TnE SWORD BAYoNET.-Ono of the csnsos
which has domoralizcd tho Austrian soldier
is the new weapon-the sword bayonBt--.
with which he is attacked by tho French
soldier, and against which neither his own
old bayonot, nor his superior physical
strength are of any avail. Not only can tho
sword bayonet give thrust for thrust with
tho older weapons, but while it thrusts, or
withdraws aftor delivering it, it sewers tho
tendons of tho arm or leg of the opponent,
thus completely disabling him prior to tho
tast death blow Moreover tho French
loldcr is taught to w;old his wcapod BY
spoising it like quarter staff horizontally as
high as the head Of his adversary, and by q
slight movement in the segment of circle
the sharp blade is swept across the neck or
face, of three men opposed to him in limo -
This novel mode of attack cannot bo met by
tho muskct and bayonet honco the Aus
trim soldier has, in despair, resortod to tho
but of his musket in endeavoring to crush
his enemy who, ngile, skilful of fence, and
rendered confident by the superiority of his
now arm, can deliver threo wounds with his
sword bayonot while his antagonist is swing
ing his club.

Cincinnati Street Railroads,

The long discussed subject Of Street
Railroads has finally been disposed of by
the Cincinnati Council. Five contracts for
Street Railroad routes have been awarded
to the Companies who propose to build
and operate them, and on advantageous
terms TO the city, The corporators are re-
sponsible and enterprising, and the city
will derive large annual revenue from
the roads. On four Of the routes the city
is TO receive license of 800 per annum
on each cnr used, and for each passenger
carried, one cent. The companies are
also bound to sell packages of twenty. FIVE
tickets for one dollar. On the fifth route,
the most unpromisng of any, the terms
differ somewhat from the others. being
less favorablet to the city. The company
is to pay Ss5 license per annum, per car,
and after the expiration OF ten years to
pay half cent per annum per passenger
carried. The work Of constructing the
roads is to commence Immediately, ms
each company is obliged TO begin within
thirty days after the contracts are ratified,
and to complete their road within a year

The President of tho meeting then spoke
of sister institutions especially of Dart

Choato, tho honor no sh cd upon his Alma
Mater, and said that Gov. Chase of Ohio,
would speak for him and for Dartmouth.
Gov. Chase then camo upon the stage and
spoke to this effect : iIo knew hardly what
to say but thought ho might bo first cousin
to the Alumni of Yale. Dartmouth and
Yaio wero sisters to Harvard. They all had
parents in old England. IIe was not here
to commemorate Dartmouth. What eulogy
could add honor to such u man of her Alum

young son of Yalo. Years ago, whom he
first began practice as lawyer in Ohio, he
found graduate of Yalo, Hugh Peters, a
young man who had come to Ohio. He be-.
gan we'll, gained friends, had all tho prizes OF
life before him ono night ho slept. he slopt
forever ho would commemorate Peters, not
tho sons of Dartmouth. lIe was himself a
New England man Dartmouth had founded
two colleges IN Ohio, whore Gov. Chase do
sired thcy should emulate Yale. IIo could
not forget, too tho common schools, On

SETTLING THE SLAVERY QUEsTION.-Tho

dent next year-for what, do you suppose :
Why, to sottle the slavery question That
is tho cry with these political hypocrites on
the eve of every Presidential election. But
what pure CANNON What uumitigatod
humbug
Now, If tho Democracy have not settled
tho slavery question yet, although thoy
have been in power all the time, had they
not better quit trying After an attempt
of ten or twenty years, they havo not only
failed to sottle it, but have broken them
selves into as many pieces as thore are
States in the Union. But wo do not now
believe there is a man in tho Union who
sincerely believes that the Democracy can
settle the slavery question, or want it settled
In fact they are the only persons who have
ever unsettled it. Away with hypocrisy.-

Auditor Of Genmpn Conntn


THE RUINS OF AN ANCIENT CITY,-A
letter from Tehuantopec, in tho New Or
leans Picayune, says;
Mr. Murphy's survey Of HuatcuIco has
demonstrated the entire practicability of
that port for coaling and water station /;
but tho most interesting feature in this ex-
ploration of the Pacific coast of Mexico, is
tho discovery of the ruins of an ancient city
within few miOs of the sea. The survey
ing party hovo brought back a largo num-
ber Of terra. Gotta idols, musical instrC-
monts, silver rings, bassO rsiiepos, &c; all of
which indicates an advanced condition of
civilization among the aboriginal people of
Mexico. Mr. Murphy's opinion is that The
ruins are Tolteoan, and probably covers an
epoch anterior to the Aztec invasion aud
conquest. Its his intention to present
those antiquities TO somo of the scientific
societies in the United Statos, and perhaps
make these quaint discoveries the theme of
q sories Of lectures.

ORGANIZING THE HOUSE.

We hear that certain enterprisDg citizens are
already writing letters Of solicitation and otherwise
fishing for committals and pledges with view to
securing to themselves desirable places under the
organization of the new House of Representatives
We have word to say on this point, which We
will thank Members to consider. 1t would be too
much to expect office-seekers to do Likewise.
The excellent Mrs Glass, in her judicious treatise
on Cookery is well known to hav, commenced her
directions for the proper and savory cooking Of
hare, with " First, catch your hare Nothing
could be more undeniably rational than this in
junction, yet its spirit is constantly disregardsd BY
greedy aspirsnts. Mr.. A, Mr. B or Mr. c., would
like to be Clerk, or Printer, or Sergeantat-A Arms,
or Doorkeeper, of the new House, and be sets to
work accordingly. But, when he asks Of any Mem
Der promise or committal to vote for him, be asks
what cannot properly be granted, and therefore
should not be sought. For it is abundsnty
obvious that the Republicans will have no clear
msjorty of the House, though they will have many
more Members than any other party. The House
can only be organized by the actual or virtual ss-
sent of o clear majority; and this can only be
obtai1e ed by the concurrence of Members of diverse
parties II all the Anti Lecoppton Democrats
would vote with the Republicans, their joint
strength would form such q m,jority; but this is
not likely TO take place unless the candidates thus
Imported and elected shall be chosen from the
anks of both these parties. If Republican csndi
date. only are to be supported BY the Republican
Members, it is highly probable that they will find
themselves aboriIg under deficiency Of votes
when the re.uts of the several banotinss are de-
cared.
We entreat the Republican Members not to fetter

ant, until they shall have reached Washington and
surveyed the whole ground. Should they then End

The Governors of the Aims House last night,
resolved to cut off the supply Of free liquors and
cigars furnished to the public institutions under
their control AS this is the third or fourth time
that they have done this in public and undone it
in private within the past two years, the regulation
is rot likely to be long observed. Being so severely
worked in the public service it is net surprising
that they should occasionally need little stimulus.
At their weekly meetings they get through SO much
business that they require good dinner at the ex-
pense of the Aims House fund.- before they are able
to get home. And when they visit the Islands on
business It's 10 more than reasonable to suppose
that the city will cheerfully give them feast Of
good things, with plenty Of rare wines to wash i!
down. Whether the city is willing or not how
ever, they take the feast and the wines, aud if
rumor does not belle them, they often go there for
no other purpose than to gorge themselves at the
expense of the public. The truth is, all that was
shameful in the excesses of the old "Tea Room"
may be found paralleed in the secret expenditures
of the Board Of Governors.
