unconcerned about the success Of q ticket
which is to secure this latter oonsummation
The New York Journal of Commerce is
known to have always been strongly national
in its views, denouncing every indication Of
sectionalism, no matter where Exhibited
Hunker-a Hard-and even entertaining opin-
ions perfectly acceptable to what Mr.. Seward
denounces as the privileged classes" and
the privileged States" Hear what that
paper says about the New York Democratic
State ticket -
The right, safe, and only available course,
which can be taken by those who desire to
rescue the State from Seioardtsni. who wish
for probity and integrity in its administrative
affairs; who would see the executive depart
ment filed with men capable of exercising
salutary influence on legislation, is to vote Tor
the Sort SHELL Democratic ticket"
"Those who wish to defeat the attempt to
organize sectionalism, for the purpose of
raising Seward to the Presidency in 1856, will
most effectually attain their object by assist
ing to unite the Democracy in the support of
such men. 1t is the only power in the State
that can conquer his molly troop of followers,
and overthrow his plumber dynasty"
In our opinion, the Journal of Commerce
is much better judge of the course proper to
be pursued by the anti-Abolitionists there, to
accomplish what the Democracy of New York,
as we'll as of the Union, have at heart, than
any paper out Of it can possibly be. And it
would seem to US that a Democratic press of
power and influence, from its position or from
any other cause, can hardly be acting wisely in
pursuing a course in this matter, or expressing
an opinion on il, counter to that of the Jour
nal of Commerce, and calculated to discredit
and leopard the success of the Democratic
ticket in New York; and so far as this is done,
to strengthen the hands of Mr.. Seward and
his black Republicans.

Gen. Scots Back Pay.-As many newsps-
per writers are puszling their brains to ascer-
tain precisely how much Gen. Scott gains Pc
cuniarily, by the enactment of the Lieutenant
General bill, we have taken occasion to pro-
cure data through which we can satisfy the
public curiosity on that head go
We have, therefore, to remark, that the pay
and allowance of Major General in time of
war, per month of 30 days, was s49s, as fol-
lows:
Pay Of self and servant. ................$228

For the month of thirty-one days, 90. 80
more was allowed, being one days rations for
self and servant, making $504s0.
In time of peace, prior to the act of August
4, 1854, Increasing the pay of the rank and
file Of the army,) the pay of Major General,
per month of thirty days, was s466; thus:
Pay of himself and servants.

For tho month of thirty one days, So 80
more was added for rations of himself and SER
wants, making, s472 so.
Since the act Of August 4, 1854, Major
Generals pay, &C., for month Of thirty days,
is s4s2-the increase being on the pay of ser
wants, which follows that of privates in the
army, 81 per month increase for each servant,
four in number-Sl6; and for a month of
thirty-one days, $3.50 more-s22 80.
The pay Of Lieutenant General for month
Of thirty days will be $40, thus:

If the rations be doubled for commanding
the army, as provided in the case of a Major
General by the act Of August %, 1912, there
will be added per month S240-making a total
per month Of thirty days Of $3.50.
In the above statements no allowance is
made for the additional ration allowed by the
fifteenth section of the act CT July 5, 1888, for
| every five years service, which, to an officer
| fOrty-fvs years in service, would be per month
| Of thirty days, s54- 1884
No allowance is made by the act of May %
1898, for servants to a Lieutenant General
From the foregoing, it will be seen that from
the 18th of March, 1S47-the date of General
Scott's rank as Lieutenant General, under the
joint resolution of Feb Is, 1856, and the ap-
pointment by the President-the pay, &C., of

witness into some slight inconsistency, uprn
which he might build 'pointi' but he was
excessively annoyed TO find that Grassy Pats

Perceiving that acute questioning failed 10

A Curious Mistake.

A young Paisian, travelling 10 rnS'erdam,
was attracted by remarkably beautiful house
near The canal. He addressed q duchman, il,
French, who stood near, in the vessel, with
"Pray, sir, may ask 10 whom that house

The Holander answered him in his own
Language:
ak kan net verston," Il do not understand

The Parisian, not doubling he was under

added many other observations of the same
kind, 10 which the dutchman made no reply.
When he arrived at Amsterdam, he saw q
most beau;lIul woman walking on the quay,
arm in arm with gentleman. He asked q
tperson who PASSED him, who that charming
lady was but the man not understanding
French, replied:
