DecIination Of Jndse Lea.

We have been informed that Judge Lea has per-
emptorly declined the Office of Superintendent of
Elections rendered him by Gov. Wicklife.
This declination will be source Of much regret for
various considerations with men Of all parties. We
had hoped the Judge would make up his mind to ac-
cept the office, with the view Of testing the consti-
tutionality Of the law under which the appointment
was made, before the Supreme Court, at as early a
moment practicable. As he has seen fit to decline
we trust the Governor will be able, right speedily, to
designate some gentleman who will not decline.
We are anxious, as good citizens, to see this office
filed, the Central Board of Commissioners organized
and all other necessary steps taken to enforce the
law, in order that it may lead to such conflicts (not
violent ones) will precipitate judicial issue and
final judgment. The sooner the question is decided
the better for the community at large. All just men
of all parties, in out Of Office, should exert them
selves to accomplish this end. Delay can do no good
and may be productive of harm may superinduce
unnecessary excitements may lead to CONVERSATIONS
and litigation may occasion uncertainty where there
should be certainty, and may be the Of injur-
ously affecting important interests in the future.
1t to altogether preferable that the consti-
tutionalty Of the Election Law should be settled by
an issue made on the June elections than by pospon-
ing it to the fall elections. The issue must come
sooner later, and putting it off will only aggravate
instead of allayng, the ills under which labor and
must continue to labor until the remedy Of Supreme
Court decision is applied. Therefore, in the name OF
sound policy, justice and humanity let US have de
cision of this vexed complicated and vitally import
ant question with little postponement the nature
| of the case will admit of.

London had been in that city to visit Crawford the
sculptor. The eye was examined and it was decided

to proceed to London and place himself under the

become involved there is chance for life. On the

his finger in the sweet fluid and then licking them,
when he lost his balance, reeed and over he went,
head first into the molasses! He was pulled out by

GEN. Wool ON THE BRAyEsr MAN.-The Alder
manic Committee having addressed circular to seve-
raj general officers to enquire who is entitled to Gen.
Jackson's gold box under the provisions of the will,
have received reply from Gen. John E. Wool. The
letter is dated at Troy and the pertinent portion of it
is as follows:
Sr-From your communication, it would seem
that it is determined that the bequest shall at once
be given to him who shall, by proper judges and
MEANS be adiudged the most uaiant and deserving
officer private in the regular volunteer army,
during the Mexican war. - ...
In reply, would remark that I was engaged but
in battle, and that the battle of Buena Vista.
There many officers and privates in that battle,
who greatly distinguished for their bravery and
valiant conduct. 1t would, however, be extremely
difficult to determine who among those engaged was
most valiant. A similar remark, have no doubt,
would apply in almost every battle fous ht in Mexico,
beginning with that of Palo Alto and terminating
with the capture of the City of Mexico.
How many of the patriotic and raliant officers or
privates were engaged in the with Mexico, from
New York, / have no means of knowing. l will,
however venture to assert that, of those engaged in
the various battles, at least one hundred if not five
times that number, were equally valiant in defence
of their country and our countrys rights. From all
which it will be discovered how difficult it would be
| to determine who was most valiant, in other words,
most brave, of those from New York engaged in the
Mexican war. To me, it appears an impracticable
question.

WREcK1NG INrELLIGENCE-The Key of the Gulf
(Key West) of the 9th inst. has the following:
The ship Helen Il. Booker, Otis master, from Car
diff bound to New Orleans, with cargo of I047 tons
of railroad iron got ashore at Elbow Reef about six
miles from Carysfort Reef Light on the lst inst,
striking heavily. The services of wreckers were en-
ployed and after tightening the vessel of 800 tons Of
iron she was hove off the 7th inst into four faith
oms WATER the sea being smooth at the time; but
finding they could not keep the ship afoat, and a
heavy swell commencing to roll, more chain was paid
out and the vessel allowed to drift the reef again,
in order to much of the cargo possible The
vessel lngfast and striking hard and the wreck
employed saving the cargo, 800 tons of which
has been brought to this place, consigned to James
Flor. ..F
The bark Phah,, of New York, spohord master,
from New Orleans bound to Gottenburg, with cargo
of 72S bales of cotton and 400 hhds OF tobacco struck
the Tortugas Shoal the morning of the 5th inst,
at o'clock, where she.remained fortyeight hours,
striking heavily the rocks, causing the vessel to
leak badly and was got off by the wreckers and ar;
rived at this port to-day. The vessel badly strained
and chahed, keel gone and the pumps going con
stanty will barely keep her free. She will probably
be discharged and undergo repairs. Consignees,
