The New York Herald discussing the late scenes
Of violence here and the structures thereon by the
Northern press, under the above heading, has the
following, which will be readily recognised by all
who know anything of this place:
!" The fact is that the only place in this country
where superior society exists, such as one meets
with in London and Paris, and in the other large
cities Of Europe is at Washington, where it gathers
round the diplomatic body, and is strained from
the several States Elsewhere there flourish clques,
literary, social, musical, theatrical financial, and
so forth, which hate each other, and calumniate
each other, and make themselves supremey ridic-
ulous In the eyes of every sensible person; but
Washington is the only place in America where
society exists that is both cultivated and metro
politan, and resembles 10 grand monde of Paris and
London. II is due there, perhaps, in no small
measure, TO the residence Of the diplomatic body;
but the leading families In many of the States pay
a visit to Washington once year or 90 and thus
keep II up.
"To speak, therefore, unquslifedly of the cor
ruption Of Washington society, is to evince igno-
rance Of the facts"

Humbugging at Cincinnati.

IL any credit is due to the statements Of the
editor Of the aiaithless phantom of Star"
who has gone to Cincinnati to represent the
interests of Forneyism, the delegates in that
Convention are trying to humbug each other,
according to tho fashion of hypocrites. In the
published letter of the editor referred to, bear
ing date May 81, he says:
"Strong efforts are being made to make combi-
nations likely to effect results. The rumor is, that
Tennessee, Georgia, and Indiana, last night con-
cluded to vote for Mr. Buchanan. We have no
faith in 1t whatever, regarding 1t as tub thrown
TO the whale that Is, as bait to obtain for him
the votes Of delegates from other States believed
not vet to have made up their minds. When it is
said that Tennessee Ia for Mr.. Buchanan it is
also eaid that Gov. A. v. Brown viii be the nomi-
nee for Vice President. Where one tells that
, Georgia Ia sure for Mr. b. 1t Is also told that the
Hon. Howell Cobb 10 certain Of the Vice Presiden
tial nomination. If one remarks that Louisiana is
going In the Convention for Mr. Buchanan, he
win, ten to one instantly afterwards add that Sem
ator Blidell 10 bound to be the Vice President"
So, according to the representations of the
"phantom," the Buchananites are seeking the
support of the Tennessee delegates by assuring
them that Gov. Nv Brown, Of that State, win
buriy uo ZIG sico LiSsiucut,--tucy ncch TIE
votes Of the Georgians by promising the Vice
Presidency to Howell Cobb, they seek
the votes Of Louisiana by promising the Vice
Presidency to Senator Slidell
What precious set Of fellows these Blu
chananites are, to be sure, If the phantom
IL worthy Of credit To obtain the votes of
the delegates Of the several States for Buchan.
m, they promise the Vice Presidency to each
State, knowing of course, that they must de-
ceive al but one, and not caring one 6rthing
for their promises. A very pretty game, that
Well, what il Pierce doing all the while7 win
not anybody listen to his promisess Not
man he has falsi6ed every promise he ever
made, and no man in the Convention win heed
his promises Although, to very great ex-
tent, the Convention was packed by Office
holders, we venture to predict that there win
b no ssrsosS attempt to dominate Pierce, for

The American Council,

The Geographic wires inform us that the
National Council of the American party, adj
journed yesterday, having endorsed the nomi-
nations Of Fillmore and Donelson, and having
also abolished all secrecy IN the Councils. Our
regret at being unable to attend the meeting
of the National Council, as a delegate from
this District, Gin consequence of pressing bust
ness matters, is greatly diminished by the re-
suit Of the deliberations Of that body. From
first to last we have been DESTROYS Of having
the American party placed on the ground
Of an open organization, mot that there
was anything sOrong in keeping our delibera.
tons and our action private, but that it was
impolitic and unwise TO do so. There is not
and never was, anything in the proceedings Of
the American Councils which the whole world
might not know without disadvantage to the
American party.
1t was, however considered proper, by those
who inaugurated the American Councils, to
keep their proceedings private, until this party
had drawn off from the then two great rival
parties, enough strength to render the maledic.
tons uttered, and the ostracism practised, by
those rival parties, powerless for harm. That
time having arrived, there were but few mem
beers Of the American party DESTROYS of contin
uing the secrecy, and we rejoice that it has
been abolished. Henceforward the objections
made to the American party, growing out o.
the secrecy Of its deliberations, are removed
It viii gather increased strength from all quar-
tiers. In our judgment there is majority now
throughout the country in favor Of American
nrinciples. tesi

The seventh Ward.

IL Is with extraordinary qualification that we
correct statement Of yesterday in regard TO the
election in the Seventh ward. The vote Of Mr.
Pearson was stated in the Iatelligsnesr, and all
the city papers, on the day after the slecton, to
be $50. This statement was uncontralicted, and
we presumed It to be correct. Itis new proved,
by the following certificate from the Register, TO
be incorrect g ~

Office, Mr.. Pearson received for Alderman,

with Long and weary wal the search. To
hundred shops the alligator was carried, and the
wares of a hundred ticket vendors were submitted
20 him before be manifested his appreciation by an
approving wag of his caudsl sppendage. As soon,
however, as the ticket with the mystic numbers
was displayed the mysterious reptiles eye bright
snsd, and his tail wagged wisely. And Jarvis in
tsrpreted the cabslistic wag assa sgn TO buy, and
forthwith he bought the ticket and went home re-
joicing.
Two days Afterward the drawing tabeau Of the
Havana lottery arrived, md strange as 1t may sp.
pear, the ticket selected by the approving wag OF
the aligstor's tail was down for the $4,000 prize.
The story may appear improbable, but IL IS no
more strange than true, several respectanie
merchants on Oarondelet street, who are familiar
with the facts, and the members OF the CONNER
cisl Arm on Camp street, where the money has
since been deposited, can attest. Indeed, We have
the story from the lips Of one nearly related to
the unlucky yet lucky Jarvis. Nor did the luck
Of the alligator hunter end Win this drawing Of
the prize. Recently, as y well known, exchange
ON Havana has been commanding handsome pre-
MUM, and Jarvis through one of his relatives,
received for his ticket not only the $4,000 IL
called for, but premium of $3.50 besides.
Who win hereafter say that the tail of alliga-
tor is not q thing Of wisdoms With this philo-
sophie query our tale shall end.

Mr.. Hills vote In the Seventh Ward was 4s6,
or fve votes more than wers received BY Mr.. Pear
son. EQ kfaM Sf1 F3rm
Our statement of yesterday was therefore based
upon an erroneous report of Mr.. Pearson's vote,
and we regret to learn that it has been the cause
OF much complaint against prominent member
of the American party in the Seventh Ward, who,
from our own knowledge, was one of the most ac-
tive and ardent supporters of Mr.. Hill in the whole
city.
The explanation now made should forever ST.

ter and rs-establish the reputation Of the Seventh
Ward as the stronghold of faithful, true, and I'M

il is universally admitted among sensible nen
that he could not carry single State in the
Union.
That nearly or quite one-half Of the delegates
at Cincinnati went there az Pierce men, being
mostly recipients Of Executive favors, directly
or indirectly, is undDubted; but they have
sense enough TO know that his nomination
would be the wsALsst one that party could
make, and his professed friends will therefore
seu themselves for the highest price they can
get, 70 Buchanan or some other candidate.
Notwithstanding the efforts, both open and in
sidious, which the " Phantom has made du-
ring the last few weeks, to defeat Buchanan's
nomination, the sycophant viii turn round and
lick his hand, like another dog if Buchanan
should get the nomination. Mark 10
Notwithstanding that in the very extract
which we now copy from the "phsntom's" let
ter Of slst May, he directly accuses the Blu
chanan men with practising daplieity, fraud,
caicaaery, and double dealing, yet, if Buchan-
an gets the nomination, he will swear by For
ney, Pierce and all the other political saints in
the calendar of demagoguism, that "Old Buck"
is the very man, after all, whose nomination
he has favored from first TO last Indeed, it
is by no means certain, that the " phantom "
won't claim the sole credit of bringing about
"Old Bucks" nomination, if his nomination
should be effected. AS to poor Frank Pierce,
Of New Hampshire" there will not after the
present week, be found one man SO poor as
to do him reverence

indulgence q the convention while he spoke the
sentiments BY which the majority had been actu-
ated.
They had given three days attention to the
case and had heard both parties claiming the
seats after the able arguments from both sec
tons, and that party had agreed TO stand upon the
aobie platform Of the Convention, and had plsdg-
ed the honor Of both sections to unite and make
common battle for the nominee Of the Convention,
IL was hmentable that the great Democracy should
be rent by dissensions
