New York, Saturday, May 24, 1945. Pictorial Weekly Herald, The Weekly Herald will be ready at 8 o’clock this morning, at six cents per copy. It will contain, among other interesting matter, copious extracts from Capt. Wilkes’ Narrative of the Exploring Expedition, illustrated by nearly a dozen choice engravings. The papers may he obtained, in or out of wrap- pers, at the desk, Appointment of New Police Inspector—Jus- tiee Taylor. The Common Council met last evening, when a communication was received from the Mayor, nominating and appointing Justice Taylor Inspec- tor of the new Police, which, after some brief debate, was concurred in by the Board of Aldermen. The Board of Assistants having adjourned, no ac- tion was had on the subject. It appears that consi- derable excitement prevailed amongst the great body of the Demoeratie party, who were in attendance on the oceasion, and considerable indignant disappro- bation was loudly expressed by several of those who were in attendance, on what they called “‘a whig ap- pointment,” and “ the frst act of the Mayor.” We cordially approve of such a step on the part of the Mayor, as it strikesa bold and independent blow at the ultraism of party,which hitherto, in the selection of partizans and favorites for office in this city, has kept out of view altogether their qualifications: Hitherto this system has operated injuriously to the public interests, and we have, in a great measure, to attribute much of the abuses that exist in the public departmente to the mere partizan appointments: by those in power. Justice Taylor’s high capabilities to discharge the-arduous and responsible duties that must devolve on the head of the Police Department, are unquestionable. He possesses, from experience, a thorough knowledge of these duties, and is inti- mately acquainted with the entire machinery neces- sary to make a'Police force effective and servicea- ble. We therefore look upon this selection by the the Mayor—his first act, too—as indicative of a dis- position to upturn the old and shameful system of partizanship that has so long disgraced the demo- cratic party. It speaks loudly for Mayor Havemeyer, and no matter how the ultras among the party may clamor about the appointment, the highminded and upright members of the entire body, as well as the great bulk ot the community, will sustain the Mayor in this independent course. We shall support him, in this appointment, through thick and thin. Mr. Van Buren anp THE Starr Conventioy.— Mr. Van Buren has written a long letter on the sub- ject of the State Convention, from which we have been enabled to gather that although opposed to the project before the passage of the bill, he is now inits favor, which is avery natural and characteristic change of opinion. He recommends the two sec- tions of the democratic party to unite, otherwise they may expect the whigs to make such ‘‘amendments’> *- the Constitution as will give them supremacy nercafter. : This whole movement, indeed, no doubt origina- ted with the office-seeking politicians of both parties, the one sét seeking te strengthen their power, the otherto get power. What effect may be produced on the Constitution of the State no one can tell: We hear the most ultra and extraordinary projects an- nounced—such as the election of all judges—the ‘ex- tension.of the elective franchise to all colors and de_ scriptions of men—the removal of the restrictions preventing clergymen from voting and holding office in the State—and all sorts of “improvements.”— There will be a number of minor contests between the factions, but the great fight will be on the amend- ments to the Constitution which may secure to the successful party the ascendancy in the State. We rather think the whigs have the best prospects just now. Mr. Van Buren assigns as the chief reason which had led him to desire the postponement of the Con- vention, the fact of “the disturbed condition of the public mind, upon points not heretofore involved in political issues.” The venerable philosopher speaks the truth in this instance. It is very true that a number of new issues have been introduced into political controversies. Thus we have anti-rentism —abolitionism—nativism —Fourrierism—socialism abolition of capital punishments—with an interesting variety of new notions, each with its batch of saga- cious patriots, who will have a hand at patching and cobbling the constitution of the State. The anti- renters consider a recognition of the legality of leas- es and title deeds as altogether unworthy of the in- telligence of the age; and in that particular the con- stitution must of course be “amended.” Then the philanthropists regard our criminal code as barba- rous in the extreme—that also must be “amended.” In the eyes of some of the social reformers, the mar- riage contract is very absurd and ridiculous—that also must be “amended.” May not the “ Irish” and the “Dutch” also come in for ashare of the benefits of this movement? May not some new combination of “natives,” whigs and abolitionists be formed, for the purpose of “amending” the naturalization laws? Some of the Irish battalions of the democracy are already getting a little fidgety on this very point. But it is fhdeed hard to tell what this Convention is destined to bringforth. This is a day of change and confusion, and the din and tumult reach the ears even of the “sage of Lindenwold,” when, like Isaac of old, he walks forth in the pleasant even- tide, to meditate on the past and form calculations of the future. The ancient enemy—father of lies and progenitor of mischief—appears to be busy with the sons of men, and we are prepared for almost any thing, except to find honesty amongst politicians or common sense amongst philosophers. Let wise men look quietly on, and keep cool. They will be needed by and by. Trish Emicrart Socrery.—The President of this Society has waited upon us and given some expla- nation of the facts on which we felt justified the other day in basing some remarks deprecatory of the intro- duction of political feeling into this benevolent asso- ciation, We are informed that the officers of the Society entirely disapproved of the conduct of the individual, whose violent and unchecked declama- tion about Repeal and other kindred topics at the last meeting of the Society, warranted the conclu- sion that the institution was not exactly on the high road to duty and usefulness. Every precaution has been used, it is said, to prevent sectarianism in re- ligion or polities from exercising its blighting influ- ence on the Society, and Protestants and Catholics, it is added, are cordially united in its support. ‘This is all very well and very gratifying, but why did the President and other officers commit such a sad blun- der as to permit the disgraceful scene to which we have just alluded at their last annual meeting? Why was not the repeal orator at once rebuked and put down ? This “Irish Emigrant Society” has been in exis- tence for four years. The attempt to organize such an association was made three times without suc- cess before it was established—the failure having been uniformly occasioned by that very sectarianism against which we have so pointedly warned the So- ciety. The Society, considering its limited means, has done considerable service in the cause of the poor immigrant. One of ite most meritorious efforts has been that for the possession of a dock exclusively for the use of immigrants. It is now engaged in an effort to correct the gross abuses and trauds of the present system of “runners” for boarding-houses, by obtaining the passage of a Corporation ordinance requiring all such *‘ranners” to be licensed, and giving the various foreign benevolent societies and the police authorities a voice in the granting of the licenses. We trust this may very speedily be af fected. Brmtorric or Pewneyrvanta~It will be seen from the letter of our Philadelphia correspondent, that Dr. Alonzo Potter has been elected Bishop of Pennsylvania. The excitement in Philadelphia, at this result, 1s represented as quite unparalleled. wRG Ngw fre ‘very sorry to an- nounce the defeat of our candidate for the Episcopate of Pennsylvania, Dr. Tyng, whom we have supported for that high office ever since he denounced the morality of the Herald, thus acting on the principle of returning good for evil, in obedience to the sublime ecripture precept.— This defeat we frankly confess, goes deeply to our heart. Our soul is very much cast down and dis- quieted thereby, because it affords the melancholy and crushing evidence of an entire prostration of the influence of the Herald in church affairs, and_parti- cularly in the affairs of the Episcopal church, when we fondly hoped we had paramount sway. We perceive that this defeat of Dr. Tyng, and overthrow of the influence of the New York Herald, in church matters, have been brought about by the Puseyite section of the church—that’portion of the Episcopal church which has a secret and awful lean- ing to the errors of the Church of Rome, and the po- licy of the exploded Jesuits. Alas! alas! we fear that that diocese will now entirely be’ lost to that system of pure Christianity which the low church- men advocate, and the holy Tyng illustrates, and that it will be given over first tothe Puseyites, then to Rome, and thirdly and lastly, in due process of time, to the devil. But what else could we expect in. a State that repudiates its henest debts, and burns the temples of the Almighty for any reason, or for no reason at all? ‘Neither Doctor Tyng, nor the New York Herald, with all their purity of character, their great talents and wonderful genius, could be expected to have any in- fluence or power in such ,a diocese. We therefore abandon the field entirely, and particularly request Satan, as the hero of some of Scott’s novels says when he was defeated—“ Go, and make a kirk ore mill of it, justas ye please !” We shall now withdraw our candidate, Dr. Tyng, altogether from Pennsylvanie, and place him in St: George’s church, Beekman street, in the godly city of New York, to which he has been already invited by the household of faith worshipping there. Here we will train him for the great race inthe diocese of New York, where the pasturage is rich, and “God? corbies,”as the pious old Scotchwoman designated the ministers in holy things, are well provided for. We must make Dr. Tyng a Bishop. We are determined never togive itup. If we be defeated in NewYork, we can follow the apostolic exhortation—“If you bé persecuted in one city, flee to another.” If we be beat in New York, then, why we will fleeto Co- ney Island, and make the Doctor bishop of that great diocese, at all risks and at every haznrd. We have influence with the Governor of Coney Island— we have. When driven to our wits’ end, we can always land at Coney, Island in peace and safety, without the slightest danger of breaking limb, for the sand is very soft there. Be’ of good cheer, then, brother Tyng. Be strong in the faith. All shall yet be well with thee. Weare cast down, but not yet wholly discomfitted. We are thy friend, and Coney Island still bares her fair and generous bosom to the ever-murmuring sea! Clams! forever ! Common Sense versus Lawyers’ Srnse.-A case was tried and disposed of in the Marine Court the otherday, which is curiously i!lustrative of the superiority of plain Common sense headed views, and and sophistries of | The case was on OverrunoW or Tuc INPLUENGE or THE York Henary !—We over the wrong: nate and perverse quibblings tung lawyers. anderand libel, and accord- ing to the allegatio: the plaintiff, gross and ag- gravated in the ext The defendant was charg- ed with declaring u: plaintiff, who practices as a physician, had dissected the body of his own son —hung up the skeleton in his office—and: that he was a “ consummate scoundrel.” A great deal of scandal was also recited in the. plaintiff's accusa- tion, which the reporters, in the plenitude of their characteristic good taste and discretion, deemed “ unfit for publication.” The defence was justifica- tion, and it was further alleged that the plaintiff was not a regular physician, but had been a butcher in his native country, Germany. Well, that was no crime, nor indeed disquulifieation, provided he were a good butcher. If he wielded the knife with dex- terity, and was a good hand at killing, wae he not the fitter for his new calling? However, be that as it may, the jury, reversing the judgment of the court, who charged in favor of the ,plaintiff, gave a verdict in favor of the defendant, settling the case on the principles of plain common sense. If the case had been tried in our Circuit Courts, the defendant would of course have been found guil- ty, and fined or imprisoned. No such evidence would have been admitted as that on which the common sense of the jurymen inthis instance act- ed. The Supreme Court have now the famous Cooper case under their consideration, and are about to de- cide on the law of libel. We commend this instruc- tive cise to their profound attention. It is but one of the thousand instances showing that an ounce of common sense is worth all the lawyer’s sense in the world. Tuearnicats.—Tue Parx.—The house was not so crowded as usual last night. “Money” was the play—a rather indifferent production—and the part sustained by Anderson, is one in which his talents do not by any means appear to advantage. To-night he appears in the “Elder Brother,” and on Monday and who night plays Richard the Third. That will draw a great house. Caste GarpEn.—Last night there was one of the best houses that has yet been seen at this beautiful place. The performances consisted of parts of the | and operas of Semiramide and the Barber of Seville, and it was the last night of the Italian troupe, though from the satisfaction evinced at their efforts, they will probably be re-engaged. There were present over two thousand persons, among them were many who reside in the remotest parts of the city, and though the night was cool, the saloon was very warm and comfortable. Tue Curnoxzes.—We received, a few days ago, a very interesting communication from the Chero- kee nation, from a source which we are justified in regarding as respectable and reliable, and giving a detailed statement of the views and position of the “Ridge party,” as opposed to the “ Ross party,” in that controversy, which has for years torn and distract- ed this ancient people. ‘This communication we mean to publish as soon as possible. {n this day’s Paper, as preparatory to the publication of the letter just alluded to, we give an article from a newspaper published in the Cherokee nation, and. which des- cribes in eloquent and forcible terms the wrongs and sufferings of this portion of the proscribed and out- raged red-races of this continent, Merrine or Tat German Democrats.—We are requested to call attention to a reportin the adver- tising columns, of a meeting of the Germans held in Bayard street.
