From New York.

New YoRK, New. S.
Judge Mitchell decided to-day to al
low Mrs. Cunningham to remain on
bail.
Simeon Draper hes declined to be
come a member of the Board of Police
! Commissioners.
The unemployed Germans and Irish
held another meeting in TompkiusSquare
to the number of 40G0 or 5000; they
passed resolutions TO the effect, that hav-
ing arrived at the gloomy conviction
that during the prcscut crisis. it Will be
impossible to get employment by indi-
viduaJ exertioas, they submitted to the
Mayor that he cause the employment of
the unemployed, by employing them on
the public works, which have long been
contemplated. Some of the speakers
were particularly vindictive against the
more wealthy portion of the conlmuni-
ty. They marched through various
streets to the City Hall, where further
speeches were made and n c~.nImunica-
ton read, which will be sub:uittei TO the
City Council this evening, asking the
boa-d TO carry out the plans recently
suggested 10y the Mayor. An interview
vas then bad through q communication
with Mayor Wood who expressed sym
patby With the Oh ct of their meeting,
and said he would do all in his power
for the alienation of the terrible misery
now resting on tie people, aud that LIE
would bring the memorial next week to
the deliberation Ct the Common Coun-
Gil, and that be hoped the committee
would eudeavor to keep the masses quiet,
and to make them wait until ihe uccis-
ion of the authorities is given.
Mr. Boiler made a speech to the ef-
feet that the people could not wait till
next week; they must have work or
death. The Mayor then promised to
sub nit the memorial 10 the Council this
evening, and urge them to decide with
out delay. After some u%nimportant Oh
servatiors on the part of some other
member of the committee, the deputies
returned to the steps OF the City Hall,
where speeches continued, amidst bur
rabs of the multitude. Some said We
viii hunger Till Monday, others, 10
longer. The meeting finally adjourned
to meet Monday in a body in the Park,
and parade the streets:-It was also
agreed that each Ward should organize
so as to know who are the men really in
want in each Ward.

State remperance Convention.

Al convention of delegates represent
ing the different Divisions of the Sons
of Temperance was In session in this
city last week; but as they transacted
business with closed doors, of course We
did not witness any of their proceedings:
We learn, however, that they resolved
to make a vigorous effort to bring about
still more stringent Temperance Laws
in the State. This agrees with whatw We
have understood was to be the ne"
iss,,e }, after II became known that
I4~muzruUy would have control OF the
Legislature. During the last two or
three years, while the Black Republi-
cans were in full power, with ar i'm
mense majority in both branches of. the
Legislature, we heard not a word said
about the enactment of a Maine Law in
Ohio, nor did We hear anything of a
State Temperance Convention being held
at all. Bleed. Kansas" was then
the great hobby of the opposition and
many of the political Temperance Re-
formers bad no objections to stake a
horn" when a favorable opportunity
presented itself, especially If they qcere
candidates for office, and were circula-
ting amongst their friends !
To talk about ~enacting the Maine Law
in Ohio is simply absurd. In the State
of Maine, where that restrictive meas
ure had its origin, after being fairly
tested. it proved a lamentable failure.
and was condemned and repealed by an
overwhelming verdict of the people
You can't legislate for a mans appetite,
you cannot regulate by law what be
shall eat, drink and wear. 1t is an ut
ter impossibility.
This Maine Law fanaticism is about
on a par with Abolitionism, Negro
EquaIity-ism, D~isunion-ism, Woman's
Rights-ism, Mormonism, aud every 9th
er absurd aud wicked ism, stated by the
disorganizers, infdels and fanatics of the
day, who are never satisfied to see the
world move on in its regular course, ac-
cording to the Laws of Nature and Ma
ture's God.
We are the friend of temperance, and
we practice it in our daily walk and con-
versation; bue we are infexibly opposed
to this Political Temperance Movement,
that every once in a while breaks out
like an old sore that was only half cured,
and is carried on by professional tenn
perance traders, who have spent the best
part of their lives in drinking cun
whiskey and abusing their familles.-1dt'

rha Mansdeld Mobocrats.

A highly respectable gentleman of
Mansfield, who was at the Kenyon House
Ias. week, informed US that the brutal
and lawless conduct of Tom Ford, and
his brother mobocrats and Border
Rufians,a who act as a police body
guard for the Bank at that place, is al
most universally condemned by the citi-
zens of Mansfield and that a wonder
full change in public sentiment has ia.

the Bank and its friendsLfTom Eord

drive away note holders by threats aud
violence, he would probably find a crowd,
ten times as large, that would assemble
at the tap of the bell, ready aud will
ing to stop his Infamous, outrageous and
indefensible proceedings. The gentle
man alluded to further informs US, that
the Bank has really suspended specie
payments, and may therefore be regard
ed a broken institution. A citizen Of
Wooster the other day presented s40C

Cashier told him he could not be &C

Those CamelS.

The camcls and dromedaries imported
by the Government some years ago into
this State, for the purpose of trying the
experiment how they would answer the
purpose on our great American deserts
or in the extreme west of the State,
have proved eminently successful, and
come u To Neutrality-suspicious. of all.
At last accounts they were ON their
journey, heavily laden, to the extreme
frontier of New Mexico. All are now
satisfied that the importation of camels
was 10 chimerical flight, as was antici-
pated, but a wise, judieiou7 and eco
nomical scheme, rejecting credit on the
o~r'glnators of the plan. There are now
employed nineteen d~romedaries and
t~hirty-two camels on the frontier. The
climate agrees with them admirably, and
but few accidents by disease or otherwise
have occurred GalvestOn (Tezas) Csv-

Ready Paw System

At a meeting of the Business Men of
Ashland, held on the I'd day of Novem
Der for the purpose of discussing the
propriety of adopting a"Ready Pay
System" the folIOWing preamble aid
resolutions were adopted
WHKnEAs, Owing to a general expan-
sion of the Credit System, both in the
retail and wholesale business, a general
prcstration of the business interests OF
the country has been the result. Be-
lieyipg it to be the interest of the com
munity as well as that of the business
men of this place to adopt the Ready
Pay System, W. do adopt the following
resolutions:
Resolced, That from and after the
18th day of November, 1857, We adopt
~ -.
ResoIced, That we will take notes at
60 days with interest at ten per cent,
after maturity, payable at Bank. as cash.
ResoIved, That We will take all kinds
of marketable produce in exchange for
goods. at the highest market price.
Resolocd, That We pledge ourselves
to sell our goods at ten per cent less
profit, as An inducement to our custo-
mers to conform themselves TO this
principle of doing business.
As business men rely upon tho pat
ronage of this community for support we
feel il to be our daty to set forth the
reasons which have induced US to adopt
the Ready Pay System.
LIST 1t will enable us to purchase our
goods for cash at a discount of at least
ten per cent. from credit prices, and con
sequcntiy enable US to sell them at the
same discount.
I'd. It will enable us to do "equal and
exact justice" to all, in giving every man
who pays cash the benefit of bis money,
and not compelling cash buyers to sus-
tain the losses accruiDg from the credit
given to irresponsible parties.
Sd. It has become necessary to adopt
the ready pay system 10 the retail trade
IN order to enable us to comply with the
terms upon which most of the staple
articles are o purchased at wholesale,
namely, for cash.
4th. We believe the interest of the
entire community will, in the end, be
materiall promoed in variou ways. LIST.
In cop6ning the outlays of the commu-
nifty to its ability to pay and thereby saw
ing us all from embarrassments, which
always occur by failure of crops, or over
trading. I'd. By a saving of at least
ten per cent. to this community, which
they have annually paid to New York
and elsewhere to sustain this credit
5th. Almost every arrtvio~Laauntry
produce now finds a ready market for
cash, thereby doing away with the me-
ecessity of credits.
