Important Popular Movement--Fnst De-
rnonstratlo, OF New York in favor Of the
Adm Illustration OF John Tyler.
very important meeting has been called, TO De
held at O'Clock this day, at the Merchants Ex-
change, for the purpose OF urging npon congress
The necessity of immediate action on the great
measures placed before them by the President and
his Cabinet This requisifion has been signed by
many hundreds of the sound and substantial bus-
ness mens OF the city, formerly belonging to both
parties. but now throwing off all passion, preju-
dice and party ties, and locking only TO the great
interests of the country, SO sgnally sacrificed by "a
Congress that has almost disgraced the nation.
This meeting is only the beginning Of great
popular movement, that will roll over the country,
and knock at the doors of both houses of Congress
in tones of thunder,-crying-" what are you about
idlers What have you done for your S. per day :
Have you lost all sense and patriotism p Perhaps
the history Of the republic, since the era of l776,
has never exhibited such spectacle Of imbecility,
folly, absurdity, and waste OF all time and charac
Ter, as the present Congress has done. This body
of patriots were elected as a hard cider Congress
and they have truly proved to be the hardest set of
customers that got together in Washington, or
sucked patriotism from the barrel till they lost all
sense and shame. Three months and more have
Joined the past and nothing has been done to re-
i.eve the character of the country-or to pass me-
cessary measures. Both houses are overawed by
TWO desperate and designing chques Of president
makers, who, with their respective tale, prevent
any thing from being transacted. We do not wish
TO "syllabe mems Names, but is there man in
this great city that does not know the two ultra
master-spirts, one on each side-opposite in every
thing, but in keeping up war on the admlnistra-
lion, and in disgracing the very character of the
government This terrible double party-spirit-ths
ultra movement, beginning in the extreme Of the
parties, organized at the extra sesson-ex
pounded in the Manifesto of Fory-reverberated in
this State under the patronage Of Thurlow Weed
Il Co.-aHd has been supported by the lowest ken
mel presses Of the repubGc-such as the "Courier
and Enquirer"-the "Amercan"- 'Albany Eve
ming Journal"-and despicable and detestible prints
OF that ilk.
It. is time that the people were reused up in
their majesty and numbers. They are beginning to
rouse up from deep sleep-and we hail the meet
ing Of the business people Of New York, in the Ex-
change to day, as the beginning Of series of popu.
lar movements, that will drive the dirty President
makers and mere office seekers back to their no.
thingness. A crisis in both foreign and domestic
Affairs is approaching, and the general admnistra-
tion of the republic will be supported in all that is
right and honest. Go ahead
THE New PosrMAsrER.-Col. Graham returned
last evening from Washington, and will enter upon
the duties Of his office on the lst of April Gu.

foels day, there is no great foolery in being post.
master, judging from the excitement and hopes
which this Office has created since the 4th Of March.
1871.
First, Charles King was certain Of being post
master, through the influence of General Scott
but, failing in that, he came out against Captain
Tyler, hot and heavy, abusing him like pckpocket,
though Charles has a son or two in the Custom
House. Then, Colonel Webb was sure of il,

but the emoluments arising from the boxes having
been abolished, the dsinterested Colonel abandoned
the pursuit. and, by way of emp loyment, turned his
tention to the bankrupt law, and Is now busy ia
ing the benefit Of the aet merely to keep company
and cheer up the army Of unfortuna,es Joe Hoxie
-"gorious Joe Hoxie"-was also candidate tor
the Office, and was sure Of it for seven weeks and
three days Phillip Hone had a prospect, as Moses

Louehborough was equally positive for a week, and
Mr.. Raymond for month. So also was Mr. Blood
good for nearly six weeks.
In fact, The clerkships and emoluments of the
Post Office have been. during the last year, cut up
and arrested dozen different imes to many differ
ent ciques but, euriously enough, Col. Graham, a
gentleman never thought Of by any body, never
thinking Of it himself, pumped into the office, and
will have to execute the work which has kept this
city in hot water for year. We have no doubt he
will do the work well.
SINGULAR DEoIsIoNs In BASxRuPrcY.-Some
curious decisions in Bankruptcy have been made
recently BY the United States Court affecting the
jewelry and necessary ornaments that the wife Of
bankrupt is authorized to retain in her possession
II seems that the wife of one OF the applicants
hid in her possession diam onds worth $4,000
which she brought with her into the marriage con.
tract and which were considered once suitable for
her station in life. This she is allowed to retain.
We like this decision. 1t is step in the march Of
civilization, when the women will possess rights
equal to thoee Of the men. Why should woman's
property 60 to pay the debts Of a speculative.
