We readily believe in the sincerity of the
Aldermanic compliments Of our friends of the
Mail. But they do the Alderman great injus-
ice in limiting, in the remotest degree, at turtle
soup. The vocation in Richmond, in respect
of any of the gastronimic comforts, is utterly
barren. 1t is important that this should be re.
membered. Any of the Aldermen, we are
sure, will be greatly obliged to any ringer in,
who will ring turtle soup, or any other luxury,
on their tables! The founders of this pure mu.
nicipal government went upon the principle
that Adversely is the nurse of Virtue, and were
determined that the dispensers of justice at
least, should not become pampered and cor
rupt! Hence the Aldermen have neither per.
quisites DOR plunder-ihey have no fine din
ners at public expense-no tea room" at the
public charge. Their highe st hope is to serve
the public-their highest reward the thanks OF
that public! Plain as are their customs, frugal
as is their public fare, the Mail may we'll wish
that the shadow off. A. c. may never be less!

q Col. PERRY, the communicative editor
of the Greenville, S. c., Patriot, whose letters
we have before noticed, writes home from
Washington that Gen. Pierce " is much wor-
ried and harrassed by Office seekers. who give
him no rest day nor night" He even express
es his fears that Gen. Pierce will not survive
his term. In these fears the humane Colonel,
we expect, is mistaken. Gen. Pierce is poll.
tcian and lawyer, whose business it is to know
how to dispose Of suits and solicitations and
he is prudent man in diet, and will hardly in
dulge too freely in eating cabbage. But ne
vertheless, we rather guess he wishes there
was not an Office seeker in the world! A very
worthy gentleman in this community suggest
ed to US few days since the propriety of the
announcement, by newly elected President,
that {" no man would be appointed to Office by
him who came to Washington in person to
present his claims and sue for it!' Egad,
what an effect that would have! But the dan.
ger would be that the tavern keepers in Wash.
ington would possibly procure his assassina.
ton before the day of Inauguration! 1t would
be death to their business!

BISHOP IvEs.-The papers contain letter
from Judge EBENEzER II. Ives, of Connecti.
cut, on the subject of the alleged derange.
ment of his brother, Bishop IVES. He says
that arrangement is hereditary in the family,
and he has no doubt that the conduct of the
Bishop, in becoming Catholic is attributable,
in part, to arrangement of mind. Be it so or
not, the general public, who care very little
aboutdocuinal wars will give Judge Ives very
little credit for such family confession and
declaration concerning his brother.
Strange TO say, the papers also contain let
ter from Bishop IVES, dated at Rome, in which
he declares that it is not true the he has ever,
except when under the delirium Of typhus
fever, been deprived of any part of the mea-
sure of reason which God had been pleased to
.ndow him with. 1t is true, he says, that he
had brother who was, for time, deprived o.
reason, and he conjecture that mistake may
have grown out of this, and he supposed to be
that brother! Whether this brother be Judge
Ives or not, does not appear.
We think the Iveses had better STOP talking
about their family.
Next in importance to this question of the
sanity of the family of Iveses we know nothing
more interesting than the following original
riddle:
| ''As was going to st. Ives,
met seven wives
| Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven CATS
Each cat had seven kits
Kits cats, sacks and wives
How many were going to St IvesP'

sentimental. Old men will say horribly sentimcn
tai. The field is very good one for Arthur, and
he handles it in way to make all the young girls
shed lovely chrystal tears of sympathy for the

cid woman called "good for nothing the
very unhappy life the poor girl led for some years
until the old man died Gas a matter of course,) q

GREETED by his young wife. The story winds up BY
the return of the "good for nothing young man

Riley three or four ticks with whip, while R. was
pulling at a tree, when the accused got away and
threw back several stones at him. He then sent a
negro man, Patrick, after Riley, when Riley resist.
ed the negro and cut him severely about the head
with a stone; after which, R. was taken to the
cage.
The Mayor decided that Mr.. Seayres had nc
