ATTEMPT TO krDNAP.-Yesterday afternoon
the house of Richard Huntington, No. Is Sc
cond street, Chelsea, in the absence of Mr. H.,
was visited by two Irish women, with the avow-
ed purpose OF getting possession, dead or alive,
of the person of young Irish girl, an orphan
who was living with Mrs. Huntington. Mrs II.
asked them if they had any legal authority for
for taking the girl away they said no; but one
was sister and the other cousin of the girl,
and they thought they had right to her. In
reply to her inquiries, what they intended to do
with her, their only answer was to place her
under Catholic influence. They were then told
that the girl was at liberty to go with them il
she chose, but that she should not be forced
away contrary to her will. The girl declined
going with her relations; whereupon one of
them sprang upon her, and selling her by the
hair Of her head, dragged her upon the floor,
endeavoring to get her out of the house. Mrs.
III. interierred to rescue the girl, and to save
her little child, which was in the girls arms.
Upon this the infatuated women attacked Mrs.
Huntington with great violence, leaving upon
her neck and throat the marks of their assault.
She succeeded at length in breaking away from
them and reaching the door, when she called
for help, whereupon the women abandoned their
assault. and fed from the house, protesting to
those who were coming to Mrs. Huntington's
rescue that there was no trouble-no cause for
alarm. Nevertheless an officer was obtained,
and one of the parties was arrested and bound
over for trial, and the other had not been found
at last accounts.--Boston Trdreler, 10th.
We hope that this act of two ignorant wo.
men may not rekindle the holy war that ragged
in our vicinity year ago. We do not believe
that the Pope of Rome had anything to do
with it.

This is a work suitable for the holidays. The
authors aim has been innocently TO amuse. The
stories have all been told to children, in a simpler
form, before they were written, and the games, we
are told, have been played in mixed circles of al
ages. The most serious purpose in the book has
been TO show how old and young may join together
in their recreatons in the freedom of domestic life
and thus form true society, to the duties and hap
piness of which all can contribute. The author
merely asks permission TO spend few evenings
with the happy family, to introduce to their notice
some amusements which may be novel; and can
not prove injurious.
Unfortunately, the old and the young do not
always mutually strive 10 interest one another as
they should thus jointly rendering home what it
was designed TO be-sweet and pleasant TO those
sheltered within its sacred pre- cincts.

THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE
TREASURY.

We publish to-day the powerful reply of
Judge Bayly, of Virginia, to Mr.. Philips, of
Alabama, on the proposition to make the ap-
pointment of the Office of Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury one to be filed by the Presi.
dent and Senate. 1t was our purpose to have
published the whole debate on this subject, or,
at least, all the pertinent and material points Of
1t; but we learn, at late hour, just before
going to press, that our intention in this behalf
has not been fully carried out
The first speech of Judge Bayly was deliver
ed on the 22d; and it was replied to by Mr..
Philips On the 23d Judge Bayly made his
powerful rejoinder, which we publish this
morning, in which the Virginia representative,
with that manly liberality and high courtesy
which has always distinguished him, does full
credit to the talents displayed. by the member
from Alabama. This fact tends much to re-
concile US to the untoward mistake which pre-
vented us from publishing the whole debate.
If the subject should continue to demand that
consideration which its actual and intrinsic
Importance entities it to, we will avail ourselves
of the first opportunity which may present
ITSELF to lay before our readers all the speeches
of mark and note which the discussion has
called forth.
But In the meantime we must say, as frank
and candid men, that we agree with the posi-
tons which Judge Bayly has taken. 1t is true
that we have great confidence in his sound
judgment, great admiration for his eminent
abilities, and unbounded respect for the patri-
otto purity of his impulses. Yet, if we know
ourselves; neither that confidence, nor that ad-
miration, nor that respect-nor all combined
could influence our judgment about any mat
ter of public concern. We, therefore, com
mend to the attention of the people the able
speech We publish this morning, because it is
strong, well put argument, from strong
man, on subject which is of vital interest to
the whole country.

few evenings ago, TO make arrangements for
sending forward regimen, 10 help Turkey against

provisions for ESQ men for six months that Julien
had been requested TO give concert; and that the
landlord Of the Shakespeare Hotel had offered
room for vocal performance, in order TO raise
funds for the object The society has IN view. The
presidep, also said that a committee had waited
on General Sanford who answered that, as q pri-
vate citizen, his sympathies were with the pro-
jected expedition, but that he could not, in his
official character, give any advice or help.
