At this meeting, which was held IN a German
tbeater, a Mr.. Schenecke, we are told, concluded
an eloquent address by expressing hope "that az

{. matter in hand, and yindicate their outraged
4" rights" A Mr.. Untscbell, German, declared
that claws were utter nonsense and folly" A Dr.
Merkle said: 1.-THE Germans must not bear indit'
ferently."
Now where is all this to end 1t is not, it can
not be for moment, pretended that Miller met
with any misfortune as German which he would
not have met with if he had been of American birth.
And vet his death calls FORTH not a merely social
expression of sorrow on the part of his neighbors,
but political demonstration in which Germans as
Germans are called upon to oppose certain laws Of
the State Just as if those laws, admitting them to
be oppressive, did not bear just as heavily upon the
natye-born as upon the foreign.born. AT this
rate. what end will there be of factions, and wnat
resource from anarchy And now We ask, IN the
name of common sense, is the stamp of American
citizenship to be indelibly and Enthusiastically i'm

ltical relations are to be maintained when VIII

be happy and great, if every one shall insist, upon
every occasion, in asserting its own individuality
When we consider the political evils which
Germans have suffered, we are astonished and NOR
tilted at the loose and Incorporate way In which
they talk here about tyranny and violation OF their
rights How much worse off are they here than
they were when all Germany was trampled under
the feet of the first NapOleOn-when the whole
Empire was dsmembered- French garrisons
occupied Vienna and Berlin and Hamburg-when
universities were dissolved and the people beggared
to sustain the glory of military Moloch-when
men like poor Palm were shot for no crime
when State after State was absorbed by the
swollen Empire of France, and when the great
commercial towns, whose wealth was only equaled
by their antiquity, were sacked, conquered and
ruined Or are these turbulent peopleforgettul
of the sufferings the imprisonments the executions
and exactons more recently inflicted upon them by
their own rulers Is it credible that, after having
tasted of the cup of genuine and bitter deSpotlsm,
they can be cheated by demagogues, into the belief
that they are really suffering here We will moi
believe it. We will trust, as We know we may
trust TO their recurring good sense and sober second
thought.

can qualify. Unless the motion pending before
Judge Davies to qussh the eertiordr shall prevail,
the warrants will not be signed, and Mr.. Devlin
will remain in possession of the books and the
emoluments of the Street Commissioners ONCE.
In case the writ is quashed, the warrants will, we
presume, be signed and an attempt made to enforce
their execution. 1t is expected that Judge Davies
will render judgment to-day, and after he shall
have dcne So Judge Peabody will at once pass
upon the question of signing the warrants 1t has
been intimated that Judge Davies will be asked, II
the csrtiorari is quashed, to grant stay OF pro-
ceedings, pending an appeal from his decision; IN
which case Mr. DeyliD will continue to hold his
present position. But if this is, as we understand
it to be- matter within the discretion OF tue
Court, it would seem at least doubtful whether
a Judge will voluntarily go so far as 70 prac-
tically nullily his own decision, as well as tha1
of bis brother ..Justice. At all events, there Is
good reason to hope that the controversy Will Dc
settled for the present, one way or the other TO-
day-a result which all good citizens will hail with
delight.

Randall. The Superintendent was afraid to re-

the subject. He recoiled from the duties which
the law of 1853 imposed upon him. Does not this
admission of our correspondent prove all that we
have charged How many Hazeltines were left
in cu.tody Of the boys and girls of this city Aud
if the feelings Of the Superintendent we're so fine

On the whole, We are willing to leave this mass

The line of tactics adopted by the low aiae
boarding house keepers Of this city, to defeat IL
operation of the new system for shipping aud ry.
ing sailors, recently agreed upon by the merchana
of all the principal shipping ports, seems to n
pretty exactly modelled on the line Of tactics
adopted by Mayor Wood to defeat tho operation Of
the late legislative provisions for reforming the I'D.
ministration of our city affairs. The sailor land.
lords 60 upon the principle, according to an sc-
count of the matter which We find in The Erpus
that they can as general thing, make the
more ignorant of the sailors believe anything
This is precisely the principle adopted BY tie
Mayor. Who however, does not limit his expen.
ments to the more ignorant only, but extend
them and with some appearance OF success to
many who would consider themselves very scurvIy
treated should they be classed under that head;
say, for instance, The Express.
Some of these boarding house keepers, so va
are told, 90 so far as to tell the sailors that whea
they reach the end of the voyage they will be driven
of without any pay at all, and thus be entirely
robbed Of their wages-just u parallel to the May
ors cock bull stories about the designs OF the
Albany Legislature TO rob the good people Of
New.York of their liberties and franchises
The motives, too, by which these men are
Influenced in banding together, as they have done
to defeat this reform-so very much required for
the benefit of both sailors and ship-owners, and
even for the preservation Of the honor OF the coun
try-are precisely the same with those Of Wood.
These boarding. house sharks consider the sailors
fair game, and themselves as having vested right
of which they cannot be deprived, to pursue and
devour them, exactly as Wood and bis clique Of
thieves, gamblers, and keepers of policy Offices,
brothels, and grog-shops, consider that they have
vested right to live upon the city and its industry
of which it is nothing better than sheer robbery
and oppression, and violation Of chartered rights
toattempt to deprive them.
In one respect, however, it must be confessed
that Mayor Wood and his clique, in their warfare
against municipal reform, have decided advau.
tsge over their brethren of the sailor boarding.
houses. So far as We have yet learned these dis
tinguished sailor landlords have not succeeded in
getting the private ear or securing the services Of
any of our Judges, so that they are not yet 10

only operate perfectly when driven at spsed OF
nearly four miles an hour; but if 90. this is
defect to be noted and obvated or endured and not
a merit to be commended. We could have wished
to see each machine operated at prescribed pace,
calculated to cut its acre in exactly an hour, and
their comparative execution under this rule care
fully noted.
OF the relative execution of this or that machine,
we have nothing to say. not having seen all the CON-
petitors tried will not even say that the estab-
lished public favorites have or have not been I'M
proved upon by some of their young rivals; but we
remarked as an encouraging fact that most OF the
farmers present-and we speak now Of men above
the suspicion of pecuniary interest or hired "blow
ing were partial to the machines used BY them
respectively. We conversed with farmers who had
severay used Ketchum's, or Manny's, or Aliens,
or some other Mower, and each uniformly had
confident good opinion Of that to which he was &C
custOmed. This coincidence is a signal testimony
in behalf of the machines generally.
That the farmers have already received great
benefit from the use Of these machines is undoubted
For instance, one farmer with whom we converted
udu obSietCu III CutbuS, monip, ohu A"o-o -'''
two tdns Of hay by an aggregate OF twenty-one
days work through the use of machine. The
grass was of>course heavy, probably yielding two
tuns of bay to the acre; but even thus the making
and housing of two tuns Of hay to each days work
is certainly good execution. Should any OF our
farming readers improve on this we Will thank
them for the particulars.
Some dissatisfaction was expressed but we think
not wisely, at the Judges keeping to themselves
the results of the DynamOmeter test. This is by
far the most conclusive test to be applied. That
machines can be made to NOW grass, nobody
doubts; and We think majority Of those we saw
work cut decidedly better than any scythe could do.
In fact we judged that they cut the grass on mod
erately rough ground quite as well as it could be
done with a scythe while on smooth ground they
cut herds -grass lower than we deem advisable.
But the question of relative power is not solved by
the cutting of this acre or that few minutes sooner
or lateror rather, the relative power exhibited s
that of the rival hOr,es, not that Of the rival ma
chimes. But the DynamOmeter determines and
registers the power actually expended, and is
therefore the very implement for these trials 1t
will not determine which machine cuts its acre
soonest or best these are otherwise ascertained;
but it will decide which cuts with least expense of
power and this lie material element in estimating
the respective values of rival machines. We I'M
derstoOd that the average requirement of power in
moving by machinery is rather above the average
required in blowing.
In conclusion, we are impelled to say that the
citizens of Syracuse and the farmers of its vicinity
have hOnorably cooperated in rendering hospitality
to those in attendance and providing every needed
facility for the Trial.
