Lore in fetters, Broadpay tears! g Great Pan Is
dead and Tenus aphro.ie has gone up a balloon"
The latest sensation in Gotham is the disso-
luton of the Grand Order of Recreation, /"
otherwise called the Free Love Union. Last
night the Police of the 9Th and the l4th wards
exhibited new spasm of vigilance by an ir-
ruption into the meetings of this society, and
an arrest Of some of its leaders, amoug others,
of the well-known Albert Brisbane. On Mon
day evening the 18th inst, the rooms of the
Association were crowded by an assemblage Of
many of the most beautiful ladies of the con-
Germ, and many of our prominent citizens, pO-
litical and literary who were no doubt present
merely from curiosity. The Editorial corps Of
the TINES and TRIBUNE were especially well
represented. About 10 o'clock, p. NJ. prom
inent Senatorial candidate and moustached
prospective assemblyman the one sweet on candy
and the other writer of tales, delivered them
selves of pent-up eloquence. The consequence
was an indefinite amount Of cheers, and the up
roariOus endorsement of the American ticket.
Our indignant Fourierite proclaimed that the
ubiquitous and all powerful Order of the
Templars had taken possession of the meeting.
The ladies vanished and the dance languished a
faint discussion about the centre of the peri
phery" of passional attraction continued in
some secluded corners but the "Templars' SEEM
ed to "have it, and the meeting adjourned
The next day the TRIBUNE and the EXPRESS
opened their heavy guns against :. Free Love- "
consequently the Police last night were called
in to assist and therefore Love was put in the
Station House and Broadway is in tears. No
further meetings will be held until the advent Of
Brigham Young.
During the week we have had an exhibition
of the Dark Lantern" in the Park A Know
Nothing Mass Meeting was held on Wednesday
From the Express we extract the most import
ant items. That very fast " sheet states that
it was IN most numerous meeting" that live
eagle was an amusing incident and that q
certain Col. May made speech to - stay the
infatuation of the multitude. The procession
dwindled down to nothing We opine this is
the last kick of " Sam" Where's Capt Toone
and where is Brooks the next governor of the
Empire State? Echo! Wait for the wagon
The Reformers have been galvanized into life
tor the last time and have nominated ticket
composed of about an equal number of Wings
and Democrats. Old Peter Cooper, as usual,
was made the cats paw. How often good
hearts accompany soft heads.
The most successful literary effort of the day
is the Biography of Geo. Law. 1t is distribu-
ted gratis, at every county fair, at every X. n.
council, and even usurps the seats of the rail-
way cars. If the Presidency is to be given out
by contract to the lo,cest bidder, George will be
the man.
The Temperance folks have not yet made
their nominations. They and the Republicans
are about the last in the field. They have a
chance to make pole long enough to knock
the persimmons. The political batteries of
New York send their electric vibrations over
the Union. Therefore each move Of the opera
tors is worth noting.
4 straight out Wing State Convention is to
assemble in this city on the 23d proximo. The
probable result will be merely the endorsement
of the American State Ticket.
The exposure of Mayor Woods contract for
raising the ship Joseph Walker has been
but the beginning of series of disclosures and
indictments which create much excitement at
home and abroad. The Mayor has obtained
the indictment Of half dozen city officials and,
per contra, Alderman Herrick is publishing in
the Sunday Atlas, sort Of biography of the
Mayor under the title of Records of Rascali-
ty." Both parties are exceedingly bitter 1t
is well for lockers on to remember that very
small sum of money will purchase an affidavit
upon which charges may be preferred against
almost any man in public station. 1t is proba-
BILE that neither party is as corrupt as they are
charged to be. ..~ ..
Rachel is going to Boston next week and
Mons. Raphael Felix will have an opportunity
to commence in new field, and profit by the
lessons he has received here. His popularity
needs an airing, and would be improved doubt
less, by visit "down cast" ~
