Loco-Foco Defalcarions.

SCENE IN The COMMON CoUScIL.-A very inter-
esting exhibition OF the disposition of the Loco
Fecos to cover defa!cations and protect deaulters
ioek place in the Board of Assistant Aldermen on
/ Monday evening About two months ago, Assist
ant Aldermen ScoLEs brought in Resolution re-
curing the Counsel of the Corporation, under
the direction of the Finance Committee, TO prose
cue defaulters and ;heir sureiies. The Resolu-
ton passed unanimously. At shat time it was
not generally known that the Mayor had taken
5000 from the First Marshal in violation of q
CITY Ordinance The Mayor vetoed the Resoln-
tion (as he said,) because MIR. Ward, the First
Marshal, might be prosecuted under 1t Tor tle
s., 900 which he handed over 10 the Mayor, IN
stead of paying it into the City Treasury, as tie
Ordinance directs On Monday evening MIR.
ScoLEs moved that the Resolution pass notwisn-
standing the objections of the Mayor. Erery Loco
Foco roted against II. All the Wings present
voted in favor of it but, owing TO the absence OF
one Whig Member of the Board, the Resol'l'lon
could not pass by majority of all the Members
elected 10 the Board. We hope Mr.. ScoLEs vii!
renew his Resolution. Here find the Loco
Foco Members of,he Board opposing Resolution
for the prosecution of the pundercrs of the Pubic
Treasury--striving to the utmost TO screen defai-
cations-and, upon the suggestion OF the Mayor
that his own conduct might be the subject OF IN
vestigation changing about and voting against
resolution to which they mad previously given
unanimous support Will their honest constltu-
ents, who are taxed to make up these distractions
| he inv Trusaa their course !
We think not.
g Some dagssince the Herald announced that
the Mormod sg6st CT Gen. Bennett was out, and
commented freely upon its obscenity, &c. lie
best answer to all this stuff is the simple statement
which we have in a letter from the publisher, that
the book has not yet been published, and-at the
time the Herald article was yrittcn-not print
ed page of it had been out of the office. lhe
charge of RIGHTEOUSNESS &c. preferred against the
book, is said to be utterly untounded. This abuse
may be explained by the fact ,lat Bennett OF the
Herald applied to Bennett of Nauvoo for the job
of printing his book The offer rejected; and
since that time Gen. E. and his forthcoming book
have been steadily abused. As every body knows
il would be strange if the Herald had taken any
other course.
% We notice that all over the Country a class
of newspapers which have notoriously the very
smallest circulation are stuffed with advertisements
of Land Sales, for Navy and Army Stores, sc. NC
These advertisements in such quarters do next to
Just no good at all, yet the People must pay round
prices for them, and what aggravates the abuse,
the Whig party will be charged with the expend-
ture made by and upon its bitterest enemies. Is
not this outrageous
20 The authorship of the article on American
Newspo per Literature in the last Foreign Quar-
terly is subject of general speculation in literary
circles Those attacked in it are inclined to claim
the honor of being reviewed by Mr. DICKENS; but
the best Judges incline to the belief that this gen.
tleman had very little if any thing to do with it
The Courier thinks he wrote it, and relies with
great confidence on the alledged fact that DR.
Mckenzie, the Liverpool correspondent OF the
Union, says he is recognized the author in
England" We have seen nothing of the kind in
any OF his ettres. The only passage in which Boz
is alluded to in connection wk the article is this
:" "Apropos oil Boz There is an article in the
Foreign Quarterly (now edited by Chapman &
Hail. his puhlishers) on the Newspaper Literature
of America Slight ground this for the Courier $
statement The American thinks the article was
written in this city, or at least this side of the
water The weight of opinion among the best in
formed in the literary circles here seems to be
against his being the author.
