red in Philadelphia on Tuesday night last The
rioters, not more than fifty in number, made at
tack on the California House, resort for colored
people, and kept by negro who was reported to be
married TO or living with white woman. The in
mates resisted the attack for long time, but the
mob, being augmented, broke into the house and set
it on fire. The fremen repaired to the scene of de-
struction, but were assailed by the rioters and fl
nally driven off. The California, and several other
houses were burnt. Two or three members Of fire
companies were shot dead and eight or ten others
were badly wounded. The military being called
out in considerable force and cannon planted in the
streets, the mob was at last suppressed. On We'd
nesday the leader Of the mob, big, powerful negro,
was arrested after making desperate resistance.

Iotal. I'd ovo
This table, we think, gives tolerably fair esti-
mate of the physical and military strength of the
Northern and free, and the Southern ana slave
States, proporionably. 1t Is apparent that If any
attempt should be made by the Southern States,
under the influence Of fsnatical counses, to d.
vide this confederacy, it could be promptly put
down by the superior physical force Of the free
States. But we do not apprehend the occurrence
of such dreadful state of things. Fanatical po-
litcians, and utras, may talk and buster as much
as they please, but there is in the minds of the
American, people--in the South as well as in the
North--a love and reverence for the Union OF these
States, as 1t now exists. The rights guaranteed
by the constitution will be maintained at all
hazards, and the man or men, be he or they whom
they may, who dare to raise their hands In oppo-
sition to that revered instrument, will promptly
meet their deserts. Threatenings and gasconadlrgs
may be tolerated; but wo to the man or party that
will COMM, any overt oct to destroy this glorious
confederacy. "'' The Union as it is-new and for
ever And may God prosper 1t!

Police AND ASSISTANT JUSTICES -Mr Campbell, |
Of New York, 1t appears, has presented bill be-
fore the Assembly, 20 amend San act IN relation to
Justices and Police Courts the city of New

The main features in this bill appear 70 be
merely to obtain an increase Of salary for the
sistant Justices anil clerks. They obtain now
from the city Observation-Disclosures, fifteen hundred
dollars per annum, and the clerks one thousand
dollars In this new bill they ask for an increase
OF salary, making the Justices eighteen hundred
dollars, and the clerks twelve hundred.
In this bill, il will be seen that nothing has been
said IN relation to the increase of the police clerks
and Wstces' salaries, although the amount of labor
double that dsns by the district justices. Aad yet
they claim an increase OF wages 5i l

There - also another bill now before the Legis-

and empower two police justices to hold court, and
adjudlcate on, all such cases The Court OF
General Sessions will be turned into kind of
county court, fog the trial of corrupt magistrates
and justices. All charges preferred against them
will be heard and decided upon by the Recorder
and two aldermen. Some of the sections in this
code may possibly be of advantage; but, to take
the whole, wefear n VIII prove mere bagatelle.
