A CHANCE FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARrY.-The
regent of the republican party, Thurlow Weed,
has everything his own way in this State, after
the first of January ensuing. He has put In his
own Governor, and has, for once, a strong work
ing majority in both branches of the Legislature.
Of course, having such tools to work with, Weed
does not intend to leave the city alone. We
shall have plenty of special legislation; and we
do not complain of the prospect, provided it
gives us simpler and stronger form of munich
pal government. The present system has been
found dead failure; no party desires to perpe-
tuate it, and it should be swept away altogether.
With chief magistrate to be elected for at least
four years, and girded with powers as well as
burdened with responsibilities, and rcorganiza-
ton Of the departments so that the officials Of
them shall be responsible to the Mayor, and strict
overhauling ofthe Finance Department, we might
have some hopes for better days. II Thurlow
Weed or any one else will give Us this, we shall
all be duly grateful, and the party SO doing win
be morally certain Of a long lease Of political
power. II is splendid chance TO do fine thing
and have fine reward for it,

The News.

The steamship Pacific arrived at St Johns, y. f.,
Yesterday from Galway. She brings London and
Liverpool dates to the 9th instant, five
lays later than those previously received.
The news is interesting. The application of the
Atlantic Telegraph Company for financial aid from
the British government soon to be acted upon
and it was thought the sum required would be
granted. The Liverpool cotton market had been
dull, and decline of onc-eighth to onesixteenth
of penny had taken place. Breadstuffs were also
dull at nominal rates. Consols, at London, on the
Sth, were quoted at 97I 9s for money and at noon
on the 9th consols for account closed at 963 96E
xdyidend. The political intelligence by this arrival
is unmportant. The Queen of Spain in her speech
at the Cortes, took firm stand with reference to
the difficulty between Spain and Mexico; but recent
events at Tampco have put at rest for the present
at least the dispute which occasioned her remarks.
by way Of the Tehuantepec route we have news
from San Francisco to the 9th inst The general
intelligence is unimportant. Money was easy.
mining about usual, business quiet and politics
dull. The steamship Hermann arrived on the 9th
ult. There had been two arrivals from London and
one from Liverpool, hut none from the Atlantic
ports Of the United States. The Golden Gate
which left San Francisco for Panama on the 9th
inst took a million and half in treasure for New
York

WISE AND DouaIAs.--From the earnestness
with which the Richmond Enquirer had opposed
The prctcnsons Of John I.ctchcr M the democratic
candidate for Cow rnor of Virginia, the nomina-
ton Of that gentleman together with the fail
IRE of the resolution introduced in the State Con-
vcnton by Mr., O. J. Wise, endorsing the late
Illinois victory of Mr.. Douglas) has been gene
rally accepted as a significant Presidential defeat
OF Governor Wise by the rival Hunter faction Of
the Virginia democracy. This construction Of
the case. however, as we are assured, from an
impartial and well informed source is a mistake,
and that there was no issue in the Convention
between Wise and Hunter. 1t further appears,
that SO far DO the friends of Gov. Wise consider
his Presidential prospects from having suffered
any damage in the late Virginia Convention,
they believe he has the State secured for 1860
against all contestants her first choice for the
Presidency.
We also understand that very strong i'm
preston prevails among the Wise democracy Of
Virginia that Mr.. Douglas will give way to
Wise in 1860 In this connection we are remind
cd OF late rumor that Mr.. Douglas, on his return
declining himself to be candidate for the sue
cession, and recommending the reciprocity policy
to the democracy, Of Southern man for 1860,
in consideration of the fact that the last two
democratic candidates were taken from the
North. Accordingly, should Mr.. Douglas issue
the circular indicated, we shall be qualified at
once to comprehend his recommendation of a
Southern man. The recommendation will be
simply equivalent to the formal announcement
of an alliance, offensive and defensive, on the
part of Douglas and his followers, in behalf of
Governor Wise in the Charleston Convention
This coalition, should it be conirmed may
give some trouble to the hackers of Hunter,
Slidell, Jefferson Davis, Cobb, Breckenridge, and
other Southern aspirants for the democratic
nomination.; for if Wise can carry to Charleston
the Virginia delegation, and few scattering
delegates from other Southern States, and if
Douglas can carry down the Illinois delegation
and some scattering votes from other States Of
the West and North, Wise aud Douglas combined
may possibly be able to hold the balance of
power, under the two-thirds rule, to the end of
the chapter. And as the Presidential prospects
of Mr.. Douglas have become exceedingly dark
since the meeting Of Congress, we should not be
surprised if he were to take the position of an
aid-de-camp of Governor Wise. Where is Mr..
Douglas?

ENLARGEMENT or THE CENTRAL PARK-The
purchase Of that portion Of ground extending
from IO6th to 10th street, north of the original
boundary of the Central Park, having been
asked for by the Commissioners, the Board Of
Aldermen, at their last session, approved OF the
idea to make application to the Legislature for
a commission TO purchase that slip of land and
annex IL to the Park. This is as il should be.
That portion Of the ground comprises most pic
turcsque ravinc and affords some Of the finest
rock scenery in the whole vicinity. Besides, It's
enclosure within the Park limits will enable the
Commissioners to carry out the plan Of making a
grand northern entrance TO the city through the
Park, by extending and widening Seventh ave
me from 10th street northwards. This sugges-
ton also meets the approval Of the Board Of
Aldermen, and If il is carried out will give US a
magnificent approach to the city, for which there
is no superior in the world. The land recon-
monded TO be added TO the area of the Park Is
wholly worthless for any other purpose, for the
cost Of grading IL would far exceed lis value
under the most favorable circumstances. Nature
designed that IL should form portion OF the
Park. by excluding il a beautiful piece of the
landscape is cut in two, and the boundary of the
Park grounds located on the cres: Of a high hill
with no possible approach TO the level Of llOth
street
The Improvement Of the streets and avenues
in the vicinity of the Park, recommended by the
Commissioners, also meets with the appreciation
Of the Aldermen, and permission is granted 10
use the earth from Hamilton square for that
purpose, which will undoubtedly prove very
economical arrangement. II is absolutely neces-
sary, in order TO render the Central Park avail
able, that these improvements should be at once
proceeded with. AT present there is no proper
approach to IL Fifth avenue Is in shocking con-
dition, and Eighth avenue Is almost impossible

GEORGE n. SANDERS AND Hrs DrySERs.-
The everlasting George n. Sanders, Navy Agent
Of this city. has been giving sort oflove feast to
the harmonized New York democracy, At Wash
ington. Sanders Is political philosopher OF
the carnivorous tribe. There was, many years
ago, an English minister who acted upon the
fundamental principle that every man had bis
price: but Sanders takes shorter cut, aud opc-
rates a. mover ofcabincts, parties conventions
and dynasties upon the infalliblc dogma that
every man has stomach. Walpolc bought up
bis men like merchandise. Sanders feeds them
like pigs Money was the infallble specific in
the one case, while good dinner is the alpha
and omega in the other. Let us cite few OF
these notable dinners Of Sanders.
Ills campaign of 1852, against the "old fogies"
was commenced with dining and winning caucuses
in New York, and then, with the nomination Of
poor Pierce, our eating philosopher went eating
his way among the democracy, all the way up to
Concord and back. Sent over as Consul TO Lon
don, we next find Sanders involved In a Red
Republican Continental revolution, inaugu-
rated in the Disguise Of dinner to
the revolutionary refugees in London. Re
called, however, by the cold fogics" Of the
Senate this grand scheme of eating and drink
ing up the despots Of Europe was cat short, we
think at the third dinner. In the campaign Of
1885, keeping safely to the windward we find
our faithful disciple Of Soyer (the renowned
French cook Of the Crimean allied army work

vices have made him known to the country, and
who has the energy to act and with him a
Congress that will act. General Scott has
said that an energetic President, with
patriotic and working Congress to
back him, could, by giving to the
executive branch Of the government promptitude
and efficiency, reduce our national expenses in
two years to forty millions of dollars. 1t is such
a change as this that the people are called upon
to make for the course which the present Con-
gross is pursuing is one that always leads to des
potiah. Like our own, the members Of the last
National Assembly of France FILTERED away their
time and reputation until the people were re-
joced to have Louis Napoleon step in and over
throw them. So. too, with the elder Napoleon
and the First National Assembly. 1t was their
abandonment Of public affairs aud constant per-
sonal wrangles that opened the way for the En-
pire. We must have revolution in the charac-
ter Of Congress, or its present state will iney-
tably lead to revolution in our political insti-
tutions.

We publish in another part Of this mornings
HERALD a letter from AL American citizen,
named Alexander Robinson, who writes 10 us
from a prison in Callao, in which he has been

and where he has been treated with the greatest
inhumanity. II appears that he and two Of the

This Is the second case of Imprisonment of

who has been imprisoned for years in the
