"THE SOCIAL evil:'
Of all the iniscrieH noiv* endured by ei\ili/t"?l
man, those lcsiihinj* from violations of the Di?
vine law of sexual pin i : > ?tie probably most
Ki?_raiiti?* and appalling. The stieii-th ??f inun
ln.i'd is sapped; the loveliness of womanhood
traiisfonied into something inexpressibly loath?
some and revoking j even the life-blood of in?
fancy is tainted and flBed with the seeds of
.T'.'-oiiy ;uiil death, by diseases engendered by
lust. The innocent suffer with the guilty ; the
guileless purity of girlhood is ensnared to phy?
sical and moral min ; the. stamina and health
of the rae?' are feaifnlly undermined ; deaths are
ha?1"iinl alni multiplied, while biilhs ?ne ren?
dered fewer and few? r, because of iho pesli
leiico that. wall?, th in ii.n k'n-s?, and threatens
the human species willi general impotence and
anguish ii not with e.vteniiiiiiiti.'ii.
Tbe staii-atics of the hideous vico wherein
this dreadful scourge has its sonne are revolt?
ing, and need only be glance?! at. AU know
that it exists-that it is all-pei vading-that it
is rapidly on the increase. All admit that
sotiH lliing must be (lone; but what!
There is a bill now before our L?gislature
which proposes to h-gali/c?its advocates say, to
regula!. - prostitution? and, since (!ov. Andiew

OUE DIRTY STREETS,
We are as much in fa ?or ol' clean streets as
any one. but weare not of those who Me striv?
ing to hound down a respectable and worthy
iTli/en beciii-te he dans not at complish ?iiipo.?.si
bilities. TI .' greater portion of the press of
this city seems disposed to put the blaine of
the impassable condition in which our street?
now are, upon th?a shoulders of ?Judge Whiting,
as if it u? ie tbrongfa his Influence that tJie
City has bein visited willi one of the heaviest
falls ,,f .-now of the ct iltur'. We say that it is
au utter impOMibilitjf to sweep our si neis while
Ihey are cox .red willi so many feet of snow.
We are anxious that Judge Whiting should be
held up t.? the lerms of his contract, end, from
what we knott of bil character, he is not one who
desires t<? ihirh any responsibility he has as?
sumed. As regarda the eontraci itself, ira must
recollect thal it was made in the inteiot of the
" l?iii'-a." ami required the lowest grade of service
to be perforated for the higheet price? li wai
evident, fioni the manner in which the former
contractors wera grossly neglecting their work,
that something mut. be ?lone, unless out -people
wished the City to Inc.. no a sink of filth and
disease. And in this critical juncture of affairs,
winn eveiy one else held aloof fioni Inter?
fering in th.- matter, J[udge Whiting stepped
nobly forward, and, after bein)? obliged to pay
some |.A' 100 as a bonus for the contract, took
the riTpoii-Srbility of event in;?' it. with this ad?
ditional burden upon it. Immediately after hil
MMUning the work, be notified the Hoard of
Health thal be waa willing to clean the plague
spots of the city, independent of I lie con ti act, and
he fulfilled his promise and has kept to it ever
Mine, it cannot be ?-xpci t??l that J ntl i.e. Whit
lag can afford, after pai Lag so balfe a bonus to
gel possession of the contract, to perform con?
stantly three times Ihr work required by its
terms. We know very well that it is not in tho
interact of ?lean stieets that some few are mak?
ing ?<> h?ud an outcry nliout digged dirty street*,
but because they hope thus to again net hold of
u contract, whereby, while doing nothing, they
managed to make so much money. Wtj trust
HO sensible man will allow the iimit-tain*. of
snow that now lie In our ?tieets ta make him
fbtget thatJprevioiiMly to the lato bt-ivy snow?
storm Judge Whiting had k. }4 gta streets
rlrancr (han tiny had been kept, beforo by any
olher contractor.
At a proper timo we sha!, offer the? Judge
some advice, which cannot be wotlh le??, than
id will cost him. As yet, ho ha. not he ?.un at
tho light end. Ho ?seems not yet to have com?
prehended that street-dirt is p roper ty?a dual,

TUE BOBOEEH TERMES.
The people of \( w-Jeisey, having ?suffers j
beyond the bounds of p:iti'Tieo, BTO petitioning
the Legislature to ?-iitcI ltustii.it will secura
ti ? uty, comt'oiT, and coiivei.ii ni ?? of i
gers u?ing th?; feiiii s, mid compel each feiTj
company to keep and u?e, during the Wintit
at least, eng boat fully provided for speedy
passage through the ice. They aek ???; liial
attention to the condition of the Hosken
ferries, and that a legislative Committee l??a ap
pointed to visit Hoboken this Winter and takr?
testimony fr??m p i??eiij.eis and disinterested
engineers. The Legislature owes * ^racionj
answer to this very modest r.-ipu??:. If th<a peo?
ple of N'ew-Jei??y luul asked that Mr.SteTeaa,
who apjaars to own all Hoboken, and who
certainly has a m??i ?>pol.\ of i:> entile liver t'ronr,
should lio r?aquired to ??lemnify them for th
injuries tlu'.v claim his ferries have inflicted,
they would not han liked a particle too much.
The Hoboken boats ?ne even WOTM than thos?
of the Union Company of Brooklyn I of late,
after ~:'M) p. ni. the boats are run but twice ?ia
hour; they fre.picntly start in a.lvance of the
time fixed; they ate wretchedly lighted wita
oil; and tin; wailing room? are only a littl?.
better than the pena at the Brooklyn baie?,
the bridges are unsafe; wagOtM are allowed to
leave the Iniats while the passen .-vi s are dis?
embarking, many of whom avoid accidents
only by agility ; there is no police system
WOlthy of the name; time is lost, travel r. ,
Iii. ted, and, as the petitioners coircctly BIM r,
the very progress of the State H impeded bj
the want ?if good ferries. The Morris and
Kssex 'Railroad, terminating at Hoboken? hal
greatly added to the ferry travel, and, indeed,
it may be said that, .very New -Vol k f.iry ii
rapidly getting woree in proportion as tli?
needs of the public increase.
'Ibis week, we believe, the Committee tip
pointed by OUI Legislature W-H vi it lili? city,
Wo (?innot he certain that it will su? ??ad hex?
amining the fertieson the Hoboken and Brook*
lyn sides, became h i-possible that the ieewfli
prerent the boat.? from crossing. We should 1??
glad if the Legislature of Xew-.Jeisty would re?
ply favorably, and immediately, to this pt tition,
for consultation of the two (.'oinniittees night
result in unifonnity of the lav | for the regula?
tion of the ferries. Yet, a.? a little cold wcathel
might prevent the hut ting of the Committees,
WC suggest that the liest method of investi/.!
tion would be for the New-York ('..niiniitic to
divide, and that one portion should take Ixiard*
lag in Brooklyn lot ? WW k, ami the other is
Hoboken. If the New -Jersey ( ',,niiiii!'"e v, ?ah?-?
