THE Know NorHINGs. The result OF
several elections The present week show The
po,en, influence exercised by The Know.
Nolhings. At Washington and Philadel.
phia they have carried The day by over
whelming majorilies. AT Washington, all
the influence Of the Administration wa, in.
sufficien, to secure the election Of The cali-
dida,e il had fixed on for Mayor, aud Mr..
Towers, who was nominated BY The Wings,
and supported by the Know.Nolhings, was
elected by majority OF 436. The vote vas
the largest ever thrown, upwards OF $500
votes being rolled.
In Philadelphia the Wing, Native and
Temperance candidates, endorsed by The
Known olhines, have swept The city. This
was the liIsi election since the consolidation,
and is regarded as very important from The
fact the result is considered as direct con.
denim iiion of The administration and the Ne.
braska bill.
The wing and native party have also
chosen majority of The select and Common
Council. They have, therefore, in their
own hands, the control Of the entire city
offices, ard consultations will be iniaied
under The aupices Of that party.
The result is astounding 10 the democrat.

The friends of Judge Conrad called on

his speech we extract the following sen.
fence.
"He said tha, The triumph belonged 10

of The cause OF all that every true American
citizen could Justly be proud Of and over
which the flag of our country can proudly
wave, and TO which every patriotic heart

LIE ofkrtSC oS SAPAf. me feeuN VI
The expedition TO Japan, under Com. Perry
is the making Of a,reaiy by which Two paris
are opened 10 the American tade. The
news Of The making Of hi. treaty was
brought 10 Hong Kong, China, by the U. S.
Ship, Sus4uehanna, April 2. The following
par,iculars relative 10 The terms Of tho uea.
iy are Of interest
Two ports are given 10 trade Maismai
in Yeso, and Sho.di.ma before mentioned;
and in addition 10 these places with trading
residents, another location is promised con-
iiguous 10 the coal country. Al hrs' inc
japanese commissioners spoke OF one year
for the coal station, and FIVE for the trading
places, rs periods within which they prom
ised the warm endeavor of,heir Government
10 prepare the people for the new regula-
tons. The laws Of The empire, they said,
were very strict against trading Of any kind
excepting a, Nangasaki with the Dutch
10 these lengthy periods, however, His
Excellency Commodore Perry temporarily
though firmly objected, insisting on the
coal depot at once, and trading ports within
a year.
As regards The terms OF the treaty, the
basis of that will China is said 10 form the
leading feature. Commodore Perry, it Is
said, offered 10 embody clause in The irea.
" for participation by all The world in The
advantages he desired; but 10 This preposi.
lion the japanese commissioners demurred;
expressing a willingness, however, 10 make
separate treaties OF similar terms with any
other nations who might seek them in n
peaceful manner. As soon ms the treaty is
concluded, Capt. Adams, in the Saratoga,
will leave with dispatches; but, as II Is
said Commodore Perry intends TO remain
on The Japanese coast for at least two OF
three months, we presume His Excellency
is prudenlly determined upon doing
what is to be done IN quiet, steady man
ner, and without any unnecessary haste.
The miniature railway, and five miles oil
ma sne,ic telegraph, created great as'onish'
ment. Arranged with Japanese characters
there was much amusement among The ma
,iyes a, the extremes Of The lines al the ra
pidi'y and ease with which conversation
could be carried on, additional wires being
ordered to be prepared Immediately, so thai
they might carry The communication righ
up 10 The capital.
One OF The marines Of The Mississippi dy'
ing while The squadron was lying in The
bay Of Je,do, an occasion was given 10 ap'
ply for ground for a cemetery. Sufficient
space for len iniermenis icing allotted, The
marine was buried with all The honors Of
war.
