CoRRupT.-Probably a more corrupt set Of
officials than those of New York City never lived
The man Heenan, or Benicia Boy, who when
in this country was a miserable loafer, holds an
Office of value. Indeed the offices seem to be
at the disposal of just such men as he. In speak
ing of the New York Government, the Bulletin
says:
In all its ramifcations, it seems to sympathize
with scoundrels, bulles and thieves Men hold
ing Office resign. go out and engage in prize
fight, beat, or get beaten, come back, and are
Immediately re-appointed. And why? Because
the polls are managed by brute force; and the
brutes who possess this force must be propitia-
ted by those who elevated by these polls
Judges, Mayor, Aldermen and Federal officers
appear to be all offs class. Unitedly, they are
urging on that city to aconvulson and a revo-
luton. The good and honest elements there are
now unduly compressed. There must before long
come explosion.

The NEXT II. OF Rive observe that late
calculation of the Alta gives the Republicans a
majority in the next House of Representatives
This calculation of the strength of the Republi-
cans differs widely from the estimate of the Gin
cinnati Gazette (not Democratic):
1t is now certain tha. the Black Republicans
proper will be in a considerable minority in the
Rext House Of Representatives. There will be
at least thirty-three Democrats from the North
who will not vote for a Republican arganization
These, united with the ninety Southern mem
bers, make handsome majority in the House.
The Republicans, at the outside, cannot count
more than one hundred and thirteen members
out of two hundred and thirty-six Should the
election Of the next President 90 into the House
of Representatives, the probability is that it
would choose the Democratic candidate Each
State has but one vote. The Democrats will
have fifteen Southern States, Illinois and Cali

Central American Affairs.

Central American affairs are growing quite in
teresting. General Walker has sheathed the
sword and adopted the ploughshare as the en-
oiem Of his enterprise. He and Gen. Henning-
sen has again become sworn friends. On the
10th Nov. upwards of 400 tickets had been sold
TO "emigrants.p Walker had been in Washing
ton for the purpose of ascertaining how far
British interference would extend to prevent the
movement. 1t is understood that he learned
enough to feel assured that, should he succeed
in gaining foothold in the country, be will not
be interfered with by the United States In this
turn of matters, the position expected to be ta-
ken by the Britishegoyernmen through her
agents becomes invested with great deal of i'm
porance.
It's stated that the Administration is under
great apprehension lest Walker and his emf
grants should slip through the hands ofour naval
commanders on the coast of Nicaragua and fall
into those of the British, in which case the Ad-
ministration will have to encounter the dilemma
of serious difficulty with England, or of a vio-
lent indignation in the South.
1t is also stated in this connection, that the
views ofthe Administration have undergone ma
terial modification recently touching Nicaragns
affairs.
In the meantime the "buIdogs" of Uncle
Sam and John Bull are gathering in the waters
of Nicaragua. A Washington dispatch of the 9tl
Nov. says:
Her Britannia Majesty's steamships Leopard
and Devastation, bearing the broad pennant o
Commodore kellett, are under orders to proceed
to Greytown, where they will be joined by hel
Britannia Majesty's steamer Valorous, with Si
Gore Ouseley, special Minister to Nicaragua, ant
her Britanic Majesty's steamer Basilisk 1t i,
| rumored here that there are five United States
ships-of-war at Greytown, with the object o
| coercing the Nicaraguan Government into th
ratification Of the Cass- Yrissarri treaty and tha
the British men-ofwar are being sent to protec
the Government of Nicaragua.
| We think a smell of burnt gunpowder alread
comes floating upon the southern breeze. Co
forbid it. Already the world is full enough G
widows, orphans, and sorrow and wailing.

RICHES Nor DEsIRABLE.-In these cold dull
times, when but little money is being made by
people generally, it is pleasant to contemplate
the worthlessness ofriches-especially ic we can
convince ourselves that "much wealth" is but
:" shade" the very outside shadow of shade.
1t is most comforting to read the following lines
from the poet Young:
Much learning shows how little mortals know
Much wealth, how little worldlings can enjoy;
At best, it babies US with endless toys,
And keeps us children till we drop to dust
AS monkeys at a mirror stand amazed,
They fail to find what they so plainly see;
Thus men, in shining riches see the face
Of happiness, nor know it is shade;
But gaze, and touch, and peep and peep again,
And wish, and wonder it is absent still.

Editing. q Newspaper.

We have frequently heard intelligent gentle
men suggest improvements upon the manner in
which papers are conducted. We have heard
them declare that they would assume to them
selves the privilege of pronouncing upon the
truthfulness of their advertisers cards--for in
stance, would exclude such as they believed un-
true, especially "quackp advertisements
short, they would publish model paper. ~
those who have been raised up in aprintinf
fee, who have learned the trade of editing a pa.
per-for it is as much trade or profession as
is watch making or practising at law or physic
this sort of talk of course is amusing We
have had many good quiet laugh over these
friendly but impracticable hints. The editor of
the Alpelousas Gazette, of Jan. 80, ls3o,-pub-
lished long before we knew the letter A from a
handsaw-gives very correct idea of the diff
culties which then beset, and which always will
beset the editor of newspaper:
The truth is an editor cannot step without
treading Oh somebody's toes. If he express his
opinions fearlessly and frankly, he is arrogant
aud presumptuous. If he states facts without
ments. If he conscientiously refuses to advo-
cate the claims of an individual to office he is
accused of hostility. A jackanapes, who mea-
sures off words into verses as clerk does tape
by the yard-hands him parcel of stuff that

nonsense, Stop my paper-I won't patronize a
man that's no better judge of poetry )" as if it
were patronage to buy paper at about one-half
more than so much waste paper would COST
One murmurs because his paper is not literary
another because it is literary-another be-
cause it is not literary enough. One grumbles
because the advertisements engross too much
room-another complains that the paper is too
large-we can't find time to read it all. One

The Law of Newspapers.

l. Subscribers who do not give express notice
70 the contrary, are considered as wishing to
continue their subscription.
?, II subscribers wish their papers discontin-
ued, publishers may continue to send them until
all charges are paid.
5. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their
papers from the office or place to which they
seat, they are held responsible until they
settle taeir bill, and give notice to discontinue
them
4. If subscribers move to other places without
Rnforming the publisher and the paper is sent to
the former direction, they are held responsible.
Notice should always be given of removal.
5. The courts have decided that refusing to
take a paper or periodical from the Office, or re-
moving and leaving it uncalled for, is prima
facie evidence of intentional fraud.

NOVEL GAS HEATER.-A new fuel-saving ap-

into which jet of gas is passed. II the gas be
directed into the sand, it will instantly diffuse
itself through the mass, and rising to the sur
face may with perfect safety be instantly set on
fire, the flame covering the surface of the sand
with pure flame without smoke, no matter how
large the extent of the fame, and with perfect
and complete combustion. The heat is almost
instantaneously diffused through the sand, heat
ing it equally throughout, and requiring but one
minute to raise such an intense temperature
that it will reAn its heat for several hours after
the gas is sh, off and the lights extingushed.
The gas reqHa@1 to light the room will also be
sufficient to heat it. BY this sand and gas stove
it is claimed that two cents worth of gas will
furnish enough caloric TO heat room for eight
hours.
