The change IN the system Of poor
government, authorized by the Board
of Supervisors at its recent session, may
or may not prove a judicious one.
Much depends upon the manner in
which the business is transacted, and
this will be governed entirely by the
persons who have it in charge. If it
be true, as has been stated, that under
the old system, it cost % per cent. to
disburse the money, then. it would
seem as if a change were needed. But
care must be taken to not make a bad
matter worse, by adopting plan which
will entail greater expenditures upon
the people than formerly. Ii has been
suggested that the city should be con-
stituted district by itself and one
superintendent elected by the people,
having entire charge of the business
The objection to this plan is that there
will be too many expenses attending it.
The right man for the position would
pretty certainly not be elected. And
w.ta the wrong person invested with
the powers which belong to one acting
IN that capacity, the taxpayers certain
~ would have cause to regret that an
incapable, irresponsible agent had such
important matters in keeping. The
better way, in our opinion, is to adopt
the same system which prevails in the
towns. Let the supervisors of each
ward have jurisdiction In their own
precincts. In this way, less imposition
can be practiced than by having but
one superintendent for the whole city
who cannot possibly know the appli-
sants personally, and pass upon their
claims inteligently. Tie supervisors
of every ward will be able to decide at
once, when aid is solicited by one Of
their constituents, with whom they are
certain to be acquainted, whether or
not the case is one possessing merit.
They are interested, or should be at
least, in keeping down the expenses of
their respective wards to the lowest
figure; aud we are confident that more
economical add satisfactory results
would be secured this way than any
other.

Which Party Was Sold!

The Greenback organ 10 this city,
and the Democrat do not sing the same
tune with reference to the organization
of the Assembly, and each claims that
its party gobbled the other. While
the former boasts that ga. r.. Barrows,
and Greenbacke err was elected speak
err, u r. Hunter, and Greenback-
err was elected clerk, and canton
Klans, and a Greenbacker" was elected
Sergeant At-Arms, the Democrat
meekly and feebly protests that Bar
rows is "not even considered sound on
the initiation heresy," AID that the
Democrats out. witted the Graenback-
ers and secured the election of their
own men. While it may be true that
Barrows has played false with the
Greenbackers and professed to adhere
to their principles while betraying
them into the hands of the Democracy,
we do not believe it. nor has any 9th
or paper besides the Democrat, to our
knowledge, made any such pretence.
It is generally understood that the
Democrats personated Jonah il this
business, and the Greenbackers played
the role of the whale; and the impress
sion prevails in wel-informed political
circles that Jonah did not swallow the
whale, either.

New Jersey and Wisconsin DemOcra-
cy COntraSted.

New Jersey Democracy, and Wis
consin Democracy, seem to be consti-
tuted of different ingredients. Here
1T is of the soft-solder, clipped dollar
kind, and comprises the rag-tag and
bobtal OF every party which is anti
Republican. AS was seen in the or
ganlzation Of the present Assembly
the Democrats, Greenhackers and So
cialsts made common cause against the
Republicans, and the Democracy may
be said to have been swallowed up by
the other factions, and lost their exist
ence, They are at least committed to
the Greenback doctrine on the curren-
cy question, and will undoubtedly stand
or fall together upon that issue.
In New Jersey, the party occupies
different ground. The following brief
extract from Gov McClellan's inaugur.
al address, delivered on thee Is Inst.
shows the position of the Democracy OF
that state as regards the national fnanc
es. 1t will be observed that the senti-
ments are In marked contrast with
those of that party in Wisconsin upon
that subject:
AS the great object of all, it is our inter-
est hasten return of confidence security,
industry and prosperity to our Suffering
people. 1t is duly to express in the clear
est and most decided terms our Reproduction
of all attempts 10 violate the sacredneSs OF
obligations; to avoid The payment of any
portion of our just debts; 10 impair the ma
tlonal honor and credit; to decree or declare
by law that part OF a dollar shall be II
whole dollar. Ths re is probably no grave
objection to the reconciliation of silver
within proper limits--that is to say, making
ii a legal tender for small amounts, SO as TO
secure its use in small transactions, aud for
convenience in making change; but in this
event the silver dollar should certainly be
made equal. in present value AT least, to the
gold dollar If nothing is done TO impair
confidence in the national credit we are on
the road 10 prosperity, and legal tender pa
per money will soon be nearly at par and
specie. payments be practically resumed.
government which has legal tender coins
OF different and fuctuatlng Talues, and
avals Itself OF the fluctuations to the injury
OF It's creditors and to the benefit OF It's
treasury, becomes a SPECTATOR in the mar
ketS loses its character for honesty, and in
a pressing hour of need will be sure TO find
itself, like other distrusted spectators,
bankrupt and disgraced.

The latest advices from Madison
show that the Democrats have achieved
an additional trophy in their bargain
and sale with the hackers as TO
the organization Of the Assembly. The
first dividend declared in favor of the
Democracy did not pan out very favor
ably-two or three door keepers, like
number of gallery and committee room
attendants, and spit,oon cleaner or
two constituting the sum total of their
receipts in the division of the spoils.
They have now secured another prize,
and safely installed one of their faith
as proprietor of a peanut stand in the
lobby. it was this latter plum, we
suppose, which led the Democrat to
remark last week that "the result of
the bargain with the Greenbackers is
all that could be desired"

THE editor of the Democrat who
believes in a dollar worth 81 cents,
had nothing to say last week in favor
of his pet theory, but gave the other
editor who is in favor of dollar worth
100 cents, an opportunity to air his
views. AS a result, that issue of the
Democrat was sound upon the financial
question, land the advocates ofsoft money
and clipped coin were dealt some hard
knocks. Perhaps the 81 cent editor
has resigned his position upon the
paper and viii not be heard from.again.
However, the Democrat is such an un-
certain affair, and is so in the habit of
straddling the fence, and foppip 9 from
one side to the other, that it cannot be
relied upon, and too much constancy
must not be expected from it. But
let US hope for the best.

Attempted Democratic Bribery.

AT the same time that George B.
Smith, of Madison, went to Louisiana,
to secure "an honest count" in the pre-
sidential canvass a year ago, Manton
Marble, editor of the New York World
was despatched on similar errand to
Florida. Judge Samuel B. McLin,
of the latter state, who was one Of the
canvassing Board, has recently been
interviewed and makes some damaging
disclosures concerning Marble and his
Democratic associates. They were ex-
ceeding y anxious to have the vote of
Florida counted for Tilden, and at
tempted to bride the Board to crafty
their wishes in this respect. Judge
McLin states that Marble said to him
the nj ght before the Florida count
commenced : "If you will rise above
party, and vote to give the state to
Tilden, there is nothing within the
power of the Democracy that you can't
have" McLin says this is the only
offer, or anything Of that sort, that wys
made to him. We commend these
facts to the Jefferson Banner and Wa
tertown Democrat. with a suggestion
that they seem to have not exhausted,
in their previous articles upon the
subject, all the points i'll the case
They have been eloquent over alleged
Republican frauds; let them now favor
