560 VOYAGE AROUND THE WORLD. Trip of the United “tates Steamship Susquehanna. Interesting Narrative by Rev. E, C, Bittinger, Chaplain. THE CHINESE REVOLUTION. THE JAPANESE ISLANDS, Whit to Rio, Cape of Grod Hope, Ceylon, the Sandwich islands, Acapuleo, Valparaiso, aud cthir Interesting Localities, Sie, Sie., &e, the United States war steamer Susquehanna, one of be fag ships and pioncer of the late Japan squadron, Jeft the Navy Yard at Philadelphia, on the 26th of De- ember, 1860, bound to Norfolk, where she arrived on tho 28th inat., and remained, preparatory to her depar- ture, umtil the month of June, 1861, On the 7th of haat month eho started upon her distant cruise and im. portant mission to the East Indies, Chima and Japan fleas, being at that time the flag ship of Commodere Soha H. Aulick, whose distinguished qualities as an effi- cleat commander cannet be too greatly admired, and whose success as a disciplinarian cannot be too highly extolled. After touching at the island of Madeira, she reached Rio de Janeiro on the 26th of July, where she was de- tained two months, undergoing extensive repairs, having om the passsge sprung both her fore and mainmasts, ‘and found tbat her machinery, in some parts, was en- tirely too weak, and must be strengthened before pro- ceeding on ber voyage. On the 27th of September she left Rio; and after stopping at the Cape of Good Hope, the island of Mauritius, and the island of Johanna, reached the island of Zanzibar on the 2d of December. ‘The object of this visit te Zanzibar was to in- wostigate and settle, if possible, what had become @ serious controversy between the American govera- mectand that of the Imaumof Muscat. Gur Consul, after a voluminous correspendence, had finally hauled down hia flag ana retired from the country. That this matter was promptly and properly settled, and to the entire satisfaction of the government, the letter of the then Secretary of State (the late Hr. Webster) addrossed to the Commmodore immediately upon receiving from him his report of proceedings, bore ample testimony, and well might excuse a feeling of satisfaction on the part of him by whom, it was received. On tas 8th of December the ship left Zanzibar, aad after touching at Point deGalle, Ceylon, the Island of Pinang, and Singapore, reached Macao and Hong Kong on the 4th and 6th of February, 1862, From this date until March, 1853, the ship, in accordance with instruc- tions from home, was confined principally within the waters of Hong Kong, Maeao, Canton river and Cumsing- moon, visiting, Hewever, Amoy twice and Manila once. this date, (March 20,) Commodore Aulick having re- turned to the United States, and the ship being under the command of Franktin Buchanan, Easq., @ distinguish- 4 and accomplished officer, whe is most favsrably known to the service and the country, she proceeded to Shang- hae, having on board Humphrey Marshall, Comm'ssioner toChins. Early in the month of May, Commodore Perry reached Shanghas in the steamer Mississippi, and a few days atter transferred his flag to the Susquehanna, On the 17th of the month the two steamers, in company, @ailed for the island of Loo-Choo, where they arrived on the 26th. This was the point fixed upon by the Commcdore as the place of meeting for the ships des- fined to visit Japan. While waiting their arrival, the Susquebanns, with the Saratoga in tow, made a visit to the Bonin Islands, returning to Loo-Choo on the 23d of dune, On the 2d of July, the squadron being ready, @ailed for Japan, and anchored off the town of Ur: the 6td inst. It was during this visit that Commodore Perry made his first landing, attended by a large retinue Of officers, sailors and marines, under the command of Maj. Zeilin and Capt. Slack, officers of distinction and merit, and celivered to the Japancee officials, properly ac” credited, the letter of the President of the United States to the Emperor of Japan. On the 17th the squad- yom left the bay of Jeddo, and stopping on the way at Loo-Choo, reached Hong Kong on the 7th of August. From August, 1853, until January, 1854, the Susque- hanoa was kept at Hong Kong, Macao, Cumsingmoon, and Canton river. On the 14th of January again started for Loo-Choo and Japan, reaching the hatter place on the 17th of February. This was the second visit of Commo- Gore Perry, the result of which has been made known to the world, and bas given his name to fame, for he was the honored instrument in being the first to wel- come a new member into the great family of nations, thus adding » fresh wreath te his country’s gar- land This bighty meritorious officer deserves well of the country for his successful diplomacy, which resulted in removing the barriers which charac- terized the exclusive policy of this populous empire, and opening Japan to the commerce of the world, for all other nations have only to follow in his footsteps, and the same privileges will be conceded to them. The energetic and pacific manner in which this was achieved, and the promptness as well as firmness with which he carried out the instructions of the government, cannot be too highly praised, and justly entitle him to the thanks of the country and the admiratien of the world. Before the departure of the squadron from Japan, Cem- modore Perry, having transferred his fing to the Powha- tan, the Susquehanna left for Hong Kong, where she anchored on the 24 of April. At this date the Susquehanna had been in commission three years and three months, and within a few days of throe years from the United tates, so that the term of Reevice of most of the crew had already expired. There ad beon, however, up to this time, but little complaint on their part in regard to their Cetention, the excitement and interest naturally felt by all to see the Japan expe- pition successfully brought to » clore suppressing for the time all private feeling; but when upon the return of the ship to Hong Kong, it was found but too true that & further detention was about to take place by the ship’s being placed at the dispoeal of Robert Mclane, the new Commissioner to China, the discontent and disaffection of the crew were but too apparent, and it required all the care and prudenoe of the commanding and other officers, of the ship, (not to speak of the prudence, kindnosas and winning deportment of the Commissioner, early ehows ia bis intercourse with all,) to maintain that or- der and discipline 10 essential to the efficiency of a man of war. In connexion, I cannot refrain from observ- that itise t mistake to suppose that sailors do care particularly abou? thess long detentions—that it ts only the officers who feel , aad hence sailors be treated as if they had no natural ties or natural feelings to cali them home, have feelings, and what is more, they are beginning to conceive that they have rights, and among thom is this very one of being re- turned te their homes within the three years for which they are shipped. This is the contract between them } the it. ent, based wu the wa just alluded to as only ap cases, otherwise there would be no limit to it. Those who framed the law know best whether, in Ghis view, sailors are right or j and those with ‘whom the power of moving sbips rests well know if all the cases of detention that are from time to time oc- Fig hig of the kind in question. These few remarks indulged in merely from the fact that the writer believes he has seen the bad ef- poke discipline, of detaining men too long, and uo their feelings upon the gubject, natural Gesires to be removed from the eervice ts whose well.

They destroy the idola as well as demolish the temples of the cities which they conquer, and the walJs are covered with Celestial rules for the in- struction and reformation of the peep .

You find emblazoned on their standards in imperial letters:—‘‘ The army of the true God |” After this visit of exploration, the Susquehanne and the Confucius returned to Shanghae. The invaluable services rendered by Capt. Buchanan have been acknow- ledged in the most complimentary manner by Mr. Mc- Lane, in his official account of the Susquehanna’s and Coniucius’ visit to the cities of Nankin and Wuhu. On the 19th of June Mr. MeLane and suite, consisting of the follor gentlemen—Mr. Carr, Mr. Leroy, and Mr. Cunningham, py Eales, Lieut. Duer, Dr. Messer- smith, Purser Try, and Mr. Bittinger—proceeded to Kwinsan, where he had an interview with the Viceroy of Soochow at his palace, and where Mr. McLane and suite were most lsomely entertained. one of the most vensrable look- ever seen; and as he appeared in the hall urrounded by his councillors, he rominded you that he felt that his voyage of life was drawing ra- pidly to a close, and that he was shadowing forth, in the most touching and affecting manner, the fallen fortunes of his country. On the 1st of August the Susquehanna left for Hong Keng, stopping on her way, off the mouth of the river Ming, opposite Fachow, and’ at the city of Amoy; again Vieited Macao and Whampoa, returning to Hong Kong op the 17th of August. I must not, however, omit to state by the way, that her neat and clean condition, as well as her great effi- cieney as 8 man-of-war, has been » subject of remark everywhere; and just before leaving her station she was visited L an = lish admiral, assing of Fuch capital order," deck as he left her, he remar! “Sir, you ought to consider it an honour to belong to such aship.”’ The executive officer, Lieut. Hunter, with the watch eflicers, in faithfully discharging the arduous duties of a highly responsible office, is worthy of all praise for the internal order, rules and regulations which have pre-eminently distinguished the Susquehanna since Captain Buchanan hhas had command of her. ‘The engine room has always been the great centre of attraction to visiters, and I bave witpessed with pride tho great siurprize they manifested in finding everything in these lower regions in such admirable order. Great credit is due to the chief and his assistants for the beautiful order in which they have ever been found, and if the Department wish efficient engines in the Sus- quehanna, just let the chief engineer be ordered to superintend the engines, for he is himself a master workman, and go far as a knowledge of his own pro- fession, or the engines, is concerned, stands unsuppassed either in or out of the service. On the 4th of September, with the United States store- ship Southampton in tow, she took her final departure from Hong Kong, bound for Retin ot Philadelphia via Japan, Yandwich Islands, and California. As she passed out of the harbor she saluted Commodore Perry with thirteen guns, which was returned by the United States steamer Mississippi with nine guns, and was cheered by the United States and English men-of-war in the harbor. The run from Hong Kong to Simoda, Japan, was eleven days. On this our third visit to Japan the most striking changes were observed by us all, for the exclusive policy and disposition of the officials and People was rapidly passing away, like a wreath of snow before the noontide sun. On our two former visits they were suspicious, and opposed to all foreignjintercourse. chiefly, too, among the aboare OF government and the higher classes, that govern the country in the most arbitrary manner.’ But now we found the most unbounded confidence in our in- tegrity and honor as a nation, and a strong desire mani- fexted, by high and low, to be on the most friendly terms with us. Even the ladies of the country had laid aside their reserve and shyness whieh before characterized them, excluding us from even a sight of their bewitch- ing charms, many of whom rival, in point of beauty of perron, as well as elegance of manners, our own fair countrywomen. Of course I speak now of the flower of the country, whose unobtrusive virtues and accomptish- ments sweeten and adorn Japanese homes as gracefully and graciously as the matrons and daughters of England or America, who are distinguished the world over for throwing a lustre over domestic life. The country for miles was thrown open to us, without let or hindrance, and the peasantry were picne delighted to see us, giving us a warm welcome to their simple homes, and looking upon us as worthy of their friendship and fellowship. Japan’s future can never be as her past. A number of the officers went ashore here, to en- joy the beautiful scenery of the harbor, which greets you from every point of the compass, for here Nature has indeed arrayed herself in loveliest apparel, to attract the attention and eiicit the admiration of every beholder. You have every variety of scenery in Japan, from the noble lake to the forest-erowned hill, and the beautiful landscape burning with the vermilion and the gold to the towering mountain, whose summit is covered with eternal snow, and commanding as a sentinel for hundreds of miles the provinces and the cities of Japan. Yonder stands mount Fusi in all his dignified majesty, furnishing @ magnificent landmark for the mariner, rising above the clouds towards heaven, and crowned with grandeur as a royal diadem— Whose head in wintry grandeur towers, And whitens with eternal sleet; While summer, in a vale of flowers, Is smiling rony at his feet. ‘Tbe bay of Jedo itse h its populous cities and commerce, its peaceful val \d its glowing Isndscapes, its giant mountains and its ‘blime grandeur, as it stands forth robed in loveliness and beauty and majesty isa panorama of magnificence and glory seldom sur- paseed if ever equalled on earth, and must be flang upon nvass before ever it can be fully appreciated by one as not seen it for himself, for whichever way you cast your eye, north or south,”east or west, the prospect fn. noble—{e in without exaggeration one of the most beautiful and picturesque bays in the world, and con- tains good harbors tor all the navies of the earth. japanese, in their physical conformation, differ materially from the Chinese, for the appearance ‘of the former is perfectly unique and peculiar.

Their easy walk is the very poetry of motion. bef are remarka- ble for their self possession as well as their dignified de- portment, and seldom are known to manifest the least surprise.

In one word, the Chinese are common clay, while the Japanese are pure porcelain. The Japanese temples are most beautifully and eligibly situated on the highest hills and in the most charmi groves. You caer them generatly through rows ol choice trees and wild japonicas, which are as high as our ornamental trees which shade our dwellings. They are not distinguished either for architectural taste or beauty, and bave no storied aisles and fretted roofs, but are large primitive structures, with ornamented door- ways and exposed rafters, resembling the temples seen all over China, They are neat and clean, and the floors are covered with mats. They have no hectagg ta for, like the houses, they are warmed by brasiers The most indifferent paintings adorn the walla of these temples, and in front of them you always find large bells for sum- moning the people, fonta of holy water and numerous huge idole, The highly ornamented altar is the onl, thing which attracts and retains your attention, for it almost persuades you that you are in a Roman Catholic temple; and were it ible to transfer the idols from there Japanese temples to those in America, I very much doubt whether either class of worshippers would be any the wirer, or even aware of the change. Erect a cross in a Japanese temple, and you cannot distinguish the one from the other. The priests shave their heads, count their beads, wear long robes, and the service is, attended by the lighting of candles, the burning of incense and t) ringing ot bells. The atril resomblance between t! externals ard ceremonials of the two religions is very remarkable, and must have appeared so to al) who visited them. Tbe priests who officiate in these temples are under the vows of celibacy and are by Cayton by the voluntary contributions of the people. e temples are prisetpaily Buddhist and the worshippers that throng them are idolaters, May the Sun of Righteousness soon rire upon the provinces of in, scattering the dark- ness of many generations and transfo: island- home of idolatry into one beautiful and glorious sanc- tuary!

Pursuant to this order, I was received this morning on the Powhatan, and took leave of the officers and crew of the Susquehanna, of which I beg to make you an official note, that I may express the satisfaction I have derived from the service of that pe ia pie pectoraak of my duties as Commissioner to Chi: ‘nese duties required irregular and unasual service for the officers and crew of the arborea and whether rendered at sea or in the navigation of the interior waters of China, it was performed with zeal and ability. Captain Buchanan has advised Jou doubtless, ot the movements of the ship, ana of the particular service Prrlormed by the oficers ‘and crew, in visiting the aty Ports, on the coast, and in the reconnoissance, made under my djection, of the Yang-tse-Kiang. To the report he may Mave made you on the subject, 1 wish only to add my personal acknowledgments for the cheer- ful spirit and consummate skill with which the lattor service was conducted, involving as it did great difiicul- ties in the matter of the navigation of the river, and my delicate relations to the two belligerent parties’ that occupied different points of it with their permanent batteries and blockading fleet. ‘The reconnoissance was made in the faca of these ob- stacles, and without any collision with either, though collision was more than once imminent.

It is at all times grati- fying to American naval officers to find that our official acts are approved by our countrymen abroad; but, sir, in this instance, f¥ is peculiarly ratifying to ‘us al that our official acts and social intercourse with you should have elicited s testimonial so complimentary as that a in your communication to the commander-in- chief.

How, Frrnanvo Woop, Mayor of the City of New York: Dean Sm—The receipt of your favor of the Sth inst., soliciting my aid in defeating the bill now before the Le- gislature for a reorganization of the Police Department in the city of New York, would have been more promptly acknowledged but for pressing and imperative engage- ments. I beg you to believe me duly sensible of the honor you bave done me by this request, and ready at all times to do whatever may be in my power, within the proprieties of my official, position, to aidin such legisla- tion as will promote the welfare of the city where I reside. I need scarcely say that I concur with you to the full- est extent in your estimate of the services you have rendered the city during that small portion of your official term which ban elapsed. In the particular to which you direct special attention—the closing of grog shops on Sunday, and the general decrease of vice, tur- bulence and crimejconsequent thereupon—you cor- tainly accomplished results which the mass of the com- munity had come to regard as well nigh impossible, Indeed, in view of past experience, the public wore al- most as much astonished to see the attempt made, as they were to nee . Lean understand and appreciate the truth of your statement, that you owe all 4 success to the vigor and fidelity with which your orders have been executed by the members of the cit; police; and no one will resiat more firmly than myself any legislation which shall threaten to weaken the effi- clency or relax the discipline of that department. 1 bave not been able to examine with any special care the provisions of the bill to which you refer; but so far ass cursory perusal of it enables me to judge, Iam inclined to think that Sochanew it proposes to make in the o1 ization of the Police Pepartmeat are less se- rious than you may have been led to nuppore. Under the Pope ees which you have found effi- cient, the control of the department rests with a Legace) consisting of three persons—the Mayor, Recorder, an City Che whom all laws for its government are framed, all charges of the violation of them tried, and all penalties inflicted. ‘The new bill proposes to enlarge the board to five—the Mayor being one, and the other four being elected by the people—as the remaining two ere now. There are obvious reasons, I think, why four persons, elected for the special purpose ot performing the iaborious and exacting duties of such a position, should perform them wity more vigor and {ichty than two, who are elected for other objects, and are of neces- sity burdened with other dutios. ‘our objections to the election of these officers by the people are undoubtedly entitled to weight; but they apply with at least Sanat force to the same feature of the present Jaw. And, indeed, if the absplute and un. controlled authority which you deem desirable were vested in the Mayor alone, these phjections would still apply, unless, indeed, the power of electing their Mayor were taken away the people also, am aware of the evils that may follow too great a division of power, and of consequent responsibility, in executive offices; but it has not yet been found necessary in our federal, State or municipal governments—not even in the city of New York—to yest all power in the hands of one man, and still less to deprive the people of the right of elect- ing him. Your own experience shows that, with proper vigor and fidelity on the part of the executive, New York may enjoy e benefits of a good government, un- der a system which vests control of the pees depart- ment in a board of officers elected periodically and by ‘the pedis sre mpaliinaey bad as it is, which controls our municipal elections, and which, under your administra. tion, we hope to see improved. I regard the apa w, therefore, as not differing principle from that now in’ force, under which you hat achieved the reforms which have exceeded the expecta- tions of the (deaeye quite as much as they have your own. Whether its details are essentially different, I have no knowledge of them which will enable me to say. If, by its provisio: s you allege, the Board is to meet daily, ‘of course atan hour when the Mayor cannot be present’’—if that clause ot it which confers upon vhe Mayor the powers which belong to the actual head of the department is a ‘‘contemptible falsehood,”’ ana if it does actually take away the means by which you have been enabled to disc 80 efficiently the duties of your office, I should have no hesitation in sayi: that it ought, in these respects, to be amended before it becomes alaw. But I am not sufficiently acquainted with its provisions to speak decisively of ita character in these respects. Nor, although I have known something of the members of the Legialature by whom it has been Presented and supported, am I able either to concur with, or to differ from you, in saying that it had its orl gin in personal interest rather than public advantage. I can, however, and do agree with you in opinion, that the disposition is far too ‘al to procure from the Le- gislature the enactment of laws for the otion ef the private interest, or for the enhancement of the official powers, of those by whom they are solicited. As I desire to confer with you in this correspondence with the utmost frankners. you will pardon me for recur- ring to a point in connection'wi'h this subject, of which mention was made in the conversation you once invited upon it, I shall be doing nothing which you will deem unjust or improper, when I say that you have been known for many years as a very active and devoted member of the political party with which you are con- nected, and that you are indebted to that party for the position you now fill with so much ability. ‘I suid to you then, that I had heard approhensions expressed that the claims and interests of Mond party would not be forgotten or neg’ected, although they might for a time be kept in the background; apd that the absolute au- thority you claim and exerciso over the police depart- ment might possibly be used to convert it into an ia- strument of pclitical favoritism and control. I not then, and have not now, iy disporition to qui tion’ the entire sincerity of your denial any regard whatever had been paid to political con- siderations in removals or appointments, and of your declaration “hat you would never act upon any such motives. But political omerrentias change, and men in aed sometimes change with them; an one is iable to be influenced more or less by sympathy with those with whom he acts, and by regard bes obligations already incurred as well as favors in the future that may be expected, Besides, we may not always be fortunate enough to secure the services of a Mayor so free from party biases and predilestions as yourself; and} laws murt be made for general not for special cases; they must be so framed as to protect us against their being abused by bad men, even if we are compelled for that purpose to curtail somewhat the power they confer upon the good. Absolute power, which you might use with exclusive reference to the public good, might be wielded by your successor for his own advantage. ‘the whole theory of all our institutions implies and assumes tho necessity and the policy of restricting the exercise of civil power; and much as I admire the energy aad ear nest vigor which has made the ten weeks of your ad- ministration a marked era in the history of the munici- pal government of New York, I should hesitate before venturing, from the brief though brilliant experience, to discard from the city charter so important and x0 vital a principle of all free government. cannot help hopiog, my dear sir, that if this bill shonld beco: law, you will find your apprehensicns of ita malign effects to have been without foundation; that the Police Department will be quite as much under your control for all the legitimate purposes of ernment as itis at present; that the liquor shops ad still be closed on Sun nd that no occasion will arise for your relinquishment of the position, in which you have achieved so much distinction and ren- dered such distinguished service to our great and grow: ing city. f submit these views with emtire respect and to your judgment, which I well aware likely to be correct than mine, inasmuch more familiar with the subject. I presu will have no objection that this communication be laid before the public, through the press, te which you very promptly communicated the interesting letter which it is intended to acknowledg Tam, very respectfully, your obedient servant. HENRY J. RAYMOND. The Times Contempt Case, MARINE COURT. Before Hon. Judge McCarthy. March 10.—Jn the Matter of the Publishers of the Times Newspaper and D. R. Lee, Law Reporter.—Mr. Richard Busteed, Counsel for Mr. Lee, appeared before the Court this morning, and spoke for nearly two hours in arguing against the liability of his client for contempt, and con. tending that no insult or disrespect was intended to Judge McCarthy or any member of this Court, in the pa- ragraph which appeared in the Daily Times of February 16th, He commenced by submitting that Mr. Lee was entitled to be served with interrogatories to be an- swered under oath, which not being done, the proceed. ings were irregular, and should be dismissed. He then took the ground that although a single Judge might issue tachment to bring the party into Cour iter jared the return being made it required the full Court, and nota tingle Judge, to pass upon it; otherwise the Ju who issued the writ to bring the party before him would be accuser, witness, jucge and executioner. That Mr. Lee being the mere reporter, and Messrs. Raymond & Harper having avowed themselves as the publishers and proprietors of the Datly Times, Mr. Lee was not liable for pubtisbing the article in question, even were it con- temptuous. ‘The Court said that Mr. aw havin, bese oe himaelf a party to this proceading, and put in » defence under oth, in not entitied to be served with interroga- tories, bey | made his election to answer without them. As to the second proposition, it would admit of ment, were it not for the fact that a great many courts of record were constituted by a single judge, As to the third point, within the eye of the law Mr. Lee was the publisher of the article, and as such was equally Vable with Raymond and Harper ‘Mr. Busteed went on to argue on the merits of the ease, coutending that no offence had been committed,— tbia being a quasi criminal charge, and that before a convistion could be had, a wilful intent should be shown on the part of the La mops Age! i hae ah ive article, paragrap!

Municipal ana charter elections have been held duriog the present month, in a large number of the cities and towns of New York, Massachusetts, Maine and Vermont, more than two-thirds of which have resulted in the triumphant success of the Know Nothing tickets. The practical influence of the new organization is now be. ginning to be felt with a force that causes the leaders of the old parties to look upon their dilapidated condi- tion with fear and trembling, and to open their eyes upon the true feeling of the country. They have all along been nursing the fallacious idea that the doctrines of the Know Nothings were airy nothings, and could easily bo crushed out; but now they are beginning to find out that those principles are taking root in the hearts of the people, and are likely to be as lasting as the Union itself. The old party hacks begin te study their own insignificance, and to doubt the rotten planks of the platforms upon which they have so long atood and hurled defiance upon the honest feelings of the people, The following table shows the result of the elections lately held in a number of cities for the office of chief pagistrate > fh & wrong had Names of Mi shame, Ee, famesof Mayors Nothing elton Blected Wot! “vote John A.

An election was held on the 9th inst., in the Nineteenth and Twentieth wards, Baltimore, for a mem er of the second branch of the City Council, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of B. F. Zimme:msn, Esq. The contest was a spirited one, both parties manifesting the greatest interest. There ware a ts it many persons congregated about the polls, but the election was con- duetec tn very peaceable and quiet manner.

The most exciting canvass that probably ever was held in the Granite State, is now raging. If a person was compelled to read the journals of only one side of the question, he would be led to believe that a party of the Lord’s annointed had teen brought in conflict with the greatest band of scamps, composed of Hindoos, Thugs, rowdies, drunkards, renegader, libellers, traitors, and enemies of the country generally, that ever graced hta- manity, Asan evidence of the manner in which the canvass {s conducted by the partizan journals of the State, we give below the heads of a number of articles in two of the prominent democratic papera:— [From the Concord Patriot, Administration ] “A Lying Affidavit,” ‘“Hindoo Fanerals,”’ ‘Satan Re- taking Sin,” ‘Edmund Burk’s Horror ef the Concord Clique,” “Mark the Plunderers,”’ ‘“Motealf, the Slave Catcher,’’ “‘Hindoo Treachery,” !Goiog in for the Plun- der,” “Wolves upon the Walk,” “Rum, Drunkenness, and Rowdyiem at the Hindoo Meoting,”’ “Look out for Vote Steaier ‘Despotism of Know Nothingism.’’ [From the Concord Reporter, Anti-adminiatration. “Downfall of Thuggery,” “The Thugs are Doomed,’’ “Pierce Groggeries,'!

Ee According to the census taken last fall, the increase of our population during the preceding year had been a little over 400. At the election last Tuesday over 2,100 votes were polled, an incre: ome 400 since the last election—an increase as great as that of our population. The following is the vot there were two democratic candidates running the free democratic and whig:— Democratic—Hart and Hastings, Free demecratic—Taylcr.... on Mayor last spring, when sides Democratic—Holley Whig—Littlejohn. kn came from that were cast for Mr. Littlejohn. The truth is, that under the stimulant of whiskey and money, the latter of which was sent here from Albany, mainly and liberally distributed by Mr. Littlejohn an his friends, hundreds of illegal votes were polled. TROUBLE AMONG THE 8AG NICHTS OF OH10. The Sag Michts of Columbus, Ohio, are in trouble. Meetings have been held in various parts of the city every night, not even excepting Sunday night. The trouble appears to spring from the difficulty among these recret midnight democratic plotters in making nominations for city officers at the spring election. The Germans, having @ great majority of members, con- tended for an equal share of the offices, which the managers, consisting of office Lolders, defunct office con” and native office seekers, refused to accord to them. A meeting was held in the vicinity of the court house onthe 7th inst. The sheriff of the county presided with as much dignity as though he had been called on to perform the last sad duties of his office upon some poor victim of the law. Deputies were as busy as ift! were after some one with a writ, and a number of would- be didates were busy tickets, for {t appears that the popular vote system was to decide the nominations, Upon counting the votes, it appeared that there were twice as many votes polled as there were members present. AGerman from the Fifth ward had received @ majority of votes for Mayor, and an Irishman had been selected for Mars! The balance of the offices had been equally distributed between Germans and the A perfect uproar was created when the Presi- jounced the result of the balloting. The vote was ordered to be taken over again, and amid questions of order, motions to adjourn, &c., the meet at last, {t impossible to proceed with the business in con. ce of the tumult, adjourned. There are two other icht societies in the city who will nominate their e jates this week, when all the ballots will be counted, A meeting will then be called by the Central Committee, and the nominations ratified, as though it had no con- nection whatever with a secret society.
