Mr.. EDITOR: Right glad was to see the re-
eommendation of the Common Councils Com
mittee on this subject, and your decided endorse
meut of the same. The slaughter-houses now
existing in densely populated portions of the city
-on the Eastern side, especially-must be dis
pensed o,th They are, in many respects an
eyil-a nuisance most intolerable-a disgrace to
the people and the government of this great
Metropolis. 1t is one of the wonders OF our
city--in which, it is believed, it has ne parallel
on the gobe-that they should have stood SO
long, Some English poet-Coleridge, think
did, indeed say of certain continental city:


'In-- a town Of monks and bones.
Aud payemers fangd with murde Gus stones,


Of Tags aud hays and hideous wenches,


icouGted ninc and forty stenches


But had he passed through the slaughtcr-house
sections of our Gotham, his nine and forty
stenches" would have seemed to him as Whit
OF air TO hurricane.


Yet let me utter a word of caution here. The
whole matter should be managed with due re-
gard to the rights, convenience and even feelings,
OF the butchers. am, myself, neither butcher,
nor the son. brother, uncle, father, grandfather,
Of butcher. But somehow have got into the
habSt OF using their commodities and have had
not little acquaintance with many of them.
They are not unreasonable men. Nay, as body,
my observation may guide me, they are kind,
generous, public. spirited. Let them be properly
oealt with and they will accede cheerfully to any
WISE, liberal arrangement, the Common Council
!. may be disposed to make. They will see that
:ne comfort, the health, not to say the Pecunlary
interests, Of considerable portion of our popua-
aon 10 would be greatly promoted by the proposed
Gaanse q Many of their own number have Real
Estate IN the region of the existing slaughter
houses, which would, at once rise in value. Let
apuolc slaughter.house, or houses, be established
soove 40 the inhabited part of the city, on the bank
" one OF the rivers, and opened to them in kind
~ spa's' and on fair terms, and they will not, |
sank, either murmur or object
