The statistics of ruined hats were tremendous, Disgusted with the inefficiency of the Street Cleaning Bureau the Colostial Street Com- missioner took the matter into his own bands and made thorough work of it, But, better than this, the Presidential question, which has dragged its slow length along for months, to the detriment of business and the disgust of business men, was settled at last | The state of the weather was in itselt sufficient to provont avy genera! expression of opinion, but wherever little knots of mon were to be seen there tho Presidential question was, in a subdued manner, the topic of the day, Afterall, however, the wonder- ful part of it was bow little was said about it, In the Biroet cars everybody sat with closed lips, as usual, | and looked as dismal as the wet streets or the reeking vehicles, A shout lor cither Hayes or Tilden was not beard allthoe day long It was only when men camo into friendly centact that tho subject was referrea to, and then, even, where opinions were widely upart, in tho most friendly spirit, As men shook bands one | would say to tho othor, ‘Well, it’s settled at Inst— | Hayes bas buill-dozed Sammy completely.’’ In nine tases out of ten tho substance of the politt- tal conversation was embraced in the three words—‘‘Hayes bdull-dozed Sammy” Repubit- cans well as democrats used this favorito form of expression, which, when it came from demo- crate, was usually supplemented by an intimation that Sammy was willing, only that he was not able, to bull-dozo Hayes, But tho remarkabie feature of tho | y was tho general, almost paintul, silence on tho subject, In no other country in the world could the Inhabitants of a great city have .remained so abso- Jutely quiet on the day which settled the rulership ot tho nation, It has beon the babit to speak of the lo. quacity of the American people, but when a whole population can hold tts tongue under such circum: stancos tho fact is proof of a contrary disposition, An | Indian stoicism seems rather to have taken the placo of talkativeness with ns, ond it was certainly a sin Jar spectacle to sre a dozen men facing ouch other in the Broadway siages without any one of them opening his lps on the subject which was in the minds of all, This silence, huwover, dues not indicato | a want of interest im the ‘politics of the country, as would appoar at the first bist, Apathy 16 reely % | characteristic of the American people, however apa thetic they may seom, Itdoes not even indicate a want of strong party feeling, for with us partisanship always runs high, but rather what mast be termed, for want of a better phrase, tho spirit of tramed acqui econce, To some exiont this spirit comes trom mere pradential considerations, It a zealous republican had @cclared In somo public place that ho was glad Hovea =bad~—boen declured = =tho—- President j This spirit was got confined to Tamu | sion of democratic resentment, Democratic denunciation, on the other hand, would have provoked similar Seaihant among republicans.

But ‘on all hands, however satistactory or unsausfactory the result, there was a spirit of congratulation over the escape from a grave and menacing danger. With- out regard to party aflilfations men rejoiced that the obstructionists did not have their way in Congress, and some pretty strong expletives were used by democrats as well as republicuns on the subject Mr. David Dudley Ficld’s course especially was loudly and eur- nestly condemned as an exhibition never belore wit- nessed in our pational politics, and (he irritation at | Hayes’ etection was less keenly fulteven by those to whom it was most distasteful, because of the mad of- fort which was nade to defeat it in the face of the compromise which had been agreed upon by the k men of both parties and adopted by Congr ‘It the obstractionists bud succeeded,’ suid demo- erat and republican alike, ‘tanarchy would have been inevitable, and civil strife 18 too dear a price to pay for that success which would cnable a New York lawyer to pain his case.” The scnse of this danger so narrowly escaped en- tered into all the conversations on the Presidential question yesterday, and some democrats were heard to express a8 much satistaction over Huyes! election a8 if it bad been a solid, old-fashioned, democratic victory. uy Hall, but manifested itself im many unexpected quarters, and was especially strong with those with whom Mr, Tilden Was not a personal favorite, AnOUT HAYES. In regard to the President-clect tho feeling was kindly and generous. Many good words were spoken of the manly bearing of Governor Hayes throughout the exciting contest which has just closed, and it was generally agreed that the country had nothing 10 fear from lis Presidency. So far a8 be was coue cerned, the felicitutions were universal, and there was less calling of uames than usual upon the chico of a President, Business, it was generally believed, would receive a fuyorabie impulse, not so much because Hayes was elected as because a great danger had been averted, and the peace of the country and tho perpetuity of the Union were assured, VICE PRESIDENT WHRKLER’'S VIEW OF 17, At the St. Nicholas Hotel yesterday morning a crowd might have been observed in the main corridor myste- riously murmuring over a very large trank, whicd the | porters of tho establishment apgeared to regard with a certain mingling of reverence and curiosity, It was marked in Jarge letters ‘William A. Wheeler,’ and the proprietor, oblivious to the seusation it was creat- ing, Was snatching a hasty breakfast, preparatory to King the next train for Washington. A few ucquaint- ances and a regiment of eavesdroppers were grouped about him in the dining room, bat ho talked littie and ate rapidly, with the’ true Amorican facility for transacting a vast amount of dietetic business in the average five minutes allotted to break- fasting in this country. Ho did say, however, that ho was satistied with the result, besides intimating that he had had full faith in the justice of his cause trom the beginning, and that the mountains of evidence piled up by the Congressional commitiee would never ve uble to convince him thut the State of Louisiana | bad been fraudulently counted for Hayes and Wheeler, | AS tothe policy of the imcoming a stration he dropped vo hints, and the eavesdroppers, who had fondly anticipated something to gossip about, went away sad and upsatisticd, MAYOR ELY's VIEWS, Mayor Kiy is conservative and sound in his views, Ho looks over the whole field in a dispassionate manner, without the heated sentiments of a partisan, “What do you think will be the effect upon tho public mind of tne ptacing of Hayes in the Prosidential chair?” ho was asked by the Henato representative. “Well,”? he answered, “1am under the improssion that in two or three months from now other exciting questions will abeorb the public mind. The people of the whole country have becn wearied with such a pro- tracted Presidential struggle, and they are glad of the opportunity to resume qaietly thoir various avoca- tions. ”? “Slow will this decision affect the political status ot the two parties 2”? “There is, undoubtedly, a widespread feeling of dis- satisiaction among all who voted tor Mr. Tilden, and also with some who voted for Hayes, These people are convinced that fraud has been committed, and they necessarily feel much aggrieved, The counting in of | Hayes will have the effect of keeping the democratic aud republican parties intact for the next four years,” “In your opinion will the democratic party gain much ih the future from accessions from the republi- canst”? “IT have thought that the party whicn attained the Presidency would fail to satisiy pablic expectation. ‘The pecple demand relief from distress, and it 18 not au the power of legislation to eflect it, “I think that so far as mero purty interests are concerned the democrais ure fortunate im not being coim- pelled to ussume responsibilny. The administration of Mr. Hayes wiil be very untortupately situated. It will have to bear the odium of being the creature of trand, and will be constantly assailed by a powerful opposition, The democratic party will be held to- gether by a consciousvess of the wrong they have sul- Jered and the certainty of future success, ”? Do you think it was judicious on the part of the democratic party co submit the question to a commis ressmen aud Supreme Court judges 2” as doubtful of the policy, but being convinced that the democratic party was to be deprived of the rosuite of the elecvion, | Was not unwilling to have any policy adopted which would avert disorder and reyd- Jution.”? “Do you think the participation of the Supreme Court judges in the contest has dimimished the popular respect for that court?” “L think there are two very deplorable effecis ro- sulting irom this contest. Ono 1s that the impression is prevalent that the election of a President ts a fair field 1 | tor practice of iraad, as if it were a minor mumeipal oflice; the other is that the Supreme Coart of the United States, which wo generally regarded as the iighest and tost sacred tribunal on earth, 18 atter all composed of very ordinary men, who decide the gravest questions as mere partisans,” “Do you approve of the attempt to prevent the in- auguration of Hayes by hibusteriug in Congres: ? vo not, We either wisely ly submitted question to a sort or arbitration, and we are bound onor to accept the unfortunate result.’ What do you toink oi the personnel of the incoming administration ? “1 do not kaow Mr. Hayes personally, but every one says that he is # cultivated gentieman anda man of great personal integrity, but those wo kuow bim best iso say (hat he is of an'easy disposition and inelined to be judelent, This I think is a most unfortmate trait of character for one im his position, 1 kuow Mr. Wheeler intimately, and have entire confidence in his good intentions and capacity to faithiully discharge the duties ot the office of Vice President.” i JONN KELLY'S OPINION, | wnotel is a species of social conglomerate, repres Mr. John Kelly was found at his ‘desk In the Comp. | troler’s offiee yesierday afternoon by a Hxnrann ro- | porter, and in response to the question—“What offect | would the decision of the Elector!

Pertunt fact stands now before the country that the records made in the Florida Secretary of 5 '8 ollice in Tallat show that Tilden and Hengricks wero elected at State by uinety majorigg,! that the how Joust Returning Board avoided the process of the Supreme Vourt of that State by keeping out of sight and pre- venting themselves from being served with the pro- cess until after they had made their returns to the President of the United States Senate, and when they were served with a que warrande and the judicial! pro- ceedings gone into, it was very couclasively shown that they had falsified the returns. “The comm’ssion ignored ail these tacts, taking bo motice whatever of them, and decided that the electors ariginally sent by the Returning Board were thos choeen by the people of the State of Florida, while they knew as well asthe matter could be known that the highest court of tho State had decided otherwise, “The Louisiana ease was evon more fiagrant than the Florida case, although there was there no judicial in- Vestigation, but the cotmission did not euter at all 01 the question oi fraud, but counted the State for Hayes nd Wheeler, The same was the case with South Carolina, These three States, undoubtedly, bonestly gave their electoral votes to Tilden and Hendricks.”” TILDEN OR ANY OTHER MAN. On being asked whether there would have been Probably any differonce bad the National Democratic Convention nominated some other candidate than Tilden, Mr. Kelly replied : ‘1 do not think there would, Although I was op- posed to Tilden’s nomination by the Convention, [ think that every State carried for bim would nave been carried for tbe nomince of tho party, whoever hi might have been, and that every State counted tor Hayes and Wheeler would have equally been counted Poa them, no matter who migbs have been opposed to them." *L bave no doubt,’ centinued Mr. Kelly, “that the inauguration of Hayes and Wheeler will be pescetully submitted to and t place at the appointed time, bat there always will be afecimg that they uc not right~ fally bold their offices,” THK BUSINESS OUTLOOK. In reply to a question as to the probable effect on tho business of the country of the decision, Mr. Kelly Bai "The decision of tho question will have a tendency to revive business everywhere throughout the coun- try. This would have been the case uo matter which cundidate had been declared elected. The siiple de- cixion of @ quostion which had so long agitated the country would have a quieting and reviving effect on businoss, although as it ts the fact will nevertheless remain that tn the minds of the people there will exist &@ feeling that Hayes and Wheeler were not justly elected; and neither of them can ever command the respect that men would who were believed to have been honestly elected.’" PETER COOPER ON THE DECISION, Areporter of the Hxnaup called upon Mr. Peter Cooper yesterday to learn his opinion on the decision in favor of the republican candidate, more especially us to its effect upon the finances of the country. Mr. Cooper said that be hoped, and had no doubt, that the decisiow of the commission would be submitted to, and Hayes and Wheeler peacetuily inaugurated It would be madness ani folly of the worst kind for any party to pow atiempt to set aside that docision, and such @courze would react most disastrously upon the business of the country. ‘As to the effect on the finances, Mr. Cooper spoke quite at length, He sata:— “The policy of the country im regard to its | finances has been founded on the most cruel in- Justice, Tho.people had dyring tho war of the rebel- lion furnisnet to the government all the forins of labor and property, which ‘aud enabied them to overcome the rebeilion und save the file of the na- un, For this labor and property the people had taken gold as long as the government could give it, and after that they took the ‘treasury votes in all forms as they were issued, and so many dollars in gold, These Treasury notes were as much the peoples money as tho gold they borrowed from the banks when the first payment to the soldiers was mado. That money was authorized and aliowed by the govern- ment to remain in circutation, and had become the very lifeblood of the trade und commerce of a great country, and bad been dedicated to the people and used as currency for years until it bad measured moro than the valde of the whole property of the country, and by itg convenience and the encouragement that it gave to all the varied industries of our coantry, we ud at- tained an amount of prosperity und general widespread wealth in the shape of raijroads, substantial buildings aud ull forms of manulncturing implements, that brought to our country a degree of prosperity never surpassed by any other people in the world, “For a governinent at the close ol a war so Fuccess- fully carried through by the mgenulty, skill and cnergy ol the American people, who had devoted all thut they had taken trom the government as a currency, that had been the cause of their success and saved the lite of | the nation, to take such a currency trom the peoplo by war taxes afer a war was ended, whon provision was to be made tor 1,500,000 of distunded soldiers and 4,000,006 of emancipated slaves, and use that moucy to buy up bonds against their will which were not due for twenty years, was an act of cruelty and injustice, Sen- ator Jones told the Senate ‘that We cannot, we dare not avoid speedy action on this subject. By interter- ing with the standard of the country Congress has led the country away trom the realms of prosperity aud thrust it beyond the bounds of safety.” He then adds:—*To refuse to replace it on its former vaniage ground would be to incur a responsibility aud de- served reproach greater than which men bave ever Detore folt themselves able to bear,’ Ho then says:—"The present 8 the —ucceptab:o time to undo the unwitting and blunder- ing work of 1873.’ “ir. Cooper said that he mest sincerely hoped that the concluding advice of Senator Jones would make a living and a lasting tm- pressi hen ho says, in spoaking to the present Senate:—"leason, justice and authority unite in urg- ing us to retrace our stops, but the orgunic law com- mands us to do 80, and the presence of peril enjoins What the law commands.” Mr, Cooper adaed:—*"T'o have socured to ourcountry such a treasure, in tho shape of au unfluctuating national currency equal to all the wants of a great nation, should and would havo been of more value to us aud the world than all the gold mines that have been discovered on the continent of America, ’? As to Mr. Hayes porsonally, Mr. Cooper thought that | he was a good man, and as ur ag he can be judged his record tn Congress he w uavocate of J acurrency ay Mr. Cooper advocated. 1t was to be h that the Presitent would prove himself more thin a partisan and riso above the party and show himself « great statesman to the country that looks to hin so anxiously, LOCAL STATESMEN’B VIEWS.

The aged prelate ukes a rather dolorous view of the juncture, not because of any douvt of thesincerity of Air, Hayes, but because he believes tuut the materials cannot ve found among men of Southern nativity to co-operate with his policy by accepting office tinder a republican administration. ‘There is not,” he says, ‘a single leading Southern Statesman who would dare to look his public 1p the Jace after compounding with the republican party ip this manner, nor oue who could hope to retain his po- litical miluenco in his section under such ¢ stance: He thinks that Mr. Hayes will become discouraged when the reai state of the Southera mind ts once re- Yealed to him, and will abandon bis proposed policy within the first 81x months of bis administration and try to butid up a republican support in the Southern States in the sume wanner as his predecossor—that is, by encouraging the elimtuation of native ieaders trom, politics and by filing Southern offices with énigres from the North. The democratic gossips are just now deriving great consvlation from the views expressed by the Venerable Bisho: “The test is at hand," said a democratic Nestor yes- terday after repeating the Bishop's words ac he ‘had received them from bis own hps, “and you will see that within one year Hayes will fall back upon the policy of Grant by way of obtaining an apparent sup. port im the Southern States,’?

Mr. Godwin accepts the Fit- uation and predicis such a reaction against the repub- Hiecan party us will not only oust it irom the coutroi of the government, but bury it in 1580 boneath a Lida wave of poptinr indignation, ‘the end was, he thinks, foregone from the beginuing, and a conspiracy bus 19 his View been curried out, that was not only foreshad- owed, but pluuned and digested, before a single ballot was cast, He deserives Mr, Tilden a® ono of the tow idealists in American polities, whereas he is generally regarded as 4 very practical politician, “His capacity ior organization,” says Mr. Godwin, “arises purely from the mathematioul and analytic tun of the term bets th ot men.” It that ho accepts the situation with a philosopher's calmness, and, With that fatalistic bent Whieb marks the idealist, ne may be already digesting the mathematics of 1580.

A loungo in the barroom of the Filth Avenue is conse- quently i the nature of a revelation when the political Loroscepe is undecipherabie, Most of the more con- vivial habicués ot the club dropped in there at least once during the alternoon, by twos and threes, and discussed the happy tidings of the morning, while the general patrons ot ‘the heuse listened or dropped a word of disseut or asgent as shades of opinion required, There was, howover, no loud disputing anywhere, AMONG THR BULLS AND BEARS, The news of the election of Rutherford B, Hayes was received in Broad street with almost unanimous approval, as even the democratic bulls and bears were rejoiced ut the conclusion of the political wranglo and began to look forward to more prosperous times, It has been the foeling of the streot tor some time past that until the question was dediuitely setticd there would bo comparatively little capital brought on the market for speculative and investment purposes, The bulis were more especially jubilant, as during the past two mouths they had been considerably bull-aozed by the bears, for the uncertain outlook of things ahead had prevented buyers trom touching the market.

A DEMOCRATIO BULA. A HkRALD reporter visited a number of prominent bri kers of different political opinions, aud tried to ObUUD thelr Views in regard to the business prospects. Oae gentleman, a well kuown democrat, stated that, notwithstanding bo still firmiy believed Sam Tilden to be the real President of the country in point of equity and justice, he was Willing to swallow bis opinions and accopt Mr, Hayes ‘m ints satisfaction at the settlement of the question, There was now vo reason why bust ness should not pick up, and he felt assured that if President Hayes displayed common sense and good Judginent the country would be in a vory prosperous ition before another twelvemonth bad passed, The bears aud wreekers bad taken advantage of tho unsettled condition of affairs and certainly had done alt in their power to ruin everybody that had capital invested in the railroads of the Gouniry; but, luckily, their power was limited und the people of this country of too enterprising & character to allow investment securities to sink much below their actual value, A REPUBLICAN HEAR, Another gontioman belonging to the revublican party was in great glee at the success of his candidate, und stated that there was no fear for the country now, and in the course ot 4 few years, after invesiments had reached their actual value, there would ve a stoady upward movement. At present, with very few excep- tives, nearly ail the securities’ on the market wero quoted at figures tar above their jegitimate worth, and cannot attempt to pay interest on their bonds and stocks without borrowing more inoney for that pure pose, ‘The recent example of New Jersey Central bus brought to light the actual condition of What was cou dered One Of LBe Lest invesiment securities in tho couniry, and théPe are a number of railroad securities now in Che market, quoted at ridiculously high tigures, whose ailairs are it reality in a worse condition than it is at this very moment, “There has been a general | thrinkage in Values in this country, and there must be a proportionate surimkage in stocks before investors can be induced to invest capital.

CHAMBERLAIN SATISFIED, VIEWS OF THE LEPUDLICAN GOVERNOR OF SOUTH CAROLINA ON THE ACTION of THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION—IUS ANTICIPATIONS CONCERNING PRESIDENT HAYES’ POLIcy, (Bx TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. } CoLumura, 8. C., March 2, 1877, The deciaration of Hayes as President was received hore as a matter of course, although so early a result of tho count was unexpected. This, coupled with the signal deleat of the irreconcilables, occasioned a little surprise, but po «great disappointment, as the decision of the Presidential contest will have the efect of solving the problem of which of the dnal governments in this State is to exist for the uext two years, 1 called upon Governor Uhamberiain to ascer- tain his views aud the following conversation en- sued:— THE INTERVIEW, Contizsrox bext—How do you regard the declaration of Governor Hayes as President? Governor Cuampun.ain—I regard i as in every respect a Just and legal declaration, I regard it.as giving effect not only to the will of tho people, but to tho equities so called involved in the questions beiore the Electoral Commission and Congress, The action of the Electoral Commission will always make a bright pazo in our history because it per- severed in a critical hour and against vast temptations to swerve from tho true line which separates Stato ana national rights in the great proceas of choosing our Chief Executive, But I especially regard the declara- tion of Hayes? clection as a most auspicious event to all our great public interests, finance, civil service re- form and a just and enlightened Southern policy. It is an event full of promise to the South; ‘to all our poo- ple. When I say all our people, | mean what I say; all our people, both races and both parties. CORReSPONDENT——Do You expect a recognition by him as Governor of this Stato, and will you accept b: action in that matier as final? THE GOVERNOR'S EXPECTATIONS, Governor CHAMBERLAIN—I um not disposed to say what my sp ie expectations aro on these points, 1 Jook upon President Hayes as a wise, firm and just man, [expect him to show those quatities in dealing with all the questions presented by altaire in this State, 1 believe my cause hore—if 1 may spegk of tt in | that compendious way—1s a just cause in every aspect of it; a causo which on every ground of justice, good poli statesmanship or wise regard tor the welfare of South Carolina ought to bo sustained, Betieving this, you can judge what | ex- of President Hayes, t now, | shall that I can show him by @ decent rogard wise public policy and to the strict justice of the caso as between General Hampton and myself, 1 have no favors to ask, vo political services to ask reward for, all [ want is striet iaw nod justice. Connesroxpent—What, in your opinion, should be the policy of the incoming administration toward the South, and pariicularly toward this Stato aud Louis ana? by ¢ vernor CHAMBERLAIN—-Exactly the policy outlined vernor Hayes in his letter of acceptayce Invt duly, That ts worthy to bo the nade mecum of every public man on the Southern quesuon. No surrender or compromise of republican principles; no sanction- ing by action or inact ‘of attempts to overtorow the constitutional guarantees on which — reconstruction here rests; no truckling to hostile elements bere, but a bold, high, honorable liberal policy of the liws—-that is and always has beon my view. I want to see honest and com) mt mon in all the federal ofices ; 1 want to se ul honest and incom. potent men now 10 such offices turned out forthwith; want to seo the new President in all ways showing that he regards ihe Southern white poople as his countrymen, entitied to all the rights of any other class or section of the country. I do not want nor expect him to regard the white people as the only people at the South. Ido not want him to allow, Wherever he bas powor to prevent it, a tow white men to usurp the rights ofa far greater pummber at colered men, | predict that such will be President Hayes’ course.’ Ho cau do, and pe will do, in my judg: ment, far more good to the whole South th. Tilden could’ have done, phatieally and broadly, Jam in favor of the most iiboral and just treatment of the South, All our interests demand repose, peace, security andconcerd, 1 believe we shail have ibem all under Hayes. The interview closed here, It should be remembered that Governor Chatnberlain ix gustamed by troops, A company Is still regularly posted in the State House, with instructions to aid the Governor's negro con- stabuiary if called upou by them, Governor Hampton was not accessible, owing to the iness of a member of his family, FOR AND AGAIN Baltimore Gazetle-—“'Never was a confidence game played on so huge aseale; never Was a naiton so de- ceived in men that it trusted.” Albany Evening Journal: Mr, Tilden has gone down in the last ditch of personal degrauation and political ruin.” Charleston Journal of Commerce:—“Grant’s insult to South Carolina is a trile compared to tho radical slap in the face to the whole country.”” Springtleld Mepublican: resident Hayes’ oppor- tunity, even with the terrible embarrassment of the Louisiana fraud, has grown very large,’? Buffalo Cowrier:—*The magnitude of the victory won cy in the national campatgn of 1876 cannot be eflaced by the fraud which has deprived it of the fruite of its trumph.”? Richmond Whig:—"The speech of Governor Hayes at Fremont, Ohio, a8 reported, reflects no credit upon him. -His aliusion to the letters he has recently re- ceived was out of taste and out of place.’ Chicago 7ridune;—“That heterozeneous combination of miscellaneous and peculiar office-hunters called the resurrected democracy bas gove all to pieces again, In fact, never since it was called up from the political graveyard by the scheme to make Sam Tilden the HAY! 3. upon injustice and frand, we make a charge that is novoriously easy of demonstration."

Cincinnati Commercial:—'*A bailed opponent and disappointed political party may protest; but every day brings with it strong assurance the people are satisfied that thero is po flaw in the lease with which Mr, Hayes will take possession of the White House for four years,”’ ‘ St. Louis Republican:—“The Returning Board ‘elected’ Packard at the same time and by the sama means that it ‘elected’ Hayes, aud if the former can be repudiated thea the latter must certainly ought to be.” Boston Globe:—‘‘There {3 no oceasion for Mr, Hayea to have any policy regarding Lovisiana and South Carolina, except the policy that he is expected to have regarding Massachusotts and New York. He need only to leave them alone and let their own people setile their diMiculties Chicago Times:—‘*The outlook from a new election may be anything but cheering, but {t could not be worse than the establishment of such a precedent ag the recognition of a |’resident elected on the Mexican system of revolution and fraud," Pbiladelphia North American:—lt was a blunder to make Mr. A. 8.

MORRISSEY'S HELP, Atuany, March 2, 1877, There 1s good reason to hope that the special joint committee appuinted to frame a general bill for the better government of New York city will prove itself equal to the task, and that we shall have from its hands very soon a meas- ure that will commend itself to all parties Mr. Woodin has shown an excellent disposition tt tho matter, and certainly Mr. Hamtiton Fieh, with the traditions ot renown and respectability that mantie his shoulders, cannot be otherwise thau forward and urgent in this best and most glorious opportunity o} his life. It is neediess to point out to either of the gentiemen named what New York city requires, At for Mr. Woodin, he knows tho city, as tho saying goes, like a book ; and to Mr, Fish, who has occasion to boat his sbare of the local taxation, the question of ru- trenchment comes homo without the aid of argument, Still there aro no men dovoid of prejudice, and i may be that tho influenco of party predilections will prove tvo much for these gentlemen, and they may yield to the pressure that will inevitably be brought to bear upon them, and give us a bil lacking the great essential of equity. ‘The republicans can pasa any bill they are disposed to, and, knowing this power they possess, It is toa much to suppose they will accept of any plan or method of government tor New York ¢ that will give Tammany Hall one tote of influence more than it has at present, Morrissey’s great good sense 18 the aheot anchor of this jotut committees, Mr. Fit, with but Knickerbocker geneilogy anduail its arietocratic fancier thay be disposed to kick against Morr tion, because, forsooth, Morrissey has no genea at all; bow Mr. Fish young as ho 18, bax learned a wonderful degree of Sense In the rough and tumble of politics, which he bax chosen to accept for his expemence, and, above all, Mr. F is credited = with’ hon esty, that quality above ail others essont to ‘assure confidenc The honesty hoe by general acclaim, and now let us seo the ability he possesses, and he bas it within his power to tink Lis name tow measure of government for New York city, reducing tts burdens of taxation avd simpiilying its system of departments, that the peoplo will bail with satisfaction.
