SHARP Practice AT NIAGARA FALLS
The Niagara Falls Times says that Mr..
Webster Of the American Hotel, at Nj
agara city, was formerly resident oi
her Britanic Majesty's Province of Can
ada but moved suddenly into the Uni
ted States. leaving his creditors to whis-
tie for Sl2,OO0-And that wasn't all.
He was in the habit of visiting Clifton
on the Sabbath day at which time he
could not be arrested. Recently a re-
ward of $4,000 was offered to any per-
son who would place Mr.. w. in the
hands of the Canadian authorities. On
Sunday last Mr.. w. visited Clifton as
usual, when Mr.. Peck evinced a great
Interest in that gentlrman's welfare, by
treating him literally till he became in
toxicated, when it was a very ersy mat
ter to get up dispute with him, which
resulted in fight and Mr.. Webster
was arrested for disturbing the peace.
Of course the only object Of the whole
affair was to have him detained until the
following morning, when he was again
arrested as as absconding debtor.

The New York TrIbune ON Fops.

What we need in this country is more
and not fewer gentlemen called fops-
men who dress with taste, are scru-
pulously clean, wear eyeglasses, if near
sighted, and use them as they choose
do not chew tobacco and spit in other
peoples faces 1t hotels, theatres. rail cars
and steamboats,. "a fop' is in the Uni
ted States, universally well bred. We
have never known an exception. Man
ners with him are study until they be-
come polished, and dress pursuit until
it become an excellence. Most sssu-
redly, the south and west needs fops.
Such men are often models of industry.
If men of business, they are accurate,
and to be relied on; if artists or literary
men, eminent for their taste. No man
who ever lived was greater fop than
Washington. He ordered his clothes of
his tailor with curious particularly. He
dressed with extreme care. lie was ex-
act and elegant with his horses, carriages
and all minute details. He was, there
fore, proportionally accurate in other
things. Had eyeglasses been in fashion,
as his age increased, possibly he would
have sported one, and looked across a
table at women opposite. Pitt, China
ming, the Duke of Wellington, Charles
Dickens, would all be considered fops by
vulgar men.
Among the men to whom England
and the civilized world owe much is
Brummell, the king of fops. He found
society outrageously dressed, and he
left it, so Tar as it could initiate him, well
dressed. lie laid down as rule for
gentleman, "fresh water, and plenty Of
it," when hardly house knew the lux
ury of a bath. Indeed, so dirty and
barberous even was New York recently,
that the Clarendon hotel. not long since
built, was the first hotel which had ba-
thing rooms in connection with sleeping
chambers: and the idea came from fop,
to our certain knowledge. We wish the
country no greater luck than the multi
plcation of fops--of men who are clean
and elegant in dress, mild in manners, es-
chewers of filthy tobacco. gallant to the
sex, and incapable of committing an in
suit. Ifthey abounded among "the chiv-
alry," tobacco-spiting and street fight
ing would become incontinent!y obsolete,
If they could be established in the Bow
cry Five Points, liquor bars and rows
would become unknown.
The Evansville daily journal., 1857-09-01
The Party Press.

The Cincinnati Commercial has the
following correct remarks upon the de-
elining influence of party presses.
Party organism is on the decline.
Not that party organs do not still exist.
for they are, in fact, almost as numer-
Gus as ever; but their history and con-
dition is demonstrating to all that they
are but sort Ofdisease, whose phenome-
ma are becoming daily more morbid and
abnormal, as if preparatory to being
sloughed off by system too robust
much longer to admit of its disturbing in
huences. AS an evidence of this, we
would point out the fact that the party
organ is growing constantly more and
more servile--turning away from the
people and making PoUer-office or par
ty leadership--the author of its senti-
mentS and the object of its adOrat ion.
1t is true that it attempts to conceal its
desertion OF the popular cause by wordy
and iulsome adulation of the people,, but
its aspirations are to become the paid
advocate and vehicle of those who have,
or hope to have, the ability to dispense
those favors which belong only to the
possession of official power and patron
age. The effect Of this is natural. The
people are turning away from the organ.
The party press has ceased to be profit
able in the way of legitimate business.
Its circulation is dropping of, its infu-
ence decreasing, and. by the time it has
got fairly established as a pensioner up
on power, the organ has so far parted
with its influence that the intermittent
and grudgingly bestowed assistance
which it receives is felt to be a payment
fer which there has been no adequate
return. A few years have done much
to increase the tendency on the part of
the people to distrust the integrity of
the party-press, and no institution can
long survive the effect of an established
suspicion. The people are learning to
appreciate the absurdity OF linking pub
lie journalism with paid attorney ship,
whose primary object is to help into or
keep in power CLIQUE, faction or body
of men ambitious for Office, that appreci-
alton they are maniesting in a way that
is most eifectual-by leaving the party
press to the care ofits immediate clients.
