 Presidential candidates seem to multiply like FalissaiTss men in buckran,, the newest
 in the sequence (althongh the oldest in
 years1 being Commodore Vanderbilt of New York. Probably he WAS nominated hy the
 Jrrseymen as an offset to George Law,- steam rersus steam. -It has generally been supposed that Commodore Stockton was all in all with tl.e Jersey Blues, but it seems that his nose has been put out of joint by our Commodore. As regards Commodore
 VanderbIit's qualifications as statesman history is silent, but it cannot be denied
 that he established the Staten Island Fer Iries, held them as close monopoly for years and then sold them out to MT. Law
 and others for $500, 0,00o. From this cir cumstance probably he derived his tile of !CsmmodoIe. That he understands the Con- stitutiop as well as Daniel Webster did,
 wouid perhaps be saying too msch-bat it
 IS certain that he is worth over S, ,o00, eco, and that after William B. Astor and Ste I phen Whiting he passes for the richest man in New York. The two steaa candidates,
 Law and Vanderbilt, may be considered on par in most respects except wealth. In that very essential element of popularity,
 the Commodore is believed to hasathe ad-
 vantage of his rival by about s ,00. 300. It l is proper that the fact should be widely
 known, as it may serve to fix the determin-
 alton of waverers who are now hesitating
 which of the two to choose.
 Itappea-s that our Legislators perhaps by the effect of their ten days visit to this ciiy-rnade an awkward blunder in
 the wording of the prohibitory liquor law.
 The ctforbids the granting of new licenses
 in the place of those expiring on the first Iproximo, and does not substitute therefor Iany penal restrictions on the sale of liquor during the interval between that date and
 the Fourth of July: consequently we shall
 have two months of 'sno license',in law. and unbounded license in debauchery. MT.
 Hall, the district attorney, is of opinion
 that nc restriction can be imposed upon the retailing of intoxicating drinks between the first of May and the |" Glorious Fourth"
 Shall we not have nice time1 Such are the results of ten days spree, as prepara- tory to temperance legislation!
 1 The admission.of Morissey. Hyer, Lynn i and Van Pelt, charged with indirect par ticipation in the murder ot Poole, is in ac-
 cordance wit, law and precedent. Turner and Paugene, indicted as principals remain
 in prison awaiting trial, and it is hoped the
 Grapeshot ere long will return from the
 Canaries with Baker on board. Many per- sons think that Baker did not leave the ,country and that the search for him by sea i will prove wild goosechase. Nous rerrons.
 Senator Brooks of the Express, has esta-
 blished one of his charges against Arch
 bishop Hughes. Mir. Brooks stated that the relate held in his o,1n nan,e certain sstem-
 poraIities of the church, consisting of real
 estate in this city conveyed to him absolute ], ly by the trustees of the property. This the r Archbishop positively denied, but the truth , of the statements now placed beyond con troversey by series of extracts from the city records, published by Mir. Brooks. Sa- [ tire is sharp weapon, and Archbishop , Hughes wields it like an accomplished : master of fence; but Fact is two handed sword which no sopl,istry, however kcenly , edged with sarcasm can withstand.
 The Lieut. Governors paper-the daily Times is giving the cold shoulder to the ii- qaor law as containing very many provi- sions which coafict with the judgment of
 Judicious temperance men, and threaten the efficiency if not the existence of the law it. self.' The Tunes has blown hot and cold
 so often on the subject that i, is impossible to say wbether il is in favor of prohibito- Try liquor law or not. In fact, in relation to
 most questions upon which public opinion
 is divided, the Times is apprenticeship
 non-committai.
 The Commissioners of Emigration have just published statement from which it
 appears that they have spent about $50, ,OoO . in four months in forwarding, lodging and granting temporary relief,o emigrants. The
 Board is some $57,000 in debt. Mean
 while further consignments of foreign pau
 pers are on their way hithcr.
 Our police has given us specimen of its
 vigilance and efficiency by breaking up a
 gang of most expert counterfeiters.. Six including two female accomplices have been arrested. The principal scoundrel. John $.
