no matter it is seldom the Devil makes 80 good
bargain rs in this case. The Seneca Falls Re
Neillc relates Ms follows:
Efforts had been made by the editor of the Cou-
rier to procure an American ticket so that he
might print "counterfcits." On Monday, one of
the attaches OF that establishment accostel lad
connected with the Reveie Office, and offered him
50 if he would furnish them with an American
tickct "DeviP' wanted tho ,noney-in fact
thought he would have a ''small-szed spree out
of that $3.50, 900 which was raised by the Repub-
leans to cover deficiencies" and he consented.
Accordingly, being somewhat initiated into the
topographic art, he "set up" ticket entirely diff
tcrent from that of the Americans, and furnished
it to the editor Of the Courier for five dollars !!
"countereits" was printed, and cmissaries sent
p>sthastc with them all over tho country-but
10! when Mr. Editor, on election day. secured
the genuine American ticket, he found he had
been "sold!"

Suit AGAINST A STAKEHoLpER.--John Andrews
having great confidence in the pluck aud prowcss
ofthe " Benicia Boy" backed his opinion, hy put
ting up $500 against Andrew Hines, whose afFec-
tons leaned towards Morrisey to an equal amount.
The stakeholder was Ezra White, who at first de-
clined to receive tho deposit rendered by Andrews
upon the ground that h, did not like to hold stakes
Tor any person except regular sporting man.
This touching incident Of reliance upon the great
maxim of "honor among thieves is the only re-
lieving feature of the great encounter that has
come under our observation. Andrews himself
did not believe in it, and having become suspicious
that he had been betting with u man of straw So
far as anything in the shape or substance of five
hundred dollars was concerned, brought an action
in the New York Marine Court against White
for the amount. After tho case had been opened
the Court was adjourned for an hour, and before
it met again the parties had settled up among

An American college in Rome.

A plan has been under consideration for
over year among portion of the Catholic
community to erect an american College
in Rome, for the education of American stu
dents, particularly those preparing for the
priesthood, without meeting with much sue
cess; and consequently the faithful were not
little astonished on hearing a letter read
from the Rev. Archbishop Hughes, on Sun
day, in all the pulpits of the city, and we
presume throughout the United States, call
ing on the fold to contribute towards the
above object on Sunday next December IL,
to the extent of their ability. The facts con-
nected with the case are these: Over q year
ago wealthy, humane gentleman in the
interior of this State, proposed to build the
above college for $1,000 provided 100
subscribers could be found to subscribe ST.
900 each, and headed the list himself with
ore thousand dollars. Soon after he died,
and only thirteen persons more were added
to the list. But ROW the Archbishop comes
to the "rescue, and proposes to raise the
whole fund on Sunday next. The Pope, it
seems, heartily fayors the plan, and already
the ground has been bought for S43, 00O-
the building lately occupied by the French
soldiers.
A letter from the Archbishop was also
read, announcing a jubilee throughout the
world, to terminate on the 3lst of December
1858, by order of Pope Pious TX. The an
nouncement is unusually and unexpectedly
short.-N. Y. Tribune.

NEW York, Dec. l5-M
The Times Washington correspondent
says the Secretary Of War has been called
on for the estimated force necessary to gar
rison military in Mexico, according to the
recommendations of the message.
The Military Committee of the House will
refuse to report the bill for the increase of
the army.
The Judiciary Committee will shortly re-
port a bill amending the neutrality laws,
and removing hindrances to commerce.
The House Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons have agreed unanimously, to report a
resolution of inquiry relative to the visit of
the British officers of the Valorous, to the
steamer Washington. 1t asks for informa-
ton which may be received in the future
The House Committee on Territories met
yesterday.
Stevens of Ca, asked authority to report
a bill for the admission of Oregon, with q
recommendation that it pass.
1t was opposed by the Republicans, who
say they are unwilling to admit Oregon with
population of only 10000, while Kansas
is refused admittance with 10000. The
vote stood four in favor and four against re-
porting.
Another report is expected. 1t is now
understood that Zollicoffer, who was absent
will vote against Stevens resolution.
1t is said that dispatches received at the
Navy Department from Commodore McIn.
tosh are quite pointed and interesting.
1t appears that Sir William Gore Ousley
promised the Commodore to meet him al
Aspinwall. After waiting a reasonable
time, the Commodore, suspecting something
wrong, ran down to San Juan del Norte
There he found Sir William still on board
the Valorous, and that one of the steamer;
had been visited by the British officers, il
violation of our views of the right of search
question.
The Commodore became quite incensed
and Immediately wrote a note to the Eng.
lish demanding an explanation. The Eng
lish replied that they had right to visit
vessels in aport belonging to nation under
their protection, meaning the Mosquitoes.
Commodore Mcintosh wrote another not,
stating that he took an entirely differen
view, and considered the act one of agrees
sion, and repeated that he should be com
PEELED to resist it with what force he hat
under him.
The reply to the note was an immediate
visit from several of the chief British off
Gals to Roanoke, to try and explain anC
arrange the difficulty.

Greeley and Seward.

1t is now well understood that the New
York Tribune will not favor Stewards as
pirations for the Presidency; Mr.. Greeley
has become one of his most inveterate OPP
posers. y correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune says the feeling arises from con-
viction on the part OF the honest and incor-
ruptible old white coated philosopher who
controls its columns, that ne is jobber-
that ne is prepared TO barter his votes and
influences to plnndering Congressional
schemes, ior consideration "a convic-
ton that his late extraordinary defence OF
the infamous Matteson is rather calculated
to strengthen than unsettle. We are conf
dent that the insane project of certain New
York politicians TO force Seward on the Re-
publican party in 1860, as its candidate fol
President, receives no sympathy from
Horace Greedy, butwill, at the proper time,
meet with his most decided and energetic
opposition.

did not always behave themselves, the
managers Of these social dancing parties
have concluded to admit none to the hall

selves, will present their tickets at the door

feel that this is due them, and the only
course they can pursue to defend themselves
from those who would bring a reproach
upon their parties by bad conduct
