A New York politician is thus
painted in u public lecture delivered
10 Boston an evening OF two since by
the Hon. Josiah Quincy:
IF wn7could visit Washington, and
look behind the curtain, we should
be, shocked to find how large mum.
Der of members either gave or with
held their votes for pee uniary rea-
sons. 1t had come to be considered
merely as a business transaction
He had lately witnessed in New
York a case where open bribery was
practiced; has seen S25 given for a
single vote, and on his expressing his
surprise that man could afford TO
pay such a sum for one vote, he was
assured that the candidate if reflect.
ed, would makesa money making OPP
GRAFTON Of it; he had made $50, 600
at the last session for getting a bill
through, and ut that rate could af-
ford to pay good price. This vas
understood BY bis constituents; who
were content ms long as he paid them
LITERALLY for their votes; and to the
lack Of integrity in those constituents,
after all, could be traced these re.
suits. ~ Ha

Bank of East Tennessee. Mother

The Knoxville Register Of the

On Saturday last the Bank Of East
Tennessee, at this place, closed lis

The closing OF the Bank at Knoxville
has taken many persons by surprise,
inasmnch, as ii is generally under
stood that tie paper redeemable at
this counter, constituted conpafa
lively small part Of the Banks cir

justification Of this step, that mas
much as the President has made an
assignment of all his Individual real
estate in behalf Of the Bank, ard the
assets of the Institution have been
placed in the hands Of Trustees, it
was improper to Disseminated favor
Of the holders of bills on the Moth

partially, the Bank has concluded,
for the sake Of far dealing, TO close

One thing Which should have been
done by the Bank upon Closing its

Electoral Vote Of Wisconsin lost

The Buffalo Express Of the 9th
inst, states an important fact, deriy-
ed from its Wisconsin exchanges
1t seems that the electoral vote Of
that State has been lost and cannot
be cast for Fremont. The United
States law provides that the electors
of. the several States shall meet in
in their State capitols on the first
Wednesday in December, and then
vote for President and Vice Presi-
dent. The statute is imperative in
regard to the day. Tbe Wisconsin
electors started from their homes in
time, according to their usual travel
ing conveuiences. to be in Madison
on December 8, but violent snow
storm set in and detained them on
the road until the day had passed
Whom they did arrive they could do
nothing, but returned home as pri-
yate citizens. The loss of this State,
in the manner specified, might, bad
its vote determined the result, led to
very serious trouble and inconTeni-
ence.

SHARP PRAcTIcE.--A constable in
.Cazenovia, having been. continually
foiled in his efforts to obtain admis-
sion to the house of a certain man
whose property be wished to seize for
debt, adopted the ruse of getting a
brother constable, whore face was IN
known, to effect an admission and
accomplish the seizure. The scheme
appeared to answer; constable got in:

him up stairs;constable passed through

self in the street, and the door locked
after him! lie should have looked

An APT REpLY.-In reply to the
sneering remark Of the New York
Herald. that the Southern Democrat
ic press bad become more moderate
ia their tone, the Mobile Register
says:
s'The democratic press Of the
south have grown mole moderate IN
their tone because they feel satisfied
that the election Of Mr. Buchanan
has secured to the country a firm
and impartial supporter OF The con
stitutien and the individual rights OF
the States. They have confidence
in the man. They know bin to be
a true lover not only Of the Union
but of the consultation, those Sia-
-mese twins Of liberty which, if one
is stabbed by fanaticism, the other
dies oof despair"

Facilities for Committing Crime.

for Committing Crime.
The New York Police Gazette,
speaking ofthelate arrests of bor-
glars in that city, says;
1.-The facilities which the thieves
Of Now York have for committing
crime are almost beyond belief.
Their organization is complete. In
searching Moore's house after his es-
cape, the police discovered a num-
Der of confidential letters which be
had received from all parts OF the
country. These letters it would be
highly injudicious to publish, as they
implicate- respectable merchants out
West, and parties in this cityr who
are supposed to be beyond suspicion.
These letters show the faeility Afford
ed thieves 10 disposing oftheir prop
erty. !. There were also letters from
the owner Of D noted "Eence IN
Tenth street.
"In perusing these letters care
fully, it Was also discovered that this
gang, With which Aieora was connect
ed, had mechanics and laborers in
their employ, whe furnished them
with full and accurate description
Of the houses they were at work up
on. There were also found num-
Der of diagrams Of stores and dSeli-
ings of an innumerable number Of
houses 10 this city; how the various
apartments were lail out, aud. if a
store, where the safe or silks were
deposited; if dwelling house, where
the money OF silver plate was locat
ed. Who FURNISHED the thieves with
these diagrams? There is not q
store or house worth breaking into
but. is as well known 10 the burglars
as the owners themselves. Even
the very locks on the door are known
get M impression has been made
with WAX. Who gives information
Of this characterI NbW York is at
the. mercy of thieves; 90 police, hpw-
ever effective, can afford adequate
protection

GALLATlN, Tenn, Dec. 20.-The
fourringleaders in the contemplated
insurreetion, have just been taken
from Jail by large aud respectable
body of. our first citizens and will 10
a few minutes be hung. They, we're
committed on. Monday last by Thorn
as. Boyers, who had been engaged
closely for two weeks investigating
the conspiracy, and bound over to
Court for trial. The citizens believ-
ing that terrible example was nee
essary, determined at large meet
ing at the Court House to execute
them. The jailor refused to deliv-
Ell. the key Of the Jail, when the doors
were broken down and the four ne
groes, Aick, slave Of James Cart
wright; Sam Tuck, slave Of M. S.
Singleton, Jack, slave. of Mr.. Law
renee, and. Dick, one Of the Fairview
negroes, were swing up and hung
There is general acquieseence in the
action Of the meeting, as they were
undoubtedly guilty.

Carving Concealed Weapons.

Much has been said and written
in depreciation Of the practice of car
rying concealed weapons, but thus
far to little effect in this country at
least. The Mayor of Baltimore, Mr..
Swain, has hit upon plan, which
If steadily enforced, vii. 60 Ear
towards abolishing this evil. He has
given the Police Instructions to seize
and convey 70 his Office every unlaw-
ful weapon which they fpd upon the
person of citizens. The Sun SAYS:
This order has already had a good
effect, and the Mayor is receiving
firearms every morning. OF almost
every possible description, which have
been taken from the hands of reck
less and lawlesspersons ,as well as those
under influence OF intoxicating drink.
Yesterday morning High Consta-
bic Herring handed to him no less ihan
sixty pistols which The police had
seized on Il single day and night.
Many of them were double barrelled
weapons, and in pretty good shooting
order. Three which were seized
were so worthless that they were
broken up. Captain Vickers, of the
eastern district watch, had MS many
more as could be carried in large
handkerchief He also deposited
them in the Mayors armory. Capt.
Gruver, Of the Western district
police, also seized thirteen pistols
whilst Capt. Mitchell, Of the middle
district watch, also contributed three
valuable weapons, viz: two beautiful
revolyers and rifle.
Should the good work continue
the officers will soon have broken ur
the practice Of carrying deadly Weap.
ons, especially on the part OF the
young and lawleSs, which has thus
fa+ contributed very materially
to the scenes of disorder and blood
shed. The. Mayor is determined
to retain the weapons, at all events
until the parties claiming them SHOW
good Cause why they should be re.
turned to them. -
a day OF two since, fellow en-
tered the Mayors private room, ane
rudely demanded bis revolver. The
MAY or told him firmly and promptly
that be should not have it unless ht
could prove that it was his, aud tina
be would give good security not. to
use in a k.wless manner. The fel
low went off in very bad humor.

t is curious that OF the six ean-
didates for President and Vice Pres
ident, only the democratic candidates
carry their own States. Buchanan
and Breckenridge carry Pennsylvania
and Kentucky, Fillmore is the lowest
of the three candidates in New York;
Donelson is badly beaten 10 Tenn
