Bates Cooke who knew any thing about HE

Comptroller for New York. He is at this moment

finances of New York. He is an advocate Of bank

min Rathbun, who is now in the Auburn State
Prison. serving out his time for forgeries committed

the payment Of an old debt Of gratitude.
Such is the way In which the Wall street influence

-Thurlow Weed is managing his cards with great
reiaf, since he appointed tn the responsible
Office Of Grand State Barber and Small Potatos

ments of the Office, which equal to S35 900
per annum--a little more even than annual in
come, or that Of Mr.. Van Burens, warrant a splcn-
did dash-and Thuriow does il to admiration.
On the adjournment Of the Legislature last week,
ThurIow gave grand state dinner, at which snly
the very Pinks and tulips Of the Legislature i'm
vited. The viands not common Ohio pork At
three sents per pound-nor the beverage hard cider
ape,ny glass. All the delicacies Of the four
sons and four quarters OF the world, adorned his
board. The wines Of France and Germany sparklsd
in his chrys,.' and the preserves Of Italy and the
Mediterranean formed his desert. or the former.

tcs the wit-the songs, all Of tie most CLASH
cal ordcr--much higher than leg cabins. His guests
were delighted wththe entertainment, and went away
astonisheda the improv in the dress and style
sfThurlow, since he hung as loafer, with dirty
checked shirt and old hat, rosnd the tsverns Of Ro-
chester, and preached funeral sermon the
Sood-cnough remsHs Of Morgan Till after the cleo
zion.
We are glad OF all this, because Thurlow H. in the
main clever fellows much cleverer rascal in his
way, than that snivelling Edwin Croswell. Thur
low now wears clean lisen and is first rate state
barber The legislature have increased his annual
income in a very proper way. The fees Of the
raseslly lawyers all the state have been redu
ccd fifty per cent by recent iaw-and Of the amount
thus redaced, Thurlow gets at least $4,000 added
60 his usual printing bills, In the shape Of additional
charges authorized by the new law, for every Legal
notice.
We like this. Squeeze the hwyers-but pour
money into the lap Of edtcrs-rarticularly such .
smart chap as Thuriow.
