The number of Custom Houses in the United
States is nearly 100, and the persons employ.

various departments at Washington number

natives of foreign countries, ISL; unknown,
40. The State of Virginia has the largest
delegation among this army of oflice-holders
resident in Washington. New Hampshire
heads the list of New England States; but
the Old Dominion beats the whole of New
England by more than 10 per cent. The

EDlToRs.- The Home Journal has n
quaint article on the subject of Editors-City
Editors, of course. We quote two para
graphs:
The Editor has his decisions as well rs
other people. He thinks he creates public
man who runs ahead of an advancing throng
seems to lead it, and does lead it, rs long as
he runs phere they ,rant TO go, but let him
turn corner which they do mt want TO turn,
and he finds himself running alone. No one
cOnversant with our political history, can be
ignorant that, in influencing votes, papers
are signally impotent, and particularly the
papers which are very ably conducted
Another deluson Of the Editor is, to suppose
that the eyes of the country are upon his pa
per. He little thinks that the oudcst thun-
der that evet dcafencd New York, died away
among the Jersey hills, and was only heard
of among the Highlands. The Editor, too,
is subject to decisions with regard to his cir
culations. He hugs the thought, that If his
circulation is small, il is select, and that he
goes freely in the Fifteenth Ward, and is
read under chandeliers, and lies on centre
tables; which latter, perhaps, he does occa.
sonally.
Learned, he is not. The printing Office
sends ten men to the editorial throne while
the college sends one; and there are editors
in this country, prosperous and renowned,who
know grammar only by instinct, who owe
their spelling to the compositor, and have no
idea Oh what map to look for Kamtsclatka.
Nor is the Editor wiser than the average Of
men. nor more given TO reflection, nor more
likely to be correct in opinion. If he were,
he would be in constant danger Of turning
that awkward corner just referred to, and
finding himself without followers. He would
he ever tempted to tell his readers what they
ought to be told; whereas, the art of editing
consists solely in telling them what they ,oant
to be told. Hence, there are but two Edi-
tors likely to achieve striking success. One
is the man who, in his opinions, habits and
tendencies, represents large class; and the
other is he who can utterly sink the man in
the Editor, and devote his undivided atten-
ton to the study of the public, whose prcju.
dices he hatters, whose desires he anticipates,
whose opinions he echoes. DO you blame
him! How long would you continue your
subscription TO a paper which neither spared
your prejudces, nor anticipated your desires,
nor echoed your opinions. Upon the whole,
the Editor is u good fellow. He has his
faults, like other men. But, generally speak.
ing, he works hard and late, does a thousand
obliging things, comes rs Fear telling the
trutl. rs his readers will let him, and, above
all, he produces what the world could not
exist without-The Newspaper. Then, re.
fuse him not his favorte adjectives, which
are, "able," "gcnial," "pubic-spiritcd," and
| whole sOuled"

AT HOME IN THE EvENING.-Onc of the
grossest neglect Of youth, producing incalcu.
liable mischief and ruin, is the spending of
his evenings. Darkness is the temptation to
misconduct; suffering the youth to be out,
when the light of day does not restrain them
from misconduct, is training them to it. We
have already M abundant harvest Of this
seeding. Riots, mobs, crimes, giving fearful
forebodeing, are the results of youth becom-
ing fit agents Of outrage, by running uncared
for, in the evenings. What we see in these
respects is deplorablc enough; but what is
this compared with what we do not see
multitudes making themselves miserable and
noxious to the world, and what is that pleas
ur-s and recreation are ofisn dearly purch"s-
ed-the price of their own impaired comfort,
and the blightcd prospects of their offspring.

Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

In the midst Of the general JOY which has hailed
the passage of the Nebraska bill by the House of
Representatives the Hon. Stephen \. Douglass,
the early and gallant champion of that measure
in the Senate of the United States, is everywhere
spoken of in high praise. His powerful and cour-
ageous speeches and letters did much to instruct
ana to direct the public mind, and he has every
reason to be proud of the result of his labors so
far Although he has been most unscrupulously
assailed yet he has the proud satisfaction to know
that his course has been sustained b. his great
party, and by the approving voice of thousands
of men heretofore identified with the opposition.
There is not one page in the history of his noble
career upon which the future will dwell with
more pleasure and profit than that which COM
memorates his recent distinguished services to
the constitution of his country.
We confess that there is feature of this
proud spectacle that we dwell upon with undis
sembled pleasure-and that is, of the one hundred
and thirteen votes for the Nebraska bill in the
House of Representatives, ninety are Demo
Gratis and that of thisnumber forty-four are from
the free States. The power of great principles,
and the strength OF our organization, are thus in
contestibly proved.
There IS anotner clement IN the canvass IN the
final vote on this question in the House which
deserves especial notice-we allude to the four
teen Wings from the South who aided the Dem
ocracy in the popular branch of Congress to pass
this bill, and who SO frequently bore testimony,
not alone against the subServiency to the Aboli-
ton power Of the North of the whole Wing party
of the free States, but to the intrepid and unwa-
yering courage of the Democratic column.
The isolated position, the energy, the enthusi-
asm and the devotion ofthese fourteen men, con-
trasted conclusvely with the bitterness and the
perseverance against the bill of those who still
hope to unite the Wings of the South with the
Seward party of the North. To the people of the
slave States, this aspect of the Nebraska strug-
gle in Congress is full of warnings; and We much

Editorial Retirement.

With feelings of regret do we exchange parting
salutations this week, with our esteemed contcm
porary, Emanuel j. Pershing, who has retired
from the editorial department of the Allegheny
Mountain Echo" Mr.. Pershing had done much
to elevate the character of Journalism il our
county. Writing from mind replete with in
formation, his articles on all subjects were inter
csting and instructive, and the classic polish of
his style lent grace even to the sternness of pol
itica controversy. 1t is needless to say that the
best wishes of his editorial brethren accompany
him.
We hope that neighbor Smith will cheerfuly
accept the double labor now imposed upon him,
and still push on the column with as much yiGor
as herctofore.
