SHAMEFUL CONDUCT OF THE WASHINGTON
CRY Know NorHISGs.-The Washington
Union of Sunday morning says: A mass
meeting Of the democratic citizens of WASH
ington was announced to be held in front of
Browns Hotel at nine o'clock last evening,
with the view of exchanging congratulations
on the result Of the recent gubernatora
election in Virginia. Long before the hour
named large concourse of people assembled
on the avenue extending from Sixth street
nearly to Seventh street. It was soon made
manifest to the most careless observer that an
organized attempt would be made to destroy
the harmony of the meeting, and to>heap in
suit, if not commit violence, upon all who
would attempt to give utterance to the heart
felt expressions of honest exultation. The
meeting was not long left in doubt in regard
to the intentions or the principles of their
know nothing opponents. A loud and enthu-
siastic call for Mr.. Wise soon brought that
distinguished champion Of civil and religious
freedom, to the balcony in front of the hotel.
He'commenced speaking, but his voice was
literally drowned by the rude and disgraceful
interruptions of the miserably deluded follow
ers of "Sam." Finding that he could not be
heard, he and his friends showed degree of
forbearance becoming men fresh from the
field of battle and flushed with victory. They
left the disappointed admirers and hackers of
Flournoy in peaceable and undisputed pos
session Of the ground.
Comment on such proceedings is unneces-
sary.

one with any experience can fail to see that
those Irish politicians who are now endeavoring
to ascribe the falling of in our Irish immigra-
tion to the progress Of Know Nothingism, are
merely fulfilling the destiny of their race, and
adding one more to the long list Of Irish blum
ders.
The statement would be equally false of Ger
many. In most of the German States, every
able bodied man is held to service in the land
,oehr or militia. To leave his country, he
must be able to purchase q substitute, or have
served his time. When this Law is borne in
mind, the wonder appears not that the stream
Of German emigrants should be diminished, but
that it should ever have reached the enormous
dimensions we have witnessed Of late years.
1t may safely be said that the remittances to
Germany for the purchase Of substitutes during
the past five years, must have equalled, if they
did not exceed, those to Ireland. The war will
have bad tendency to raise the price Of ex.
emption beyond the reach Of most purses; why
need we seek other causes for the falling off in
our German immigration?

THE CUBAN JuNTA-LIGHT WANTED.-We
have not yet had any statement from the Cuban
Junta Of the circumstances Of their recent
wholesale victimization. 1t is said that there
have been some curious transactions, in which
they are concerned, in connection with the
chartering Of the steamers United States and

they the victimizers or the victimized? What

THE New NAVAL BoARD-ITs PRACTICAL
WORKING The Naval Board of revision ap
pointed under the act of Congress passed in
February last, will commence its labors on the
10th of this month. Their results are looked
forward to with curiosity by the public, and
with considerable doubt and apprehension by
the profession.
The principles upon which the reforms con-
template in the institution of this body are
founded cannot be objected to by any one hav-
ing the efficiency of the service at heart. But
we are not satisfied that its modus operandi is
the best that might have been devised. The
act directs that the Board shall make careful
examination into the efficiency of all officers in
the grades of Captain, Commander, Licute-
nant, Master and Passed Midshipman; aud oil
officers found by them incapable of performing
the duties Of their respective grades are to be
dropped from the rolls or placed in the order
of their rank and seniority at the time upon q
list in the Navy Register, to be entitled the re.
served list No forms are prescribed as to the
manner in which the evidence of such incompe-
tency is to be arrived at, nor does it appear
that 1T is intended to call the parties for ex-
animation before the Board. Are we to
understand from this that the proceedings
are to be secret, and that the powers
Of the Board are to be exercised in an arbitrary
and irresponsible manner-at least 50 far as its
independence Of public opinion is concerneds
Should this assumption turn out to be correct
we spprehend that this commission, from which
20 much was anticipated, will neither give salts.

Two YEARS OF SANTA Annals SwAY.-Two
years ago on the goth of April last, General
Santa Anna, recalled from his exile in Cartha.
gena by the almost unanimous voice of the
Mexican nation, entered into the capital as
President of the republic, and was hailed with
the most extravagant demonstrations of Joy as
the saviour of the country. Seated on his Pre-
sidential chair, he was looked up to as the
only living man who could heal the bleeding
power to do 50; for the whole people bowed, it
might almost be said, in submissive alteration
before him. Years of sanguinary revolution
had disguised them with the horrors of intes-
tine war, and the general yearning of the
nation was for peace There was then not a
hostile element in life which could raise bar
rier in the path Of peace and progression; and
IL was at once the belief and the earnest prayer
of all who sympsshized in the misfortunes of
Mexico, that under the guidance of her unde-
niably ablest ran, himself not unacquainted
with sorrow-haud ignarns mali-her bleeding
wounds would b., healed, her commerce and ag-
riculture ayiy ed, peace become lasting, and

to that paper from Europe. giving an
account Of q recent visit to Venice,
says:
A strange occurrence took place
while l was in Venice. On the same
evening, in different parts of the town,
two young girls nine or ten years old.
were enticed away to a solitary abode,
where they were blind.folded- and con-
Quoted to another retired house. Hero
they were well treated during twenty.
four hours, with enough to eat and
drink, but they were bled several times
almost to tbnwpoint Of fainting. and
when they mQn0h|Qod to spare,
without endA1gefin9 lives, they
were restored to :hcir homes by night,
in the same mysterious way. Every.
body in town was startled by this singu.
lar incident. The most common ex-
PLANTATION was, that au old sorceress
had recommended to some deluded
being, bathing in the blood Of young
and healthy persons, as q method Of re.
storing exhausted nature. ...
