| THE PLUG UGLIEs.
Eastern exchanges TEEN with details of the
late election riots in Washington. 1t seems
a matter of general rejoicing that the Plug
Uglies got some very ugly plugs, in the de-
lightful to the plug-muss which they got up
for their peculiar delectations. The Wash
ington Star vindicates the conduct of the
Mayor and extols the President for his
promptitude in calling out the Marines. 1t
likewise confirms the telegraphic statement
that no orders were given "to fire." On the
contrary, every effort was made by their of
fieers to restrain them. but the CALLING fire of
the Plug Uglies provoked them beyond endu
rance. and they returned the leaden salute in
like metal and with deadly havoc. The Star
also takes occasion to remark the significant
fact that the Marines were "raw-recruits" of
three days standing, and mostly ''natives,"
!. who, at the word, charged the enemy's
! swivel, on a full run as the match was about
: being applied. The moment before, q rioter
stood with lighted torch ready to deal de-
struetion upon the Marines, when General
: Henderson deliberately placed his body before
. the muzzle of the piece, and warned the vii
lains that the Marines ''guns were loaded
. with powder and ball, and that the conse-
, quences to the rioters would be direful if
: they persisted in discharging their swivel"
i After the fatal vollcy fred by the Marines,
the pluck of the Plug Uglies oozed out at
their fingers ends, and they speedily vam-
. osed. The President applied the only
true remedy to allay blood-thirsty mob. 1t
is desperate remedy but the disease is des-
perato. Let it be understood that law will
be enforced in every instance, and mob
= spirit. which of late has grown SO prevalent
Will be quelled.
GOTHAM.
Z The municipal controversy in New York
= is still sustained. The Metropolitan Pres.
is exhausting the topic in acrimonious de-
70 bate. The Herald is engaged in an interest
~ ing melee with the white-hatted philosopher
u of the Tribune. They throw mud and slusf
&c alternately, and manifest their usual skill in
that peculiar to them-accomplishment
Comptroller Flagg expects to settle the whole
controversy for the present by withholding
" supplies from Mayor Woods police-a very
effcacious mode to stifc struggling polite
ians.
81 CAPT. DAVIS AND THE GREAT FILLIBUsTER.
~ The President approves the course pursued
Il by Capt. Davis, in extricating Walker ant
~ the illibuster party from their dilemma, bu
condemns the instructions of the late Adj
lf ministration under which he acted. Capt
ID. may well say, "under which King, Bezo-
10 Miami" General Walker, it is said, also tele
a graphs to Washington, "confdentially," tina
; he will soon return to Nicaragua with 800,
b. troops.
AMERICAN EAST INDIAN TRADE.
no The Cabinet are discussing a proposition t,
protect American trade with the East Indi:
n Islands. The last Congress made an appro
no priation to open this trade and authorize,
n the sending of Il commercial agent to Dor
rt neo. It is said numerous American ship
ev are awaiting upon the deliberations of tn
y Cabinet, and will sail for the East Indies il
es the event of favorable decision. New field
m of commerce must, in some manner, D
eir opened to our mercantile marine, rs it is SAT
tv fering seriously under trade stagnation.
III THE GREEN COUNTY CASE.
n;r AL excitement relative to the late confliC
- between the Federal and State officers i
los Green county has subsided-at least tempo
MT rarIly. 1t is conceded that the State officer
in transcribed their authority and violated tina
he of Uncle Sam. They will be adjudged &C
en cordingly.
an Some doubts yet exist respecting the me-
ed American morning paper in this city allude
he to in my last. Old stagers are not likely I
he risk without ample capital being paid in, an
ST no great number can be found to ''pint" aC
nm eording to the necessity of the case. Any
la. body that would attempt morning papt
ON here under $50 900 cash, would be deemed
in those posted, worthy of place in Lunat
raj Asylum. The four Daily papers now in eS
fill istence are prosperous, but it has require
Use years of labor and vicissi.ude to mai

Ike Strawberries appeared to-day in our MAJ
