And thus the whole people, at home and abroad, are laborin, to correct the defects of their government ani to secure for all classes and interests, without | discrimination, the advantages which'a careful observation of the institutions, customs, and laws may offer to them.

May we not hope for this result? The choice and the responsibility is with them. Most heartily do I commend the recent actsof Congress and the Executive in this direction; most fervently do the people pray for the mo- ment when those that were divided may be united, and those whose ambition it was to de- stroy may be as ready to give their labor and their lives to the preservation of the institutions of our common country. In the darkest hour of strife that spirit per- vaded the ranks of the army.

Evlitor Evening Star:—It is high time some action should be had to secure the lives and health of the citizens of the city from the dire efeets of that grand avenue of destruction in the shape of a creek, which has its source in the county and meanders down sth street northwest to RB street, along K street and Rhode Island avenue to 6th street, down 6th, and thence “across lots” to the main channel—the Tiber,— which wends its way through the city to the Potomac. Into this creek is emptied all the offal from the slaughter houses and the hide ‘ory north of Boundary street, and from the nks of Howard University and the hospital thereot—the latter making some select cont butions to the public health through this chan- nel—and to which is added all the dead hogs, dead dogs, dead cats, dead chickens, and every other foul thing that can be made or imagined ‘This vast conglomeration of filth is allowed to fester in the summer sun, sending sickness and death among the tamilies of the northern sec- tion of the city, until a freshet comes to trans- ter it, with its consequences, to the doors and cellars of Pennsylvania nue. Why this grand highway of pestilence has been allowed to exist 80 long in a community ¢laim- ing to be enlightened, is one of those things which as Dundreary says ‘‘no feller can tind out.” ‘The board of heaith are waiting on the board of public works—and vice cersa. Ask about it, and they say we must wait. “Wait, wait, till ye die.” The main sewer along T street to Rock creek is nol yet commenced, and it will take some time to complete it after the work is started. Are we to wait for that ? _ The borders of that pellucid stream—pellucid is good—are beautifully green on either side. The miasma exhaled theretrom causes some beautiful green mounds to be erected—in the public cemeteries. The main sewers should both be built as soon as possible, but ‘an ounce of prevention” is needed now. If nothing else can be done, let the creek be filled up at once, as was its twin brother, the canal, and the drainage thereof become tributary to the sewers already in existence. Let something be done. Let the action be prompt, decisive, and ettective. The cholera is coming—coming down this stream.
