In fact, our Democratic State Governor dropped down in our Republican Federal Executive, bitting hard and viciously, as you will see from the extract, and be concluded in these words If the Federal Government does not try to aceompl , s'i early return to the uso of gold and silver, without spreading ruin among the people, it fails in its duty; if with its abundant revenue i .Ic_ vise a method of doing so, it fails in NI i etom."

There is a report that Mr. Bowen, of the Inde pendent, has purchased the Brooklyn Union, a Re publican daily, and that a Democratic ring has bough t the Brooklyn Eagle, the latter selling for $300,000 and the former for $200,000 ; but a rumour at one tune spread that both papers had been bought up by the Mr. George Wilkes, of the Spirit of the inzeg, applied to Justice Dowling for the arrest of Messrs. Bruce and Simpson ' proprietors of the '1 urf, Field, and Farm, wherein he asserted a libel had been published on his S. Louis correspondent. After some demur the order was given, and Mr. Bruce appeared on Thursday at the Tombs and tendered bail for $l,OOO. Failures continue. Hugh N. Camp and Co., sugar refiners, have.suspended for a large sum, but there is much confidence felt in the probity cf the partners, with whom, public sympathy goes. ' The heavy fall in gold, together with the decline in sugars, combined to bring about the catastrophe. Messrs. Clark and IVest, an old dry-goocis firm, have also succumbed. A trial for false imprisonment may arise out of the unfortunate mistake by which Mr. M. IL S. Hill, cashier of the Farmer's and Drover's Bank, Westchester County, was confined, in default of bail, under the charge of appropriating from the bank $40,000. Recent .disclosures connected with Mr. Oakley, cashier of the Merchants' Bank, now induce the belief that he was the defaulter, whereon Mr. Hill was liberated, and threatens the Bank managers with an action for damages. The Club affair be tween Mr. Bateman and Mr. Hiram Cranston it :was at first feared might lead to serious results, the danger has been averted through the agency Of friends - . (tae-of Mr. Datemaa"..s. guests at the dinner Mr. Cranston intercepted, was a Tribune man, and the other General Butler's nephew; Mr. Bateman is well known in theatrical circles. New Year's-day broke flue, but closed with a violent storm. • It rained all Sunday and helped to damp the spiriti already depressed by New Year's-day excesses. Although the list is considerable of crimes and casualties, the day was not observed to the ex tent usual in New York. It was hoped that callers would get nothing to drink ; but the old Knicker bocker custom is not so easily alrogated, as it in volves the reproach of inhospitality. Fisk received in great state at the Opera House and had plenty of visitors. That worthy is about to erect a $1,250 monument over the grave of Polly Albro, of -Pownal, to whose tender care in childhood New York owes the vigorous manhood of that railway king. I learn also that his Majesty's father lives with his half-brother, Frank Alger, at Maple Grove Village, South Adams, Massachusetts. Among those who had a jolly time on New Year's-day may. be enumerated the prisoners in the Egyptian Tombs, to the number of some 300, who had to listen to addresses from clergymen of different denomina tions. They had to be fortified though with a good dinner first. The work on the Post-office is to be continued, as the sub-committee recommend the additional $1,000,000 required, and the news interests the large number of labourers thrown out of employment when the work suddenly ceased. It is not the fault of the peculators that it did not stop before, and the committee have been picking up some information as to the direction taken by the money. Reports are rife about the Spanish gunboats and Cuban affairs. The gunboats have been going off and coming in ; blown here and moored there ; suspicious crafts have been looking after them, and one of them has just finished by running into a Barbadoes schooner, which is badly damaged, though No. 18 remained uninjured. If the account of Admiral Poor be true there are only 14,000 Spanish troops in Cuba, but they, if the Junta is to be believed, do no end of hanging and shooting, and swear that they may be conquered, but shall never be sold. They may, however, be drowned in Cuban blood, for they really seem to be a ferocious banditti, and their's I feel assured is no idle threat, that if driven from the island they will leave it a mass of smok ing ruins. I can only hope they will have no op portunity of leaving, but may add something to the Cuban ashes. The steamer Annie put into Charleston, but orders have been sent to capture her, and the Junta are in dread that she may be taken like the Hornet before she gets away. Mr. Beecher has male a good thing out of the late sale of the reserved seats in Plymouth Church, when he took good care to be pre,,eat, in or ler to judge by the bids how each supporter appreciated him. Mr. Bowen, of the Independent, took a $490 adver- tisement for his paper, securing a conspicuous placo, and Mr. Clafliu w3ut in for $lB5 for his dry.- goods business. But the bast was carried off by Mr. Gage at $615 premium, that is, this sum was paid beyond the regular rent. Of course no spirited auction would be perfect without James Fisk, jun., who invested in a pew on his own behalf, and the sum altogether ran beyond the highest ever before reached. The organization has been com pleted of the brokers' detectives, to be present at business, for the investigation of fraudulent bonds and stocks, and to look after the hall ways, and the lobbying done by the light-fingered gentry and swell-mobsmen, who are excellent lobbyists, but ton-holing a man and empyting his pockets while he is trying to remember who he is talking to ; leaving him in a dilemma until he puts his hands into his pockets in despair when he finds out. Go vernor Hoffman's Message is the subject most discussed, and it is quite touching to listen to his virtuous sentiments. We have 11,698 schools in this State, but how many prisons and prisoners I know not, neither do I know whence all the rascals come, perhaps your people in Europe do ; but this I do know, that they swarm, settling like a black myriad of flies over anything like plunder. Our State debt of $34,848,000 is to be paid off iu eight years, and the sentiments on the payment in gold and on maintaining the honour of the State is all that can be desired. The Governor sees that repudiation is a gone coon, and he writes with his eye to the next Presidential election. Had he exerted himself in more effectually checking the Legislature when engaged in handing over the pro perty of a great railroad like the Erie, which has brought upon us such disrepute, it would have been more to the purpose. He did allude to the Erie ring, recommending the repeal of the law whereby it has been made a misdemeanour for "two or more persons to conspire to commit any act injurious to trade or commerce," because it has been a dead letter for forty years, except against labourers. He also recommends that judges be de prived of the power of granting injunctions or of appointing receivers in cases affecting corporations on ex parte applications, or abolishing the writ of injunction. He has a great deal more to say, how ever, about the Federal Government. He began on the tariff, by protesting against the laws which have virtually destroyed American shipping and in jured every class of industry, protesting, too, against delay in their revision. He said—" Our present tariff of duties on imports compels the many to pay high prices for the benefit of a few. Although en acted during the great need of the Government, it was, nevertheless, framed, not for the one great end of giving the Federal Treasury the largest income, but with the view of favouring certain special pri vate interests. No Government has a right to tax except to obtain its necessary revenue.". Bear with me when I ask you to insert this little re mark on the general finances ; how Governor Hoff man could have penned this sentence (for it is only one), and made it so clear and telling, puzzles a novice in writing like myself, " I protest against the continuance of a financial policy which fails either to strengthen the public credit, or diminish the people's burdens, which keeps values uncertain and unsettled, which baffles business foresight; which, while per mitting the sale of Government gold, leaves the country subject to all the evils of an irredeemable paper currency ' w hich threatens to withdraw from the people what is now in use as money before pro viding a substitute; which, undefined in character and variable in action, exposes the business of the country constantly to the chance of disastrous panics ; which seeks to exert a fluctuating con trol over the gold market, instead of making steady progress towards permanent soundness in financial condition ; which can suggest no method of meeting the Legal Tender promises, except to get them back from the people by a process of contraction, both painful and dangerous; which neglects to redeem the legal tender notes held every where among the people, yet with the proceeds of excessive taxation purchases, at a premium, bonds that the Government is under no ohligatian to ply for nearly 15 years.; which saves a few millions an nually in interest on the bonds thus purchased, when by raising the credit of the country to its proper level, many millions more could be saved by the ne gotiation of a new loan at a lower rate of interest ; which assumes that the rate of interest on our bonds can be lowered at the sole will of the borrower, or that capitalists who now hold bonds, paying six per cent. interest in gold, can be persuaded I ,x) ex change them voluntarily for bonds bearing only four-and-a-half per cent. ; which, failing to devise a permanent fuiancial systeni to which the Wei- promoted Rear-Admiral vice Craven — retired, and Captain J. Almy and Commander R. W. Shufeldt are promoted in succession. Commodore J. H. Green is to command the eastern squadron of the North Atlantic fleet under Admiral Poor, comprising that part of the ocean north of Cuba and South of the Chesapeake. General Hickenloper has resigned the marshalship of the Southern district of Ohio. A considerable pressure has been brought against the general, and he resigned to save the President from the importunity of having him removed. Attorney- General Hoar's nomination continues to be the chief subject of discussion. Judge Cartter, of Ohio, has been suggested, and with little reference to con sistency, many of the Southern members, who de nounced the appointment of a Northern man to a Southern circuit, favour him, but some say that Dlr. Thomas J. Durant is to be the man. Mr. Hoar re- turned on Tuesday and recommenced work. How the President will act is not yet known, but the belief is general that he will not withdraw the nomination, but force the Senate to a vote. Of course Mr. Hoar was interviewed immediately on his return, and he is reported to have said, " the President will not withdraw my name, and I shall insist on the nomi nation being directly voted on. I will not resign my place in the Cabinet if not confirmed, as I made this promise to the President." He would pre fer being in the Cabinet,and he had strongly objected to hiss election for the bench, caring little for either place, preferring his home and law practice ' but he was a Republican, a friend of the President, and he would not falter in the face of these plots. An effort has been made to get the President to send in his name for the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Stanton, but Judge Strong, of Pennsyl vania, will, it is thought, be named as Stanton's successor. The belief prevails that on a square vote the Senate will reject the President's nomination ; but nothing can really settle this but the test, for there are some waverers. Among those for whose removal a pressure has been brought to bear on the Executive is Gen. Hugh Ewing, U.S. Minister at the Hague. It is asserted that he is a Democrat, and is not a citizen of Kansas, to which State his nomination is debited. . A Kansas delegation urged this on the President, but Gen. Sherman supports his brother-in-law. Collector Casey, of New Or leans, is charged with keeping Democrats in of c'., and he has hurried up to Washington to defend hitu self against the allegation. He says that when he can find Republicans fit to take the places he will . • turn out the Democrats, butithe monslrous ni;ioa is rejected with disdain, that fitness should ovez-ru'e soundness on the main question. Iu New York the Democratic Government is making a clean sweep of the Republicans, and the Government, wh:ch con trols the Federal posts, desires to make as deal a sweep of the Democrats. Our parties are becoming contemptible, a mere struggle for the emolu:nents of office, and it would be well for the country did they confine themselves simply to the emoluments ; for this political strife, which makes courage an t the ability to strike an enemy hard the highest qualifications, has largely sapped what is good out of the whole public service of our country. Sc.cre tary Creswell wants to abolish the American sys- tem of boxes, and to deliver the letters in all lame cities by carriers, the British plan, I believe. Our way is a very goodi one for those who like it, and much less expensive. In London, where every thing is so concentrated, it pays the Post-office a large revenue, they say,in distributing letters mailed in London for people within London ; but the population there is equal to that of a great State, and two cents would pay well for distribution among a population of twoor three millions, grouped within a circle having a radius of five miles. Per haps, therefore, Mr. Creswell has been misled by the London postal statistics. Tlw Nese York Post-office sent our mails to New Or leans the other day, and we may get our papers re turned in a week hence if lucky. There has been a little storm brewing in that Department of our Government. It is used extensively to extract greenbacks from our citizens by unscrupulous— " swindling firms" they are called. Orders were given to send all letters addressed to them to the Dead-Letter Office. As some of them cover their envelopes with their names and professions great num bers as well were stopped on the way to their victims, and we have had visits from these gentry demand- • ing the return of their letters. They employed counsel, giving him a retaining fee of $lOO. The lawyer accompanied the agent to the Department to make a formal demand for what they call their property, but they were informed the letters with their contents had been returned to the writers, so the " swindling firms" consider themselves " sold," more especially with regard to the retaining fee. One of the events is the strike of the operators of the Western Union Telegraph Company, felt here as well as throughout the country. There are nearly 3,800 operators involved ; nor will this appear strange to your readers who know that that company comprises by far the greater portion of the telegraph communication of the United States, over three fourths. The dispute began in San Francisco in the discharge of two men by the company, who man aged to spread the notion that the cause of their discharge was the resistance to a reduction in their wages. The employes of the company form a union which enabled them to work with speed and unani mity. The president of the company, Mr. Orton, happens to be in England, I believe, and that added to the difficulty. Immediately it was known with us our operators, about forty, left, reassembling at Willard's Hotel, where they bad a stormy meeting. Only three operators remained, two in accordance with the permission of the league, which on being withdrawn they also left, and Mr. Tinker, the manager—of course, in the interests of the com pany, who bad to work night and day. The public believe the employds to be in the wrong, and the general feeling is against them, and they are likely to emerge from the strike only second best. The newspaper telegrams were sent as usual, but it was the public in its private and individual capacity that suffered. One prin ciple rules in such matters, which'enlists the people against the operators. The latter have no right to make numberless individuals suffer, some of them grievously, without good cause. The company lens little, but the public loses much, and the question asked is, Why are we thus made to suffer? When the answer is, Because there was some misunder standing about two workmen in California; and tbefefore the whole business of the country has been paralysed, some indignation is excited, and it might be productive of much good if a few of the strikers were left to strike one heel against the other till they began to feel the pangs of hunger. There is another row in the public schools, owing to a little mulatto girl being admitted to one on a cc:till : cate, and in consequence many of the white child ren were withdrawn. The Bulletin's annual review of the trade of San Francisco for 1869 places the imports at $15,582,000, the exports at $58,133,000. Thirty-eight thousand passengers arrived, inclusive of those by railroad. The real estate sales amounted to $30,000,000; coinage at the Branch Mint, $14,346,000 ; receipts from revenues and customs, $11,634,000. The population of San Francisco is 170,000. The State is filling with an industrious, permanent popu lation, the agricultural wealth has greatly increased, and the proopecto for 1870 are encouraging. ways all — and out• Aded )arty hogs they sa nd r the and rigbt this j,OOO ?pre' ye ar• ;0 to I re' irt of earli that rte co'-b, icano In tO 1 the wined t, the ,sera' that g up cheat three The uider ttips 1.115 -"" 01'0 3 the <<z Th , .0 01 ~.,~u., lan i° eO.! ,1i anfi' LecitirY !lorit,Y; Lb :?'2S ; 00 Tr , 4 cuP O at 5 5 ' e solo t der.—; t: an' _.~ Chas. r, tho [CLOT rcb, ,but lops" vier, her iver alof 'petll, -kuds LIATS , rand , _ex
