GEORGE LAWS MusKETs.-We understand
that two hundred thousand of George Laws
muskets have been brushed up Of late, packed
In new boxes, and prepared for immediate ship
ment on some fair day, when news shall have
arrived from Europe Of rising in Italy. Hun
gary, or Germany. Some Of the old Hungarian
heroes are also brushing up their old accoutre
ments, and preparing for voyage across the
Atlantic to take part in the coming revolution
We rather think. however, they will have to
wait some time before revolution breaks out
suitable for George Laws muskets. The mus
kets, therefore, will not go off yet.
THE Custom House ACCOMMODATIONS
discomfort it appears, has been developed
among the democracy by the recent appoint

appointments are persons with slittle or no
reputation, and number of them. it seems
are any thing but proper recipients Of such ia
vors. 1t is generally said that Mr.. Redileld has
very little to do himselfwith any appointments
that they are selected and made by commit
tee, composed of John Van Buren,, John Coch-
rane, and others of that ilk. In fact, the Gus
tom House is now entirely in the hands of the
Van Buren, free soil dynasty. and none but they
who have been free sellers for three or four years
prior to 1862 have any chance Of place in that
hospital Of incurablcs

The New CORPORATION AND THE REroRxsRs--
Among the many odd and extraordinary phases
which our municipal government is in the habit
of assuming, we think there is none SO remarka-
BILE, so oufre in its character, SO antagonistic
to our free institutions. as that which was
brought to light a few days since by the re-
formers. These worthless. arrogating to them
selves whatever small amount Of civic yirtue
may happen to have survived the general wreck
of that commodity in the corruptions Of the last
few years have carried their audaciousness and
selfconceit so far as to erect themselves into
secret dictatorial society with the object Of ut
terly neutralizng the powers vested by the peo-
pie in the hands of the Common Council, and
taking the government of the city into their
own hands. Mr.. Peter Cooper is passive
rather than an active agent in the hands of this
clique, which comprises among its leading men,
bers j. W. Girard, G.. B. Butler, of the Journal
Of Commerce, James Boorman and others
They have for the present established their
quarters in room in the University where they
hold their secret meetings; and they have had
the modesty to invite the Aldermen and Coun-
cilmen elect to join their league, and so re-
nounce their own official integrity and inde
pendence. By this means the so-called reform
ers want to get under their own direction the
entire control Of the municipal government,
and make the rrespor sibity of the corpora
ton still more loose than it now is If this se--
cret society be not actually illegal and uncon-
stitutional, as meant to influence improperly O.
legislative body it's existence is at all events,a
reproach to our republican institutions, and
living stigma on the principal Of universal suf.
frage. If our representatives betray their trusts
and give themselves up to corruption andfraud
the laws prescribe the remedy; lion the contra
~ they discharge their duties faithfully, it is
an insult to them to cherish or tolerate such q
band of secret inquisitors in this metropolis.
This reform clique and an efficient independent
and well-ordered government cannot co-exist.
One or the other must disappear.

DISTINGUISHED ARRIVAL AT BosToN.-Ko szta,
who has created SO much noise in America in
consequence of the gallant conduct OF Captain
Ingraham, has arrived at Boston; but as yet we
have seen no attempt to get up celebration on
the occasion. How dull the people In Boston are!
Why don't they stir themselves, and attempt to
organize parade on the entrance Of the distin-
guished Hungarian into that city?

THEATRICAL AND LITERARY SQUABBLE-Some
Of the theatrical critics have been making
great noise about the new comedy, called "the
Fox Hunt written by Mr.. Bourcicault and
produced recently night after night at Burton's
theatre with SO much eclat and applause.
These critics have discovered, all on sudden,
il would seem thatthc Fox Hunt 10 identical
with comedy called Sullivan" recently
played on the French stage A number of
rather weak condolences between the two
pieces have been given; but Mr.. Bourcicault
positively denies that lie was indebted to the
French piece for the slightest point of wit, sar-
casm humor, or good sense; and he finally
winds up his declaration with the following
very fair challenge
FilaDy, sr, propose 10 decide this quet lion by
oDsllsrge. Binx THE comedy, entitled Sullivan and

We hold that the non-vOting portion, WAC
were deceived in the last election, will vote
next time on the strong side, namely, on the
side of the national democrats; and they will be
followed by large number of those who have
temporarily voted on the Van Buren, side but do
not belong to it; and the result will be that the
national democrats will beat both the Seward
party and Van Buren, faction in the next cleo
ton. There is new combination Of parties ia
progress Of formation, and it will be found that
on the first trial Of strength in this State there
will be large majority against the Cabinet,
Marcy and Van Buren,, and in favor Of the
Union and compromise principles settled and
established in the last Congress.
