THOSE NUISANCEB.

The communication in yesterdays DEMO
Graf In relation to the rapidly increasing
number OF houses OF bad repute and their In
vasion OF the best portions OF this city de-
serves and should receive the prompt atten-
ton of the police authorities. It Is intoler-
able that these dens should be permitted to
cast their baleful shadows In the very heart
OF tho resident portion Of this city, and their
delegation to remote and less respectable
neghborhood Is imperatively demanded by
every consideration Of public morals and
pub..iie deeency. The police know, or should
know, the location Of every one OF thess
houses they know tho names OF the people
who keep them, and have surveillance OF the
premises The police, therefore, can and
should cause their Immediate abatement.
When complaint is made to the city authori-
ties, there can be no action taken unless upon
the affidavit Of three citizens that the
particular house referred To is nuisance,
gentlemen willing to face the notoriety con-
sequent upon tstking such public action; nor
is It necessary, for the public can readily close
up any establishment Of the kind. SO many
complaints have been made OF this growing
evil that we are constrained to take the mat
ter up, disagreeable as It is, and urge upon
the authorities prompt and decisive action.
It Is the duty Of the police to keep record OF
all such places, and we have no doubt that
duty Is performed, hence there is no diff
Guilty in determining the location OF each OBJ
jectionable house. The DEMOCRAT will cheer
fully assist the police in tho performances OF
this necessary matter bv publishing q list Of
the houses and their location, aud we shall
pursue this matter aggressiyely until reform
has been effected which shall satisfy the very
reasonable demand OF the public, and es-
pecally of those 1-ost nearly affected by the
evil complained OF.
The efforts OF the police In this matter will
be strenuously assisted by the DEMOCRAT,
and we call upon them to exercise the power,
which Is unquestionably theirs, of abating
ing incalculable injury and becoming every
day more and more bold and aggressive and
shameless. Some OF the fairest portions OF
the city are cursed by these moral ulcers, and
their elimination thcrefrom cannot be too
suddenly effected.

There was another days racing yesterday
at the Brighton beach course, or rather the

APPLY Called for tho average has been two
horses per week killed during the season.
Yesterday was another fatal day, and the
popular old horse Egypt was the latest vic
tim. The poor horse fell In the first race,
and was terribly mangled by Lillian jumping
upon him, a piece OF the shoulder-bone four
inches long being cut up as If 1t had been
done with a saw. The sight was sickening.
and the most hardened in the crowd that
surrounded the horse turned away as a
policeman sent friendly bullet into his
brain. Egypt was known to every one who
had visited race track, as he was an old
campaigner. He started about thirty times
this season and won about half OF them. He
was always hard to beat at q mile and was
as sound when he first appeared on the track
yesterday as on the day he was foaled. On
Tuesday last Loiterer was killed here, and on
Thursday Corela had his leg broken and
Mark l.. was untitled for racing, and other
horses have been famed and bruised This Ia
lamentable record of the week only, and II
the average keeps up there will be but few
horses left to furnish betting men n chance to
feed the pool-boxes and faLten the treasury OF
their owners.

fine batting and were beginning to bid their
opponents goodbye when darkness came.
The game stood at the call: Lamothes IL, w.

hits that have caught the heart and mind of
the English theatre-eoers. Up to this time
the people of New Orleans have not had 4

operate gem which, outside OF local hits, is
filled with the sweetest and most artistic

ToWBoAT TOPICS.

The reduction In tho price Of tGwage Of 50
per cent, inaugurated by Capt. Joe Cooper, has
had the effect Of stirring up the associated
towboat companies, and healthy rivalry has
commenced, which may possibly result ad-
vantageously. In the meantime the attempt
ut reformation liz beset with no little difficulty.
Capt. Cooper has his hands full or engage
nlents, but is not allowed the use OF the tele-
graph lines, which are controlled by the ASSOC
citation. This is the occasion OF some embar-
rassment, but the merchants seem intent as
much as possible to support the effort made
by Capt. Cooper to reduce tho price,

CITY RAILROAD FRANCHISES.

There was rumor, which seemed to have
more the appearance Of truth than those
usually floating around, to the effect that the
arrangements between the City Council and

and franchises Of the roads now controlled Ivy
them, had been perfected.

. PLUMBER and Sanitary Engineer
Two thousand deaths from scarlet fever
last year in New York is what Prof. Chandler
lately reports-equal to the total mortality
from yellow fever in the whole Union last
year. This Is not O. pleasant statement TO re-
fleet upon. Our public schools must he held
responsible for a large share of the propaga-
tion of this dreadful malady. 1t is signih-
cant feet that rs soenas the public schools are
closed Tor the summer vacation the mortality
from scarlet fever diminishes. 1t continues at
low rate through the summer, but with the
reopenlng OF the schools the death rate rises
again, and soon assumes high average. The
pIu..cut COURSE pursued b. the Brooklyn
health board in preventing convaescent chill
dren from attending school until they have
fully recovered. and of forbidding public fu-
nerals In all cases Of contagious diseases has
been productive OF excellent results The
sources OF scarlet fever are less understood
than they should be, and 1t seens an imputa-
ton upon the Intelligence of both our SANTA
rtans and physicians that means for its better
prevention have not been devised.

WE FIND that there is a great differ
ence of opinion among our citizens as to
the necessity of using the whole basin
square of ground at Tenth and Market
for the county buildings. In fact we
learn that the City Council did not ex-
pect that the Levy Court would take the
whole square, and had designated on the
plot sent them Of the square lot 200 feet
square, which it was supposed would be
sufficient. That would be almost twice
as much ground as is covered by the
Clayton House. But it appears that the
Levy Court have accepted of the whole
square, not excepting the buildings. Per
h"ps, however, they will only use 50 much
OF 1t as their architect, whoever he NAV
be, will propose, and return the balance

about the buildings yet. 1t is presumed

The NEGRO EXopUs-A CRUEL
SCHEME TO FLEECE TIE NEGRnEs.-Ir
now appears fIom ali article in the To-
peka (kansas) Commonwealth, of April
Vh, mat the negro exodus from the States
Oh Louisiana and Mississip., /, owes its
origin to circular that was secretly sent
into those States and placed in the hands
OF negroes, urging them to 90 to Kansas
where each family would be given sixty
acres Of land. This cruel hoax was not
discovered in time to prevent the emigra-
tlon Of thousands of poor negroes, whom
1t informed were to be re-enslaved in the
States where they lived if they remained
there. The Commonwealth is Repub-
hcan paper, and the article, which we
copy elsewhere, says the perpetrator O,
the fraud has not yet been discovered
that the design Of those who committed
1t was no doubt to get money from the
poor deluded negroes and that a large
amount had already been obtained by
certain parties in small sums for informa
