tons of this great country must be of the
most worthless sort, if they are fairly
represented. We can see them here as
they really are, drunken, gambling; the
slaves and pimps of prostitutes whose in
fuence over them is more extensive and
weighty than the wishes of their con-
stituents. What would be thought of a
president who would regard the wishes of a
prostitute in the appointment Of an Office?
The community would be up is arm against
bin. And yet We have good reason to be-
lieve that the influence of member or ex-
member is about to be exerted in favor of
an incompetent seeker, on the recommends
ton of woman of this sort
1t is time for our citizens to cry out
against the conduct of these men-these
representatives of free people, intelligent
people, decent people! We think, if the
people want to be represented by the worst
characters in their districts, they had better
empty their warehouses, by electing their
inmates to Congress.
4 Pickpochet.-A gentleman who was
about to leave the city iu day or two, had
his pocket picked last evening of $175.-
His suspicious rested upon woolly mouthed
gent, whose name we did not learn, and he
attacked him with the remark, Sc If you do
not give me my money will prosecute YOU"
NOoly-mouth forked over, excusing himself
By saying, SO l only took it for joke
The gentleman being obliged to leave tn
city, the thief escapes. We should like to
have his name. However, he is Pole, and
tries to shine here. Look out for him.
License or no License.-The different par
ties were at work this morning endeavoring
to find out their friends and opponents.
The Board Of Aldermen at their meeting
last evening passed the resolution to submit
the question to the votes at the next cleo
ton, by vote of ten for, to two against it.
The war will now commence in earnest,
and though it will be warm and exciting,
We trust it will be bloodless
Hay Festiral.-The pretty little Misses of
the Public School in the Seventh Ward,
passed along the avenue about twelve
o'clock to-day, accompanied by the little

fashion, this bright May day.
Fre-The alarm of fire between II and
II o'clock last night, originated in the 1st
Ward. A stable in an alley back of Union
Chapel was discovered on fire, but was saved
