Mr.. SIcKLEs' SEAT IN CoNGREss.-Tbe
District represented by Mr. Sickles is local
ity which has been more or less noted for
election disorders and illegal voting. His re-
election last fall, is contested ON the ground
that it was gained by fraud At the election
5000 votes were cast, of which he received
about one-third, the other twothirds being d.
yided between Walbridge, the Independent
Democratic candidate, and Williamson, the
Republican nominee. Sickles' plurality over
the latter was but 1872, and the Developments
of the Naval Committee Investigation, togeth-
with evidence previously obtained, it is said,
will show this to be entirely fraudulent The
evidence will be submitted by Mr. Williamson
at the opening of the next session of Con-
gress, and the House may award him the
seat

MoRPHY IN PARIs.-A Paris correspondent
of the New York Times, writing March IA,
gives the following interesting information in
regard to Paul Morphy and his triumphs:
MIR. Morphy, who does not leave for the
United States for some weeks yet, continues to
play chess at the Cafe de la Regence, and in So
ciety against all corners, and invariably with
the same remarkable success. People do not
play with the American champion now with
the expectation Of beating him, but for the hon
or Of being able to say in after time that they
have played UM him; because his reputation
already surpasses that of Philidor or Labour-
donnas in the time in which they lived. Late
" the President of the London Chess Club,
Mr.. Mongredieu, came to Paris to satisfy HIM
self as to the real merit of Mr.. Morphy's play
ing, and to the rank he ought to occupy Mon
gredieu and Morphy played eight games, of
which one, the first, was drawn, while the others
were gainedby Morphy. In this trial ofskill two
acts were remarked in regard TO Mr.. Nor
phys playing, which are almost universally
remarked in his games when contesting with
a first rate player. These are, that he seldom
wins the first game, and that up to say the
twentieth move he rarely shows any superio-
rity over his competitor 1t is only after that
point in the game that he commences those
extraordinary and unlocked for moves which
astonish the audience and crush his antagonist
beyond hope of recovery
Mr.. Morphy is now engaged at the Cafe de
la Regence in most singular game of chess
with party Of amateurs numbering one hun
dred. These hundred persons have subscrib-
ed to give Mr., Morphy public dinner before
his departure, but before that event comes off
they are playing a game thus: The hundred
are divided into five sections of twenty each,
who arc to play among themselves until one of
the twenty is acknowledged the victor of the
others. When each of the eategories shall
have thus selected one oftheir number as their
champion, the five champions are to play
against Morphy at odds graduated to the re-
spective strength of each category"

SNAKE SroRr.-A few days since, Alvin
Cook, Esq, killed, on his farm in the South
part of Uxbridge, fifty three black snakes, the
aggregate length of which was two hundred
and eleven feet and five inches. The longest
measured five feet and two inches, several
were five feet in length, and but two less than
three feet. The average length was but por.
ton less than five feet.
We know Of no valid reason which can be
assigned for such collection of snakes on Esq.
Cooks farm, for he is a gentlemanly man and
valuable citizen,) unless it be MS a punish
ment for his political errors; still, candor com
pels us to admit that he is plucky sort of a
person, and one not likely to be Kissed down,
whether right or wrong.

formed in Dublin for the benefit of the city
Erison. In London the proceeds of its first
presentation went to the Founding Hospital
The marked success it had in Dublin did not,
at first, attend it here Causes of personal
nature existed; but the public, uninfiuenced by
Jealousies or class feelings, subsequently did it
full justice. Among all others, the honorable
distinction of this has been to be selected
most frequently to aid deserving objects. 1t
has been called the oratorio of charity. As
we have seen, the prisoner was first remember
ed, and next, the founding. For several years
one performance in each was given to the Hos
pital for the latter, which amounted, in all,
to more than f10, 900. No record exists of what
it has been the means of obtaining for the wild
ow, the orphan and the afflicted of every name.
But its outward results are imperfect tests of
the work it has done, even if we knew them.
As the servant of religion, it has sublmely
praised the Lord God omnipolent walled over
the cruel suferings of him who was despised
and rejected of men; awakened tenderness
and pity and love between man and man and

ceptionable object, like that of the Orphans
Home, it would reconsecrate here these divine
melodies, year by year, to the cause of charity.
