We have three days later news from Europe, brought by the steamship Europa, which arrived at Halifax on Wednesday night. The advices are to the forenoon of the 27th ult., but they contain little of importance in a political point of view. It is reported that the French and Austrian Com- missioners to the Zurich Conference had regulated a settlement of the affairs of Lombardy on a basis satisfactory to Sardinia, and that the affairs of tie Duchies are to be treated of directly by the Courts of Paris and Vienna. It was expected that the Conference would concluded its labors early in Sep- tember. Letterafrom Vienna express the apprehension that the difficulties of the Italian question will not be settled at Zurich, and give as report that the fur- loughs granted the Austrian soldiers returning from Italy had been suspended, and that seven out of the twelve Austrian corps d’armées are to be re- tained on a war focting. There is nothing important from France. From Italy we learn that the Council of Ministers at Turin, at which the King of Sardinia presided, had decided that before accepting even provision- ally the Provinces which desire to be annexed to Piedmont, it was proper to consult the allied Pow- ers, particularly France. The news from Great Britain is not of much in- terest. The American trotting horses Jack Rossi- ter, Mountain Boy and Dreadnought, were beaten ina race near! iverpool, by an English horse named Dan. Mr. Ten Broeck’s horse Umpire had wen two more races at Stockton, and was the favorite for the next Derby. At London the money market was casior, and consols on the 26th were quoted at 95} a 954, Americana securities were weak, without change in prices At Liverpool the cotton market, according to the brokers’ circular, was dull without change in prices; | other authorities, however, report a decline of | one-sixteenth to one-eighth of a penny. Bread- stuffs are reported very duil, while provisions ex- | hibited a decided dowaward tendency. Captain Jones, of the bark J. W. Page, from j Morrovia, Liberia, on the 31st of July, has furnish- ed us with a very interesting news report and late in the atreet or avenue on which the house or build- ing for which the sink ts conatructed ehall be located, and that every cesspool shall be removed on the Ist of May, 1860, If not previously connectsd with the sewer. This important paper was referred to the Committee on Ordinances. The Board con- curred with the Aldermen in permitting the Eighth Avenue Railroad Company to lay a tarnout switch in Canal street for the use of the Eighth and Niath Avenue Railroad companies. A meoting of tho citizens of Baltimore, to devise measures for resouing that city from rowdylam, was held yesterday. Resolutions were adopted providing for a committee to call on the Mayor and demand the appointment of reliablo mon as judges at the next election, and the appointment of a spe- cial police force to keep the polls clear. They om- phatically disavow party, and empower a special committee to nominate, irrespective of party, the most respectable and reliable men for tho officers shortly to be elected. During the meoting gangs of rowdies endeavored to etop the proceedings, but they were promptly put down; and at the adjourn- ment a body of deaperadoes took possession of the speakers’ stand, when the police arrested the ring- leaders and marched them off to prison, amid the cheering of the citizens and the waving of handker- chiefs by the ladies. Mr. Alfred Freeman, proprietor of tho Interna- ional Hotel in this city, committed suicide yester- day inthe above mentioned house, by cutting his hroat. He had been ill for a week of slow fover and a nervous attack, whioh doubtless caused abe- ration of mind, and led to the suicide. Anna Gos- bercer, of No. 76 Cannon street, had been afflicted with rheumatiam in one of her feet, and yeaterday took three ounces of laudanum, which put a pe- riod to her existence. An additional panel of petit jurors was sum. moned yesterday in the General Seasions, but no prisoners were tried in consequence of the non-at- tendance of witnesses. Wm. Thompson, a colored man, pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand larce- py, having stolen $250 worth of cloth from the store of Wm. H. Hurlbut, and was sent to the State prison for two years. In the Supreme Court yesterday Judge Ingraham rendered @ decision in the case of John A. Under- wood against the New Haven’ Railroad Company, jn which an application was made to enjoin the company from paying a dividend, recently de- clared, until it shall have been ascertained who are the genuine etockholders entitled to such dividend. The Judge holds that there is no good reason to re- strain the disbursement upon stock now held by persons who owned it prior to 1850 and have not transferred it since that time. The injunction is continued against the other stockholders, and the directors of the company are enjoined from declar- ing any future dividend till the adjudication of some court ehall separate the genuine isaues from the fraudulent ones. The Mozart Hall Democratic Assembly District Convention to select delegates to attend the State Convention at Syracuse was held last evening. A list of the delegates selected may be found in another column. On Sunday evening last, a young man named Fraud Duchamp, of Fort Tompkins, Staten Island, was attacked by a gang of villains while on his way home from the house of the Rev. Mr. Lewis, of Clifton, Staten Island, and severely beaten on the head by a slung shot or bludgeon, besides re- ceiving bruises on his body. He was attended by Dr. Boardman, of Stapleton, Staten Island, and Dr. Mott, of this city. He lingered until Wednes- day last, when he died. No clue to the villains who perpetrated the murder has been discovered. ‘The cotton market was quite steady yesterday, with sales of about 600 a 700 bales, closing on the basis of quotations given in another column. The flour market was somewhat less active, while prices were without change of importance; Southern brands were in fair demand, while prices were without alteration of moment. Wheat was somewhat firmer, especially for good to prime ots of new Kentucky; new white sold at $1 40 $1 50, red State at $114, and new white Canadian, the first of the season, at $127. Corn was steady, with sales of old mixed from store at 80c., and new ditto, with high mixed, at 82c. a 88c. Rye was firm, with sales at 8sc. a B4c. Barley was nominal. A commission house of this city has taken some pains, by correspondence and other means, to obtain in- formation regarding the barley crop, and bas arrived at the conclusion, as far as this State is concerned, that he crop will be nearly an average in quantity and very papers from the west coast of Africa. Smallpox prevailed extensively in Monrovia, anda large pub- lic health meeting had beer held in order to devise moasures to arrest its progress. The Quail,a new war steamer presented by the English government to the republic, had arrived from Plymouth, and the journals ere loud in their protestations of gra- titude to Queen Victoria and Lord Palmerston, con- trasting their liberality with the policy of the Uni- ted States towards their country very unfavorably to ourselves. President Benson immediately went owa visit to the chiefs to the leeward in the Quail. Everything was quiet at Cape Palmas, Indepen- dence Day was celebrated with great éclat, the two wallitary companies in Monrovia turning out in grand style to hear, with other citizens, a fine ora- tion, The English cruisers were taking slave Drizes on the coast. A number of vessels from the United States, as will be seen by our shipping re- port, had arrived at Monrovia, landing many distin- guished African travellers, good cargoes,an iron sugar mill, 2 lot of Bibles, and a number of settlers from our Northern and Southern States. Several native students had distinguished themselves at the late high school examinations. The bark Henry Trowbridge, Captain Frisbie, at New Haven, brings us advices from Barbadoes dated on the 17th of August. Our correspondent writes:—There has been a slight improvement in cornmeal during the last few days, and some sales have been made from store—509 bbls., at $4 75; but any large importations would not realise this figure. Fiour is in light stock, but very dull of sale. Codfish is in supply, and lotting at $4 60, Good mackerel would be saleable. Herrings and alewives are plentiful and dull. White pine lumber is abundant and declining. Dealers are still fairly supplied with shingles. The weather continues showery and gencrally favorable for cultivation. The public heslth is generally good. We have Havaua advices to the 4th instant. Su- gars continued dull. Accounts from Jamaica to the 15th ult. state that reinforcements of troops had been sent for the protection of the northern part of the island from the recurrence of negro riots. Our correspondent at Georgetown, Demarara, writing on the 16th ult.,says:—The growing crops look very fine, owing to the favorable weather with which we have been blest for the last month or six weeks. Business is quite inactive, owing to the old stock of sugar and molasses being exhausted. A half yearly meeting of the British Guiana Bank ‘was held yesterday, when a dividend of the rate of 7 per cent per annum was declared for the half Year ending July 1. The affairs of the bank are in ® very flourishing condition. The balance in favor of the bank is $126,520, The directors have wisely Fesolved that “in the present unsettled state of Enrope, which renders the value of even the best Becurities liable to constant fluctuation, it will be more beneficial to the substantial interests of the Proprietors to strengthen the bank's reserve fund than at this moment to increase the dividend.” The Board of Aldermen met last evening, and transacted considerable routine business, none of it, however, of much generalinterest, 4 report of ‘the proceedings is given in another column, WiThe Board of Councilmen met last evening ang disposed of a large number of routine papers, Mr, Lent presented an ordinance directing that every cesspool hereafter constructed in the city of New York below Thirty-fourth street, from the East to the North, river shall be connected with the sewer superior in quality, Pork was held with firmness, which checked operations; the sales were moderate, including new mess at $14 8734 a $15, and prime at $1025. Beef was dull, while lard was steady. Sugars were steady and active; the sales embraced about 1,000 hhds., 10,000 bags Babia and 2,000 boxes of Havana, at prices given in another column. Coffee was quiet, but firmly held, which tended to check sales. There was rather more doing in freights, which were frm, though without change of mo- ment in quotations, The Republican Party of New York— Their State Ticket and Platform. The State ticket and platform of the republi- can party of New York, for our local Novem- ber campaign, are before our readers. The ticket includes a fair admixture of old line whigs and original Van Buren free soil democrats, and a very liberal allowance of canal men; but the concession of only one can- didate to the anxious stragglers of the Know Nothing faction, but who repudiated the Order before he was adopted, falls far short of their expectations. But even this concession was “not on the slate.” It was an after-thought, forced upon the Convention by the energetic General Nye, who, it also appears, exercised his pecu- liar eloquence with decisive effect against a re- solution complimentary to Governor Morgan. This is the result of the somewhat independent course of the Governor in regard to the Metro- politan Police. It is to be hoped, however, that he will graciously pocket the affront thus administered, and remember next time that to a man in his position all considerations of the public good must be held secondary to the demands of party. This apparent concession to the Americans by Thurlow Weed of the republican candidate for Judge of the Court of Appeals, will not prove satisfactory to Gen. Scroggs, Mr. Ullman and Master Brooks; but they should, like honest Sancho, bid “God bless the giver, nor look the gift horse in the mouth.” It is a wise old maxim, too, that “beggars cannot be choosers.” Nor is Judge Davies the only peace offering vouchsafed to the American brother- hood. They are approached with an- other significant concession in the omis- sion from the republican platform of any recognition of W. H. Seward and his Rochester manifesto. And this remarkable silence in regard to Seward and his abolition programme becomes still more significant in connection with the resolution which opens wide the door of the republican church, as one “to which any sincere opponent of the federal administration attach himself on terms of perfect equali- ’ “without regard to former party divisions or differences.” It is thus apparent that Thur- low Weed « Company are deliberately plan- ning the sacrifice of Seward, or that they are judigiously holding him in the background until (hey shall have taken the soundings of our November election. u this poiat the absoluie silence of the Syracuse assemblage, regarding the State representation in the Republican Presiden- cnyention of 1860, is also worlly of tial NEW YORK HERALD, apecial notice. It leaves ‘all the cloments and agencies of fusion comparatively free to act in behalf of @ general opposition coalition, according to the » contingencies which may arise from all our Northern fall elections, and from the proceedings of the new Congress which is to meot in December, In contrast to this “masterly inactivity,” the des- potic course of the democratic Regency st Albany, in view of the Charteston Convention, is suggestive of anything but a corresponding exercise of caution and prudence, Tho leading features of this Syracuse repub- lican platform are—first, a highly seasoned rehash of the old story of the “slave power,” the “slave oligarchy,” &c.; and second, the denunciation of Mr. Buchanan’s administration, as “marked throughout by a reckless profii- gacy of expenditures,” “and by an entire, wonton and disgraceful abandonment of the great principles of Stale rights and individual freedom” which belong to the American peo- ple. The glove is thus thrown down to the Albany Regency, and we shall see, before the expiration of another week, whether they and their Tammany retainers aro prepared to stand by or abandon the administration upon which they have been fattening for. the last two or three years. _ Upon this issue and the Charleston Con- vention difficulty the union or divison of the democracy at Syracuse will de- pend. If the Regency are led off after Mr. Douglas and his delusive dog- ma of “ popular sovereignty,” in the face of the opposing policy of the administration, and if wo are to have next week a proclamation from the “slate” of Richmond, Cagger, Cassidy & Co., of the New York delegates to Charles- ton, our November election will go by default, and all efforts for a democratic reunion in 1860 will be reduced to the Van Buren programme of 1848. The republican party at Syracuse haye indi- cated a plan of operations for November which will require the largest exercise of the spirit of reconciliation among the democracy. The prospects in this direction, we admit, are gloomy enough; but still it is possible that the desperate necessities of the party may reduce the Regency to reason. By next Friday, at all events, our readers will be able to judge whether the republicans are to be put to their utmost strength or allowed to walk over the course. Tue News rrom Evrorr,—The news by, the Europa confirms the tenor of the advices re- ceived by the Arago, and shows that Italy is making progress in the establishment of con- stitutional order. The Duchies persist in their determination to banish the house of Hapsburg-Lorraine and to be annexed to Sardinia, The government of this kingdom has declined to receive them un- till the other Powers, and particularly France, can be consulted. It is worthy of notice, in connection with this fact, that the London der the leadership of Garibaldi, who, it is asserted, will become the Washington of Italy. No revelations have been made in regard to the proceedings of the Conferences at Zurich, except that they are proceeding satisfactorily and will probably attain an amicable arrange- meat about the Ist of September. REGENERATION OF BaLTIMORE.—Baltimore is experiencing the throes of an effort to rid itself of the rule of the Plug Uglies, Rip-raps, Regu- lators, and other self-organized bands of scoundrels, which have for several years past held sway in its municipal affairs. A call, signed by two thousand names of re- spectable citizens, convened an immense and enthusiastic assemblage of the people last night in Monument square, to organise action for the coming city election. It was attended not only by the law and order men, but the law and order women were also present in large numbers in the balconies and windows of the neighboring houses. An attempt was made by the rascals to break up the meeting, but the excellent police arrangements thwarted their designs, and fifteen of them were arrested and sent to the lock-up. While this operation was going on the people cheered the police lustily, and the ladies wafted them their ap- probation with waving handkerchiefs and other signs of approval. This spontaneous movement proves the ex- istence of a sentiment of public virtue in the hearts of the people of Baltimore, and is one of the best evidences that popular government is the best and strongest of all governments. The meeting has called upon the authorities to see that proper judges of election are ap- Pointed, and that the polls be protected from the lawless and riotous spirit which has for some time made an election in Baltimore a mockery and a cheat. It is to be hoped that the present movement will suffice to obtain the ends for which the meeting has been called. If it does not, Baltimore must resign itself to become the opprobrium of the whole country until a Vigilance Committee be formed, and the citizen soldiery bring the Plug Uglies and their confederates to a practical acquaintance with the persuasive powers of the bayonet and ball cartridge. Gov. Wise os Tx Doveras Mantresto.—The Harpers haying given the liberty to the Rich- mond Enquirer to publish their copyrighted manifesto of Mr. Douglas, we find in said news- paper said manifesto in full. It is introduced, however, with a sweeping commentary from the official mouthpiece of Gov. Wise, concluding with this all sufficient paragraph, to wit:— Mr. Douglas’ essay can be regarded in no other light than as an incendiary document, calculated to produce nothing less than a repetition of the anarchy and blood: shed which hus lately disgraced the soll of our Territories, We publish it only for the purpose of pointing out its er- rors, and of warning the conservative men the whole country against this last and most dangerous phase which anti-slavery agitation has yet assumed. This is a pretty emphatic repudiation, by the most prominent Southern democratic Presiden- tial candidate, of the ultimatum of the especial champion of the “popular sovereignty” North- ern democracy. But, as like causes produce like effects, the idea that “popular sovereignty” will repeat in other Territories the “anarchy and bloodshed” of Kansas, is a logical concln- sion. The main point, however, in the issue thus raised by Goy. Wise, is the “irrepressible conflict” between Douglas and the South in reference to the Charleston Convention. If the “Little Giant” of the West is to ride his hobby in 1860, he must ride it exclusively on the north side of Mason & Dixon’s line. “Coming events cast the hadows befor his, in a new shope, is the shadow o Buyen.

Is and the Two Regencies— Bankruptey of the Empire State. In anothor pago we publish a controversy between the ‘two organs of the two Albany Regencies, each most successiully showing how the opposite faction has misman aged the canals, plundered the people, and plunged State intodebt and bankruptcy. “It isa victryquar rel as it atands,” and remind , 50. ‘he olu adage, that “when rogues fall out, honest peo- ple come by the truth,” if they do not always sueceeg in getting back their own. The “Grand Canal,” measuring 363 miles, and uniting Lake Erie, at Buffalo, with the Hudson at Albany, and by that river communicating with the Atlantic ocean at New York, was re- gardedas one of the greatestachiovements of the age when It waa set on foot by De Witt Clin- ton. It has ever since proved as much a source of plunder to the politicans as 9 benefit to the State. It has served them constantly for an election issue and for election machinery, and its spoils have filled their empty pockets with “rocks,” not only the legitimate spoils, but the peculation and the public frauds connected with the Erie Canal and its branches. The Consequence ia that the canals have been sadly mismanaged, worse than even the Erie Rail* road, and so far: from’paying even the interest of the cost of their construction, they have saddled the State with a debt of forty millions, which lies ag an incubus upon it, and which must be got rid of either by taxation or the sale of the canals, or by both. As for the plan of borrowing more money to pay the interest, and thus creating compound in- -terest, so far from that disposing of the debt, it would double it in a few years. The Evening Journal, the organ of the quon- dam whig (now black republican) Regency, and the Argus, the organ of the democratic Re- gency, who have both fattened on the plunder and corruption of the canals, now repudiate the policy which entailed so heavy a debi on the people, like a pair of rats running from a falling house or deserting 9 sinking ship in which they long found excellent fare. When Clinton started the canals, und was sup- ported by the whigs, the democracy opposed the measure at first; but, finding it popular, afterwards adopted it, and when they got into power carried it out as zealously as if they had been its originators, Then the whigs succeed- ed to power on the question of the enlarge- mont of the canals, which the democrats resist- ed in the beginning, but afterwards took very kindly to, and turned to good practical ac- count for themselves. The revenues, however, were insufficient to pay for the enlargement, and the whigs proposed to borrow money, ostensibly for this purpose, the real object, however, not being the improvement of the canals, but to have the handling of vast sums of money, which might be used for elections and other political purposes. The democrats, when out, opposed the borrowing policy, and advocated the doctrine of “pay as you go;” but when they got into power, they adoptcd the policy of their political antagonists. Be- tween them a debt of some forty millions of dollars has been placed on the back of the people. and though both participated so large- ly in this plunder, both are very anxious to shirk the responsibility of having incurred the debt. The Argus-Allas shows by a table of figures that if the whig borrowing plan had not been adopted the whole liability would have been cleared off by this time, except about $35,000, The Journal retorts by showing that the demo- crats ouldid the whigs im their advocacy of bor- rowing, and that they are the real authors of the orty million debt. From the yoar 1836 to 1858, both inclusive, the net proceeds of the canals, after deducting all expenses, amounted to nearly forty millions, which ought to have paid off the same amount of debt, now due. In- stead of that, the forty millions of net earnings of the canals have been squandered, and the debt is left unpaid, and to acewmulate by com- pound interest in eighteen years to one hun dred millions, unless the Legislature adopts some speedy means of extinguishing it. In 1886 the old debt had all been paid except $2,700,000; but new liabilities were incurred, and money was borrowed to pay the interest, the proceeds of the canals failing to pay even the interest, much less the principal of the constantly accumulating debt. The rapid growth of railroads since the canals were constructed has diminished their business. In the year 1853 the net proceeds were $2,063,713; in the year 1858 only $993,- 325—not quite a million, or less than half the proceeds of 1853, We observe that some of the papers caleu- late that this year the receipts will be tremen- dous. But if we take the third week of the month that has just gone by as a crit on, or if we compare the whole of that part of the present year which has elapsed with the same period during th t twelve years, it will be found that the business is continuing steadily Biai lo Aug. %. | It will thus be seen that from 1847 there is a ecrease of $274,651. Yet our quadrilateral contemporary says:—“All prospects indicate to fall off, and that in the present year it will be lower than it has been yet:— 2d Week in Aug . $101,619 1 i falling off of $1,243,326, and even from 1857, i which the revenue was lowest, there is a i rong increase in 1869 upon the tonnage of 858.” | Much is expected from the completion of the fnlargement, which will cost from $3,000,000 jo $5,000,000. But where is the money to come lrom? Much also is expected from the appli- gation of steam to canal navigation, which about to be carried into effect; but it is as et only an experiment, and may not suit. Even, however, if it should prove completely successful, itis very questionable whether it can bring up the business to the highest point of former years. It is proposed to sell the canals, and no doubt thereby hangs a tale of one of the most gigantic jobs that was ever consummated in this State. There is one little difficulty in the way, namely, the State constitution, which forbids their sale; but the constitution has also forbidden that any debts on account of the canals, beyond those already created, should ever exceed one million of dollars; yet last year a million and a half of dollars was bor- rowed on (he credit of the Sinking Fund to pay the Intevost, which was already pladg.°4 by the constitution; and fn the present year ,'t was proposed and carried in the Legislature to Q°2- tinue the same uxiconstitutional, foolish ¢ourse, which was vetoed by the Governor. So that none need wonder if a bill should be pagsedt in the next Legislature to sell the canals, There is only one constitutional way of meeting the debt and the diMeulty, and that is by laying on a tax to pay the interest, instead of borrowing money for the purpose, like the rotten, swindling railroad concerns. The constitution sets apart from the revenues of the canals, after paying the expenses, the sum of $1,700,000 to pay the interest and redeem tho principal of the old canal debt ($12,000,000) which existed in 1846, and it de- claves that “the principal and interest of said fund shall be sacredly applied to that pur- pose.” Now, last year the whole proceeds only amounted to $993,525, about half the amount due to the “sacred” fund. How, then, is the interest on the new debt of twelve millions more to be met? By taxation alone—the only method to save the State from the disgrace of. repudiation, though not from bankruptcy. The great Empire State of New York is at this mo- ment bankrupt, being either unable or unwill- ing'to pay the interest on her debt. Such is the condition to which the credit of the State has been brought by the rival factions of the Regencies. Tue Scuvyten Fraups mw Courr Agatn.—We print in another column an abstract of an opin- ion delivered by Judge Ingraham, in the Su- preme Court yesterday, on the application of certain stockholders of the New Haven Railroad for an injunction to restrain the directors from paying dividends until it is decided what stock is genuine and what may be the spurious issue of Schuyler. The Judge decides that all the stock issued previous to 1850 may be consider- ed genuine, and that the holders thereof may receive dividends; but upon all the stock issued since that time the directors are enjoin- ed from paying any dividend until some court of competent jurisdiction shall declare what portion of it is genuine and what is not. It is yery doubtful whether any authority can be found competent for that difficult task. The Schuyler frauds were not discovered to the public until 1854,3 0 that all the stock issued for four years, according to this decision, will have to be pronounced upon, and the sheep divided from the goats, before the holders of genuine stock can receive a dividend ofa dol- Jar upon it. Tue Pores Movements oF THE Day.— The ingenious combinations of the republicans at Syracuse upon candidates and principles for a fusion of all the odds and ends of the op- position eléments of this State in November, form a splendid specimen of political mosaic— here a bit of klagk stone, there a bit of white, and next a bit of blue, and then a bit of green— which will excite the admiration of all politi- cal jugglers. But this beautiful job of science, tact and taste, is surpassed by the New Jersey coalition, where the republicans in their fusion movement have completely out-generalled the faction of the American party known from their long legs as the Shanghaes. The élite of the American camp, including Governor Newell, having thus been drawn into “a happy accord,” the Shanghues, we appre- hend, will have to come down. A protective tariff, strangely overlooked at Syracuse, thus appears to have been the bond of peace at Trenton, in addition to the dropping of the re- publican platform on the “slave oligarchy” and the “slave power.” The tariff is thus like- wise made to override the slavery issue in Pennsylvania in the fusion movement there; but when the subject shall come before the National Republican Convention of 1860, be- tween the tariff and the “slave power” there will be © most delicate and difficult piece of work to do, for New Jersey and Pennsylvania cannot be spared. Thus it will be seen thai the present opera- tions of the republican party, here and else- where, are limited to local purposes; and that in this State, that State and the other, they are fighting their local battles according to their local necessities. On the other hand, the de- mocracy here, there and everywhere, will hear of nothing and see nothing but the Charleston Convention. Thus, while the Albany Regency are packing a delegation to Charleston, while Douglas is electioneering for himself on the stump in Ohio, the democracy of the South are distracted with their slavery issues for the Charleston Convention, At thisrate the demo- eratic cliques and factions will have devoured each other, like the Kilkenny cats, before the opposition enter the field. Such are the con- sequences of the folly of ambitious democratic leaders and rivals in abandoning the safe an- chorage of asieady administration, to fight and squabble among themselves a year before the time for the spoils and plunder of the succes- sion. Mr. Toomss or Groreia.—This gentleman has recently made a very remarkable speech in Georgia, in which he hasabandoned the fire- eaters and gone back again to the most mode- rate faction of the Southern democracy. He has even gone so far as to throw outa feeler or two in favor of Mr, Douglas, But the explana- tion, we suspect, is very simple. Douglas will never touch bottom in Georgia, but Mr. Toombs is, perhaps, opposed to the aspirations of Mr. Secretary Cobb as a Georgia candidate for the Charleston nomination. Senator Doveras anp wis Powrricar, Ma- ny.—Few persons have any just compre- sion of the expensive and complicated ma- chinery which prominent politicians of the pre- sent day invent and work to aid them in their ambitious schemes. In this respect, however, Senator Douglas is ahead of all competitors. He maintains newspapers in Chicago, Wash- ington end Philadelphia, whose principal busi- | ness is to print all his speeches and sound his praises; and he has been even extending his operations in that line to New York. He keeps a burean of clerks in Washington to flood the whole country with pamphlet copies of his speeché in the Senate. ‘There are few localt- ties in any State in the Union in which there are not to be found knots of his partisans striving to operate on public sentiment in a manner favorable 1o his Presidential aspi- vations. Not depending on these varied arrangements, what else do we see him do} We find him making use of a literary magazine, with a re- puted large civenlation, to get before a portion of the public his views on squatier sovercign- ty, condensed from his speeches in the Senate chamber aud on the gtump.

Tae Far-Meurma Nutsances.—At the lams meeting of the Commissioners of Health thee City Inspector complained that the fat-melting:. establishments on Thirty-ninth street, in the. neighborhood of the, North river, were a nui~ sance to the parties resident there, and the: Board ordered, 2s a remedy, that the proprie- ‘tors should erect their chimnies forty feet high: Why not have them removed altogether? Nei~ ther piggeries, nor fat-melting houses, nor bone boiling establishments, should be permitted) within the. city limits. One is just.as bad as another; indeed, the fat-melting concerns are the. most abominable nuisance of the three, and neither health nor comfort can exist in the same locality with them. Mr. Delavanhas ri- gorously driven out all the piggeries from the city, and he should be aided by every means to keep them out, and to send these other nui- sances after them. High chimnies, it is true, may lessen the annoyance, by keeping the hor- rible effluvia a little above our noses; but this is not enough; all such establishments should be compelled to carry on their operations out- side of the city; and we trust that the Board of Health will enable the City Inspector to abo- lish them.
