HE FAILURE OF News FROM NICARAGUA
Inc New York Courier and Euquiysy TINS
satisfactorily accounts for the failure to receive
news from Walker by the last arrival of q Cali.
fornia steamer:
The failure to receive any information of tho
late OF walker by the last arrival from the Ixth
mus, Is easily accounted for. The Transit ronte
through Nicaragua has been closed since the
month OF February. San Juan del Sur is occu.
ped by detachment of the allied army. No
cailiornla steamer stops at any port in Central
America The only means Of regular communi-
Gallon with the coast north Of Panama is by a
monthly steamer, whose last arrival, previous to
the adyices which came to hand Yesterday was

No local election since that Of Pennsylvania
Of October last has attracted a more general
interest, or has had "A more significant meaning
than the recent municipal contest In this city
We perceive that most of the opposition jour
mails, far and near, consider the result an omi-
nous democratic defeat, and that many Of the
most sensible democratic papers, North and
South. regard IL in the came light We too,
consider this the true view Of the case, and that
be who il consoling himself with the idea that
the defeat Of Mayor Wood was the result of a
purely personal issue between him and Mr. Tie
mann is very wide of the mark.
The Tiemaun movement was a combination
of all the odds and ends Of the opposition, and
two or three thousand fishy and disaffected
democrats, to defeat the democratic candidate;
and the result II the defeat Of the democratic
party. Nothing more but nothing less. The
success Of this combination movement, also, on
the part Of the opposition forces, with a de-
mocratic deserter az their standard bearer,
clearly points out their road to certain sue
cess In the Presidential campaign Of 1860.
And what is there TO prevent the consum-
nation of such an alliance throughout
the entire North? We can discover no
serious obstacle from the signs around the poll
tical horizon, but everything to encourage the
movement The first hasty experiment in the
very citadel Of the Northern democracy has
been successful; and why, then, should the par
ties concerned hesitate to apply the same plan
Of operations against all the Northern outworks
OF the dismantled democracy
To those democratic philosophers who are lay
ing the attering JUNCTION to their souls" that this
defeat Of Mayor Wood amounts to nothing, we
would apply question or two. Are they sure
that the party OBJECTIONS arising out of the
Kansas imbroglio have bad nothing to do with
the election Of Mr.. Tiemann? Is not the coin
cidence between the position Of the New York
Hotel clique on the Mayoralty question, and It's
attitude with Governor Walker on the Kansas
question, something more than accidental
Does it not appear to be possible that, taking
these two things together, the defeat of Mayor
Wood may be considered by the official wire
workers Of Robert J. Walker as an important

AID TO THE BANK OF ENGLANp.-Why should
not our banks, which are actually suffering from
plethora of specie, and cannot find employ
ment for the bullion which has accumulated in
their vaults, do something to relieve themselves
and aid the Bank of England ut the present
crisis?
The Bank Of England il unquestionably in an
unpleasant position. 1t has, with the sanction
Of the government overissued notes to the
amount of several millions sterling; one may
imagine the amount Of the drain upon it from
the single fact that two houses alone took from
1t at one time the enormous sum of Gl 200, 900
or $s,500,000 Into this strait IL has been thrust
mainly by her resolution--imposed upon Il no
doubt-to save the Anglo-American houses in
London. The crisis first spread from here !;
here the disease took root; and 1t II houses
whose origin lies here which have placed the
bank in its present false position. Ought not
the remedy TO come from hence?
Our banks could well afford to ship ten mil
lions of specie to the Bank Of England to relieve
the present drain. They can spare the money
WE'LL indeed, certificate of deposit from the
bank would answer them quite as well as specie
They could draw against II, "a circumstances re-
quired; and they might very possibly be the
means Of saving the Bank Of England.
The subject Is deserving the careful conside-
ration not only of our bankers, but of every
man who sets store upon the repute and fame of
New York, and of all who appreciate how ter
rible disaster to commerce the failure or even
the continued embarrassment of the Bank of
England would be.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1857-12-08

still better plan would be for each subscriber
to the ball to give, in lieu Of the price Of .
ticket FIVE dollars for the relief of the poor,
which subscription would net twenty thousand
dollars, without any extravagant expenditure
for new dresses, or flowers, or fripperies of any
kind.
So far, we have treated this matter in purely
statistical light, and have shown it in that light
to be humbug of the purest and most transpa-
rent kind The fact Of the matter is that the
Honorable BOBBY Brooks, and others of the
same set, get up this ball simply to glorify
themselves, and that they are really the poor
people who are to be relieved by it. Poor
enough, they are, too.

THE PRINTING or CoSGREss-A GOVERN
MENT OrTIcE--One Of our morning cotempora-
ries objects to our plan of the establishment of
a government Office for the government print
ing, and on the ground that such an Office
would be but an infirmary for decayed party
hacks in the printing business. But would not
this objection apply as well to every executive
department, and to all the clerkships and every
writing bureau Of the government at Washing
ton Ne to the employees of a government printing
Office? We think IL would. What Is the differ
ence, 30 far "a party hacks may be concerned
between bureau, or several bureaus, employ
ed to do the writing Of the government, and a
bureau to do its printing. But our aforesaid
contemporary thinks that the contract system for
the printing is the thing That system, how
ever. has been tried. Call Mr.. Wendell to the
stand AK him what he contracted to do this
printing for some years ago. and how much
money he subsequently asked for to meet his
deficiencies. Next ask Of any member Of Con-
gress competent to give an answer what sort Of
printing 1t was, and the quality of the paper
and ink used by Wendell, and you will be
by contract The contractor will put his bid at
q very low figure to secure the work, and then,
II the cheapest materials do not save him from
loss, he will apply for bill Of relief, and he
will have the lobby TO push II through.
A government Office lie the only safe plan for
good work at a reasonable cost, and we think
that the time for bold move in this direction
lie near at hand A net profit from this sop of
the public plumber of cool hundred thousand
year IL too much, in these hard times, for any
one party editor or party firm, with 10 many
poor, starving democratic editorial President
makers and makers Of Congressman all over the
country. But the difficulty of dividing these
spoils satisfactorily is almost as great as the
task of dispensing them in the lump. In this
state Of things, when the squabble for these
rich spois shall come to white heat we hope
that some sensible man will be found in Con
gress to put in bill for agovernment Office.
That's all.
