FRIDAY. APRIL I, 1885. J
A I tilings in life are subject to ebb and '
How.' Public curiosity and public feeling are ll
like every thing else in this respect; and a c
. dead calm is apt to succeed anv unusual i
excitement. We have talked of nothing, i
written of nothing, dreamt of nothing and 11
thought of nothing, for some days past, but J
Lafayette. His expected arrival raised
as all on tiptoe, awakened all our senses,
and quickened every pulse to “ double quick £
time.” His visit kept us so. We have re
€orded the proceedings while lie was here ; )
and now his departure, and th e end of the \
song on his stay among us has left even the
spirits of the Printer’s devils to sink in
to listlcssness. We have nothing to talk j
about at home. The cotton illarket is sta-j,
tionary. No elections are at hand to quick-;!
en our “ gray goose quills”—-for though the <
political year of our city draws to a close,, 1
we do not usually enter the lists in the 1
choice of Members of Council, and there is j
but one candidate for the Mayoralty before
us;J who will, doubtless, unite all suffrages.
The President is made. We cannot spec
ulate about that election any longer. He
has selected his cabinet—and to that,;
perhaps “ the least said the sootntet mend-j
ed.” Mr. Crawford has not reached home;!
Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay were not burnt I
in effigy at Brownsville ; Mr. Clinton will |
not go to St. James—War is not declared)
w ith Spain ; the pirates convicted at Savan
nah are not hanged (proh pudor !) ; Mr.
Powell dues not oppose Gov. Troup, and
in short there is not any thing at home to
rouse our scribbling faculties this week.—-
Foreign news is equally scarce—-and the
winding up of the whole matter is, our read
ers will not find any thing very interesting
in this day’s paper.
Since Darien Bank Notes were thrown
uut of our Banks there has been considerable
fluctuation in their value. Last week they
were at 7 1-2 per cent, discount, and gome
were sold as low as 12 1-2. Now, huwev;
er, they are mending a little. They are al
most current money again ; and some of the
“knowing ones,” think they will goon be
bankable. We shall see.
I-—— II II ,■—«*'
The Washington City Gazette seeing re
solved to be zealous for somebody. As Mr.
Crawford has been unfortunately left in the
minority, his quondam supporter is resolved
to bite the heels of his successful rival---
and now finds that General Jackson lias been
most wofully abused, and Mr. Adams and
Mr. Clay are no better than they should be.
Zeal is a very good thing in its place—-but,
to be useful, must be tempered with calm
ness and candour.
It appears that Mr. Giles has avowed
himself the author of the strictures on Mr.
Monroe, published in the Richmond En
quirer. The Ex-President has replied, in
his own vindication ; but his answer has not
reached us. We hope his explanation may
be satisfactory.
About a twelvemonth since, several de
predations were committed upon the way
mail route between Philadelphia and Balti
more.—Letters from Chester state, that
William Barton, aw apprentice to the then
postmaster, has acknowledged that he com
mitted those depredations, and five hundred
dollars have been recovered from him, which
are put into the hands of VV. Anderson, H.
Myers, and E. Darlington, three respectable
citizens ot Chester to be returned to the
rightful owner. The young man has made
his escape. [Philadelphia paper.
By the South-Carolma from St. Croix we
have information, that the inhabitants ot St.
Thomas were in a continual state ofalarm
the town being daily threatened witli fire.

Plie Nashville Gazette, of the 25th ult.
announced, in all form, General Jackson
as a candidate for the office of President of
the United States, to commence on the 4 h
of March, 182 -9. Ibis is a living leap
over the great chapter of events. Four

The Hon. Mr. Stan! ey, one of the three e
members of the British Parliament who ar- 1
rived in this country last season, sailed from s
New-York for England on the 17th inst. in
one of the Liverpool packets. These gen
tlemen (says the New-York Statesman)
have, we believe, travelled over nearly the S
whole extent of the U. S. & Canada, & have,
at all times, exhibited the temper, feelings,
and modest deportment of gentlemen of
cultivated minds, anxious to acquire accurate h
information of our country, its resources, and d
institutions, and of the manners and customs :
of the people, and they have on all occasions,
received the friendly and polite attentions
of our citizens with a correspondent spirit.

Cotton Goods. —The following table ex
hibits the amount of cotton goods in square
yards, exported from Liverpool within the J
last four years—hy which it appears that the
export to South America has been almost ■
trebled in that period, and in the year 1824, 1
nearly one third of all the cotton goods ex-j-,
I ported from Liverpool, have been to tliatj i
country—this increase of trade will in some ,
measure account for the determination of the ‘
British government to recognize the inde
pendence of South America.

Considerable excitement has lately been
produced in Nantucket, by a Placard stuck
up in several public places, containing a
threat of burning down the town. A reward

for such information as will lead to the con

American Glass. —Our attention was call -,
ed yesterday, says the American, to the
examination of a novel, curious and elegant
specimen of American industry and talent
from the glass making establishment of Mes
srs. Bakewell, Page & Bakewell, of Pitts
burg. It consists of cut glass tumblers, in
the bottom of each of which, by a very in
genious process is embedded an excellent
tiki ness of some distinguished American
citizen, as Adams, Jackson, Lafvyette,
&c. Tae likeness is formed of a composi
tion having the appearance of silver, and al
though presented in bold relief, every part
ofit is enclosed in the solid glass, and ic
consequently indellible.— Ball. Pat.
TRIAL FOR MURDER. '
Charles Bill was lately tried at Mlddle
bury, Vt. for the murder of his father. A
deal of evidence was adduced to prove the
insanity of the murderer, at the time the i
horrid deed was perpetrated. The trial last
ed two days, and the jury after being ab
sent about three hours, returned with a 1
verdict of manslaughter, and the prisoner!
was sentenced to the State Prison during!
life. The trial occupies nine columns of the)
Middlebury paper, and after reading the'
whole of the evidence as reported, we are
surprised to learn that the jury did not find !
the prisoner guilty of murder. VV hen ask- j
ed by one of the witnesses if he did not re
gret the act he had committed, he answered
|“ no, he would not give a shilling, or turn )
over a straw to have it otherwise.” He said,
“ as for going to the State Prison, he did not
care, but as for being hung up for a specta-i
cle for the people io look at, he would make If
his bed in hell first; he would put a knife ’
into his heart.” The deceased was an offi
cer in the war of the revolution and at the <
time of Ids death received a pension from the
U. H.~Alljany Argus.
