I COMAN, S71 West Sadisan b, P07 OF adros The Chicags Teibune, Bunday Morning, August 24, 1873, SENATOR MORTON ON INCORRUFTION. Beonator Morton, of Indiann, undoubtedly posressos moro “ cheolt " than any other public mau alivo, Bon Buler not eoxcopted. Ho bo- longe to tho prize-ring of Amorican politics, and, sinco tho doath of Douglas, he has hadno . equal for audacity, combntivoncss, unscrupu- lousnces, logleal forco, and sophistical cunuing. At tho presont timo ho is acoredited with tho desiro to bo nominated for the Prosidency in 1876, and to bo opposed to tho third-term principlo, In his spoech at Athens, Ohio, yesterday, ho did not deliver any opinions on this question, but he afiirmed broadly and upon his honor as n Bonator that tho tato of purity iu political affairs and public administration is higher and moro refined in this country to-day thau it over was bofore in any part of the world. This is onoof thoso startling nssumptions for which Mr. Morton is remowned. Wo are bound to say that, from an artistio poiut of viow, wo admiro the offrontery of the man who could utter such @ sontiment without & blush, ‘According to Mr, Morton the Ropublican party haa been advane- ng in rectitudo aud high-mindedness in its man- sgoment of public businoss, until it has well nigh put on incorruption. It is in a fit atate to bo translated to Heavon without death. REVERDY JOHNSON'S VIEWS OF THIRD- TERM POLITICS. Roverdy Johnson has givon the correspondent of the New York ferald his views on Cranriem and Cwear with a frankuoss and force quite his own, That Genoral Grant wants to be Prosi- dent another torm, he is certain, Hia lovo of mionoy, which haa beon so Liappily charnoterized by the formera of Iroquois County, Il as ‘‘a morbid avarice,” My, Johnson believes to bo hia ruling motive, and ono that is of itself enoigh to induco him to seck to retain & “ siluation which he has made 8o profitable as the Presi- dency. He would have vetoed the salary-grab bill if he could havo got, beforchand, the assurance Bio sought that his own salary would bo incronsed without reference to those of Congressmen. T'his nssurance was not forthcoming, and he ap- proved tho grab by wholesalo rathor than loso his owu sliaro. Thoso things show, in Mr. John- mon's view, tbat ho would unecrupulously use all the machivery of the Govern- ment to achicve a third nomination and clection. But thoe olection and the nom- ination are two differont things, Party machin- ory makes the first practically o suro thing ; tho reserve powor of tho popular common gense may be trusted to defeat the second. Thore is no written constitutional inhibition of a third term, but there is in the minds of the peuplo an un- written detestation of tho idon w] is deopor and strongor than mere onactmont, and makes the suggostion of eleoting any mun to threo terms abhorrent to the peoplo. Mr, Johmson decleres .that he would not vote for Washington for a third term if ho wero living to-dny. On the whole, ho does not think Grant's chanees for o third term amount to much. The Ropublican politicians daro not ad- voeate it, for thoy know thatit would drive thousands of good Republicaus into the opposi- tion ranks. Besides, thore are many Republican leaders who have ambitions of their own to farther, and who will in all ways seek to provent Grant’s renomination. Of all theso ho thinks Mr. Blaino has the best chanco in 1876, a8 ho camo out of the Credit Mobilier clean, and has & good record. AMERICAN TRAVEL IN EUROPE, Somo timo siuce, Tur TRIBUNE printod a com- parison of pricos between & trip across tho Ameriean Continent and o visit to Europe occus pying the same time. Tho showing was decidedly in favor of tho European visit. There was elight difference in the cost of the two excursions, and the sum of comforts and enjoyments largely woighed down tho balanco on the European sido. U'he extont of American travel in Europo during the present summer indleates that a sim- ilar process of eoxamination bas boen made by o vory largo number of poople, not ouly in comparison with the popular trip to Cal: ifornia, but afao with (ko fashionablo sumumnor sejourns at favorite watering-places. The num- bor of pussengors who have eailed for Europe from New York alone during the pust three mouths exceods by soveral hundreds the num- ber who salled during the corresponding thrae months of Inst yoar, A similar inorcnse has probably taken place at the. other American ports from which rogular passenger-atenmors leavo. ‘Iliore aro now fourteon rogular Atlantic Steamuship Companies in oporation between Naw York and Europo, hosides those botwoon Europo and Boston, Philadelphis, Baltimore, and Now Orleans. All of the Inttordo u good ‘business, tho Cunarders alone which sailed from Boston having taken away 859 cabin-passongers otweon April Oand July 9 of this year, Tho vumber of passougors who sailed from Now York within that timo woro 18,693, aud probably the whole number of European excurslonfats who lott tho country during thoso three months ronchod a total of 25,000. The hoegiva did not stop, of courso, early in July, but all the steam- ers havo beon equally crowded sinco that timo, It is not improbable thot 40,000 Ameri- cons have loft for Europo during what may bo called the summor soason, in addition to those who started earlior. OF thoso, tho citios of Now York, Doston, and Chicage bave furnished considerably moro than their proportion, ‘The growing custom of eponding American vacations in Lurope is worthy of encouragement. The time has passed long mince whon it was necessary to make proparations for o long sojourn whonever tho Atlautic is crossed. Throe mionths, and oven two months, sufiico to acquire agood dosl of juformation mnd ploasure ina foreign trip, 1f the timo is properly distributed, Muuy familios are accustomed to devoto this much of every year to vacation, If thoinsane i ef¥ort to see all that ia to bo seon in Europo in one visit bo sbandoned, and a sorios of visits to differont plncos substitutod (Just ns Bratogn in visited ono yoar, Nowport anotlier, Long Tiranoh another, and 80 on), tho full bonefit of Europe- an voyages to mind and hody can bo obtained without dovoting moio than bwo or throo montha ab o time to the purposo. It is not moro oxpon- sivo to spond on buard o steamor the thnoe ocou- plod in crossing tho Atlantio than to pnsg the sumo amount of timo at a fashionablo ro- sorb or n travel at homo, 'Tho aver- ago cost of travel and living on a first-clags oconn Atonmer doos not exceed §10 o doy, which likewiso roprosonts about tho cost of cconomloal travel at liomo. For this thoro aro oxcollent nccommodations and o tablein evory way oqual to that of a first-class motropol- itan hotel., Lato Improvoments in Atlnntic stosmors locato tho cabing in euch s woy that thero are annyu‘ light and ventilntion, and tho loast possiblo motion, The large saloon on the main deck strotches ncroes: tho entire w!dth of tho stonmor amidehips, and tho stato-rooms front on i, though separated from it, both forward and aft. Tho benefits of an ocean- voyage in comfortable swrreundings oxcoed thoso of any resort on land in the caso of most porgons. Even soa-sickness iu sald to havo contingent salutary valuo, and, while thore aro comparatively fow porsons who suffor continu- ously, tho frosh air, which is at tho highest state of purity in mid-ocean, is invigorating sud lhenlth-giving to all. If travol and natural scene- ry aro sought, tho tour of the British Provincos 18 dolightful, Thero are no countrlos moro boautiful than England and Ircland, Bwitzor- lond, or the Bouth of Franco, or the Rhine, or tho Hartz Mountains, can ho dono thoroughly and with enjoymont in s summor's vacn~ tion. Tho only orror to bo avoided is that of trying to do too much and seo too much in the allotted time. If city-lifo is pro- forred, thoro is 1o time of yoar so favorable for visiting London and Patis a8 tho summor, What s known as tho *London soason” oceurs in summor. Tho opera and the theatros aroat thoir bost, and tho hotols aud tho putks put on thoir featival attire. Both London snd Paris have tho most delightful and most couvonient rosorts. For London thero aro Hyde Park, Kow Gardons, Kousington, Bydenbsm,and so forth; for Paris aro Vorsailles, 8t. Cloud, tho Bois, Fontainobleau, Asniores, and manifold other bronthing-places. The art-trossures and muse- uma of both bitios arc open at all timoes. A month in Paris, a mmi!h,gx) Lepndon, and o month going and coming, mako up as dolightful o summer-va- cation as could be projected. The increndo in American travol in Europe has baon so large as to itduce the Saturday Re- wiew to discuss it with roforonco to its mfluenco ou tho vested right of Buglishmon to thoe formor monopoly of Continontal tours. It complaing thet American tourists Lavo raised tho prices evorywhore. Wo do not think thnt the chargo can bo suatamed 8o far as it affects Englishmon. Itis truo that Americans abrosd arc, a8 & rule, lavih with their monoy. Most of them, wo may even admit, spend money foolishly, and bave in this way oncouraged the riso in prices, which Las beon tho tondoncy for many yoars pnst. Dut this vory lavishness is the moans for keeping tho Americans and English apart. Tho avorago Cocknoy ou tho Contiuent is tho picturo of par- simony. Alargo proportion of tho Englishrmon who go abroad are actuated as much by motives of economy a8 o dosire for travel, information, or pleasure. The Englishman with a emall income, and no businoss or profession, can live more cheaply on the Conti- nent than he ecan at homo, and, on this account nlone, he frequently tokes up his residonco in Franco or Gormany, indulg- ing in occasional travel. The pursuit of pleasuro at any cost of money, on tho part of Americans, and the pursuit of economy at any cost of pleasure, on the part of the English, naturally keep thom apart, and ono class really exerts vory littlo influonce on the othor. Though speaking the same languago, the intel- ligont Fronch or Gorman hotel-keopor, or rail- way-guard, or shop-girl can toll tho Amorican and Englishman apart at s moro glance. How- ever foolish Amorican travelors abrond may be with their money, they ara not, thorefors, likely to affect tho conditiona or chargoes in the case of traveling Englishmon, for their lines of travel are, financially and socially speak- ing, in different dircctions, The purposo of the Salurday Review, in ostimating tho influence of American travel abroad, was to got in the tra~ ditional and conventional sucors, For instance, tho usual objection to the nasal uttorances of Amoricaus is commonted upon at longth, A Chicago gentleman of education snd culture, who hag recently returned from a tour of Great Dritain, enys that e could talk Irish in Ireland and Scotch in Scotland, and fonnd hiz only difii- cuity in talking English in England, Wo are not altogother suro that it was his fuult. Whatever tho faults or follics of Americans on tho conti- nent may bo, thoy are botter thought of than the othior people who spoak the samo langunge. BOCIAL VEXATIONS, In one of his rocont eskays on soclology, Her- bert Bpencer lays down us & priuciple that ono has only to observe human action nt every turn to discover that avorage human intelligenco is incapable of guiding conduct in vory simple mat- tors, and then goow on to illustrato by facts in ovoryday oxperience, A person rises in tho morning and takes & vial containing a tonio. After ho has counted the requisite number of dropa, other drops run down the vial and are wasted, bocauso it has not boon constructed with & lip, which would savethom. At broakfast, he uses bottlo of sauca for his flsh and finds it sticky, bocauso tho sauce has run down its eido for tho same rcagon ueabove, Mo sits down bofore tho firo, aud, wisbing to roplonish it, pioks up & piaco of coal with tho tongs, which Immediately slips ont, bocauso the tongs are made emooth and willnot hold it. 1o com- mences to read his nowspaper, and scon finds out that his chair is not an essy one, because it Lns not beon constructed with roferonce to an oven distribution of tho woight of tho body; and o on [indefinitely, ‘Whoreupon Mr. Bpencor theorizos that, even aftor throe thousand years of clvilization, wo do not apply any thought to the simple matters of lito, 3 This deduction of the great social philosopher ia both correct and incorrect, 1t iu just such a deduction as a philosopher might bo oxpected to mako sitling in hls oasy-ohair in his library, speculating upon vials, enuce-hottlos, | tongs, and olinirs, elovutod above tho plaue of ordinary mortals, espocially of those hurried mortals who make and uso thoso articles evory dayof their lives, aud haven't time to stop and think about thom,—why thoy are made, how thoy are made, or whether thay could bo mado hot- tor, It might bo easy to reply to the itluetrativo sido of his nrgumant by showing that, with propor earo, no drops wonld bo wasted from tho vinl; thot tho neat famlily never hos n stloky annco-bottle on the tablo; that tongs are made with rough poiuts to hold conl, in this country ntloast; and.that, if Mr. Bpencer has gob smooth pair n his houso, Lo is behind fhe timos; and tho samo of ensy chnirs, which are | . mado nowadays with such direct referonco to comfort that n man may staud on his head iu thom nud still bo at onso. Mr. Bponcor's argnmont, howevor, suggosts gotno gonornl facts which may bo prosented ag apologatic for the incapncity of tho avorago in- telligonco to furnish a comploto gulde in simplo mattors. A lnrge part of lifo, or of tho dally operations of lifo, must bo nocossarily in tho naturo of routine. Mistakes in small mattors aro handed down from gonoration to generation and kopt In oxistonco, bocauso it is impossiblo for mankind to porfect tho largor mattors, which" sroof tho first importance, and somo of which aro imporatively necessary to existonco. It is moro important, for instanco, to porfoct linos and mnots for catching flsh, to provido tho markets for their salo, to bulld vos- 86ls for tho flshormon, &o., then to mave o fow drops of sauco to ont on the flah, Itis much moro important to porfoct tho machinery aud mothods of mining conl, and to provide a supply and markot it, than it is to construat a pair of tongs which shall be able to hold a lump of it ; and so on in cach illustration which Mr. Bponcor makes, A¢ long ns thoso weightior mattors crowd thomselves forward for regula- tion, the littlo matters will bo allowed to run on in tho old ruts, espocially whon the old rats do not involve any specinl hardship or discomfort. As clvilization advances theso large demands also ndvanco with equal paco. In this condition of =affairs, how {8 o man who has to provide broad aud Dbutter for his family to look after taxos, msscsemonts, and insuranco; to regulato tho complex mnchinory of his businoss; to seo that his noighbora do not cheat him ; to fulfill cortain imperative social obliga- tions ; to develop and sustain schomes of phi- lanthropy; tosupport the Oburch; totako carc of his body agninst the ravages of diseaso and the chauces of accidonts, and to keep himsolf out of the Btato Prigon—how hna such & man timo to attond to tho minor dotails of life, or why shoutd he caro whother tho onds of his tongs aro rough or smooth, or whother the fish-sauce gots sticky on his bottle? Ho socs that thoso littlo matters run emoothly enough in their ruts, and, with o profound sense of thaukfulness that tho ruts havo been provided, ho allows them to kecp on runnng, just as his father and grandfather did bofore him, and gives his attontion to the largor matters, which must bo attended to, and yot not ono of them has over been porfected. Thero is suothor view of this matter to bo taken. Tho great majority of people don't caro for thoso littlo details, Thoy havon't timo to be sybaritic, evon if thoy wero so disposed. There aro thousands of peoplo who don’t want the now- fangled notions, the visla and sauce-hottles ‘with lips, or tho tongs with points. They would rathor have the old ones. They would rather endure the old discomforts to which they have boon acoustomed thau to be bored with lonrning how to uso tho now. Most men are thauke ful cnough to got thoir bottle of fish- sauce, and tho flsh to eat it on, with- out bothering themselves over the fow drops that stain the Inbel. What he lacks in convenience ho makes up in hoppiness, The most unbappy man in the world is tho mnan who is always looking to see if the ends of his tongs are rongl or the fish-sauco bottle cloan, Tho ovor-fastidious man is subjected to a constant sories of petly discomforts, for tho iotal do- pravity of iunnimato thiugs is maiuly character- istio of littlo things, o loug, thoreforo, us mon s happy in keoping the little affairs of lifo in thoir ruts, why cloud Lis happinoss by sug- gosting to hum that he had bettor close up tho ruts and ostablish new chanuels for his medi- cine-bottles, fish-suce, tongs, and casy chairs, especinlly when tho day is not long engugh to attond to tho largo nocossitics, which destroy some peoplo and distract all ? o 1t in tobe prosumed that, in the sorene heights of philosophy whore Mr. 8pencer dwell, elovated far above the din and turmoil, tho cares aud dis- tractions, of tho ordinary world, ho has neither largo cares nor: little cares to troublo him. Ho bas not to take hood what lio shall eat or drink, nor wherowithal Lo shall bo clothed. Io has nothing to do but to spin his philosophic webs aud drean dreams of a stato of socinl porfection, and wonder that tho dolving, sweating, toiling milllons, who can't {ind time oveun to pray, do not see how beautiful theso dreams aro, and at onco quit everything eclse for the dovising of optimistio tougs and Utopian fleh-sauce bottles, It ia possl- Dblo that, in somo futurs Utopla, his ideas of so- cinl perfection may Lo renlized, and that the hu- muon race may live in - housos built after Ruskin, and furnished aftor Hamorton ; that they may bo clothed in D'Orsny pattorns and fabrics; that thoy may have tongs and bottles of the Bponcer fashion; that there will be no lnrge troubles, und thnat tho littlo onos will all move like clock-work; but, &0 long a8 poor-houses sud ponitontiarios are necessary; 8o long ns robberies, defaleations, ox- plosions, and railroad collisions will happon ; so long us tho broad-and-butter problom starcs overy man in the faco ; eo long as *‘the hoathen raga and the poople imagine a vain thing ;" so long us it is hard to got tho almighty dollar, Mr. Spencer's Utopin Is an air-castio too elovated, too fragile, and too beautiful for tho nvorage mortal to dwell in, Mankind, we foar, will still continuo to distross Mr. Spencer, in his airy hoights, by belug thankful for the fsk-sauco, without too closoly questioning the fushion of the bottle.

Tho history of this man is an amalgamated rocord of personnl monnnoss, dopravity, vanity, dvarico, and imbeellity. During the roign of the Firat Napoleon, tha roigning Duko, Froderick Willlam, waa driven out of Brunswick, and his dominions tranaforred to tho now Kingdom of Westphalin, ovor which Joromo Bonaparto was made King. o wae n grent soldier, and was killed at Quatro Bras the day bofore tho buttlo of Waterloo, Juno 10, 1816, Ho lott two eons, Oharles William and Augustus Louis, whoso mothor had died bofora them. Charles William was placed, by tho will of his father, undor tho guardianship of Goorgoe tho Fourth of England, who was thon. Prince of Walos. He roigned in Brunswick under o rogemcy until ho attsined his majority, in 1825, whon ho roigned in porson. Tho boy was naturally bad,—mesn, sordid, cruol, and gonerally violous,—and the man was no im~ provement on the boy. During the rogenoy, his worso traita woro supprossod, 8o far as the Gov- ornment was concerned. Aftor becoming Duko, ho gavo himaelf to unrestrainod personal liconse. Ho traveled, but lonrned nothinggood. Return- ing to Brunawick, he sot himsolf up 08 an abso- luto tyrant, adding privato debauchory to politi- cal dospotism, It did not take long to alionate tho poople, nor to destroy tho respect of those who would have alded him. Tho popular feoling which oxpolled the Fronch King in 1830 waa rife all over Europe, and oaficvlully in Brunswick, and in 1829 tho Gorman Diot was compolled to interposo to restrnin lue oxcosses. Tinolly, in 1830, ho was deposed, nnd doclared unflt fo reign. Mo loft Brunswick, and his younger brothor, Augustus Louis, haas boen recognized as Duko sinco thon. Charles spent somo yoars appoaling to England nnd to other Powers to intoerfore for his restoration, but finally abandoned oll hopo, Hoe has sinco thon lived in London, Paris, and Goueva, having princely residences at ench place. Ho inhoritod vast wonlth from his fathor, and hias made it productivo during tho forty-threo years that have Intorvened sinco his dismiganl from Brunswick. His spoclal fancy was tho ac- quisition of diamonds, which he carried to such an oxtent that ho hos been styled the *King of Diamonds.” Ho was vainof his collection, which Lie hins beon accustomed todisplay onall occasions —in Paris, London, aud olsewhero, Though ex- coedingly ostentatious in tho display of bhis woalth, aud especially of dismonds and jewels of all kinds, ho was, in his personal dealings, so monn thet tradesmon avoided his custom. ITo nover mado & purchase without haggling at the prico, and never paid a bill without trying to have it reduced. Tho very procautions ho took to provent oxtortion probably provoked it, and that ho was often cheatod is probably true, but the fact won for Lim no sympathy. He nover married. Ho was too selflsh to dosiro o wite, and tog contomptiblo and dograded to Lo sought aftor by any person of ronk. While hia collootion of dismonds was the grand gratification of his protractod yoars, it wss at tho eamo time & source of ondloss misery and approhonsion, Ho lived in constant dread of robbory. His house in Parig, on tho Avenue Friedland, was made bur- glar-proof. Tho palace was surrounded by high walls, and tho doors and windows woro 60 con~ structed that thoy could not bo opened without theringing of numorona alarm-hella. Hisdiamond caskots woro secroted within his' own chambor, where ho was nlwaya propared to fight in thelr dofense. His early taste for dobauchery was succeoded by that of avarico, and the poor old man, with his curly eilk wig, his affectation of youth, his evident decrepitude, was one of the curiosities of Europe. His sppearance on gala nights, docked out in his diamonds, . attracted much attention, which tho old fool accopted ns complimentary to tho degonorate roprosontative of tho house of Brunawick, which for 800 years had been conuccted with tho royal dynasties of all the nations of Europo, and which had pro- duced & long line of horoos, scholars, aud emi- nent mon. Another proot of the inferiority of man to woman hns just boen eatablished by Dr, John Btockton Hougl, in tho Medical Record, who contends, with various facts and figures to sus- tain him, that tho fominine longovity is groater than the magculine ; speculating upon which, he affirms that, *“If tho moxes wore crontod BOpR~ ratoly, the woman waes developed, ovolved, or croated first, and man, by a slowor and moro tedious proccss of evolution, was a secondary or higher dovelopment from tho femalo, . . . Man, being tho socondary crention, is tho first to- exhibit decline or degeneration, and woman will consequontly sur- vive him in tho process of final extinction of the raco,” If this bo 8o, why will not Miss Anthony and tho rost comse from their labors and con- tont thomsolves with tho good timo coming, when the women will have tho world all to them- solvos 7 Why longer harass the focblor sox, which {s born of woman, hath but few days, and is full of troublos ? One of tho fashionable amusomenta of the English nobility and morcautilo aristocracy of Iate has beon tho propriotorship of a theatro. M. Labouchere, one of tho principal propriotors of the London Daily News, had threo st one timo, and mado a largo sum out of them. Mr, Dolaflold, the largo brower, Lowever, lost $400,- 000 na lessce of the Royal Ifalinn Oporas in two soasoun, Lord Loundesborough is said to havo loat $50,000 last winter at Drury Lane by one pioce.

To the Fditor of The Chicago Tribune : ¥ Bt Will Mr, Ghosbrough, Mr, Bryson, Mr, Clark, or any othor compotont ongincer counact- od with the soweragoe-worlkes, pleas toll tho pub- lic, ovor his own nignaturo, whother it was im- possible to conatruat the ‘Twonty-socond stroot sowor B0 a8 to provont its outlot bocoming n anulsanco ? When that sowor was Inid, tho Englncers, Com- misslonors, and contractors had the benofit of oxporloncoin tho construction of the Twoelfth stroot and othor sowers to the north of it,—~showing that, it the sower was dis- charged into o narrow trip of sluggish wator inside the bronkwator, the soworage would stagnato, and, in the summer-months, pollute the air of & wido neighborhood. Now, if it was not impossible to Iny and com- plete tho sewer in Twonty-socond atreot in any bottor mannor than was dono, the citizons have aright to know whoso fault it wag, That sowor dischargos its great volume of sow- ago into o' narrow strip of wator inside tho brenkwater, and the Iatter structuro was thero whou tho sewor was Iaid ; and, if it was possiblo to havo dono the work mo as to avoid making it a nuisanco, whoso fault was it that the work was not dono as it ought to have ? Unlosa the eminent ongincors named above will say thot tho work was done in the best pos- sible mannor, the peoplo will continue to bollove that there was culpable Ignorance or noglect on the part of somebody concerned in planning and oxecuting tho work. That thero was negligenco or mistake, is sub- stantinlly confossed by tho ropoated promisos of tho Bourd of Public Works to ropair the mistake, by additional work upon tho sewor, Last yoar, on bohalf of many who lived near this nuissuco,. I verbally applied to tho Bonrds of Hoalth and Public Works to have the nuis- anco abated ; but, while its existouce was nd- . mitted by tho mombors of thoso bodies, and they #0id it ought to bo attended to, yot thoy said thoy wore overwhelmed with work, and, besides, had no monoy for this objeot. Thus the matter rosted until this scason, when, owing to the incremse of popula- tion, the volumo of sowage s largoly increased, and, of course, its noisomo offacts are worso and moro widoly-ox- tonded than over, and not. only polluto tho neighborhood, but disgust and offend soveral hundred porsons of ull ages, both soxes, and strangors a8 woll as residonts, who take and lonva the cars daly ot that station, and who cannot eccapo the stench while waiting. Moro than two months ago, Ihanded to tho Board of Public Works & numerously and respoctably signed potition, asking thom to romedy tho ovil. It was civilly received, the existonco of tho nuisance admitted, and profuse promiscs made for its nbatomout; and, although I have ro- peatedly called to remind tho Board of tho mat- tor, and have alwuys recoived fuir promises, yot, on cloro inquiry this week, I learnod that nothe ing bos been dono about tho matter, becauso, ns was #nid, Mr. Clark haa boon “so busy with plans for tho new sowers.” This ecems plausi- ble. Lotus hopo that ho wen't have all tho sowage of the mnow district discharged on ono side of it, to feator on the surfaco, as has beon dono for yeara in tho cnsoof the sowers on the lake front. Tho officors say they have money enough for this object (and, if they have uot, it can be raised in ono day by private subscription) and, if Mr. Clark is too busy, ought not tho suthori- ties to doas othors do in like cnacs, and employ ‘more help, ospacially when the objoct isone that concorns tho publio health ? ‘Wo all sympathize with tho city officers who are so overburdenod with public cares and du- tios; but wo think patiouco onough has beon shown about this mattor and the other lake~ front sowors; and, unless the City Engincors will say the worls could not havo beon done 50 ne to provent its becoming o nuisance, the publio will continue to beliovo that its present and past condition is the rosult of ignorance or megli- goneo, und that two yeara of respectful but vig- orous complaint ought to bring rolief, if that is possiblo.
