HuNKERlsM AND FREE SonIsM-The represcn-
tatives of the two factions into which the demo.
cratic party of the State of New York is divided,
have each published an address to their respective
constituents, which appeared in their several or
gans. In tone both are conciliatory, and justify
the opinion that there will be eventually reunion.
Inc hunkers have not appointed day for their
convention, but suggest that both parties shall hold
'nein al the same time and place. and that, if prac
tcablc, the nominations for the next State election
shal be OF such complexion as to make them ac
ceptable to all This certainly evinces concilia-
tory spirit. The barnburners maintain ,bo;r rroo
soil attitude, and have appointed Utica. and the
twelfth of September next, as their place and time
for holding their convention. We see no,b;nr
very striking in either address.

The GOVERNMENT JEWELS AaAIN,-Anolher at
tempt will be made, this week, it is said, to cor
vict Shuser, alias Tom Hand, at Washington,
on a charge of stealing the government jew
els. 1t having been found, by the judgment of
the previous jury, that something was wanting to
insure verdict of guilty, the public authorities at
Washington. and certain other parties in the ada
cent cities, have been busily engaged in hunting up
further evidences and witnesses.
One Of the new points to be produced on the
next trial will be, the production OF fragments of the
glass bottle said to have contained the altar of rose
This evidence has been procured from the bottom
of sink, on the premises previously occupied by
Shuster, in Philadelphia. The information re-
specting the whereabouts or this bottle came direct
from the master spirit in the affair, for who else
could tell the secrets at the bottom of a well That
individual has been the grand Dictator manager,
and panner, from beginning to end; and is looked
upon in Washington as one of the wonders of the
present age.
We are glad to see, at last, however, that the
government are beginning to bestir themselves;
and we hope soon to see good deal OF the mys-
terry cleared up. We learn that there is evil
dence now in the hands of Mr.. Stewart, the clerk
of police of this city, which, when brought to light
before jury of twelve honest men, will place
another person in the feloN's box with Shuster.
1t matters not to the public whether the jewels
are recovered or not but it is very important to
the community, that accomplished rogues, such as
were engaged in this robbery, should be placed

LEG isI.ATrvE INvEsrio ATIoNs.-The course of the
last Legislature reference 10 the affairs Of the city
Of New York, has been very judicous and praise
worthy. Understanding that the alms-house de-
ra,,ment of our municipal government was con-
ducted in most corrupt, reckless and mprovident
manner, tina, body rc-organizcd il on an entirely
different basis, and put il on such footing, and
incorporated with II so many checks and counter
checks, that we can reasonably hope for more
faithful discharge of the functions attached to it,
than we have ever experienced under the old sys-
tenn For this, the taxpayers of our city cannot
but be thankful.
Again. Tie Legislature promptly responded to the
aponi2ing cry of relief, which reached them at AL
bany, On the general system Of corrupt government
which we have so long suffered under, and nj
ed our charter in such a manner as to give
sponsibilify in every bureau ard department Of
municipal administration. BY these amendments,
which were tliumphantly carried at the late charter
eection,we will be enabled, after it shall have gone
into operation to detect any corrupt practices that
may be INDUCED in by any officer under the
city government, and hold the perpetrator
countable, and punish him according to law, as
guilty of a misdemeanor For this, too, we are
grateful.
The last SUBJECT cCHiecteu WIN our municipal al
fairs which, in the opinion of the Legislature, JUS
tilted their interference, was the manner in which
assessments for opening streets-and particularly
the affair of the Bloomingdae road-were made
They had not information enough before them on
which to base legislative action; but, understanding
that there was something rotten in the manner
in which those assessments were made, they APP
pointed a committee Of investigation, whose duty
it is to scrutinize the manner in which those as
scssments have been imposed during the recess.
We are delighted at this, and we call upon the
committee to energy and industry in the dis
charge of their duties. They have some three
months before them within which to find mate
rails fer their report; and we are perfectly well
satisfied that, if they go to work in thorough
manner, and are animated with desire to detect
and expose corruption, they will find instances of
fraud, repeated year after year, that will astound
the community They have it in their power to
reveal to tie light of day perfectly wholesale
system of fraud and iniquity, by which the tax
paying people of New York have been swinded,
year after year, of portion of their means, for the
benefit of political trickscrs and their friends. We
call upon them to make such an investigation, and
we promise that they will find abundance of such
materials as we have described We shall look
with interest for their report.
