A large quantity of stolen goods, of every descrip- tion, was discovered in the house of Justice Squires, at Concord, N. H., last Friday right.

We doabt the fuet. That avoiher democratic paper might be advantageously started at Washington ona platiorm somewhat similar to that occupied by the administration, is possible enough ; but we bave no reasep to believe that the cabinet teriourly entertain any notion of becoming foster mother to such arheet Finally it has been generally rumored that special orgaa of the administration was to be established ia this city. We have heard that such was the personal wish of the President. Nothing could be suggested that would coincide more closely with the views of a large section of the New York democracy. Large suma of money have been raised, we understand tor the purpose of supplying the proposed “ organ” with a meaas of subsisteuce—no one. even among the most ar- ‘dent friends of the cabinet, baving the remotest hope qhat a special ergan bere would be able to support itrelt An editor hus been spoken of and we fancy Mr. Foruey has taken no very active measures to conceal the fact that he was the man. A good deal of negotiation and io- trigue bave been carried on among the wire pullers on the subject of 2 paper already estab- lished here. Either of two sheets, which pos sess the advantage of having advocated de- mccratie principles at a very heavy coat to their owners, for the last few months. could be had for a song ; and it has been suggested that the name, at all events, was worth buying. On the other hand, it has been urged that a news- paper destined to speak the sentiments of the cubinet ought to appear before the world with unblemished reputation and spotless character; that the value of paper without subscribers sud without advertising was, to say the least. very difficult to appreciate in money ; aud that between the two Democrats, the safest policy to pursue was to decline the patriotic offers of both and introduce a “third Richmond” to the field. This course is believed to be the one recommended by the self-sacrifieing Mr. Foraey, who, for the good of his party. is ready to re- sign the honors and emolument, he now enjoys in order to propagate sound democratic doc- trine in New York at sixty dollars a week. Snch is the project nuw under consideration by the cabinet and the democratic party. We should be sorry to say anything that eouli dis turb the even tenor of their deliberations. If the New York democracy have reason to be dis- satisfied with the party papers now published here they are, we take it quite at liberty to supersede them by new ones. and to make the condition of their support to the letter a firm pledge of unflinching fidelity to the eabinet With such an arrangemeut the publie conlt have no reasonable grounds of qnarrel or inter- ference. Ent if it be seriously proposed to mulct th: people of the United States to the tage of seve- ral thousand a year, in order to supply pap to a Lewspaper that under no combination of cir- cumsta:ces can be fairly expected to pay its printers’ bill tor some time to come. every citi- zen bas a clear right to his szy thereon For cur part, we confess that we should see the ap- pearance of such a jourual with regret. We shall not, we trust, be accused of meau, or mer- cenary, or jealous motives. for making the statement. No one whose opinion is worth taking on such a subject will suxpect us ol so narrow a view of the profession as to object to new comers under whatever auspices; and no one who is familiar with the busi- ness of journalism can fail to see that we are in reality. disinterested judges oa the point. We repeat then, that we should see the estublishment of a special Presidential organ ia this city with unfeigned dislike. And we doubt uot that a little reflection will induce all think- ing members of the democratic party to concur in our views. It is a wrong thing to undertake any commer- cial enterprise on a basis of fictitious support It is unjust in the abstract, and ultimately in- jurious to its own promoters. To give effective support to a party. or any set of men, or princi- plee, a newspaper must first be able to support itrelf When itis notoriously incapable oftoiag this—when every one knows that its opinions are sold, and its existence preserved from day to day by official pap—it ceases to command the attention or respect of the public, and is of no greater assistance to its patrons than the vote cf a custom honse officer or postmaster. News- paper support, to be worth anything at all. must be independent and discriminating. It must be gratuitously and spontaneously offered: and the public must know that the journalist is at liberty, whenever his houest conviction prompts. to withdraw his confidence and assail his former protégé. The opinions of such a journalist as this wil! carry weight: the mass of the public will adopt his views with entire confidence, and even those who are in the habit of forming their own opinions will dis- trust their judgment when it is opposed to bis. With a paid “organ” the case is entirely different. Personally he reaps nothing bat contempt for his degrading posi- tion, aud the only result that he is eure to at- tain, so far as his employer is concerned. is to convince the public that bis acts require special pleading for their defence, The whole system of official organs is one equally degrading to the press and to govern- ments. It is humiliating to any man of intel- het to resign voluntarily his freetiom of thought, and bind himself by hls bread and ‘utter to approve measures he may really dis I'he and censure what he may really admire, Lut it is far more humiliating for a govora- ment to make an open confe n of the tac hat its policy cannot expect to meet with public favor unlees artful rhetoric be employed ‘o emooth over its defects. and specious plea et ap on its behalf by hired advocates. This is the ease in France, and we need tell no oue hew low it has degraded the press, or how injurious the system has proved to the Empe ror's real advances to popularity. If Mr. Pierce intends to discharge his duty honestly and well, bo will peed no organ, either dent papers all over the country will do him justice, avd the approval of one of tlhese wil! be worth the elaver of # dozen mercenaries. If he have rearou to fear that he cannot retain bir hold of the public affections, hiring public writer to puff and bedaub him with praise will only hasten the consummation he is striving to avert. Tue Last or THE Tapie Rocx at Niacara— Tue Worxino or THE Fatis.—The Falls ot Niagara are gradually moving up stream Ac- cording to our telegraphic advices of yesterday the last of the Table Rock has tambled in. It was inevitable. It had to go. Nothing can be more simple than the work of excavation which, from time immemorial, bas bees going on at Niagera Falls. Almost every year, an! fre quently several times in a year, some portion of the shelf over which the river plunges tumbles into the chasm below, creating some visible change in the grand curve of the Horse Shoe or in the irregular line of the American Fall. The process. as we have said, is exceedingly simple. The general level of the country of Lake Ontario is some three hundred feet lower than what of Lake Erie. The d pression is abruptly marked by a terrace drawn across Niagara river, near Lake Ontario, rrom which lake said terrace appears like a mountain ridze stretching across the country. the summit of this ridge forming the level of the country o” Lake Erie. In the qpiginal outflow from Erie to Ontario. then, the river was very naturally precipitated over this terrace, as down the side of a mountain. But soon the fall became perpendicular, as the geological structure of this upper country will show in a glance at the sides of the chaem below the present Falls. From Lake Erie to the descent near Ontario. the first formation under the arable soil is a mass of primitive limestone from eighty to one hundred feet thick. Underneath thie a friable alate or shale succeeds, which is under- lined by sand. &c. The river finds it a slow business to grind down this immense over- lapping plate of solid limestone; but the work of excavation is easy by the simple process of undermining it. The stream at first. falling over the terrace, washed away the loose mate- rials at the base, and, from the tremendous volume of water pouring down, soon scooped out a deep basin at the foot of the Fall. Then the action of water and air combined rapidly disintegrated and moved away the friable ma- terials forming the back of the Fall, until the overtopping layer of limestone was left projecting like a shelf across the stream, over which the mighty mass of waters was thrown into the chasm below. But as the work of disintegration went on underneath, aud as the pulverized materials were washed away this impending shelf of limestone, from its super- incumbent weight, broke off and fell into the basin; and thus the Niagara Falls have un- douttedly been working their way u, stream for several thousand years, In this way the deep and narrow gorge, or canon. of some nine or ten mi es from the Falls to the lower country. bas been cut out. The masses of rock which form the fearful rapide down this awful passage are but the fragments trom the common level of the cliffs, which, on each side, indicate a solid body of limestone ot from eighty to one hundred feet in thickness. ‘The same process accounts for the Table Rock and its fall. Imthe course of years another table rock will thus be formed, projecting over the water, and admitting of a sate passage under it between the falling river in front and the crumbling wall behind it; but this, too, as its basis is removed, will, from the elementary laws of gravitation, tumble into the gulf. The work of retrogradation at Niagara is slower, as we should judge, at this time, than ever before. The interveutioa of an island has divided the stream, and the great width of the Canadian branch alone bas diminished the ex- cavating force of the river to less than half its power when the Falls were a mile lower down. and the whole overplua of Lake Erie was concen- trated into a channel of some eight hundred eet wide. From the American shore to the Canadian, including the island, the circuit of the Falls now is extended to nearly a mile But they illustrate at a glance their tuture plan of operations. Comparatively a light body of water passes over the American ¢hannei, ineufficient to ccoop out a bed for the broken limestoue as it tumbles in. It therefore lies piled up in rugged magses above the surface of the water where it has fallen, This branch of the river, too, has dropped a third of a mile or nore behind the Canadian, from the same cause: the lack of the motive power to do the work. It will be observed, also that the centre of the Horse Shoe is gaining rapidly upon the sides, the heaviest body of water being in the centre. The Horse Shoe will thus probably reach the head of Goat Isiand, and absorb the water of both channels, before the Americau Fal) shall have made a hundred yards further up stream. In this event the village of Niagera Falls will be left high and dry, and Goat Irland will become part of the main land But as the comet is to knock this old planet of ours i.to flinders, on or before the thirteenth instant, it is idle to follow Niagara any further, Tue Pastors att Retvnnep AND Resvmtna THEIR Duties —Each Sabbuth day for the past month or more has witnessed the opentag of one or more honees of worship in New York. which had been closed during the summer ab sence in the country of congregations and pa» tore. To-day will see the re-opening of the rest. Next Sunday we suppose there will not be a single church in the .city so ciream- starced in which divine services will not be celebrated. In noticing this subject a week or two slice we gave expression to our hope and belief that the clergymen generally, in resuming their spiritual connection with their flocks, would avail themselves of the appropriate opportani ty to make collections in their several clarche for the relief of our suffering fellow-ereature ot New Orleans, We rejoice that the istine tion was in most instances acted on, And w hope thet the churches which will wel ye back their pastors to-day will also contribate liberally towards the same philauthrop c object Some of them, indeed. have publish-d notice that collections for such purpose will be made to-day. We may particularly mention in th» category the Jewirh synagogue io Norfolk street. And, in doing so, we must not neglect paying our well-deverved mecd of praise to the congregation of Greene street synagogue who contributed last Sabbath three hundred and twenty-five dollars to the same beneficent canee Men brethren. and Christians, be not overthadowed in the practice of good works by the unbelieving Jew. Remember, “he that xiveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord.” And we migbt add, with Dean Swift: He that likes the security, down with the ¢aah)? Ovr Comprxoiier’s Rerort.—Our city tax payers will find the anvual report-of our Comp- troller, which we publish this morning, sab- stantially intererting. It treats of the matter of fact articles of dollars and cents from be- gioning to end, and from first to last is striking- ly suggestive of increased taxation for the future, Among the expenditures, the small item of three hundred and twenty-two thou- rand five hundred and seventy-one dollars and forty-nine cents, ($322,571 '49 ) for clean- ing the streets, wil! astonish our fellow citizens, who have been laboring under the delusive idea that our streets have been deplorably dirty all the time. The item of four bundred and fifty thousand dollars for the Almshouse, ir also somewhat startling. when we consider it in connection with the mumerous beggars upen the streets, The aggregate, exceeding six hundred thousand, for the police, is moder- ate enough. The service ‘pays well at that price. Upon the whole we are not beyond the reach of hope—the case is not so bad as we bad feared it would turn out tobe. But there is an immense margin indicated for ‘ retrench- ment and reform”-—immenre ; and it is to be hoped that, overriding all party considerations, our tax payers will take the subject of our city expenditures into their own hands, and do something to cut down these appalling millions of debts and expenses. Read the report. ~ CeLEBRAtion or Mexican Victorres—New England is giving to the other divisions of the country ‘a very proper'example and one well worthy ofimitation. It is the commemoration of some of the brilliant victories which our army attained in the Mexican war. Some weeks since we had occasion to notice the cele- bration in Hartford of the anniversary of the days of Contreras. We now find that in the City Hall of the same city a grand mili- tary and civic ball isto be given to the officers and members of the Ninth or New England re- giment—Pierce’s brigade—on Wednesday even- ipgnext, in celebration of the capitulation of the capital of Mexico. The public generally are invited to attend without other special invita- tion than the published announcement. We ex- pect that the celebration will be avery brilliant and attractive one. Bravo, Hartford! Democratic Harmony.—Talk of Jullien’s band! it is all moonshine compared with the hurmony of the New York democracy, includ- ing the various organs, hards and softs. sharps and flats. Could anything be more beautiful than the two sets of city delegates elected to Syracuse—the one headed by that hard butt- ender Mike Walsh, and the other by that dexter- ous and fascinating soft shell, Joho Van Buren, the Princc—the true Prince of the new dynasty of Tammany Hall? Nothing could be more har- monious. The variations of Yankee Doodle are rediculous, and the Carnival of Venice, basso relievo, on the big fiddle of Bottesini, is a fooy to it— that is to say, to the democratic medley which will ,be played av Syracuse by the re- united democracy of two or three hundred per- formers, Arivat of the Steamship Tlitvols, The United States Muil steamsbip Ilino's, Capt, Harteteine, U. 8.
