Under any circumstances Il would be an advan-
tage to the young Emperor to have time, on
his accession, to look around him, and pass
from the position Of complete and practised
scholar to that Of q teacher. These circum-
stances may produce q lull in operations; but
unless our information be grievously wrong,
the death of Nicholas will cause no radical
change in Russian policy.
THE CITY PRMTNG-MoRE Sour WANTED
are crying bitterly for little bread and butter,
or little pap, from the Corporation, in the way
of printing Where's the report OF Mr.. Flagg !?
What has become of the ordinance proposing a
few stray advertising jobs to some of our starv-
ing journals? Paper is high, labor is high
and common beef is twelve cents pound
Our city tathers-fat and sleek rs they are upon
the spoils-have they no bowels of compassion
for the press? Have they expended their
charities upon the Irish, Germans, and other
outside paupers? 1t not, and if they have no
extra printing jobs, we appeal to them, for
weet charity's sake, to open soup house for
he press, including our hard.up neighbors of
the Sun, Times and Tribune, not forgetting,
this time, the fifteenth edition of the Express.
1t would be q good thing-a soup house-witn
mock turtle, calves head, or good beef soup,
pepper and salt included, at shilling plate,
to be paid for in Corporation printing.
The VIRGINIA CHAMPIONSHIPS AMERICAN
PARTY TICKET.-The American party, at their
State Convention, at Winchester, Virginia,
have nominated the following State ticket -
For Governor-Thomas S. Flournoy, of Hal
flax Lieutenant GOVERNOR. M. II. Beale, of
Mason; Attorney General ohm NJ. Patten, of
Richmond.
Mr.. Flournoy has heretofore been wing,
Mr. Beale regular democrat, and Mr.. Patten
has been also q prominent man Of the same
party. They have all served term or two in
Congress, and have been distinguished for their
conservative, constitutional and Union senti-
ments. They are now fused into the new con-
servative movement of the American party,
and appointed its standard bearers against the
Cabinet spoils coalition ticket of Henry A.
Wise and his associates. The wing press of
Virginia sustain the American ticket with en-
thusiasm, and for the first time in their lives
have taken the field upon the offensive. We
await the result with pleasure New Hamp-
shire tells the whole story"
ST.. PATRICK's DAY.--This is ST. Patrick's
day, and owing to the bad state Of selling ex-
listing between the Americans and the Irish
row has been expected by many, and two regi-
ments are ordered to be under arms all day, in
order to put down any disturbance that may
arise. We trust there will be no necessity for
their interference. By this time, experience
ought to have taught the Irish that to make
their national saints day the regular anniver-
sary of scenes of rio ting and ruffianism is not
the way to ensure success or comfort in the
land Of their adoption. II it be their choice to
parade a. Irishmen with Irish flags and Irish
symbols on certain day of the year, no one
objects to their doing 80. But every one OBJ

ner to the riots and fighting which these pa
rades have frequently occasoned. What is
more, every one is pretty firmly resolved to
put an end to this sort Of thing for the future
fact of which the regiments called out this
day affords tolerably substantial evidence. All
that is required of both parties to-day, is COM
mon sense and forbearance. With the help Of
these, the day will pass off quietly enough.
The POLICE IMPLIcATED.-One of the wit
nesses before the Coroner's investigation upon
the death of Mr.. Poole, intimates that the escape
Of Mr.. Baker is probably due to the treachery
or inefiiciency of some of our present police
corps Likely enough. Formerly, many Of
our police corps were intimately associated as
the rum-hole companions Of our political row.
dies and bullies; but under the present pc.
lice system these fellows have been con-
siderably weeded out. 1t appears, however,
that some few black sheep still remain
among the guardians of our lives and property.
Yetin the face of these facts, aud in spite of
the efforts of our Mayor to complete the
wedding, we find some of the "little vii
lains' in our Legislature at Albany de-
liberately concocting a plan to turn back
again not only portion, but the whole
body, en- mdsse, Of our police force into the
hands of the political DULLES and rutiians who

House and Tanmany Hall. In a word, our
little villains at Albany, from a lively sense
of gratitude, propose to throw us back upon
charter of ruffianism and the barbarism of the
dark ages. Such are the affiliations of Sew
ardism.
THE PRICE OF GAs--We have received
many complaints from gas consumers against
the bills presented to them during the past
few months. One of our correspondents sug-
gests that there should be legislative in
