The STATE OF THE Cry The disorder and row.
dyism created by the fighting political clubs of
both parties in this city, are ndescrbabIe, and are
filling the minds of all peaceabIe and respectable
citizens with the greatest alarm. Around their
club houses these rowdies are congregated in great
numbers TIL midnight, when, on the arrival Of the
cars from Philadelphia, the returns are read amid
all sorts OF diabolical shouting and tumult. Then
the mobs disperse in bands Of elk or seven. peram
bulating Broadway, entering the oyster cellars,
and threatening the lives of almost every person
they meet The other evening three respectable
Citizens were surrounded in Broadway, opposite
Florence's, by one of those gangs, and narrowly
escaped assault, although not the slightest pro-
authorities Of the city are utterly unable and un.
willing to do any thing to protect citizens from
these drunken vagabonds Of both political parties,
we can only advise all respectable people to avoid
appearing in the streets after the stores are closed
This is idle warning If it be disregarded,
valuable lives may be sacrificed.

CHEAP FLoeeNe.-By our report Of the proceed
ings of the Court of Sessions it will be seen that
Mr. Cooley has been fined IS for giving pounding
to the body Of Mr. Gliddon, the famous antiquarian
lecturer; yet we should not be at all surprised, if
we could discover the thoughts Of Mr.. Cooley, to
lind that at the moment when the sentence was
passed, he was ready to exclaim, "Gentlemen,
Pm very willing to pay another SIS on the same
terms" This is probably the cheapest piece Of
business, of the kind, which has been transacted
in this generation.
Seriously, what fool Mr. GIiddon has been
throughout the whole of this insignificant and
contemplate affair Mr.. Cooley travelled In Egypt
and published book containing "reminiscences
Of his travels. 1t was filled with many amusing
sketches of character Mr. Gliddon, instigated
BY some weak impulse, was led to imagine that
Mr.. Cooley had made mouths at his father, whose
name was'nt even mentioned in the book. He
accordingly published very severe criticism
under the name of Park Benjamin, ssfirst-rate
notice." as il might be called, and probably with
the "ten dollars" But not content with cutting
up the book, he writes pamphlet on it, and ad-
dresses a letter TO Mr.. Cooley, calling him very
hard names. The next time that the two litvati
met, Mr. Cooley, who felt indignant at such treat
ment, on such frivolous pretence, raises his fist
and knocks his reviewer down. Mr. Gliddon cries
'murder! murderl" loud enough to startle the
Pharoshs, and not content with that, brings Mr.
Cooley before court and jury. presents his hard
case, and thereupon the twelve shilling men and
the quarter Of a dollar court informed Mr.. Cooley
that although he might be justified in the eyes OF
others, they were constrained to fine him five dol
lars, which Mr. Cooley paid with a smile, and
went on his way.
| We do think that Mr.. Gliddon, whose ideas OF
chivalry arc SO exalted, and who is, withal, so
chivalric himself, would have discovered much
more sense if he had never said word about the
matter and gone about the country calculating
Egyptian antiquities usual He has gained
nothing whatever by this exhibition.
SEWERS IN THE CIrY.--We understand that there
is good deal of conversation amongst the owners
of property throughout the city in relation to The
project Of constructing sewers in every street.
This has received new impetus from the recent
message Of the Mayor on the subject. We have
received number Of communications on the mat
ter, highly favorable TO the project As soon 10
possible we shall fully examine the subject, and
come to some useful and practical decision.
PosT OFPIcE.-Great complaints are made Of the
negligence Of the post Office At all hours and espe-
cially at night 1t seems that the Postmaster Of
this city manages his affairs with the same neeli-
| isence and unconcern which he exhibited in tn.
| famous North American Trust Company. We
| nope, however, that all thoee who are suffering
| from his negligence and inattention will exercise
patience, tor we are certain that no matter who IL
elected President, we will have new Postmaster
IN April next, at fsrthest--and no mistake. Our
old friend, Col. Webb, was a candidate for the of
ice under General Harrison, and we really believe
mat ne would serve the public much better thar
the present imbecile incumbent.
