PHALANx TURN OUT.-The meeting
of the Phalanxers on Friday evening last
was respectable one numbering FIVE or
six hundled, large proportion of which
came hither to hear the inirnatable Ned
Marshall who it was announced in our pa
per would be present and Z eet our dough-
ty Governor on that accession. We were
not present when the Governor took the
stand, and therefore cannot say how he
was greeted by the audience, but during
the two mortal hours that we were on the
ground listening to the frequent sn,y fel-
low citizens" interlarded now and then
with something else "tot tedious to men,
sion,"' we did not hear the first cheer OF
sign of appreciation escape the. crowd.
They seemed to labor under the impres
sion that they were doing penauce for po
litical sins and were obliged to bear thu
severe finfictions of the Governor will
christian fortitude and resignation. No
a cheering response came from the solemn
auditory, till the Governor rolled off tn
stand and "Our Ned" walked on, whel
the wclkin rang with loud shouts of graft
6cation. Ned was exceedingly happy il
his hits, and Bigler must have keenly fel
the shafts of irony launched at him wit
truth telling aim. The mist attempted
be cast bef the eyes Of the people b
the Cover about his extreme desire I
retreneh expenditure, and the earnest at
tempts of the Democratic party, to lesse
the State debt and the burthens of taxa
ton, was cleared away, and the profes
sions compared with the practices Of Big
Ter and his supporters shown up in a mo:
ridiculous light by Marshall. The crow
was kept in state of side splitting laugh
ter for long time by our speaker, VIII
gave way to Col. Zabriskee who made a
excellent speech. Ned followed him gal
lantly, the flashes ofhis wit and eloquenct
d like cimeter in battle were seen at ever
blow he dealt on his antagonist. Zabris
kie closed the evenings entertainment i
good style, and at very late hour th
crowd dispersed perfectly satisfied wit
the intellectual treat they had enjoyed.

Naturalization of Foreigners,

The Democrat of this week true to its
instincts of discovering something ''infa-
nous" in nything which does not precise |
ly square with its own ideas, has raised
the cry of distress because of recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court concerning
the naturalization of foreigners, which de-
cision We give at length in another column.
The Democrat uses the following Ian
guage 3The infamous attempt to dis
franchise thousands upon thousands Of the
legal voters of this State, has in part sue
cceded, unless prompt action be taken.
Through Hindoo influence, the matter of
naturalization has bee brought up at this
| ate period, and sprung upon US just pre-
vious to our election" lig y /,
If this attempt is an "infamous'' one
the Democrat is the most candid and hon
est political sheet in the State. 1t is a
rare instance to meet a politician who
will openly confess the rascalities of the
leaders of his party, especially on the eve
of an election But these instances do
sometimes occur as we are assured by q
very fresh one before US. Our neighbor
is bound to see the fair thing done in pol
itics, and pitches in against some Of the
leaders of the Phalan1 party with hear
Ity good will. Tbs epithct used is not of
} the choicest kind. "Infamous" don't sound
very soft when used to designate the quail
+ tiles and character of the acts of political
friends. Bryan and Heydenfeldt, two
Phalanx Judges of the Supreme Court,
the former a candidate for the same posi-
ton on the Phalanx ticket, are guilty of a
most Infamous attemptto "disfranchise
thousands upon thousands of foreigners, y
at which our contemporary starts in holy
horror. Here are two anomalies in poll
tics. The Supreme Judges of State.
the state of California even, have the hon
esty to append their names to decision
which is likely to cut off large vote for
themselves and party, and partizan sheet
brands one of the candidates whose name
is upon the ticket at its mast head with
infamy. But it is no anomaly at all that
the sheet alluded to does not refuse to
support that candidate Notwithstanding the
, infamous character with which it has in
vested him. Bigler does not hesitate to
, increase his own chances by slaughtering
all the other candidates on the ticket he
heads, and our neighbor is willing to rap
two Phalanx Judges over the head, to get
chance at the knuckles of Murray who.
happens to concur in the decision, with
the others. Really, the attempt at en- ar
ticle, portion of which we have quoted,
is labored effort to prove "what is sauce
for the goose is not sauce for the gander. -
Bryan is all right, but Murray is damned
with eternal infamy, because he agrees
with him in an important decision.

Last night was the benefit of Mr.. A. r.
rhelPs, when was brought the famous play
of Nose in New York, which had so great
run in that city, and all through the
country. The original Nose was by Chan
frau who used to make pit and gallery ring
with his limitations of the b'hoy fireman.
MIR. Phelps was greatly successful in the
character, and we doubt if any one can
hereafter meet him on the street and not
smile at the recollection of Nose The
character a. of Lie was taken by Mrs. Bur-
rill, and of Jenny by Mrs. Stark, who
were real g'hals for the occasion.
The Robbers, tale of the forests Of
Bohemia was also played, in which Mr..
Stark appeared as Charles de Moor. Mr..
Phelps as Roller, and Mrs. Stark as Amelia
The house was crowded, and frequent ap-
plause greeted the beneficiary, and the
others.
Tonight will be for the benefit Of Mr.
Thompson, in which that beautiful play Of
London Assurance viii be repeated bv
particular request. We predict a crow
ded house for Thompson, as he surely de-
serves it.
