tence of such a party at this time in New
York. There are actually not FIVE thousand
persons in the whole State disposed to vote the
Hard ticket, or VIC are much mistaken Quite
half the delegates and three-fourths of the
outsiders who attended their late convention
ut Syracuse were members of Know Nothing
lodges, or avowed sympathisers with Know
| Nothingsm; among the latter class being Mr..
Daniel S. Dickinson, who finds it for the in
terest of Know Nothingism to deny the soft
| impeachment at times, to the infinite amuse.
nsent of his intimates at Binghamton, who are
all well aware that his whole political alsc-
tons are now wrapped up in the success Of
| Know Nothingism. The Hard State commit
tee assembled few days since in New York
city, and one-half Of the members present
were as VIGOROUSLY members of Know Nothing
lodges as "Ned Buntline' or Mr. President
Barker themselves-one of the secretaries of
| the committee being Know Nothing nominee
for State office
Their pretence for keeping up State Hard
organization is simply to cheat the handful of
impracticable Hards left into refusing to vote
for the Soft candidates-not that they them
selves have the slightest idea of voting for
others than the regularly nominated Know
Nothing candidates The Hards in the City
OF New York, where the organization was,
not many months since, stronger than that of
the SOfts, with E. D. Hart Ed. c. West, J. B.
Haskins, Daniel E. Sickels, ct al, at their
head, have gone back into Tammany
Senator Atchison-We coincide with the
New York Tribune in the belief that there
must be something wrong in the news of the
reelection of the Hon. David r. Atchison to
the United States Senate published in cur tel
graphic columns on Saturday. The last two
ballots are said to have been as follows:
Sd. 4th
David Il. Atchison ................24 IS
Thomas III. Benton. ...............13 10
Samuel III. WOOdson. y
NJ. NJ. Marmaduke. Observation-Disclosures. 3
The Legislature of Missouri is composed of
ljl members; so much less than quorum
must have participated in this election, if it
came OF as is alleged. According to our un
derstanding, the Legislature of Missouri were
not to have assembled until December.
1t can hardly fail to turn out, it strikes us,
that there is something Of hoax at the bot
tom Of this news.
Dead.-Our Alexandria readers will hear
with great pain Of the death of tho late ven
cradle DR.. Carson, particulars Of which are in
our obituary columns to-day. He was a GEL
uine Irish gentleman-one of fine attainmeuts,
chivalric ideas, genial disposition and benevo-
Ience OF heart that knew no limit but his
means. He lived life time in Alexandra,
where all knew him but to love and confde in
h;m.
Naval Regorm.-We believe that the Presi-
den: to-day signed the order under which the
Secretary of the Navy will carry out the deci-
sions Of the Naval Reform Board recently in
session in this city Tomorrow, we presume,
the Union will contain 4 sort Of summary of
the action of the President under the boards
recommendation, without the names Of those
who are to be dropped or put on leave-ofab-
sence pay, dc.
