Know NoTulNGlsM IN NEW YoRK.-Wiam II.
Goodwin Know Nothing, has been elected to the
New York State Senate, from the Twcnty-ninth
District over Looms, the Seward coalition candi-
date The Rev. Mr. Goodwin takes tho seat va
Gated by Governor Clark. This says the New
York Icarld may be considered great triumph
over Scwardism. The Heard further says:
The results of the November election in the
Twcnty-ninth District threw out the hope that
by a junction of the forces Of Seward, Seymour,
and Pierce, they might carry their man by at
least thousand majority. The temptation was
irresistible and the so-called Peoples Convention
brought forward Mr.. LOOMS as the Pierce and
Seward coalition candidate for the overthrow of
the Know Nothings
The result is perfectly astonishing. There APP
pears to be no assignabe limit to the reserved
forces Of the terrible Know Nothings. Their ma
jority may be two or three thousand, where they
were in minority in November; few hundred
votes more or less makes no material difference
1t is sufficient that they have made clean job of
il, and have proved that even in Western New
York, where Seward was supposed to be invulncr-
able, the Know-Nothngs are not only competent
to cope with him single handed, but arc abundant
ly able to rout him with all the frccsoi forces of
the administration at his back.
From this election We may form some estimate
OF the astounding progress OF the new revolution
in New York since November last. Clark, the
Seward standard bearer, and Seymour, the admin
istration candidate, polcd two-thrds ofthe popular
vote ofthc State in that contest But the popular
mind was confused and the vote for Seymour and
the success of the Seward party were due to the
pressure of the liquor question The present trial
of strength in the twenty-ninth district was fair
issue upon the exact merits Of the Know Nothing
movement against the combined strength of Sc.
ward, Seymour and the administration, and &C
cording to the result, if the same test were now
applied throughout the commonwealth the Know
Nothings against the allied forces of this Pierce
Seymour and Seward coalition, would carry thu
State by at least fifty thousand majority.
We call the attention Of the young men in on,
Legislature, aspiring to political future, to Thu
the Twenty-ninth district shows that at this da,
the Know-Nothings can command an ovcrwhei
ming majority in this State against all other par
ties combincd

G. G. FosrER-An exchange gives tho follow.
ing sketch of this individual, who was recently ar
rested in Philadelphia on a charge Of forgery:
Two or three years ago Foster deserted his
wife and daughters, who are greatly esteemed by
all who know them, and has since been leading a
life that should have put a man of his talent and
capacity to the blush When arrested in Phila-
delphia, he was about entering theatre with
woman styling herself Baroness de Margucrites,"
and who has attempted authorship and operate
singing, hanging on his arm. Foster is man OF
decided genius but entirely devoid Of description
and common sense. In 1889 he rendered himself
very popular in St. Louis by his flashy scribblings
as editor of daily paper called the Pemant.
Concluding that st. Louis was entirely too small
place for man of his capacity, he removed to
New Orleans; there connected himself with q daily
paper, because involved in personal difficulty,
was challenged, avoided fight, was ''cut" by
his friends in consequence, and therefore found it
convenient to wcnd his way to the North. Set
ting in New York, he wrote for various papers
and periodicals, and contributed much towards in
crcasing the circulation of the Tribune by various
local sketches and squibs entitled "City Facts and
Fancies." Had he been possessed DISABILITY and
honesty, he might at this moment have occupied
high position as writer and cditor-as 1t is, nc
will perhaps spend several years in prison.
A gentleman in Alabama, in cxerting himself
one day. felt sudden pain, and fearing his inter-
nal machinery had been thrown out of gear, sent
for negro on his plantation, who made some
pretention to medical skill, to prescribe for him
The negro having investigated the case prepared
and administered a dose to his patient, with the
utmost confidence of speedy cure. No relief
being experienced, however, the gentleman sent
for physician, who, on arriving inquired of the
negro what medicine he had given his master.

that large portion of the land acquired by the
State, under the Act of 1850, is covered with
luxuriant growth Of tule, which is believed to be.
susceptible of manufacture into paper of the best
quality The Governor goes on to say: There
is every reason to believe that the expense of
bleaching would be comparatively small, as the
stalk of the tule, when ripe and before discolored
by rain, is nearly white. Being coated with a
heavy and strong fibre, and internally filled with
cellular tissue with numerous strong longitudinal
fbres it is believed to possess all the necessary
qualities required.

Smyrna in Turkey that he now goes by the name
of Mustapha, and is engaged in teaching the Eng
fish language The authority givenfor this report
is one Joseph A. Bloom According to the Mir
ror, this man Bloom met Morgan at house in
Smyrna, to whom the latter gavea detailed account
of his adventures. 1t is stated that Morgan left
the country in the ship Mervinc which sailed from
Boston to Smyrna, and belonged to the firm Of
Langdon &.Co. The captains name of the Mcr-
vine was WEIGH. 1t matters little now perhaps,

THE New York HAcKMEN IN TRouBLE.-An Or

Council in 1916, prohibiting hackmcn from solicit

ten dollars. This law fell into dsuse, and few per-
sons were aware of its existancc until Mayor Wood
availed himself Of it to suppress the annoyance to
which travellers are subjected at the wharves and
depots by the importunatc appeals of hackmen.
The enforcement of the ordinance is so disagreea-
bic, however, that the hackmen have formed an
association to agtate for its repeal.

Arrival of the Sierra Nevada.
LATER FROM NICARAGUA-ANOTII BAT
TLE-WALKER VICTORIOUS.

This anxiously looked for steamer arrived
at San Francisco on Tuesday last, bringing
S62 passengers to our shores; Of this num-
Der 2O5 are females. There were .3e deaths
on board within five days after the steamer
left port. The sickness after that time dis
appeared and the remainder of the voyage
was very healthy
By this arrival, we learn that Col. Walker
has had another battle with the Rivas party,
under Guardiola. 1t took place at Virgin
Bay on the 4th September. The Colonel
had 225 men with him. His enemies num-
bered 600, Of which number about 80 were
killed, and as many more wounded.
Walker did not lose man in the battle,
although he had two white men wounded
and four or five of the natives. The whites
will recover, but three of the natives died.
The former, Lieut. Williamson and private,
came up on the Sierra Nepada
After the arrival Of the Sierra Ne0ada at
San Juan, Col. Walker took possession of her
for the time being, in order to search for
suspected Spaniard on board, and also for
arms said to have been on board.
The Transcript says that the steamer on
Lake Nicaragua under the command of
Capt. Scott, was fired into by the Granadian
authorities. The steamer was supposed to
have insurgents on board, whereas she had
five or six pieces of heavy ordnance for Gran
ada. Capt. Scott, after the boat had been
fired into, refused to land the guns, and car
ried them back to the Castillo Rapids.
