Il has been officially announced by some of the
leading hotels in New York city, that on and after
the LIST Of May, the charge for board would be SO
per day. The Astor, st. Nicholas and New York
have raised their prices or account we believe, Of
the high price Of beef pork, and potatoes The
metropolitan Hotel continues the old charge Of
81 SO per day and il is the intention OF the pro-
prietors TO make no change, under any circum-
stances short Of famine. With -four at SO per
barrel, potatoes at 81 so per boshel, and other
articles in proportion, il does not pay very well
at 50 so per day. but the proprieors Of the Metro
politan believe that for the year through the old
prices will be sufficiently remunerative, and they
also believe that hotels should take their chances
with other kinds OF business, good seasons with
the bad. Uniformity in prices, is an important
matter with the travelling public, and the Metro
politan will adhere 10 the old rate through sum
mer and winter.

In the telegraphic report Of the speech Of
Governor Reeder at Easton, on the Both ult,
there occurred a number of vituperative ex.
pressions put into his mouth by the reporter
and due more to the tinge impaired by the feel
ings Of the reporter than to the speaker. We
are fully authorized to deny the correctness OF
that report, and especially the expression OF
"border yufians," DC, which, we are assured,
Governor Reeder did not use. The full report
Of those remarks published by us is the only
correct and reliable one.

has disowned the vituperative expressions at
tributed to him in that report, and we are happy
to transfer to our columns the above denial.
We wish, however, for his own sake as well as
Others that this report had not been permitted for
two weeks to gouncontradicted Candorcompels
us to say, however, that while the full report OF

DEMOCRATIC MEETING I'm ALEX

We were present last evening at the meeting
OF the unialtering Democracy of Alexandria.
They were addressed by John Randolph Tucker,
esq, of Winchester, who was advertised for
Wednesday evening, but an accident to the
Manassas cars prevented his reaching the city
IN time. of his speech it is not fit we should
speak; but of the line spirit, the enthusiasm,
the earnestness, of that meeting, we have a
right to speak. .@s
There were about eight hundred present, and
many of them the leading Wings of the city
and vicinity, who listened with profound atten-
ton and respectto the speaker Of the evening,
notwithstanding the Secret Order held meet
ing in the lower apartment of the same build
ing. Mr.. Tucker gave the most cheering ac-
counts from the Va1ey, large portion OF
which he has traversed during the canvass.
We saw gentlemen from other sections of the
State who represent the activity of our friends
and their confidence in the success of our
ticket, as universal. ss.aa s

The Committee of the Massachusetts Legis-
lature appointed to inquire into the conduct OF
Mr.. Joseph HISS, one of the members of the
"Nunnery Committee made their report on
Tuesday. The committee state that they have
found no evidence of improper condnct by Mr..
Hiss of Roxbury, Except his assertion that he
had been brought up in Catholic college, that
he designed to return to the church, and that
his name was Evans" In reference 10 the
visit to Lowell the committee sustain all the
charges of improper conduct which have been
imputed to Mr.. Hiss, characterizing it as dis
graceful both to himself and the House Of which
he is member, and such as to render him
unworthy longer to occupy his seat The report
has not yet been considered by the House.
The concluding paragraph is as follows.
"Looking at these facts, considering all these
circumstances, from that standpoint from
which men are accustomed to view the actions
Of others, and applying to them with great care
the knowledge which men ordinarily possess of
their fellow-men, we are fully convinced that
Mr.. Hiss paid from the funds Of the Common.
wealth, and knowingly, too, the bill Of Mrs
Patterson, at Lowell, on the both March last,
she being at that place with his knowledge and
for the purpose we have before stated.
Owe consider his conduct upon the commit
tee at Lowell, highly improper, and disgraceful
both to himself and this body, of which he is
member and we deem it such as to render
him unworthy longer TO occupy seat upon
the Aoor-of this House.
"Mr. Hiss presented an extraordinary me.
mortal to the house, in which he makes charges
against other members"
The following despatch was reviewed last
evening.

EDITORS COURT OF HONOR.

serious dispute recently arose in Madrid
between two editors, which was on the eve of
leading to bloodshed, when it was submitted
to a peaceful arbitration, through the we'll
timed exertion Of judicious friends. Not only
this, but an arrangement was made for the
settlement Of all future difficulties among the
editorial corps in the capital Of Spain, by the
same reasonable means. We translate the fol-
lowing from El Clamor R1blico, Of Madrid, Nv
Neao York Courier. . S'' Is /,
TRIBUNAL OF HoNoR.--On Thursday,
March 18th, a meetins Of Periodiots held
in the Office Of the Diario Espanol, for
the purpose, of forming among themselves
q sort of tribunal of honor, which, according
to ancient rule of arbitrament, shall decide
personal questions arising between them. By
this means, disputes may be prevented from
degenerating into personalities of an evil kind,
and at the same time from being settled on
ground where they unfortunately are too often
brought, and where right or reason does not
decide them. This we think very good idea;
and we heartily wish that court may prevent
the unpleasant litigations which more than
once have been carried on in the public tribu-
nails by writer's against writers, to the injury of
the dignity of the press and the mutual dis
credit of parties. 1t will be composed of six
gentlemen of the press, who will take turns
monthly. Those now appointed are the editors
OF the Occ'dente Espana, Esperdnza, Sober
ania Espanol and Ctdmor Plblico"
Personalities These are the fruitful causes
of quarrels and duels between editors. The
true theory of conducting newspaper is to
Write Of a man precisely as we would speak to
that man. All the courtesies and amenities of
life should be observed in the one, as in the
other case. The rights of editors are simply
and solely the rights of persons-for editors
are not officials. Sometimes it is Necessary to
speak harshly to man, sometimes to write
harshly Of him. What renders necessary, and
what justifes the one, will equally apply to the
| other They are on the same footing. The
DULLES of the press are generally the black
guards Of the press, and they would still be
DULLES and blackguards had they never entered
the editorial profession.
The above arrangement may embody good
idea. The intention is certainly good But
we cannot distinguish between editorial and
individual insults, between editorial and indi-
vidual adjustments. An insult is an insult
and all gentlemen, without regard to their
professions, are equally capable Of Judging
them. But Of one thing we are certain. 1t is,
that any profession will be degraded, and de-
serve degradation, when its members disregard
the courtesies Of life, and habitualy employ dis
paraging and insulting epithets.

BosToN, May l0.-The Senate to-day passed

A majority of the Governors Council are
adverse to his decision retaining Judge Loring
in Office. His decision appears to give salts.
faction in Boston, but probably will act against
the future political prospects Of the Governor
in the State at large.
If Governor Gardner has refused to remove
Judge Loring, he has displayed degree Of
manliness and independence which we we're
not prepared to expect from him. With both
branches Of the Legislature, his own privy
council and the whole believing herd Of Mas
sachusetts fanatics, demanding the removal Of
Judge Loring, it required more frmness, more
right mindedness, and more courage 10 refuse
compliance with the demand, than We had
supposed was possessed by any Massachusetts,

to learn that there is one man in place and
power in Massachusetts, who is not thoroughly
demented, and not thoroughly demoralized

The Know-nothings in New England evi
IDENTIFY contemplate the assumption Of extrem,
antislayery ground as Distinguishing charac
istic Of their organization. The plan there
seems TO be "fusion" with the freesoil ele.
ment and with the Wings, who, to great ex
tent, are ready to occupy an abolition platform.
This is the present position of Know-nothingism
in Massachusetts, and New Hampshire In
Connecticut it viii probably readily take the
same ground. 1t has already swallowed up
the Wing party in that State, and is composed
so largely Of Wings that it will naturally
adopt their ideas and fall into sympathetic as.
ISOLATION with the order in the other New
England States.
OF course the abolition complexion Of New
England Knownothingism is the reverse Of
the physiognomy Of Americanism in Virginia
and other southern States, and it now begins
to be serious question whether this new order
can assume national character, or whether
its bark will be wrecked upon the rocks of the
slavery agitation. We have little doubt that
the prominent men who lead Know.nothino ism
in New England-Sumner, Wilson, Hale,
Burke, and others-intend TO use its power as
a weapon against slavery, and we are greatly
msinformed if some progress has not already
been made in this movement, by concerted
effort to direct attention to q southern candi-
date for the Presidency, who is expected, in
case his election can be secured, to carry out
