GREEDY ON THE Know NorHIKGs.-The

this city, who was himself Know Nothing,
was required by the Council TO pledge him.

body, to vote in6exibly against VIM. II. Sew

didate for that Office and the election should
90 to the House. And this is but one Of
many cases of like character.
This champion of Se,cardism also hears
shat the late Know Nothing Grand Council
at Cincinnati formally resolved that the order
shall not be pro-slauery nor anti slarsry"-iu
other words, that they will, as party, oppose
siare-y agitation!
OF the candidates mentioned for the Pres
idency, the Searard organ, says:
Mr.. Garrett Davis is respectable, uprigh!
man, but stubbornly conservative and pro-
slavery; Messrs Fillmore and Clayton, our
readers know; Mr.. Broome has long been
prominent Native in Philadelphia, and is
member of Congress elect. Not one of these
has lately been suspected of the "fanatcism"
Of believing all men rightfully free and
equal.
The Tribune further says:
We believe the Know Nothing array is
destined to prove the deadIiest foe of anti
slavery, temperance and every other reform
movement. as

WAsHINer TON, Dec. 6.


The election Of Senator Bright as Presi-
dent of the Senate came near being attended
with unpleasant consequences. The caucus
was anything but harmonious. In fact at
one time came near separating in a row be-
fore a selection was made, consequent upon
Judge Butler urging the selection of Mr..
Bright as President Of the Senate for the
time being merely, still considering Atchison
as Vice President pro. tenn, thus opening an
issue between the North and South.
But for the firmness and PERSUASION of
northern senators most unpleasant results to
the business of the Senate, at this session,
would have ensued. Much bitterness is still
felt by some Southern Senators that Mr.
Bright should be elected without qualification
as to time.

Know NOTHING MovEMENTs.-The New
York Herald Of the I'd inst, says:-We I'M
derstand that the Know Nothings are about
organizing n Council in Congress, and that
the first results will probably be some aston.
ishing assertions from the administration in
both houses. We are also informed that the
new party will be on hand at the meeting Of
the Legislature at Albany, for the enrolment
of members Of both houses there into the
mysteries and political policy of the order
The same course will most probably be pur-
sued in all the different State Legislatures
Thurow Weed is very much frightened con-
corning these Know Nothings, and the
chances of Seward in our Assembly. We
should not be surprised If majority against
the arch-ngtator were mysteriously to turn
up on election day. II is of the highest i'm.
portance to the new movement that Seward
should be disposed Of Nothing like blow
at the very head of this ant-slavery coali-
ton.

WASHINGTON. Dec.

w DCSS IL
In the Senate today, Mr.. Adams, Of Mis-
sssippi, introduced bill to change the nat
uraization laws, fixing the period at twenty
one years, to take effect on those who arrive
in this country after the passage of the act.
He avowed himself Know Nothing as far
as he understood the doctrine, but said he
was not member of any secret order. He
thought foreigners dangerous, as allies, and
that abolition immigration should be dis
couraged. The Bill was read and referred.
In the House, Mr.. Clingman asked leave
to introduce bill empowering the President
to offer mediation between Russia and the
Allies, which was refused.

SALE OF A RAILROAD IN New YoRK-The
Hudson and Berkshire Railroad was sold by
the Comptroller on Tuesday last, in conse-

interest or principal of the State loan of

subsequently made subject to lien of $780,

II is also asserted that the Mobile Register, a

QUALIFICATION OF JURoRs.-In criminal
case now on trial in the United States Circuit
Court, Chief Justice fancy has decided the
following to be the proper qualifications for
juror to try the issue:
"lf the juror has formed an opinion that
the prisoners are guilty, and entertains that
opinion now, without waiting TO hear the tes-
timony, then he is incompetent. But if, from
reading the newspapers or hearing reports,
he has impressions on his mind unfavorable
to the prisoners, but has no opinion or preju-
dice which will prevent him from doing i'm
partial justice when he hears the testimony,
then he is competent"

ter in the New York Herald says:
In diplomatic circles here there is n new
solution of the question, "Why did Louis
Napoleon deny Pierre Soule admission into
France?" 1t is this:-Napoleon iii. having
heard the report that Mr.. Soule was the nat
ural son of Napoleon the Great, feared thu.
our minister (tbis report being true) nigh,
set himself up for the French throne. Know
ing that Dir. Soule possessed great influence
with the people and revolutionary leaders
throughout his empire, he looked upon him
as dangerous rival for the imperial honors,
and self preservation dictated the order for
bidding him his dominons. The Emperor
himself has the reputation of being natur.
al son, which places him behind Mr. Soule in
his claims upon the throne-the one preset nj
ing himself to France as the son Of the great
Emperor, and the other only as the "nephew
Of his uncle"

A Misopprehension on the part Of Newspa.

lead both postmasters and the community
They say "postmasters in any part of the

may write and frank orders for the -, or
sign, frank and send orders for the -,
written by another"
Now, we have it from the highest post
office authority, that the whole of this state
ment, so far as it regards the franking privil.
eye of postmasters, is incorrect. That priv
iege only grants to postmaster the right TO
send free letters ,oritten by himself on his pri-
rate business; to receive written communica-
