PAY AND SKRvIcE.--The Democratic Sem
ate, in calling for statement Of the moneys
paid to General Scott for public services,
will not merely call public attention to the
character Of those services, but will inevita-
bly, provoke comparison between the pau
and services Of those who arraign him. The
battles Of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane
were worth hundred times the amount re.
ceived by General Scott during forty years
of public life. And such will be the verdict
Of the American people. The British and
their allies in this country may, and very
probably will, puta very different estimate
on his services. They would have apPre-
ciated much more highly the ground and
lofty tumbling with which Gen. Pierce has
adorned our military annals.
But to the sort of service rendered by the
Hon. Senators, who think that Gen. Scott
has received too much: We find that the
following named gentlemen received the
sums respectively attached to their names,
for one nights quiet rest in Washington
under the pretense, false of course, that they
had, during the night, travelled home and re-

CONSPIRACY DISCOVERED IN ITALY.-A
letter from Rome gives some details of the
recent arrests Of members OF the revolution
ary committee, residingin Lombsrdy, Tus-
cany and the Roman States. IT appears
that the Austrian consul, at Genoa, hearing
of the death ofeperson, Lombard by birth,
went to place seals on his property, when it
was found that the deceased was one of the
paymasters ofthe Conspiracy. The mode OF
carrying on the correspondence was also dis
covered-being by means Of silk handker-
chiefs the colors Of which disappeared by
chemical washing, the writing being brought
out by the came operation. In conse-
quence of this discovery various arrests have
taken place al Fonaras and other places in
the Roman States.

The q aHitkory Iub"-Our forlorn friends
Of the other party did not succeed we'll in
getting up a meeting, Saturday evening. A
young Attorney, the Clerk Of the Court, a
Courthouse constable and dozen boys were
the audience. The lights were blown out.
The truth is, the staid Democracy of this
city, "the bone and sinew" Of the party, are
about tired OF hearing gallant and success
full General slandered by set of partizAns,
who, to use the expressive language Of
Charles Jared Ingersoll, are permitted to hold
meetings in the Court House only through
the skill and energy of General Scott and
his brave comrades. Let them talk about
the unconstitutionalty and inexpediency of
protection to American Industry, the uncon-
stitutionality and inexpediency Of River and
Harbor Improvements and the unconstilu-
tiouality and inexPediency Of sundry other
of the negative qualities of Gen. Pierce;
then defend the constitutionality and expe-
dency of religious test in State constitu-
ton and perhaps they can get those who be-
lieve that way to come and hear them we
tell them that every speech made by them
against the bravery, the skill, the patriotism,
the honesty and the capacity of the Wing
candidate, tells against them. Well do we
remember the expression of good Demo-
crat after one of these meetings---"A
few more speeches like these, and our cause
will be ruined"

AN ARTICLE is now passing through the
Democratic papers on "General Scott's quar-
rels" with public characters, among whom
Major Generals Jacob Brown and Peter b.
Porter are instanced.
On inquiry, we learn that so far from at
tempting to bring tho irst named before a
court martial, as the slanderous article rep
resents, Gen. Scott, from the beginning OF
his acquaintance with those distinguished
and iamented individuals, down to their re-
spective deaths, uniformly maintained the
most intimate and friendly relations with
each.
With respect to the other quarrels, so far
as there were quarrcls, the history Of the re-
spectiye cases illshow that Gen. Scott was,
in every instance, the assailed party, and
that he limited himself strictly TO the defen.

CoNsUMPrroN OF GoLD.-The following
curious statistics relative to the coAsump-
tiOn Of gold, were stated in lecture lately
delivered at the Geological Society of Lon
don: ~
The entire amount Of gold in circulation
ID said to be E4s, 100000, of which the wear
and waste is stated to be 81 per cent an
nually, or SI,6sO,00O. The consumption
Of gold in arts and manufactures is as fol-
lows: In the United Kingdom, e. 500, 900;
France, l,OOO,00O; Switzerland, 100000;
Other parts of Europe, l,6OO,OO0; United
States, 800 ,000---Total E6, 100000.
In Burlington alone, there IL q weekly
consumption Of gold for chains only, amount
ing 10 1000 ounces. The weekly coRsump-
tion for gold-leafin London, is 40o ounces;
in all other places in Great Britain, lS4
ounces.
One Of the potteries in Staffordshire, con-
sumes $4,000 worth of gold annually in
gliding, and the whole consumption for gila-
ihg porceiain, in England, 10 estimated a,
apoW $500 ounces annually

A Row AT TAMMANY HALL.-Somc Of the
democratic party Of New York, are again ut
logger-heads; on Friday night, or rather Sat-
urday morning, disgraceful scene occurred
at Tammany Hall. 1t appears the General
Committee VII in session until late hour,
endeavoring to compromise difficulty in
relation to the appointment Of Inspectors of
Elections, when they were not only over
awed and dispersed bya gang of rowdies,
who broke into the room at half past two
O'Clock in tho morning, but some ofthe mem
bers barely escaped with their lives. One
gentleman, Mr.. John Quinn, of the nine
teenth ward, was severely injured. and Mr..
Daniel Sickles had to risk his life by throw
ing himself out Of back window. The
rowdies were in the interest of the barD-bur
ner faction, and bore down the majority of
the committee.

auisition of the arsenal ground for public

the marine hospital; preservation OF the city
harbor;-these will be some ofthe measures
of more home character which | shall ad-
vocate."
II Col Benton don't vote for Scott, he
comes very near voting r the Wing plat
torn. He goes for a protective tariff, inter-
nal improvements, improvement ofrivers
and horbors-in fue he has not concluded
to run wild because his party does 1t i;
rather curious however, that an intelligent
man, like him, should support a candidate
who is opposed to all these, aud who will, il
one of his leading supporters in Virginia
tells the truth, veto Col. Bontcn's projects,
even if he does get them through Congress.
We invite our Locofoco friends to exam
inc Col Benton's platform and then that Of
their candidate for the Presidency. It is
not yet settled, we may add, that the dstin-
guished Missourian will vote for Pierce. Be
that as il may, with all his "yngaries," be

and may be considered more Of ON acquisi-
tion to that than the other party.

We will not permit ourselves for mo-

company, has any intention Of doing rival

heard Of, is confined to tho Central Ohio

Directors, not "among the Directories" If
the Gazette obtained its information from the
Courier, we cannot see how it got founda-
