APPOINTMENT OF THE WALL STREET PRINTS by
TIE COMMON CoUNcIL.-The appointment of Charles
King, OF the New York American, and of Thomas
Snowden, the 1" man Friday of "Col. Webb of the
regular army to be the printers and organs of the
new Boards, have produced several amusing and in
teresting results among the patriots of beth parties.
Perhaps no men are more obnoxious to the great
working mass of both parties than Charles King and
James Watson Webb. Their unpopularity is the
Joint production of their personal history and dis
agreeable character. King is man of great pride
and haughness, with very little to support it, either
in talents character birth, or property. He besides
a man of luxurious habis-little business talent and
limited industry His only point of influence is his
connection with financial clique in Wall street. who
have more ambition than they want to conduct their
own affairs On the other hand, Col Watson Webb's
imam Friday is tolerable in himself-but he is
merely the iocpm feucns for the "Courier and En-
quirer'' The drollery OF the appointment is TO see
a concern which in fact is bankrupt for over
S2o00o)-beins such favorite as to get the mono
poly of the Bankrupt notices and one-half of the
Common Council.
The wpopua rity of these appointments is very
lntense-even among the wings themselves--and
this intensity Is daily increasing from the distress
that has been created among the MANY persons re-
moved.

This is the operation of the old system-bu odd
enough, under the new system, all those sums dis
trbuted to the institutions whose names are in italics
will receive none. This seems to be the principal
effect OF the new law-for all the schools under the
old Public School Society remain as ever.
One of the most ridiculous things connected with
this election is the exhibition of many sensible men
passing resolutions deprecating the power of the
Pope-the progress of the Catiolics-and the preva-
lence fpopery. This prominent fact convinces
that there has been great and radical error in the
education of the present of voters, and that
thorough reform is very much wanted among large
classes of society. The cry of popery like that of
necromancy and wtchcraft, has had its day, never
to return-and the men who pretend to set up such
a cry arc either knaves foolsft only to be sent
TO the State prison or TO the public schools. The
great tendency of the present day to materalism
socialism, and all species Of irreigion and absolute
unbeef- and one of the most melancholy spectacles
OF the Public School controversy was to see Ketch-
um, the lawyer, celebrating his long-winded ha-
rangues this subject, insnuating the belief that
popery ruled New York legislation. This man would
have been better employed reading his bible, and
learning from that sacred volume, that in his pro-
fession, to defend Stone, his client, it was not ne
cessary to SANDER others unconnected with his case
and for which falsehoods he has yet offered no re-
paration, as man of honor would do
At all events, the approaching election will be
worth watching.

ton of Buffalo is increasng-rade is good-mary-

bies are coming into the word-the churches are
hourishng-the still shines-the rains of heaven
fall in the fields-the lake is navigabe-Niaga-
ra still flows on-the steamboats, still plow Erie's
waves-and the whole machinery of society is still
in sound condition. Now that the Buffalo banks
are banished or broke, no man has opportunity

LirEEArURE-CoPYRIGHT.- great many lugu-
brous paragraphs have been recently written on the
suspension OF an obscure monthly magazine, called
the " Arcturus." This awful catastrophe to the IL
teraure OF the age has been attributed to the want
OF an International copyright, and the cheapness Of
foreign re-published journals. This is all nonsense
If an American Magazine dies in this country, be
assured the death is natural 1t arises from want OF
talent-want OF tact-want Of enierprise-want OF
business capacity. An American literary or scienti-
TIC production always be supported, if it has me-
rit and enterprise. The republication of foreign
works never will destroy American works, if the
latter deserves support. Here is an instance. The
New York Lancet medical and scientific
work, has only been in existence hardly six months,
and yet it has nearly circulation of 5000 copies
equal, probably, TO all the medical journals of the
Atlantic cities This journal has been conducted
from the jump with talent, energy, and business tact
Literary magazines conducted on the same princi-
pies will be equally successful. But how many of
our tterati have sense sagacity to manage their
own talents or make them available! They are the
merest popnjays in existence, without any know
ledge of real life the mode of bringing their eggs
safely to market. Look at Dickens. Half the sale,
and wo-thlrds of the popularity of Dickens in Eng
land are owing to the tact of his publishers artists
and wood engravers.
D0t annoy us any longer with stuff about the de-
cay of literature
