Of all the melancholy things to be witnessed, about these melancholy times, in the melancholy village of Washington, the movements of the for- lor band of office-begging editors are, perhaps, | the most distressing. We do not recollect any former occasion on which so many of the fra- ternity beset a new administration, demanding a | share of ‘the spoils.” ral Jackson, to be sure, was subjected to the assaults of a very nu- merous and hungry pack of editors, in full ery after the flech-pots. yet alive, who may remember the famous pro- | There are probably many persons | cession of editors who went in a body to the White | House, determined to take no denial from the Old | Hero of New Orleans. They took their measures | with a good deal of common sense and discretion. There were at least four-an¢-twenty of them, and | they took up their line of march for the White House in single file, like a string of onions—the | hungnest, leanest, and most ragged individual of | the lot being placed first. Thus they started, ona | regularly graduated scale of starvation and tatters, | till the line ended in one, who was fat and rubicund, and looked as tolerably decent as cir- cumstances admitted. They were told before- hand, that if the fat kine went first, it would be all up with them ; but if the General happened to be «i? the melting mood,” the sight of the bare- boned wretches amongst them would at once ee aed ALBANY glory ef former exb whichis endeavoring to control peintme ir "The following article on the subj movement, intended to bear upon the next clection, has recently been developed fore the adjournment of the late extra session of the United States Senat Licute ak Gy State ‘Lhe immediate ob eppointnent of Go the ofc fee in th nation of Mr, Seward as the n¢ Presidency, | country, and not of a party. settle their business. The ruse was successful. General Jackson was so appalled by the miserable aspect of the poor devils at the head of the proce: sion, that his bowels of compassion were moved for the whole party, and every mother’s son of them got an office! The respectable and intelligent masses of the community have been at once mortified and amused by the conduct of the office-seeking editors who have been buzzing about the White House, like so many angry wasps around a cask of mo- asses, ever since the advent of the new adminis- ration. Several of these vociferous applicants for «fice have not the excuse of starvation, and must e classed with those begging impostors who in- est the highway, clamorous for alms, and yet are ound by the police to have a store of silver and gold hid away in some wretched hovel. ‘There is an editor, in a neighboring city, who has been quite successful in his newspaper business, and yet, for twenty years, he has been boring the whigs fer an office. He now wants to be made a post-master! in our own metropolis, the proprietor and editor of one of the “ respectable sixpenny” papers has been dogging the administration, by night and by day, pressing with characteristic and ridiculous vehe- mence his claim to a lucrative diplomatic appoint- ment. These men cannot plead the palliation of the pangs of hunger,—and yet they are as shame- less and inceseant in their appeals to the charity of the government as the neediest and most desperate of the whole tribe. We admit that many of these begging editors are wretchedly poor. There is a sincerity im their whine acutely distressing to the ear. The tone of despair which characterizes their appeals would affect even a heart of stone. No one can doubt their necessitous condition. We must confess, however, that, notwithstand- ing the positive wretchedness of many of these editors, and the high-sounding pretensions of others, we cannot see how General Taylor can bestow office upon them, consistently with the principles which were so solemnly announced in his inaugural address. If an editor be worthy of his vocation—if he be engaged faithfully and usefully in the discharge of his duties—it would be clearly wrong to withdraw him from his appro- priate sphere. If, on the contrary, the office-beg- ging editor be good for nothing in his own calling, it is prema facie evidence of his incompetency to serve the public creditably in the capacity of an officer of the government. All these beggars claim office on the ground of services in securing the election of General Taylor. Admitting that they did render such services, we deny that they coa- stitute a valid claim to office. But, in general, these pretensions are unfounded. Not a few of those very individuals connected with the public press who now demand office, attempted to prevent the nomination of General Taylor, and it was only at the eleventh hour that they gave in their adhesion to his cause. Thisfis quite well known to the new idministration. In striking contrast to the indecent conduct of these office-begging editors, the independent course of the conductors of the popular press must appear in the eyes of the country. It was the independent journalism of the country which first presented the claims of General Taylor—pressed those claims— and finally carried him into the White Iouse. Who doubts it? Who denies it? Is this not all matter of history? Yet no squalid, bawling, im- pudent deputation of editors, connected with the independent press, appears at Washington. The independent journalism of the country needs no eleemosynary support from any administration.

Taylor will be guided, in the matterof appointmentsnd removals, by what he said in hisletters and speeches previous to his election, and in his inaugural address after- wards. ‘They contained the principles which, he said, would guide him; and they were given volun- tarily and withoutsolicitation.

Every attempt at dictation no matter from what quarter or from what clique it may come, should be disregarded; and if any member of the cabinet should favor cliqueism or dictation, his place should be filled by another, on the mo- ment. Mopern Punrranism.—We were very much sur- prised, on reading an Eastern exchange, a few days since, to observe in a report of the proceedings of the Legislature of the State of Massachusetts, a denial, on the part of that body, to grant a charter to the celebrated College of the Holy Cross, situated at Worcester, in that State. After a prosperous ca- reer of seven years, the heads of the college, with the view of overcoming the disadvantages which they labored under in not being incorporated— among which were, the privilege of granting de- grees, of holding property under a corporate seal, and doing other things of that nature—applied for a charter tothat body. The application was referred’ to a committee, who, without assigning any reason, briefly reported adversely to the prayer of the petitioners. We do not know certainly—and the committee have determined not to enlighten us on the point— what was the reason of their reporting as they did. We presume, however, the main one was, that the College of the Holy Cross is a Catholic institution, and therefore not entitled to any favor at the hands of the Legislature of Puritanical Massachusetts. If this was really the reason—and we see no cause to doubt it—the committee who made the report, and the Legislature who received it, have proved themselves wanting in liberality, independence, and Christian feeling. They have been elected by their fellow citizens to the places which they oc- cupy, as a tribute of respect to their learning and capacity, and as competent to legislate for the in- terests of the commonwealth. Their action, how- ever, in this matter, shows that, no matter how learned they are, they are swayed, as their ancestors were, by bigotry and intolerance, and are incapable of legislating on religious sub- jects. In this State, we are happy to say that our public men are above such bigotry. Ifa seminary or college applied to them for an act of incorpora- tion, they would never descend so low as to inquire into its religious character; but would grant it at once, whether it were Jew or Gentile. evidence of this spirit of liberality, that body grant- ed, at its last session, nine thousand dollars to the Buffalo Hospital of the Sisters of Charity, an insti- tution, as its name indicates, controlled exclu- sively by Roman Catholics. They cared not for that—they merely looked at its end and aim, and made the donation. What a contrast does not this magnanimity afford to the paltry and bigoted course of the Massachusetts Legislature on the pe- tition of the College of the Holy Cross for a simple act of incorporation! It is, however, in another point of view that this act should be deprecated by all liberal people. By refusing to incorporate that college, on the ground of its being a Catholic institution, the Legislature at once proscribes the Catholic religion, through- out that State, and gives its followers te under- | stand that they may expect no favor and no tolera- tion at their hands. This is unworthy of the age in which we live, unworthy of the State of Massa- chusetts, and a libel on the American confederacy, which proclaims to the whole world, that within its borders, not only civil, but religious liberty, is enjoyed in the highest and widest degree. Jt affords | evidence, however, that the spirit of religious per- | secution is not extinct in Massachusetts, and that the intolerant disposition which sent unoffending Quakers to the stake, and demolished barrels o beer for fermenting on the Sabbath, 13 yet alive there. Hvnxenism anp Free Sortism.—The represen- tatives of the two factions into which the demo- cratic party of the State of New York is divided, have each published an address to their respective constituents, which appeared in their several or- gans. In tone both are conciliatory, and justify the opinion that there wall be eventually a re-union. he hunkers have not appointed a day for their convention, but suggest that both parties shall hold sustained by the people. On it, after all, must the present administration rely for an honest support. To its unpurchasable columns it must look for a fair, and candid, and just examination and review of the policy and action of the government ; and by its free suffrages it must stand or fall. Public men now begin to understand better the journalism of the country. The election of General Taylor was, afterall, 4 triumph over party spirit and party tactics —a triumph achieved mainly by the independent press. Was itnot? The administration may pen- sion off as many party editors as they please. It will be for the people to say whether, in doing so, the administration has acted according to the me- morable declaration of the President himself, either in the spirit or the letter of that just and | ®t St. 1 ; ‘ wholesome law.

They had not information enough betore them on which to base legislative action; but, understanding that there was something rotten in the manner in which those assessments were made, they ap- pointed a committee of investigation, whose duty it is to scrutinize the manner in which those as- sessments have been imposed during the recess. We are delighted «t this, and we call upon the committee to use energy and industry in the dis- cha: of their duties. They have some three months before them, within which to find mate- rials fer their report; and we are perfectly well satisfied that, if they go to work in a thorough manner, and are animated with a desire to detect and expose corruption, they will find instances of fraud, repeated year after year, that will astound the community. They have it in their pewer to reveal to the light of day a perfectly wholesale system of fraud and iniquity, by which the tax- paying people of New York have been swindled, year after year, of a portion of their means, for the benefit of political tricksters and their friends. We call upon them to make such an investigation, and we promise that they will find abundance of such materials as we have described. We shall look with interest for their report. guilty Tue Government Jeweis Aaary.—Another at- tempt will be made, this week, it is said, to con- viet Shuster, alias ‘Tom Hand, at Washington, on a charge of stealing the government jew- els, It having been found, by the judgment of the previous jury, that something was wanting to insure a verdict of guilty, the public authorities at Washington, and certain other parties in the adja- cent cities, have been busily engaged in hunting up further evidences and witnesses. One of the new points to be produced on the next trial will be, the production of fragments of the glass bottle said to have contained the attar of rose. ‘This evidence has been procured from the bottom of a sink, on the premises previously occupied by Shuster, in Philadelphia. The information re- specting the whereabouts or this bottle came direct from the master spirit in the affair, for who else could tell the secrets at the bottom of a well? That individual has been the grand dictator, manager, and planner, from beginning to end; and is looked | upon in Washington as one of the wonders of the present age. We are glad to see, at last, however, that the government are beginning to bestir themselves; and we hope soon to sce a good deal of the mys- tery cleared up. We learn that there is evi- dence now in the hands of Mr. Stewart, the clerk of police of this city, which, when brought to light before a jury of twelve honest men, will place another person in the felox.’s box with Shuster. It matters not to the public whether the jewels are recovered or not ; but it is very important to the community, that accomplished rogues, such as were engaged in this robbery, should be placed where a keeper 1s accountable for his Acts, and not suffered to be toasted and feasted at dinner parties, from one fashionable hotel to another, en- dangerin g the pockets of honest men. The government have the evidence at their com- mand, if they only wish to make use of it. Police Intelligence. Highway Robbery.—On the 9th of this month a man by the name of Patrick J. Waters, rosiding at No. 7 Varhington street, was crossing the Battery in the evening of that day, when he was violently assaulted by three men, who Knocked him down, beat him severe- ly, and while down they robbed him ‘of $70 in money, and a gold ring from his finger. Yesterday, officer Cum- mings, one of our expert thief catchers, succeeded in arresting a man by the name ot William Foster, on su: picion of being one of the robbers, and such subse- quently appeared to be the case, ason Mr. Waters, seving Foster, he at once identified him as ono of the ras- cals who assisted in knocking him down and stealing his money.

Benjamin Tathem.—Motion to order a feigned issue.—As the patent in question is involved ina suit against other defendants, now on the calendar, and expected tobe tried before us this term, I'am inclined to deny the motion, as that trial may in its result supersede’ the necessity of ano- ther trial at law, as the trials at law and in equity are before the same court. It is not here a matter of course to order trial at law in all cases where the validity of the patent is indispute, In a proceeding in equity, the trial in previous cases, though against different parti may be to us so satisfactory as to its validity or inv: lidity, that we would not think it worth while to ord another trial. In England the trial at law is before different court. The chancellor, therefore, has not the same opportunity of postssing himself of a knowledge of the character of the patent. As tothe question of infringement, it is never a matter of course to order a trial at law for the purpose ef determining it.

On the Five Points, the So- dom and Gomorrah of New York, there is now a fourish- ing temperance society, at least. flourishing for that de- prayed and dissolute section, Let the stranger, who is unused to the scenes of infamy, debauchery and crime, Lut stop at one of the meetings of this society. Hu- manity in all its conditions is there tobe seen, and the mind is brought to # strain of deep reflection, whether the beholder is dreaming or looking upon the wasted and attenuated forms of what were once the pride of their household, and. the favorite daughter or sonof a long since heart-broken mother, As the hour draws near to commence the ceremonies of the meeting, the stoop is crowded with those, who, through curiosity, or for the promotion of the cause, arc attracted thither, In adimly lighted room the congregation meets, and their very appearance causes the heart to sicken, at the thought that it is possible for humanity to fall to such a depth of degradation, After the miserable influences of the poisonous draught are discussed, the invitation is given fer those who wish to throw it aside to enter their hames upon a book provided for the purpose. A female advances; her garments are tattered and tora; and her countenance is flushed with wine, She wends her way slowly up and pledges herself to abstain from its use, Her face is furrowed with the weight of years, and her once black and glossy hair has become grey inthe walks of infamy. Is there hope for the reformation of her who for years has not heard aught but the midnight yLof the inebriate? But, there is cnother of tender jeurs. She approaches more cautiously. Not yet does the show that her life of shame has been of long dura- tion, but thereis a recklessness about her mien that for- bids ahope of success, Her hood drawn tightly around her face, her features are hardly visible, but as she draws nearer to the glaring lamp, there are to be seen traces of beauty. still, and her words bespeak for her that she has had the gentle maternal hand to guide her and direct her mind) and instil those principles wich adorn and render beautiful the sex. ‘That watchful guardian and protector of the ten- der plant witheréd and died when she was young, leay- ing thus the orphan who now stands to pledge bersclf toa better life, Thrown upon the cold and heartless charity of the world when so young, she wandered from the paths of virtue, but it may be that the day star of prosperity and happiness is now rising before her. But there isanother female form approaching, A smile of Joy sits upon her countenance as she whispers the word of encouragement and consolation to the fallen member ofher sex. Like the good Samaritan, she raises the wounded spirit and tells her of a place’ where she may be happy, and, unannoyed by the harsh sounds of blaspheming men and womon, prepare herself for an honorable course of life. She does not become weary, but seeks daily the haunte of wretchedness and misery to administer to the hungry, clothe the naked, and point to the degraded the highway to happiness,’ She would not be among the few who at regular periods Visit this almost hopeless locality, but for the purpose ‘fdoing good to her fellow beings. ‘This society may be productive of much good, and certainly there is no place where reformation is more needed. Should it be the cause of saving from utter ruin one of those misor- able creatures, it will fully repay those who have taken romuch pains and spent so much time for their welfare.

Wi Appeal from the Tenth District Court of Carroll —The right of ownership, un- der a marriage settlement made by partios residlag ta another State, and valid by the laws of that State, will not be affected by the removal of both to this State. A deed of trust must comply with the requisites of the law of the State in which it is made, to be of effect. A lien by judgment constitutes no right to the property itself, but confers only a right to levy on the same to the exclusion of adverse interests subsequent to the judgment. In Louisiana a marriage settlement adverse to creditors would be of no effect. Where A by a deed made over his property to B, in trust, for the benefit of his creditors, held that the legal title remains in B; and that A could not convey the same by a deed of trust to + another, for the benefit of his wife under a marriage contract. A deed so made conycys no legal title, and but gives to the intended wife, or her trustee for her benefit, the right to have a conveyance made to her of, = the payment of the debts or otherwise. ‘This suit is brought ona judgment obtained by the plaintiifs in the State of Mississippi against the defendants. ‘The object of it is to obtain a judgment in this State against Samuel Templeton, one of the defendants, and toannul a conveyance of certain slaves made by sald Templeton to the other defendant, James W. Wyley, in trust for Mrs, Templeton, in consideration of marringe, and to subject the slaves, twenty-one in ment of the plaintiff's debt. ‘The Jury in fayor of the plaintiffs agains amount of his debt, but in favor of the other defendants, Wyley and Mrs, Templeton, against the plaintiffs; and judgment having been rendered accordingly, the plain- tiffs have appealed, Eustis, Chief Justice. If the mar- riage settlement was valid against the plaintiffs under the laws of Mississippi, the parties residing there, and the property upon which it was to operate being also there, it may be assumed that the rights of ownership under it are not affected by the removal of both to this State. It is rpparent from the testimony that the reqai- of the statutes of Mississippi as to the acknowledg- t, proof or recording of the deed of trust, have not been complied with; nor does it appear that the in- strument ever had effect in the State of Mississippi. In the case of Armficld vs. Armfield, Ist Freeman's Re- ports, 316, the Chancellor of Missisaippi gives his opinion, that courts of equity go very far to sustain marriage settlements where they are just. He refers to the treatise of Mr. Atherly on marriage settle- ments, page 130, as containing the doctrine that the m of creditors is never an objection to the execu. m of marriage articles, unless they were creditors by judgment, or other matter of record: before the articles teted into. See, also, Sugden on Vendors, chap. 20—-Coote on Mortgages, 71. By the act of the Mississippi Legislature, the liens created by judgments obtained previously to its passage were limited to two years.

When we left the scene, at 12 o’clock, the unfortunate man was sinking rapidly, It was very miraculous that no person passing was injured, as at that time of the day Broadway is much crowded.

The injured men were conveyed to the City Hospital.

It is not un- derstood that that a general lien by judgment on land, constitutes in law, per se, a property ov right in theland itself.

The case cited, that of Armticid. appears to be conclusive aguinst the defendant; the settlement under these circumstances is in no sense just, nor is it free from the imputation of fraud. Templeton, the defer dant, having, by his deed of the 9th May, 1839; convey- ed his whole legal estate in tho slaves, with the other property, to his brother, for the use of his creditors, it isclear that he had no legal title remaining in him, which he eould convey in th riage settlement, The deed to his brother, whether fraudulent to his ere- ditors or not, was valid between the parties, and was of ample force, at common law, to vest the legal title to the slaves in Joseph ‘Templeton, And the deed from Samuel Tompleton to Willey, in October, 1843, convey- ed no legal title in this property. It gave to the in- tended wife, or her trustee, for her benefit, the right to have a conveyance made to her of the property, when the prior deed should be satisfied by the payment of the debts, or otherwise discharged. It only created in her fayor a lien in equity, which is of no validity against a creditor, until either actual notice, or the filing of Dill asserting such lien, which is constructive not It is therefore decreed that the judgment against Samuel Templeton be affirmed, and that in favor of Martha E.
