anna, which says that the Conservatives led
by Gen. Gordo and the Liberals by Gen. Cor.
onado, met at Teipic, Mexico, about the 9Th
inst. The Conservatives were victorious, kill
ling Gen. Coronado and four hundred Of his
mon. The loss of the Conservatives is not
known, but supposed to be as great. The
Liberals fed to Mazatlan.
Gen. Coronado had imprisoned Her British
Majesty's Consul at Mszatlan, on account oil
his refusing to pay second duty on the
treasure shipped on the British steamer Cal
pyso. Capt. Sidney Green Fall, of Her British
Majesty's steamer Amethyst, released him and
blockaded the port, seizing two of their ships
loaded with cotton. Capt. Stone returns tc
Sonora with an escort of two hundred United

A NRGRo KILLED AND CoNcEALnD IN KEN
ruoKy.--Hsrdy Williams, a free man of color,
residing near Bowling Green, KY, having
been missing for several weeks, and suspicion
having arisen Of foul play, search was in
stituted and he was found on the premises Of
an old citizen, R. J. p. Marshall, where he
had been buried and wheat sown over the
grave. Hardy was notorious and dangerous
character, and there is little doubt that Mar
shall killed him. Why he should have en-
deavored to conceal the act, for which he would
not have been punished, is, however, little
singular.

The Fire-alarm Telegraph.

JOHN N. GAMRwELL 4 Co. have been allowed
the use Of the City Council Chamber to exhibit
the working machinery Of the American Fire
alarm and Police Telegraph. The wires, bat
teriss, &C., arc now In the hall. The propris-
tors, who have secured some eleven patents,
have a superior apparatus, and will, no doubt,
be able to put It In complete operation in this
city for $4,000, In cash or bonds. 1t Is In
operation In Louisville and Boston, and con-
tract for $57, 900 has been made to apply the
apparatus In New Orleans. Tonight the
committee will have conference with the pat
sntee, and tits expected that the bell Of George
street Rngins-house viii soon be operated
upon by the electric fluid. The main station
Of the telegraph lines to be laid will be at
the Office Of the Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Department, which, 1t is our opinion, should
be in the room adjoining, or near the office of
tho Mayor and tho Chief of the Police. Seventy
boxes about the city, no doubt, would render
adequate facilities to both departments.

tury.
The compromise measures Of 1850 had piven
peace to the whole Union the odious slavery
agitation principles Of Seward had Frustrated in
the dust the proud old wing party, and the de-
mocracy thus held undisputed occupation of the
country, North and South, when mischievous
hint thrown out by Mr.. Senator Dixon, of Ken
lucky, started Douglas, Pierce and the demo-
cratic party on the downward road to ruin. We
refer to that Kansas.Nebraska bill, and the re-
peal of the Missouri Compromise, which was in
troduced from that mischievous challenge of Mr..
Dixon, "Why don't you try it," That Presiden-
tial experiment created the Northern republican
party; and from the partisan border troubles,
kept alive by the politicians on both sides from
that day to this, In Kansas and out of Kansas,
the republican party has grown to its present
dimensions.
Had Mr.. Douglas and his followers cordially
supported the Kansas policy of Mr.. Buchanan,
the republican party by this time would have
been reduced to paltry faction, and the demo.
cratic party would have been q unit, North and
South. But in rebelling against the administra-
ton, Mr. Douglas made the opening which has re-
suited in an opposition House of Representatives,
and in 60 strengthening the republican party,
and in 60 distractiDg and dividing the democracy,
as almost to render certain the defeat of the
latter in 1860.
Their only hope lies in the nomination Of
Seward or in the adoption Of his platform by
the republicans, and in the nomination of some
more available man than Douglas, and a more
satisfactory platform than his popular sove-
reignty, by the Charleston Convention.

LICENSED SwNDING SHoPs-We transfer to
our columns to-day an article from the New York
Courier and Enquirer in regard to the mode in
which the poor and unemployed Of our city are
swindled by the institutions designated intelli-
gence offices and employment Offices. For all
practical purposes 1t might be much better for
us to have no law at all for the punishment of
criminals than law which either cannot be or
will not be enforced. There is not a day on
in mock auction stores, in bogus ticket Offices,
in so called hotels that are owned and frequented
by thieves, and by emigrant runners and licensed
hackmen and cartmen, all in the very teeth of
the police authorities, and In utter disregard
of the laws and those who administer them.
There is not city in Europe where such
things would be tolerated for day; but here
the swindlers flourish and carry on their bust
ness without disguise. If one of them is now and
again brought up before the Mayor or police
justice, the only punishment inflicted upon him
is compulsory restitution Of what he had gained
by fraud in that particular case; and, the resti-
tuition being made he is again set at liberty to
prey upon the community. In city where
laws are efficiently administered, there would
not be mock auction store, bogus ticket
Office, or any other such swindling establishment
allowed to exist; and such fellows as conduct
them here would be picking oakum, or walking
the treadmill, or deing penal servitude if they
attempted to carry on their business in London,
or Liverpool, or Paris. Such state of things
is far from creditable to us as a people.
But the Peter FuDks, and bogus ticket
sellers, and emigrant runners, and swindling
hotel keepers, are not the only villains into
whose clutches the stranger and friendless in
our city may fear to fall. There is another class
of scoundrels who prey upon them in less open
but no less heartless manner. We allude to the
fellows who open employment Offices or intelli-
gence Offices, and advertise good situations for
clerks, and bookkeepers, and coachmen, and wait
err, and domestic servants. These advertise
ments are, in ninety-nine cases out of hundred,
mere devices to lure those who are seeking for
employment into theirdens, and when they get
there they are induced by false representations
to pay their dollars for the high privilege of
having their names registered in book kept in
the concern. They are then told that The par.
