VACANT HOUSES. The Baltimore American Of
the 10th ult. says:
Therenever were probably more vacant houses
in the city than at this time, but they are gen
orally Of the larger class and high rents. Ii is
particularly the case in the twentieth ward
where nearly all the houses erected have been
Of the character in question. Several years
ago the demand for the better class Of houses in
this section of the city was more than equal to
the supply, which caused many persons to build,
until many are now vacant, and there is no IN
qulry for them. The sarne is the case IN othe u
sections Of the city, while there ia but few small
houses to be found unoccupied anywhere: There
is great number of small houses in the city
but they all seem to be occupied. and there is
still demand for more Those houses lying
idle are held at rents ranging from three hun
dred to FIVE hundred dollars, and there seems to
be no probability Of their being taken, as many
have been completed for several months without
o tenant

much the other day, but he was mistaken. The reso-
luton referred TO is follows:

il saying that the powers Of the Federal government
are defined aud limited, the Republicans virtually deny
its sutAority q impose protective tariff. Such non.
sense dots o. merit serious consideration. Would

The Cincinnati Gazette puts forward the name Of
Mr. Lewis D. Campbell 81 Ohio as the right man
fer the Office Of Speaker for the House of Repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Campbell is by no means destitute
of ability but even supposDg that his character
and temper are such as to fit him for so eminent
position, there is fact in his recent history, which,
unless it is satisfactorily explained, must disqualify
him, 80 far as the support Of the strenuous friends
of Freedom is concerned. We allude to his at
tempt to induce the Northern members OF the
Know-Notbing National Council, held at Philadsl-
pbia in June last to succumb to the pretenslons OF
the slave oligarcby. We have repeatedly charged
Mr. Campbell with such an attempt, but he has
not seen fit to clear himself frem the mputaton'
Till be succeeds in doing So we spprehend that he
cannot be taken into consideration as Republican
candidate for the speakership.

The Commercial Advertiser denies with great
positiveness that the Straight Wings have decided
to vote the Soft ticket, or that Gov Hunt has
written letter advising such course. We esti-
mate this denial at its full value but at the same
time we must say that our authority for the exist
ence of such letter and for such determination on
the part of the Wing champions, is quite as good
as any that can be brought on the other side. In
deed we are enabled to assert again, and with
quite as much certainty as before The Commercials
l. denial, that an arrangement has been completed
between the Straight Wings and the SottS, by
which the former are TO fuse with the latter. In
saying this DO not mean in the slightest degree to
impeach the yeraclty of The Commercial. The prob
ability is that the leaders of its little party have
not thought that SO interesting secret could yet
be cOnfded to it with safety Not that they doubt
its dOcility its discretion is what they apparently
do Lot rely on.
In fact, however, The Commercial frankly adj.
mts that ii would prefer the success of any other
ticket to that of the Republicans and advises the
Straight Wings TO come to some such conclusion
as we have already attributed TO them, by which
all their votes may be cast for the same ticket as
the most efTectual means of securing the end they
have at heart. Whether this can best be gained
BY fusiDg with the Natives or the SOtS our cOtem-
pOrary does not yet know, but will probably un-
derstand in q few days. Meanwhile, it rather
ems to prefer the Hindoo connection, which is
perhaps only natural, seeing that so many of
re pretended WHY'S long since became
members of that Happy Family. But

vas inadvertently copied into our last, on which
the names Of Hessd s Smith for the Ist aud George
T. Pierce for the Xth Ulster District appear.
Nj W S Smith has received Wing nomination,
but we believe not that Of the Republicans. As at

titled to the Republican support in that district,
especially that Of Temperance men. Mr.. Pierce
in the Xth has been Soft, and we believe is the
Soft nominee. He may be the Republican also, but
we think Iot We shall ascertain and reflect.

A correspondent in Europe desires us to correct $
report which charged Mr.. Daniel United States min.
lister at Turin, with wearing an official livery at court
We co so with pleasure, though we have areadypub'
Hshed an emphatic denial Of the imputation in the
form of letter from Mr.. Daniel himself. In that
letter as may be remembered, be made some allusion
to he gsric-eatng habits and general bad manners Of
people a; that court and otherwise expressed himself
with memorable frankness. However, he deserves
credit for not putting on livery coat aud for being
with all his eccent ictes, one of the manifest and
hesitiest fellows among the whole diplomatic crew.
