thought, the client came to the sensible deter
mnation that this sort of thing would never
pay expenses, and so he too, has walked Off with
his papers.
And yet another very remarkable late libel
suit against the HERALD proprietor, initiated
and now uader a reconsideration, deserves a
passing notice. We allude to the case of
Signor Wesley, the principal proprietor and
stockjobber Of the daily Times lie had been
leading financier among the bulls If Wall
street, but in the course of few short weeks,
from the pressure of the late searching collapse,
he broke down under immense losses, and with
drew from the field to repair damages. To
this end, his first movement was for repara-
ton Of the mischief inflicted upon his stock
jobbing operations by the HERALD; and his case
reminds US of that of Signor Fry, who, failing
in his operate experiments, charged all his
damages to the account of this Office. The
modesty of this proceeding on the part of
Signor Wesley, makes it case worthy an
embalming; but even he since the election Of
Mr.. Tiemann, and the consequent dawning of
little millennium, appears to be coming round.
Well, the world wags on, and he that will may
grow wiser from experience

tons. Where these are pushed beyond the
limits Of reason and prudence, the result must
be disorder and an ultimate breakdown.
In this country we are gradually recovering
from the effects Of our imprudences, and are
emerging from our troubles considerably less
damaged and frightened than the people of
Europe are likely to be. We have learned
much from the last twenty years experience;
we have rich and fertile country, and may re-
cuperate after our sufferings under proper
management, in a year or lees. But Europe
in all its rami6cations, from the governments
down to the smallest institutions, from the noble
to the peasant has yet to pass through one Of
the most tremendous revulsions that the world
has ever seen. Railroads, steam navigation
and telegraphs, az they have been the principal
instruments Of the expansion, will probably
serve to give greater intensity to the crisis
AS they constitute, on the other hand, the ele-
ments Of prosperity, they may help to post
pone for time the impending confusion and
ruin. Of these results time alone will enable
us to form correct opinion. In the meanwhile
we must resign ourselves for the next six months
to see the legislative bodies Of this country and
of Europe discussing, debating and twisting
into vague uncertainties the eternal subject of
currency and banking, their conclusions leav-
ing us just as wise and as practically helpless
as before

THE Hos. Mn. TmNaSN AND Hrs ELECTION
The Hon. Booby Brooks after pondering over
the mysteries Of our late municipal contest
gravely comes to the conclusion that the
support of the NEW York HERALD operated more
actively to the defeat Of Mayor Wood than any
other cause. This is but the opinion Of a BOBBY;
and yet there may be something in it. II is an
admission, any way, that the HERALD exerts a
controlling influence over the public mind.
We have an admission Of this sort from Mr..
Tiemann himself, for IL appears that in speech
upon his election after stating that the HERALD
had published him as an excellent paint manu-
facturcr, he thanked us very much for the puff,
hoping, at the same time, that he would prove
to be as good Mayor as he is paint maker
He stated also, that his partners in business
considered our notices ofhmsclf as very valu-
able series of advertisements, for which they
felt themselves indebted to the HERALD. Very
good: but we should feel obliged to Mr.. Tiemann
Il Co. II they would make up their bill of in
dcbtedness in this matter, and depo sit the
amount TO our credit in the Chemical Bank, or
with our office cashier. Our object In tbs sug-
gestion IL good one, for we shall appropriate
the money to some of the numerous charitable
Institutions Of the city, which will require all
the contributions they can raise TO help them
through the winter What says Mr.. Tiemann'

LrBErs AND LIBEL Substituting the last few
months some half dozen or more libel suits
have been instituted against the HERALD rang
ing from five to fifty thousand dollars damages;
but at this moment there Is scarcely one Of
them left upon the docket. The Michigan
Southern Railroad Company, at the commence
ment of the revulsion, considered themselves 30
deeply damaged by the exposures of this jour
nal Of their financial operations, that nothing
less than two or three libel prosecutions would
satisfy their. wounded honor. But with (" the
sober second thought they have wisely con
cluded to drop, cry quits, and pay their own
costs. Next, the managers Of one of the Western
banks, offended at description in our paper of
certain counterfeit notes upon their infaliblc
institution, resolved upon prosecution for libel.
made fools Of Themselves backed out, and paid
their COST.
But the most remarkable, and about the most
impudent Of all libel suits, in this or any other
country under the sun, was that projected
against the HERALD by that pink of chastity
and perfection, the Right Hon. Gardner Furniss,
Eeq. This celebrity IL appears, was induced to
this step by a young lawyer Of this city, who
"has a brother" we believe, Of the well known
name Of Patrick Hearne but upon second

THE DEMOCRACY AND IT'S CILQuEs.-The de-
mocracy are cut up into various factions and
cliques, North and South; but the most prom-
dirt-eaters of the North. When Mr.. Buchanan
set himself to work 10 pick out the members of
his Cabinet from the mass of patriotic gentle
men that were ready to serve him at the low
figure of eight thousand year, the Southern
fire-eaters made a set to have one Robert J..
Walker appointed Premier
"Old Buck" however, couldn't stand that;
but by way Of satisfactory compromise, he
made Mr.. Walker Governor of Kansas, that
graveyard of Governors" and thought that
in this act he had done good turn for the fire
eaters. But to the establishment of all reasona-
bic men. these fire-eating chaps forthwith COM
menced hue and cry of abuse against poor
Walker, almost as bad as their abuse Of Ere
mont, and from that day to this they have been
beaboring Walker, and the President, over the
shoulders Of Walker, as no unfortunate Cover
nor Of Kansas was ever belaborcd before. And
what is the result? They have abused, villified
and exasperated Walker until they have made
him their enemy; and now, aided by Senator
Douglas and many Of the leading democratic
journals of the North, Walker is not only in the
field against these Southern firc-caters, but he
is with the Northern dirt-eaters against the adj
ministraton.
Thus the violence Of these Southern flre-eat-
ers has operated to break up the Northern de-
mocracy and to throw their balance of power
ID. ~.
fierce extremes Of fire-eaters and dirt-eatcrs
stands the administration; and we suspect that
"Old Buck" will stand the storm like n rock,
and resist the waves of faction and discord from
every side. The fur will begin to fly among the
factions in Congress with the reading OF the
Presidents message.
