i" The Solidarity OF the Peoples"- Natu
rallied, but not Assimtlated.

The execution Of Grunzig, in New York, for the
murder of his wife, has excited the German pop
ulation of that city to degree of furious resent
ment that may yet prove disastrous to themselves
The funeral of Grunzig was conducted on Sunday
week, and attended by solemn procession of
three thousand persons, including Free Masons
and other societies. The pageant, it is said, was
very imposing, and every possible effect was
given to render it expressive of the disapprobaton
of this people. 1t appears that Grunzig and his
wife and his mistress lived together, and that his
preference was for the latter his most recent
love- The wife perished,
The six or eight German newspapers all de-
pounce the verdict the sentence, and the execu-
ton; and some of them in very plain terms de-
nounce the institution of marriage "aninstitution
with which society torments ITSELF" Had Grun-
zig not been legally bound to his welded wife,
the necessity Of her murder would not have ex-
isted. Thisis the argument.
Naturalization, social, moral, religious and po-
litica, is too little attended to in our country in
these latter days

LOVIIHiu
The Police System.

10 The honorable the Board of Aldermen and Board
Of Common Council Of the city Of WasAmgtoa:
! The undersigned petitioner, one of the tax
payers of the city of Washington, respectfully
represents to your honorable bodies that in his
opinlon-and he feels no hesitation in saying that
the monthly returns of the Chief of Police will
demonstrate-the present police system of the
city Will bring the Corporation in debt at least
five thousand dollars yearly which deficit will
have to be paid out of the general fund Your
petitioner thinks that this amount could be better
appropriated In the improvement of our streets
&c particularly as this branch of the business
of our Corporation can be better attended to- and
that, too, without the expenditure Of single
dollar of the peoples money. Your petitioner
will endeayor to show your honorable bodies how
this can be effected. In the first place. let every
magistrate be authorized to act as police magis-
trate, and every constable as police constable,
whose fees shall be the same as are now paid in
CIVIL eases. Give to the police constable one-haf
OF all fines made by him, and his costs and actual
/ expenses in all cases conveyed to the workhouse
which Inter item shall be certified by the commit
ting magistrate before payment. The magistrate
shall make monthly returns of all cases tried by
him. Thus you will see that every officer will have
an incentive to do his duty: for the ''no work,
no pay " principle will be so prominently before
his eyes, that vigilance, industry, and activity
will be his motto. In this way your honorable
bodies will perceive that the Corporation will re.
ceive revenue from the police system, instra.I
of paying for the service; and instead of having
fifteen police officers, there will be double that
number. AS it now is, about one-half of the
constables have nothing to do with the police
and, of course, do not give themselves any con-
Germ when they witness n violation Of the police
regulations of our city, and, as a consequence,
hundreds "go unwhipt of Justice" while the
other half are paid, whether they work or not.
A TAXPAYER.
MEssRs. EDITORS: You will confer a favor on
"a taxpayer" by publishing the above petition
to our City Councils, that the public may see
that, for the fiscal year ending June next, THE
PEOPLE are likely to pay pretty dear for the
first years experiment in the police line

Our correspondents must excuse u.s. The re-
building of this market-house is local question,
to be decided by the First -Warders themselves.
We will not participate in any controversy re-
specting it. Nor would our readers approve of
the publication of extended articles on the sub
ject. <s...
| One writer who processes to have no individual
interests to subserve, thinks the new building
should be on x street, because it now mars n
beautiful location. He says that K street is
WIDE and would admit of the indefinite extension
of the building ....
| Another thinks the present locality convenient,
central, and in every way desirable; and that
some kind of guaranty has been given to those
whose business has been established at their
present stands with reference to this market.
We are quite sure that the city authorities will
be guided by the will Of the people interested in
| this matter, and we trust that win my be de.
liberately, candidly, and clearly expressed.
The "Intelligencer Of this morning says:
"Many of the butchers benches, vegetable
stands, &c., were, however, saved, SO that the
usual market was held yesterday morning. The
City Councils last evening voted the sum of 1915
to weatherboard in the walls or lines Of pillars
left standing, in order to accommodate tempora,
ry the wants of the market. @i
GA Ward meeting of the citizens is to be held
this evening" as learn, to take the sense of the
people respecting the location of such new mar
ket-house as may hereafter be built Whilst
some are friendly to a change of place, others
advocate the continuation of the market at the
same spot We apprehend that considerable
discussion will ensue before this matter will be
settled"

Silver Coinage.

In the Senate, yesterday, Mr. Hunter, from
the Committee on Finance, reported bill in re,
ation to the coinage Of the halfdollar, guar
ter-dollar, dimes and halfdimes
The bill was accompanied with n report set
ting forth the necessity of an immediate change
in the silver coin of the United States, in order
to prevent its expectation to Europe where it
bears relative higher value to gold than it
does here.
This bill provides that from and after the lst
of June, 1852, the weight of the halfdolar is
to be l92 grains; and the quarter dollars, dimes,
and halfdimes, shall be respectively one-half,
one-ffth, and one-tenth of the weight of half
dollar; which coin is made legal tender IN
payment of all sums not exceeding SIS. The
Treasurer Of the Mint with the approval of
the Director to purchase such bullion as is re-
quired for the coinage with the bullion Of the
mint. Such coins to be paid out at the mint
in exchange for gold coins at par, ip sums of
not less than 500. The amount coined into
quarter-dollars, dimes. and half-dimes, to be
regulated by the Secretary Of the Treasury.
No deposites for coinage into small pieces here
after to be received, other than that received
by the Treasurer of the Mint. Depositors have
the option of having Their gold or silver cast
into bars or ingots of pure metal or of standard
fneness, with stamp designating the same.
No piece to be cast into bars of less weight
than ten ounces, except pieces of one two,
three, and five ounces, all of which shall be of
the standard fneness, with the weight and
fneness stamped upon them
The new silver coin is to be legal tender
only to the amount of five dollars, but it is to
be receivable in payment of public dues, and
to avoid the change that such demand for the
np rOlp 90 rnin rive IN ho ,psn pf ho
general currency of the country the bill pro-
vides that the new coin shall not be struck
upon the demand of depositors, but under the
direction of the Secretary of the Treasury who
can thus always limit the amount.
The bill also provides for the coinage of SO
gold pieces the shape and device of which
are to be fixed by the Secretary of the Treas
ury.
The committee have also adopted the recon-
mendation of the Secretary Of the Treasury in
relation to q seignorage and say;
"Ihe mints of this country are likely to be-
come as expensive, and the quantities Of the
precious metals manufactured in them are al
ready so large, that it would seem to be proper
to impose some legal charge upon the manu-
tacture for the purpose Of sustaining the mints
The amount of seignorage is question of some
practical difficulty, but the charge now pro-
posed is somewhat less than that exacted in
England or France. In France the charge is
one half per cent. on gold and one and a half
per cent. upon silver. In England, one and a
half per cent, is paid upon gold and two and
one-eighth per cent, upon silver. We propose
to charge to depostors one-half of one cent for
both gold and silver denying them, however,
the right Of having the new silver coin struck
on their own accounts"

The Seamstress.

The Seamstress.
BY NJ. r. CARPENTER.
All the day long and half of the night
Her needle she busily piled
Haggard and worn, pitiful sight,
She labored, yet food was denied,
Winter winds blew her wretched home through,
Yet the fire was dead on the hearth;
Hungry and cold with shame be it told
y That ever such scenes are on earth. ..
Low the light burns---her needle and thread
Must haste or the light will be gone;
Pay for tho work to purchase her bread
y Is withheld till the garment is done.
Pickering the light in middle OF night
Goes out as the last stitch is drawn;
We try and chill on her pallet so i'll,
She seeks for repose till the dawn.
Morning at last with joy giving beams,
Illumines the hills of the blessed
Who through the night, in slumbers sweet dreams
Their warm downy couches have pressed;
Gloomily fall those beams like pail
On the homes where wretched ones stay.
Where scarce begun their rest when the sun
Warns them to labor away.
But unto her, the seamstress though young,
The morning brings anguish and tears
Tears, scalding tears, by sternest want wrung,
And she in the spring of her years.
Cheerless and drear her home doth appear,
So desolate, squalid, and bare,
And hours of toll by the midnight oil
Will bring but scanty meal there.
Look on that form, once faultless and fair
On that cheek where once bloomed the rose
Labor and want, and hopeless despair,
At once their sad havoc disclose.
Strange, is it not, if she on whose lot
The sunshine of hope never CLEANS,
Still should remain as free from all stain
As dew in the morns early beams?
Stingingly cold, a bleak winters day,
Yet fuel and food she had none; ,.
Cold to 60 forth, but colder to stay,
She folds up the garment last DONE
Scantily clad, with heart worn and sad,
She ventures abroad in the blast
Wofui to tell, the pence earned SO we'll
Will sparingly break her long fast
Day after day, and night after night
She is working and wasting away
Striving so well, oh say, is it right
That want on her young form should prey
Blessed ones of earth, around whose warm hearth
The cold winds never may play,
Look not with scorn on the seamstress forlorn,
Whose life is one long winters day.
Even though she, the wretched and worn,
Depart from the path of the pure;
Pause ye and think how drear her life's morn,
How much she was born to endure
Let her wants hide the errors which pride
Is ever the first to contemn;
Think of the grief that found no relief
And pity before you condemn
