20 Tho influence of newspaper upon
the reputation OF a town abroad, is greater
than most citizens are aware. The Hendcr-
son Commercial, with truth, says, a newspa-
per is always taken as an index of the place
where it is published. If you see paper
small. dirty and badly printed, you are sure
to consider the town where it is printed
small place and of but little in portance;
but if, on the contrary, the paper presents
neat and good appearance, and is edited with
talent and vigor, the business of the place
will be presumed to be active, its population
enterprising and intelligent. The moral and
intellectual character of the place will be
Judged by the taste and intelligence that
presides over its journals; and it's business
will be judged by the displays it,mal4S in the
advertising columns. Newspapers are pub.
lie institutions, in which every citizen has a
concern and ought to take pride.

" The injury to the corn by the
early fros:s of November and the SUISSE
quent rains, has been very serious
throughout all the midland and northern
counties Of the State. On the upper
Wabash the damage extends to largepart
of the crop. The injured corn serves to
feedstock, and to increase the quantity OF
beef and pork that will be thrown upon
the market. The price of corn will be
affected by the disaster, and the value Of
wheat and -four will be raised in the re-
gions where the corn has been rendered
unfit fo- food.

Uy The removal OF John McKeon,
District Attorney of New York, has ex-
cited good deal Of discussion at Wash
ington in Democratic circles (; and the re-
fusal of the Senate to confirm the nomi-
nation Of his successor, MIR. Sedgewick,
IS reported by the telegraph yesterday,
indicates q strong dissapproval, by the
Senate, Of the executive act. No sympa-
thy is felt for McKeon, W no has been in
lucrative offices all his life. But the
principle involved in the case is very gen.
erally condemned by all considerate and
intelligent Democrats-the fear begin
entertained that the President, in thus
interfering in local town politics. may
commit the same unfortunate errors that
his predecessor did, by which the hard
shell REBEL on in 1853 became embalmed
and consecrated in the affections of the
Independent democracy oil n. York, and
came near defeating the party IN the last
Presidential election.

@ The confirmation Of Mr.. Clifford
of Maine, for a seat on the Supreme
Bench, hangs in the Senate, with some
fears that he may be rejected for incom-
potency. The opposition to the appoint
ment arises from no political feelings;
the objection is purely personal. 1t has
been stated upon good evidence that in
his profession be ranks as second rate at
the bar of his own county down in
Maine. He owes his nomination to the
personal partiality Of Mr.. Buchanan. and
though a majority OF the Senators are
DESTROYS of gratifying the President,
they cannot consent to place an inferior
county court lawyer upon the Bench oil
the U. s. Supreme Court. We appre-
bend, however. that executive influence
will secure . confirmation, and another
step in the decline of that once angus,
tribunal. will be effected by political ia.
voritism.

THE KANSAS DEBATE.

The public will have read with some
interest, the account given in our tele
graphic dispatches yesterday, OF the
assault, which Graham n. Fitch with
more self assurance than wisdom or pru-
dence, ventured to make on Senator
Douglas, and the uncomfortable discom-
future which the assailant suffered in the
unequal conflict. His vanity blinded
him to Bgler's fate. The latter was
overthrown but recovered and returned
to the assault, but Fitch was annihilated.
The only significance the occurrence
has, is the evidence it affords Of the pc
sition in this great struggle for popular
rights, of the bogus Senators from this
State, md Of their appendages in the
State delegation in the House. Fitch is
but the mouth piece of Bright, who
would not venture to maintain debate
with the weakest man upon the floor.
He puts forwvrd Fitch whose overween.
ing assurance would lead him to pitch
into" giant as soon as pigmy reck-
less Of the consequences. The future
position Of Bright and Fitch depend up
on the fulfilment Of Certain pledges tc
their personal adherents in this State
and those Obligations can only be can
eelled by Executive appointments, whlcl
are obtainable only by the most entir
subserviency to the Executive will, will
pledge for the good conduct of thei
part zans in the House. In this wa
the political influence Ct Indiana has bee
bartered to the Executive for few Fed
eral Offices, by two sham Senators, VIII
venture to oppose almost the unanimou
voice oil the Democratic party in th
State, hoping they may yet silence it, {
divert it, as they have done often beior
by political triekery and caucus manag
ment.
Our readers will notice the remark
of Mr.. Broderick from California on Il
Kansas question.

PoLITIcs IN WAsHINGToN.--Goy
Walkers resignation. and the letter en-
bodying it have been received and filed,
after some hesitation, in the State De-
partment. A Cabinet council Was held
upon the subject, and at first it was adj
vlsed that the letter be passed over in
silence, but after more mature conside-
ration, Secretary Cass was directed to
draw up State paper in reply which,
il is said he has already done, and it
will be given to the country at an early
day.
The letter Of resignation from Mr..
MasoD, Minister to France-msntioned
in our telegraph-makes some disclo-
sures Of bargain and political arrange
ments for office and bad faith that must
be exceedingly Notifying and annoying
to Mr.. Buchanan. The simultaneous
assault Of Mason, with the rupture o.
the New York Democracy-the breach
with Gov. Walker and Secretary Stan
ton-the conflict with Douglas and hi:
sdherents, and the practical dIfficulue:

ordinary affairs of the Government, mu.

GRETNA.

Gretna mot Gretna Green famous for runa-
way matches) is situated above Algiers, OPP
posite this city. Well. what I'm going to
say about this place is, that recently there
was quite an excitement got up over thcre by
a spiritual revival in the public school house.
Gretna is a hard place--it may be considered
about half way between California and civil
ization. 1t is hoped tho revival will purify
the moral atmosphere of the place.
THE NEW CUSTOM HOUSE.
The exterior of this stupendous building
appears about the same as it did four OF Ave.
years ago. I understand tina. about one,
hundred hands have been and:ats constantly
employed on the building, but for five years
past most of the labor has been done on the
interior. The hands have been for long
time and are still working on the collectors
office, in the center OF the building; the office
is of enormous proportions, and its walls are
of solid marble. 1t is thought the Custom
House will not BIO completed in less than five
years, and its cost will not fall short of S5,-
100000. think such an enormous outlay
here for a Custom House is u useless and cx-
travagant VASE of money. One-tenth that
amount ought to have been sufficient.
A new Presbyterian Church, fronting on
Lafayette Square. has recently been compile
ted. 1t is one of the finest in the city, and i,
was nuilt at cost of upwards of 500, O0o.-
1t is quite an ornamena to that portion of the
city. Rev. Mr.. Palmer occupies the pulpit
