The Mayor and City Authorities of New
York, declined returning the salute of the
French National vessel that brought to this
country the notorious Boireau, who was con-
victed in France of an attempt to assassinatc
the King. The salute should have been re-
turned, and that too, in manner worthy of
the indignation of an insulted Nation-with
double-shotted guns. France, nor no other
nation should be permitted, with impunity, to
land upon our shores, gang of desperadoes,
the refuse of its cities, and the sweepings Of
its prson-houses. For one, we hope that this
open and notorious insult will be resented in
manner that shall give the French nation
warning against future attempts to load US
with the dregs of its Jacobin population.

A sub-agent of the United States Treasu-

Jefferson county, N. York, is carrying out the
principles of the Administration, by receiving
the papers which we send to our subscribers
in that place as special deposit, refusing to
disburse the same on demand, to those to
whom they belong. One of our subscribers
says that he never gets his papers until they
are old, and that although he calls for them
every week, he sometimes receives eight or
ten at time. We hope that Mr.. Green. will
receive the same benefit from the perusal of
our Journal, that the Post Master General
was expected to receive from the reading of
the Boston parsons letter, and that he will be-
come better man, and more honest officer.
In the mean time, since he has become the
depositary of the funds of the Government,
we intend before great while to read him
lecture for his own private benefit, in which
we shall largely insist that common honesty is
an indispensable qualification in the occupant
yf an Office SO responsible and vast"

A man by the name of Dupe, was found on
Monday evening last, seven miles above Def
ance, mangled in horrible manner. Several
large gashes, were inflicted upon various
parts of his head and mouth, and at the time
he was discovered were filled with maggots.
He was alive when we received our informa-
ton, but unable to speak. His saddle bags
were found about twenty feet from his body,
cut open at both ends, and the clothes in them
of the best quality. Papers were found on
him, by which it was discovered, that he was
from Ontario Co. N. Y, that his father resides
in Tennessee, and that he has other friends liv-
ing in Indiana. In belt around his body,
three hundred and fifty dollars in gold and
silver was found, which had escaped the eyes
Of the robbers. The ground was trodden up
very much, and from appearances, hard
struggle had ensued between the parties.
No money was found in his pockets, and his
horse, if he had one, was taken by the rob-
ber, or robbers. 1t is the opinion Of the ply
sician attending him, that he will survive,
aud as soon as he is able to speak, some clue
may be had, whereby the perpetrators of this
horrible act can be discovered.

Ridiculous Balloon ascension in
Baltimore lately, Mrs. Warren stepped from
the crowd of spectators, and insisted upon
taking the place of the Eronaut. This was
conceded, and the lady took her place in the
car, and made a successful trip. But the RI
diculous part of the story remains to be told.
The husband of the Amazon became rather
solicitous as to the fate of his wife, and took
it into his head to follow. "Over the hills
and far away" travelled the disconsolate gen.
tleman, his eyes fixed upon the erial vessel
above, and his feet fathoming the depths ofthe
bitches below now tearing his unmentiona-
bes in an intervening hedge, and anon bring
ing up all standing against the hard side of
stone wall, now rushing with the speed of the
wind to the top of hill, and now foamng in
his rapid course to the bottom. .4oft sailed
the lady in her "airy ship" viewing with eye
unsatiated, the beauties of the ever-varying
landscape, and little dreaming that the little
pigmy which she saw scrambling among the
rocks below, was her anxious husband push.
ing forward with might and main, to catch a
glimpse of the advent of his better half from
the upper regions. The sequel of the story
is, that the man returned without finding his
wife, and the wife returned, after receiving a
good whipping from the branches of tree
which she encountered in her descent.

A great number Of petitions were pre-

the annexation Of Texas to the United
States, which were laid on the table.
SUB -TREARURY SYsTEM.-The bill
imposing additional duties. as deposit
ories of the public money, on certain Of
6cers, was then taken up for conside-
ration, when,
Mr.. Tallmadge addressed the senate
for about two hours and half in very
powerful argument against the SUBJ
treasury system which had been brought
forward by the committee Of Finance.
He presented some strong views, and
placed the evils which would flow from
the adoption Of the system in a very for
cible light.
After he had closed Mr.. Strange made
some explanations.
Mr.. Calhoun then answered some o.
the objections to the Treasury scheme
and comparing it with the plan offered by
Rives, the only two plans submitted to
the senate decided that the plan of Mr..
Rives was too exceptionable to be adopt.
ed, and the evils too result from con.
tinuing the state banks in connexion with
the government would far exceed any o.
the evils which had been described as
likely to come from their divorce.

A meeting styling itself, " The Democratic
Anti-Masonic National Cony ention," was hol-
den in Washington on the llth ult. The
number Of delegates amounted to .tDty three
from Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island. The Honorable
delegates, it seems, voted that the orgonza-
tion of their party, with the long name, should
be perpetual, and adjourned to the I'd Tues
day of November, 1888. This is probably
supposed to be sowing the seeds of Revou-
tion by the members. If SO, like the seeds of
mans favorite Narcotic, they are rather a
small affair, but like those, that may grow out
of them which will make many people sick.

4 Returns from Maine render it no longer
doubtful, that the wings have gained sig
nal victory in that State. This result was not
expected, even by the most sanguine. Maine
with her great extent Of sea coast, indented
with numerous harbors, afforded employment
to multitude of custom honse officers, ex-
cse-men and tide-waiters, who, no doubt,
were all interested in perpetuating the power
of the reigning dynasty. But the last Mes
sage has been too much, even for her, and her
"boys" have spoken. Kents majority will
not be far from one thousand, and it is thought
that the whig majority in the House of Rep
resentatives, will be not far from twelve.
