We say that now is the time; for the same general argument which will apply to Fremont and Fillmore will apply, with many additional reasons, to the case of Mr. Seward. The demooracy of the North, especially of -New York ‘city—since the disburec- bave become a demoralized, dis , of the party in the South are wandering off after @ sectional and secession Jack-o'lantern: The Fillmore party, it is very extensively. believed, was knocked as flatas a flounder and as dead as door nail in November; but whether Buchanan or Fremont, the German republicans or the Irish Catholics, hit him the hardest blow between the eyes, remains as much a mystery, and yct as much 8 matter of public opinion, as the murder of Dr. Burdell. A few days hence the Louisville American National Courcil will solve the pro- blem whether “Sam” is really dead or still within the reach of galvanism and brandy aad water. In the meantime this very movement of the fragments of the scattered Fillmore party should be enough to provoke the friends of Mr. Seward to action, As set forth in our call, the occa- sion and all the circumstances of the occasion are propitious. New York city, the very headquar- ters of the national democracy, is under a regular siege. On every side we are compassed by the entrenchments and batteries of the late Le gislature. With the hope of thus re ducing this city and its suburbs to a ead the commonwealth would otherwise retain surroundings be revolutionised by the municipal acts of Albany Jawmakers, and the most formi- dable fortress of Mr. Seward’s enemics in the North will be captured. Hence the importance of an immediate organization here, there and everywhere, under the rallying ory of “W. H. Seward against the ficld for 1860.” It is indis- pengable to ‘the early ‘sabjagation of New York city, ‘Tie Washington lobby, still under the manage- ment of Mr. Weed, Mr. 0. B.

Now, railroads, railroad land bills, patent jobs, town lots, lithograph cities, and financial schemes of all kinds, may be turned into samtich j | solid cash in the organization of Mr. Seward’s | | party.

Cannot the hotel keepers attaok the evil which troubles them at the otier end? Can they not try to re- trench their own instead of increasing their cus- tomer’s expenses? We have no hesitation in asying, in the first place, that the style of living offered to the pub lic at the great hotels—the Astor, the Clarendon, the St. Nicholas, the Everett, the Union Place. the Brevoort, &c.—is far more costly than it ought or need to be. There is more gaudy and ex pensive furnitare in the drawing rooms than. any one living cares for. No drawing room in the sbouse of a lady of good taste contains euch arti- cles of furniture at euch: prices as crowd the Indice’ salons of the St. Nicholas and its com- peers, ‘This extravagance achieves no useful purpose; while it adds materially to the annual of the State. It was only when the shoe pinched us in the wrong place that we felt it necessary to cry out. And it was only the one point in the iseues eubmitted to the decision of the Sapreme Court which covered this grievance—namely, the injustice and illegality of the pretension set up by the Legislature to abrogate in our municipal organization the principle of selfgovernment, consecrated as it is by the constitution and by our ancient charters, in which we felt any para- mount interest. Singular to say, the decision of the judicial majority leaves this point untouched, except by implication, whilst it confirms what we never denied. ‘The net value of the judgment of the Supreme Court to the Albany conspirators amounts, therefore, simply to thia. They are permitted to do to us what they never meant to do—namely, all the good they can, whilet their power for mis- chief is effectually checked and restrained sum which the receipts from the house must make good. Suppose the owners of the first class ho- tels were to decide to buy no more gaudy furni- ture, no more glaring brocatelles, no more rose- wood absurdities; would they not go some way toward enabling themselves to keep boarders at $2 50 per day? Again, the style of eating at such great houses as the Everett, the St. Nicholas, the Clarendoa, &c., is quite unnecessarily expensive and waste- fal. Just as the guest from the country avoids the yellow brocatel couch to seek a seat on a lain old fashioned hair bottomed chair, so nine- Oortrentinns of the inmates of our hotels are certain to dine day after day on roast beef or Toast mutton, though there be a bill of fare as long as one’s arm, covered with the names of French delicacies. Three or four gourmands may be seen passing liquorishly from one foreign dish to another ; and for these three or four an exqui- by it.

The Quaran- | regency. Thus, let the city of New York and its | the Londoa system, in which a government and city police force act independently of, but harmo- nioualy with each other. To the city authorities the results of this de- cision are of much greater value. Constractive- ly the jndgment of the majority admits all that they contended for, namely, the powerlesaness of the Legislature to abrogate any of their charter- ed rights, whilst in express terms Judge Roosc- | velt decides that any invasion of those rights is unconstitutional and illegal. We gain, in fact, as thygi'froin the timidity and feebleness of the judiciat majority as we do from the superior le- gal intellect, clear headedness and uprightaess of the dissenting Judge. Thus far, then, the view taken by Mayor Wood and his colleagues of their duty in this crisis has been fully sustained by the law. They have as- | erted no claim and defended no right which they were not legally as well as morally | justified in doing. The lawmakers have | in this instance, as well as in others, proved themeelves the law breakers, and we look to the decision of the Court of Appeals for a fuller and more unequivocal condemnation of their acts. What the result will be of such a decision we need scarcely point out. Albany legislation has already sunk eo low in public opinion that it requires but another, in addition to the many | &e., too valubable to be wastefully thrown away? } deteats it has already sustained in the courts, to set people thinking about a radical change of ‘some sort. In the meanwhile the city authorities have another duty to perform. It is not sufficient that —and the disinclinstion of consumers to submit to *dvocate and the champion of all the parties they should assert their rights, but they must also exercise them. They must put to a legal An immediate Seward organization upon this | test all the powers and functions which the financial basis, with Mr. Weed officially ap- | pointed to manage the big villains at Albany, and Mr. Raymond to cater for the “little villains” of this bailiwick, would be a masterly move- | ment. thousand dollar draft and the Tribune Kansas Greeley would make ® good treasurer for the Central Financial Committce of this proposed general organization for Mr. Seward. The Che- volier Webb has large ideas of money transac- | Hons—-($52,675 ST at a clip)—bat we fear he hae not addicted himself to that nice considera tion of small details which is the peculiar recom- mendation of Greeley. Mr. Wesley, of the Tmes, is entirely too much mixed up with the Jame ducks of Wal! strect to be relied upon as the disbursing and accounting officer of a great party movement.

What his policy will be we cannot tell; but he isan honorable and high minded man, and we have no doubt that his course will receive the impulse and the sanction of the highest authori- ties at Washington. We should not be surprised to find that the principle of rotation was carried out to the fullest extent under the new régimé: and, in looking over the list of persons now offices in the Custom House, we are in- clined to think that it would be a good medicine for the democratic party if nine-tenths of them were turned out, neck and heels, bag and baggage.

Again, none of the great hotels can tell beforehand how many guests they will have at dinner; there may be two hundred or there may be three; and therefore as all the guests must dine together, and it would be impossible to turn away a guest dinnerless, a dinner must be prepared for the larger number. Should the actual eupply of months approximate more closely to the smaller, the overplus of food is lost. Is there no way of caulking this legk ? Two leading /hotels—the Astor House and the Brevoort—hav¢ seemingly discovered a middie eystem—in the shape of a restaurant 3 priz fae. In the ol@ room which was once known as the Astor Exchange, the proprietors of the Astor House have established a restaurant where a man may dine at any price from $10 to 30 cents per head. A rational man who feeds wholesomely and likes a clean cloth, good bread, and civil attendance, can make an admirable dinner there for forty to fifty cents; while the carte appears to offer facilities for pretty exten- sive expenditare, if that be an object. A simi- lar arrangement bas been made at the Brevoort House; indeed, we believe there is no table d’hote there at all. Delmonico, in his old house on the Bowling Green, pursued a similar plaa, to the great satisfaction of his gucsts: you could live there at any price from $1 50 to $25 » day. On the continent of Europe, most of the ho- tels combine the table d’hote with the restaurant. Atacertain hour in the day there is a public dinner at a public table, where you are fed by waiters who bring the dishes round, one by one; for this a'fixed sum—from three to eight francs —ie charged; but you cannot dine at this table unless you give motice in the morning, so as to enable the cook to prepare cnough and not too much food for their guests, Besides this fable @hote, there is an eating house, where you may dine at apy hour in the day, for any price you please, ‘This example is worthy of imitation. We re- commend the proprietors of the St. Nicholas, tbe Everett, the Clarendon, the Union Place, &c., to try it; to follow in the wake of the Astor House, and Brevoort, and adopt a tariff for their rooms, and another for their (able dhole, while provid- ing the guests with a restaurant besides. By this means, a rich man who goes to their house will be enabled to spend his £108 day; while o poor man may live at $1 50 withont disgrace. We do not apprehend any decline in the cost previous to this daring invasion of their autho- rity—a united, obedient and effective body. Let them not hesitate to act with the same decisivn think the machine will work. Raymond is fish- | and firmness in regard to the other jurisdictions assailed by these enactments.

Let them take all the formal steps ne- cessary to the exercise of that right, leaving to resistance. With regard to the powers claimed | by the new Excise Commissioners it is for the trade rather than the city authoritice to test their force. of that question from the shoulders of the Corpo- j tation. To the aseertion that the decision of the Supreme Court will paralyze fora time the } resistance of Mayor Wood and his colleagues to | the usurpations of the Legislature, there is but | one answer to give, namely—a firm and uncom promising performance of all the righta, daties and reepousibilitice devolving upon them under the suthority of our ancient charters.

New Post Ovrice Location.—Sinoe the specu- lators in the old bones under the Brick Church failed in their efforte to sell that property to poor | Picrce’s administration, on account of the legal ¢pinions of Caleb Cushing, we have heard little or nothing as to a location for the new Post Of- | fice until within the last fow days, when we see hy the proceedings of the corporation that an at- tempt is being made to secure the end of the Park for the purpose above named. The idea is us and absurd in the extreme. We have little enough breathing space at the lower | end of the island as it is, and the idca of curtail- ing that little is barbarous, anchristianlike, atro- cious, and its advocates well deserve the garotte for suggesting such a plan.

Prerare vor tux Prsriaxcs.—The hot weather and dirty streeta, combitied with the anarchy brought upon the city by Albany legis- lation of Thurlow Weed and his confreres, should warn our citizens to prepare for the coming of the yellow fever, which is a calamity more to be dreaded than the approach of the comet. We have been threatened with this pestilence for two or three years, and what with a disordered mu- nicipal government, horribly filthy streets and no preventive sanitary measures, our prospects for escape from the fever during the coming summer are anything but cheering. Waste Time —The Councilmen have heen ask- the Central Park act. They had better have given a pocket full of new cents to a junior clerk in some law office, and asked for his opinion.
