SINGULAR ANNOUScEMENT.-A strip of can
vas. bearing the follo, ing inscription in bold
letters, was affixed, yesterday morning. to
The cornce in front of Eureka Engine Com
pany, No A. Robbed of the Premium by
The Judgery ofthe Bogus Judges of the State
Fair" The fact that Engine Company No.
4 contested at the State Fair for the premium
offered for the best performance of second
cllss engines without success the winning
engine being supplied with cylinders by ano
ther company, may afford some clue to the
object of the above display - Union.
From the above, it seems that the Sacra -
mento tiremen forget, as we'll as the judges
did, what that large premium was offered for.
In the schedule of the Executive Committee
it read: "For the best performance of fire
engine, premium of $4OO will be given. -
1t does notsay which class the engine shall be
in. | take it. that this large amount of mo
ney, the highest prize given, was to induce
parties to improve on the engines now in the
State, and make them do better work The
Warren Engine Company, No. 4. of this city,
are awarded the second prize, for doirg the
ueSb WOEh lnaI nus ever oeen dOne III thl-
State, and the judges give as a reason for not
giving the first prize. that they borrowed
cylinders from Sacramento" This the War
rem Company do not deny. The cylinders
borrowed were 5-s inches diameter The
Company have G and inch cylinders of their
own, and the fact of their borrowing 6 5s
ineh cylinders should never. have ruled them
out from the first prize H.v.F.

GooD.-The Lecomptonites of California
have industriously claimed Douglas as being

scribe the Lecompton party of California:
"The party which can overlook conduct
ike his must have parted with all self-respect,
all power and purpose to preserve its own
integrity, all capacity for present self protec
tion. all expectation ofa successful or honora-

SINeULAR.-We saw. Wednesday, regular
Administration tickets printed with Tracy
name on them for Congress. For some time
this was mystery; tut the explanation Civ
en afterwards was that some of the Admins
iration Democrats had argained with a por
lion Of the Republicans to vote for Tracy ii
they would vote for Bolts Another reason
we heard given for Tracy's name being on
the Lecompton ticket was that the Admins.
tration Democrats were anxious to have Ira
cy beat Dudley in the State. Slch result,
it was thought, would show that the largest
element in the anti-Lecompton party was
Republican, Union.
Our readers will remember that on Wed.
nesday morning, we mentioned a similar pro-
posed effort to make Tracy votes here. We
judge, from the small vote cast for Tracy
acre, that the Administration men refused to
vote for him.

WHY DON'T THEY ATTACK THE LEC0MPTON
CONSTRUCTION anti-Lecompton leaders and
orators in Congress, and the anti-Lecompton Or
gans and stumpers outside of Congress, can find
no end to their catalogue of complaints against
the alleged "infamous outrages" upon popular
rights and fraudulent usurpations" of popular
sovereignty, by which the Lecomptou constitu-
ton was framed and ratified. But we hear very
little said against that constitution itself; and
for the very good reason that, excepting the
slavery article and the clause relating to free
negroes the most fanatical black republican can
find nothing Objectionable in the said constitu-
ton. Apart from the niger question, old
Joshua r. Giddings himself must confess that it
is fair equitable and liberal republican con-
stitution, quite as much so as the Topeka model
of popular sovereignty Butwhat practical OBJ
lection can be made to this Lecompton docu-
ment in regard to negroes, when, from the day
Of the admission of Kansas under it, the people
Of the new State will be cleft perfectly free to
regulate their domestic institutions in their own
way" So long as Kansas remains Territory,

The Lecompton constitution is an act of grace
which the intractable ragamufins of Kansas do
not deserve. But let it be passed, and let them
have chance to govern themselves, If; they can.

SUPERINTENDENT COOK BEFORE THE BRITISH
PrBrIc.-The English papers are copying and
commenting upon Superintendent Cooks annual
report from the banking department Of this
State We give elsewhere the views Of the
London Tines on the document, from which il
will be seen that the English journalist prefers
the Superintendent theories TO his grammar.
The London Tme seems TO concur with him in
thinking that IL might be possible to frame q
banking system under which the banks would
be forced to keep twenty per cent Of their liabil
ties in coin, and might yet do a profitable bust
ness In this view very few persons are likely
to coincide; though determined effort to pass
Law with such an aim may very likely be
made in more than one Legislature. II might
pay well TO menace the rich banks with such
statute.

PREPARE FOR THE OPERA-The energetic

up his season in Baltimore and Philadelphia,
opens with all his old force and some additions,

this season, which will end about the first of
April, will close the operate campaign in this
city for the present, and the fashionable world
should put forth all its efforts to make it bril-
liant finale. 1t might be supposed that under
ordinary circumstances some of the more select
of the opera goers would object to appearing in
their seats during the season of Lent, but recent
Developments 60 to prove that in the Fifth
avenue they keep Lent all the year round and

butchers bills, and lay out the money in dry
goods and opera tickets.

TIE UNITED STATES SENATORS FROM KAN
sAs.-Aecording TO the latest pronuncidmiento
from the immortal John Calhoun, the organic
State Legislature Of Kansas will be in the
hands of the free State party. In this event,
the first result from the admission of Kansas
under the Lecompton constitution will most
probably be the presentation to the United
States Senate Of the credentials Of General Jim
Lane and Governor Robinson as the duly elected
members Of that body from the State Of Kansas
What a commentary will this be upon the pre-
sent hue and cry against the administration
for "selling the cause of freedom in Kansas to
the slave powerl" On the other hand, what
better proof could be demanded Of the self
sacrificing and patriotic labors of John Calhoun
in behalf of popular sovereignty" than the
election of Lane and Robinson to the Senate
under his Lecompton programme? Yet this is
the man denounced as a traitor and vagabond
by all the anti-slsvery agitators in and out of
Kansas, when, in truth, he has done more to
make Kansas q free State than all the ships
crew Of them put together. Pass Lecompton,
and let General Lane take his seat next to Mr.
Douglas

after houses which, when he found them, we're
far above bis means. Ifevery advertiser would
state where bis house stands, what size IL il,

TIN CHEvAIJER WEBB In RAGE.-The Che
Waller Webb of the Courier, after outstanding
his strength for several days, has come out with
a tremendous manifesto, in his loftiest Bonn
bastes Furioso style, against Mr. Buchanan.
Starting out upon an extract from the late anti
Lecompton speech of the Rev. George Bancroft
as his text, the Chevalier Webb proceeds to in
quire what can be the matter with James Blu
cnanan. The Chevalier tells us that the gene
prove to be wise and discreet President; but,
alas after assuring that he has fallen below the
dead level Of poor Pierce the Chevalier pain
fully inquiries, "Is he mad? Is he crazy? Is be
fool: Is he knave?'
Then the Chevalier proceeds to show that
this hard headed President mast be both fool
and knave, and then that it is impossible that
he can be either knave or q fool. And why?
Because our immortal Chevalier, who has cross
ed his legs under the tables Of so many distn-
guished people, has, from his personal associa-
tions with Mr.. Buchanan, formed "a high esti-
mate Of his gentlemanly instincts aud his social
qualities, his requirements and his unquestiona-
BILE talents" But in the very next breath all
this is upset; for the Chevalier fatty declares
that this same admirable man " has
proved faithless to his most solemn pledges,
faithless to his character as a gentle
man, faithless to the democratic party, faithless
to the platform of the Cincinnati Convention
faithless to the people who confded in his per-
sonal honor, faithless to liberty, to the princi
Piles Of our constitution and to james Bucha-
man," This is certainly equivalent to de-
nouncing him as cheat, an impostor, liar
a fool, and knave. But in the very next SEN
tence we are told that "a fool, he assuredly is
not" and that "a knave would be too cunning
thus to expose himself to the contempt of man
kind, and that it follows that Buchanan is
either monomaniac, mailman, or an imbe-
cile" Upon this cloudy conclusion, with tears
In his eyes and with his hands npon his "maho.
gany stocked pistols the Chevalier Webb ex-
claims-"in charity. then, let us look upon his
afliction as it is and spare the man in conside-
ration Of the hand that has dealt the blow
All this is but a sample Of the malignant and
scurrilous, bur foolish, denunciations that are
heaped upon the head Of Mr.. Buchanan by our
black republican contemporaries, on account of
bis inflexible adhesion to the Lecompton consti-
tuition. We have had nothing to compare with
this fierce and savage, but impotent hostility to
the President and his policy, since the time of
Gen. Jackson: but we would admonish the Che
Waller Webb. and all concerned, that from the
violent course Of vulgar and contradictory abuse
they are now pursuing, they are in fair way
TO make as great hero of "Old Buck" as they
did Of "Old Hickory

From the above it seems that Mr.. Peabody was
weaker than people supposed. as he was obliged to
get individual endorsements as we'll as to Aeposit
securities as collateral for the advances he got
from the bank 1t also appears that notwith-
standing the revival in the money market, these
loans from the bank have not yet been repaid
that the debt has simply been extended.
Whether disclosures of this kind are calcu-
lated to help Mr.. Peabody's credit is of course
o matter of which he lie the best Judge. An
outside observer can only look on, and wonder
1t may now be sanguinely hoped-since Mr..
Peabody has taken to letter writing that he
will not aoandon the practice until he has ex-
planned the singular delusion under which he
labored throughout the summer and fall of last
year, and under the influence of which he went
about, both in this country and in England, till
the very verge of the revulsion, proclaiming
that there was no trouble ahead that every
thing was going on right, that the banks were
doing right to expand, that the railways were
doing right in 6nanciering as they did, and
that the prospect was serene and highly ia
vorable.
