CITY MATTERS.

The admirable public spirit of our citizens is
attested by the freedom with which !
they vote money for the improvement of our
beautiful City. Nothing contributes more to
the prosperity of town, than an enlightened
public spirit in its citizens; when they do not
confne their means and energies solely TO their
own peculiar gain and Advancement, but are
willing to devote portion of each to the gener-
al profit of the city, in whose prosperity they
all have something in common But when ap-
propriations of money are made tor city purpos-
es, it becomes the duty If those, who hive
charge of their disbursement and application, to
use them with prude nee, foresight and Judg-
ment People, as a general thing, do not care
to vote money from their pockets to be idly or
| injudciously expended, in a manner productive
of no advantage TO citizen or city. Last year a
debt of $4,000 was incurred by the City Cor
purposes of Improvement. A portion ot this
fund was ordered to be appropriated to filing
up the lots in the lower part of the city. Some
Of these lots have been filled, others hive not
We would mention to the Mayor and Council
the propriety of carrying into full effect thei
ordinance relative to this matter. When thu
river re,res, stagnant pools will be formed OF
the untitled lots, which will be likely to creat
sickness, of which, happily, we have had ii'ti

washington, June 10
Andrew }. Morrison shot his wife Fanny,
and dry goods clerk named VIM Fl. Hester,
this afternoon, under peculiar circumstances
There are various conflicting accounts; tile
more reliable are, that Morrison, W had been
married about 6 months to very young and
handsome woman, suspecting improper faml-
iarity told her that he should leave town this
afternoon that she notified Hester OF her
husbands supposed absence, and Hester subse-
quent'y called on her at her lodgings on Penn
syvanla Avenue.
Morrison meanwhile having watched their
movements, sprang suddenly upon them, and
finding them in his chamber, both endashabaifc,
instantly drew revolver and fired three or four
shots, one of which passed through Hcster's
body, endangering his life, and another passed
through the arm and side of his wife, woundng
her seriously but not dangerously. Morrison
Immediately gave himself up to the authorities,
and was commi ted Hester being informed by
his phi; stefan that he might not live but few
minutes, made a statement to Capt. Goddard, to
the effect that he had no criminal intention,-yet
falling fully to account for being caught in such
predicatement.

ESy@ We surrender most of our available
space this morning to an able answer to the
illiberal and vindictve assault on i" Our new
President which was made by some anony.
nous reviewer, through the columns of Put
nams Magazine. The character of that as
sault and the manner of its dissemination. by
means Of a monthly publication which pro-
fessed to be neutral in politics, and was be
lieved to be devoted entirely to purely literary
matters, have given rise to much just indigna-
ton, and have called forth more than one re-
ply from the democratic press. But the paper
which we lay before our readers today is more
maturely considered, and is more searching
and thorough than anything we have yet seen
on the subject; and we therefore commend it
to public attention. Our readers are fully aware
of the position we occupy towards the admin
istration. We stand among its independent
supporters, resolutely determined to battle to
the last in sustaining its democratic policy, and
yet not fearing to censure when we think that
censure is merited.

OPERATIONS OF THE MISr.-By the report Of
the Treasurer Of the Mint, for the month of
September, we find that the gold coinage for the
month was S4,22l, ,59s; less than one.fourth Of
which was in small coin, s3,32l ,49o being in
double eagles. Considering the urgen, de
mand in various quarters for gold dollars and
quarter eagles, we regret that so large pro.
portion Of the coinage has been Of the larger
denominations. The silver coinage was one
and quarter millions, principally in quarter
and half dollars. The copper coinage Of cents
still goes on, 10000 having been coined last
month, that is $500. There was deposited OF
gold bullion from California, S2,97500O, and
from other sources $4,000, the whole gold de-
posts reaching SO, ,o25 900, and of silver bullion
S32O,5O0. The following is the Treasurer

THE PENNSYLVANIA.

Our readers will remember the structures we
made yesterday, on an article which appeared
in the Pennsylvania on Saturday. We eS.
pressed our conviction that such an eXtraordi-
nary production must be u source of as much
surprise and modification to the proprietora and
conductors of that journal as it was TO Us. II
affords us pleasure now to be able to state that
our conviction in that regard was not without
adequate foundation, as the following extract
from the Pennsylvania of Yesterday will show:
1t is due to Colonel John w. Forney, who is
supposed by many 10 be still connected with the
Pennsylvania, that we should state that the art

was not from his pen, and was published withou
his knowledge or consent.

propretors Of this paper, TO say that they were no
consulted in reference to the publication OF tn
said article and that they deeply regret its appear

THE CHEERING VOICE OF OUR
FRIENDS.

We have received many letters from friends.
and in numerous instances, from perfect stran.
gers, expressing their best wishes for the sue
cess Of our enterprise, and their entire approx.
al of the course of the Sentinel. That the
sentiments We have expressed and which have
come warm from our hearts, uninfuenced by
sordid hopes or unmanly fears, have command
ed the cordial concurrence of those whose good
opinions we value, is source Of sincere
qualification. These cheering testimonials of
appreciation have not been confined to localities
or sections. They have come from every quar-
ter, but particularly from the south. Old Vir-
ginia, to whom we look with 6lial reverence,
whose politics are always right, whose sympa-
thies are always with the faithful and the true
hearted, has not been backward in words of en-
couragement We look to her as the best in
terpreter Of the Constitution, as the friend o
its friends and the foe of it's foes. Encouraged
by her we feel that we are right and in unisoI
with the great democratic party Of the country
To publish these letters would be agreeable
to our feelings, but as it would be somewha
vain glorious, and by consequence against gooc
taste, we feel constrained to decline their pub
lication, and we beg our correspondents to take
this as an acknowledgment Of their kindness.

We lay before our readers this morning, th'
long expected reply Of the collector of the por
of New York, to the letter addressed to him b,

manner in which the patronage of his Office
should be distributed. 1t is needless to invite
special attention to this able and digni6ed pro-
duction, or to submit comments on its promi-
nent features. Indeed, the lateness of the hour
and the crowded state of our columns forbid US
to do so.
