ADvAScE payment roR NEWSPAPERS. No
subscriber worth retaining will object to the
pay-n-advance system. Those who went to
hear Jenny Lind sing had to pay in advance
and what were her divinest strains compared
with those which flow from Editorial pens -
You can't take seat in rickeiy mail-coach,
or fly-from-the track railroad car, without pay
ing in advance for the risk of being killed
If you would hear concert or literary lecture,
or see Tom Thumb, or the Samese twins, you
must plank down your twenty-five cents, before
you can pass the threshold. Nay, if any one
has so little regard for his own character as to
want to read Barnum's autobiography, he must
first pay for it. And yet men hesitate and cavil
about paying in advance for a paper furnished
at price on the very brink and utmost verge
of prime cost.-Cicreidad Herald.

A terrific raid upon female fraility seems now
to be in progress in the moral city of Gotham
Easy virtue is forbidden to traverse the streets
by night, on pain of being sen, to the Penlienti-
airy under the vagrant act, and catalogued, with
names, ages, and residences appended, in the
morning papers. About hundred women have
been caught by the police in two consecutive
hauls; meanwhile the betrayers are permitted
to run at large, unquestioned. There is good
deal of one-sided justice in this enlightened age
and country. A retired merchant who recently
owned pew in Grace church (he is dead now,
we believe) was the proprietor of four houses Of
prostitution in that city. But he was rich

CINCINNATI ELFrrioN AND RIor.-The Gin
cinnaii election ie undecided, frauds having
been discovered in the twelfth ward, of which
it proposed to throw out the entire vote, which
will give Taylor, the American candidate for
mayor, about hundred majority. If the en-
tire vote of the city is counted, the whole dem
ocratic ticket is elected by from 500 to 1000
majority. There was no more rioting Monday
evening. 1t is supposed that len OF twelve
persons were either killed or MORALLY wound
cd, and the wonder is that the loss of life was
not greater, pistols being discharged indiscrim-
inatcly 1t was altogether the most disgrace
full election scene that ever occurred in Cinciu-
natl
The excitement was still intense Tuesday
evening. The foreigners had recovered the
cannon taken from them, and the Americans
had demanded it, and threatened to go and take
it, and serious riot seemed unavoidable. II
was reported that Taylor would not accept the
mayoralty on account of the illegal voting

The "Sayings Of Americans in Europe"
might form an amusing duodecimo. Such as
for instance When Louis Philippe said to
the Kentuckian that he had seen in Kentucky
people sleeping three in bed, he replied,
"Well, they think iwo's enough now - Up
on the presentation Of gentleman to Louis Ma
goeon he said IS | was in Europe, sire, when
your illustrious father was on the throne "
Upon the introduction Of one Of our young mi
iiia officers to the Duke Of Wellington, the
Duke remarked "You are rather young, Sir,
to have acquired that grade - to which the
other replied, 81 am just the age your Grace
was at Waterloo" Nothing could have been
better than this rejoinder, history saith not, I
believe, whether the Duke pursued the CONVEX
sation after this repulse. Let some capable
person come to Europe and collect the annals
of his countrymen abroad and with the aid OF
few skelchy illustrations, he might get up a
book that would delight two hemispheres and
produce very healthy effect besides.

CONGRESSIONAL MORALITY We were inf
nitely amused three or -four weeks ago by
practical joke in Washington city upon humber
of nice men Of Congress, It was too good to
be left unpublished.
A couple Of merry fellows, one of them dis
tinguished member Of Congress from southern
State, and the other a distinguished executor
from Kentucky, connected letter purporiing to
be addressed by young lady to very fine
looking gentleman. 1t was got up in frsi-raie
style. The pretended young lady set forth
therein that she had several times seen the gen
lleman she was addressing, that she was capti-
waited by his fine face and manly form, that her
heart was deeply touched by all she saw and
heard Of him, that she must make his acquain-
lance before his departure from the city, that
she hoped and prayed he would forgive her
seeming bodness as il was the first imprudent
act Of her life, that she had always moved and
was still moving in the highest circles of the
capital, that she would be upon certain square
of certain street at precisely ie O'Clock on the
following day, in a dress which she described
with great peculiarly, and that she hoped and
trusted he would meet her and thus afford her
an opportunity Of brief personal intercourse
with the idol Of her heart The two wugs had
between thirty and forty copies Of this letter
written by a female friend Of THEIRS and they
sent these copies to between thirty and inriy
members of Congress, selecting those of course
who were known to entertain very exalted
opinion Of their own personal destinations.
Everything being thus arranged, the two jo-
kers called upon us and another yonng gentle
man, explained what they had done, and invi.
ted US to get into their carriage, ride with
them to the point Of designation, and soc the
sights. We unhositaiingly consented. and VT
saw sights sure enough. Riding upon tho des
ignated square, we beheld the whole Of III,
thirty or forty members, Northern men AMI
Southern men, Wings, Democrats, and Know
Nolhings, walking to and fro, all gazing earn
cstly in every direction and at every femal,
figure, to discover the objec. of their anxious
search.
We concluded that, if few more copies o
the letter had been sent to the members Of ih'
House Of Representatives, the House woul,
have had to adjourn for the want Of a quorum
