Demacrntic Consistencr.

One of the richest items which it has fallen
to our lot to record of the doings of the pres
ent Democratic Administration will be found
below.
A short time since, the Postmaster at Nor
walk, Mr. Parks, who is brother-in-law of Mr..
Secretary Toucey, for ''oficial reasons conclu-
ded to resign As matter of etiquette, leav-
ing out of view the wishes of the people, the
retiring officer was permitted to select his sue
cessor In this emergency his choice fell upon
4 worthy, intelligent and upright gentleman
named John " Vredenburgh. This gentleman
went to Washington, received his appointment,
returned home, executed the necessary bond,
and started it for Washington day or two
since per mail So far all was right, and Mr.
v doubtless thought himself a servant of the
Administration. But the old adage was veri-
fed, by the receipt per mail yesterday morning
of a commission for Mr.. Charles r. Miller, and
the revocation of the former appointment. Mr..
NJ is said to be very worthy man, but we
would suggest to him the propriety of getting
possession at the earliest possible moment, be-
fore there is another change in the current OF
Executive favor-ToledO Blade.

it. The ladies of the city who have done so
much to found, carry on, and build up the no.

by notice elsewhere, are invited to meet this
afternoon in the Parlors of Dr. AIKEN's Church
to consider the subject and devise the best

4 Struck Jury

A letter in the Herald from Prof. Peck, Of
Oberlin-one ofthe indicted for violation of the
Fugitive Law-states that the U. s. District
Court has granted struck jury for the trial Of
the persons indicted. Prof P says
This unexpected liberality seems to give a
promise that the prosecution will conduct the
trial with fairness, and that the defendants will
be permitted to enjoy the ordinary privileges of
parties charged with breach of law. So unu-
sual permission in behalf of people answering
in United States Court to the charge of vio-
lating the Fugitive Slave act, will surely be a
new thing under the sun, and well will it be
for Judge Wilson if he has the courage to dis
tinguish himself in such a way

the conductor stopped the train and elected him

damages, in the Court of Common Pleas of this
county. The case came on for trial at the pre-
sent term and resulted in verdict for the plain
