CASH AND CREDiT-THE DRFERENcE.-Mr. Richie,
OF the Richmond Enquirer, In calling upon his pa
irons TO pay up, makes statement, that contrasts
the credit and cash system in consucting newspa-
pers, most singulsrly. Mr. Richie has published a
paper nearly half century. He has debts due HIM
equal to $50, 0O0 and he owes the banks Sl5,Ooo
| OF his debts, probably nne-tenths are bad. How
much better if he had acted all through on the cash
principle He nigh have had less circulation Tor
| the time being, but he would have had $40 or $50,
| 600 in pocket without debt. This credit system is
| absolute wickedness.
This is only the commencement OF a vast iued In
| the democratic party. Oh! gnerous! The petit
guerre between the Globe and the MadisonanabouI
Captain Tyler and his administration, is only part OF
the same game, looking towards the next Preslden-
cy. Most melancholy The democrats have now
eight candidates in the feld-Cass, Calhoun, Van
Buren,, Buchanan, Johnson, Stewart, Benton and
Tyler-all certain of getting the nomination
While the Wings have only one, Clay, with three
in reversion, but not now up troublesome, Scott,
Mclean, and Webster. How miserable we feel!
This is the rock on which the democratic party
will probably split IN 1914. Have mercy upon us !
In that glorious year, want to see OF the par
ties well licked-soundly licked Not one hardly
|
comfort certain-out of the twelve candidates,
eleven will get soundly thrashed. Praise be to
| Allah, and Mahomet his prophet!
| PARDON TO CRmiNALs.-The more we reflect on
the pardon given to Webb, the more we are salts
| fed that all pardons to criminals are useless In
that particular instance, it has only increased the
impudence, pomposity and mischevous propenslties
| of the Z" regular army We shall go for no more
! pardons Let the law in every case have its course
Webb is a worse man and worse edtor-more
| abusive and more unprlncipled, than The fol-
lowing is the opinion of the Boston Courier on the
| pardon-
| GOVERNOR SEwARD's PROCLAMATION, pardonng
Col Webb, s, OF all state papers that ever read,
| the most illogical, inconcusve, and absurd. Sure
ly, he might have granted the pardon without stating
a column OF the strongest reasons why 1t ought not
| to be granted. Asto The proprlety OF granting
pardon, at any, rate, we say nothing Bu, II Is
granted on the express condition" that Col. Webb
"shall not, while he remains citizen OF this State,
| New York; violate any of the laws designed to
prevent duelng, by any act aid, assist or abet,
in such violation, nor print or publish any ushca-
ton or defence OF the practice of duelIing or any
| paper with intent to advocate or uphold the same"
Well, now, suppose Col. Webb, not having the fear
of the State Prison before his eyes, should violate
some law of the state of New York-suppose, Tor in
stance, he should publish libel on Governor Sew
| ard, what will be the consequence? Will that sub
| ect him to the penalty which is now RENTED! If
| so, how and by whom is the sentence to be carried
then to be in office, will he grant the Colonel Sec
| ond pardon!
| New MOVEMENTS IN FASHIONABLE SoCIETY.-The
terrible revulsions in trade and commerce that
| have recently swept over the country, the opera
tons Of the Bankrupt Law, and the new movements
in society have reduced many of our former fash
ionables who lived in elegance and luxury, down to
the basement story, and the solitary enjoyment of
single dish of mutton. Those who used to lead
fashionable society in 1896 and 1887 are now down
low in the scale that they passed by "as the
idle wind, which we respect not" and their places
| are occupied by a new class of fashionabes Of
| more merit, whose lustre was dmmed by the I'M
healthy atmosphere of fashion which prevailed or
years ago, but who are now bursting forth in the
first circles with all the berality, elegance taste
and generosity, without the RIGHTEOUSNESS that cha
racterlzed the age and Court of Louis the Four.

Among the most distinguished of this latter Glass;
| is Mr. Henry Carey,a gentleman who having made a
very elegant mansion in St Johns Park part of
the year land spends the balance of his time among
the first circle, and enchanting scenery OF the old
| world. Mr.. Carey is In many respects very re-
markable and distinguished man. He possesse 8
| great literary attanments-he is philosopher
| niiHionaire-a man of fine taste and extensive ira
vel-and withal fashionable, intellectual and high
| ly accomplished gentleman; and IN every respect
fitted 10 adorn any circle court in Europe or the
world. For many years past he has, as we before
observed, spent great part OF his time on the CONT
| famiarly with the potentates of Germany at Baden
Baden anon we find him at Rome, lounging through
the halls of the Vatican again wei hear of him in
the Pettl PETIT palaces the next, perchance, ne rs
q
the galleries of Florence; then again in few hours
he is seen at Venice, signing the Bridge of Signs
again he is contemplating the classic beauty of the
| spot where "They keep his tomb in Arqua;" OF
wandering amid the wild and romantic mountain
scenery Of the Apprentices, rendered forever famous
by the daring and desperate valour of the renowned
| Fra Moreale
In this way more than one half of each of Mr..
Carey's well spent years are past. His establish
ment at New York is furnished in the style of the
old noblesse of Europe, and filled with articles of
uertu and the choicest works Of art here he Is IA

OF his table, wherein no one can excel him tor In
Paris he dimes at Vereys and takes fish at the Roche
de Cancale or Tortonis.
To come, however, to the point of our story, il
appears that in his establishment at New York
Mr.. Carey had very excellent worthy, and respec
table lady for housekeeper. In consequence Of
the approach of winter and cold nights, we pre-
sumo, this lady felt strong desire to enter into
the holy bands of wedlock with young and high

cprocated her feelings: Mr.. Carey highly approved
of the movement, and accordingly on Thursday
