We.haye only to cite the skeptical to the records of our courtsiund the long list of Sheriff sales which appear from time to time in proof of the analo gy of the simile above set forth.

We have assurance from our State Senator that ho will act upon all Petitions from the people and do all in his power to have them granted, and from his pronipt action as to the repeal of the " Legal Associa tion" bill, we have no t reason to doubt it, for party politics does not enter into this issue any more than it did in that. We are of the same opinion that we ever have been that the power of money to accumulate, which is a thing of no in trinsic value, but merely, a representative ' medium pf exchange, ii one of the most corruptio'principles in `human society, and liege more idleness from which lows deban hery and crime, than all oth er causes combined. If this power was wholly taken from it the hoarding np of money-bags, a hich men , sell' conscien ce, body and soul,. to accompAsh, that they may gratify their lustful!, avaricious propensities, or live in idleness upon its usurious accumulation, would be robbed of its charm, and the substance which money merely represents would be of more value than money itself, and industry, the basis of wealth, would be fostered, and ifs attendant consequenses, honesty, and, comparative happiness, would bia engen 4ered. But as the root of the evil is not Aron tined to our State, we cannot entirely eradicate it; therefore we dial] be forced- 1 to be content with lopping off some of the branches which shade our Collamon wealtla and retard its prosperity.

Tue proposal to increase the salary of the l.'resident is very inopportune. General Grant; it is well known, is not in indigent circumstances, apart .from his official compensation. That is the high est paid to any publ'c servant, and if it ought to be increased, sdl other salaries, for stronger reasons, ought to be increas ed. It will be is signal for a universal de mand from all 'office-holders for an ad vance of wages.' ThCy all get enough.— There is no lack of aspirants to every place at the present rate of compensation. We hope the matter will not be pressed or carried. ,It seems very inopportune fur a re-elected President to be the recipient of a huge pecuniary favor from tho men) tiers of his pirty,in Congress. None of them will vote against it, none of the par ty organs will rppose it; nevertheless it will be a fresh burden upon the people, and will be followed by a large and gen eral inciease of the extenses of the gov ernment, and be another step away from the Democratic simplicity that has hith erto been among the best distinctions of American institutions. IN referring to the late fire at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, the Firs Mar shal of that city, in Isis report says:—' "Tile loud, piercing screeches of the girls on the-top floor were distinctly- heard in the basement. At this time the fire had made a great headway, but even then the hotel employe, attention was disect ed to the great glare laid: Oh, its no-. thing.' and-again, These girls will scare the ghosts if they go-on in that way:— He also slates that 'no pflicient precau twn had brew taken to guard against loss of life in the event of'a tire at the hotel,' and he finds that no efforts were made by the people in the hotel to rescue the girls. Ile thinks theauthoriCes wereso concern ed about the baggage of the guests that human lives were forgptton. Besides the workmen were )oukiug after the baggage, instead of attempting to rescue the en dangered people. If the statements of the Marshal are time, if no attempts were made to save the girls, if the guests were attended to, while the poor creatures in the upper part of the building were burn ing, then somebody should be indicted t•r is serious offence, and punished to the eKtent of the-ltiw. People who keep hotels should be taughtlhat they cannot roast servant girls to keep their guests from being scared. Such an ,outrage its that at the Fah Avenue Hotel should to treated in a serious manner, and not be suffered to pass over as a nine days' won der. 'MERE is a miserable. scandal over the will of Ilorace Greeley.
