City Election

Now that the bail has fairly opened
it is not difficult to see that the pros
poets Of the Democracy are 10y no
means SO gloomy as many have lately
imagined. The power of the enemy,
which seemed so formidable when
viewed through the mist, loses its ter
rife proportions when closely scanned
in the sunlight upon an open plain
There is, after all, but little difference
in the strength Of the Democratic and
Republican parties, and that difference
Is more than compensated for by the
selfish and merccnary management of
the Republican leaders, who disgust
the rank and file with their parcclling
out Of the spoils between wrctchcd
tools on the one part-and hungry
outsiders on the other. 1t is enough
to dispirit any party to ignore the
claims Of the good men who adorn it,
and fix up broken down ofiicc-huntcr
like Ed. Cook into sort of god on
whom all the sweets of power shall be
lavished; nor is it less discouraging
to hard working politicians to see the
Marshallship settled for life on an in
dolent-good-natured-good-fc for moth.

see the place of Police Magistrate Civ
en- to a hide-bound country parson
ike Judge Burris-to see the City
Clerk-ship awarded to a gawky boy
like Burwe!I. Services to the party
seems to disqualify one for obtaining
nomination, and the first question
Republican Convention asks concern
ing Candidate, isis he worker
if he be he may bid farewell to his
hcpes-some Cook or Burris will
"knock the persimmons," and carry off
the spolls. The masses Of the party
realize the truth Of these facts, and
hence the dissatisfaction, the murmurs,
and the revolt which have been SO no.
ticeable since the late slaughtcr-house
convention. Until the votes are count-
ed, no one will be able to estimate the
breadth and depth Of the popular con-
demnation of the miserable clique of
spoils-men who assume to rule, but in
reality ruin the Republican party of
the city. The Democracy with a
fair ticket in the field, will sweep
everything before it. Never was there
a more suspicious opportunity than the
present for the overthrow of these
Republican spoil-hunters, for they arc
now in the wretched position Of lead
ers without party.

Extension Of the City Of Pa,iss
PANS, Feb. "a. 1859.

BY stroke of the pen Paris has
been converted from city of twelve
hundred thousand population into one
of sixteen hundred thousand. All, or
nearly all, Continental cities, possess
an octroi wall-that is to say, they
charge duty upon all articles of pro-
visions eutering the city, and, to
guard against the introduction Of con-
traband goods, arc obliged to throw
around the city wall which is thus
called. The present octroi wall Of Pa
ris was built long time ago, and at
time when the city was perfectly COM
prised within its circumference. The
longest diameter of this wall is about
five miles and three-quartes. Time,
and the rapid growth Of the city, have
however, produced population exte-
rior to this octroi wall of nearly four
hundred thousand people. 1t is this
population, which by decree of the
Emperor, has just been incorporated
into Paris-a Ia W which is to come in
to effect on the lst Of January next.
Outside of this population, and at
distance varying from 700 yards to two
miles, Louis Philippe constructed du-
ring his reign the celebrated fortified.
tion-wall which surrounds Paris. The
octroi wall will now be torn down and
the fertilization wall will be used for
the double purpose Of an octroi wall
for the collection of customs duties.
as well as defence in time of need.
A large number of new gates or en-
frances are to be made to this wall.
which will carry the number to 9S-
that of the wall of ancient Thebes.-
The city will then have diameter
varying from seven to nine miles.
This decree of His Majesty has
caused good deal of excitement. not
only in the environs thus transferred.
but in the city proper. The Common
Council opposed the measure vieor.
ously to the last, and since he has been
in power, the Emperor has never be-
fore taken SO arbitrary a stand alone
against all opposition in a matter Of
such grave Importance. 1t is attempt-
ed to be shown, however, by the re-
port in favor Of the measure from the
Perfect Of the Seine, that what the
poor people Of the incorporated envi-
rons will lose in an increased price Of
provisions they will gain in a diminish
cd tax on house rent. The great mo-
tive for the measure was that the ban.
lieue, as It was called, this space be-
tween the two circular walls. was the
rendezvous for all the dangerous cla,ses
Of the community, and to govern them
properly it was absolutely necessary 10
extend the municipal law over them
Besides, the city had arrived at such 4
point in its growth that the old octr,;
wall was really inside the dense part
Of the city. and formed mere arb;-
trary line without meaning. The Rm.
peror unquestionably judged the ouea-
ton rightly. If the systsm Il limos.

A NEW BANK LOCK WITHOUT ANY
KEY Or KEY HOLE.

Iron the Albany Evening J,ufna',I
We thought that we had obtained
the ne plus ultra Of arithmetical and
mechanical ingenuity, when we got
our Railroad Ticket Press, which reg
listers and numbers every ticket itprlnts
~ intelligibly as a clerk with pen and
ink, and with more iniallible accuracy.
But we have been shown to-day an
invention in which the principle OF
arithmetical combination is carried out
and applied to a new use with snrprl-
sing results. This is bank lock which
absolutely defes the skill Of Hobbs.
1t works in this wise. Around the
door knob Of the bank is small brass
index, on which are numbers from ]
to 100. You lock the door and then
set the index to any number yon please
(say 20 by turning to the right. fou
then set il to second number (say 95l
bv turning TO the lett, and then third
number (say 49, by turning to the
right again. You then give it twirl,
and 90 OIL and leave II.
In the middle of the night, up comes
burglar with his dark lantern and
skeleton keys. He examines the lock.
No use for skeleton keys, for there is
no key-hole to put them in, No use
for gun-powder, for there is no place
to pour 1t. There is round brass
knob with figures round it. That is
all. Clearly, his only way to get in,
is to turn the knob to the right num-
Der.
lie begins to try. He turns it to
every number on the Index, from to
100, irving the door each time. No
60. lie turns it back to every number
from 100 to l. Still no go. When
he reaches the right number, there is
no click or any other intimation that
he has reached it, and he is as likely
to go past as to stop. Granting even
that he accidentally hits on the first
number, he must lose it in trying to
find the second and third. He has to
find the right three numbers, and find
them in the same order that you set
them and keep each when found-in
other words, he must find the right
one ont of over a million combinations
of figures If the night was as long
as Methusalah's life, the morning
would find him at his unavailing work.
AT nine o'clock you come along,
turn the handle to the right numbers
in succession, open the bank with per-
feet ease, and attend to business.
1t is of no use to knock down the
Cashier on his way home at night, in
order to rob him of the key. He has
no key. The key, such it is, is left in
the door. All the Cashier has, is the
memory Of certain figures in his head,
where they can't be got at
Neither does its excellence depend
on complex and secret mechanism. 1t
is very simple. Anybody can under
stand it, and the more thoroughly he
understands it, the more completely
he comprehends the impossbility of
unlocking it.
One of the chief troubles of most
bank locks is, that they get out Of Of
der. A cog is worn or spring falters
and the lock won't turn, and then the
Bank Officers are kept out as well as
the burglars. But this one has no
spring. 1t must Turn when the right
numbers are known, and no amount of
strength can turn it when they are
not.
