Contrary to' general. expoo LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS. rail8 fails Tne late legislatare The Way Brook lyn Fared. It cannot be disguised that tho tax paying population of the State look with apprehension upon the assembling of our State Legislature, and experience a feeling of relief when it has adjourned. The late Legislature is said to have been oven more corrupt than any of its predecessors.

Though the party which is founded on great moral ideas, and which claimed a monopoly of the civic virtue of the country, was in an immense majority, venality was almost openly manifested, and it most assurededly did not receive any rebuke from the majority. Brooklyn we believe has, however, fared rather better than usual. Our unfortunate charter has of course received its annual overhauling, Our legislators seem to regard the charter of Brooklyn as John Brougham's parliament looked upon laws in general, when on opening its diurnal session it was deoreedthat "To commence in the usual way, AH laws made yesterday we repeal to day." It is impossible to say whether the amendments made are in fact what they purport to he. It is proposed to abandon several experiments which have been tried, and whioh failed less from any imperfection in the law than houses have been built or are in oourae of ereotlon, and the docks' and buOdiiigi aro full of petroleum, tarpon tine, molasses, sugar; etc. WOBK Of A FEW YjtAES.

But a few years ago this whole spot was but alow, Bandy beaoh, running out a good distance before high water was reaohed. Here wasttegretbatning ground; here In our younger days many a boat was moored, while from her bow, diving was the order of the hour. Many a time havo the wdrds of the poet boen hero verified: I stooped and wrote upon the sand My name, the year, tho day." Buthowohangednowl The appliances of brain and muscle have dredged but that spot, and tho mwsive with the world's productions.the monster warehouses, with their scores and hundreds of bueT workmen, all atteat bow great a change 1b wrought. The lath ward, as you push into it, possesses many of the largest business firms in tho city. B.

W. Adams immense lumber yard, Smith Jewell very large flour mills, the Fibre Bisentegrating Easter's Foundry, and very many others embrace some of the very extensive flxmB in this city. In William street, within a few years, the entire blodr, from Van Brant to Richards, has been built up with neat two story brickhouses, of uniform size and height, while immediately in tho centre stands the William Street M. E. Church, built within the lost year.

It is a neat brick building, and contains a membership now of over ono hundred, with a Sunday Sehool embracing about 400. It is under tho pastoral care of (he Bev. A. S. Francis, and the school is superintended by Charles H.

Such are but a few of the very numerous improvements which have been made in this locality within a few years. Several other very large buildings with, steam engines of fine order will bo touched upon in a future article. ft sals ot the first series of of the 7 30 Loan was completed on the 31st ot March, ISM. Tho silo of tho second series of Threo Hundred Millions, payablo three rears from the 15th day of June, 1865, was beguu on the lat of April. la tho short space of thirty daja, over One Hundred Millions of this series have been leaving this day less than Two Hundred Millions to bo disposed of.

Tho interest 1b payable semi annually in corroncr on the 15th of Dfr comber and 16tb of June by Coupons attaohed to each note, which are readily cashed anywhere.

The 7 30 Notes cannot bo taxed by towns, Cities, Conn tics or States, aud the interest is not taxed unless on a surplua of tho owner's income oxcooding six hundred dollars a year. This fact increases their value from ono to three per cent, per annum, according to the rate leviod on other property. SUBSCBIBB QUICKLY.

This amount, at tho rate at which it is being absorbed, will all bo subscribed for within two months, when tho notes will undoubtedly command a premium, as has uniformly beou thocasaon olosing tho subeoriptioiia to other Loans.

It now seems probabto that no considerable amount beyond tho present soriei will bo offered to tho public. In order that cilizonB of every town and section of tho country may bo afforded faoilitioa for taking the Loan, tho National Banks, State Banks and Privato Bankora throughout tho country havo generally agreed to receivo subscriptions at par.

wnen gold came tumbling from two 'hundred down tt a hundred and fifty, dry goods and, to some extent, provisions declined in proportion. During the past two weeks there has been a re action; gold has kept in the vicinity of a hundred and fifty, but dry, goods and many other articles have advanced in price. Gold will not come down to the vicinity of par until there is a general resumption of speoie payments, which cannotbe expeoted for some time. That domestic commodities should range at higher figures now than they did a few weeks ago is less intelligible, The most satisfactory reason assigned, is that heavy purchases have been made in anticipation of the opening of the Southern market. Our manufacturing establishments have been producing only sufficient goods for the Northern demand, accumulating ho stock on hand, in view of the uncertainties of the future.

A suddenly increased demand for the Southern market would naturally put up prices. President Johnson has removed the restrictions on commerce with the Southern States, and trade will soon be re opened. But while the demand at the South for Northern merchandise will temporally enhance prices of manufactured goods, the increased supply of cotton, will soon cause a reaction. We may likewise expect a large exportation from the South of corn, riee and sugar which will affect the provision market favorably. The government contracts for army supplies are being reduced, and will soon termi nate, as will the government monopoly of means of transportation, which has been the means to some extent of limiting the amount and increasing the cost of such articles as coal and western produce.

The restrictions and disabilities of war being removed, trade will be adjusted according to the immutable law of supply and demand. But it will take some time to restore things to their normal condition, and depend to some extent on the financial measures of the government. Scarcity or Houses. To day dozens of families in this city have been literally turned out of doors, compelled to abandon housekeeping and live in a boarding house, becauso there are not houses enough in the city to accommodate all who want them. Bents have enormously increased, in some cases the most extravagant prices have been paid, because people must have shelter, and there are still numbers of families left literally without a home.

Many have sold off their furniture at auction, others regarding the change as but temporary have kept their furniture and stored it, and so numerous are the latter that storage is at a premium, every building to bo hired for that purpose being crowded. During the past few days, storage room for furniture even, has been as difficult to obtain as eligible apartments. If five hundred additional houses could be put up in this city, within a week they would be all taken. The scarcity of houses has become a serious matter to the great majority of the population who are at the mercy of landlords and agents. There is no immediate prospects of relief.

Not only are wages high and materials dear, but the taxation on real estate is so heavy that few capitalists care to invest their money in building speculations when they can buy government securities at a high rate of interest and exempt from taxation. The whole burthen of local taxation now falls on real es tate. Compute the cost of building a house at the present rates of wages and materials, add the taces, and it will be seen that the present rate of house rents would scarcely leave an adequate return on the investment. Two thirds of the present real estate owners are anxious to sell their property, and few purchase except for their own occupation. The subscriptions to the national loan are absorb ing all the capital of tho country.

In a patriotic point of view this is very gratifying, but local interests have to suffer for it. TnE South Opened to Commeboe. Presi dent Johnson has issued an order, under date of April 29, in which he states that desiring to encourage loyal citizens to return to peaceful pursuits, it is orded that all restrictions upon internal, domestic and coastwise commercial intercourse in the several Southern States in our ljnes be removed, excepting such restric tions as are duly ordained by law; and excepting also articles contraband of war, as arms. ammunition, gray uniforms, etc. All military and naval orders to the contrary are revoked by the present order.

The people of New York saw fit to elect four Democrats and oneBepublican to preside over the Court of Special Sessions. The Legishv ture, at its last session struck off the four Democrats and now the Court consists of one of each party. How effectually this way of setting the will of the people at defiance will reduce the Democratic majority new lorir. remains to be seen. A question.

To the Editor of The BrooWyn Eagle: Will vou be Good enough to inform a reader of jour paper whether General Scott 1b a full or a brevet iieutenant General And oblige, yours truly, A. M. R. General Scott is Lieutenant General by Brevet. Eeally there la no such rank as Lieutenant General in our army General Grant'B office was created by a special act of Congress, and unless provision is mado by Congress he will have no successor in the office.

It was provided in the act under which Grant was created Lieutenant Gen. eral, that nothing therein contained should bo construed to the prejudice of Gen. Soott as the Commander of the armies of the United States under the President. Qen. Scott had, however, been placed on the retired list at tho time, at his own request, with full pay.

It is quite possible that nt the next session of Congress stops will be taken to remodel tho organization of tho army with ro. gard to rank and classification of officers. The rebels adopted the French Bystom of organization, and it is bo lieved to be more convenient than ours. Under it there were brigadier generals, commanding brigades, major geneialB, commanding divisions, lieutenant generals, commanding individually an army, and a full Genera (tee), commanding all the armies In the field The New Justices and their Clerks. This morning at 9 o'clock the new Justices took their seats.

Justice Cornwell was immediately overwhelmed with work, and went at it as naturally at though he had not been off the bench for the past four years. In tho seat so long occupied by Michael Walsh, now Justice, appeared a new Clerk Mr. Jacob Schmidt who appeared to take hold of his new duties under, jtafldinngly. Justice Cornwell receives $2,500 his 850. His Honor Judge Buckley took his seat this morning, vice Jadf0 Adams.

106 business of this Court, usually light, is conflned to civil business, and this morning very littlo'waa done, JnflSe toiiew has named as his clerk, Mr, Andrew Walsh, na9 Eomo tim() ofncfartefl in that caMdtr. He was formerly meatox of the Logisla capacity. rmiient to fulfill his duties, hire, and is entirely compel" a too First District, Court sueet, Judge Boerum gave way to Judge Walsh, who began bis offleia! term at 9 o'clock this morning, with considerable baslno.s raady for his decisions, Ho has selected for his Clerk Mr. Edward Crummey, of the Fifth Word Mr.Orammey is a native of this city, nas for some time acted as Clerk in the office of the City Clerk, and la every wayeompo, tent to discharge the duties devolved upt, bim by thi appointment. Bis not unlikely ttot tbA'e three ap.

pointmenta will be confirmed by the Board Aldermen thiserenlng. In'their selection the new Justices appear to nava endeavored to appoint clerks' ho are alike reco.m mondedby capacity, industry, and little identified witCi tho different factions which have for years divided tho Democracy of this country. The Court rooms of these offiolalfl aro in an unseemly, if not a filthy oondition and the attention of tho Board of Aldermen 1b called to the fact that certain ropairs are imperatively demanded. Some official action should bo had in this matter promptly. Thb Cotots.

Onr Domestic Nomads Lares and Penates on Wheels Carts, Cartmen Confusion. Brooklyn is to day on wheels. Every hearthatono becomes nomadic; evory staid paterfamilias jumps out of htB houBO over banicades of chairs, sofas and bureaus, which, guarded by hard fisted and harder hearted cartmen, are gathered about all the doors.

Every servant is "going in" with a vongeance, and tho furniture going out with a crash. May day, the annual dread of all except the vehicular brigade, the secondhand dealer, the wbitewasher, and the ropalrer of furniture, 1b present among us. This is the day whon the tenantry of Brooklyn appoint themselves a fast; humiliation site perched upon the broken bureau, and tho prayers of nervous housewives hang over the contents of the rumbling cart, Tho institution of annual moving is supposed to have boen invented at the request of the carpet dealers, paper hangers, stove men, by a blue blooded, hard hearted old landlord; some inveterate old human crunt, who didn't have six curly balred daughters to warm his slippers for him and make bis cup of mild Bohea when he camo homo every night from business. Ho must have been a sort of Ishmael among men, with every man'a heart against him, and his rent roll against everybody. How ho must have delighted to turn poor widows with nine small children out in tho cold on stormy nights, end how he must have chuckled, when he finally bethought himself of this refinement of cruelty, in making everybody give up their May day dances, and take to moving all their earthly goods to other tenements, smashing pier glasses and bottles of favorite Heidaick, and getting holes punched through favorite portraits, and having boated discussions with cartmen all tho vay from tho first house to the stopping place.

Perhaps, however, this is doing injustice to tho race of landlords. Certain it is, howevor, that moving to thoso who do not own their bouseB, that moving is as sure as fate. Tho house occupied now is the worst ono iu tho city, and so was the ono of last year. There is no comfort anjwhere, and the family must move. This yoar tho cry of economy has beon most torriblo to hoar; land, lords availing themselves of tho unusually small amount of building going on and tho gceat rush of people to our city, havo assumed an air of indepoudonco positively nabobiBh, whilo the tenant has had to per fume his greenbacks with supplications tho most in order to obtain a houso at all.

If the conttugoncios of matrimonial life had blessed him with more or loss of a juvenile brigade tho chances of getting under a roof were tlim indeed. After au advauco of thirty to fifty per cent on rents tho landlords still stood masters of tho position. Tho miaory which culminates with to day baa been long drawn out. Wretchedness in antl. cipalion has been tho conataut vision.

Tho careful wife has insisted upon taking up the carpets, and packing up the china and valuablos, about a week before the 1st of May. Some females go so far as to tako down tho bedsteads, and raako their families quite unoorntortablo for Bomo timo previous to the dreaded occasion. Things generally are disarranged, and every one iu tho hcuso finds everything ho requiros for daily use, either packed up or deposited in some unfamiliar place. Noxt comes tho bargain with a carman. Ou any other ocea.

aion reasonable prices provail, or tho atatuteilaw auili oiintly protects the citizen; but on Mayday, "solf in. tercst" as a general rule governs thi; c.msciencoa of carmen, overrides the laws of tho State, nulliliua municipal ordinances, aud exacts from tho unfortunate householders a large sacrifice of greenbacks for a very Iittlo eervico rondcrcd by the owner or driver of a horse and cart. No friendly greenback can bo interposed to pievent tho extortion of thoso who ruu tho "moving', machinery on May day. Iu fact, for a week previous, and anterior, the carmen reap a rich harvost, partially through the fears of thoso about to uiovo, that they can. not obtain other transportation service, aud partially becauso business men aro glad ta got tho matter off their minds.

On Saturday last thero were mauy carls, loaded with all sorts of valuables, to bo seen making their way aloug tho streets. This morning at three, four and five o'clock, families were uroused, and put on wheels with all they possessed, and all day long tho mjv. era were grumbling, lifting, pulling, hauling and, in some instances, swearing. But to night, a city fall of confusion will sleep soundly, and in semi content, notwith" standiDg the chaos provailiug, for moving will bo over, and tho family will have for 304 days a local habitation as well as a namo, Tho next terror is quarter day, which comes thiB year freighted with a pecuniary responsibility of no mean dimensions. But let us not borrow trouble.

Sufficient with tbo day is the moving thoroof The rain of the day has detained moving considerably aDd what worldy goods havo been transported from tho resting place of 1SC1 5 to that of 1S0S 0, were pretty well wet. Beds, unusually damp, iu dismal rooms, all in confusion, will contain Bleepera remarkably sound, and who will awake to morrow morning iu tho crossest of moods. Woo to weather if tho rain shall continuo until that timo. Tbe Steamboat Accident on the Missis, sippi Details of the Loss ot the The steamer Sultana, as already statod, arrived at Memphis on tho 26th from New Orloans, with 2,200 people on board, of whom were exchanged Federal prisoners from Yickaburg. Sho left Memphis about 1 A.

of the 21th, and when about eight mileB higher up tho river on explosion of ono of her toilers occurred. The boat, with its mass of liviug freight, fcok fire in tho vieinity of tho engines, and in a Bhort timo sho was burned to tho water, and now lies on a sand bar near Fogloman'a Landing, nothing visible but her charred romaina and jackstaff standing erect. Tho scene following tho explosion was heartrending and terrible in the extremo. Hundreds of people woro blown into tho air, and descending into tho w.atoc, some dead, somo with broken limbs, somo scalded, wero borne under by tho resistlesa current of tho great river, novor to riao again. The survivors represent tho screams a3 agonizing beyond precedent Somo clung to frail pieces of tho wreck, as drowning men cling to straws, and sustained themselves for a fow moments, but finally becamo exhausted and sunk.

Only tho beat swimmors, aided by fragments ot tho wreck, wero enabled to roach the woods, and there take reiugo, until rescued by boats sent from the landing at Memphis to their assistance. There were about fifteen women and children aboard, and as near as can be ascertained not more than two or three have been saved. Somo ot tho wrotcked people were borne by the current bb fir down as tho MempniB revee and this was the first intimation the officers of tho boats In that port received ol tno terrible disaster. A yawl waB immediately sent out trom tho Marble City, and in a few momenta several petsons ivero picked out of tho water aiid brought ashore. Two woro af terwai'd found clinging to the wheel, and thay were also saved.

Upon being brought to a realisation of tho calamity, tho officers of the boats in port, under notification of Captain Senior, of the River Guard, steamed up, aud in a Bhort time were ot tho burning steauior, whero hundreds of peoplo wore picked up aud brought to Mem. phis londlng, arriving about daylight. They wero mot by a number of citizens aud Iadios, who supplied them with abundance of dry clothing from tho Quartermaster's department and from various stores. Tbe mate ol tho Sultana, 'Paberry, says that the steam on the vessel was not so high as is usually carried, and he thinks that a torpedo shaped like a lump of coat must have caused tho explosion. The investigation ordered by General Washburno is now proceeding.

It is calculated that over ono thousand souls have boen hurled into oternity by this tbe most terrible of steam boataccidenls on record. The Rebel Ram Stonewall Expected Arrival on this Coast. By the last accounts jtftt received of the rebel iron clad ram Stonewall, CapjHi Pago, that piratical craft would appear to be making uBway towards the coast of some of the Northern States. The Stonewall sailed from Lisbon on the 25th of March; proceeded to tho Madoiras, and was last heard of at Tenerifle, where she coaled and provisioned and put to sea again, on the 1st of April. It 1b believed she was making her, way to the Weat In dies, whence she would start on a raid against some of the Northern ports, In the extremity to which tho rebol causo is reduced it is not improbable that some such desperate onterprize may have been resolved on.

Ironclads have been placed in the various harbors to meet such an emergency. Tbe Roanoke, and other iron clads and a torpedo boat, will tako care of Now York. Later advices from the West Indies wiU bo looked for with interest Bbevet Brkiadier Gbnebai, JouaDAN. We were in error in Btating on Friday that Brigadier Gen eralJonrdan had resigned bis position in the Army in consequence of being superseded by an officer of inferior grade. General Jourdan resigned from matters of interest in bia family which required his presence home.

He was highly esteomod by his superior officers and was offered position In the rognlar army If ho chose to accept It. His command regretted his determination to resign. He has been placed in command of brigades since 1862, and often commanded divisions, several times superseding older officers whoso abilities wero not of as high au order as General Jourdin's.

The vast improvements which have been mode in Brooklyn, for a few years past in the way of building, show how rapidly and certainly our city is taking her rank among the great cities of the world. So immediately along side New York, and with suoh identical interests, New Yorkers have rather regarded Brooklyn aB a grand lodging house, where after the tolls and busy cares of the day, they might sweetly repose. It has beon claimed that here were no large warehouses, no mam. moth business structures, no buildings saoh as meet the eyo everywhere In the lower vicinity of New York; and only residences, palatial though tney be, Btill but residences, composed tho buidrngs of Brooklyn. It is not necessary to Bhow the falsity even of this conclusion, for every one who is at all familiar with our water front localities, knows full well that there are many very fino structures used for business purposes.

But withtu the last fivo years, Brooklyn has taken a lead in fino ware houses for storage, and now oontains many of tho very finest of tho kind in this oountry. One in courso of ereo Uon wbb noted in tho Eaolb a fow days since, and largo, commodious and ooniplefe as that Is promised to bo, there is one now being built on Atlantic street, which oven will greatly surpass that, and when completed, will le tee largest w.vrehotjse in the would. It is to bo located where once stood tho depot and bridges of the Long Island Railroad Company, and covers all tho ground occupied by their works, and extending further out in tho stream. The foundation uas necessu rily to bo laid on the wafer, and to meet this emergency, as well as toerocl a building wnicnwm wnnsuuiu iuu action of the tides, tho entire surface has been driven with pitas, over deep water which has an average depth of 12 Icet, and in some places of 20 feet. These piles arc driven into 10 feet of solid ground, THE PILE DRIVER used for this work is, of course, driven by steam, and each pile was forced by a weight equal to SOU tons oi gradual pressure.

No mien weignt coma oyer towo upen any single portion of the building, but tb.ua.every precaution has been taken to renoer mis Duiiuiug very durable. Tho labor was commenced on tuopiie timing in Anrmst. ISM. and was completed only on Friday last, occupying nine nionitis, nearly, in driving the piles for tho foundation, thero being eigUy Uoohimdredpilesmiov the buildincr. In driving theso piles down, the labor was at first impeded by the discovery of some 100 feet of old crib work, which was filled In with very Heavy mouuraiu rock Bupposcd to have beeulaid there some 40 years ago.

In order to secure a passage through this granite impediment, it was found necessary to firmly attach to tho end of the piles sleel jrauils, and thus the piles wero driven through rock and all. In many instances they slid aloug the bard stones, and oftentimes a pilo was thus forced several feet out of the way. Across these piles are to be laid heavy oak planking, together with iron braces in a zig zag courso. The ties aro of white oak, and run clear through tho foundation wall, and are rivottod on tho other sides of tho walls with iron bolts, VA feet in longth. Besides this, as an additional security and method of strength, the piers ore to be capped with throe heavy Btonea, smoothed and planed, so as to fit tightly one upon the other.

WHAT AN ABCHTTECT FBOM CHIOAQO SAYS. A very prominent architect from Chicago visited this building a few days ago, and viBWed the foundation at high water. He immediately pronounced it a fool hardy piece of work, to attempt to erect a durable structure thus. Mr. Hood, the general Superintendent, told him to come at low water.

He did so, and as ho beheld that entiro surface studded with piles, all driven in at dead low wider, he said It was tho most wonderful foundation ho had ever seen. Upon this foundation will rest tho ground floor of tho buiMine. The warehouse is to bo 2 10 feet long by 180 feet broad; five stories high and built of brick, with iron shutters. The walls are to be i)i feet in thickness all around, and the structure will requiro iico million five hundred thousand brtcks to complete it. There aro to be no cross walls at all, thero being ono immense floor from end to end.

When completed, it will bo the largest warehouse in the world. At all the door openings and windows there aro to be inverted arches, and tho ceilings are to be supported by oak columns, 12 by 12 feet, tho caps being 10 by 12 feet, tho top of the columns being four feet in length. A NEW PIEE BUILT. In connection with this warehouse, David Dows Co. have built a now pier and bulkhead.

The pier is 300 feet long and 30 feet wide, and is made in the most substantial manner. Nowhere on tho East Bivor is there a better water front than hero, the water being of an almost marvellous depti, and free from eddies, currents, etc. THE MIOBABLE COST. of the building and pier, will be, when completed, somewhere about $100,000, tho foundation alono costing about $10,000. Everybody will readily admit, that this mammoth Btructuro will, be welcome sight, and will form an agreeable contrast to the low, dingy brown shanties which so long have been an eyesore to travellers over the South Ferry.

Mr. TiY. H. Hazzard is architect, and Mr. Asbfiold mason.

The Twelfth Ward Improvements. No section of the city presents in so marked a degree, the rrogress of improvement, with its benofl cont results as the Uta Ward. One needs but to leavo the Hamiltan Avenue Ferry, and walking along the.At aDtic Docks, examine tho vast loads of grain and other precious merchandise, which daily aro arriving, to be satisfied of the stupendous work done hero daily. Tho constant buzz of the engfne, loading and unload. ing vessels, the contimw rolling oi arriving ana depart ing trucks, betoken wmt a umj iw jo mis.

THE ATLANTIC DOCK COMPANY own two miles of pierage and bulkheads. Their docks extend south from Haoilton Avenue ferry, 3,000 feet, or little over half a mile; eastward about 800 feet. The rear has a water lace of 2,000 feet. The entire amount of water front is about 14,000 feet, with about 5,000 feet of storo front. Tho wirchouses together cover over 15 acres of land.

They are generally large, convenient and admirably adopted to the uses for which thoy arc appro nriated. Two of them in particular known as tho Mas ters' and LaimberB' "Warehouses, will hold over two million bushels of grain, each. Theso warehouses are stored with such merchandize as graiu, teas, sugars, tobacco, oic. The Atlantic Docks wero originally, built by a company of capitalists, who set about the task of securing repositories, where vessels could break bulk, and discharge cargoes whilo waiting a market. The enterprise was a new one, and the location entirely new.

Kothing but a vast water front presented itself, and much of that too low for any commercial purposes. It was up hill work, but constant perseverance alone crowned thoir efforts with Buccess. By dredging heavily they have secured a mean depth in the basin of 12 feet ot water, which readily admits of most grain vessels; while along the East Biver, vessels ot heavy draught can be accommodated. THE GRAIN TRADE hero finds its heaviest outflow, as about one eighth of the foreign tonnage of New York discharges here, and most of the canal tonnage. Indeed so much of the lat.

ter trafflo is here, that the Atlantic Basin is called tho Eastern terminus of the Erie Canal. In order to Bhow the wonderful capacity ot tho mammoth buildings hero, particularly the new ones, an estimate is made, if an acra of land produce 20 bushels, which is but a fair yield, it would requiro 90,000 acres to fill the Masters" warehouse! alone. TbS same amount filled in canal boats, would extend over a distance of fiv miles. Only think of that, five miles of bread I These buildings aro 401 feet long by 180 deep, or 82,800 square feet. WHAT THE ELEVAI0E8 DO is matter of ewioslty to thosa who have never seen them work.

Their appearance 1b not of the most com plote order as far as symmetrical taste is concerned, but like many other thingB, they are better than they loos. They are used to transfer grain from ship to store, or tice vtria performing the labor necsssuy In shifting it. From the elevator depends a long Bpout, which is lowedintothe hold of the vessel or boat, from whence tho grain is ekvafed to the top story, where it goes through a process of oleMHing, so as to be ready foe transportation. The amount of labor they perform is al jjioBt marvellous, and for laboring men to. suppose that theiie should be superseded by ordinary hand work, is as foolish sua insane, as to desire to blot out tho.

Practical Pacifieation. President Johnson's proclamation opening all those ports of the South occupied by oar armies to internal and coastwise commercial intercourse, is worth a volume of speeches as indicative of the good intentions of the executive. Nothing will tend more to restore friendly feeling between our people than the restoration of the commercial intercourse which was alike beneficial to both sections. The revival of trade will turn the minds of both and South from war. It is difficult for men to be idle without being mischievous, and the opening of trade with the South will afford a field for individual ener gy, which might otherwise be employed in an attempt to unsettle a pacification that brought with it a few of blessings of peace.

Again, while trade with the South is confined to favored persons, the class interested will zealously oppose any measure which might deprive them of exclusive privileges by restoring the country to its former condition, leaving all to share in the advantage of free intercourse between the North and the States lately in re bellion. Nothing will tend mote to restore a lasting peace than a policy under which no class will profit by lceoping alive disaffection. Tor four years the energies of the nation have been turned in one directionto making war. With the close of the war there will be no adequate field for enterprise and effort, unless we open all the old avenues that lead to national prosperity and happiness. It is impossible to overestimate the evil influence among us of a class profitting by disturbance.

Had trade with the South been made exceptional, there would have been no eagerness on the part of those who were making money out of the existence of disaffection to quiet it. As a practical measure of peace, we place the highest importance on the President's timely proclamation, and we hail it as the harbinger of even better things in the future. The promptness of the WarDepartment it is said at the instance of the President in providing for the reduc tion of our armies, the suspension of contracts for material of war, is also judicious and inspiring, The administration which takes the earliest opportunity for reducing the power to prolong the war, can hardly but be in favor of policy which will lead to an early and a general peace. Wo rejoice in these acts for another reason. There are men who seem to desire a war with a foreign power as a means of reconciling the bitterness engendered by civil strife and of cementing the Union between both sections.

Much as we are attached to the Monroe doctrine," and heartily as we desire peace, wa do not believe in seeking to establish either through war at this time. Let us first recruit our overstrained energies, and repair, in some degree, the wastes of one war before undertaking another. We have no respect for either the man's heart or head who looks to peace through additional bloodshed, under any pretext, however specious. The men who founded the Republic hoped that federated Eepublicanism might in time be adopted as the true system ot goverinent among nations. They did not, howevor, expect to spread by war the principles to which they were attached.

They hoped to give to the great States empires themselves which formed our federated Eepublic, a government so good, so wise, so beneficient so able to guard itself from outside aggression and to I settle internal disputes without bloodshed, that the world world accept the government they founded as the model government of the world. It was by the force of good example and not by the force of arms that they hoped for the fulfillment of the "manifest destiny" of this country, and the spread of truer principles of government in others. We can in no way break down the power of the government established through European interference in Mexico, so surely as by showing the people of Mexico that by joining their fortunes with us, it is within their power to secure for themselves a better government than Maximillian can give them. If the people of Mexico desire a change, they can have it through their own efforts. We will secure them from further interference from abroad and we cannot be expected to do more.

By their internal divisions the 'people of Mexico kept the finest country on tho earth useless to the world and a blot upon its history. With full faith in Eepublicanism, wo have no fears that we shall suffer by comparison with the form of government established in Mexico. Whatever stability the present government in Mexico has, is due to the fact that through it the Mexican people hare secured a tranquility to which they were unaccustomed, and a promise of prosperity which they had not before. We regard the recent action of the administration as indicative of a desire to establish domestic tranquilty and of a wish to conduct bur foreign relations with a temperate dignity which a consciousness of power and right on our side ought to inspire. Wo are opening a new volume of our history, and for our own part we have no desire that its opening chapters shall be stained by blood, either American or foreign.

The way to peace is now through conciliation and magnanimity. The way to Union is through forbearance toward, and forgiveness of, those whom we would make in fact, as in name, our fellow citizens. Tho conduct of the new ad ministration will receive tho hearty approval of those who, like ourselves, see in the victories achieved in peace, more enduring mono, ments of national greatness, than the fleeting viotoiies war ever left behind. The Ice Tsade. While gold is coming down, and nearly everything else merchantable about to follow suit, the ice companies ha76 combined to raise the price of ice during the coming season to $28 per ton wholesale to families, and $10 per ton tomarketmen.

This is considerably higher than it was last season, when the supply was less and gold ranged at over 200. The ice men calculate that the Southern ports will be opened this Summer and a new impetus given to the trade. The ice men may overstep their calculations, people gan do without ice; they used to do without it, the people of the South have done without it during the past three years. If the people choose they can turn the tables on the ice men, by a little self denial for one season. It is evident that the ice dealers have come to a mutual understanding to keep up the price of something which ought now, if ever, to be among the cheapest of all articles of household consumption.

Just think of a common product of nature which can be sawed out in great blocks at the cost of a few cents a ton, Belling at about double the price of coal, which has to be picked out of the bowels of the earth in few favored places, and the handling: of which involves, more labor and money, ot every stage of it, than ice. The ice business is not mifficiently regulated by compe tition. The trade is one which should be more extensively carried on in those regions whore ice is plenty and of the finest quality, three or four months of the year. There are lakes and rivers within railway lines, where capital and enterprise could find a' most pros peronj field theix expenditure. Irom the way in which the law was enforoed.gj The power to make contracts is restored to the Board of Aldermen.

This we regard as as improvement. Tne present Board of Contracts has given unusual dissatisfaction. From the secresy attending its proceedings there were opportunities for wrong doing which will be checked by the publicity attending the pro ceedings of the Board of Aldermen. The Aldermen are to be paid a fixed salary, instead of so much per meeting as at present. This is at once equitable and economical.

Under the present system the compensation of the Aldermen has varied from $500 to $1800 per annum. There was no check upon the amount Aldermen might draw from the treasury except that imposed by their own lack of ingenuity and hardihood in finding pretexts for frequent meetings of the Board and its Committees. The present Board of Aldermen, we believe, have not abused its opportunity, but that is more than can be said for its immediate pre decessor. The Tax Commissioner's office has been abolished, or rather the duties of that officer have been transferred to the Board of Assessors, To enable the Board to perform its new duties, two members will be added. This clause of the law will not go into effect until the first of January next.

Thero is one "amendment" to the charter which we hear of for the first time with tho passage of the law. Whoever favored the amendment referred to, we are satisfied, did not desire that it should be publicly comment ed upon, until comment is useless. If any disinterested man has asked for a provision in the charter compelling the tax payers of this city to contribute $4000 per annum for the support of tha Long Island College Hospital, we would be glad to hear from him the reasons which influenced him. The Long Island College Hospital is an institution owned by private individuals. It provides, we believe, for the admission of people who may require immediate surgical aid, but we are satisfied that there has been no such call upon its charity as would justify it in asking $4,000 per annum as compensation.

Tho City Hospital provides for such cases. Once or twice in six months an accident may happen in the southern portion of the city, and possibly it may be injudicious to remove those who suffer from it to the City Hospital, the more complete and more desirable institution. But such cases are very few. If the Long Island College Hospital desires to be paid for what it does in this way, it should have made it3 claim openly. If the desire of tho charter tin.

kerers was to endeavor to keep on "its pins" a rather weak institution, we can understand this very curious amendment, and not otherwise. Tho amendments proposed to the law regu lating the Water Board was defeated early in the session, and defeated despite the most palpable reasons why a change should have been made. Those who are weaaea to tms expensive and un demooratic institution, should stand aside for at least one session of the Legislature and let us see if we cannot effect a change, which we are satisfied is urgently needed by this heavily taxed community. The bill providing for the establishment of minature parks on Brooklyn Heights, introduced by Senator Murphy, was lost among bigger but less beneficial schemes for public imnrovement. Through the exertions of Senator Murphy, the bad scheme to close the streets on the Heights, it was proposed to convert into parks was defeated, and that is something gained.

Several bad bills were defeated. That to divide the 6th Ward by cutting off its water front, mainly for the purpose of giving the Eepublicans a chance to carry the Ward, was about the worst of the bad measures of the session. Upon the whole Brooklyn has lared tolera bly well, and we have less reason to find fault with the Legislature of 1865, than with most of its predecessors, less for what it did than from what it refrained from doing. Another Reported Assassination. The country was shocked this morning by the report, publishod on the authority of the Philadelphia Inquirer, that the sergeant who fired at and killed Booth while resisting the officers sent to arrest him, was assassinated at the Eelay House, between Baltimore and Wash ington.

A despatch to the Philadelphia Teh aravh emphatically contradicts the report. One Philadelphia despatch is as good as another, though both may be of Htte value. We trust that we have had the last of theso fearful crimes. The Topics of the Dar It is now stated that instead of $13,000,000, Jeff. Davis has not over $300,000 in speeie en route.

A Sermon bv Rev. Ell. sha Sands.

At the Warren street M. E. Church, last evening, thepantor. Bev. E.

Sands, in view of the last act of the recent tragedy at Washington, improved the occasion by preaching a sermon on "The ABaassin's Death and Divino Retribution." Tho text was soleotod from Numbers xxxir. xxm. verse "Bo sure your Bin will find you out." In Switzerland, tho preacher said, thero ia a mountain called Mount Pilate. It is a wild, gloomy, inaccea 1 aible mount, with storm scathed rocks and dark, fa thomlCBa gulfs. Amid the storms which sweep its solitudes, the carrion vulture, the most ill omened of birds, I may he seen, fiyrng and screaming.

Thero is a tradition among tho peasantry who dwell at the base of this mountain, that Pontius Pilato, having surrendered our Saviour to his murderorB, and having washed hu hands in unavailing averment that he would have no share in tho iniquity ho so wickedly permitted, here, a heaven I BAU1CU VUgUUUUU, uiubuu Jilt, 1U1UUIUUH 111U.

It continues to haunt the place. A spectral lorm is seen, it is said, often to emergo from the lake, through the act of washiug and wringing its hands, in memory of that hour of darkness and guilt when no "wasuca nis nanus Deioro toe mumcuue, Baying, I am innocent of the blood of this justporsoo; see va to it." Trom whence comes this legend and suuer atitious lalth From the leeling of every human heart, though it may pot do expressed in worus nor mauuestea in action. Our sins will find us out I Tho preacher continued to elaborate this point, bringing several Btartling examples from real lift) to illustrate it.

And evil life has its pay day. "Just lend mo a few dollars" said a soldier to his comrade. "Pay day is coming when I will faithfully return it you know there is no risk. Tho government money is ub suro as tha bank." "I know that, replied his friend," but it is pity to forestall your pay; you would find it bettor to bo careful and keep enough to last, without involving that which Is not yet your own. "un Dutuis as gooaaa my own; it is earned ana must come, you nnow.

Wish every poo leuow pay wub uuio ua ours. tu wort for our pay and you know it is sure." This principle rules the labors ol tho human family the expectation ol a juat return for the expenditure of strongth or skill, time or talent, in tho service of another. And if unhappily, tho expectation fail, if payment bo not forth coming, Irom wnaiever cause, fcuu auiierer compuuus loudly of injustice and carries Ms appoal where his right maybe investigated and bis domauds eventually satisfied. There is. however, a class of operatives who go contrary to this general rule, who do not seem to calculate at ail on pay day, and yet who are earning fast, morning, noon and night.

They aro oxponding a vast amount of capital, which is multiplying in a just return and yet they keep no accounts xnoy aro uuugenciy serving tho cause and doing tho work of another without looking for their reward, and without any idea of arraigning him before a tribunal of justico, should ho fail to pay them their dues. Thoughtless spendthrifts 1 what infatuation has seized them in these busy covetous times, that they alono aro content to labor without anticipation of pay day 1 Whero shall wo find them that we may look on such marvellous exceptions to the great rule in this particular We may find them everywhere; on tho oxchaugo, at tho desk, in tho shop; ot court robed in purple and fine linen; in tho street, clothed in beggars' rags. In one respect thero is no difference; they stand ou tho same level. They are thoso who live in Bin. Fellow sinners, sin has its wuges.

Thoy ro fearful woges. "The wages of sin isdeath." It is iu Btructivo consider now, in tno oraer or wivino provi dence, the measure we meto out to others Is meted out to us. There seemed to bo a divino retribution in this matter among mankind. We, from malice or envy, or jealousy, seek to injure another. For a tirno there is success.

But how often tho calamity wo would bring on another is brought on ourselves. Tho man Who invonteu lue gumoniuu air ruauu uuiuriuty perrau cd by its blade; the gallows that Haman built for Mor decai, he hung from himself.

As he Btood complacently viewing his prize, lol tho prophet of God Btood before him. Methinks Ahab shuddered.

The prophet was Qod's police officer. We don't like to have police officers cull ou us when wo havo committed Borne crime. Elijah looks very stern at Ahab; says to him; "In the place whero the dogB licked tho blood of Nabotb, shall dogs lick thy blood even thino and dogs shall eat Jezebel by the walls of Jozreel." This was laterally fulfilled. Said Ahab to the prophet: "Haatthou lound me, mine enemyi" Biijau answered: "I havo found thee becauso thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight ol tho Lord." When Ahub and Jezebel laid their plans and executed their wickedness, tiey seemed to have forgotten God. Men act so Btill.

Because He sitteth in tho heavens and dou't interfere to prevent their carrying out their plans, they think He is not regarding, but lie is, Botribulion hB a long arm; it reaches down through many years. It is a Bhoriff that cannot be escaped. Men build prosperity on wickedness, it is as building a mansion on the closed crater ot a volcano; it will swallow it up in ruin turning its reward to ashes, ond its wealth to a fire that burns tho soul; and if you give the blood and body of another to tho dogs, dogs shall lick thy blood and eat thy body. God allows man tr, on (iitt so far in wickedness and thsn He reveals liimself and arrested man cries out, "Hast thou found me, miue enemy!" is the ro spose, "because thou hast Bold ttryaolf to work evil in the flight of tho Lord." Doit and yon shall be found out by tho justice of God. What did Christ say to tho Scribes and Pharisees who robbed widow's houses and for a pretence made long prayers 1 "How can ye escapo tho damnation of hell?"
