> ' ~ REAL ESTATE, © ‘THE NEW WARDS OF THE CITY \Character of New York's Past Growth and the Lesson It Teaches—Topographical Features of the Newly Acquired District—What Has Boen and Is Being Done for Its Improvement—An Active Inquiry. The accuracy of recent analyses in this column yor the aituation in respect to reat estate is being \proved each day as the year advances to the spring ason of activity in the large inquiry that prevalis an the direction of the newly annexed district. It (8 trite observation that history repeats itself, ‘but it ts really curious as well as instructive to ab- “ #erve, and may commend itself to the considera- ‘tion of our worthy Chief Magistrate of this great Mnunicipality, wnat this annexation ts but the se- Squence of a principle in our city’s growth, whence fMerived it would be diMcult to say, but which has ‘been so marked a feature of our development that Jattention has been more than once called to it un- lder this head. And thatis its SPORADIC SETTLEMENT. Thus while the young community of New Am- Jaterdam, and later New York, was still nursing ‘the germ of a commercial activity thet was to make ‘Manhattan Island the great emporium of trade Yor @ new continent, the restless members of that sommunity, themselves forecasting its inevitable destiny, were at intervals ignoring ita built up ‘Doundaries around the southern end of the island and colonizing in diferent localities north and east ‘and west of the island, more or less removed #rom the ancient settlement. In this way do wo find the various titles that distinguish portions of ‘our most thickly peopled wards. Thus have we ‘Greenwich Village, an old suburb, separated from the early municipal control by a meadow, pond and meandering stream, where is now Canal street, that might have seemed to the Dutch Chief Magistrate of that day as natural a boundary to ‘the young city’s limits a8 do the Harlem fats and river to his worthy successor in the Mayor’s chair to-day. But the meadow is obliterated, the Pond filled up’ and the gentle stream dried at its source, and over all there surges daily the trafic @nd travel of a great city. The worthy Mynheer, ‘who would have then opposed the annexation of Greenwich Village, is long since gathered to his fathers, and Greenwich Village is no more, swal- : Mowed up in the vortex of @ mighty flood of popu- ation, a proof of how even DUTOH SAGACITY, ‘with tho best intentions in the world, may err. Ho, too, have disappeared Yorkville and Manhat- tanville, Harlem and Oarmansville, and, more re- cently, Morrisania and West Farms, with a dozen metnor local divisions. ‘Truly this is manifest eatiny. In respect to the more recent acquisition to the territorial limits of the city, while it does not wipe out the Harlem River, as the eartier atream that used to meander through Canal street ‘wea wiped out, renders its navigability from the Hudson River to the Sound a foregone conclusion. ‘The annexed district is a remarkably pictur- e@sgue addition to the scenic beauty of My eer metropolis presenting a bold outline of ragged, pre- Oipitous and rocky elevations, broad tabie land wooded and open, smiling valleys, streams, and what rare attraction in the neighboruood ‘of a Jarge city—pleasant country roads, It ALAS? ENTIRELY BOUNDED BY NAVIGABLE WATERS, ‘@rwhat will shortly be navigable—vig., on the g@outh by the Harlem River and on the west by the Hudson. A gentle stream, known as the Bronx, forms the eastern boundary, the northern Doundary being an imaginary line drawn from ‘shat stream to the Hudevn, @ littie to the sonta of ‘tho.former corporate Hmits of the city ot Yonkers. Ie must not supposed that this territory comes into the city as so much wild land, primeval forest, won to civilization, 4c. On the contrary, as has been pointed out, at 18 largely sestied with many fourisning @nd thriving nuclei vf future populous fau- poerge, such as Tremont, Fairmount, Belmont, Fordbam, Mount kden, Clare!

This district has ‘been under the control.ol the Park Commissioners sinec 1670, in res, ect to the jaying out ot avenues and boulevards, the Grand Central avenue, nearly Parallel with the line of the Croton Aqueduct, tra- ‘Yersing its central elevation, From ‘ither site of ‘bois tho principal boulevard there is a natural Watersued, which supplies an casy drainage into the Bronx on the east, or ‘Tibbitt’s Brook, to the Harlem River for the centre, and the Hudson Raver on the west. The same character of sloping country presents ease 0) access to tie city roper or business limits—viz., on the east by the arlem ana New Haven railroads and on the west ‘by the New York Central and Hudson River and ‘the new Boston and Montreal Kauroads—whereby residents are enabled to make A OBOIOE OF COMMUNICATING LINES @s their accommodations recommend them to patronage.

Very considera- le progress has already been made in this work, a8 it had been largely tn hand long belore tue question of annexation came before the people as @ direct issue. It 16 strange, in view of the im- portance of this OUTGROWTH OF THE METROPOLIS, at to its gaim, to note the opposition whioh this-slight aunexation has provoked. How- ever, wien the Mayor o. the city himself endorses the new theory of natural ocoundaries to munici- palities there is less room for surprise. He is cer- Yainly supposed to represent tue people, and it 46 none the less true he does to some extent. is, he represents the old logy element, his confrere, the Comptroller, “does the “penny wise and pound ‘oolish’” policy of nerrow-minded Gnanciers. Why, New York bas d Long Island. It has built brooklyn, the city in tae Union, and all the outiying towns ad villages throughout the extent of that island, it has peopied New Jersey, causing settlements to spring up along the line of raiiways m that State Ee though planted vy a bountilul sower; and, with it Vigorous heart life, st has sent an arterial flow of enterprise ages agg the country that is steadily coming back in a perennial stream of refit and wealti. What wonder, then, that it should seek to eniarge its own boundaries, and i, having enlarged tuem, the new territory should quickly exnibii the same features of restiess activity, Speculative lise and rapid appreciation which, §0 marked a@ feature of the smuler muni- Cipality, Dad stinsulated such MARVELLOUS SUBALDIARY GROWTH doyond the waters of the Hudson and E.st rivers! It is not, therefore, too mucu to anticipate a Uvely movement in this directiun this spring. The mon- etary conditions are all favorable, the present m- dications in the matter o1 inquiry and private sales point that way, and the logic oi events, so far as Taay be traced, would seem to promise it. THE NEW PARADE GROUND matter has had ratner a sudden and unlooked-for dénouement, Senator Gross on Thursday intro- duced a bil into the Legisiatare to repeal chapter 618 of the Laws of 1871, which gives the Board of Public Parks and the Major Geveral of the First di- vision power to lay out and esiavlish a pabiic square for the use oj the Firat division ol tie National Guard in any part of the city above 155th sureet. ‘This would seem, on the dace Of it, to meet the wishes of the property owners inthe neighbor. hood of the present designed improvement of that 4k, as set forth recently in this column, and inter- preted by the Mayor in bis receut Message. Itap- | ars, however, irom representations that have Been made to the writer that. the opposition on the part of adjacent property owners to this im- Provement has been purely IN A PICKWIOKIAN SENSE, and that while ‘vowing taey wouid ne'er consent”’ they not only consented, but were anxious for the work to go through. ‘The only objection they had was a pariee tor tt, and pw gan ge by asking for its discontinuance tuey would get rid of their assesments and shove the liability over on the city atlarge. It seems it was pot to be such a formidable nuisance after atl—not a parade ground Jike Tompkius square, but rather a park like Wash- ‘lngton square, with shade trees and walks and aches and otuer attractions, coveriny, in ail, ninety acres—a place for brigade muster once or twice a year, ng @ frontage on the river so that the troops could reach the ground by water transporcation and be so brought off it; at other times a crartine promenade, with perhaps the drill ground tufned into a croquet lawn, and allthe other delights of a sylvan retreat, main- tained at the cost ol the State, Besides, Iu would rescue from the danger of vulgar occupation & tract of lowland that would not likely be the choice of fashionable settlers, but might suit the Jess fastidious tastes of their poor relauons. What the end may ve 1s not yetdecided, but the matter forms @ very interesting episode as it stands, re- Keving immensely the rather dull experience of real estate observation, It is perhaps unnecessary to add that the interest in THE MATTER OF RAPID TRANSIT grows apace with each day’s agitation of the snb- ject.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE BANK+ BUPT LAW. a by ecessa: as construction? If the ht 80 to act, the solution of New York, Jan, 31, 1874, To THE EDITOR OF THE HEBALD;— There appears to be a diversity of opinion as to the advisability of the repeal of the Bankrupt law. Upon the one hand @ large number of tne leading merchants, of this and other cities, have memoral- ized Congress demanding tts absolute repeal upon the supposition that the law could not or would not be so amended as to be beneficial to the mer- cantile and business interests or productive of g00d to the country ; ana upon the other hand the Board of Trade and the Chamber of Commerce of this and other cities bave passed resolutions against its repeal, and, together with a strong array of business firms, have memoralized Congress ask- ing for various amendments to the law in sub- stance embraced in some of the following sugges- tions, which bave been drawn up with a view of elimmating some of the most glaring defects of the law. In preparing them I have been governed by the rule laid down by Blackstone for the interpre- tation of a remedial law, that is, “to consider the old law, the mischief and the remedy.” Aiaed by the light of experience, I am convinced that if the following suggestions are adopted by Congress the law will be A BENEFIT TO THE COMMERCIAL COMMUNITY to at leastas great an extent as it has heretofore been @ detriment:- First—Abolish the office of Register in Bank- ropa and substitute rergige one or more Asso- clate Judges in Bankruptcy eye Court jor each district in the United the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and other sections 80 a8 to accord with this change by , ing out “Register” and inserting “Associate Judge” wherever 1t occurs; the Assodiate Judge in Bankruptcy to receive a salary to be fixed by law, but not to receive or be interested in any ees or costs, and enlurging his jurisdiction accordingly ; reserving the right of appeal to the uistrict uudge in the summary manner now provided lor under the filth section.

A Resume of the Last Days of the Conyention— Report on Redistricting—An Organ To Be Established—The Secretary of the Order. CHICAGO, Jan. 30, 1874, The convention adjourned this afternogn at halt- ‘Dast three o’olock, after having been in session six days. By @ judicious use of such privileged motions asthe ‘previous question” and tabling a motion to reconsider,” the debates were shorn of their early prolixity, and the business of the session was quickly despatcnea, The peculiar ruling of the Convention as to open- ing the daily proceedings with prayer, it will be remembered, was reconsidered on Monday, and the rule was adopted to have the ritual prayer re- cited daily. On Wednesday morning, therefore, the President called upon Mr. Marx Wasch, a venerable New York dalegate, to recite the PRAYER. Mr. Wascu asked for a ritual book, but none could be found, and he declined repeating it from memory. There was thus a panse in the proceedings, The assemblage had risen for the prayer, but the prayer seamed not forthcoming, Mr. Wour, the President, then offered an im- promptu prayer, at whose length no one could object, and the perplexity of the Convention was at an end. Rev. J. H. M. CHUMACHINO, Of Charleston, desired the press to take notice that he was not of the ‘“vabbies, Who were against prayer,” in proof of which statement he was the prayer-maker on the succeeding dey. Rev. Dr. WISE introduced two propositions, which were referred to two committees; one on University and Union, to encourage the efforts made by several Western congregations to have a union of the Jewish community for theological pur- poses, and of which committee Mr. M Ellinger Was chairman; and the other, in reference toa Home for the Helpless, to be establiahed for the entire order, of which Dr. Wise was made chair- man. Mr. Abram Wilner, of Cleveland, an active friend of Consul Peixotto, was made chairman of the Committee on Roumania. MANY RESOLUTIONS WERE INTRODUCED AND RE- RED FER! of which the following are specimens :— m4 AvOLPH Moses—Calling fora tax of $1 on each memoer for an educational fuad, y V. SHaRPs, of Newburg—For a tax of $1 for the Roumanian mission. By A. ©. FRANKLAND—To engage a competent person to write the history of the Order. By I. 8. Isaacs—To encourage the American Jew- iblication Society. THE QUESTION OF ENDOWMENT oecupied nearly all of Wednesday's session, and was not finally settled until midnight. The delegates had received instructions on this subject from their lodges, and at least one-half had speeches to make. There were two reports pre- sented—that ol the majority, which stated briefly that ‘in the t state oi the Order it is inexne- uieot and premature to legislate any general law for an endowment plan,” and that of the minority, drawn and warmly advocated by A, L. Sanger, which favored a general law, the formation 0! a Teserve fund, and authorizing the levying of a special assessment in cases of sudden epidemics, such a8 broke out in Memplis and Shreveport. The Convention went into committee of the whole, Joseph Abraham, of Cincinnati, in the chair, The protracted debate was participated im irs. Frankland, dhart, Wise, Lowen- in, Haas, Cohen, and othe. s, and was closed by the rejection of the minority and the adoption of the majority report. So the subject now remains as it was, those districts having an endowment fund retaining it, while the: only district that has no endowment law (No, 2). will probably soon follow in the wake of its asgociates. At Wednesday’s session the report of the ma- jority of whe Committee on ‘Territories was ‘adopted, THE DISTRICTING 18 * follows, to be enlorced on andafter April 1 next:— District 1.—New York and the New England States. District 2.—Obio, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado. District 3.—Pennsylvapla, New Jersey, Delaware, West Virginia. District. 4.—California, Oregon, Nevada, Wash- ington, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Arizona. +District 5.—Maryland, District of Columbia, Vir- gina, North and South Carolina, Georgia. District 6.—illimois, Wisconsin, lowa, Minnesota, Nebraska. Michigan. District 7.—Yenneasee, Arkansas, Alabama, Mis- siasippi, Louisiana, Texas. The Cleveland Orpban Asvinm, which is now Most successiul, was leit, under the report of the committee, to its present management, THE ORGAN MATTER. The Committee on Literature and Centennial reported, through its chairan, A. L. Sanger, that an official organ was required; that a commission should be appointed to prepare @ suitable bistory of the Order, and incidentally of the Jews in America; likewise an essay on the influence of Judaism on movern thought—the said publication to be ready tor the Centennial ixhubition, and to be prepared at the expense of the brotherhood. ‘The centennial portion of the report was adopted without debate. The question of the organ elicited muth discursion. Dr. Wisk spoke at length on the subject, waiving in bis introducuion any questions o! seli-interest ; for, said he, as he had been an editor and publisher for nearly thirty years, feared nO pew wWovement, no number organs. He attacked the subject irom two points; he pitied the editor, for he would find his task a hard one; and he pitied the Order, tor he poe that whereas it had now eight stanch friends in the eight Jewish papers in tis country, the publication of an offices! organ would turn them into eight bitter enem: Mr, SIMON WOLF took the Noor in opposition to Dr. Wise, cloguently iavoring the adoption of the report. organ was @ necessity, inasmuch as the present papers were [eke so tainted with religious rejudice that hbera brethren could not support aa, as proper exponents of the principles of the rder. Dr. Feiusnyrnat sald that he was tired of those papers tat continually fed on people's poorets, tor whch remark he Was called to order. [he report way, adopted in its entirety. DAY'S SHSSION was a busy one, the Convention Seing at work from ten in the morning until midnight, Mr. Frank- laud introduced ¢ resolution. which was adopted and relerred to the Centennial Committee for ac- tion, to secure the exhibition at Philadelphia in 1876 of a statue or statues which shall typify the influence of Judaism on civilization, The following committees’ reports were READ AND ADOPTED, On Reports, eulogizing Mr. Bien and the work of the Executive Committee, but deprecating the sentiments containea In Dr. Felsenthal’s letter, and recommending that peraguel opinions be here: ster excluded from the oficial documents of the der.

A resolution declaring in plain terms that THE SECRECY OF THE ORDER IS TO BE MAINTAINED elicited warm discussion, and was carried by @ large pasty. In the excitement of the moment five of tue delegates rose to leave the Conyention ; but by the tact and eloquence oi the President, Mr. Wolf, Wh» acdressed the disaffected in feeling language, rarely heard in convention, they recon- sidorea their intention and resumed their Seat, ‘To-aay (Friday) all the committees hud reported. The sole Work left undone was the adoption of complimentary resolutions, and these were quick}: repared and unanimously carried. ‘The Presi- evt, Preside) Secretaries, committecs, Sergeant-al-Arms, Associated and Chicago Press, the Chicago Breturen—all received tueir meed of thanks. The Executive Committee for the ensuing five years was tuen elected, with Julius Bion @s President, A, £. Frankland, Vice Presi- gents M Bhinger, wrelary. The next Conven- tion is to meet in Philadelphia in January, 1879, EPISCOPAL MINISTERIAL CONFER- ENCE, The Position of the Church with Refer= el to Popular Amusements —The Anti-Puritan View—Interesting Essay and Discussion, At the monthly meeting of the ministers of the Protestant Episcopal Church, held yesterday after- noon in the Church of the Incarnation, on Madison avenue, Rey. Dr, Rylance, of St. mark’s cburch, read @ very interesting essay on the Church’s re- lation to popular amusements, He took what, among Christians, will be considered probably the unpopular and untheological side of this question. He pointed out the inconsistencies of Christians and of ministers, who can denounce theatres, but who can applaud and attend bails and parties and concerts and tableaux given for charitable What right, he asked, what books he shall read, what songs he shall sing, what ampsements he shall seek or enjoy? The Church, he contended, had ag much right to regulate his diet and clothing as to decide these matters for him, He pointed out some of the advantages of leaving these things to be reguiated by individual consciences, subject only to the influences of Christianity, Many Ohris- tians slip secretly into theatres and oper: nd even into negro minstrel envertainments, because of the ban under which the Church places these things. And thus they lead hypocritical lives, There is no just ground, he conceived, to fear that this liberty of Christians will lead to licen- tiousness, MANY THINGS ARE LAWFUL which are not expedient, and, for the sake of weak, members, the strong ones should forego their in- dividual liberty and indulgence in these things. The Doctor did not think that we should con- sider the opera, the drama, &¢., ¥ given over altogether to the degraded, We show our inconsistency by denouncing operas, but patronizing concerts; by opposing theatres, but advocating tableaux yivants. We can rea “adam Bede’’ and the ‘Pickwick Paperg,”’ but we decry other writings of the same class and charac- ter, Because music has been degraded we must uot therefore condemn all music. Will apy one tell me, he said, why I may study “Shakespeare” im my Own house, but may not look at his charac- ters ented on the stage ? or why I must not to the theatre, but may go to see tableaux vivapts? It is time for conventional Christianity, the tor remarked, to adjust itself to the facts in this question, ittbere4s no breach of Christian morals here the Church should show more leniency in dealing with those who patronize the drama and the opera. The essay was deemed all too brief by the brethren, who discussed it at the close of its dey livery, and Dr. mon gomees, the chairman, for himself thanked the essayist for the care and the manliness displayed in the paper. A vote of thanks by the meeting was thereupon given to Dr. Rylance ica his Poa nee ‘1 n aged brother, whose progenitor was amon; the Puritan Fathers, and whe gave Z 4 SKETCH OF PURITAN FAITH and practice on the question of amugements, re- marked that he could notsee, on any principle of taeology, psychology or physiology, how we could attaia good by any indulgence in any form of an admitted vice or sin. The essay, he said, took what might be termed the ant..puritanical view of amusements. Wecan’t find, he thought, in the New Testament, nor indeed in the Uld, any word that can be construed to favor these thiugs. The great error of the present day is the vitiation of public taste oy these things. He (the speaker) understood that Kawin Booth’s effort to lound and popularize a reformed theatre here has oved an utter iailure. Some of the spectacies ought in there were of that character wauich caused the anclent Romans to abolish theatre alter theatre, and alterwards to place the drama under the patronage of a goddess, that it might atleast have the appearance of the sunction of religion. It looked to the speaker like @ scheme of the great adversary Of soujs, to get us to copy from the ancients. He thought Mr. Bootn’s jailure, with his relormed drama, here was owing to the low tastes of the people who frequent those places. He reierred to Macready, wbo would not allow his own family to go to’ the theatre, and thought that @ ‘GOOD TESTIMONY AGAINST SUCH PLACES, He could not see any sense in giving up these things on the ground of their siuiuiness and pat- ronizing them or benevolent insututions. Dr. E, A. WASHBURNE never touches the question atau in bis public minisiry, believing that the great waut of mankind is Christ in the heart, a satis ying portion, and then these things may be leit to the individual conscience, where Paul left them. Every man must be a law uvto himself in this matter. The argument of the iriend who had just sat down is that we must borrow our senti- ments from the it rather than ‘rom the book which contains the law and principles of the Gos- pel on this question. He himsell took the opposite view, and ne liked the manly attitude of the essay- 1st; but he thought the Church should attend to her own proper duty of making men holy, that they may become a law unto themselves, and it will be doing a nobie work. He deprecated THE AITITUDR OF CONVENTIONAL CHRISTIANITY upon the people in this matter. It produces a miserable hypocrisy. If we want that sort of morals or duuble-faced Christianity test—whetner one shall dance or not, or whether one shall read novels or not—then, of course, we can practice that kind of morality, He believed, bawever, in the formation of & man.in the of bis Master, and then we hall need no uch rules for him; but, without this image,.all our attempts to regulate his amusements will prove thac We cannot mect those quesuons, He never knew a minister who tried to do this who did not waste bis fire. Rev. Mr. Toat, a former chaplain on Black- well’s Island, thought that there suuuld be amuse- ments fur the working Christians in the Church, and he thought no man needed recreation more than bimsel!, Living for nine years among Jesuits and smallpox, ifany man should have a vacation ora recreation he should. He believed in having amusements tor those who work, but he did not see why those who amuse themselves at home or amo. their friends six days out of seven, or seven days ont of the week, should have them. ‘This brother's remarks Were iull o1 quaint hamor, intensified the more by bis repeated assertions that ne was in earnest. Other brethren also spoke, and the Conlerence was one of the most mucrest~ ing that has been held fer a long time. RAPID TRANSIT. A Seat and-Plenty of Air for Each Pas- songer, To THE EpiToR OF THE HERALD :— Regarding the demand jor sapid traasit as 60 urgent that, with the endorsement o1 the IikraLp, the Legislatare will hardly dare fail to give our city prompt relief, I would urgently ask your at- tention to @ Most Important enactment which 1s at opce required to make the owners of the present city railroads and the builders of new ones pro- vide ® comfortable seat and proper ventilation lor every passenger, and I would dwell particularly upon this point as one too apt to be overlooked where franchises are lopbied trough the Legisla+ ture, In & letter to one of your contemporaries on Wednesday ef last week the President of the com- puny now seeking to obtain a charter jor a steam rauroad “lor the better accommodation of passen- gers” (?) Stated that it would not pay the ratiroad owners to furnish seats for every passenger, in view of the fact that during the middle otf day there are fewer riders than morning and evening. Yet it known ‘that the road represented an runs full cars curing the entire &@ dividend of fifty per cent to its Again, he asserts that “between the company and its passengers the ut.ost good feelings extst,” while tt is as well known, as truth can be, th his ‘ the Most unpopular road in the city, that passengers have been complaining, to no urpose, tor over twelve years, aud that one rives rom the Uity Hall to Harlem with the certainty of the greatest discomiort and the risk of robbery and other evils. In December, 1872, the writer took the liberty of the addressing Governor Dix upon the subject of city raulroad ‘charter earnestly soliciting him to veto any bill which did not properly protect the passen- gers from the rapacity of the men who were #0 H Joud m promises which they never tended to fale | Oil; but Hs Excellency paid no heed to the re- ; quest, and vetoed but one railroad bill that came to him tor euprorel. It might be well to add, per- haps, that the latter encroached upon property owned by Trinity chureh, and touched seriously the interests of many Wali street gentlemen inti- mately acquainted with tue State Executive, Various appeals jiave been made to the Health Board upon the matter of proper veutWation in the street cars, 80 lar tO BO purpose, and passengers must submit to the necessity Of breathing the foul and unwholesome odors found in many of the boxes on wheels (notably on the west side) which are in frequent instances pesthouses lor the propa- gation of fit and disease. J have no wish to do Injustice to the very respectable gentlemen who constitute the city Board of Health, Far irom any imputation on them be my design. 1 cheerfully bear testimony that whenever complaint is made to them on this subject they meet and most sol- emuly “resolve” (with @ capital K) to have the cars suMciently ventilated at once, and then they adjourn. Jt would be-most ungrate/ui on the part of citizens to complain of omcials who have listened 80 complaceptiy to the demands for air to breathe and who have passed so many resolutions during the preceding two yea) It is true that there are some —unappreci e@ «people who say that less resolving and & icum of firm. ness would accomplish something tangible; but such peopie do not understand what they are talking about and are scarcely worth minding. It has come, indeed, to a peculiar pass when the president of @ railroad company publicly an- Hounces that it would not “pay” to provide each passenger with a seat, while he quietly pockets his fity per cent dividend aud asks for @ valuable franchise “ior the accommodation of the public.”” A bill is now beiore the Assemoly to compel the companies to furnish passengers with seats. Al- ready the lobbyists are endeavoring to throttle it. Add to this bill a stringent proviso enforcing suMcient ventilation, and much will have been accomplished towards the health, aecurity, com- Jort and convenience 01 the people of this city. In behalf of thousands who are carried daily— with scarcely bevter accommodation than cattle and shee, y the city railroads, I invoke the powertul voice of the HERALD towards the remed: 01 a nuisance Which ought to have been corrected, eighteen years ago.
