Tn defiance of the general agreement Of "Na.

and "preserve the Union, the following "incen-
diary paragraph appeared in the last N. T..

"A negro belonging TO Longan Harbor, in Chicago,
in the State Of Mississippi, arose in the night and
killed his wife by cbopppg off her head after hch

for this horrible deed that his wife, beautiful

capiices Of her MASTER
We defy any one to devise or give currency to a

improves on the laws iniquity and takes her also,
leaving to the wretched negro but that last

resource he, whether for good or evil, avails him

inbumanity to Man" that invests this case with its

The National Implement Trial commences to-day
at Syracuse. We presume little will be done till
tomorrow, and that Wednesday and Thursday will
be the most interesting days of the Trial. The
fears that the Grass and Grain of Central New.

must be already nearly dspeled BY the seasonab!s
warmth and brightness Of the last eight days; but
the hurry in which this bright weather has involved
nearly every farmer will operate to diminish the

A serious riot occurred last evening between the
German and Irsh population of the Seventeenth
Ward and the metropolitan Police force, in the
peiphborhood of Fourth street and Avenue A,
which resulted in the death Of an innocent party
a German by the name of Muller, blacksmith,
who was passing the scene Of riot at the time with
bis wife and child. Sergeant Hedden, of the Sew
enteenth Ward Police, it is feared, is fatally
wounded, and several Of the Policemen were more
or less injured Six or seven Of the ringleaders in
the riot were arrested, and at late hour all was
reported quiet in the Ward.
With the exception Of the riot in the Seventeenth
Ward, the upper part Of the city was unusually
quiet yesterday. But very few rum-shops at
tempted to keep open.

count Of visit to Gen. Cass, reports him to h1s
said:
coffee seeking in men, women and children. hS
become our national malsdy. God only knows nov
it is to be checked, or in what direction tho cufs
lies"
Pretty well this in the old General, to be sure.
Having himself, by the diligent and pertinacious
labor Of long life, climbed to the top OF tho lad
der or at least as near the top as he ever expects
to get, the old gentleman rolls up bis eyes in
lamentations over the maady Of Office seeking, and
is prayerfuly turning his attention toward finding
the means TO abate il. He has done more, We fear,
BY bis own example to spread this alarming malsdy
than he will ever be able to do, whether BY preach
ing or praying to abate it.

The following hailing sign Of distress appears in
TIL. LouyuoI of Co,u,n,rcs of SATURDAY.

The Journal Of Commerce of Saturday:
1t is fact worthy of notice, that the two most in
fuentia American papers In the State, viz The Ner-
York Express and The Albany Statesman, are among
the most earnest sssalants Of the New Police Law,
and the whole system Of measures by which the Black
Republican Legislature have sought to deprive the
people Of this Metropolis Of the right Of selfgovern-
Inc in their municipal affairs. As this is likely to be
the great question at the next election, for the
system of oppression is applicable to every city, vii.
lage, and township in the Slate why should not Demo.
Gratis and Americans cooperate in sending such men to
the Legislature as will unite in repeating those iniqu
tous laws!"
- Perhaps the journals above named can coax
the Americans" into cooperation with that fac
ton of the Democrats who sustain Fernando Wood.
If we should judge, however, from the past expe-
rience of the Americans with Fernando-which is
very similar 10 that of Mr.. E. Z. Marvins-or from
the fate Of those Americans who were lately thrown
into the clutches of our Municipal pOtentate Gas

Tayler-Or from the indications on every side of

great capital and wealth. known to oil the business
men of the City, who were persuaded through
what private influences and for what private eoo'
remains yet to be dsclosed--to come ous IN
printed certificate as the indorsers OF WOOD
as fit and proper person to be chosen Mayor.
Add to these, such newspapers as The journal q
Commerce and The Herald, which, however they
may differ Is to the particular style doing the thing,
and possibly as to their individual motives, yet
certainly display in all their political attractions
. wonderful degree of similarity-with this differ
ence only, that while The Herald now and then
deyiates for moment from its natural bent, BY
way, we suppose, Of showing its agility, The Josr-
nal of Commerce points always in one direction,
like rusted vane grown incapable Of turning.
Those parties, not the denizens of the Five Points
nor the criminals of the City, are the parties to be
held responsible for the election Of such men
az Mayor Wood, Alderman Wilson, Judge
Russell and their tail, in both branches of the City
Council and other departments of the City Govern
ment. The Five Points have sins enough Of their
own to answer for, without being held responsible
for this.

In the matter Of the Street Commissioner
chip, on Saturday, Judge Davies made an e1-
planatory order in the matter OF the writ
of eertterari issued by him, to the effect
that the writ should not be deemed to
operate as stay of proceedings in the suit before
Judge Peabody. This leaves Judge Peabody TO sign
the warrant of arrest and warrant Of search applied
for by Mr.. Conovers counsel the one being In
tended to take Mr.. Devln into custody in case ne
refuses to give up the possession Of the books &C.
ana the other to tneable the Sheriff to find the
books and bring them before Judge Peabody to be
delivered into the hands Of Mr.. COnOver.

We are assured by Mr.. Alderman Clancy thatth
statement in our columns of Saturday, that he de-
sres to 20 to London as one Of the ENJOYS sent to
bring the Great Eastern to New-YOrk, is entirely
erroneous and that his proposal to appropriate
50 200 for the mission was not with any view Of
enjoying its benefits himself His purpose being
thus purely patriotic, the personal imputation u
unjust and injurious. This is very well; but at
the same time We must say that the Alderman's
project has very much the appearance Of job.
and usties some severity of inference on the part
of the public.

Though undoubtedly the most vicious portion of
the inhabitants Of this City, every gambler, policy
seller dealer in stolen goods, and all the keepers Of
brothels and low grog shops co6psrated to the full
extent Of their ability in the election and reelection
of Mayor Wood, it would be exceedingly unjust to
hold them responsible for the misgovernment which
has taken place under Mayor Woods regime.
Numerous as the vicious classes are in this City,
they are by no means numerous enough nor inAu.
entail enough to be able to designate and elect
candidate for Mayor or to control the administra-
ton of the City Government. OF themselves and
for the accomplishment Of any purpose Of their own,
they are powerless. Their only effect upon the
politics of the City is a. tools, instruments and
make-weights in the hands Of others. They have no
power to select or choose candidate Of their own;
their power is shown by throwing themselves in
body into the scale of some bad man selected as a
candidate by parties occupying far more respect
able and Influential position than themselves They
never would have thought Of forcing Wood on the
City, in the capacity Of Mayor, had he not first
been Designated for that Office by others. Then
they rushed in body TO bis aid, and hepedto swell
that plurality vote under which he has held and
holds Office.
The disgrace, then, the damage and loss to
the City inflicted by such Mayor as
Wood is not to be sadded of upon the
Five Points, the gambling. houses and the grog-
shops. The truly responsible parties are to be
looked for and are to be found in very different
quarter. Those parties are the intriguing politicians
who helped Wood to nomination not only at
TammaDy Hall, but also from the seeding Hards-
fraudulent intrguers, who sold their aid to Wood,
doubtless, for consideration well understood be.
tween the parties. Add to these intriguing and
interruptions politicians that great mass of highly
respectable citizens, who in matters of politics 70
sign all pretensions to private judgment or pri-
vate conscience, voting for the candidate Of the
party, whoever he may be, without the slightest
consideration Of what they may think Of him as a
private individual. Add to these, those men Of
