CoNDYTxON or THE POOR WHITE PEG
PILE m THE NORTH. k

| We have often taken occasion to show by quoting
extacts from Northern papers, that the condition OF
the poor white people of their large cities was inf
nitey worse in all material respects than that of
Southern slaves, viewing slavery through highly
calore distorted and almost invariably false abolition
medium. Take their own accounts Of themselves as
true and their descriptions Of our social institutions
as correct, aud we occupy eminence as far above
them as pure, unpretending philanthropy is above
hypocrtical pretenson and disgusting charlatansm

and from their own confessions do they deserve the

In the local column of the New York Times, of the

The correspondence which we publish in another
column between Gen. Xatruch, commanding a
division of the Central American allies, and Capt.
Davis, in command of the U. S. ship st. Mary',
affords abundant evidence, if any were needed, OF
the disgraceful completely OF our Government IN
the illibustering robberies and murders of which
during the past year Nicaragua has been the scene
The Central American General informs Capt.
Davis that steamer from San Francisco Is
momentsriy expected at San Juan del Sur where
the ST. Marys was lying. with new recruit OF
fllibusters from California for Walkers army: and
be suggests, as these men had left Francisco IN
violation Of the neutrality laws, that Capt. DAVIS
should prevent their landing.
Capt Davis, in his reply. affects to treat this
invasion of Nicaragua by fillibusters from the Uni
ted States as civil war raging in that country, as
to which it was his duty, and that Of his Govern
IN, Mt. to preserve an exact neutrality He adds
and here be certainly stands on strong ground
il must be as clear to you as to me that, had my
Government intended that this ship should take
"the active part that you propose in the questions
tbat at present disturb the peace of this country,
81 would not have omitted TO furnish me with the
Unnecessary Instructions" So far Capt. Davis is
undoubtedly right Had he been sent to Mic
aragua for any other purpose except to afford
aid and comfort to the flibusters, he would
no doubt have been told so. If be were even there
to protect American property, he would not lie
quietly along side of vessel stolen by one of Walk
er's confederates from an American citizen, and
which he speaks of in this very correspondence as
ship of var belonging to the opposite party, with
the presence Of which in the harbOr he tsunts the
Costa Rcan General, recognizing as his naval
equals The pirates 10 possession of that vessel.
But though 50 very scrupulous about preserving
bis neutrality when called upon to interfere with
Walkers men, this same captain had no hesitation
in retaining BY force and threats from the hands
of the Costa Ricans some boats which an American
vessel lying at San Juan del Sur had lent to Walk
er, and which the Costa Ricans had captured
while thus employed
Of the same character is his great interest in the
safety of the Transit Company's property in the
hands of the Costa Ricans, while he looks upon
Walkers robberies of American citizens with perfect
nonchalance. But in all this, Captain Davis must
be understood as acting not for himself but for his
Government. Doubtless he conforms to bis in.
structOns.

We are glad to learn that His Impudence, Mayor
Wood does not find all the city officials eager to
serve under his orders in the war which he has de-
clared and is waging against the Legislative and
Executive branches of government. The name of
Richard Busted, which was affixed to the original
papers in Mayor Woods first suit against the new
Police Commissioners was subsequently stricken
of, Mr.. Busted not thinking it one of his duties,
as Corporation Counsel, to take charge OF such
suits as the taxpayer, Fernando Wood, might
choose to institute.
We presume that, in consequence Of this last
proceeding, Mayor Wood will henceforth have the
exclusive conduct of all suits brought to test the
validity of the other city statutes, az well Is of the
Metropolitan Police Act, in which case he will
have quite enough to occupy all his faculties, from
and after to-day, when the new City Charter goes
into operation what with making believe govern
the city and protect himself as well as other Off
cias, from the ruthless hands of law and order.

Mr. Frederick 2. Stanton's Address to the People
of Kansas, on assuming the GoverDorship pro tem
is given in full in this sheet. 1t tells them very
blunty that they must submit to the bogus laws
and the authorities thereby established, because
1.-the Government Of the United States recognizes
those laws and authorities as Legitimate, but more
especially the Convention act. Mr.. Stanton quietly
tells the Free-State men that he will enforce "by
1.-THE use of all the means placed in my power"
the fiuudulently imposed laws aud that the
Free-State men must submit to them. As We
never expected anything better of Mr.. Stanton,
We do not complain Of anything but the untruth of
his assertions. THE Government of the United
States" has not done as lie asserts; for the House
of Representatives is an integral portion Of that
Government and it, on the contrary, has once
accepted the Topeka Constitution and never
recanted that vote. Its last decisive act with
regard to Kansas was repeal Of all the claws
which Dir. Stanton says he will enforce, and an
earnest effort to wipe out the Border Rufiian usur
patton entirely The Senate and President did not
concur in this righteous and concliatOry PROPOSE
ton, but it passed the House by large majority.

ton will submit the Slavery issue distinctly and
pressly to direct and fair vote of the People
of Kansas. How can he know thisl In theory,
it is not he, it is the people of Kansas who will
choose this Convention, and surely they might more
reasonably assume to tell him what their Delegates
will do than he, stranger to tell them. The fact
that he volunteers such a statement proves his per-
feet consciousness that this Convention emanates
not from the people Of Kansas, but from the Pro-
Slavery conspirators who have so long usurped
dominion over them.
Ii is idle for the Administration and its minions
TO promise fairness and honesty in future elections
in Kansas, while they uphold fraud aud villainy in
those that are past-nay, while they protect the
villains who eonrived and perpetrated those frauds
in the enjoyment Of the spoils. If be would have
Free-State men believe him sincere in these prom
Uses Dir. Stanton should intercede with bis Border
Ruffan admirers for an impartial scrutiny and cor
rection Of the new Census and Registry lists, and
for the concession Of at least one Fre-.State Judge
and clerk at each poll. He knows well that tho
Fsre-State men need some assurance 81 fair play
before they again vote at an election called and
held under Pro-Slayery auspices, and he knows that
notorious facts fully justify this requirement.

We understand that Judge Davies is to hold the
Court of Oyer and Terminer next month. He will
consequently preside at the trial of Mrs. Cunning
ham and Mr.. Eckel. which is sure TO commence on
Monday. Hopes are expressed that the District
Attorney will shorten the time for impannelng the
jury by boarding the lion that has heretofore stood
in bis path and testing the validity of the judge
made Law, according to the rules whereof man
must be either very ignorant or Oyer-wise, one who
can't or one who won't read the newspapers, be-
fore he can sit as juror capital trial. Since
the Legislature failed to pass the remedial statute,
it s high time for the Judges to behnk themselves
Of the rule of right reason, which underes all law,
particularly all iudge.made law.

time the Councilmen, though considerably afflicted
with the Injunction fever, have acquiescsd in the
new Charter, and partially organized the Depart
ments in accordance with it's provisions; they have
also pretty nearly disposed Of old business while
the Aldermen are deeply in the mire. AS 1t now
appears, the Councilmen will proceed UNDER the
new order: while the Aldermen will adhere
to the old, or refuse to go on al all
And if they should agree to, 1t highy
probable that the Mayor will hamper and thwart
them as far as possible with njunctions and vetoes'
The prospect therefore, for the May session, which
should open on Monday next, is decidedly uniavora-
bic for good government. At present the CITY
Treasury is empty, creditors are impatient Tor
their money, public works will be suspended Of
necessity. and 40 incalculabe amount OF damage
will ensue: vet. instead of an honest and earnest
endeavor ON the part of the Common Council, the
Mayor and heads of Departments, to avert or
remedy these evils we have personal quarrels,
political black guardism buncombe speeches, petty
schemes of swindling and overshadowing all, the
desperate struggle of Fernando Wood to trample
on everything that stands in the way of his ambi-
ton. The ft is on them; the Democracy are stark
mad upon constitutional rights; unacy is excited
BY everything that looks like new law; the dema-
gogues see in this public excitement an opportunity
to ride into notice if not into power, and it matters
little how strong the arguments brought against
this headlong folly. Who knows what or when
will be the end

The Superintendent of Markets, we regret to
perceive, is not required by the new City Charter
to be practical butcher or practical dairyman,
or practically connected in any way with the BUSH
ness Of marketing, while the Superintendent of
Repairs and Supplies must be practical builder.
The omission was we presume, unintentional the
spirit of the Charter evidently requires that the
chief Of each Bureau shall be man who actually
know the details of the business which it is his
duty TO oversee We trust that the City Inspector
will see the absurdity Of any other course, and act
accordingly.

After temporary lut, the Spring slave-trade has
fairly begun. Ii was never more active than within
the past three weeks, during which time at least
seven savers have sailed or been seized en- royage.
The United States officials in some cases are unable
TO obtain sufficient evidence to warrant the seizure
of the vessel or the arrest of the actual owners
These men, probably less than three score in all,
owners officers and crews carry on traffic which
is too lucrative 10 be abandoned for slight reasons
so lucrative, indeed, that the captain of the
schooner lately seized off the Cuban coast, said that
he did not mind the loss of $50 900 in consequence
in utter defiance of the law through whose
meshes they have thus far managed to escape.

The Board Of Aldermen closed their April session
asst night. Both branches of the Common Council
almost unanimously agreed at first that the new
Charter was about right; that it was even more
generous to the Buchanan party than they could
expect, and every member had made up his mind
to go to work under it in May. To clear the tables
Of papers and have fair start they agreed to meet
from day to day until the unfinished business was
disposed Of Not suggestion was thrown out
concerning the unccnstitutionaty of the Charter
until Dir. Wood initiated rebellion BY getting an
untenabe injunction upon the Police law; then it
suddenly became clear to the learned gentleman
from the First Ward alderman WILSON,, that the
Charter and all other laws were unconstitutional
and so he introduced his multiplying resolutions
From that day to the adjournment last night, the
factious majority Of the Aldermen have wasted
their precious time in deyisng ways and means to
eysde or annul all new laws, and in hearing the
report Of their lobbying Committee In the mean
