to mj, en- resnh of the teeaka back of racy in Virginia liars in mm i recant information, we coumgss the belief font upoBM ancient fame of the Democracy of the OM Dominion. If Wise is elected, of which now there seems to be no doubt, Knovr-Nothingism is dead m the South. The numbers of the order in Virginia have been egregiously overstated for the purpose of political effect. An unfortunate letter, misdirected by one of the first class Sala manders who ruled one of the State Lodges, gives the number of regular enrollments to be about43,000. This will not begin to do the en listments come in faster than ever before. There is a great stir at present among the recruits, but unhappily their motions are not exactly after the sort best calculated to give pleasure to the undergroanders. They are met in scores and by hundreds rushing out for sun light and air, swearing anntfiar great oath that the thing \font do, and that “ Sam" is a hard master. The forcible en try into a school of unprotected and unre sisting women and girls by a Know Nothing committee from the Massachusetts Legisla ture has filled the minds of reflecting men with amazement at the real moral savagery of a State vaunting itself to be a model among'commonwealths ancient and modern. Decent people have been utterly shocked— filled with ineffable disgust, that men—white men—grown men—should have suffered suoh disgraces to have blurred the fair name of their ancestry. Timid and provident people in their fore cast see a time coming for American society, if this ism shall rule the day, that will cause the flames of Smithfield “ to pale their inef fectual fires," and turn every sham religion ist into a butcher. It was an unlucky blow that the Boston abolition “ natives ” dealt their Virginia brethren. These back closet inquisitors should have thought of the ap proaching elections in Virginia and then they might have conceded something of decent respect for the sensibilities of ordinary white people, before they committed their party to such an infamy. But it was a kind prov idence, so far as the effect of this Boston outrage will influence the public mind for good. Men in Virginia—men everywhere throughout this broad land, now se<$ plainly enough, that when men arc banded together by religious bigotries that neither justice, mercy or a sense of decency restrain them from the excesses of devils. It is a sad thing, that at this late day, aud in this land, that these old and homely thruths must need be repeated even when we are hopefhl that they are reiterated with killing effect. But we arc thankful that out of such unmitigated horrors as marked and will forever mark the late elec tion war in Cincinnati, and from that late shameless disregard for womanly virtue, and female weakness as now holds tlie name of Massachusetts people up to the scorn of Christendom, we say it is some comfort that the better part of our people will, from these teachings of Know-Nothing magnanimity and Republicanism, learn a timely lesson. For as far as lights now before us teach anything we must choose between Demoo racy and civil war. [From the New York Herald, April 8.] The School Question in Massachusetts - -No Objection on Account or Color.— There appears to be some prospect of pas sage, by the new American party of the Massachusetts Legislature, of a law provid ing for the admission into the common schools of children*of the African race, on a footing of eouality with the descendants of the original Puritans. This may do for Massachusetts, perhaps; but it strikes us that it is a poor expedient of aid and com fort to the new American party in Virginia. If the Know Nothings of the North choose to admit white, black and yellow children upon the common level of equality into their public schools, the Know Nothings of the South must secede from them, or be dis banded. No party in the South can co-ope rate with any party in the North which at tempts to enforce, socially or politically, thiH ultra-abolition doctrine of amalgama tion. Of late we have been puzzled to guess, and should like to know, what are the national principles of this new Ameri can party in Massachusetts? They hold the Legislature with scarcely an opposing voice against them in either house. What is the meaning of this new bill, consulting it in reference to the campaign of 185C?— Is it a sectional or a national movement? measure of peace or agitation? conserva tive or abolition? We should like to know. [From the Buffalo RepubJip.J Mnaikle Bppick. A crowd wn* a poring into a Musicle Hall, And 1 Cohered.

The sub ject- is presented in a novel and forcible light and we commend it to the considera tion of those over confident in the favors of Fortune. Atlanta, 15th March, 1855. My Dear Cousin: In my absence you sent me $4 to buy a lottery ticket Yonr money was invested as requested, the num bers of the 1 tickets I sent you—by looking to these tickets or numbers you will see that in the numbers drawn thatthe number 2 and the number 48 each drew the one- fourth of $4, and after deducting fifteen per cent, from the $2 drawn I received $1,70 which amount is in my hands subject to your order. Your luck was beetterthan I ex pected. A little reflection will show you how near your chance in such a scheme as this ap proaches an impossibility to draw the $12- 000, or any other good prize. For instance if you buy a ticket in this “splendid scheme" (I call it a “deceptive humbug”) expecting to draw the $12,000 prize and you are the only one who purchases aticket and the draw ing takes place it is possible you may draw the $12,000, and if you do the lottery office has this to pay less 15 per cent,, which is $10,200—and to pay that he has only $4 of your money. The chances against your drawing the $20,000 are asfollows, 1st, that it is not certain that the $12,000 prize will be drawn even if every ticket had been sold before the drawing, because, before such prize can be drawn, by chance, one of the tickets must have had on it the numbers 48, 55, 44. Now, if no ticket has this combi nation on it, it is impossible for you to draw the $12,000 prize, even if you had had the whole of the tickets; but if you had had the whole of the tickets they would have cost you over $300,000, and the money you would get would be only $228,228; or to be exact, in the first place you have paid for 43,680 tickets that can’t possibly draw any thing at all, aud in this way you see you have paid out in cash $174,720 for tickets which draw blank certainly. This shows you how uncertain it is for the rich and foolish to draw the highest prize. Who can buy all the tickets ? But suppose he who buys all gets a ticket in this scheme which had on it the combined numbers—48, 55, 44—then he gets all the money there was, (less 15 per cent.,) and this 15 per cent, he loses whether he has luck or not, and the Lottery Office makes, by this “deceptive humbug," $34,234. Here is a case wherein to make sure work. The humbugged man took all the chances and left with the honest lottery agent the only certainty, (less 15 per cent.,) or, in other words, $34,234. But look at your case. You don’t take all the chances, but only one out of 32,396. Now if your ticket lms the combined numbers, 48, 55, 44, you got the $12,000. Now be fore you look at tlie chances for this, allow, first, it may be possible that there is pp such combination on any ticket as 48, 55, 44; but suppose there was, then there being 32,396 tickets, admitting that other persons are as easily humbugged as yourself, and that (which is no doubt the fact) others are more lucky than you arc; aud the facts show that there are 32,395 persons for you to con tend with, so that the chances are 32,395 against one. It is not worth while to fur ther vex you to look into this glass d&rkly or to attempt- to make it any more ridicu lous. You can, if you will, see from this little showing that a lottery is more uncer tain than a lawsuit between two persons where each are able to pay a lawyer, but where neither’s right to recover is “ clear and unquestionable." In such a case there is hut one thing certain—the less 15 per cent., or, in other words, that each have to pay their lawyer's fees. Therefore, no man of good judgment and some little experience in a lottery or a lawsuit ever engages a second time in either if he can help it.— Now don't show this letter, my dear cousin, for, while I don’t care about the lottery men getting their less 15 per cent., (being a law yer,) 1 don’t desire that men should totally quit going to law, but if they do I bad rath er be the seller than the buyer of lottery tickets to make a living. Excuse me, my dear cousin, for reading you this lecture.— You wouldn’t mind it if you had drawn the $12,000—but then you haven’t. Now, luck is all, and if money is all we go for, if we are lucky and will labor for it, and not take any chances to lose it, but strive to accumulate it and take care of it, we will be sure to get as rich as we ought to be : but if we arc not lucky and unable to work, the lotteries will help us to feed and educate our children less than prayers—if we wor ship mamon, our future hope is vain and our children may beg their broad—but if we worebjp God and are righteous, the Scrip ture assures us our children will never beg their bread. Your affectionate cousin, The Prospect of Peace In Europe- The Berlin correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce writing under date 20th March, makes the following ex traordinary statement as to public opinion in the capital, in reference to the prospect of peace in Europe. The opinion gains ground in Germany, that thp Emperor Napoleon is the great ob stacle to peace, quil trjat tlip achievement of glory from the present war, like that which his Uncle once gained for the arms of France, is the only safety of his throne. It is believed that Austria is now under the special influence of France, and that the sovereigns of hotli countries are eager for continued wav. Men who are well inform ed have already begun to speculate upon tlie probabilities of an alliance between England, Prussia and Ru^siq,, against Aus tria and France, and improbable as this at first thought may seem, it is not so unlikely to be a result of the stupendous movements which are now in progress. No one can fortell the end of this great conflict.

We have examined, also, the books'of the Re ceiver of Tax Returns, and of the Tax Collector, ol last year. And wc arc sorry to have to say, that there are some inadvertent inaccuracies in tba. former of these books, which we presume originat ed from a want of correct information. We therefore recommend that tbe Treasurer of the county be authorized to refund so mueh of these illegal taxes to the payers thereof; as shall appear to him, by the affidavit of the payer and the certif icate ot the Tax Collector, to have been illegally paid. The books of the Tax Collector we find regular ly and properly kept, nnd the long and faithfhl services of this officer of the public trust strongly recommend him to the confidence and support of his fellow-citizens of the county. Not havinghadtime to examine the standing of the county, in regard to indebtedness, Ac., Ac., the present week, and taking it for granted that our predecessors were correct in these matters, we concur with their recommendations of 10 per cent, for pauper, 75 per cent, for county, 25 per cent, for services of petit jurors, and 25 per cent, for poor school purposes; this being as small an amount as, we think, possible to accomplish the great object of affording the facilities of education to the poor and indigent children of oar county. In regard to public buildings, we also concur with onr predecessors of last week, except as to the time for completing the Jail, which, we find, is the 24th of December, instead of the 24th of Sep tember, next. And we also concur with them in tendering our grateful acknowledgements to the City Council for their generosity in furnishing the county with the use of the City Hall. Having been so pressed with business during the entire week, we have been compelled to pass over several important matters of public interest apper taining to the connty, and hence we cannot notice them in these presentments. And we have been so harried in drawing up these presentments that they are not as complete and satisfactory as we could have wished them to he. Id view of the great and accumulating evils of Intemperance and the demoralizing and ruinous consequences of the retail system, upon the com munity in general, and especially those portions immediately adjacent to grog-shops, those sinks of almost all vice and moral wrong; we feel that we cannot recommend too strongly the adop tion of tho most efficient and stringent measures, by all our citizens and public functionaries, and especially our next Legislature, to rid the State and country entirely of this all-withering and blighting curse, which, like the Deadly Upas, is carrying physical and moral death, wherever it is suffered to exist, to all the vitals of good order and well regulated society. As the only efficient means, in our opinion, for the support of the grog-shop system lies in the li censing of men to sell the fatal poison, we would, therefore, recommend the next Legislature of our State to repeal tbe license laws entirely. This measure, we ore confident, would remove the evil; hut we question, capitally, whether any thing short ef it would do it. We have not time, nor do wc feel disposed, now, to enter into the argument which loudly call for such measures. The fact of the constant ruin of our fellow-citizens, and the liability, under the present laws as they exist, of the ruin of our chil dren nnd servants is sufficient, were there nothing else to offer. The facts which have come to the knowledge of this Grand Jury, are sufficient to convict any un prejudiced jnind, of the necessity of an immediate stop’s being put to the license system. We ques tion whether there has been any criminal case of much note before our body, which has not owed its origin, directly or indirectly, to the use of liq uor as a beverage—K>r to the support of tho license system. We therefore recommend that this system be so removed as to prevent the continuance of such evils as do, aud have always existed under it. If the Legislature possess the power to grant license under any penalty, or for any price, more or less, without a violation of the Constitution of the United States, or of the State of Georgia; then they certainly possess the opposite power, the power not to grant license: and of course to pro hibit the practice entirely. We hope to live to see the time when the jnstly great Empire State of tho South shall stand in the foremost rank of all her sister States upon this .great &Dd paramount question. We respectfully recommend our Legislature to return to annual sessions, and to shorten the time for the continuance in session to correspond there with. And now, in conclusion, in taking leave of his Honor Judge Bull, we would most respectfully tender him oar grateful acknowledgments, for his attention and politeness to our body, and the able and dignified manner in which he has conduoted the business of the present week. Wc also tender our most sincere thanks to the Solicitor General, L. E. Blakeley, for his kindness aud courtesy towards our body, and the great abil ity and untiring exertions, he has displayed in ferreting out and putting down every species of erime, and the violations of the laws of the State. All of which we respectfully submit. We request that these Presentments be publish ed in all the city papers of Atlanta. William Markham, Foreman. LATER Joseph Willis, James (i. Kelly, William C.

The America has arrived at her wharf at this port, and from our files of English pa pers we glean the following items of intelli gence : Should the Vienna Conference be ulti mately broken off, the importance qttach^d to the operations in' the Grijhea ^pd their result would become 'the rpal entpripnof success or defeat. There is, however, one further chance of negotiations being renew ed, which, though a taint one, is not alto gether impossible, viz: that the answer from St. Petersburg may be in favor of some counter project which may lead to furter dis cussion. It is not, however, expected that any proposal at this time by the Russian Govppipfpt can be regarded as practicable or sincere, ‘jflie Jjonaon Daily News says according to the most recent communications from Vienna, Lord John Russell sees so little prospect of peace that he expected to return to England by the 14th inst.

He will stay in Paris two days and then go to Vienna, bearing the irrevocable deter mination of the Allies upon the third point. He was closeted with the leading English Ministers three hoars on Friday. Subse quently he had a lengthened audience with the Queen. There is no favorable indications from St. Petersburg.

Columbia, April 4. It is not true that the Peace Congress at Vienna has proceeded with the fourth point, everything hinges on the third point. The Western powers did not demand the demolition of Seyastopool, but the reduction of Russian power in the Black Sea, offering in return to evacuate the Russian territory. The Russian plenipotentiaries had no pow er to act on this, and remitted the matter to St. Petersburg, and there it rests. The condition of the allies at Sebastopol is improving. A formidable Russian force has assembled at Eupatoria, which virtually besieges the place. Raglan’s latest despatch announces a steady fire without any change in the as pect of affairs. The Russians are actively strengthening the place and have nightly encounters with the allied troops. Nine ships, the advance of" the British squadron, had sailed from Deal to the Bal tic. Forged bills of lading have appeared in the Liverpool market to the extent of $14,- 000 sterling, all shipped for Charleston by James C. Nichols. The fraud was accom plished bv inserting the word hundred after units in the body of the bills. It is officially announced that Napoleon and Eugenia will pay a visit to Victoria about the middle of April. The Vienna papers state that Spain and Portugal had joined the Western powers.— Bat this wants confirmation. From China. Advices from Hong Kong to the 16th February, state that insurgents were besie ging Canton and the Tiger Fork. The sur rounding villages had been plundered. Steel and Iron.. The difference between common iron and steel is in the carbon in tbe latter, bnt if iron be heated to a white heat and plunged in cold water, it becomes very hard. Mechan ics take advantage of this in making axles and collars for wheel work, for it is easily filed and turned in a soft state, and after wards hardened; this is most commonly practiced in the machine shop. Molders who make wheels, are often embarrassed by this chemical property in iron. For as the metal is poured into the mold of moist sand, the evaporation of the water carries off the heat and cools tbe iron so quick as to make it extremely hard. This is common in such portions of the metal as have to run the greatest distance from the aperture of recep tion. The only remedy for this, is to have the sand as dry as possible, and as many apertures as are convenient. The harder the steel the coarser the grain, —fine steel has the closest grain. A neat curved line and gray texture denote good steel; threads, cracks, bright specks denote ted. The management of the forging may indeed modify these indications, and steel good for some purposes, may be bad for oth ers. Very small articles heated in acandle, are found to be perfectly hardened by whirl ing them in the cold air; and thin plates of steel, such as the needle of a compass, are hardened by being ignited and laid upon a plate of cold lead and quickly covered with another. “Case hardening" is that property ofiron by whioh it becomes very hard on its sur face. Articles of iron may be oase hardened by smearing their surface with a past of the prussiate of potash, then heating them to a red heat, and dipping in cold water. In making tools, the artist is directed by the colors of the steel while heating. The different colors direct, in tempering, to a standard. When steel is too hard, it willnot do for tools intended to have a very fine p4ge, bocaqsg if will soon become notched, ana if too soft, it will too easily bend. Pur ple Is the color for gravers, or tools used to work in the metals ; when the color appears in heating, it is immediately plunged in cold water; a very hard temper will he made, if the steel is taken at a yellow color and dip ped. Bine is the color for springs and in struments for catting soft substances, such as leather, &c. a The Misuehiuetts Inquisition.

Some papers have given currency to the idea that, under the new postage law, it is necessary to pre-pay letters addressed to the heads of Departments, other officials at Washington, and to members of Con gress. This is not the fact, for the new law makes no change as to the franking privi lege, and letters can therefore still be for warded free of postage, as heretofore. New Use for Chloroform.—At the Pat ent Office at Washington, chloroform has been tried to kill weevel in wheat. In two or three minutes, after a few drops of chlo roform had been administered, the insects naturally enough began to exhibit unmis takable symptoms of uneasiness which proved to be the precursors of a quiet, re spectable death. TOpCO 1 , v . _ly grat ifying, as well as surprising, in the singu larly meagre vote in the various districts for the enemies of the South. From the appeals, so earnest and general, in the New England Freesoil papers, and the frequent mention of organized tends starting from almost every part of New England, added to the determined spirit and profuse expenditure of money by the oppo nents of the Nebraaka-Kansas bill, we real ly apprehended a very different result in the election for the Territorial Legislature. The designs of the Northern Conspirators were duly interpreted and anticipated by the stern men of Missouri—and to them is the South indebted for the rescue of Kan sas from the clutches of the Abolitionists. The New York Tribune, Springfield (Mass.) Eepulific, et id omni generis, are profuse of comments upon the illegal voting by which their hirelings were defeated. Their antic ipation about Gov. Reeder’s vetoing what they characterize the high-handed outrage of the pro-slavery men, are doomed to dis appointment. The election will stand, or fearful consequences will ensue to the Gov ernor and the anti-slavery men. Even if there was illegal voting on the part of the Missourians, we feel that it can be justified, under the circumstances. It was a contest between the hirelings of the infamous New England Aid Society, sent out not to bettor their condition, or with real intention to settle permanently in the Territory, hut as mere instruments to keep the south end open as a new city of refuge for the slaves of the adjoining States—a contest between them and the slaveholders of Missouri, who would have their slave property rendered tenfold in more peril by the proximity of a free State in Kansas.

The Herald enters npon a gloo my calculation of the ruin it will produce in throw ing thousands out of employment, shotting up ho tels and devastating society generally; while the Mirror comes out flat-footed in opposition, and in its issue of last evening calls especial attention to the letter of a “Knickerbocker,” who strains him self into a column to show that the law may not, cannot, must not, be enforced, because the Legis lature making it went ont on sprees themselves, and are addicted to corrupt habits generally. Will it be enforced in New York ? is the question. I think so, most certainly, if Mayor Wood fills his present station with the energy and disoretion he has hitherto done. The only reasons against it will be the decision of Judges inimical to it which have done more in other. States than all other causes to render similar laws a nullity.

James Hamilton, of South Carolina, in which he expresses his firm belief that the Legisla ture of Texas will not assent to the recent ng all ins time to try and carry the ensuing election for the abolition ists. He is (we have no doubt) delaying the election as long as he dare for the pur pose of getting as many of his negro thiev ing friends from Thayer and Co., as be can act of Congress for the settlement of her I P rior to the election, and to drill his secret public debt. Cities should “ Mend their Ways.”— A verdict of $3,000 was obtained against the city of Chicago, 111., last week, from damages sustained from a badly constructed sidewalk.

We hope none of the “bloody villains” will come this way; “our folks” are not used to the smell of gunpowder and the gleaming of knives; it makes us feel like fainting to talk about it; we really think the Government ought to he called on to protect us from these One Month Later from Utah.

The Mormons ordered out the Legion, threaten ing to destroy the whole battalion of United States troops in the city under Col. Steptoe. The three companies of United States troops were quickly paraded under arms—they strengthened their position, aud waited for the assault of the “Legion,” which was every moment expected. This state of quasi warfare lasted for three days, when calmer counsels prevailed and hostilities ceased.— As the affair grew out of a drunken fit, an order was issued by the civil authorities forbidding the further sale of ardent spirits in the oity. The Territorial Legislatuae of Utah, at their late session, passed an act called the “ Gift Law,” by which the faithful are to vest all their real and personal estate of ev ery kind in Brigham Young ! It remains to be seen whether Congress will tolerate such outrageous legislation in one of the National Territories. On the 1st January the wall of the city of Manti was completed to the height of 8 feet, and is 3 feet thick at the bottom, and will form quite a barrier to Indian depreda tions. It surrounds an area of 100 rods square, the Temjple Block being in the cen tre, and in addition to the dwellings, &c„ encloses the grist and savf mills. Large Stalls ttf Cotton. A correspondent of the Columbia Times, writing from Mulberry Grove, Fla., says: A few years ago I saw a cotton stalk that covered an area of ground above twenty feet in diameter. It matured upwards of twelve hundred bolls, from which were gathered 6J pounds of seed cotton, worth then 10 cento per pound. So this single stalk yielded 62{ worth of cotton. In ad dition to this, the old gentleman op whose place it grpw, declared that one cow had wintered on it. But this I am somewhat inclined to consider a jest, and I don’t wish to state anything as a fact that I do not know to be true. The Floridians also have the biggest weed in ail creation. There is a weed, properly known there and in Carolina as the careless weed, that attains in some lo^litiss a height ef thirty feet, and a size of eighteen inches in diameter. On Lake Griffin they grow forty feet high. Trees also grow to a tolerable size. A tree was cut on the Silver Spring River, in this oounty, a few years ago, and made in to a boat, that measured eighteen and a half feet across the stump. There are oth ers still larger to be seen at the same place. I have seen cherry trees in the hammocks six feet in diameter. There stands in my field a live oak stump, twelve feet high, in to which a hollow has been burned of suffi cient horse-thieves about the time of our election and it might be necssary to hang some of them by way of example, and to prevent the shedding of blood, as Cromwell once said, when he ordered a company to be shot. We are order-loving and law-abiding men, but, until we make laws, we are higher law men. We go in for hanging thieves of all kinds, as high as Haman, as a gentle hint to evil disposed men to deter them from .the commission of crime,” The following forms part of a handbill manifesto, published at Boonville, Mis souri : “But the contest is not yet ended. De feated in Congress—outvoted in both branches of our Federal Legislature, repu diated by the Executive, this desperate mo tion of political fanatics have retired to their strongholds, and, under the sanction of leg- istative enchantments, have organized cor porate associations, with enormous monied capital, to accomplish the purposes which an overwhelming majority of the Repre sentatives of the nation had determened should not he accomplished. They have perverted the natural currentof emigration, and for the first time in the history of the country, from the day that Daniel Boon took his rifle and axe. into the backwoods of Kentucky, have attempted to convert the fair prairies op the borders of Missouri into a seconil Botany Bay—a reeaptaole for the sweepings of Eastern oities, and tbe active tools of Eastern negro stealers.” The manifesto closes as follows.” “Gov-Reeder may be assured that the Legislative Assemblies of Kansas cannot be packed with the emissaries of Abolition Societies in Boston and New York, A Chicago in Kansas would net lopg- escape the doom which justice and the.Constitution have already pronounced unpop its proto type in Illinois., tye trqst, for the sake of police and harmony: and for the sake of the Union which fanaticism has so long threa tened,"that the President of the U.

We do not mean to be surprised in- to the indiscretion or the inconsistency either of calling names in this notice of our respected cotemporary’s article. All the gentlemen who are spoken of, or spoken f,y,- or who are doing their own speaking, ar ^ “all honorable men”—good men, and true and this is all that nan be got out of u s e d;! tonally till after the Convention. When the nomination is made, we have no fears but what we will then say of the lucky “ choice of the party" enough to delight and surprise his proud relatives and friends.— But, in the mean time, let us, who in these matters are simply representative men and who have, we insist upon it, a right to speak only vicariously, take care lest in advance we do what we cannot undo. IVe respect fully submit to the Advocate, if such articles as its last upon the subject of a nomination for the 4th District is not highly invidious and well calculated to bring into disparage ment the choice of the approaching conven tion, unless, indeed, that choice should fall upon a certain individual. Of this we feel! sure, and in reference to this very article we heard a conspicuous member of the par ty remak, that the Advocate was clearly against a convention. We do not think so, however, and will do our confrere the justice to ray that we believe he is decidedly in fa vor of a nomination by convention—provid ed his Javorite shall be the choice of the con vention. This looks very conclusive. In commenting upon the equivocal character of tlie delegates to conventions, or rather- the doubtful mode of their selection the. Advocate says: “ In tho case before us, we assicme, with out fear of contradiction, that if .Jud^e Warner will accept, he is the first choice for Congress of a large majority of the Demo crats of the District. In a convention truly and fairly representing their will, he would! be the nominee on the first ballot; but hts will not, we are satisfied, manoeuvre in any form or manner for a nomination. What, shadow of a chance wonld he haves then, before a convention, a majority of whose delegates were under direct or implied pledges to vote for another man? His friends would not, in such a oase, permit h}* name to go before them. If they should, they would be doing him great injustice.” This is indeed a pregnant pai-agraph. It assumes very much and in its comprehen siveness takes a world of important things for granted. For instance, the first choice for Congress—large majority—a convention truly and fairly representing their will- nominee on first ballot—will not manoeuvre —what shadow of chance then !—and so on throughout, and we venture to say that this little extract means as much and hints as much as men usually find in the same sur face of printer’s ink anywhere. So far as our objection to editorial interference for particular candidates is concerned, we are sure that our ground is tenable. We Vould not be so silly as to insist that personally our friend of the Advocate should smother all solicitude when the fortunes of a friend were in issue merely because he happened to be an editor. Not at all. Let our co temporary put into vigorous play the last of his generous efforts for the behoof of his friend only so the factitious advantage of newspaper influence is not to kick the beam in favor of his selections. This is what wc olfleot to as injudicious, and, we hope it is no offence to say, unfair. If the influence of the paper is not something distinct from the mere personality of the editor, why then be so careful to lay the press under contri bution ? We regret the necessity which we felt was laid upon ns of having to revert to this sulgeot. But the discussion of the su perior claims of a partiouiar individual to Congressional honors in the party papers of the 4th District, by way of forestalling the action of the convention, we felt sure was doing harm. It has already done harm and will result in unmixed evil. It may sound demagogueical to say it, and yet we will say it, that if any one man in the District is so decidedly the ohoice of a majority at the party and so justly the favorite, as ihe- Advocate asserts with such dauntless confi dence, why, then, we say, that in, oar opin ion the people will have their way and the convention will he forced to declare the choice of the majority the choice of the party. Who will take us up on this for any innocent amount? Will the Advocate?— Our opinion is that delegates should meet ill the counties, and that every captain’s district should be represented for the pur pose of selecting the representation to the district convention. If a county has its choice, let it say so, and instruct its delega tion. to,go for that man the first ballot or any number of'ballots. Let the party maintain, w&h, inflexible persistence, that all who gc, info convention are bound by its action,and. all who. do not go in are outsiders, and in, the most emphatic raanher let us insist that all independent candidates and all defeated candidates standing mute and in the sulks are no better than malcontents, who are cumberers of the ground- Thia is our position, and we expect to maintain ft until onr ideas of the use and %buw of party organization are radically changed. But if it is the will of the De- rnooraoy of the 4th District to make a scrub race of it, and to invite all sorts of entries, and any number of them, we submit; Much feeling also prevails at the late attempt to smuggle through the Assembly an amendment to an act relative to city railroads, by which authority would be confexred to build one in Broadway.— The manner in which many members gave the bill their support is exciting wonder, and charges that gold from the lobbies created sadden opinions are freely made against some of the worthiest mem bers from the city. Broadway is the finest street on this continent, and the popular feeling is deci dedly against ploughing it up with railways. I do not think any monied elique who should suc ceed in paying the way of such a bill through the Legislature could even lay rails in Broadway.— We should have Erie riots on a large scale. « Sam” is overhauling our Police and squinting his eyes up each geneological tree of the whole posse. The Chief of the Police, Geo. W. Matsell, having returned himself to the Board of Aider- men as a native, blledging that he had no family record, but that his mother had informed him he was born in America, some affidavits were taken which impeach his veracity. The testimony is built up somewhat on the style of Jack’s house.— Geo. W. Matsell returned himself an American; Elizabeth Kerwan knew Geo. W. Matsell who re turned himself an American; Ann Cudliff knew Elizabeth Kerwan who knew Geo. W. Matsell who returned himself an American; Stephen Branch knew Ann Cudliff who knew Elizabeth Kerwan who knew Geo. W. Matsell who returned himself an American; and as the aforesaid Elizabeth Ker wan, whose veracity is so indefinitely backed, knew he was not an American, or, at least, did not know be was, poor Matsell will have to go under as an outside barbarian. What a mischance it is to see the first daylight anywhere out of. Uncle Sam’s domains. The extension of the Battery goes on slowly and when completed will give ns a fine breathing place, a thing to be especially coveted now that Mayor Wood has vetoed the Bill for the big Park up town. The idea of appropriating several hun dred acres"to tho free use of the toiling poor is too liberal and noble for this dollar and centage, and of course the money king shows poverty to the wall in the struggle for more room, and dooms it to narrow streets and Parks whioh are miserably disproportionate to expanding greatness of the city. We supposed the Poole mania was over, hut last Sunday witnessed his apotheoris and saw him mounted on the topmost pinnacle of virtuous re nown. A Rev. Mr. Hood opened exercises with prayer before a congregation of some two hun dred persons at the Apollo Roome and Capt J. M. Turner delivered an oration npon the life and char acter of the defunct, concluding with these words; “ Poole died as he had lived, faithful to his God, his country and his friends!’’ If the minutes of this meeting should be exhumed a thousand years hence by some delving anti-quary, what better testimonial oould some new light chureh in search of a saint for new calendar desire ? The sudden death of Walter R. Jones, has thrown a gloom over our commercial circles. He was one of the oldest and most respected of our business men, and his simplicity of manners and integrity of character had endeared him to the whole city. Funeral services were performed yes terday at Trinity Church, and hia remains leave this morning for interment at Cold Spring. The flags upon the Morckants Exchange, Custom House and of the slapping in the Harbor were at half-mast during yesterday, and minute guns were fired from a ship of war in respect to his memory.
