RETURNING TO HIS FIRST LovE.-The
Paris correspondents of the Journal Of Com.
merce, gives currency to report, generally
credited there, al last dates, that Count Pull
sky has pelitioned the Austrian Government
Cor leave to return, promising important dis.
closures. II this be so, it is melancholy
commentary, no, only upon the personal
character Of Pulsky himself, but Of the stuff
Of which European Liberalism is made.
Those who listened TO Pulsky's objurgations
against Austria, in this country, and his eu-
logies of Kossuth's Republicanism, will best
understand what we mean. Pulsky, we be-
lieve, never professed much Republicanism
himself but then nobody ever dreamed that
he would be SO ready to go back to Austria!

Il brings out more sorrel than grass"
The Locos are now reaping the first sea-
sons crop. The rest will be along in due
time.
Nor RIGHT.-The Cincinnati papers say
that Mr.. Douglas, the Agent for the Wash.
inglon Monument Association in Cincinnati,
claims t,Oenty per cent. Of the 81 200 con-
Iributed TO the Washington fund on election
day. This should not be tolerated for mo-
ment. Let the officers in charge Of it remit
a, once to tho Treasurer a. Washington. 1t
would bo an outrage TO put some $500 of
this fund into the hands Of the agent. He
is not entitled 10 cen, Of it.
