COMMISSIONER NYE'S HOUSE AND LOr AGAIN.
1t almost brings tears into our eyes to per-
ceive that, IL Captain Squires is rightly in
formed, Commissioner Nye is going to lose
that house and lot after all. We do hope he
will not abandon the thing without another
trial. Mr.. Nye, we understand, is the special
counsel Of several policemen who have been
brought up before the criminal courts on
charges Of various kinds; he should on no ac-
count give up his claim to that house and lot.
Perhaps be may follow the example of on emil
nent ex-State Senator, who. having earled
the gratitude Of the policemen by resisting
throughout session bill to deprive them of
their vocation, was presented by them with a
service of plate The story getting into the
newspapers, the Senator went round. making
much noise, and disclaimed in the most empha-
tic manner any knowledge of what the police
men were doing, and any intention to accept
the plate; which, however, he subsequently,, at
what sacrifice Of feeling may be conjectured,
concluded TO take and to keep. The public
seem to think that General Nyes house and lot
are destined to the same fate as that service of
plate, and that the Commissioner will vet get
his comfortable homestead. Ii he does. we sim
cerely hope he will not lose sight OF the car
riages and horses, and yacht

THE Srock GAMBLING MANIA.-The mania for
specializing in stocks rather gains than loses
ground. tits transpiring that as large fortunes
have been made on the rise as on the fall. Men
are pointed out who have realized 100000 by
buying this or that stock while it was depress-
ed; others, who have made their twenty or
twenty-five thousand in the course Of week
Every one who buys stocks nowadays makes
money; it must be so SO long as the banks are
so full Of money and trade is 30 dull.
The police ought to take walk down to the
offices of the principal brokers and watch the
faces which throng them between twelve and
two. A knowledge of them might hereafter
prove clue to the discovery Of defalcatien or
an embezzlement. Avarice is 30 general in this
community that in times like the present, when
1t seems hardly possible not to make money by
buying stocks, it is hard to find people who
have not some interest in the stock market.
Even the ladies are buying, 6hd dressing them
selves out of their profits.

THE BLACK REPUBLICANS AND THE MoRwoSs-
1856 AND ls5s.-In 1856 special edict for the
expulsion of Mormon polygamy was made one
of the main pillars of the black republican
platform for the Presidency, the other front pill
lar being hostility to the slavery extending pro-
gramme Of Mr.. Douglas and the Southern ul-
tras. This was in 1856; but in 1858 we find
Mr.. Douglas, the Southern ultras and the Black
Republicans cheek by jowl in their work of
sympathy with the Mormons in the defeat Of
the Army bill. This is almost as funny as that
Mr.. Seward, the great anti-savery expounder Of
the North, should, upon this Army bill, stand
with Jefferson Davis of Mississippi, aud Ca
meron of Pennsylvania the most conspicuous
among the supporters of the administration.

The TARIFF INVESTIGATION AT WASHINGTON
The Committee Of Investigation seems at last to
be bringing out some facts upon this matter.
According to the testimony of the last witness
examined, the $87 900 In question passed out of
the hands of the Middlesex Company into those
of Mr.. Wolcott, and out of the hands of Wolcott
into those of Ashmun Ashmun denies that any
portion of it was conveyed to members of Con-
gress for the purpose of bribing them, or for
any other purpose. If so, who received the
money! Where is it?
While the committee is busy inquiring into
this matter, they should send to this region for
certain witnesses who are connected with an
obscure paper that is published in this city.
Ex-Governor Raymond and ex-stock broker
Wesley profess in their journal to know that q
sum of 100000 was contributed by the facto-
ries and operatives in New England for the pur-
pose of buying up the Washington lobby. Ex-
stock broker Wesley was formerly great opera
tor in stocks here, but broke down in the course
of the revulsion last year. He was also, and is
still, concerned in the old Brick Church specula-
ton. Ex-Governor Raymond has also specu-
lated largely with the political parties of the
country; he was first whig then black re-
publican, then little of know nothing, then
somewhat Of democrat. Both of these are
intelligent men; they profess to know great
deal. Let the committee subpoena them to
Washington at once.

KEEP CooL.-With the first regular set.to in
the House of Representatives upon the Lecomp-
ton constitution miscellaneous scrimmage of
the border rufian order took place on the floor,
and this was rapidly followed up by most
alarming schedule Of bar room quarrels, chal-
lenges, duels and rumored duels in embryo.
But with the armistice which followed upon
Kansas, law and order were happily restored in
the federal city. Now, however Lecompton is
up again, and we would accordingly admonish
all parties concerned, who are liable to violent
excitements upon the niger question, or con-
corning John Calhoun, Jack Henderson or
Gen. Jim Lane, to keep cool. Avoid as much
as possible all belligerent personalities, and re
trench, as much as possible in the drinking of
the detesable brandy and execrable rotgut
whiskey with which the bar rooms aud rum
holes of Pennsylvania avenue are said to
abound. 1t is as dangerous in Washington as
in Lecompton to mix up too much alcohol with
this Kansas medicine Of popular sovereignty"
1t inevitably leads to combustion, explosions
pugilistics and civil war Fellow citizens of the
Senate and House of Representatives keep cool

evening by the Central Murphy Club will not
also be genuine democratic affair The old
Sacbems of Tammany had better recognise the
fact at once that "the unterrifed" of this
great metropolis have grown too large for their
old Tammany breeches, and must have room
for the free exercise of their Limbs
1t is the policy, then, of the administration
first to confirm the appointments of Mr. Schell
as the best that can be made under the circum-
stances-insiders and outsiders of Sold Tam
many inclusive; and secondly, to leave the
disappointed Office beggars to settle their
troubles among themselves In any event, the
disappointed to the appointed will be as ten to
one, and perhaps even twenty to one. Thirdly,
we would again sdmonish our democratic mem
beers of Congress to stick to Lecompton and
their legislative duties, and they will have
enough to do. 1t will be time enough for them
any how, to take Mr.. Collector Schell's Office
into their keeping when he shall have been
found incompetent to fill it.

From the Eagle < Enquirer. UNREST.

There's many things that none may know That wear the heart and life away; Behind a calm external show
 We hide the vulture thoughts of prey. In pleasures whirl we seek for balm To soothe the weary, stormy breast, But folly's draughts can never calm The sleepless demon of unrest. Each wave that ribs the foamy deep, May find, Tn its mysterious round. Some nook where 1t may calmly sleep, Secure from rock and tempest frOwn; Each wind that shrieks along the sea, Like lost and lonely spirits wall, May softly court the flowery lea In some sequestered sunny vale; Each bird that cleaves the ambient air May fold its weary wing to rest. 'Tls left alone for man to bear A ceaseless canker in his breast! Mid festal scenes where all is bright, And music's softly melting notes Steal OCT the perfumed air of night, And silvery ringing laughter floats; Where starry gems and quivering plumes Meath candelabra's flashes blaze; Where eyes speak love, and beauty blooms And lips grows eloquent in their praise We mingle, fondly hoping there, Mid flow of wit and flush of wine, To quench the greedy flame of care That burns away life's inner shrine. 'Tis vain! o rest! where shall we find Thy presence in life's hollow show? The fevered heart and aching mind, Too well the phantom mirage know. 'Tis not in scenes of fesUal mlrth, Nor in the lone and shadowy dell Where solitude gave silence birth, And where 1t restehth like a spell; 'Tis not in jeweled wealth and ease, Nor science, nor in splendid art 'Tis one of natures own decrees To shut thee from the human heart.

 A bumblebee went laundering by, To hover in the sulphur smoke,
 And spread its pail upon the sky. His echoing axe the settler swung,
 He was a lad of high renown; And deep the pearly caves among,
 Giles Scroggins courted Molly Brown. Loud roars the wild inconstant blast,
 And cloudless sets the sun at even; When twilight dews are falling fast,
 And roars the thunder drum of heaven Oh ever thus, from childhood's hour,
 By torch and trumpet fast arrayed Beneath yon ivy mantled tower,
 The bull-frog croaks his serenade. My love is like the red, red rose,
