NEw-HAMPsHIRE,-SynPtomS Of Chaos.
Rev. JOHN ATwooD, the regular Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor, has been
writing another letter (his fourth, we be-
lieve,) on the subject of the Compromise
and the Fugitive Slave Law. 1t is half
and-half, but on the whole looks rebel
lion at the Peace Measures and we sus-
pect will be considered by the Hunker
leaders fair pretext for throwing the wri-
ter overheard. Mr.. Sawyer, the Wing
candidate for Governor, being likewise OPP
posed to the Fugitive Slave Law, plan
is on foot TO call new Democratic State
Convention, nominate the present Govern
or, Samuel Dinsmore, rally the Cotton
Wings TO his support, and elect him if pos
sible. 1t looks as though there would be
a considerable spell Of weather in New
Hampshire this Spring, and that some of
the faithful up in Coos will need to have
their hats chalked afresh by Isaac Hill or
Frank Pierce to keep them from voting
Federal by mistake.

Mr.. EwBANK.-Our readers will under
stand that we don't believe word of the
Telegraphic rumor given in our last that
THOMAS EwBANK, Commissioner of Pat
ents, has been asked to resign by the Presi-
dent. If the President knows any good
reason for removing Mr.. Ewbank, he knows
what is his own duty in the premises, and
is not afraid to do it; if he knows no such
reason, (which we presume is the fact) he
is not the man to go sneakingly to work to
make a vacancy in the Patent Office. The
story is manifestly humbug, like another
which we received by Telegraph last night
and kicked under the table.
There is general row now in progress
among patentees and patent-thieves at
Washington and all about; but who are the
inventors and who the pirates we don't
pretend to decide. As they fight their bat
tie over the head of Mr.. Ewbank, he can
hardly dodge all their rotten eggs, but who
ever knows him and charges him with dis
honesty is willful calumniator. Whatever
may be the din raised about his ears, we
trust he will never resign while any charges
or insinuations of malconduct on his part
are in existence.

~ The Massachusetts Coalition made
another miss-fre in the House yesterday,
though they carried Mr.. Sumner on one
ballot within four votes of choice, giving
him clear majority of all the votes cast
in both Houses-but majority of each
House is required to elect him, and that
1--WE now believe) he is not destined to re-
ceive. Good SO A coalition that bursts
up is sure break down to both parties en-
gagged in it. The Wings will easily carry
the State and elect Mr.. WINTHROP or Gov.
BmoGs next year. Very possibly they
may choose Mr.. Winthrop Governor and
Gov. Briggs U. S. Senator.

kF Missouri has at last chosen HENRY
S. GEYER, (Whig,) United States Sena-
tor for six years in place of Col. THOMAS
II. BENTON, superseded, after service OF
thirty years-the longest, we believe, that
any man ever served in the U. S. Senate
uninterruptedly. Col. Benton was the au-
tocrat of Missouri for more than twenty
years, carrying her whithersoever he
would. In 1914, he stood by Van Buren,
when the South went mad for Annexation
and insisted that Van should be thrown
overheard for opposing it. In this strug-
ole, Col. BIS influence received a blow
from which it never recovered. He Sc
cured his reelection, however, though by
severe struggle, and disgraced himself by
voting for and thus carrying the measure
which he had most sweepingly opposed
and denounced. 1t was no secret that his
support of Gen. Cass was not cordial, but
he stuck to the party. But gradually the
elements of opposition in his own party in
Missouri were gathered into a mass which
his industry and influence were unable to
withstand, after he had filled their hands
with potent weapons by opposing the ON
nibus' of last Session. But for that Oppo-
sition, we believe he would now be Sena-
tor-elect for the six years ensuing But
for this, his old supporters and disciples
could not have been induced to vote for a
Wing to defeat him. We suspect this ends
Col. Benton's public life, though he has
already proclaimed himself candidate for
the House from the st. Louis District at
the election of 1852.
Col. GErER, the new Senator, has not
been much if at all in public life, but is an
eminent lawyer of St. Louis OF upright
character, decided talents and unwavering
Wing principles. He is the first Wing
elected from Missouri since Col. David R.
Barton.

CITY ITEMS.

The COMMON COUNcIL.-In the Board of Al
dermen yesterday it was decided to offer re-
ward of $500 for the detection or arrest of the
murderer of Dominick Lambright. Alderman
Delamater presented a resolution, proposing to
extend the Perrine pavement from Duane to
Houston-st. Several Of the small streets run
ming from Broadway to the North River, were
ordered to be lighted with gas, and $1,000 was
appropriated for building house in Thirty-third-
st. for Hose Company No. AZ.
The Board of Assistants concurred last evening
in the resolution to complete the Telegraphic
communication between the different bell towers
and also that the fire bells strike the hour of nine
every evening. They also reported adverse to
extending the track Of Hudson River Railroad
to Broadway, and against extending the Harlem
track to the south end of the Park, if conditioned
that the fare must be reduced.
OUR GRAND OPERA HOUSE, IN PROSPECT
The perspective through which we have been
looking at the possible establishment Of an Opera
House worthy the metropolis of hemisphere, is
rapidly shortening, and our hope is now little
short of a positive certainty. When we an
nounced, a few weeks ago, that negotiations were
in progress for the purchase of Stuyvesant lot
and the erection of a magnificent Opera House
thereon, we were perfectly correct, notwithstand-
ing the doubts of some Of our slow cotemporaries
Circumstances have hitherto delayed the settle
ment of the affair, but yesterday it was accom-
plished and the contract signed by the two par
ties. Lumley is not the purchaser, as was at
first understood. Mr.. Tripler was at one time in
treaty for the lot, in connection with other par
ties, and is now in Havana for the purpose of
engaging Signor MART to join the enterprise. 1t
is proposed, we understand, to erect a magni6-
cent Opera House, capable of holding six thou
sand persons, and by fixing the prices at mode
rate rate and securing the great singers Of Eu
rope, to give New York an Opera which shall vie
with the Wanted houses of London and Paris. 1t
is a bold and grand undertaking, bat we have
faith in its success.
