ST.. Louis, April 5-The know nothings
have elected all their candidates by an average
majority of 1000 votes.
CINCINNATI, APRIL 4.-There has been a
large German riot here. 1.-THE particulars OF
this row have not come to hand The Ger
mans have given upthe cannon in their posses
sion and the sheriff took away the wheels. The
crowd then dispersed and no further disturbance
was expected.
New ORLEANS, APRIL 9-The know moth
ings have carried every thing before them at
the election in Rhode Island.
The Crescent states that there are at the
present time not less than three hundred and
ten candidates for governor and lieutenant gov
ernor Of Louisiana, and that there is strong rea-
son to believe that, if the present rate of nomi-
nation is proceeded in up to the time of cleo
ton, there will not be left a single white male
citizen of the State, between the ages of FL and
100, who is not a candidate forthe governor or
lieutenant governorship in November. Be that
as it may, We ardently pray that whoever is
chosen to fill the office of governor, will prove
worthy ofthe station.
The New Hampshire election proves to be a
thorough victory for the know nothings. They
elected the governor, three representatives to
congress, ten state senators, against one of the
Pierce party, and two hundred and twenty-one
members of the house, against seventy-nIne
Piercites. The know nothings have thus the
choice o ftwo Us. senators. A few more contests
like this and there will not be left even a solita-
ry Piercite to mourn the pitiable fate and me-
lancholy death of the once powerful "~unterri-
fed democracy
NEGRO LAwTER.-In the United States dis
trct court for Massachusetts,, at Boston, on the
18th March, on motion Of Benz. F. Hallett, Q.
S. district attorney, Zone of president Pierce's
particular friends and one of his abolitionist ap-
pointments,) Macon B. Allen, a gentleman of
color" black as ink, was admitted as counsel
lor and attorney at law in the U. S. court. So
says the Boston Atlas. We suppose that the
next move of Hallett and his companions, will
be TO have their sable friend promoted TO the
bench in Massachusetts,.
The New York Evening Post--the leading
democratic journal in that State-referrine to
a letter written by ex-governor Colby, the on
ly wing chief magistrate New Hampshire has
had since 1929, says, 'this Anthony Colby, by
the way, is a good deal of a character. He
was bred a mule-driver, is something of a far
mer, half a printer, a good deal of a mechanic,
own a fine farm in Merrimac county, New
Hampshire, and manufactures scythes at a fac
tory hard by. He is a great wag-as full of
fun as an egg is Of meat, and makes a capital
speech, whether short or long, is always brim-
full ofjokes and good sense" Wish we could
say as much for his democratic successors.
A bill is now under discussion in the Penn
legislature for the protection Of land
lords. 1t declares that persons becoming guests
at hotels, without means to pay their bills, ac-
cruing for any time not longerthau a week, and
not giving notice of any such inability, are va
and as such shall be subject to convic-
before any alderman or justice of the peace
period not longer than thirty days, and /
authorizes the proprietor to detain such delin- {
quent until the proper officer be obtained. The l
bill also gives to hotel keepers a lien upon the
baggage of guests for accrued debt for a period +;
of not longer than one week. {
Maj r Cunningham, paymaster of the U. S. F,
has been robbed by some ofthe ladrones
about sante Fe of forty thousand dollars in
gold and silver. He offers a reward of $4,000 $
for the recovery of the money and the ~conyic~
Of the robbers, but there is little possibili- ,
y of his succeeding in doing either, as it is {
than likely that all the Mexicans in the {
were concerned in the robbery. {
The Constantinople correspondent of the Ost
Deutsche Post states upon, he writes, official
authority, that the total losses of the allied ar
since its arrival in the east, amounts to six :
thousand French and forty thousand IA
The losses by death are put down
as amounting to ffty-six thousand men. The 5

contained 1900 French and 1000 Enolisb
soldiers. ~ f
