PREPARArIoNs FOR THE SPRING ELECTION Pub
lie opinion appears have at lastquietly and CON-
pletely settled down to the conviction that the
conduct Of the corporation during the last year has
been so fsihess to all their promises, that there Is
not the slightest chance of their reelection, II
they really can have the impudence to offer them
selves again as candidates for the suffrages OF a
community which has been recklessly betrayed
and insulted by them. The wings will probably
run ticket-the locofocos will certainly run a
.icket-and what will, what can become of the
natives? They will be found like the ghost in
Virgil, and their own promises to have vanished
into thin air.


The fact is now universally admitted that the
city of New York has never been under such a
miserable, imbecile, extravagant regime as the
present Such streets-such police-such misman-
agement-such silliness-such faithlessness-such


increase Of taxation-are without parallel in the
history of bad municipal government. Some oi
the milk and water organs make great racket
about the vast improvements In the Aims House
Department, and that the Corporation are thus
entitled to the everlasting gratitude of the citizens
Just as if they had been elected for the sole
and express purpose of making the inmates
of the Aims House, and the wretches on Black
wells Island, as happy ana as comIorap'e
as possible, to the utter neglect Of all the interests
Of the tax-paying citizens But it isquite unneces-
sary to say any thing in order to convince the pub


lie of the worthessness of the present city rulers.
The filthy streets-6lthy beyond all that has ever
been read or heard Of in the dirtiest cities OF the
East-the bad police-the immense load OF taxa
ton-alI these things have already forced too pow
erfpl conviction Of their mistake on the minds Of
the community which elected these imbeciles


His Honor the Mayor will probably end his ca
reer pretty much as that famous Dutch Governor
of this State, who uttered the memorable valedic-
tory declaration of his in gaining public fa-
vor. 81 was" said he, "the most bobular Cover
nor dat ever New York had-I went into Office by
a VERY large majority, and went out by very
larger majority! always did tings with very
large majoritiesj" So it will be with the Mayor.
He went in with rush and he will go out with q
rush.
