CHANGE OF TuSE.-A few years ago tn
Locoioco organs used to play merrily owe
the fact that nearly all tie Governors of Ii
Free States were democratic in politics
They had good keynote, for when tn
Kansas bill was framed there were but fou
Governors in the Union who were not SUE
portcrs of the Administration. The tune i
now changed, for at this time there are bu
four Democratic Governors in all the North
ern States. On this subject the Alban,
Evening Journal remarks:
C. Gov. Metcalf, Of New Hompshirc, Gov
Royce of Vermont, Gov. Gardner of Massa
chusetts, Gov. Hoppin of Rhode Island
Gov. Minor of Connecticut Gov. Clark o
New York. Gov. Pollock. of Pennsylvania
Gov. Chase of Ohio, Gov. Bingham of Mich
igan, Gov. Grimes of Iowa, and Governo,
ashford Of Wisconsin, are all anti-adminis.
tration men, all owe their election to the
Free-soil sentiment of their respective
states, and all occupy seats that short time
ago we're held by Pierce and Douglass Dem
ocrats: The rule thus broken will never
be again inaugurated in the North.
The season is very backward in Ohio, yet
there is every promise of abundant crops Of
wheat, corn and apples. The peach cror
will be almost a total failure. OF wheat, The
Cincinnati Commercial says, an immense
quantity was sown last fall, and corn has
been planted largely this spring. The arplt
orchards arc now in blossom and are re-
freshingly beautiful.
A bronze equestrian statue of Washing
ton, moulded by II. X. Brown, and cast at
Springfield, is to be erected in New York, at
the junction of the Bowery and Fourth
avenue. 1t has cost between twenty Ave
and thirty thousand dollars.
New YoRK, May IA.
A body found at Himbler's Island, Sun
day, has been identified as that of Captain
Palmer, of the schooner Eudora Imogene
The Coroner's Jury rendered yerdi:t thai
ae came to his death by violence, and that
the negro cook was The murderer.
e We understand, says the Detroit
Free Press, that the War Department have
ordered Lieut.. Col. Kearney, of the Light
House Board, and Captain Mead, now il
charge Of the Typographical Survey of Ches-
apeake and Delaware Bays, to duty in that
:ity, in charge of the survey Of the North
western Lakes, vice Capt. Macomb and
Lieut.. Reynolds, transferred.
HUMBUG!-There was never greater gul-
trap set to catch ''green-horns" than the pro-
posed Buffalo Hunt" of certain wild lanG
speculators from St. Cloud. We make this
declaration in no evil spirit, but to war;
strangers not to be sstaken in and done for.'
ST.. ANTHoNY.-TLe Express Of the It'll
states that in the Supreme Court of the
United States now in session at Washing
Ton, the case of D. a. Secombe, ct ais, ap-
oeIIants, Us. franklin Steel, has been dis
missed with costs against the appellants.
Thus, says the Express, ends this most un-
Just litigation, as we always knew it must
end, in holding the Sheriff's titles worthless
and confirming the title in Mr.. Steele. The
equities, as well as legal rights, were SO
:learly in Mr.. Steele's favor, that it is aston
shing how any one knowing the circum
stances could have for moment supposed
that these sheriff titles could have beer
sustained.
New JERSEY DEMocRAcr.-The recent
Democratic State Convention adopted plat
form thus referred to BY the Newark Adver-
tiser:
They repudiate Know Nothingism, and
denounce Black Republicanism with concise
contempt, an | take to their bosoms the inf
nous viper of the Nebraska-Kansas act,
which already has given the party amortal
wound.
With sycophantic SLAYER on the present
Government, they yet push Pierce aside
with the roughness of shoulder-hitter, and
bring forward into the ring Buchanan as the
first choice for the Presidency.
THE PANAMA OUrRAGE.-Itis understood
that Mr.. A. B. Corwine, cnnsul at Panama
under Mr.. Fillmore, has been appointed Spe-
cial Commissioner to report to the State
Department officially relative to the late out
rage on the Isthmus.
The Norfolk Argus says the United States
ship Portsmouth, Captain Foote, which
sailed from tlat port on Thursday for the
East Indies, has entirely dispensed with the
spirit rat ons by the voluntary arrangement
Of the Grew, being the first United States
ship which ever left that port under such
regulations.
GaocERIEs.-Louis Kriger has opened up
his new stock of fresh Family Groceries in
his new store, south side Of Third street
above Minnesota. He will be ready to ad.
vertise at length IN our columns in day o,
two.
