BosToN, JAM Z.
The perfect organization of the government is still
delayed by The questions before the Senate in relation
20 the election of Senators from Essex. An Informal
lily was alleged in the Salem election, which, if it had
beea sufficient aside the vote OF that city, would
make the Free Soil candidates, those from which the
selection must be made to Gil the vacancies in thai
county. The petitioners had hearing before the Com
mittee yesterday, and to-day leave given to with
dFa the petition 50 that the election must be made
from the Wing candidates, but two to be chosen
and the four highest candidates all Wings. This
is owing the split which was made in that county by
The bunker democrats Another petition has come in
from Lynn Offset for that from Salem alleging in
tormalities in the election in that place. The Commit
tee has granted hearing thereon, tomorrow morning.
and is reported that it will fJlow the course of the
Salem petition The election of Senators will pro-
baby be made Tomorrow, when the two Houses
will be prepared proceed with the choice of other Of

The confidence have uniformly felt, of the election
OF Free Soil Senator Congress, for the six years
from the 4th of March is unabated and il does not re-
1uire the gift OF topredict that the man to be
chosen will be CHARLES SUMNER. Approaching as
as highly as any other his eminent talents, his pro
fund literary and legal requirements the beauty of his
moral character, his self sacrificing spirit and his al
most world wide reputation one of the purest phi

ted States. place where these qualifications with the
additional one of being ready debator and skllu
taetcian could not fail to place him among the most ac
tive and influential members Of that body But ma
ority of the free soil members of the legislature whie
they have the highest appreciation of his talents anc
worth, have differed from those who prefer him to the
considerations which should influence and govern our
choice and bow in submission to their will, feeling
just pride in having taco men, both of whom can pre-
sent such high claims for preterment.

COINAGE OF THE UNITED STATES The
scarcity of silver coin is beginning attract the at
teuton and to call out suggestions for some means of
supplying the deficiency. There are two gold coins
now IN limited circulation. which have failed to re-
alize the expeditions of those who procured the
authority of Congress for their issue. The dnIinu.
tive size of the s piece renders it comparatively
useless for the common transactions Of trade, from
the liability to loss. A coin Of the same value, en-
larged by the increase Of alloy or by Ingenious con-
irivance, would be popular and valuable. The $20
pieces is Of ntle value, as a circulating agent fom
the disposition Of the poorer classes to hoard up
coins Of such value. If the Mint was instructed to
confne its operations to the smaller denominations
now authorized by law, and Congress would direc-
the coinage Of pieces nomna.ly varying from 81 to
IS, much Of the annoyance which is likely to be
occasoned by the withdrawal Of silver as a crcul
ting medium would be obyiaied. There may be
better modes Of relieving the difficulty than that
which have suggested; but in any event, the sub
ect is well worthy Of the prompt attention of Con-

PERSONAL IDENTITY.-The fIlOw n! curious
cases showing the mistakes which may sometimes
occur in the identity Of an individual, are copied
from English paper.
GA Young gentleman articIed to- an attorney in
London, was tried on five indictments for different
acts of theft. A person, resembling the prisoner in
size and general appearance had called at various
! hops in the metropolis, for the purpose of looking
lewery, books and other articles with the pre- en-
| led intention of making purchases, but made off
with the property placed before him. while the shop
keepers engaged in looking out other articles

honesty. Similar depredations other tradesmen
had been committed by person resembling the pris-
oner, and those persons proved that, though there
| was a considerable resemblance TO the prisoner he
vas not the person who had robbed them The
prisoner was convicted one indictment but ac-
quilted on all the others; and the Judge and Jurors
who tried the three last cases expressed their con-
vcton that the prisoner had been mistaken and that
the prosecutors hid been robbed by an Their person

Not many months before the last mentioned case,
a respectable young man was tried for highway
robbery, committed in the neighborhood of BethnaI
Green, in which neighborhood both he and the pros
ecutor resided. The prosecutor swore positively that
the prisoner the man who robbed hun Of his
watch The counsel for the prisoner called gen

plete alibi The prosecutor then ordered out of
court, and in the interval another young man. of the
name of Greenwood, who awaited his trial on
capital charge of felony, introduced, and placed
by the side of the prisoner. The prosecutor was
again placed in the witness box, and addressed thus

The young man of course acquitted. Green

and few hours before his death acknowledged that
he had committed the robbery with which the ether
was charged
