NECESSITY FOR MORE CLEARING HoUsEs.-The
advantage derived from the clearing house sys
tenn in this city suggests imperatively the pro-
priety of its adoption throughout the country
Philadelphia, especially, must see how eminent
ly useful it would have proved there.
To take the first step toward organizing the
currency on proper basis, clearing houses
should be established either in every large town
or in the nucleus of each general banking di-
vision of the country-as for instance, at Boston.
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Richmond
and New Orleans. These clearing houses should
not only effect the exchanges between the banks
of the place where they are located but be-
tween all the banks Of the general division in
which they are situate. There should also be
established general clearing house at the city
of New York, for the general exchange of the
funds Of all parts Of the country.
This would be the first step towards proper
regulation Of the currency Of the United States;
indeed, until something is done to make the
clearing house system general, nothing can be
satisfactorily accomplished.

A Book THAT MAY MAKE A SESsATIoN.-In the
prevailing dulness of the literary market, we
notice book which may possibly create some
sensation in certain circles. published by APP
pleton Il Co. This is the Life Of Alexander
Hamilton, prepared by his son John c., from
official documents; a work which is to consist
of FIVE volumes, one Of which has already APP
peared.
1t Is, we believe, the purpose Of this book to
show that Alexander Hamilton was the fore
most character of the Revolution, and George
Washington only the second; that while the lat
ter possessed unrivalled moral force and self
reliance, he wasvery inferior to his young friend
in general knowledge, administrative capacity,
originality of genius, and the various arts which
go to make statesman. II will be claimed, we
understand, that If the freedom Of the United
States and their successful organization as an
independent republic be the work Of any one
man rather than any other, that man was Alex
ander Hamilton; and that whoever presumes to
dispute his pre-eminence or to award the glory
Of the deed to any one else does rank injustice
to one OF the greatest men who ever lived.
Such is, as we infer, the design of the
book. 1t will be precious tribute to the me-
mory Of one Of our greatest men by bis arec-
tionately admiring son.
Though the idea that Alexander Hamilton
was the secret counsellor and guide of Wash
ington is by no means new, it has never proba-
bly, been put forward in 20 authentic and au-
thoratative a shape as this. 1t will behove
the friends of General Washington to inquire
carefully into the facts and authorities, or the
homage paid by Americans Of all ages and par.
ties must hereafter be divided. There are very
good prima facie grounds in support of the
case which Mr.. John c., Hamilton proposes to
make out. II is well known that the organiza-
ton Of the administrative departments Of go
vernment was the work of Hamilton. II Is
generally conceded that he wrote the Farewell
Address. All biographers have admitted that
his counsel was sought by Washington before
taking any important step. Now, II, besides
these, we are shown letters and proofs estab-
fishing still closer relations between him and
Washington, and still greater influence on the
part Of Hamilton, IL will be high time to pay
honor to whom honor is due, and at least to set
up one statue Of Hamilton for every three OF
Washington.

THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE RIGHT PLACE
John Cochrane has, We see, been appointed
Chairman of the Committee on Commerce in
the House. The position is an important one,
and no man is better qualified to Gil it than Mr..
Cochrane. He is possessed Of great natural
ability, clear judgment, excellent temper. His
late position in connection with the Custom
House, and his legal practice in an extensive
commercial community like that Of New York,
constitute additional recommendations for the
post. In a conjuncture of commercial difficult
ties like the present, it is fortunate that COM
mttee upon whose labors so much of our future
safety may depend should be presided over by
a chairman Of such admitted intelligence and
administrative ability as Mr.. Cochrane.

OFFICE HOLDERS AND OFFICE SEEKING
There is good deal Of trembling and futtering
among the Office holders of this city, just now.
We allude more particularly to Mr.. Butter
worth, the Superintendent Of the Assay Office;
Mr.. Cisco, the Sub-treasurer; Captain Rynders,
United States Marshall Mr.. Hart, Port Survey
or: Mr.. Fowler, Postmaster, and Mr.. Sanders,
Navy Agent. AL these distinguished officials
have been more or less mixed up with the re-
cent political movements in New York and
Washington in such degree and direction as
TO make them feel rather ticklish about the head
and shoulders The movements of Governor
Walker, of Kansas, and Of Senator Douglas, of
Illinois, complieate their position still more.
These Office holders are represented to sympa-
thise with Walker and Douglas, and to have
shown in the recent New York election unmis-
takeable evidences Of heterodoxy in regard to
their party.
A great movement Is being made for their
removal, and o number Of aspirants have start
ed up, ready to take their places.
We perceive that q meeting Of the democracy
has been called at Tammany to sustain Mr.. Blu
chanans administration against disorganizers
aud traitors, and II l. very likely that this
meeting will be The commencement Of a move
ment that will end in the removal Of these
Office holders, should their political sentiments
remain longer In doubt. We have every reason
70 believe that the question Of their removal on
accouD OF their complications has been warmly
discussed OF Washington, and we have further
reason to believe that If certain declarations on
their part are established the President and his
Cabinet will take off their heads with such
promptness and slill that they will never know
or feel how the job was done.

DANCING FOR THE PooR.-We have heretofore
alluded to the absurdity of getting up grand
expensive entertainments ostensibly FOR the re-
lief of the poor. II is foolish proceeding at
any time, and more particularly 50 just now,
when IL is as much az any one can do to get
money to pay his debts with. A charity ball
which would net two thousand dollars for the
poor, would cost other poor people at least one
hundred thousand dollars II would be much
better 10 give a ball after the fashion Of some
private entertainments which have taken place
at some Of the best houses in the city. Instead
of silks and founces and laccs and satins and

Two MORE New F2xz SYArEs-WHAT SAr
THE FRH-EArxRs while the Southern fire
eaters have kept the whole South in state
ferment about the terrible danger Of admitting
Kansas as free State, two other free States
have been duly and quietly organized, and arc
waiting now the simple Formally OF Congress
sional act Of admission into the Union. These
two States are Minnesota and Oregon-thc one
at the sources Of the Mississippi the other at
coast. The former is already n populous and
highly prosperous State; and the latter, pOe-
seseed of a solid and substantial body Of people.
is destined to dispute with California the en-
pire of the Pacifc-two new free States! And
Oregon has so little taste for niggers that even
free niggers are excluded from her borders.
The question arises, therefore, of what value
would Kansas be to the South as balance Of
power, even if admitted with South Carolina
constitution-what value, we say, with these
Northern offsets of Minnesota and Oregon, and
with Nebraska and Washington Territories close
behind!
The fact is, Kansas or no Kansas, this idea Of
Senatorial Southern balance Of power il Con-
gress is can obsolete idea" it is balance
which .--tN.
Is gone-forever gone.
Nor is there any help for it. With Cuba in
our possession, we might divide it into two
new slave States but then we havnt got Cuba,
and there is no telling when we shall get it.
Texas may he cut up into two or three
States; but the chances are more than equal
that one or two Of the new ones would be free
States-for in Western Texas there are very
few niggers, and some populous German settle
ments of men who are dyed in the wool against
slave labor. Arizona, as a new Southern Ter
ritory, is a perfect humbug; and from New
Mexico, as Mr.. Webster said niggers have been
excluded by the will of God. And so the game
is up with Mr.. Calhoun's idea of balance of
Southern power in the Senate; for Kansas or
no Kansas, the North henceforth must BIO
predominant in both branches of Congress,
and every year more and more so; and
as for Kansas itself-admit it as slave State,
in six months thereafter it will be a free State.
How absurd, then, is all this rant and cant aud
clamor between Northern dirt-eaters and South
ern fre-eaters about niggers in Kansas! What
say the dirteaters what say the fire-eaterss

Who IS TO BE MAYOR NEXT YEARs-There are
some speculations aAoat as to who will be the
incumbent Of the Mayoralty next year. 1t is
not known exactly what course Mayor Wood
will pursue, although it is the opinion of some
of the best constitutional lawyers that he has an
ndefeasable right to hold his Office for the whole
term for which he was elected-which term en-
braces the years 1857 and 1858. This circum-
stance exercises the logical powers of his friends
and enemies to an extraordinary degree, but it
is more than probable that Mayor Wood will be
glad to retire from his onerous official duties on
New Years day. Meanwhile the three or four
clques who claim to own Mr.. Tiemann are
crowding and pushing and jostling and growl-
ing and tearing one another to pieces in the
struggle about the proprietorshp of the new
Mayor. Mr.. Tiemann, whose qualities as
paint manufacturer we have already brought
before the public to the extent of very large
bill yet unpaid, is also, as we have as
certained, in all that appertains to
city matters, quite respectable man,
and he may yet find favor in our sight. We I'M
derstand that, having some of the old Dutch
knlckeIDOCktT DlOOu III ulb Wills, AC uoo SlNS Gil
the go by to all the cliqdes, and has determined
to be master of his own position. One OF his first
official acts, we hear, will be to Gust both of the
quarrelling Street Commissioners-Devlin and
Conover-by virtue Of his power under the new
charter We should not be surprised TO find
the new man for this place in the person of Mr..
Pettigrew, who has filed the position of Alder
man. and is wthal solid business man. The
new Mayor, it is said, will in like manner turn
out all the present heads of departments autho-
rized by the charter, and make his appointments
from men of business, personally known to him
to be competent and honest.
If such surmises are verified by the facts in
the case, we shall not be at all surprised if the
new Mayor-the excellent paint manufacturer
of Manhattanville-mayh have to consider the
HERALD as his especial organ, to the exclusion
of the other journals, who are tearing each
other to pieces in their endeavors to get hold of
him.

diamonds, let the Ladies' oil appear dressed in
tasteful, well made robes Of some cheap, sub
stantial stuffs, and the gentlemen observe like
degree of simplicity in their costume. Then let
there be some simple refreshment, with plenty
Of dancing and give all the receipts to the
poor. The ladies would find that they are
equally captivating perhaps more 50. When
simply dressed, all the really pretty ones will
look great deal prettier, and the novelty Of
the affair would make it both interesting and
successful. 1t appears to us that by this means
much more money could be obtained for the
really poor people, while those who are COM
paratively poor will not be distressed with the
idea that they may be eclipsed by their neigh
bors. The expensive charity balls are gotten
up by people who desire to exploit themselves,
aud perhaps force themselves in public upon
people who will not notice them in any other
manner.
