The health of General Paez continues to improve rapidly, and bis friends are now confident that he will be able to leave the city during vext week. He was well enough yesterday to see a number of citi- gens who called to inquire after his health. A morning journal, noted for its wilful misrepre- sentation of Judge Russell's official action, erro- neously stated that oflicer Baker, from whom Dr. Gaillardet escaped, was appointed by the City Judge. It appears that when the officers were be- ing selected for the Court of Sessions, Mr. Ba- ker was recommended by Alderman McSpedon, and Judge Russell had never seen Baker until he came to his office to be sworn in. The officer's appoint- ment was made in writing by the Recorder and the City Judge, and the papers were filed in the Comp- troller’s office. It is the intention of the City Judge to remove Mr. Baker, but the removal cannot be efiected outside ot the Court unless by the joint ac- tion of the two Judges. The two murderers, James McCormick and Thos. Mulroe, who were sentenced to be hung at Haverstraw on the 16th of December next, for murder, and who escaped from the Rockland coun- ty jail some two weeks since, have been recaptar- ed near Newcastle, Westchester county, and taken back to the Rockland county jail. The sentence of the law will be executed on the above day, in the yard of the Court House at Haverstraw, in Rock- land county. Letters received from England state that the tele- graph cable for the Australian and Tasmanian line is finished, and was to have been shipped from Liv erpool on the lvth of November. The Haghes Printing instruments lad been tried on this cable with the most complete success, and are to be ex clusively used upon it. The cable is to be laid by Mr. Wm. H. Butcher, a young and talented Ameri can, whe is well known in connection with tele graphic enterprises in Australia. According to the report of the City Inspector there were 583 deaths in the city during the past week—an increase of 32 as compared with the mor- tality of the week previons, and 22 more than oc- curred during the corresponding week in last year. Of the total number 196 were of ten years of age and under. and 44 inmates of the public institutions: ‘The following table shows the number of deaths for the past two weeks among adults and children, ~distioguishing the sexes:— Men.

No sea transportation is requisite—no custom houses are required to give clearances— no Commodore Paulding can cut off their line of march, or blockade them into a surrender. # class, the filibuster leaders are an intelligent, active and persevering set of men. Even when combatting sit the disadvantages involved in carrying their enterprises beyond the sea, they have given every administration a vast deat of trouble; and though some of their expeditions hare been broken up, others have escaped the meshes of the law, and foiled the exertions of the authorities. In directing their views te wards Mexico, the advantages are all on their side and against the government. An imaginary Tine or a shallow river stops the federal officers, bat is no impediment to them.

It is evident that the expedition of Walker is broken up, and that, for the present at least, the filibuster schemes against Nicaragua are ended. But evident as this fact is, it is just a+ palpable that the spirit of filibusterism is as rife as ever, and that, in view of the decline of Walker as a leader, other active and enterprising men are stepping upon the field of operations, and pre- paring to take their chances for fame and fortune n “extending the area of freedom.” It is only a few weeks since that we announced that» ex- pedition was being prepared in Califo. via to operate against Peaqueira, the Governor of Sono- ra and murderer of Crabbe and his associates, We have some reason to suppose that this move- ment has been got up to co-operate with Gen. Gandara, who has recently pronounced against Gov. Pesqueira, and that it will go into Sonora on an invitation from him. In addition to this California scheme, we now learn from New Or- leans that Col. Seguin, of Texas, has been author- ized by the Governor of the State of Nuevo Leon to raise « regiment of troops to aid the cause of the liberals in Mexico. That such a movement will find both men and money there can be no doubt. Filibusterism is far from being dead, and it is even a question whether the overthrow of Walker has not given it a new impulse. Mexico, the «sick man” of America, is the new theatre of its operations. The carrying of its enterprise to Nicaragna has generally been looked upon by the old filibusters as an error, and the deyelope- ment given to it there by Walker was such as never met their approbation. They refrained from participating in it, for they had no sympa- thy with the war of conquest which Walker pro- claimed. When some of the minor satellites, such as Lockridge, that had revolved round Walker, made an attempt to connect themselves with Mexican affairs, they not only received no encouragement from that quarter, but even the leading filibuster spirits of Texas would have nothing to do with them. These had long since had an organization of their own, and had ten- dered to Governor Vidaurri their services when- ever they should be required to sustain the libe- ral principles which he maintained. He assured therm that ifs time of need came he would call upon them; and this is the call which we sup- pose has been made. They are noi desperate adventurers, foreed by necessity to become food for powder, and if they conduct themselves with In this state of affairs it behooves our govern- As new Houstons, new Lamars,and new Commodore Moores. The soil is good, and the race is prolific of such men. The constant reprodustion of these enterprises, which the government regularly proclaims as unlawful, and the moral sense of Europe igno- to be, they should be stopped, and could be stopped; for there is nothing more antagonistic to the universal sentiment of the American people than piracy. But if it should be found that they have higher and nobler springs of life—that if properly controlled and: guided they would be productive of great goed to the whole world then it is the duty of the government to see that they are so guided and controlled that they do not lapee into the hands of inferior and in- capable men. From the earliest history of these enterprises it is found that their impulse eprings from sympathy with the free aspirations of the people south of us; that they came into existence with the struggles for South American indepen- dence; and that their existence has been pro- longed by the intrigues of European Powers to re-establish Enropean ideas of government on this continent. At first they obeyed the univer- sally admitted law of nations, whieh recognises the right of noutrals to permit their citizens to take service with foreign belligerents, provided the right of seeking assistance was equally ex- tended to both parties. But in the South American stmggles our citi- zens had no sympathies for Spain, and though money and ships and men volunteered in abun- dance for Mexico and Colorabia, none volun- teered to sustain the Spanish flag. Then it was that our government—acting, as Mr. Clay justly said, when opposing the act of 1818, under the dictation of the European Powers--paseed the amendments to the neutrality laws, which made them more stringent than those of any other na- tion. The legislation of the country was stulti- fied when it was made a misdemeanor, punishable with fine and imprisonment, for a citizen to exer- cise in this country a commission to serve a fo- reign State, or to prooure others so to serve. The common sense of the people was outraged when the same penalties were enacted against any citi- zen fitting out a ship to be employed in the ser- vice of a foreign belligerent. These are things which no writer on international law had con- demned, and they are to be found asa common practice in the history of nations. Whee @is act was fond to be operative only for perpetuating Co onies, and still ater «r opposing Europeso echemes among them, the sense of justice and right rebelled, and the people not only count nanced the infraction of the law, but no jury bas yet been found that would bring in a verdict of guilty ander it. There is yet another cause @or the existence of the filibuster spirlt among us, and one which con- tributes in no mall degree to its perpstuation. Acting under th» same policy of subservience to the European Pov ers, the government has ne- glected its mani est duty towards the Spanish- American republ'c:, It hasfor many years ex- hibited no sympathy in ‘heir efforts to 2stablish permanent institutions. It has taken ne interest in their domestic affairs, while the intrigues of the European representatives have been castant- ly employed in favor of absolutism and the sub- jection of the people. Mexico is a case i: poin There the name of Poinsett, who was the Ameri- can Minister during Jackson's administraion, is still appealed to with reverence and affection by the liberals of every school. Hix couasels in the construction of their first federal constilu- tion, and his efforts in favor of popular liberty, are remembered contidingly; and hadhis Jackso- uian policy been sustained by subsequent admin- istrations, the American influence would not have waned as it has, and an American Minister would not have been driven with insult from the country, as has just now been the cas. These are the causes which are giving life to the filibuster spirit, and rendering nugulory all the efforts of the government {to repress it. If the administration would avoid all the trouble which itis yet destined to experience from the filibusters, let it purge from the law those ex- treme penalties which make it conflicting with the lew of nations and repugnant to the com- mon sense of the people: and, above all, let it adopt a policy of action in these Sparish-Ame- rican questions, and do its duties towards them. So long as it neglects these, the people will en- deavor to fill the place which it should occupy. and in the absence of national efforts ix favor of the establishment of good governments there, we shall have private expeditions for that purpose. ‘The Indiana Scnatorship—A Curtously Com- plicated Case. : One of the most interesting questiens that has ever arisen in the history of this government between Congress and a sovereign State. is that growing out of the Indiana Senatorship; and as it will necessarily give rise to protracted discus- sions at the approaching session, we propose to give a grouping of the priacipal facts in it, that the question may be thoroughly understood by the public. The clause in the constitution of the United States having reference to the composition of Congress reads as follows:— The times, places and manner of holding clectionsfor Senators and Repregentatives shal! be prescribed in ech State by the Legisiatare thereof; but Congress may atany hime, by Isw, make or alter such regulations, except 1s to the placo of choosing Senators. Almost all of the States have made proysion in their respective constitutions for the election of Senators to the United States Senate. Insome of them—as in New York, for instance—tle two houses vote separately; the action of oneis sent to the other, and a concurrent vote of than both in favor of the same candidate is necessary to an election. In other States both houses, imtead of acting separately, meet in joint convertion and ballot or yote as one body. In Indiasa, how- ever, the constitution does not prescribe the par- ticular mode of electing Senators, nor did the Legislature make any regulations on the sujject, as it was authorized to do. The seat of Senator Pettit became vacan, by the expiration of his term, in 1855, and tlat of his colleague, Senator Bright, became vacmt in like manner in 1857. Owing to the divisin of parties in Indiana following the agitation m the Kansas-Nebraska bill, the Legislature faibd in 1855 to elect a successor to Mr. Pettit; and us its sessions are biennial, it had no further chame of doing so until 1857, and then it had also toclect asuccessor to Mr. Bright. At that time this state of things existed:—The House of Repre- sentatives of Indians had a democratic majcrity; the Senate a republican majority. The farmer consiets of one hundred membere, and the latter of fifty. In each house it requires two-thirds to constitute a quorum. Less than that mumber can do no business, except to adjourn fron day today. Itdoes not appear that any steps were taken by the General Assembly of Indima to fill the vacancies in the United States benate previous to the 12th of Jannary, 1857, Can- cusses and informal meet on the subject may have been held, but nothing @ an official or definite character had taken place. it happened that on that day both house had met together to witness the opening and publica- tion of the retarns of the election for Gorernor and Lieutenant Governor, in pursuance «f the following clause of the State constitution: — The returns of every election for Governor and Licute nant Governor shall be sealed up and trancmitted jo the seat of government, directed to the Spoaker of the House of Representatives, whe shaf open aad poblish them in the preronce of both houses of the General Assembir. The mecting of both houses on this occasion was a mere formal ceremonial, in compfance with that requisement of the constitution. No sooner was the ceremony completed thas up started a Senator, who, without any motion, and without any authority on his part to hear and de- cide a motion, declared “this Conventioa ad- journed to the 24 of February, 1857, o& two o'clock.” This springing of the political mine gave the Senate the alarm. Tho object of calling te neet- ing a “Convention,” and declaring it adjourned to « day certain, was obvious. The whole thing ap- peared to the republican majority in the Smate as an ingenious contrivance. concocted between the democratic minority in their body and the democratic majority in the Houe of Representatives, to elect certain persom to the Senate of the United States Ani so the Senate of Indiana adopted a rewlu- tion, on the 29th day of January, 1857, and had it entered on its journal, protesting against the proceedings of the so-called Convention, dis- claiming all connection with it, and protesting against any clection of United States Senators or other officers by it. But the Convention mot, neverthcles#, on the day fixed, and the President of the Senate, with a minority of that body, took part in ite proceedings. Nothing was done then but to declare the body adjourned till the 4th of February following. On that day the same thing ocourred. The President of the Senate, (who is tHe Lieutenant Governor of the State, as in New York), went, with twenty-four of its mem- hers, to the hall of the House of Representatives, and there a vote was had for two Senators of the United States, which resulted in the electton of Graham N. Fitch and Jesse D. Bright, each hav- ing received eighty-three votes, of which twenty- three were given by members of the Senate, The Gorervor, who was democratic, gave these gentlemen cc rtifieates of their election, and un- | dir these credentials they took their seats in the Senate of he United States in 1857, the session | before last, Prote te a: ainst adm'tting these men to seats in the Senate of the Unite.) States were presented to that body ai the time. These protests were sigaed by twenty-seven menbers of the Senate of Indiana (more than a major'ly), and by thirty- five members of the House of iepresentatives (less than a majority); and it was asked that the question of their right should be decided before the adjournment of the Legislature. ‘Fhe ques- tion, however, was not decided that sersion, nor until the closing hours of the lust session, when it was decided by a vote of the Senate of the United States that Messrs. Fitch aud Bright were entitled to their seats, To all appearances that closed the question. Tt haa not done so, however. The new Legisia- ture of Indiana, which has just commenced its session, has re-opened the matter. The Senate, on Wednesday last, by a vote of 26 to 22, and the House of Representatives, on Friday, by a vote of 51 to 45, adopted a resolution declaring the election of Messrs. Bright and Fitch itegal, unconstitutional and void. If that be not enough to bring up the matter again in the United States Senate, it will probably be followed up by the Indiana General Assembly proceeding to elect two United States Senators to fill the vacancies which, according to their action, now exist in the Senate of the United States; aud the whole question must be re-opened on the appli- cation of the persons so to be elected to be admitted to their seats, We content ourselves with simply rehearsing the admitted facts in this curious political epi- sode, leaving our readers to make up their own judgment as to the right by whieh Mesars, Vitch and Bright now hold their seats in the Senate of the United States. The case presents exeved- ingly nice points on the question of the relations between Congress and States, and will constitute an important feature in the proceedings of the Senate at the approaching session. JurrERson Davis Aproap vs. JerreRson Da- vis at Home-—During the late travels of the Hfon. Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, Away, down in Maine, he exhibited himself, in his public specehes, in the attractive character of a conservative Union statesman. In fact, his political opinions and views, as set forth to the Down Easters, differed as widely from the antecedents of the same gen- tieman in the South as does+a Puritan thanks giving from a Mississippi barbecue. ur read- ers will recollect how gratefully we hailed the accession of this extraordinary man into the conservative Union camp. But Gen. Davis has returned to Mississippi, and, finding that all over the South the fire-eaters had been hauling him over the coals for his Northery aberrations, he casts aside his travelling Quaker hat and shad bellied coat, pnts on his regimentals, and die courses, in his old strain, of Southern. rights, Southern wrongs, secession, civil war, artillery, and small arms, and of “Mississippi's best and bravest.” “on the perilous ridge of battle,” ga- thering to “the harvest home of death.” But donot imagine, O! innocent reader, that there is any real danger in the speech of the renowned Southern leader. Nothing of the sort is intended. General Davis is a politician, and, like all other politicians, he adapts his music to the peculiar proclivities here and there of his audience, “Orator Puff had two tones: to. his voice,” and every aspiring politician in. these days has two or three, to suit the different lati- tudes, climates, productions and institutions of this extensive country. Like a player upon the stage, General Davis, when “ Down East,” spoke to the house; but down South he is speaking “aside,”’ to his confidential friends, of something which is not in the play, when he talks of seces sion, cannon foundries and musket factories. Apart from this seasoning of Southern ultra pepper and salt, the Mississippi specch of General Davis is found exeeedingly interesting, espe- cially his treatment of Mr. Seward’s Reehes- ter manifesto, his views of Mr. Buchanan's ad- ministration, and his opinions of Mr. Douglas, between whom and the Mississippi Senator there is a very significant disagreement upon the subject of slavery in the Torritories. As another bid from a Presidential aspirant for the succession, this spoech indicates the drift of the wind ia the South; and in preferring the general policy of the administration to the ephemeral. crotchets of Mr. Douglas, General Davis, we apprehend, has completely outgene- ralled his Southern competitors, who have be- trayed their readiness to desert the Provident for the doubtful fortunes of the Illinois demagogue. Wo ane vie Caxproares vor Ter CHarrer Exectron !-The voters of this city have already been informed, through our columns, how many of the candidates for city offices at the election of Tuesday next pay direct taxes tothe public treasury; but as it may be proper for them also to know the position and oceupation of the dif ferent candidates for whom they are to vote, we have endeavored to supply that information to- day by publishing the list again, with the occu- pation of each individual annexed, as far as we have been able to do so from the Directory. The candidates can be thus identified, so thet people may know what John Smith or Tom Brown it is who is ambitious of a seat in the Corporation or the Board of Education, and whether the said Smith aad Brown have respeetable eceupations, or any occupations at all, or local habitations in the community.

If there be any errors in it, candidates can have them corrected by furnishing us with the neces- sary information. devon Cavrrenn avy tan WaLker Freie rens.— Judge Cagpbell, of the Supreme Court of the United States, it appears, has given mor- tal offence to the Walker filibusters at Mobile from his culpable failure te sympathize and. co- operate with them in bis official capacity. Thus he is substantially reminded by the Mobile Re- gister that the Southern ultras secured his ap- pointment a# a Supreme Judge because of his Southern ultra principles; that his partixans ex- pected his co-operation in behalf of this Walker filibustering expedition, and are disgusted at bis perfidy. This is certainly a most shocking eon- struction of the duties of a Judge of the Supreme Court; but we are gratified to know that Judge Campbell thorqughly comprehends the bounda- rises which divide his official obligations from his personal predilections aa a partisan. If his good example could only be reduced into general practice among all classes of our Judges and offi- cers of the law, we should soon have a sensitie diminution in the number of all classes of our rogues and rascals, and a largely increased por centage of honest men in every walk of life, ites eesenstneeeeseeeseerentsnesssessa=nesness seen itensnensneneeeiniaintisibinsinissnein! nish deretenee the deepotian of Spa‘n over her South Anverican | Ma.
