This is a mistake. Prior to the passage of, the paving law, the only paved street in Allegheny city was Federal West, from the Bridge to the Diamond. It is now one of the best paved cities in the country, considering its sine and the Short time the present law has been in operation. With regard to this city, CoL Black is aim m istaken, in l aying that the money to pay for paving was raised by taxation. It was wee raised by borrowing, the prinoipal being yet to pay, and we are burdened with a heavy tax to pay the in terest. The Legislature has, by law, prohibited us from borrowing any more, so that we cannot raise the money in that way to pave - the new wards; ithee also prohibited us from levying a tax of more than five mills on the dollar, and as it takes all the proceeds of this tax to ray the interest of our debt, we cannot raise money :for new paving by taxation. The - improvement tax is also limited to two mills en the dollar; mid this yields a sum altogether too rifting . . to meet the wants of the citizens in the way of grading, paving and re.paving. The result is that our new wards have to go unpaved and unguided; that: only remedy being a law similar to that of Allegheny City, with an additional provision levying the cost of the paving already done upon the property adjacent to it. And just as we, on this side, are getting ready to ask for mots a law, here comes this untimely proposition to re peal the example upon whiett4e , wish to base - ' Could anything be more inopportune!

IBIQVALITIBS .4 O 7 ra>e PAVEOO LAiC—The advocates of the repeal of the Allegheni Paving Law, dwell with great pertinacity and some ef fect, upon certain cases of alleged hardship in the operations of the law. Hardly any law can be framed by man which will be exempt from defeMs. We have no doubt there are hard mimes, come of which are irremediable, 'except by making- exception, and otherAriee frem. mis take by those who administer the law, If a pereattanys a null or a low spot in n town,. he .may nittstially expect that it will be injured 'ikon ant/opts are graded, by being left high and dry; or made the receptacle for stagnant Eie pa:chases with this knoiledge, and under these disabilities, and must Mite his risk; and titariak will be the same whether: thO streets `pre graded by a special or a general Ma. We think. however, that the leveling! spirit has been carried too far in Allegheny. The case of kir. Bowen has beeri referred to se one of hard ihip, and we think it will bear that' interpreta tion. ,There is -no absolute necessity for ma ku-sePremont street, or Bridge street, corres pond to the moderate gradient required on busi ness thoroughfare's. If they had been left at the natural level at.the_point where they cross each other, and graded each way from that, all the requisites for the convenience of, the people would have been accomplished, and the whole cif the surrounding ground could have peen covered With comfyrtable and healthy tenements, with but little expense for grading. With the pres ent grade or Tremont street, the stirface of the lota are lifted from twenty to thirty feat above theleiefef the street , and as the whole sabers tom is\oomposed of a slaty rock most difficult to quarry, the lots are not'worth the coat of grading. In our opinion, the Councils would ponsulf econ omy, justice and utility, by filling- up Tremont sheet afa regular. grade to Beteseca, starting from the present level of Bridge street, or nearly so. That part of Allegheny will' never be re quired for bitsinese purposes, and we do not think it will detract any thing frotq its beauty to have a few steep streets, and to 'dot dwellings over ground of unnequal surface. It will cer lainly add greatly to its picturesque character, and will harmonise with the bold Scenery widish . earn:ands B. It will be incomparably better than to witness for, the next half century the bald desolation of bare and harreardels, crumb lingdunto deep ditches, dignified with the name of striate, the terror of every benighted traveler, and iilnonnment - or the rage fiir leveling. Tun Man Sculoot..—We obsem our neighbor of thi.Post, .labors under a oxist;he which has die Posed canny of our citizens to disapprove of the High School'Law, koir in active and encomia% fed operation in this city. That paper publishes a copy of a receipt given for taxes on ono house on Siroodatreet, and then adds the following cam emit: "By this receipt it will be seen.that, while the owner .of that house and lot pays Putfor the ward publie school, bp pays s , 2l;so—almost twice as mach—for the annual' supper of the irighliehool. _lf this single house and lot pays $21,50 for that -purpose, then a little over three hundred houses arid lots will pay all the ex penses' of that school every year. • There are perhaps four times that. number of' 'houses and lota in the ,First Ward alone; and: at this rate of _taxation Toni times the - money for the support of ;that scheol would be mired:in that .ward alone.. — Tet the schoolia supported by a general tax over sit rho nine wards." Ir is 'surprising that the editor of the Post did net see the utter absurdity of the idea, that the Directors would lay a tax ten-fold greater thatriese neencd; A little inquiry ln the right quarter, or en examination of the- Law itself, would' have showed him, that the Central Board which has control of the High School, also has chart&F all the Ward Schools, employing the teachers and paying them out of the Central Fttaii; which tbo assessors denominate impro patty the High School Feted; or 4a.c.
