.aDear Enquirer Notwithstanding the
Presidents interference to allay the diHeren-
ces of the City Democracy, they are and will
be divided house, destined ere long to an
inglorious fall and complete destruction.
Fernando Wood, yet smarting under his de-
feat by man without prestige, leads the van
of the "outs" to the onslaught of the "old
wigwam," the headquarters of the once
orthodox Democracy. lie is man that bas
the reputation Of carrying his point by fair
means or by foul, and as there is no compro-
mise in him, the struggle is yet to come.
In this prolific day of duels with pistols,
paper-pellets and brick-bats, the Metropolis
has also her share of deadly belligerents as
ready to do battle With the Zen as with the
sword, perhaps triae more ready to contend
with the former and mightier weapon. Hops
Daniel Sickles aud G. Tucker, Secretary Of
State for New York, have been passing notes
of no peaceful character on basis of certain
assertions the former made in regard to the
latter in the late Congressional canvass.--
Sickles, ever uppermost in every fight, has
wound his man around his finger, daring him
to his worst. So the matter stands for fur
ther issue.
Again hopes of faint character are en-.
tertained for the Atlantic Telegraph, based
on the dispatches.receiVed here that commu-
nicatious were conveyed through the wires
few days since. 1t is pretty generally con-
ceded that new cable must be laid before
we can hold communication with the other
side with any degree of success.
The lottery men are still in tribulation.-
The evidence is all taken and the counsel
have summed up for and against the prose
cution, but, as is usual In such cases, the
judge reserves his decision in order to ex.
anime the evidence pro and con. Enough
has been shown to prove the lnws violated,
but the question turns on whether Wood,
Eddy & Co., are implicated as agents for
S. Swan & Co., and Gregory and Manry.-
The most noticeable feature in the trial is
the utter want Of honesty in the evidence
and the strict care taken to shield the gull
ty. The most that can be expected from
the trial is the publication of said lotteries
beeare the risking world.
The three days feast of the Mount Vernon
Association is over It was the most bril-
liant success Of its kind that was ever held

The various theatrical companies are like
wise contributing to the patriotic cause by
giving entertainments, the proceeds of which

Country.
Hon. Edward Everett has begun his series
of "Moupt Vernon Papers" in Bonner's
Lclger, for which he is to receive teu.thou.
sand dollars towards the Mount Vernon
fund. He is to give weekly paper for one
year for the sum mentioned above. Bonner
would show his patriotism to much better
advantage if he would give the entire pro-
ceeds of the. increase Of the circulation Of
the Ledger for the year toward the good
cause. Being very wealthy he can we'll af.
ford the luxury. But in making the ar
raugement he had a view to the main chance,
of which he will make the most.
Fairs are the order of the day for this
month Schools, Churches, Hospitals, So
cieties, Widows, Niggers, all come in for
share Of public patronage and a division of
the spoil. This month the cry is "Good
man p. next it will be "Good devil" Round
sums are in this way raised for institutions
that need it not one half so much as the
poor wretches who wander up and down
daily, in search of employment to make
morsel of bread for dying body. Such is
a glimpse of the. world within city; one
half starves. while the other sprees.
New York and Philadelphia are again play
ing chess-match by Telegraph, the first
having resulted in drawn game. Each
party is eager to decide the championship
of chess.
Heeuan's challenge to Morissey and the
world, has been accepted by Maine man or
giant, named Woods. Whether Heenan

feat, remains to be seen. SETH.
