A simple mind, unaccustomed to subtle distinetions, would find no difficulty in deciding, but would at onee assert that a white man is a man who is white. But such stupidity must arouse the disgust of every profound philosopher. Tt has been clearly establisbed.by the laws of every Southern State, and several Northern States, isclnding Michigan, that aman mag be a white man and at the same time & black man. Everything depends upon the cartilage of the nose, A certain peculiarity of tho cartilage of the nose,” says the sefentific testimony taken be- | fore the Circuit Court of Wayne County, ** is anin- fallible indication of African blood.” This is truly an appalling fact, and may lead to the amputation of | a large number of poses—for ifa man is only ni nigger by reason of that orgap, lot him cut it | off, and instantly he rises in the scale of races. With his nose, o matter how handsome it is, he is a born inferior, destined to follow his nose upon a down- 4 carcer. Withont bis noze such a man may dine I the Prezident. Let every man, then, look to his cartilage; for we greatly fear that black men The Hon, Marvin N. Bovee has written. letter to 3ov.

We say again Eighth-ave. stops in fact at | One-hundred-and-fifticth-st. Iu theory, or according | to the plan of the City, it then runs across some low land uatil it reaches near the line of where One-hund- red-and-fifty-fifth-st. will be in the course of time. It then meets an embankment of dirt and stone, which up to this time extends from the bulkhead line of One- hundred-and-fifty-ninth-st at Hazlem down to about One-hundred-and-fifty-fifth-st. We repeat Eighth- ave. has no actwal existence from One-hundred-and- fiftieth to Oue-handred-and-fifty-fifth-sts., which any person can see by going to the ground. There it will De seen that if the 60,000 cubic yards of *filling” were used they must have been placed on Eighth-ave., from One-hundred-and-fortieth to One-tundred-aud- fiftieth-at., and from about One-hund red-and-fifty-fifth to One-hundred-and-fifty-ninth-st. : The other day a committee of gentlemen, one mewber of which was 8 competent and skilled en- gineer, went upon the ground and exaumined critically the notorious nineteen blocks between One-hundred- and-fortieth and One-hundred-and-fifty-ninth-sts., “worked " in 1865 by Senator- -Commissionér Charles G.

Subtracting this amount from the alleged 60,000 cubic yards of ** fill- ing"” furnished, we get, allowing a generous margin, 50,000 cubie yards of “filling” unaccounted for.

Let those readers who feel any doubt in the premises follow in our footsteps and ex- amine this matter for themselves—if we are in error, we are ready to be corrected; but we feel the greatest | coufidenco when we assert that even the most cursory | examination of the subject will prove the ** working ! of Eighth-ave. as a country road” to be an everlast. | ing monument both of the iniquity of our City ofi- cials and of the supineness of our people, who stand by and look on idly at the consummation of one of the most gigantic schemes of fraud ever perpetrated upon | the public treasury. In 1861, the Legislature allowed for the ** working’ of Eighth-ave. between the above limits the enor- mous sum of £20,000; of this, according to the Street Commissioner’s reports for that year, but $400 34 was spent, and this amount was paid to one Richard Sehofield, as Inspector, for 61 working days at 2 50 per day, making $152 50, and to C. B. Husted, Sur- | veyor, for leveling, $217 84, Thus it will be seen that in 1861 it cost $152 50 for inspecting work amonnting to but $247 &4, and this Sarveyor's work atthat, We cite this not asa large item in itself, but as one cont g the gerwn of iniquity. Il figures in this instance do not lie, this *inspecting ™ is a good business for some one. Let us state a simple proposi- tion inthe Rule of Three: 11 it cost $152 50 for in- specting $247 81 worth of work alleged to have been done in 1864, how much should it cost for inspecting $31,4%7 50 worth of work alleged to have been done in 156 Again: 1fit require one man 61 days to in- spect $247 34 worth of work alleged to haye been done in 1864, bow long & time would it require for in- specting $34,457 50 worth of work alleged to lave been done in 1765 * In Cornell apd Tweed's Ariths metic very many strange thiugs appear.

Germany, in the best case, will have ory a begin- pivg of nutional unity, which will neithede as thor- ough nor as comprebensive as the grea majority of the people conld desire. To complete the work which has now been started will be hereforth the great aim of the German people. Frane, Austria and Rossiaare all unfavorably dispesed t the estab- lishment of a Germany ewbracing all ountries in- by Germans, and they can hardly ail to com- s for preventing the caplete suc- cess of German unity. The struggle of te German nation against these adverse influences i likely to constitute for many years to come the 30st promi- nent question of European politics. The suceess of the Italians and Germas in their natioual aspirations will spur many other nations to emulation. Among them the Hungarims and the Roumaniaus are likely to be foremost, md it will hardly be long erc we shall hear of their eJorts to become independent natious of Europe, The action of the President in the New.Orleans buginess has lost him many friends who hitherto sup- ported his policy, The Sun, formeny & pspes favor- able to the President, revolts from sustabving bis instructions to Mr, Herron.

The length | of this strip is about 2,600 feet, Multiply this length by the width and the product is 78,000 squa: feet, If the 50,000 cubic yards balance of * filling " unac- counted for were used on this part of the road, we arrive at the conclusion by reducing the 50,000 cubic 1 vards to cubie feet and dividing the result by the | 7,500 product aforesaid, that in the year 1565 a layer | of dirt was placed in hth-ave., between One-hun- dred-and-fortieth and Oune-hundred-and-fiftieth-ste., 2,600 feet long, 30 feet wide and 17 feet deep ! Thisis the conclusion to which the figures lead us, Whereas | the fact is that at the very most, not more than 10 or | 12iuches of dirt were placed on the avenue in 1863 between the above limits, This variance is monstrous! Let us take another view of the matter. Eighth- ave., from -Lundred-and-fortieth to One-hundred- | and-fifty-ninth-st. is less than 5,000 feet long, and 4 & couutry road about 30 feet wide. Now if it be frue that 60,000 cubic yards of ** filling” were used in 1865 Letween the above limits, then that * filling” ghould have built the road 5,000 feet long, 30 leet wide and 10 feet deep. But what is the trath? Itis that instead of the road being built 30 feet wide and 10 feet deep for 20 blocks, it is built but 20 feet wide and 10 feet deep for 4 blocks only (from One-hundred- aud-fifty-niuth-st. to One-hundred-and-fifty-fifth-st.) and thenstops. What sane or insane man believes this amount of ** filling” was used. We tell the au- thors of this stupendous fraud that there must be an ond to the business. Notwithstanding the 834,457 50 speut and an extra £10,000 incurred, making it at least $44,000 for * fill- ing" in 1265, Cornell bad the unblushing effroutery to state to Controller Breunau that $30,000 would be necessary for this same * filling” busiuess in 1366, Even Breunan, accustomed as he is to ** big thin couid not staud this; but in Lis City Budget for 1866 | recommended that $25,000 should be allowed for this purpose. As Cornell is Senator as well as Street Commissioner, he managed, by being on the ground | at Albang, to have the Controller’s estimate incre wed | to $20,000, and we supposa that this sum will be de- voted to the same Kkind of ** filling.” Is it not evident where this * filliug” goes at cents a cubic yard! We call the attention of the pu lic generally to this gigantic scheme; and we trust that the gentlemen who have the getting up of the charges against Cornell will lay due stress upon this | *filling” business. If faicly presented, no Governor | could hesitate to remove from power a Street Come- ih- 1f this * filling” business is not an argument in favor | of a Board of Public Works, what is?
