City Government.

In the Common Council on Wednesday eve
ming, the following petitions were referred
E. Lincoln for compensation for land used BY
the city at the corner of North and From
streets (; John Smith et ais. for sidewalk
from North to Crescent street, on High street
j. c. l.. Booker et ais to have South stree
graded and put in good order.
Leave was granted Geo. F. and James I
Patten for use of street, at corner of Pearl and
Washington streets, for building purposes
also to VIM. Larrabee for same purposes, or
York street.
An order was passed TO purchase the Tuck
er lot at $500; also to instruct the committee or
schools and school houses, to alter the contract
for building South end school,
An order to instruct the City Marshal to
enforce the statute concerning the Lords day.
and cause all I" Barber's Shops, Cigar, Con
fectionary, and other establishments, hereto
fore open for purposes of business on that day
to be in future closed" was discussed in the
Common Council, and laid over to the nexl
meeting.
The NEXT CoSaREss the information
of the free soilers and politicians of all parties,
we publish TO day classified list Of the men,
bers already elected 10 the approaching Con-
eress, and an estimate Of those yet to be elec-
ted, and the general result. From ihose tables
It will appear that the Anti-Nebraska free soil
ers have very little To boast Of, and that their
prospects for repeal of the Kansas and Ne
braska bill, are exceedingly slim. In fact, we
make ou, clean majority in favor Of The bill.
Let the Anti Nebraska politicians consult this
list for the next Congress, Il has been care
fully made up in this office, and we believe il
to be correct. The results are very curious,
and very encouraging TO the friends of the
Union and the constitution. The Seward anti
slavery coalition are welcome 10 all they can
make Of ii. The North is not SO very roiten
after all.-N Y. Herald.
The Herald's table makes ont a majority of
10 in the next House of Representatives in ia
vor of the Nebraska bill The boasts of the
abolilionsts that the Missouri Compromise
would be restored by the next Congress will
turn out falsely, as all their predictions do.

Eonnet-To the Kennebec.

o, noble river, flowing ever, by my boyhoods home,
Tho oft sever gladly ever, to thy banks come;
0 what pleasuse, sea Of azure, on summers day,
In ghtsome boat to careless float and dream the hours
away;
Or beauteous river stream Of silver meath the full moons
beams
The stars to trace thy face and watch their changing
gleam;
How grand thy motion toward the ocean, steady deep and
slow
As from the mountain streams and fountains onward thou
dost flow
Mid fields Of flowers rocky towers forests dark and old,
Rest unknowing flowing for ages hast thou rolled.
Thy blue the light bore along the tide
Now lofty ships do kiss thy lips apd thy psom ride
And range tho all else change, yet there's friend
on earth,
Constant ever thou noble river by the home which
me birth. PHRINx.

A SMALL coNTRIBUTIoN.-In the church OF
the holy communion in New York, last Sun

From the Louisville (Ky.) Democrat.
K. N. Election Riots in Louisville.

Outrdges and Bloodsled- One Hundred Per-
sons hnjured.-Saturday morning early a
crowd of jackals, hyenas and bawdy-house
bullies took possession of the polls in the First
and Second wards, swearing that no anti-know
nothing, foreigner or not, should be allowed
to vote, or even approach the polls, and they
kept their word faithfully. A few of the in
cldents we will give our readers.
An aged German, some 60 years old, was
standing on the door-sll of his house on Clay
street, near Main, saying nothing 10 anybody
when the crowd assaulted him, dragged him
into the street, and beat him. r. +. Baird
ESQ.,, endeavored TO protect him but without
avail
An old German, apparently about 70 years
of age, was beaten almost 10 Jelly, and left
covered with blood. Young Bamberger, in
quietly passing along, was pursued for sever
al squares, and succeeced in escaping only by
hiding in an old building.
The Democrat gives nearly column Of
other specific outrages and concludes with the
following =
Mr.. William Gray, who had been quietly
watching most Of the forenoon for an opportu-
nifty to vote without meeting violence, and who
returned after dinner, at last took advantage
of the absence Of the crowd, which was off
chasing some unfortunate foreigner, snd de-
posted his vote. On coming out, he was
stopped by one OF the crowd, which was re-
turning, and struck on the head
Mr.. Gray was seen to replace his hat, and
then drawing double barreled pistol, fred !;
before he could fire the second barrel, three
pistols were fired at him he shot the second
time and fed no less than fifteen or twenty
shots being fired after him. He fled into a
stock yard and endeavored to hide behind a
pig-pen eight balls were picked out of the
fence behind which he took refuge six holes
were made in his hat, and two balls were
lodged in his body; one in the aeshy part of
each thigh.
Officers Gilmore and Hammond interfered
and took him home in a wagon. With the
exception of this interference there were no
police about the city marshal was not or the
ground all day; the know nothing mayor was
not there deputy sheriff was appealed to, to
preserve the peace, but replied that he was
quiet man, and the people must take care Of
themselves.
There are other incidents connected with
the election, for which we have not room, they
are, however, of the same stamp as above
mentioned. In all there were not less than
from 100 to $50 persons injured during the
day In the two wards.
To the exertions of officers Gilmore and
Hammond, Mr.. Gray owes his life-had it
not been that they, unaided, interfered and
rescued him from the infuriated mob, he would
mos: certainly have been killed.
Such are the legitimate fruits of the fanati-
cal know noihingism excited in our land.

THAT SALUTE.-It has been rumore
more than once, that in case of our mill
tary having orders to FIRE salute for the
French flag to heal the wounded honor Of
the FrenchConsul, the officer in command
upon whom the duty of firing it devolves
would resign before carrying out
the order The commandant at the Pre-
sidio Fort, near San Francisco, from
which the salute is to be fired, is compa-
ny sergeant, all the commissioned officers
having gone to Oregon. Mons. Dillon
may now safely calculate on his salute as
soon as a French vessel-of-war shall ar
rive, as the sergeant has been directed to
fire it.

| SANTA ANNA.--The N Y. Tribune thus
traces the eyentful career of this remarkable
man:
| His name first became known in 1921. when
he expelled the Royalists from Vera Cruze,
and was appointed to the command, but was
driven out in 1922. He then, as republican,
took the field against Iturbide, and overthrow
that homemade Emperor. Next he joined the
Federal party, but defeat caused him to retire
to his estate Coming before the public again
he was in 1929 appointed commander of the
army. Revolutions being the fashion, Santa
Anna took up the cause of Pedrazza against
Bustamentc- who had been elected to the
chief dignity and defeated an army sent
against him, and Pedrazza, thus was made
President untillS33. Santa Anna was then
chosen President, and put down the other pa
triots who wished to oust him. His efforts to
make himself Emperor caused an insurrection
in four provinces, but having defeated the Re-
formers he proclaimed himself Dictator. Tex.
as now being the refuge of the defeated party,
Santa Anna marched thither and was taken
prisoner, and being liberated wended his way
10 Washington. Then in 1888, he assisted in
the defence of Very Cruz against the French
and lost leg. Next we find him on the top
Of the political scum as President in 1s4l
with absolute power. In lS45, fresh politi-
cal spasm ousted him. The next two Presi.
dents who followed could not continue, and
Santa Anna was recalled. After various
changes of fortune, his career became more
prominent before the American people, from
his re-entering Mexico during our war with
that country. This is too well known to re-
quire notice. His defects ultimately upset
him once more, and he proceeded to Kingston,
Jamaica, and next to Carthagenia, awaiting
in the latter place his chance for one more bit
ofground and lofty tumbling. 1t came; and
now being over, it is to be hoped to the salts
faction of all parties, Santa Anna can spend
his millions, and Mexico ride on the waves of
excitement and disorder up to the time when
she sinks into the deep of national oblivion of
which there seems every reasonable chance
under her present aspect.

standing the unfattering returns of our publish
ed passenger statistics, and the many tenments
in San Francisco ornamented in front, by the
legend, "To let" there can be no doubt that
our city has increased in population wonder
fully since the last census was taken. We were
informed by the census agent Of this city, after
he had made the enumeration of our inhabi.
tants, two years since, that be was enabled to
procure only $4,000 names, but that he did
not doubt that the entire population of San
Francisco amounted to 10000 souls How
stands the matter now! We are informed
that the agent Of a BUSINESS Directory, recently
made, has been able to gather $4,000 names
To these are to be added. of course the women
and children, together with a large number Of
Spaniards, Mexicans and Chinese, whose names
would not of course. be included iI Bus.ne,s

may not boast that San Francisco contains
at least 10000 inhabitants Pioneer

Row AT DARTMoUTH.-Sev Soph-
omores, not having the fear of the conse-
quences before their eyes, painted the
seats of the Freshmen's recitation room
The Freshmen retaliated by greasing
the seats of the Sophomores. The last
now broke into Freshman's room, and
shaved off his hair close to his head. They
regarded him as a leader in the grease
movement, but he was not. Of course,
the mischievous Sophomores were called
up before the College authorities, and at
the latest accounts twenty were likely to
be expelled Such scenes were formerly
common at Dartmouth and other colleges,
but for number of years they have been
rare.

BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENr!-Th Rich
mond Enquirer speaking of Northern
men says: "They are both fanatical and
money-loving, and are. by no means, a

The man who penned that paragraph
deserves the execration Of every lover ofhis
country. For northern man to include
all southern men in such sweeping de-
nunclation, would be to consign him to
political purgatory forever.

got into the Marysville stage at Rough s.

some distance he became so noisy and dis
agreeable to the other passengers that
the driver ordered him out, and left him
in the road. Another passenger ieigncd
pity and said he would stay behind and
take care of the drunken man, getting out
for the purpose. He however acted the
good Samaritan only long enough to pick
the pocket of the helpless inebriate Of
$500, when he overlook the stage and
continued his journey. The drunken man
was picked up, the facts made known, and
the Marysville police put on the alert,
but the robber had sloped to parts un-
known. No names are given. A dear
