sdent has erred at all it has been in not removing
those men who seemed determined to make the
most of their opportunities TO advance the interests
Of Mr.. Douglas. The influence Of interruptions
ONCE holders and politicians abroad, with the OFF,
cial patronage they could control, has, too, all the
while been quietly exerted to sustain Mr.. Douglas,
and virtually the patronage to New York politicians
more than recompensed him for all the administra-
ton patronage he lost at home. These individuals
have not only indirectly supported him, but seve-
raj of them have visited this State and used their
influence for him. The presence of Dean Richmond,
John Stryker, John F. Seymour and others has
not been without its effects; and while they have
surfeited on the "spos' at home, they have shown
themselves eft for treason and stratagem" abroad;
and if any party has just cause to complain of the
President it is the administration party of this
State, who have labored necessarily, and who have
all the while witnessed the influence of the
President in this State, New York and other
sections indirectly used to further the interests Of
Mr.. Douglas
OF the future policy of Mr. D., the country gene
rally has judged rightly, and that he intends to
form third party Is beyond question. He and
Seward, who have all along framed the issues Of the

the district over which it had spread. and had
stopped one of the principal roads, but as the
inland was almost aninhabited IN that quarter the
damage done was not considerable.
The Dutch Envoy in Japan-Mr. Donker Curtius-
has made a new treaty with the Court of Jeddo,
rranting fresh concessions, the chief of which is
that Dutch women will be allowed to live there.
The Minister Of Public Instruction at Vienna has
Issued decree subjecting private schools and edu-
cational establishments to new regulations. For
the future they are to be divided according to the
sex of the children and according to their religion
The girls schools can only be directed by females,
but male professors may be in them. The schools
are divided into Roman Catholics, Protestants,
Greeks and Jews. The Roman Catholic children
cannot on any account be received except in the
schools of their own religion, nor can Jews be ad
mitted into the Roman Catholic ones; but Protes
tant children may under certain circumstances be
received there. In the Roman Catholic establish
ments all the professors must be that persuasion.
None but Austrian subjects can open private
school, and in order to obtain authorization, GER
tifcates of good conduct and morals, in both civil
and religious point of view, must be produced; the
party must also have gone through regular exam-
nations as to capabty, and must be able to prove
that every arrangement has been made to secure to
the children proper relig ious instruction. The pr
vate schools must be organized the model of the
public ones and use the same books These are
revised by the clergy.

amount OF fifty odd dollars and played sevenup''

money out of bank he returned to release the
watch, and again joined the ladies in game.

vorable as could be expected. Mr.. @. left here in
the early part of the present week.
The intimated purpose Of the President to call an
extra session of Congress in the contingencies men
toned is fully approved here. There Is general
desire to see the black republicans foiled in their
efforts to stave off the important measures which
are now under consideration. The motive of this
policy has an easy solution in the prospect of black
republican ascendancy in the next Congress.
We are now in the enjoyment of charming
