TROUBLE AT ALBANY.-Some of the strong ones
OF the democratic party in this city, have been sent
for from Albany in difficulty of very extraordi-
nary character.
II appears that there are now at Albany,
reckoning cuiotes, cmlottes blue spirits and
grey, and all, about thousand office-seek-
ers. The Governor taking review of them
upon his white horse, is filled with unaffected
dismay and embarrassment. He has lived very
quiet lie, paid all his debts regularly as be plant
ed his potatoes hoed his corn, harvested his wheat
or drove his white horse to church upon Sunday.
But he unfortunately came to Albany and forgotto
leave his honesty, his integrity, and his temperance
at home The ofice-seekers throng around him,
and upon application for Office, are struck with
amazement, sort of galvanic shock, to hear the
Governor inquire into their characters, their honesty
and their temperance-whsther they have ever
swinded any bank, been defaulters, and all such
od-fashioned and absolete questions This is new
reception. They don't know what 1t means nor
what to make OF 1t. They never were asked such
required to bring with him certificate of good
character, honesty, and temperance was never heard
OF or thought of before. They have told him all
about the Pewter Mug, and Tammany Hall, but he
declares that he never drank any of their grog nor
tasted OF their BEER and that he knows nothing all
about them. They accordingly demonstrate, but |
the Governor neither be driven nor coaxed.
And ii is in just this embarrassing dilemma that they
have sent down to New York for some Of the old
sachems, and file leaders to go up to their help, and
see if the Governor cannot be regulated.
GROSS BLUNpERs AND INJUSTICE OF THE JOURNAL
OF COMMERCE. The Journal of Commerce made a
great ado yesterday, and indeed very indecent
and unjushfable attack upon his Honor Judge Belts
in relation to recent decision of his in the case of
bankruptcy of Messrs Kernicker and Primer. Ac-
cording to the Journal it would appear " that Eu-
ropeans who know OF America only by name, who

States and after remaining here, until they become
residents, (say, about thirty days. apply for and
obtain the benefits of an Act intended, as one might
suppose, not for all Europe, but for parties egiti-
matey dealing to and from or in America, and then
laugh at their creditors, who can no longer reach
them"
This is wholly erroneous, as no such decision has
been made.
ARREST OF Com. MCKENZIE AND LIT. GANsEvooRr.
Another application was made to Judge Belts, for
the arrest of these individuals Immediately on the
closing of the testimony before the Court of EnquI-
~ on Thursday. The Judge decided that he should
not interfere in the case on the ground that the
acts of Sept a. 1879, and Aug. %, 1872 authorized
any Justice Judge of the Courts of the United |
States, and any Justice of the Peace, or other ma
gstrate Of the State where he may be found or |
Commissioners appointed by the Circuit Court TO |
cause any person accused of an offence against the
United States TO be arrested, committed, or bailed |
as the case may require Also for the reason that
his time is wholly engrossed in the business of |
bankruptcy, so that he has 10 devote TO any |
criminal business, and especially TO an examination
like tins, which would require two or three weeks
THE soArERs CAsE-A New PoINr-A correspon-
dent who seems to have looked narrowly into this |
case, has sent US the following pithy article =
SIR
The real question at issue in the case of the ESQ
mers, is PROFESSIONALLY whether or no, a para
mount necessity existed at the time of the execu-
ton, for taking the lives of three persons even ad-
uniting them, Tor the sake Of the argument, have
been guilty in manner and form they charged,
of conspiracy to get up mutiny.
Without at all admitting this charge, is It not
little surprising that nothing has been said about the
fact that when the execution took place the Somers
in latitude IL 81 ~, and longitude 81 So w
within "a hours sail of either the island of Antigua
that of St Bartholomew
This would appear TO be one of the strongest
points IN the whole case. Why did not Commander
Mckenzie take the Somers into one or the other of
these islands :! The vessel was in the trade winds
which were far winds to take him into either place
We think It high time this should be publicly known
which II most assuredly is not at present. A. B.
N. b. The island of Antigua at the time of the
execution bore N. 81 W., distance 209 miles. The
island of St Thomas n. 80 w. distance 43O miles
This, we believe, is the view taken of this impor-
tant case by Fennimore Cooper, who is now in this
city, and was very busy in Wall street, few days
ago,examnlng certain charts in one ofthe Insurance
Offices. Mr. Cooper, whose judgment is one of the
best oil naval affairs was about concluding a naval
work, but has delayed till this case can be term
mated, IN order TO embrace in his book correct
history OF all It's details. We learn also that Mr.
Cooper's opinion is decidedly against the proprietv
or necessity of the course pursued by Can't McKen-
Ze.
We will give further views on this point bv and
