PLINDER OF ENIGRANTs.--We perceive by the
report of late case in one of our courts that an
Irish woman mas recovered verdict of more
than thousand dollars against the Commission
ers of Emigration. 1t appears that in coming to
this country she brought with her two trunks and
a chest; in the latter two hundred and forty
soyereigns-the whole of her property. On land
ing, her baggage was taken from her, and checks
given for it in exchange. After some difficulty she
succeeded in obtaining her trunks; but the chest
containing the money was not to be found Even
her check for it was taken from her, and. accord
ing to the evidence. she was seized by the shout
dcrs and thrust out Of the Office when she was
endeavoring to reclaim her effects. She appeal
cd TO an American jury, who did her justice, and
she will receive the money Of which she was de-
priyed. We hope this will be lesson to those
who have the charge Of these unfortunate emf
grants.
1t is really time that these people should have
protection. When they arrive they are crowd
ed into Castle Garden, examined and handed
over to certain parties, who seem to have the
privilege Of humbugging them. IL turned
out, at q recent examination by the legisla-
tive authority. that there was an association
who take these emigrants at so much per head,
or are allowed a commission Of 20 much per
head, and send them over railways with which
they have a contract for their transportation.
We think it time that this state Of things was
put an end TO. The Commissioners of Emigra-
tion had better be in other business than hand
ing over these emigrants to any particular indi-
vidual or railroad IL is time for the owners Of
the Galway line Of steamers to break up this
shameful traffic in human flesh. Let them give
tickets in Ireland to those who come by their
ships which will consign them to the American
Express Company here, and forward them with
out delay to the places Of their destination.
Thus einigrants will have tangible private secu-
rity for the performance Of the contracts they
make in Ireland, and they will be performed
When they arrive they will be taken care Of
rescued from the fangs Of the wolves who lie in
wait to destroy them save time and money, and
have adequate protection to their journeys end.

The Governing Powers OF New York.
In the government of thickly settled commu-
mites, the political machinery always becomes
more or less intermixed with the social charac-
teristics of the governed. Charters constitu-
tons, statutes and ordinances, are simply the
organic bases Of law, and they arc everywhere
perverted by those to whom their execution is
confded. 1t is very much the fashion with us to
preach homilies upon the awful condition Of the
down-trodden millions of Europe. We point
with sigh to the preponderance of the military
power in France, and thank Providence
that our borgeoisie cannot he snubbed by
our standing army, and that our journal
lists are not compelled to fight a whole
regiment in satisfaction for harmless pasqui-
made. Our parsons shed oceans of tears over the
condition ofpriest-ridden Italy, and stern Native
Americans affect colossal degree Of pride in the
fact that we have no peerage like that of Eng
land, and that all class and trade privileges are
unknown in this happy land.
What, then, is the governing power in the me-
tropolis of the Union. Freed from religious or
military or aristocratic despotism, we seem to
nave dtluLueu tnc mSucrl poAtiCal uaPpiAcos.
But such is not the fact We cannot shut our
eyes to the truth, and, therefore. we are begin
ming to acknowledge that our governing power
is the mob; and that is a despotism worse than
that Of Russia France, because it is senseless,
cruel and bloody. Here we have within ten
miles Of the City Hall, population of over a
million Of people, presumed to be eminently
blessed in their political surroundings. The law
guarantees to every citizen the right to choose his
own rulers, as well as protection to life, liberty
and property; that is according to the common
reading of the constitution Of the State and the
charter of the city. But what is the fact! 1t is
that the laws are set at naught-that the power
of the mob is supreme and that this million of
people trembles before few thousand scoundrels
who ought to be in the penitentiary. These pre-
c;ous r,,Iera may no classed as fol1Ows.-

the elective franchise several times. No storm,
however severe, can keep them away from the
polls They form. with the five thousand prosti-
tutes who live in New York-we are indebted
to the Hon. BOBBY Brooks for the latter
piece of statistical information-the PrGtorian
cohort which rules the city Of New York, and
dissipates in all manner of debauchery the inn
posts wrung from the hands Of honest and re-
spectacle labor. II Is in their hands that
the government Of the city really rests, and the
natural consequence is that it is not governed at
all. II is fortunate for US that they are not
united with any one political party They are
generally free hnces, fighting for the faction
that pays the best. Hence we find the followers
of one pugilist ranged under the banners Of
Tammany Hall; another marshals his forces with
the outside democracy; still another clique
swears by Hon. Massa Greeley and the republi-
can party; while the late lamented Poole. with
his last breath, recommended his followers to
adhere steadiastly to the Know Nothing
standard. These men are Of all grades Of ont
ward responsibility, from the dirty emigrani run
ner about the docks to the diSblgue lounger in
Broadway, glorious in purple and fine linen,
broadclcth and diamonds kid and patent leather,
sweet smelling and Of spicy flavor, with nothing
but the vulgar brutality OF the phy-ognomy to
indicate the innate savage malignity--the brand
Of crime which il eternal. II is such men rs
these who bully the voters at primary elections
and who shoot their political opponents, who are
the heroes Of mysterious arrests and the pets Of
amiablc police Justices. They work in the
wards just at this time. and control the nomi-
nations subsequently securing the cleo
ton of their nominees through the indif-
ference Of the respectable classes, who
will not give ten minutes from their bust
ness down town even to save half their annual
tax bills. II the legal and respectable voters Of
tho city of New York could be reused 80 rs to
90 once to the polls and vote for men nominated
by themselves, instead Of those selected Ivy con-
ventions Of pugilists. gamblers and blackguards
Of all sorts. the mobocracy would receive blow
from which II would never recover. As matters
stand now. however there is little hope that our
governing powers for the next year will show
any Improvement upon the past; and that they
will become more insatiate in their demands
and reckless in their profgacy is beyond perad-
venture. There il, however yet time to defeat
them; but it can only be done by hard work
every hour from this time till election day.

with a speech-expecting to hear 8
great deal and hearing SO little. He
was very careful not to commit him
self on any point, and when being
asked if he endorsed the Dred Scott
Decision, he answered in speech o1
half an hour in length, and finished by
saying, ssome parts ofthe decision ]

careful to make no committal.
We would like to notice more ol

Congressman out of such stick.

complaining Of sickness, and We
thought he look a little pale when he
looked around and saw that his a,l.
dience was composed of SIXTY.
FIVE Republicans and TWENTY.
