WHAr ARE WE CoAISG To9--A dispatch in
yesterday 5 New York Herald. dated Wash
ington, March 9th. says:
L understand from good and reliable au-
thority. that the President gives up the Viz
ginia election to the Know Nothings. Not
withstanlng the vain boasting and humbug
ging Of the Richmond Enquirer and other
Virginia Cabinet organs In conversation
with Virginia gentleman. the other day, Mr.
Pierce expressed his fears in very eloquent
terms. Said he: Il don't know what we are
coming to. There is mystery about the pro-
gress of the Know Nothings in the South
which is perfectly inexpicable. And if they
carry Virginia. that last remaining bulwaik Of
the democracy, God only knows what is to
become Of us!''

miles-then bear to the north, and by as near
q route as can be conveniently had, reach Pa
ris on a line With Main street in that place
Something like six thousand dollars. we are
informed, have been subscribed. and the pros
pect Of making the road is fattering- The
citizens Of Richmond have considerable in
terest in this work. as it will, at Paris, con
meet with turnpike leading to the edge Of
Darks county. from which place our mechan

customers. We hope our citizens will take

turnpikes in this county are paying handsome
dividends, and the one now proposed viii

Coz. Reedey.-The regular Washington
correspondent Of the New York Herald, says,
under date Of May I 5:
Governor Reeder. after short soiourn, has
disappeared, like mist, from the capital. with
out any one knowing either when. why, or
how be left. 1t is said he left with the en-
dorsement Of the executive, SO far rs his off
cial action had been concerned, but without
any promise Of the solicited aid to subject the
misunderstanding Missourians law and order.
He seriously proposed to the President to dis
solve the Kansas Legislature. but his propo-
sition was only the subject Of merriment. II
is said Mr.. Gushing asked him if he had not
given the members of the Legislature certifi
Gates that ''they were duly and legally cleo
ted" He answered he had. Then" said
Mr.. Cushing, (Which are we to believe and

ration here that all law and order was violated

his certainly rather surprising. to use
the mildes, possible term, that in the face
Of the thousand proofs and thousands OF sus'
picions that the affairs Of the Chicago Post
Olkre arc ftaudulently and moot Negligent
" managed, the President should continue
to leave il in charge Of the present incnm'
bent. The people Of large section OF coun-
Try west Of Chicago are interested that the
Oiice there should be properly kept. It's
very important one, but from wast we
have .learasd, that fact seems to have very
issie iaauence with the present Postmaster,
who, Is we understand. gives the most Of
his attention to various other occupauons :.
to the neglect Of the one which 1t is his
principal duty to attend to.
It's however, we believe, generally un-
derstood ,hs, Mr.. Douglas is kind Of Pro-
Consul for the province of Illinois. and that
over all matters aPpersaining to that State
which come under the supervision Of the
General Government, he has the acknowl-
edged, the undivided aud the unquesnoned
control. This being the case, in the ap-
pointment and retention Of officers in that
proconsulsr province, the three Jefersoni-
an iaterogatories are completely ignored,
end the chief, and in fact the only conside-
ration appears to be, whether the person
appointed or retained be an unquestioning
partizan Of Senator Douglas, and an un.
blushing supporter Of the Nebraska bill
We are aware that this delegation OF power
TO his own psrtizans, does not relieve the
President Of his proper and untransferable
responsibility in the premises. But it shows
how the affairs of the people are managed
BY the present Administration, and that
fact would give Us general right TO COM
ment upon it. even though the people Of
this and other portions Of our State were
not Interested in the proper management of
the Chicago Psst-Otice. The immediate
cause. however, of the foregoing remarks,
was the following paragraph from the Rock
ford Uii.l Democrat, which is one of the
numerous instances Of . similar character
that have lately made their apnearance.-
Abiding to a late breaking into the office
st Chicago, the Democrat says
"This reminds US that IS. G.. Chellis. an
extensive grocer of this city, on the Went
side. sent = large draft (as he Informs ue.)
. few days since Something over $500 if
ere recollect aright,) to Chicago, payable in
that city, and has not yet received any
returns from il; He has made every inqui-
ry in Chicago. but can learn nothing about
it. There is no question about its having
been duly forwarded BY the Postmaster Of
this city. and there are grounds for strong
inference that j, DISAPPEARED from the Chi
csgo Post Office. There are several big
"niggers in the fence" Of that establish
ment-and some Of them have been discov-

Houstons K. n letter, avails himself o!
the opportunity to reiterste his views upon
the Territorial question, and endorse TO the
fullest extent the doctrines contained in the

OF course he does. Nothing else was
expected from the original deviser of the
squaiter sovereignty doctrine. The Doug
las bill is the primary cause OF all the out
RACES that have been perpetraied in Kansas,
but We presume that Gen. Cass would con-
slider the proceedings Of Atchison and his

finally aud permanently established, they
ought to be viewed by the light of the doe

CIRCUS SOVEREIGNTY.

There was considerable excitemsn, in
Brook yn, N. Y, on the oath inst, in con-
sequence of determination expressed by
Franconi's Circus company to perform in
the city without having first obtained Ii
cense. The Mayor had forbidden them by
proclama tion but it was discovered that the
clause in the license law was a nullity be-
cause it had not been published. The
Board of Health then declared the company
q nuisance, dangerous to the health Of the
community, and the booths erected by the
company were ordered to be Geetroyed.-
The Mayor prepared to execute The order
but the police, having been warned that
they would be held individually responsible,
refused to serve. The affair was finally
compromised" by the company being al
lowed to perform near the Hall, instead of
on the spot which had been first chosen,
bu, ell the policemen who had refused to
obey orders were suspended.
We presume these circus men wished to
experiment little on the doctrine of "pop.
ular sovereignty" in their own behalf =
They see how beautifully it works in Kan
sas under the patronage Of the General Gov

disposed to try wha, virtue there is in a
