DEAR SIR Yesterdays election Of general and
ward committees has resulted most auspciously and
successfully for progressive democracy is
the democracy of our present national admin
istration. The only way TO save the demo-
cratic party-or any other party---or any
great political unt--fiom divisions and intestine dis
cords, Is to hold up before it for its achievement
some great idea--some commanding and leading
object, measure, enterprise, acting the load
stone for all small needles. Such ideas and meas
ures our present administration has developed and
held up to the admlrlng eyes of not only the demo-
cratic party, but of tho people of the United States
The people love leader who goes before them-not
one who foliows them; and there those living
who know what that means. Young democracy
accepts James X. Polk such a leader; and nobly
truly, enthusiastically, viii they sustain hinA They
will forgive him for an error in taking responsible
ty but not for indecision, procrastinntion or fear
II is enough for me to say that the democracy of
this city is now of the young and progressive"
class, and that our general committees truly repre-
sent them So, when you count noses for the ad-
ministraton, don't forget our nose
Mr. Levy, how about Cuba We arc curious to
know.
News from Mexico is eagerly looked for
Yours, truly,

DOMESTIC ROMANCE IN REAL LiTE-A scene Of
fearful interest was enacted on Friday before Judge
Vanderpoel respectable young man, cabinet
maker in Norfolk street, appeared to answer writ
OF hubeds corpus he was accompanied by his son,
very handsome and well.drcssed boy, about seven
years of age, upon whom he evidently doated. The
mother, good looking woman, was present, and
had procured the issue of the writ for the purpose
of obtaining custody of the child, US iegitimate, and
thus, under our laws, belonged to the mother. 1t
appears that about eight or nine years ago the
father and mother became acquainted in Switzerland,
in the Canton of Basic, where she resided. They
loved; but he being German, was compelled by
the laws of Canton, before marrying, to give sec,,-
rty that his children should never become public
charge. He applied to the father of the girl, who
refused to become his security, and they could not
be legally united. Agreeably to the usage of that
county, however, they pledged themselves to each
other, and lived together for time and wife.
The man finally left Switzerland for New York, the
little boy in question being about year old. He
promised to write for the boy and his mother which
he did, but she could not then leave her MOTHER
and only arrived here with their boy in October of
last year-to find that the father, desparng of her
coming, had married another She resigned the
child to his care, and sought employment teach
er--eventually forming an acquaintance with sub
stantial daryman ON Long Island, (who being first
made acquainted with her whole history married
her, and consented to adopt the boy as his own.
The child, however, had become attached to his
father, who was passioEately fond of him, and re-
fused to give him up; hence the writ Of habeas corpus
The Judge Of course decided that the custody of the
child Che being egitimate) belonged TO the mother,
unless it should become public charge. The scene
the surrender of the child was thrilling and pain
full in the extreme. The boy screamed, and chung
convulsvely to his father, and refused to listen to
the enreaties and endearments of his mother while
the unhappy father appeared almost heart.
He con,ended that the child being his, and baptized
in his name be had right to it, and intimatel that
he would not give him up. Finally, however, he
and his friends departed, leaving the child with its
mother, who at length succeeded in partially quiet
ing his sobs, and taking him away
The mother is a very respectable-looking woman
but IN her hollow and somewhat faded cheek are in
debly exhibited much Of suffering and agony that
she must have endured

RESCUE.

Disinterested sacrifices being of rare occurrence.
the exhibition Of generous feeling constituting them
should not be suffered to pass unnoticed, for the
reasons that the party making the sacrifice, and risk
ng his own life, may be, in efforts to save that of
another, should not have withheld from him the
need of praise which may be justly due; nor should
the example be lost, an incentive to others, to
assist their fellows in peril or distress.
This uhin of reflection is induced In contempla-
ting late act of daring on the part of Edmund, a
son of Benjamin Evans, Of this city, who, at the
peril Of his own life, saved from drownns) that Of a
son of Mr.. Keyworth, Of Pennsylvania avenue.
The latter had broken through the ice in the canal
whilst skatlng-had sunk beneath the surface of
the water, and would mos. probably have persisted,
but for the courage of young Evans, who, breaking
the ice around himself, and reaching to the drowning
lad, held him above the water, until the bystand-
ers recovered their selposesson so far as to enable
them to aid in placing him beyond the reach of dan
ger.

DECEMBER %.
The court met at IL, a. m.


The counsel of the parties being in court, the
judge delivered his opinion upon the question of
jurisdiction in full, aud overruled the objection
thereto
Francis Thomas, by counsel, then offered paper
containing statement showing reasons why he
should refuse TO take any further part on the pro-
ceedings instituted by Mrs. T., and asked that the
same may be entered of record Objection was
made thereto for want of form and authenticity
because 1t was not signed and sworn to. The court
suggested the proprlety of nquiring into the pro-
priety of receiving the paper at all before discus
sion of the forms of its authorization. Upon argu-
ment the court refusing to receive the statement Of
MIR. Thomas, overrules his motion to enter of
record, upon the ground that Mr.. Thomas (being at
liberty TO defend himself or not, and refusing to
take any part thcren) is not before the court and
no motion can be made by him.

proved according TO law by the affidavit of J. J.
