NEW YORK, Nov. 6tn, 1901.
?. Mr.. .EDIToR within the past week, sew
eral matters, as the renowned wilkins Micau-
Der would express it. have "turned mp" wor-
thy Of note. of a few of which I shall make
honorable mention.
First and foremost and probably the most
important, is the result Of the elections in this
city and State. The democrats swept the
board, and carried every thing before them;
at least .'as far as heard FROM" They have
wrested the sceptre from the wing administra-
ton of the city. and from present appearances,
the administration at Washington will by and
by share the same fate. Former precedences
will warrant this conclusion, as believe that
the wings have never ruled twice in succession
since the formation of the government. The
question now for the democrats to settle among
themselves is, who shall be placed at the helm
OF State, as there can be bat little doubt to
their success. Who THE man will be, is yet in
the womb of futurity. God grant that their
selection may be judicious one, and that he
may be the instrument to heal the wounds, and
settle the disputes among the sisters of this
great family, and bring about peace and har-
mony, as well as renown and prosperity.
"Alas what fall was there, my country
men" may very appropriately be quoted in
relation to the movements Of kossuth. IL is
known that our government sent one of its
handsomest war steamers 10 him with tenders
of regard and of hospitality, and an offer of an
asylum here against all the world. This was
done a, the risk of provoking war with Aus
tria which despotic land would no doubt have
been aided by another despotic land, Russia.
Mr.. Kossuth goes on board this war steamer,
where he learns that the radicals of England
we believe that it is the entire people-are
anxious to do him honor. This tickles his
vanity, so he demands of the captain of the
Mississippi that he shall be taken to South
amption. But that gentlemen has private in
structons from his government that puts it
out of his power to touch at that port. Kos
suth then leaves the vessel and goes on board
an English war steamer-a proceeding which
is regarded by many, as slight, if not an in
suit to our government.
Capt. Long loves the stars and stripes better
than his bread and butter, and will never see
them dishonored if in his power to prevent it.
He is an American Naval officer, and would
give passengers to understand that his dis-i-
pline allowed no one to talk with the man at
the wheel. Kossuth has, fear, mistaken his
man. and probably this people and country.
Kate Hayes has been delghting the good
people of Gotham with her sweet and delicious
warnings. for the past week. and from the rush
for seats, would imagine that her stay
will be heightened to an indefinite period
Last evening she gave complimentary benefit
to the great apostle of temperance the Rev.
Father Matthew, and it was decided failure,
not her singing, but the House. There was not
a half house and l would imagine that it has
been the first time the swan of Erin has sung
to empty benches for these many months.
Phillips Fire Annihilator is kicking up a
dust Just now among the incredulous portion
of our ciuzens, and is sagely said to be another
of the immortal Barnum's humbugs, and
shrewdly suspect it is. The comic papers have
some very ludicrous cuts of it and Barnum,
which create no little amusement among the
humorous. Mr.. B. is manfully defending him
self but fear he will have to knock under,
and cry out 'peccari.'' My humble opinion is
that it is one grand speculation.
The latest arrivals from California bring lots
OF the glittering DUST with good news from the
digsins. The Law Company has concluded to
run an extra trip. the rush to that country is
so great. Every ship is full to overHowing
and when the commercial revolution takes
place, DAY Boat" will have to be put on TO
supply the demand.
The market is dull and drooping-cotton
has declined penny within month. with a
prospect of it going farther downwards No
less than five failures among Jobbers and Bro
kers last week, there is al. ''ortul' time coming
so stand from under. Yours SC,
M'*s*s*e.
