The Hen PR1cE OF SUGAR The New York
Tribune, in an article upon this subject, argues
that prices must ere long recede from the pres
ent exorbitant rates, because these prices are
greatly stimulating the productions in the BRUSH
colonies, several of which, in point oil crop al
ready 60 beyond the highest marx OF the slave
islands Besides, sugar is commodity largely pro-
duced in the East Indies, whence any considera-
bic rise Of prices Is sure to sure to dsaw large
addition to the ordinary supply. 1t is rot like
IL that the price will go back to the exceeding
ly low rates IN comparison with which the pres
ent price seems SO enormous, because sugar, like
all other articles, must exhibit in an apparent
rise Of value the depreciation in the comparative
value of gold which is constantly going on but
tibet sugar will speedily diminish in price without
the necessity of legislation on the subject cannot
we think, admit of a doubt"
We are surprised that the Tribune should not
be in favor of some legislation to reduce the price
Of an article that enters so largely into the do
mestic economy Of every family in the country,
and upon which every consumer pays two or
three cents pound to the government in the
shape of duties, in order that about twenty thou
sand slayeholders in the southern States may be
able to make profit by the raising of sugar upon
a soil and in a climate unadapted to its successful
production. The reduction of the sugar duties is
question that concerns at least every poor man
in the United States, and we hope ere long to see
such an agitation of the subject in all the free
States as will result in the placing of sugar upon
the list of free goods when the con templated re-
vision of the tariff is made.

GRAHAM's ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE. The
January number Of this popular magazine is al.
ready out 1t commences the fiftieth volume Of
the work, Recommendation that we believe no
other periodical Of the kind in this country can
boast. None but one that met the reading com
munity's wants, and answered its expectations
could sustain itself for long period, and still
exhibit, as this does the freshness of youth and
the vigor Of manhood. Mr.. Charles G. Leland,
a gentleman Of high literary attachments, has
assumed the editorship Of the work, and will
doubtless add still more to its claims on the public
This number CONTAINS seven illustrated articles,
the monthly fashion plate and plates of numer.
GUS articles of female dress 1t presents great
indueement to clubs as well as to single subscribe
ers. Address Watson & Co., PHILADELPHIA.

REpENTANr.-We have never seen men more
heartily repentaDt of their misdeeds, as are some
OF the Republicans who voted the Richardson
ticket, on Monday. A prominent Republican,
residing in the third ward, who was mainly in
strumental in carrying that ward for the Ameri-
ticket. told yesterday that she never should
be caught in such scrape again, that he was
heartily sorry for the part he had taken in the
matter, and that should the election come off to-
morrow, he should certainly vote for the Repub-
lcan instead OF the American candidate" When
honest men are AWuabmgged into pntting their
names to wilful and malicious falsehoods and
then, when those talsehoods are printed and cir
culated broadcast through the community, it is
not strange thatit 9 makes EN- squirm."

As WE PREDICTED, aad we expected, the
Boston Bee of yesterday claimed the result of the
election in this city, on Monday, american
victory. 1t says, "the ticket bearing the name of
George W. Richardson (American) for Mayor
succeeded by ffty-fve majority over Dwight Eos
ter (Repa6lican Democrat) All the Aldermen
on the american ticket were also elected"
To-day, the Bee will probably congratu-
late the AMERICAN party upon its frightening
prospects, from the fact that Charles White. Esq.
of Worcester, leading Republican from the
start, and who has never been member of the
Know Nothing order, made speech to those
triumphant Americans, congratulating them upon
their victory, and, speaking for the Republican
the eIectioa would tend to Nnite nsI'euarer t'tOot
Uho sceye united today, and henceforth we should
have party in Worcester that would be harmon

GREAT MEMORY. LISTS of mis-sent letters
appear in the papers that should have gone to
houses in New York, Boston, Baltimore, SC.
The New York Neos says that this list is
made by Mr.. Walter B. Dick of Philadelphia,
retired merchant, who, for sake of the Occur
patton, takes the published lists of letters in the
several cities, and going over all the names
separates. by his extraordinary memory, the
letters that lie mis- directed in the different
offices. Mr.. Dick knows all the firms and di-
rections in other cities as well as in his own.
Thousands of dollars have thus been sent to
their owners that would have gone to tie
dead-letter Office. If this fact is correctly
stated, it is one OF the most extraordinary in
stances OF good memory on record.
