uSAcCoUNTADLE.-An evidence of the strange
ness of human tastes and whms is the morbid curl
osity exhibited by hundreds and thousands in New
York city to get glimpse at the persons implicated
in the Burdell tragedy. Even young Snodgrass, who
probably had nothing more to do with the matter
than living in the house and being intimate with the
family, is paraded before the public in wretchedy
executed woodcut, in the act manipulating guitar
In connection with this an exchange asks petulenty:
What earthly good can it do any son of Adam born
to see "yonng Snodgrass?' We would much sooner

FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 27, 1857.
We are Drifting that Way.

.
We copy the following article from the Baton
Rouge Gazette and Comet, of the oath inst The
idea Of selling out all offices to the highest bidder
not new one. "Rome's imperial crown when
Romans had degenerated about as far as the Ameri-
can people will have degsnerated If they progress at
their present downward rate ten years longer-was
frequently auctione1 off to the man who possessed
the most money and was willing to pay the highest
price for the splendid baube. 1T is true the plan
didn't work well, and resulted in the disgrace and
ruin of both Rome and Romans But, in this 81 pro-
gressve age," in this immense country" inhabited
by =" stupendous peoples" some other result might
flow from the auctioneering process we have alluded
to. We shall not however, hazard prediction to
the nature Of that result although regard for truth
constrains US to say that are somewhat in doubt
as to whether the old-fashioned "auctioneering )"
process through which rulers of the land were
selected could be much than the present secret
irresponsible "caucus process, now prevailing in
the Legislature of Louisiana. '-j' -A s
