■HI THE GEORGIA TELEGRAPH QO^» Tuesday Morning, May 3. The South Countryman. We have the April number of the South Countrymen, published by W. II. Hunt. Mari etta, and conducted by C. W. Howard—32 pa ges, price fl 00 per annum. We cannot more highly recommend this periodica] than by re ferring to the valuable editorial article upon 'The Low Price of Land in the South—its cause and remedy,” which we have extracted from this number and place upon our first page. It is one of the most suggestive papers upon the subject of improving lands we have ever read. Russell for Hlay, Came this morning.

In the multiplicity ofthe engagements for the week, it hw been difficult to fix upon the hint time for the Grand Concert of the Mesira Schreiner. However, it is now definitely ap pointed for TO-NIGHT AT RALSTON’S HALL, Where the Harmonic Society—the Lidcrtat’tls —an Orchestra and a brilliant audience will combine to lend such attraction and enchant ment to the scene as will give it a place in mem ory. Even-body to Ralston's Hall, to-night The Christina Index- We are sorry to see that for personal reasons Rev. Joseph Walker is going to retire from the Index. Its great success under his manage ments proves hit fitness for the position, aid the very best we can hope for the Index is that it may find another as well qualified, in all res pects, to occupy this responsible position.— There is, to he sure, a wide range and ample scope for choice in the Baptist deno uination; hut still, a good editor is a rant avis—a harder thing to find than even men of merely great in tellectual ability. We trust, however, that the committee may select the right man, and this old denominational organ—the oldest religious paper in the South—may go ahead with still ac celerating progress. It prints now weekly a- bout four thousand five hundred copies, and is dally progressing, We think, too. the country may he challenged in vain to produce another subscription list of the credit kind, on which so little is lost Sunday School Festivals. The Annual it ay day Festival of the Sunday Schools in Macon took place last Saturday, and <«as more extensive and brilliant than any ofits predecessors. It was probably the most impo sing pageant ever witnessed in the town, the pupils were uniformly dressed—the Misses in white, and the hoys in blue and white, hut inch School had adopted distinguishing badges and trimmings, besides numerous banners •.‘Very conceivable styles device and ornamental elaboration. The Schools rendezvoused at the Baptist Church, and by the time the rear of the column took up the line of march, the head it must have been near half a mile distant There were upwards of 870 pupils in the procession, besides pastors, superintendents and teachers, comprising in all, seven Sunday Schools: The Methodist, (236 pupils) Meth. Mission, (112) Baptist, Baptist Mission; Episcopal; Preshyte- i-ian, (125), and Vineville (80) Schools. The Teachers, (male and female) numbered about 150. It is probablo that but for the very cool, chilly and damp weather, and the threatening aspect of the clouds, the number of pupils would have exceeded a thousand. Such an array happy, healthy, beautiful children, dressed, all casts neatly, and, in most, very beautifully, was a sight never to be forgotten. The banners were very numerous and remarkably beautiful The Festivities took place at Camp Ogle thorpe, which now, with its cleanly grubbed and level sward—its white-washed fences, build ings and trees, is in beautiful order, and makes a splendid play and parade ground. The ex ercises were held in a beautiful grove, where rostrum and seata bad been arranged, and were in the following order: 1. Prayer by I)r. liard- cnburgh. 2. Address by Master Bcnj. Smith, of the Presbyterian School. 8. Address by Master George Findlay, of the Baptist School 4. Address by Master Aaron Dewberry, of the Baptist Mission SchooL [Thespcaker here was an indigent boy, who, but a few mouths ago, could scarcely read, but on this occasion, exci ted marked admiration, by the grace and pro priety of his delivery. We append his speech at the request of some of the auditory.] 5. Ad dress by Master Hugh M. Colquitt, of the Me thodist SchooL 6. By Master Edwin Harman, Methodist Mission SchooL 7. By Master Rob ert T. Napier, Vineville School 8. By Master E. Henry. Green, of the Protestant Episcopal SchooL 1». Singing by the children. 10. Ben ediction by Rev. S. Landrum, of the Baptist Church. After these exercises followed the presentation of a beautiful watch by the pupils of the Methodist School, to Rev. Geo. G. Smitli, jr., assistant pastor of the Church. The pre sentation speech was appropriately delivered by Master Varner, and responded to very affecting- ly by Mr. Smith. The children and friends of the Schools then gathered each in its appropriate building, where beautiful collations had been spread, cm- bracing almost every delicacy and substantial In the way of food, and after dinner, all fell to play with right good will.

On Tuesday the case of Hugh Walton, Ad ministrator of Joseph Nunez,'vs., Seaborn Biy an, was called, and both .parties having an nounced ready, this legal veteran for the fourth Mars Rages now-a-days, and the sound of drum and trumpet is constant as sunshine. This morn ing it will set in with light and without abate ment till Friday. The Metropolitans, Capt. time waa sent to the Jury. Griffin, and the Bibb County Cavalry, Capt. Fitzgerald, were out yesterday. The Metropol itans are yet without their uniform—the Cav alry made the best and largest display they have yet been guilty of. three days and resulted in a verdict for the Plaintiff for over ten thousand dollars. The case in many of its features was a novel one and excited no little interest among the members of the bar and persona acquainted with the (acts of tiie case. The suit was brought in trover by Hugh Walton, Administrator of Joseph Nunen, a free person of color, against Bryan to recover six negroes which the Plaintiff alleged belonged to his intestate. The case had beefi before the Supreme Court twice and most of the legal questions having been settled, the issue was narrowed down mainly to a single fact—whether Joseph Nunez was a free negro descended in the third degree from a slave, or had one-eighth of negro blood in his veins; The Judge in a very lucid and able charge instruct ed the Juiy that if they shook! find by the evi dence that Nunez was in the third degree de sccndcd from a slave or that he had one eighth* of negro blood in him, then they should find for the Plaintiff Pringle, .John Powers and Kil- len for the Plaintiff.

The case was argued by Hall and Warren for Defendant, and Killen for Plaintiff We understand the case goes up to the Supreme Court Perry is improving in trade and population. The merchants are doing a large and profitable business, and are looking to a Urge increase when the Ft Valley A Brunswick Railroad shall be completed. Tho people of Houston seem determined to carry this work through, and manifest their faith by their works. Three hundred anil sixty- five thousand dollars have been suhscriled, and the list is added to daily. Ft. Valley has taken a fresh start, and in an ticipation of the contemplated Railroad connec tions, real estate is commanding largely increas ed prices. The crops in Houston arc backward, ind the fruit, by the last cold spell, waa very much in jured. Christian Association Convention A Convention of Delegates from Young men’s Christian Associations in Georgia and neighbor ing States met in Macon last Friday and there completed their business during the day. Up to a late hour before going to press we were in expectation of ap official record of proceedings, but it is not come to hand in time. We learn about thirty delegates were present. Dr Hig gins, of Co!umbus,.addressed the Convention in the Presbyterian Church on Sunday Evening. “Smash up ahead!” The Journal and Messenger notes the fact of the withdrawal of Stephens, Orr and other democratic members of Congress as indicative of their belief that a “Smash up" isjust ahead, and they wish to get off the train in time.— Does the same consideration bear upon the mind of “our immediate representative,” Mr. Trippc ? It U a poor rule which will not work both ways. Camels Tor Alabama. Twenty-one camels arrived at Mobile, Wed nesday last, on board the steamer Fashion, from Galveston. They are natives of the Canaries, and intended for'experiment in that section of the country. Eight of them belong to Mr. B. M. Woolsey, of Dallas county, and the remain ing thirteen are offered for sale in the Mobile papers by Messrs. Prout, Fowler A Standard, of that city. It is said tliat one of these camels will readily carry two boles of cotton, at the rate of twenty- five miles a-day, over roads that are next to im passable to wagons. We suggest that a C amel Company be formed in this city for the purpose of transporting cotton from the depots to the presses and shipping.

Tribune, which must b; acknowl edged the leading spokesman for the “RcpublL can” wing of “the conservative opposition, is out again in last Tuesday’s numbtr with over tures for a more perfect union in 1860. Put ting the vote of Fremont and Fillniax? together, it overbalances the democratic Column by 8 989 votes, and “of course,” says the Tribune, nothing but division prevents a triumph. “W hy, then, should we not unite?” “Is there any insuperable obstacle to a substantiti union of the opposition, in 1860!” To show how much hit side of the House is willing to concede, the Tribune proceeds to a confession of faith, which is worthy of some special note us illustrating the opinions and feeling ofthe party which is to poll 1.350.000 of the votes of this "conservative opposition.” lie says “we, for instance, re gard the continuance of human slavery as, at once, a great crime and a great b'-u ider—as the main inciting cause of our country’:! misfortunes and perils.” The first article in the confession obviates all necessity of going further. It em bodies, in the way of inevitable fequence, every dogma of rampant abolitionism in Europe or America; for if the “continuance" of African slavery be a crime and a blunder—the main source of all misfortunes and perils, it becomes a matter of overruling duty to pun in estoppel on it al once. And this is the bass article in the creed of about two thirds of this new “conser vative opposition" party. But with such views of “hiuntu slavery” as these, the Tribune, (generous soul,) is so desi rous of union, as apparently to oiler a waiver of the duty of immediate abolition.’ He does not commit his party—or offer to :ommit it. He speaks alone of his “ideas” ofwlut will be done, and his idea is tliat the Federal Government will never undertake to meddle vrith slavery in any of the States. Perhaps not; but if so, it will be simply because the Feduvil Government is not a blade republican government, and does not maintain with tliat party tlu.t the continu ance of slavery is a great crime und a great blun der. It is vciy dear tliat any government hol ding such views of the “contiruince” of slave ry would be as much bound to suppress, or at tempt to suppress its “continuance,” as that of piracy, murder, or any other “crime.” But, says the Tribune, we have no idea the Federal Government will assail slavery in the States; all we ask that it shall let it alone there—“protec ting the inviolability of the mails,” [opening them to the free dissemination of abolion docu ments,] that “it should cease to be the active champion and propagandist of slavery.” [L e. cease in any and all attempts to maintain for Southern men the right of colonizing common territory,] that it should desist from Cuba an nexation—that it should cease proscribing abo litionists from office, and that it should insist upon the interdiction of slavery in all the Fed eral Territories. On this basis, although pre ferring an original republican, like Sen aril or Chase, the Tribune will go into the support of any one like John Bell Edward Bates or John M. Bolts; and thereupon founds an appeal to the other wing of the “conservative opposition” not to suffer victoiy to “be fooled away by a childish strife about names.” Thus we have the conditions, and we shall watch the progress of negotiations with some interest The trade is already in progress and its consummations depends on the Southern wing of this “conservative opposition.” We mistake the tenor of many of the articles in tho Georgia opposition prints, if they are not de signed to pave the way to a bargain, and we utterly mistake Messrs. Bell, Bates and Bolts or their political adherents if they would have the slightest objection to it It isapieceofsound policy in this coalition to take a presidential can didatc from the South—not that they can enlis c any Southern State in his support: hut they can thus divest their ticket in the North ofthe odor of rank sectionalism, and so conciliate in that quarter a strength which they could not gather for Seward, Chase, or any other abolition can didate. If they can secure to Bell, Bates or Bolts, the Black Republican vote, cither of the three would'probably get also the Know Noth ing and old line whig vote, which could not he carried for Seward, and thus very much increase the chances of success. No man could ask the meaning of such a vie. tory secured. With two thirds ofthe then ad ministration party as phrenzieil a set of abolition jacobins as ever figured in the French Revolu tion—a rank and file whose ideas of all religious and political right and duty lie in emancipation and of all wrong and evil in African Siaveiy— headed by unscrupulous and remorseless politi cal villains like Seward, we suppose no man of sense of any party, would look for less in the shape of mischief than it would happen to be in the power of such a party to accomplish—nor of any other mode of defence Mian the “hardest feud off.’’ Engine Playing.

The Oberlin “Rescuers.” Affairs in Ohio are said to be just nowin a very interesting condition. One of the “Ober lin rescuers,'' as Greeley calls them, having been unexpectedly convicted in the United States District Court, the other parties in custo dy finding their position more hazardous than was anticipated, applied to the Supreme Court for a writ of habeas corpus, and the Court has granted a rule on the United States Marshal to show cause why the writ should not be issued. It will no doubt be issued. Mean while, the Grand Jury of Lorain county liave indicted the two Kentucky witnesses against the rescuers, as kidnappers. To protect these ’witnesses against arrest under this indictment, the Dis trict Judge has committed them to the custody of the United States Marslial, who to maintain possession alike of witnesses and prisoners has sworn in a hundred special deputies. The Tri bune supposes there will be a collision between the Federal and State authorities on both these points. Well, we do not know of a better time, place or occasion for such a conflict Let it come.— The sooner, the better. Let us see whether a constitutional government or an abolition mob is the stronger. By all tneaus let us have the collision. Chemical Iffatiares.

Fashion kills more women than toil and sor row. Obedience to fashion in a greater trans gression of the laws of woman's nature, a greater injury to her physical and mental con stitution, tha'n the hardship:! of poverty and neglect. The slarcwoman at her tasks will live and grow old, and see two or three generations of her mistresses fade and pass away. The washerwoman with scarce a ray of hope to cheer her in her toils, will lire to sec all her fashion able sisters die around tier. The kitchen- maid is hearty and strong, vrbile her lady has to be nursed like a sick baby. It is a sad troth that fashion-pampered women arc almost worth less for all the great ends of human lifo. They have bnt little force of character; they have still less power of moral will, and quite as lit- tie physical energy. They live for no great purpose in life; they accomplish no worthy ends. They are only doll-forms in the bands of milliners and servants, to be dressed and fed to order. They dress nobody, bless nobody, and save nobody.—They write no books and set no examples of virtue and womanly life. Ifthcy rear children, servants and nurses do all, save to conceive and give them birth. And when reared, what are they T What do they amount to, but weaker scions of the stock Who ever heard of a fashionable woman's child exhibiting any virtue or power of mind, for which it became eminent? Lead the biographies of our great and good men and women. Not one of them had a fashionable mother. They nearly all sprang from strong minded women, who had about as little to do with fashion, as with the changing clouds. De Tocqi'EvuxE, the distinguished author of Democracy in America” recently died in France at the age of 54.

In 1837 be took his scat in the National Assembly and 2d June 1848 became Minister of Foreign affairs, but after the coup d'etat withdrew wholly from public life. Market Reports.

This sum and other advantages iutve been lost to the city and citizens hy this operation. The Messrs. Brooks, Baroum and others who were applicants for the charter, were men of unlim ited means, and were amongst those who had been the projectors of, and had been intimately connected with, all the public improvements of the city, and had had large experience in such matters, and had they obtained the privilege, would have gone on at once to complete the work. But the sale of the charter to a foreign Company will produce such opposition to its construction, as will delay it for some time, if not defeat it altogether. The terms of the Messrs. Brooks A Co., were to pay the city a bonus of $100,000 and put the fare at three cents—while the proposition of the other party was to pay a less sum to the city, and charge four cents the passenger. It is a higldy valuable privilege, and will no doubt amply repay the company who have obtained it, if they can retain it It will now however meet with much opposition and an effort will be made to re]>eal the law and annul the contract Our city has to mourn the loss of one of its most estimable citizens, in the death of the Rev. Dr. II. D. V. Johns, Rector of Emanuel (Episco pal) Church. In his death, which occured on Friday morning at 6 o’clock, the Christian Church has lost one of its brightest living em blems, and the cause of religion an able and zeal ous advocate. The deceased, has for many years been closely identified with every move ment which had for its object the spiritual wcl- lare or moral improvement of our fellow men, and to his untiring and able exertions, in a measure, wc are indebted for many of the suc cessful institutions now in operation, for ameli orating the condition of the poor and helpless among us. His long life was a brilliant exatn- of the Christian character, and his death was its crowning glory. Our Spring trade with the country dealers is now about closing. The large wholesale houses and jobbing men have done a handsome busi ness, and are in buoyant spirits at the footing up of their spring sales.

Important Presidential Movement OF THE DEMOCRACY. A Washington dispatch in .the New York Herald of Wednesday, says: For some days past negotiatioas have been going on here between the chiefs of the regu lar democracy and those of the Douglas wing of the party, including Mr. Douglas himself broadly foreshadowing the following 1’residen tial programme:— 1. The reunion of the two- factions upon a compromise on the question of slavery in the Territories, which will leave the exclusive su pervision of the subject to the Supreme Court —the right of the Southern people to settle in the Territories witli their slave projierty re maining as affirmed by the Drcd Scott decision. 2. Two democratic'national conventions in 1860—the work ofthe Charleston Convention to be limited to the reunion of the party upon a new platform. The second convention, in this event, will probably he fixed for September, and in the city of New York. By that time the chiefs of the party will lutvo discovered their most available candidate and the weak points in the enemy’s lines. This arrangement is said to las approved by Senator Douglas. P.

Resolved, That delegates appointed at this meeting to attend the Gubernatorial Conven tion in Milledgeville in June next, vote fov and support Honest Joe Brown, as the nominee of said convention, and as the Democratic can didate for Governor, in preference to all other candidates.

This building is five stories in height, and its high order «f architectural beauty, together with the perfection of its internal arrangements, renders it one of the most ornate as well as complete of all the places of its kind in this or any other city. Court Lawyers, officers, spectators and all, seemed to think themselves at liberty to talk as they pleased, and to give vent to their feelings and impressions. AH got to their feet and in dulged in conversation. Many crowded around the dock to cheer and support Mr. Sickles in this the pregnant moment of his late. Among those who gathered around Mr. Sickles was an esti mable clergyman of this city—the Rev. Dr. Sun derland of the Fourth Presbyterian church— who taking Mr. Sickles by the lucid, said: “Sir, 1 have come to express to you my heartfelt sym pathy, and to say that if the voice of the people of this city could speak at this moment, your acquittal would he instantaneous. In case, how ever, an adverse verdict should he rendered, l>e assured that you have hearts around you, mine not the least warm of them, to sustain you in your atlliction.” Mr. Sickles was much inoved by this incident, and expressed his thanks as well as his emotion would permit him. As the time wore on. tho noise and confusion grew greater, and the Judge, in a good natnrci 1 manner, remarked that, although under the cir cumstances he could not expect the audience to j „ • . , , - keep silence, he hoped there would be a slight t0 charge of mconsfcta regard exhibited for the place where they were, j ^ novv * ,,ln bear As the minutes grew into quarters and half! he has never advocated any j>rin< hours, there was some expression of disapoint- menton the part of many, who thought that the jury should not have retired at all, much less spend any time in consultation. It could not be said, however, that there was any straining anxiety or apprehension exhibited, although Mr. Chilton remarked that if the jury retnaiued in thirty minutes it would be a “hung” or disa greeing jury. But the jury di i remain in, not thirty but seventy minutes, and fortunately did not verify the prediction. The clock struck three, and before the sound had passed away, there was a movement at the door hy which the jury ha'd retired, indicative of their being on the point of re-entering the court. At this moment there stood close to the dock and around the prisoner the following gentle men, his devoted friends all through the trial: James T. Brady, Edwin N.

Although not altogether unexpected, for wc have kept our readers advised of his fluc tuating health, yet the announcement of his death will be painful hews to his friends, as well as to the members of his denomination through out the country. From an interesting and useful work, entitled “The Men of the Time,” we leant that “George Washington Doane, D. D., LL. D., Protestant Episcopal Bishop of the diocese of New Jersey, was bom in Trenton, N. J., in 1799. He. was graduated at Union College, Schenectady, when nineteen years old, and immediately after Com menced the study of theology. I le was ordained Deacon by Bishop Hobart, in 1821, and Priest, by the same prelate, in 1823. He officiated in Trinity church. New York, three years, and, in 1824, was appointed professor of belles-lettres and oratory in Washington College, Connecti cut. He resigned that office in 1828, and soon after was elected rector of Trinity church, in Boston. He was consecrated Bishop of the Dioocss of New Jersey, on the 31st of October, 1832. He founded St Mary's Hall, in 1837, and Burlington College in 1846. Bishop Doane is the author of a volume of poems, entitled ‘Songs hy the Way,’ and of various discourses and sermons, of which a collection was pub lished in London, in 1842, besides numerous and important tracts and contributions, histor ical, practical and dogmatic to the periodicals.” And at noon, on the 27th inst., he died in Burlington, New Jersey, at the age of about sixty years. F'rom the Memphis Appeal Extra, 25th inst. Terrible Disaster. Explosion of the Steauer St. Nicholas ! GREAT LOSS OF' LIKE! Total Destruction of the Boat. From the officers of the Susquehanna, which arrived at this port at 2o’ clock to-day, we learn that the steamer SL Nicholas, Captain McMullon, exploded her boilers at Island GO, while under weigh, Sunday night, at half past ten o'clock, by which accident about forty lives were lost, involving the entire destruction of the boat. 8uch of the passengers as were saved wero brought to this city by the steamer Susque- hannab, including sixteen persons who were shockingly wounded. The sufferers have been removed to the Exchange Buildings, and are under the care of the city ruthorities and the Sons of Malta. The St Nicholas left this port Sunday eve ning, and was bound from St, Louis for New Orleans. f59~It was stated by a leading dentist of Chicago, in a recent address to his brethren, that the amount of gold and leaf used in the United States for the replacing and repair of defective teeth was $3,350,000, a fact which abundantly attests the existence of a high civi lization, and a good deal of tooth-ache in this blcwed land. his efforts in favor of the South be ever recol lected. Resolved, That we send delegates to the Cuthbert Convention in July next, and that our delegates to that convention cast their votes in favor of our present gallant Represen tative, Martin J. Crawford. A motion was made that the Chairman ap point delegates to each of the Conventions al luded to in the resolution; whereupon the Chairman appointed J. J. Lowry, Esq., Dr. C. E. Clark and George W. Jordon, Esq., as del egates to Milledgeville, and S. M. Manning, Esq., R. F. DeLainar and Col. C. M. Bozeman, as delegates to the Cuthbert Convention, and these delegates each has the power to select his own alternate by a resolution passed. J. J. Lowry, Esq., in a few impulsive re marks declared the patriotism of Gor. Brown, Senator Alfred Iverson and the Hon. M. J. Crawford, which were received applaudingly by tho multitude. After which the meeting passed u resolution requesting the Pulaski Times, Federal Union, State Press, Georgia Telegraph, Southwestern News and Columbus Times and Sentinel, to publish the proceedings of this meeting. A resolution was passed that these proceed' ings be published in the Pulaski Times, and the other papers named will please take notice and copy. F. I. B. DROWN, Ch’r. C. E. Clark, Sec’y. Arrival of the Steamship Africa. New York, April 28.—The steamship Africa, wiiich lpft Liverpool on Saturday, the llith inst, arrived here tiwiay. Her commercial news has been anticipated by the Circassian, off Capo Race. It was reported in Liverpool, at the time the Africa left, that the peace Congress would as semble on the 23rd of April at t ’arlsruhe, a city of western Germany, and the capital of the grand Duchy of Baden. The report appears to be confirmed tliat Aus tria refuses to participate in a peace Congress, unless all the powers disarm simultaneously. Tiie London News says it is just as possible that tiie proposed Congress will embitter tiie re lations of the contending parties, as it is that its deliberations will avert war. The Paris correspondent of the Herald says that he has good reasons for believing that Aus tria’s proposals, as to points to be submitted, will bo unacceptable to France. The Paris Patrie says France cannot be expect- •J to diminish her army, or remand to the arsenals a single piece of its cannon. Many French naval officers have been ordered to join their ships forthwith. War materials are accumulating at Marseilles to an alarming extent Five steam frigates liave gone to Algeria for troops. The late interview with Lord Cowucr. and Count Walkwzci, it is believed, resulted in se rious differences of opinion, affecting the amity between France and England. In the smaller German States, warlike prep arations are going forward. Tho Bavarian army is placed on a war footing. It was reported that the Pope would protest against the Congress. It waa rumored that the King of Naples was either dead, or in a dying condition.

Even the President of the Countil and acting Mayor of the city was there to give celar to the occasion. This is perhaps one of the most extraordinary degrada tions to which a city has ever been subjected by those whom she has placed in authority, and must go far to render its contemptible in the eyes of our neighbors. This demonstration was got up by the rowdy companions of the deceas ed in respect to his memory. But it is beyond conception how men occupying respectable so cial positions in society—as well as distinguish ed official stations—could place themselves be fore the world in such an attitude. There is no accounting for the tastes of some men and no calculating the length that mere politicians will go to attain or continue themselves in office. The next election here is looked for with much anxiety. The opposition to the present dominant party in the city and State, confident ly assert that if they can be allowed to vote without fearormolestation,in one quiet election, with the avenues to the polls kept open and free, every Know Nothing office-holder will he swept front front the place which he holds and substituted by a Democrat Whether the re sult shall follow or not is uncertain, but it is to be hoped for the honor ot the city and the sa cred rights of the people, that wc shall never have to witness the scenes which have been en acted heretofore at our elections. It is now plainly proven that it is in the power ofthe au thorities to cope with and subdue rowdy ism,and if we have a repetition of these scenes, there will he no difficulty in attaching the blame to the right source. Many of the ringleaders of the former riots'and outrages at the elections are now out'of the way, and without these lead ers tiie subordinate mass can be easily managed. A large portion of the walls of our new city prison fell on Saturday night, with a tremendous crasli, but fortunately injured no one.
