as showing which Ct the Anti-NebrasEa men thus

The proposal to appoint 8 temporary Speaker
was withdrawn yesterday, on the ground that as
the House lad irually abandoned its resolution
TO sit in permanence until an organization should
be effected, such an officer would not be necessary
On proceeding to ballot Mr. Banks came within
three votes Of being elected and on a second
trial within four. This is E nearer spProach TO
eni ing the contest than has before been made. We
trust it is an ausury of speedy contamination by
the election Of Mr.. Banks.

NEW-ORLEANS AGAIN.

There are in NeH-Orlesns 1900 grOgshops to a
population OF S0000-t that is, one grogshOp 10
every twenty nine persOns-ifthe statistics afforded
US are correct, as we take them to be. Now.
under such state of things, can we wonder at the
statement we lately compiled from the NewOr.
lears press of the murders committed in q single
month in that city There are, however in New
Orleans some persons who appear to be aware Of
the monstrous iniquity and impOlcy Of having such
stream Of drunk mess flowing every day in the
year without interruption, and an effort, accord
irgly. has been made In tho Board OF Aldermen to
shut up the grogshops on Sun2ay. The debate
thefeupOn was curious
Mr. Culbertson strongly opposed the measure !
i, could, he said, never become law OF the city
if it did a civil war w,uld be the consequence
There would be difficulty in convincing the free
people of New Orleans that Themselves and fathers
bad been erripg all their lives. The old popula-
ton" would not allow the municipal authorities 10
interfere with their rights to keep the Sabbath as
best suited them. He supposed that in short
time New-Orleans would be something like
Boston, where a man could not ride morse
through the streets, or smoke cigsr-apd where
although they steal cur slaves they will not take
care of them sfterward
The question of closing the theaters on Sunday
was at the same time under discussion, on whi,h
Mr.. Tonpkins said he was willing to strike out
the theaters, but would insist upon shutting up
the coffee. houses. He did not wish to inter
fere with the New Orleans Theater, as it was re-
spectacle pace-by no means such nuisance ss
the I'D town theaters, which were disgnacetzl
However, were it not for the French opera he
would go for closing the theaters altogether. This

evening. The meeting being announced as the
last of the Board as at present organized, there
was an unusually large number Of persons pres

the resolution ordering the work Of regulating

cial report from the Briggs Committee. Most of
the evening was consumed by discussions. The
report to increase the salaries Of the Lieutenants
Of Police from $500 to 81 ,OCO was non-concurred
in. The Committee of this Board on the subject
took occasion to severely criticse the character
of the Police Department. After the usual cere.

The American Party and its Nom.
inaticns.

The recent nominations for District and
County Offices by the American party, exh.
bit the fact that the party among Us is com
posed Of n large proportion Of persons who
formerly belonged TO The Democratic party.
or else that all the talent and capablity Of the
members Of The Know Nothing Order in this
District and County are comprised in those
gentlemen wi formerly bed themselves
Democrats The nominees for Senator, Dis
irict Judge, and Member Of Assembly. all
formerly hailed from the Democratic ranks
aud some still claim that they arc vet Dem
ocrats, and ilst the party has deserted them
not they the party. Are the Wing members
Of The Order composed Of such poor material
that not one could be found among them
worthy Of a District or County Office? Or
il It that the success in wire working and
managing Conventions which distinguished
Democratic party, has been transferred to .he
new political Order, and that the spoils are
sui 10 be apportioned and appropriated ac-
cording to the dictum Of the old party man
ayers
The greatest danger which the American
party has to dread. arises from the corrupt
ing influences which old party politicians
will bring into the new Order. They cannot
lay aside those tricks and traflickings which
for years have been the bano Of the old po.
litical parties, aud which have disgusied all
honest, right thinking, conscientious men,
with politics and politicians.
The people have looaed to The American
party with the hoIe that relief from this
state of things would be found in the ranks
Of those clhining to be the advocates Of re-
form, and proclai'nng as their motto - Let
the Office seek the man, not The man the
ofiice"--thry hoped that the power Of po-
ltical lrlcksiers was at an end-that the time
had come when true worth, true merit would
BE- alone recognized as the qualifications re-
quiste to secure elevation TO Office. But if
the proiesscd principles Of THE reform party
are 10 consist merely n worJs--if the dis.
gushing scramble for place and power is to be
re-cnacted in its ranks-if the old party
tricks are to be played over again if the
wles aud Vaccinations Of wre-workers and
party hacks are to control its actions-if the
reform is not real, but only moekcry of
