resources, and his triumph will be all
the more respondent if he should be able to
cope successfully with both the Hayes OPP
position and the democratic party.
The reelection Of MIR. Conkling to the
Senate is the chief issue of the approaching
State canvass. The Tilden and anti-Tilden
quarrel in the democratic party will make
no figure in this election. The opponents Of
Mr.. Tilden seem likely to control the
democratic organization for this year
at least, and if he should recover his in
fuence it will be next year, when full
State ticket is to be elected. If, in conse-
quence OF republican schism, the DEM
ocrats should control the next Legislature
and elect the United States Senator, it is
altogether unlikely that Mr.. Conklings sue
cessor will be Tilden democrat. But SO
far as recent developments afford means of
judging we see no reason to distrust the
success Of Senator Conkling, although he il
not to hive the quiet walk over the course
which seemed probable three weeks ago.

TnE WEATIIrR.-The area Of high pressure
Middle Atlantic and New England States. The
high area that lay over the Gulf OF Mexico has
moved further south, and the pressure over that
district is only relatively high. The depression
that is over the Mississippi and Missouri valleys
~ commencing to extend its influence eastward
to the Ohio Valley and northern lake region. 1t
IL probable, however, that the advance of the low
area toward the Atlantic will be slow, and
that its storm centre will not be well marked
until it has passed over the central valley dis
tricts. Rain has fallen on the Atlantic coast
aud Gulf districts and the Northwest. 1t has
been heaviest in the latter section. Elsewhere
generally clear weather has prevailed. The
temperature has fallen in the Middle Atlantic
aud New England States and in portions of the
rcntral valley districts. II has risen in the
other sections, particularly in the Missouri and
Platte valleys, where it is very high. The winds
have been from fresh to brisk in the Northwest
and in the northern lake region. Elsewhere
they have been generally light. Local disturb
snccs will probably lie developed over the
northern lake regions during the next few days.
The weather in New York and its vicinity to-
day will be slightly warmer and fair or partly
cloudy, possibly with showers in the early part
of tho day Tomorrow it will bcsysrin and
partly cloudy or fair, followed towand night by
increasing cloudness and probably light rains.
