Jefferson Davis and puts in the Hon. A. 0. P. Nicholson. The list now stands as follows : ‘Wm. L. Marey, N. ¥ .++. Secretary of State. James Guthrie, Ky... Secretary of the Treasury. Robert McClelland, Mich Secretary of the Interior. A. 0. P. Nicholson, Tenn Secretary of War. James C. Dobbin, N. C. Secretary of the Navy. James Campbell, Penn. Postmaster General. Caleb Cushing, Mass. Attorney General. By reference to our telegraphic columns the read- | er will find fall and interesting particulars of the movements of General Pierce, the politicians, office | seekers, &c., in Washington and elsewhere. Also, | the neat and appropriate speech of the General on the occasion of the presentation of the handsome riding equipage yesterday. It is understood that the | inavgural address is in type, and will be forwarded to | this city and delivered to the press as soon as it is | presented in Washington. As the session of Congress approximates to a close, | the proceedings daily become more and more in- | teresting. Both houses were busily engaged yester- | @ay in perfecting the Appropriation bills, and short speeches were the order of the day, with the excep- tion of the harangue of Senator Houston against the Monroe doctrine resolutions andéhe general braga- docio orations that have been indulged in of late,a slashing passage at >rms between Sena or’s Clarke and Weller, and the announcement of Hon. Mr. Smith, in the House, that he desired to print a speech wherein he would corroborate the already established fact that the great delay of public busi- mess is altogether chargeable to the non-attention and non-aitendance of Congressmen themselves. He intended to prove that sixty-five members were con- tinually absent, although they received the'r per diem. Among the eighty-five amendments of the Senate to the Civil and Diplomatic bill, the House agreedto the one establishing an assay office in this city, which will be of immense benefit to the retarning Califor- ‘aiang, as they will thus be able to get the full value for their gold immediately upon landing, instead of being compelled to dispose of it at an exorbitant sac- Tifice 10 speculators. The amendment increasing the salaries of the Vice President and heads of depart- ments to eight thousand dollars per year each, was rejected, notwithstanding the incontrovertible fact that it costs the officers named about twice as much to properly maintain the dignity of their positions as they receive. For this very reason, it is perfectly well understood that a distinguished gentleman from Virginia was compelled to decline a cabinet appoint- ment under General Pierce. The democrats can bardiy expect to retain power unless they place com- petent men in the van—and competent men, unless they are wealthy, cannot afford to occupy posts which do not yield them sufficient to live. The majority of the House ought to have taken these things into con- sideration. Read the day's proceedings, under the proper head. We have in type, and shall publish at the earliest | opportunity, a speech delivered by Senator Seward last Tuesday night, on the subject of the debt due to | the creditors of Texas. A large number of Congressmen yesterday break- fasted on board the caloric ship Ericsson, inspected | the machinery, &c., and afterwards expressed their great approbation of everything connected with the vessel. It is understood that she is to sail for Aus- tralia in a few weeks, and from thence will proceed | to England. The members of the New York Legislature con- tinue to whittle away time, apparently wholly re- gardless of the public interests, and ina few days we may expect to find thera in about the same pre- dicament that Congressmen now are concerning the appropriation bills—i.e., everything to do and no | time to do it in. The whole day was spent by the | Senate in a spirited eontroversy respecting the | management of the Union College. It was merely a | renewal of the old difficulty growing out of the re- port made by Senator Beckman last year. It ap- pears to have been a sort of promiscuous fight among the whigs, and as such, was doubtless relished with great zest by the democratic spectators. There was @ brief but interesting debate in the Assembly, grow- ing out of a report adverse to the incorporation of | the National College of Physicians and Surgeons in | this city—beside which nothing of interest transpired. At the recent municipal elections in Utica, Roches- terand Buffalo, the democrats haye elected their candidates for Mayor, and a majority of the othe officers, except in the last named place, where the whigs retain their power in the City Council. Th: democrate have also elected their Mayor in Chicago, Ill. These democratic triumphs are naturally to be expected. It rests altogether with those in power whether by the judicious administration of the public affairs, their party will continue in the as- cendancy or not. General James T. Pratt his been selected as the democratic candidate for Congress, in the first dis- trict of Connecticut. Intense anxiety «till exiets in Charlestown, Mass., concerning the fate of the young Irish girl who was recently converted to Protestantism, and who so sud- denly and mysteriously disappeared some weeks ago. The excitement yesterday became so great, that the authorities deemed it prudent to order out the military and fire department, in order to be able to quell any disturbance that might take place. It was fortunate these preenntions were taken, for at night @ mob, numbering some five thousand persons, gathered about the Richmond Street Catholic Church, and commenced breaking down posts, fences, &c.; but several military companies soon ap- peared upon the ground and put the rioters to flight. Unless the mystery concerning the girl is cleared up, farther disturbances may be anticipated. Two extensive dry goods houses are reported to have fatled in Providence, R. I., yesterday—one for | fifty thousand and the other for one hundred thou, sand dollars. The hog crop of the West appears to have turned | ont most bountifully this yeas. According to the re- | turns the excess of animals slaughtered and packed over last year amounts to four hundred and eighty- ene thousand. No wonder that pork has a down- ward tendency in our market at the present time. Reporte of several more maritime disasters wil) be onnd under the telegraphic head. The latest ac. | count from Scituate, Mass., announced that the New York ship Forest Queen, from London, was going to pieces, and that nearly all her cargo had been wash- ed out, and was a total loss, The Hon. R.C. Winthrop, of Boston, delivered an historical lecture yesterday evening at Metropo- litan Hall, under the auspices of the Historical So- ciety of this city. Our reporter attended in order to give the reader an aecount of the discourse, but aa the honorable gentleman made a special request that the lecture should not be reported, our repre- sentative, in common with his brethren of the press, complied with this desire, and refrained from taking notes. Rev. Dr. Scott delivered a lecture, last evening, at the Ninth street Reformed Dutch Church. His subject was “ The origin, history, extension, and study of the English language,"’ which he illustrated very forcibly by referring to large maps of the world, which were hung on the walls. He said that the English language was composed of the Anglo- Saxon, Celtic, Gothic, Norman, and the classical languages. This fact was the reason why it was the | only pure and forcible language spoken. He con- tended that the only way to learn onr native tongue thoroughly was to study those five lingual elements of which it is composed. Last Tuesday evening, after the conclusion of the regular toasts and the delivery of volunteer senti- ments by officers of the St. David’s Society and others, the President called upon Dr. Jones for a toast; that gentleman, after a brief address, gave “Cymra fa Cymru fyd,”—‘‘Cambria that was and ever shall be.’ We have a report of the speech, but from the crowded state of our columns we are compelled to postpone it, with the other proceedings, for another day. The Doty perjury trial really draws to a conclu- sion. The testimony on both sides closed yesterday; and, according to the arrangements for summing up, &c., at the afternoon session this day the case will be given to the jury. Charles Goebel, a German, poisoned himself yes- terday at his boarding howe, No. 195 Fulton street, by taking a large quantity of prussic acid. The coroner could not ascertain the cause which led. to the commission of the rash act. Coroner O'Donnell will resume the inquest upon the body of John McCabe, who was killed in an affray in Water street on Tuesday evening, at one o'clock this afternoon. The annexed is a brief summary of the contents of our inside pages:—Report of the Execution of Samuel T. Treadway, for the murder of his wife, in Salem county, N. J.; account of another Murder in the Fourth ward ef this city; Letter from Mr. Davies relative to the Fort Gansevoort property; a card from Alderman Sturtevant concerning the Grand Jury's Presentment; Address to the New York Legislature with regard to the Surplus Moneys in Savings Banks; Extraordinary Procéedings of the | Prison Association; Commercial Review, &c. The steamship Cambria is over due at Halifax, with three days later advices from Europe. She is now in her twelfth day. Civic Corruption—The Meeting on Saturday. We were not mistaken when we gave the peo- ple of this city credit for sufficient vigor to avert the catastrophe to which official corrup- tion cannot fail to lead. There is, we know, vitality enough in New York to withstand, un- harmed, perils of a far more formidable nature. Individual occupations, and the engrossing cares of business, may, for a while, prevent people from taking a lively concern in the public weal. Merchants may be content, at first, to smile at the tales of municipal corruption, so long as the cotton market is firm, and professional men may, for a time, make merry at the expense of the Aldermen, without reflecting seriously on the ultimate results of the system which affords them food for mirth. But this apathy cannot last long. A day must come when every citi- zen feels his personal honor and interest staked on the iesue of the struggle for reform. A few timely words must at last force on the minds of the people at large, the wholesome conviction that iniquities are practised in broad daylight in this community, which, if not checked. must culminate in the decline and fall of the State This day has arrived. The necessary appeal has been made. The response is the call fora public meeting, which we published yesterday. And first we will notice that the memo- randum appended to the advertisement, specify ing that the names annexed are a mere selec- tion from those affixed to the original document, and that by Saturday the number of signers of the requisition will amount to ten thousand, was wholly unnecessary. We should think very ill of this city if no more than ten thousand ad- voeates of municipal reform could be found in the twenty odd wards. Our confidence in the abatement of the nuisance would be severely shaken if we were induced to limit our estimate | of the reform forces at this figure. Ten thousand honest men is a very small proportion out of a population of some seven hundred thousand. or thereabouts. The city has great reason to be thankful to the inditer of the memorandum aforesaid, for the compliment paid to its inhabi- tants. To our mind, New York contains no citizen worthy the name—except, perhaps, the few poor fellows who have been caught in the trap—who would decline to incur whatever per- senal responsibility is involved in signing the requisition. One hundred thousand signatures could be obtained as easily as ten. But this is a trifling matter. The main thing at present is, that every man whoean speak, or think. or vote, on such a subject as this, should attend the meeting on Saturday next, and that the action taken by that assembly should be judicious, prompt and thorough. It must be clearly and generally understood hy the leaders of the movement, that the intro- duction of acrimonious censure of individuals will weaken instead of strengthen the cause. What alderman this or alderman that may have done is not worth five minutes’ attention : it is not vengeance, but reform that the city requires, And in this connection, we will take leave to question the policy which dictated the appeal to citizens to “ uphold the Grand Jury and the Courts in their recent action against the ini- quities of the Common Council,” in the adver- tisement calling the meeting. Surely the Courts are strong enough to protect themselves, without the somewhat equivocal support which a popular assembly could offer; and it is paying poor compliment to the constitution and laws under which we live, to suppose that Grand Juries require to be “upheld” by a mass meet- . in order to discharge their functions with d rectitude. The action which the te of the meeting on Saturday, is prospective not retrospective; directed against a system, not against {ndividuals, Tf any—and we will not affect to doubt that there are such —have betrayed their trust and violated the laws, our Courts are there to avenge society outraged. It is thelr province. not that of Mr. Westervelt and his co-signers of the requisition to deal with past iniquities. The meeting will become as liable to censnre as the aldermen, if they presume to anticipate or encroach upon the funetions of the judiciary. They will be equally blamable, if they waste time in sense- lees vitnperation, which can only result in ex- # 0 fecling. of sympathy for its victims. ihei hae duty is, first, to place on record an em- admiecion of the existence of the gricy ance, and secondly, to suggest aremedy. That | Mame Smuron—To day the Legislature of Maine will they will not fail in the former, there can be no doubt ; our only fear is. as we have said, that with the precipitation peculiar to an angry mul- titude, they may go too far, and convert the sinning aldermen into martyrs. We can but hope that our warning, which will doubtless find an echo among our cotemporaries, will avail something to prevent this error. There is more room for anxiety with regard to the second point. Most of the remedies which have been suggested are surrounded by dangers. On the one side, they either go too far, and amount to an abolition of the city council altogether, or, on the other, they oppose such a feeble bar- rier to the progress of corruption that dishonest men and cunning lawyers would soon beat it down or overleap it. A middle course, which will neither plunge us into the disorders of municipal anarchy nor afford any scope for bribery or peculation, is the desideratum which we must expect from the wisdom and patriotism of the prime movers at the meeting. There is much that we approve in the published exposition of their designs. The “ immediate reorganization of the City Council” is eminently desirable—the how and the where- by are, however, left to the imagination of the reader, and it does not fall to our lot to supply the prudent omission. Light is thrown on the subject by the allusion to the alteration in the franchise, eo that “the members of the two boards shall be elected from districts of different magnitude;” and in this suggestion we empha- tically concur. Any measure which will have the effect of rendering it impossible to purchase the favor of the Council merits adoption. In like manner, the whole city will echo the cry for an extension of the veto powers of the Mayor. One man dare not be dishonest, where twenty might ; responsibility, like every other burthen, is lessened by division. It is for our interest that it should be increased. Nor will the notion of altering the time for the munici- pal elections from the fall to the spring, fail in securing the sympathy of the people. So far, the suggestions of the signers of the requisition are judicious. We need not say, however, that to attain any practical end, more cannot be done than is here foreshadowed. And we will once more repeat. that the task which de- volves at this conjuncture upon the citi- zens of New,York in their collective capa- city. is absolutely trivial when compared with their individual duty. Corruption will never be stayed by hot appeals to the honor of the community in newspapers. or by angry resolutions passed at a public meeting. The evil must be met by the frown in private life, and the stern reproof of society. Men must learn to feel that to receive a tale of the dishonesty of their representatives with a placid smile. and to allude to civic corruption as a matter of course, is to blazon forth their own callousness to dishonor, and to foster the infamy they pretend to decry. Public pecula- tors and betrayers of high trust, must be shun- ned and made to feel the disgrace of their con- duct. They must be stigmatized by the old, and pointed out to the young as examples to be eschewed and despised. By such means, and by such only, will New York eradicate the canker which is gnawing at its heart. A pub- lie meeting may assist such a social movement as this, and give heart to timid individuals; and on this ground we commend it. But clamor on such a subject is worse than useless. Tue Prison AssociaTION TURNED INTO AN ABO- Lition Movement.—The Prison Association is, in its design and tendency, avery useful and much needed institution; and so far from desir ing to say a word against it. we have been always disposed to promote its objects, as far as in our power lay. But we cannot shut ouf eyes to the fact that. whether by design or mismanagement, the anniversary meeting of Monday evening was turned into an arena for the propagation of abo- lition of slavery, abolition of capital punish- ment, abolition of war, abolition of property. abolition of the distinction established by nature. between the sexes, and abolition of brandy and wine. and other drinks bestowed by Heaven for the temperate use of man. In fact, all the isms and fanaticisms of the day were in full blast, as may be seen by reference to our report. It is to be regretted that such speakers were in- vited to addrees the meeting, or when invited, that a stipulation was not made that they should strictly confine themselves to the objects of the association. instead of being ailowed to roam at pleasure through all the range of absurd ideas springing from the addled brains of fana- ties and demagogues. There was only one de- sideratum to complete the tout ensemble on the stage, and that was Horace Greeley with his white coat. It is a melancholy consideration that associations, in themselves most laudable, should be thus perverted to folly and mischief, and that the good that would otherwise be ef fected is either completely defeated, or other evils are engendered worse than that which is the object of the reform in question. The fault lies with our sound thinking citizens them- selves, who do not come forward and take a part in the proceedings of good societies: We wish the Prison Association every success; but its anniversaries are not fit occasions for the preaching of sermons by women; nor ought the place where its meetings are held be turned into an abolition shop, and a conventicle for the dissemination of treason, sedition, and all manner of blasphemy. Talk on "Change. The daily transactions on ‘Change not only interest parties immediately concerned, but, as they go far to regulate the prices of produce in a great central and con trolling market, they become matters of more or less in- terest throughout the country. Henee the daily press finds it necessary to obtain, as far as practicable, daily re porte of the same. The centre of the rotunda in the Mer- chants’ Fxchange may be considered pretty near the centre of trade, 90 far asa large portion of the United States, the Canadag, and West Indies are coneerned. So important is the influence of the New York prices, that whenever a steamor with later foreign news arrives, parties in most other cities do not feoi dixposed to operate until they can learn how far it has influenced the New York markets, Brief reports of them are sent daily, by tele- graph, to all the principal cities and towns. If flour, grain, provisions, &e,; rise or fall in New York, a corres- ponding rise or fal! Immediately succeed: in most other places. There was further conversation regarding the incon- veniences of the city Post Office. A highly respectable firm applied for a box, when they were told that two hun- dred applicants had been denied, as the supply fell short. But, it seems, the fia were subsequently informed that they could have « box for $25, and the $4 anual rent, meking $29, which they pnid. It seems some party who owned box, had beom willing to relinquish its use in favor of the firm at this premium. This state of things should be remedied. It wns, also, suggested that the alphabet for letter windows should be further sub divided, and that it would be « good idea to have a window each, for all the fmiths, Joneses, and Johnsons, or for the let ters of 3. & J. alone Tt war stated that Arthur Leary.
