The most interesting article in this number is that upon Municipal Government g This is an able and forcible analysis of the causes of the recent riots in New York, and the effects of such disturbances. It contains some well-merited sirictures upon the employment of the military in popular governmen, to perform duties that beloug exclusively to the civil department. The article is written in the purest spirit of democratic principles.

The secret History of the cabinet.

Int SCCEct hhstOEy 0t thC ChDtucts Gen. TayIor's selection of cabinet officers was surprising and unneIIigible both to his friends and his opponents. Every one who has taken any in- Lterest in the affairs of the government has been scurious to know how such selections happened to be made and why the President, to the exclusion of older and more worthy servants of the party had chosen for his advisers and assistants several indi viduals of but little, if any, political reputation some of whom were notorious for almost any other qualification than such as fitted them for the stations l,hey now occdpy. has been suggested that {" Old Zack " made these appointments upon the same principle that the owner of dog recommended him las first rate bear hunter. He had tried him at everything else, and found him good for nothing. SO he concluded he must certainly be good for bear hunting.
 The mystery of the formation of the cabinet seems now about to be explained. We shall next week publish a commu nicaton to the Philadelphia Ledger, containing a complete exposition of the history of "the executiv eoctave." In reference to this correspondence the Washington Union says: " The account bears upon its face abundant marks of authenticity, and have no doubt of Its entire correctness, and of its title to full confidence. The neutral position of the writer has given him facli ties for collecting the materials of his history which few if any others possessed The account shows very clearly that Gen. Taylor had but very
 little to do with the formation of his cabinet, he has since had with its operations in fact with the government itself. He appears throughout, in the scenes preliminary to the installation of his admin istrstion, as he has subsequently,, the simple minded and unconscious instrument and tool of the willy and interruptions men into whose hands he has thrown himself, and who care not for him, nor his future reputation, but are intent upon their own personal aggrandzement, and the advancement of their ambitious schemes
 But Obserper has not related all the facts in connection with Mir. Collamer's appointment. We understand that gentleman was an applicant for almost anything in the gift of the new admnistra- ton. Certainly his aspirations did not reach to seat in the cabinet. We are informed that he de- sired and expected bureau at the most; and at the very instant it was determined to give him place In the cabinet, he had enlisted the aid of the two Senators from Vermont to secure him bureau ap- poinlment. Taking his qualifications and his aspi- rations into consideration, his case is remarkable
 instance in which, as the dramatic bard has said,
 greatness has been thrust upon man, to the aston.
 ishment of the world and the surprise of himself'

HcRNRLE AFFRAY.-We learn from a gentle man just from Kentucky, that a Madison county, Ky meeting was held for the purpose of discuss ing the question of emancipation, at which were present Cassius NJ. Clay and Mir. - Turner, Some warm words arose between these gentlemen. and insult followed. Pistols were drawn and both parties failed in effsctng fire Bowie knives were then rescried to, and deadly conflict ensued. Clay was supposed, would prove mortal, and Turner was cut by Clay in the abdomen so deeply that he died in few hours. These are all the particulars we have heard.

FATAL DUEL.--The Louisville papers give an account ofa duel between John Gray and Henry c. Pope, both of that city, in which the latter. who was the challenger, was killed. The weapons were shot guns. loaded with ounce balls or slugs; the distance twenty psces. Capt Pope was shot through the left ihigh-the ball shattering the hip bone and passing through to the right side. The friends of Capt Pope afterwards placed him In skiff for the purpose of hurrying him home. but he died during the passage from tho effect of the wound.

The Gordon'' was lashed along side and being towed by the steamer Armstrong. and the mate, falling between the two boats, was probably 90 much stunned by striking the boat in his fall to be unable to make an effort to save him self The boats were instantly stopped, the yawl lowered, and every efEor. used to rescue him, or at least to recover the body, but without success

 From the warmth aud interes; with which many asprants for the honor of being the next representa-

This will not proba-

Taylor that he was "Nor party candidate" It shows how jusiy every honest advocate of the Taylor party is in- eenseG at the reckless disregard of honor and truth the utter faihessness of their candidate This dis cOnent and dissatisfaction is increasing throughout the country.
