CftV Politics.

The senior Democratic General Committee did not
meet last night in consequence Of the continued illness
Of their chairman, Augustus Sche Esq who has not
yet recovered from the serious injuries Inflicted upon
him during the riot the other night.
The Young Mems Democratic General Committee met,
Hon. John Wheeler the chairman presiding After tho
preliminary business Of The committee had been disposed
Of resolution was offered on the part of the barnburn
and foft shells (who in minority Of that body
in which the action OF the General Committee some
what called in question: in reference to the appointment
Of inspectors spirited debate occurred, after which
the whole subject laid the table thereby virtually
without doubt appoint the inspectors they did on the
9th Of August last.
The committee then adjourned, after passing unani.
Of thanks TO their chairman, the Hon John
Wheeler for the able and impartial in which he
had presided during the past year.

the magnificent advantages which France would de-
rive from this solution Of the question. which would
not cost US either . centime or . soldier. Let it
suffice for us to cali to mind that Spain has hence
forth only single interest in her ancient colony,
and that is that it be not occupied by Epgland by
the United States. As to these two powers, they
have, in advance consecrated freedom Of action
in the matter, in not having, their side, spared
any exertion to draw the Domnicans into their
orbit
Our readers have now before them the solution
Of the problem. They see what is the object which
France contemplates in taking possession, with her
squadron, Of the peninsula of SANTANA, which COM
mands the Mona passage, between Hayti and Porto
Rico. SANTANA is a most important position, which
would be used as naval station by France; and in
the hands Of such q power it would, in event Of
q future war between that nation and ours, give
them the key of the whole Of the West India
islands. 1t remains, however, to be seen whether
our government will take any steps to pre-
vent the accomplishment Of this grand scheme,
SO menacing to our future political and com
mercial interests. Every such foothold gained
by an European power on this continent, or
its adjacent islands, is inincal to the we'll being
of this republic, and under efficient administra-
ton would never be tolerated If the Dominicans
need protectorate, let it be extended to them by
this republic but let this not be made the ,use
for France to gain possession Of an important point
whence our commerce round Cape Horn could be
affected. In the meantime, we may ask what has
become Of General Duff Green and his emigrants,
who were to have extended their protection TO the
little republic? If they have already gone, there
will be no need of any further assistance to repel
Soulouque and his savsges but if they are still
waiting, we are afraid their reception-now that
the French have got into the island-would be any
thing but cordial or gratifying. AS the question
between Purser Smith and the Captain General of
Cuba has been satisfactorily arranged, the admins.
tration have leisure to turn their attention to Hay
We expect they will do So

DECREASE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL VorE oE GEoR.
GA 1t would have been fair to presume thai,
among the various stripes and shades Of Presidential
tickets that were offered at the last election in
Georgia, the voters might all have found something
that would have suited their peculiar political no.
tions But such il seems was not the case Not
withstandpg that five different sets Of electors were
presented, all holding different views on some Of the
leading questions, and marshslled under different
banneIs-such as the democratic, whig, Union, Tu
gallo and TIoupy yet these not sufficient to draw
out the voters of the State by 81 432 as compared
with the aggregate vote of 1913 Verify, the prarie
dogs, and OWLS and rattlesnakes' of Georgia do
not live tremendously together

Music IN NEW YoRK.-In enumerating the various
musical artists performing in the United States,
we purposely omitted those in the city, becau
thought from their daily advertisements, readers
were familiar with them, and we rather turned our
attention to those thatwere operating at distance
We are reminded, however, that in addition to the
promised opera of Madame Sontag, we are to have
Meretzek here from Mexico, in very short time,
with Steanope, Merini, and the rest of his troupe
and he TOO, will give us a taste Of his quality. A
letter has been received from him stating his nten-
tion to leave on the first Of this month 1t is said
Alboni is also to appear in opera in this city So
that We have prospect Of music in abundance for
the winter and spring In the meantime, we have
Madame Anna Thillon at Niblo's, enchanting the
audience every night in Eoglish OPERA ably assisted
by Hudson and others. Then We are to have EGG
lish opera on Monday evening at the Broadway
theatre, when Miss Richipgs, Mr.. r. Bishop, and
Others, will appear in new piece We are further
informed that Mrs Seguin, the accomplished vocal
ist, is about to open Academy of music, after the
fashion of the Royal Academy Of England, but on
smaller plan for the present.

HOUSE, MuKDER IN NEW YORK According to
an examination Of tho ruins Of the house which fell
in Thirty second street the other day IL has been
found that part of the foundation, although in
swaupy location, had been disturbed. The real
cause of the disaster resulted from the want of su
oient limo in the mortar and the thinness of the
walls The brick taken from the ruins looked as
clean and as free from the contact Of mortar of any
kind as though they kad never besn used. One Of
the hands employed By the masons stated that the
mortar employ cd was nearly all common earth, or
mould. One of the masons remarked that $50 worth
Of lime would have saved the bailding. Consequently
$50 would have saved the lives of three or more
human beings, and Others from being manned for life
1t was not long since VIII ,le block fell in Twenty
first street, killing number Of laborers. Other
houses, just covering in, seem to have been
run up in the same reckless manner, AID do
signed for coloniziDg families in every room,
which, when occupied, should they fall, the result
would be attended with a fearful loss o. life. The
carelessness in building and blasting in New York
has converted the island into q sort of slaagh-
ter house Where vas there ever city before in
which such things would be tolerated? Where are
the house inspectors, talked about some time ago
Parties erecting brick bulldogs, four and five sto
ries high, without the proper use of lime mortar,
know them to be wholly unsafe, and if loss Of life
happens through their avarice they should be So
verey punished.

Squall, or the Whirlwind, or the Sea Serpent, or
the Shooting star! You would be sorry to hear,
We are sure. that the Witch Of the Wave had been
buried beneath it's crest; that the Messenger Bird
had never reached its home; that the Flying Cloud
had vanished-qui.e independently Of the feelings
which bid you sympathise with any vessel laden
with human beings Truly, indeed, has that glori
GUS bark, with bending mast and shining sail, been
christened the Gem of the Ocean-never pearl was
fairer. Westward, Ho! touches tender chord in
your heart; you wonder not that the Winged Ar
row, or the Tornado
Should rend the cliugipg see
That flies before the roaring wind,
Beneath her Kissing lee.
The Bald Eagle prepares you for portly vessel,
with frownipg bulwarks and majestic sweep; the
Nightingale coDjWes up at once model OF gra,e
and symmetry and the Sea King carries you away,
away back among the Norsemen, and you see
with sudden flaw,
Round come the gusty sksw.
For these, we can forgive many relapse into The
tier, and the Sea Nymph and Sea Witch expiatc the
Fixing Cbilders and the Hornet. Though We can
not love, we may sympathise with John Gilpin, and
trust he will be more successful in his race than his
prototype; ard even Rip Van Wrinkle himself,
roufed from his secular slumber, is entitled to our
kindly feelings. The Tingqua, the Sooloo, and the
