TmE ADMINISTRATION AND THE New YORK
DEMocRAcY.-Ion the Washington correspond.
ept of the Baltimore Sun says:
The strength of the Pierce administration
was to be tested, as the whole country knew,
upon the question made between it and the
New York rebel chlets-the leader of the hards.
II the President had submitted, as some sup
posed he would do, he would, thereby, have
confessed his error in the adoption of his origi-
nal policy Of uniting the democratic party by
II recognition Of its different "serions," and
would have been compelled to dissolve the
Cabinet, and begin the administration anew.
upon such terms as the hards should be pleased
to dictate The President saw that his posi-
ton admitted Of no temporizng policy and
that he must face the question, or be reduced
to absolute contempt. If he has not escaped a
hostility and danger by his decisive action in
removing Collector Bronson, he has, at least,
avoided humiliation.
lie, of course, expects nothing but war as
the result, and u war lasting during his whole
term of office. | think that what was called
the Presidents policy was il-advisrd, nut it
would be impossible for him to change it, at
this late day, without producing greater tur-
moil than will be consequent upon his adhcr-
eucc to it. At all events the question is now
settled by the removal of Collector Bronson.
Those who are disposed to support the p'in-
cipal measures of the administration, SO far as
ihey may be right will not find any obstacle TO
their course in the New York tcud and, as to
the Democratic party itself, its history shows
that it is rot weakened by such seaabb!es.
did not suppose the administration would
remove Judge Bronson till after the election.

millions in tho United States Treasury is looked upon
as IL splendid prize by all tho political gamblers about
the country, and desperate attempt will be made at
the next session of Congress to get hold of the money

There is every appearance of prodisous accession
to the class lobby members during the next session
of Congress The host of cy-members Of Congress and
disappointed occ-scckcrs from all parts of the coun
trv arc coming to Washington to look after the jobs
and contracts and other matters besides various pieces

outside in the lobby by various members OF that re-
sncctahle body.

JEWISH OppREssIoS REvIvED.-By the late
arrival from Europe we learn the fact that the
Austrian Government has sgnaiSed itself by Il
backward step in civilization. 1t has restored
disabilities Which the barbarism Of the middle
ages imposed upon the Jews, and which was
only removed by the revolution Of lS46. The
Austrian government seems determined that no
benefit shall accrue to any class of its ubjects
from that revolution. Hereafter, the Jews in
Austria are forbidden to hold real estate in their
own name, but all property Of that description
to which they lay claim, must he registered in
the name Of Christians.
The London Daily News says:
We understand the re-enactmcnt Of Jewish
disabilities, just decreed by the government of
Austria has excited strong feeling Of nd!gna-
ton amongst the influential Hebrew party in the
various markets of Europe. The Hebrew men,
bers of the London Stock Exchange, with view
to some kind of retaliation upon the Austrian
government, have been earnestly discussing the
proprictv of abstaining altogether from dealing
in Austrian STOCK until such time as the gov
ernlnent shal! think fit to rcpcal this insulting
enactment. In the other leading markets Of
Europe, including Paris, Frankfort, and Vienna,
similar proposal has been subjected to discus
sion, and a formal resolution to refuse to touch
Austrian stock is stated to be probable. Look
ing to the a"ge amount Of Austrian stock hell
by the Hebrew capitalists throughout Europe
and to the unvarying support accorded by them
for Austria in her often recurring periods OF h.
nancial need, the present conduct of that gov
erument is felt by them as being equally unjust
and ungrateful. As an illustration Of this tenn
per, the dealers through whom the transactions
in Austrian stock are generally conducted, it
may be mentioned that considerable amount
of the Austrian loan of 1852 was offered in the
market to day at OIL, although quoted last week
o. to 0G; short time back the price Of this
stock was as high as l02.

THE JEws.-The ancient Jewish obscrvances,
commemorative Of the departure of the Israel
ties from Egypt, were concluded few days ago,
at which time the Jewish civil year ended In
reviewing the progress of Judaism in this coun-
try, one of the Hebrew papers says that two new
synagogues have been erected during the past
year, in New York and three congregations in
California; two or three works on Jewish litera-
ture have been published and new translation
of the Bible. Efforts made for the conversion
Of the Jews to the faith Of other sects, are rep
resented as having been unsuccessful, while seve-
raj Christians have embraced Judaism in New
York, Albany, Hartford, Chicago, and other
places.
1t is estimated that there are about 10000
Jews in New York, where they have thirteen
synagogues.-N. Y. Journal of Commerce.

QUEER CAsE.-Ihe New York Sun has the
following:
a.. man was recently tried in Westchester
county for bigamy. After marrying wife No. l..
lie espoused another woman as wife No. o.
Subsequently,, wife No. died, after which he
married wife No. g. This greatly incensed wife
No. 2, and she made complaint against him
for bigamy. When the trial came on wives
No. and were both present; the smiles ofre-
venge played on the countenance of No. 2, at
the now immediate prospect Of sending her
former lover to the State prison, and Of dread
fully disappointing No. 3, her successor in her
husbands affections. But the fellow was ac.
Quilted on the ground that his marriage with
wife No. ? was illegal, wife No. being then
living. No. 3's stock went Immediately up
No. 3 went off us mad as March hare"

SERIOUS AFfRAy.-On Saturday last an af.
fray of rather serious nature occurred in Ian.
caster village. The Ledger furnishes US the
following particulars "A difficulty took place
between Archibald Flemmng aud jackson
Gregory; the former made an assault on Greg.
orv, and had him on the hoor when John Gre.
CORY, a brother of Jackson, intcrtered to part
them, he succeeded in getting Flemming off,
when Jackson drew dirk, and in the attempt
to stab Flemming, stabbed his brother. 1t is
said the blow which was aimed at Flemming
would have killed him, had not +. thrust John
G. between them to receive it. Flemming g
however did not escape, for Jackson though
still on the floor, welded his dirk about in a
desperate mahner, and after stabbing his bro
,her in two or three places, inflicted several
wounds upon Flemming. 1t is thought both
of the wounded men will recover, although
Gregory is very severely if not seriously in,
jured.
