MIssoURT.-Most of the Atchison and Anti
Benton papers of Missouri have taken ground
in favor of Know Nothingism, and favor the
nomination of Atchison for the Presidency by
the Order. Among other Anti-Be papers
which now favor Know Nothingism are the
Hannibal american, 81. Louis Pilot, Jefferson
City Examiner, and Columbia Journal. The
adhesion of the lawless ruffians who hang around
the skirts of ex-senator Atchson to the cause of
Know Nothingism, is enough to open the eyes
of every friend of Freedom.-M T. Tribune.
GENERAL CULLoM.-The Nashville Tenn. J
Banner of the 18th instant says that General
Cullom, the distinguished Wing Representative
from Tennessee, and one of the men who voted
against the Nebraska Bill, is making a splendid
canvass in his district. The Banner says: He
addressed his fellowcitizens of Jackson, in his
usual happy, bold, and convincing manner. His
courage against the Nebraska Bill, and his
warm advocacy of American principles, met
with universal applause, and will tell favorably
at the ballotbox. He is decidedly popular, and
gaining strength every day, and will get bet
ter vote than he has ever DONE"

LARs-What is to be done with the three hun
dred and seventy-eight dollars seized by the
police from the doorkeeper, the other night, of
the free love club? If our authorities have
any authority over that money we would sug-
gest that it be appropriated to the relief Of
that unfortunate woman who was first ruined
by these free love denominations, and then
deserted by the fraternity, to starve, with her
child, in garnet, and to such other cases of
the kind as may be known to exist. This
whole business will be a proper subject for the
consideration of our next Legislature. And

WISE prsus ToOMBs.-Hon. Henry A. Wise,
Of Virginia. in answer to an invitation to de-
liver lecture on slavery to the Boston aboli-
tionists, gave them piece of his mind, and
the most helligerent refusal. He was not in the
mood for talking to them, but was prepared
at any time to fight them. Senator Toombs, of
Georgia, on the other hand, accepts their in
vitation, and has promised to give those Bos-
ton negro worshippers lecture to their
hearts content. He will meet them on their
own dunghill, single handed, and with their
own weapons. Therefore, while we may APP
prove the contempt and the wrath of Wise, we
can hardly deny that Georgia beats the chival-
~ of the Old Dominion.

NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY OCTOBER 90 1856.

IMMIGRANT PAupERs--We publish to-day q
heightened report adopted by the Commission
ers of Emigration on Thursday afternoon. This
document fully explains the late quarrel De-
tween the Governors Of the Almshouse ana the
Commissioners, about which so much has been
written. The Governors claim that the CON-
missioners owe them large sum OF money 1or
the maintenance of immigrant paupers who
have from time to time been sent to the Island
for vagrancy and other misdemeanors, while
the Commissioners allcge that they have more
than an offset to this claim in the expense they
have incurred in providing for the children OF
immigrants born here, and who were, therefore,
clearly entitled to support from the Almshouse
fund. They also maintain their old position,
that when persons are committed for vagrancy
their expenses are not chargeable to the immi-
grant fund, because they came upon the city,
not as INDECENT immigrants, but as persons who
are to be punished for committing INSIDE
meanors. 1t seems to us that this point is we'll
supported by the Commissioners, and that it is
quite impregnable.
The Commissioners are in a delicate position
before the public, being deeply in debt, and
Just commencing new enterprise, which IS
attended with great expense The Know
Nothing excitement and other causes have ar
arrested immigration and lessened the fund.
Under these circumstances, it seems to US that
the Governors should approach the subject
with more patience; and that even if they are
right, they should be willing to give the Com,
missioners further time, and to assist them in
their difficulties, instead of throwing obstacles
in their way.
