its adoption. Fasting, penance, humiliation

possible that Alvarez may yet drive Gen

believed that this relative decrease will be kept
up through the city, although each of the wards

NEW L Ohh In 1OOC AND 1904, EkSUS IHIIA-
DELPHA.-For the information of our business
community, we give place in our columns to a
learned article from the Philadelphia Bulletin,
in which the contrast drawn between the dash
ing prosperity of New York in 1853, and its
comparative stagnation in 1854, will astonish
commentary in question, however, lacks one
essential element to sound argument: Its pre-
misses, assumed as facts, are not true. There
are no rows of unoccupied houses in New York
Our houses are full; hundreds of new ones are
going up, though the aggregate is not equal per
haps to that of last year. from marine losses high
prices Of materials, and other temporary causes
one hundred per cent, and all over the
city the increase over last year has been a
subject of general complaint Still, it is proof
of the continuing aud rapidly increasing popu-
lation and business of the city.
Nor is there any reduction in the substantial
traffic of our merchants with the interior. A
few fancy country dealers, unable to meet their
bills of last year, may have made their pur-
chases of Philadelphia houses this year, as they
will probably find out next year. The strikes
for higher wages by various bodies of our me-
chanics and workmen, this season, have all been
acceded to- Labor here finds good employ
ment, although the influx Of fifty thousand emil
grants per month keeps up surplusage
of laborers over the amount of work on hand
In word, the substantial prosperity of New
York has never been upon SO good footing as
it is now. 1t is sound and wholesome pros
perity-the only material drawback to the mas
ses of our population being the limited capacities
of the island Hence, the pressure of high rents
But even those high rents are an evil which the
self-adjusting balances between capital and labor
will in time rectify.
We rejoice, meantime, at the prosperity of
Philadelphia. She is far in the interior-too re-
mote from the salt water to be considered for
moment as a commercial rival of New York
The coal trade and manufactures are the voca-
ton of Philadelphia. New York looks out
upon the highways of the ocean on the one side,
and upon the resources of the continent on the
other, and naturally holds the commanding po-
stion of the commercial emporium of America.
Philadelphia is not, therefore, and cannot be, the
rival Of New York, for each has a sort Of mono
poly Of its peculiar interests We feel no jea-
lousy concerning the prosperity of our neigh
bors. 1t reacts to the promotion Of our own,
Just as the success Of provincial towns always
contributes, pari passu, to the advancement OF
the central metropolis. Let our Philadelphia
contemporary, in the true spirit of brotherly
love-" try it again.

TIE ELECTION OF MAYOR At WASHINGTON


ANOTHER ADMINISTRATION DEFEAr.-Mr. Towers
(whig) has been elected Mayor Of Washington,
over the present democratic incumbent, Mr..
Maury. We see by the Washington papers
that there has been considerable excitement be-
tween the Know Nothings and the Catholics in
this election and that the result is counted as
victory of the Know Nothing party. But we
are also informed that Mr.. Maury was adopt
ed as the administration candidate, and the sue
cess of Towers is therefore an administration
defeat If such is the verdict Of the vicinage
against the Cabinet, in addition to the late re-
suits in New Hampshire, Connecticut, and
Rhode Island, the Cabinet ought to resign If
the result on the other hand, is intended as a
rebuke of the President, he ought to turn them
out. When the people of Washington reject a
candidate Of the administration, with all the
power and patronage of the government in it's
hands, there must be something at the bottom
of it besides the Know Nothings

JUDGE DOUGLAS AND JOHN CoCHRANE 0
NEBRAsKA.-The cordial reception of Judge
Douglas at the ST. Nicholas HOTEL last Satur-
day night, by John Cochrane and a respectable
posse from Tammany Hall and the Custom
House, has excited considerable curiosity con-
corning the upshot of this extraordinary affair
The hard shell organ of this city, however, has
volunteered an explanation of the mystery.
1t says that "sn honest old barnburner made
an attack the other day ON John Van Buren,,
for the course of his friend and confidential
servant John Cochrane, on the Nebraska ques-
ton to which the Prince replied, care you
such ID fool as net to see through the
joke ?" The joke is then explained, to the
effect that the President would be compelled to
turn the whole pack Of Buffalo free soil Office
holders into the streets, unless some of them
should endorse the Nebraska bill, to keep up
appearances. They accordingly held caucus,
at which it was agreed that the custodian of
the scarlet letter should make public recan-
tation in behalf OF the tribe, so as to save them
in the enjoyment Of the spoils The Surveyor
of the Port has thus proved his fidelity to the
spoils platform upon every trial: First as the
recipient of the scarlet letter, then in ad-
hitting the fact, then in refusing to give
up the letter, then in denying that he
had such letter, or had ever received such
letter, and lastly in swallowing the Nebraska
BILL Judge Douglas and all, with basket of
champagne, at single sitting. Now, all that
is required to make Master Cochrane q water
proof national democrat, is to give up the
scarlet letter, make clean breast of his free
soil transgressions, and prove the constitution
atty OF his repentance by voluntarily aiding,
upon the first opportunity, in catching fugi-
tive slave. win he do it?-thats the ques-
tion-will he do it? Nothing but hard
penance will straighten up hard sinner.

to. But the people do not know as they should
know, his toilsome labors in committee.
Through the long days of the late session Mr..
Hunter toiled from early morn--scarcely TAX
ing needed rest and refreshment-over the
dull but necessary details of legislation. We
have been pleased to see the patient and strict
scrutiny which he has given to claims upon
the public treasury, and the frmness with
which he has resisted those which were unjust;
while it is SO much the custom of many to yield
to personal solicitations and purchase a cheap
popularity by lavish appropriations of the pub
lie money. Mr.. Hunter is working man, and
a most useful and very highly respected mem
Der of the Senate; and it gives us sincere
pleasure to bear testimony in its behalf, to call
attention to his less snowy but not less useful
labors, and to ask for him continuance of the
generous regard of his State, of which he is a
most worthy and excellent representative.

they wanted, for they knew that the Mosquito
Protectorate was a mere pretense to cover up
fraud. And here we would call attention to
the fact that England has acted from the be-
ginning of that pretended Protectorate, not as
the protector, 6ast as the O,cner of The Mosquito
coast! On her own instigation and without
invitation, she seized ON San Juan. She ratified
the ClaytonBulwer treaty without consulting
" His Majesty of Mosquito Her consul took
charge of the place aided in erecting gov
eminent there, and consented to its seizure ola
large district Of country-without consulting
{" His Majesty Of Mosquito" Her minister to
this country consented to treaty by which
San Juan should be coded to Nicaragua with
out consulting His Majesty of Mosquito and
then when the Americans obtained the control
the British government offered to make it a
free city without consulting His Majesty Of
Mosquito" And now, when British influences
are again in the ascendant, by means of
large immigration of Jamaica negroes, she
again insists on the Mosquito Protectorate.
These circumstances, and indeed all the cir
cumstances connected with the case, prove
that the Protectorate is mere pretense-a
mere sham, cunningly devised to conceal an
act of British aggression, and to screen an
act of British spoliation, having for its object
the establishment of q British colony in Gen.
trail America on one of the routes to Califor-
MIA. Under the pretended Protectorate, Great
Britain has acted as an unfettered sovereign;
SO that any settlement in the name Of Mosquito
is nothing more than British settlement, and
is as much British colony as Jamaica is.

ITEMS OF NEWS.

SKELETONS OF THEOcBAN.-The Baltimore Argus
of Saturday gives the following appalling account.
Captain Klockingether of the ship Hindoo, from
Bremen TO Baltimore, when out about 40 days
upon the Atlantic, observed floating upon the
water, boat about the size OF an ordinary fishing
boat. Upon being brought along side. sight was
revealed which appalled, the s,outest heart on
board. In the water in the bottom Of the boat
were four human skeletons, whilst lazy swining
around them were myrads OF bloated, hideous-
looking fish and reptiles, fattened to repletion
upon their human prey, Of which little remained
but the bones, and portions Of clothing. The
captain came TO the conclusion that this was an
unfortunate fishing boat, which, with its victims,
had been driven out to sea by storm, and far
from succor, starvation had been the result. No
evidence Of birth or nationality was found, and
upon the arrival Of the Hindoo at Baltimore, the
mutilated remains were consigned TO Christian
burial. The boat which was the scene OF this
awful tragedy is still at Chases wharf, Fes' Point.
THE NEW YORK ASSAY HOUSE, is nearly finished,
being six stories in height and one ofthe strongest
buildings in New York. The vaults, which are

ness it is to misrepresent the Hards Of New
York, recently charged that many of them at
tended the Saratoga Convention, and that others
who did not attend, warmly approved gifts OBJ
jects. If the Atlas were an honest journal that
corrected its mistatements and conscientiously
repaired all the injustice it does, its issue of each
day would be taken up with corrections, expla-
nations, and excuses about its inaccuracies of
the day before-but the misrepresentation Of
the atlas, like the laws Of the Modes and Per.
SLAMS, are Interchangeable. 1t makes it rule
never to retract its mistatements.
1t may concern such of our readers as sym
pathize with the Hards to learn that there is no
foundation for the assertion of the atlas. The
Albany argus says:
" Two persons only who figured at the late
Saratoga fusionist convention, (the convention
which failed to fuse, pretended to have been
bunker or hard democrats '-or to have
belonged to the national democratic organiza-
ton"
"One of these is E. f. Billiard, Of Saratoga,
known of late from his connections with a
grand spiritrapping, biologist and celestial
manifestation association, at the head of which
are Messrs. Tallmadge and Edmonds--a gen.
tleman who severed his associations with the
democracy some time since, and apparently
about the time of turning his attention to the
higher spheres-and who travelled lately to
Missouri to urge, with all the zeal of neo-
phyte,' the reelection of the feesoil champion,
I. Il. Benton, to Congress.
"The other is set down as the Rev. Dolphin
Skinner, of Oneida county, person, according
to the Utica Herald-which has been able to
identify him-somewhat famous for political
pamphlets, and rather more SO, we opine, than
for religious tracts.
at is proper to say that neither of these
persons processes to have continued his con-
nection with the democratic party, or pretended
to represent any portion of it at the Saratoga
fzzle. Both were among the malcontents, who
regretted the timidity exhibited on the fusion
list State ticket question, and we're conse-
quently in favor of a new party only
such nondescripts can breathe freely.
