THE ORGANS TRYING TO TUNE.

The New Orleans True Della, it 10 we'll
known, is a paper whose partialities are strong.
ly in favor Of the present Democratic party,
aud whose prejudices are equally as strong
against the Know Nothings-although inde-
pendent ip it's management; but its partialities
do not blind it or prevent it from speaking the
truth. no matter upon whom it falls. In a
late number, under the above caption, it very
truthfplIy. and more forcibly than usual, says:
"Recent disasters and defeats, and more in pro-
spective, have not been without their effect in
wiping the blear from the eyes Of some of
those whose malignant scribbliug and senseless
TRADES have brought politics into their present
confused state throughout the Union, but they
hive not operated to correct their habitual con.
fusion OF ideas, nor to impel them to that self
examination so essential to reformation in
those who are the authors of mischief, or the
i~nstigators to wrong doing" This a%lIusion is
made to the federal organ and smaller lumina-
ries, which being silent at first all at once be-
came terribly alarmed and denounced the mo-
tives Of the Know Nothings in all manner Of
ways and in the most violent language. But
the late elections set them to scratching their
heads, and finally to the last alternative of
changing their "tune." The Washington Union
has changed its notes SO completely, as will be
seen by an extract from its columns in to.day's
paper, that the fierce cry of the eagle, as it
seemed to initiate a short time since, would
row be mistaken for the humble and ever va
,rying chirpings Of the mo~cking-bird. 1t is
this Talleyrandic course on the part of the
Union and "lesser sate!lites"-fr denouncing
and then hugging to their breasts-which drew
the bitter article alluded 10, from the True
Delta, and to which the above extract is an in
PRODUCTION Now that the Union has made the
declarations as contained in the extract pub.
lished to-day, we may expect to see a scene Of
asommersstting" among Locofoco journals as

"DIED BY INCHES. "A most extraordinary
account has reached us in private letter from
Vienna, says the British Notes and Queries, of
a high parsonage here, that has been the talk
of our salons for the last few days. 1t appears
that the circumstances Of thedeath of General
Haynau presented phenomenon of the most
awful kind on record. For many days after
death, the warmth of life yet fingered in the
right arm and left leg of the corpse, which re-
maincd limped and moist, even bleeding
slightly when pricked. No delusion, not
withstand;ng, could be maintained as to the
reality of death, for the other parts ofthc
body were completely mortified, and inter-
ment became necessary before the two limbs
above mentioned had become either stiff or
cold. The writer of the aforementioned that
this strange circumstance had produced the
greatest awe in the minds Of those who wit
messed it, and that the Emperor had been so
impressed with it. that his physicians had
forbidden the subject to be alluded to in his
presence.

Mr. EDITOR You are aware that this

For seventy years--sincc tie year 1874,

the Constitution which authorizes Congress
to dispose oc, and make rules and regulations
respecting the territory and other property of
