xY-we think that the interesting letters written

important crisis. Not ono half Of this correspon-
dcncc has ever been published Part Of il APP
pcared several years ago. during the trial which
resulted in divorce between Forrest and his
wife. That portion Of Forncy's epistlcs only re-
lated TO the morality Of getting some poor actor
intoxicated. in order to procure evidence to be
used for the Vantage 81 ono OF The parties in tho
suit. The political part Of the correspondence
would he very curious 10 the present crisis In il.
We understand, Forney complains bitterly Of being
cheated by the Southern politicians. and pitches
into them with JUNCTION and vigor. We have no
doubt that the whole Of this Forney corcspon-
donce will be laid before the public at a proper
time. ard will he found fun Of highly interesting

METEOROLOGICAL HUMBUG.-From time to time
The city press has published long, stupid Trades
about the weather, emanating from E. Merriam
brooklyn Heights. These articles have been the
most melancholy twaddle in the world and the
only apology for giving them publicity must be
iound in the proverbial good nature of journalists,
which sometimes leads them to bore half
million of readers rather than injure the amour
propre of one correspondent who has mistaken
his vocation. Mr.. Merriam, who initiates great
philosopher, seems to have also the heroism of a
stole. He goes on, summer and winter, day after
day, boring people with his weatherwise OPT
Mons, and setting up stupid theories which never
even by accident happen to be verified by the
facts in the case. He has been burlesqued, laugh
ed at, snubbed and ridiculed for months; and yet
he does not seem to know that nobody pays the
slightest attention to his nonsense We are
gravely told by this philosopher, when we shiver
under two overcoats, that it is cold day. Again,
when the spring rains come on-when some one
has carried off our umbrellas and feloniously ap-
prOpriated our overshoes-when we are wet to
the skin and our streets are positively un-
lOIudple-tudL lleIe are uulCdLOHs Ol severe
rain storms and that Jupiter Pluvius will
saturate us until he sees fit to dry up. Summer
comes-the sun broils us, bakes us, and we per-
spire by the hogshead. The next day the Sage of
Brooklyn gratifes the world by informing it that
the weather has been hot; and he win perhaps
hazard the wise remark that there may possibly
have been thunder storm in some remote section
Of the country. If he should, by a tremendous
exercise of his perceptive powers, ascertain and
proclaim at the same time that the weather is
good for corn, and mat some of the more tender
plants may have been blighted by the scorching
rays Of the sun, he Immediately retires to the
contemplation Of his barometer, and is satisfied
that he has ecIpsed the reputation of all the
sorans in Christendom. Merriam always comes a
day after the fair with his information, and it is
bad enough to be Frustrated by the heat without
being told Of it next day. We think it is quite
time to put stop to this humbug and get rid Of this
philosopher He will be good enough, therefore,
not to send any more of his trash to this Office.
We will not publish another line of it.

MAYOR WooD AND THE GovERNoRsHIP OF
New YoRK.-The Mayor has published a curious
ard characteristic letter under the caption,
Mayor Wood declines the nomination TO.
Governor" We do not see the document in that
light, precisely. The Interpretation that We give
it is that Mr.. Wood merely places himself on file
as one Of the candidates for that high Office To our
mind the meaning of the letter simply is, " i will
take the Office if ! can get it." And We have no
objection to his taking the Office, If he get it.
Ii he cannot get it, how would he like to be Col
iector? One thing is certain from Mayor Woods
letter and other democratic documents recently
published-there is a serious difference Of opinion
between the leading ciques Of the democracy in
this State, and yet they conceal the real causes
Of the quarrel. They attempt to make il appear
that the present quarrel between the hartls and
fhe softs is on account Of the omission of some
party folmalities and techncalities This is not the
real reason There is Forney clique in this city
and State. Already all the Offices have been par
celcd of fer the friends Of this clique, to come in
