of giving bail because he had undertaken TO arrest

warrant, before said prisoners appear before the
Recorder aforesaid.
Constable Waters had plenty of solvent friends
but how could they bail him out, when the Re-
corder's orders were worthless and when he had
had the Chief of Police arrested, and had endeaY.

The Constable had to be deprived of his Valu-
sbes, as all persons have to be, who sleep in the
lookup. Among his yaluabes were the mittimus
which he had executed upon Frank Ames, and tke
attachment which he had attempted to serve upoa
the Mayor. These were of course locked up, with
the other things, aud are now subject to the orders
of the Mayor and the Chief of Police only.
When we left the lookup at IL O'Clock last night,
Recorder Emerson's Secretary, Mr. James Coffey,
was politely asking for certain papers found on
Constable Waters, and Deputy Night Officer Sam
Houston was politely informing him that he
couldn't think Of it, as he was responsible to the
Mayor.

The Recorders Court was crowded at 10 o'clock.
The Recorder, looking over the crowd IN his usual
benign and smiling way, failed to discover the
agreeable countenanec Of the Mayor.
He thereupon issued an attachment for the arrest
of his Honor; and, as none of his Court officers or
any other police officer dared serve this attach

with which he had obligingly searched for the un-

STATEMENTS OF THE CONSTABLE AND THE CHIEF
Constable Waters denies that he acted uncivilly
or dsrespectfully in accosting the Mayor, and de-
MES that in putting his hand upon the Mayor he
was any more rough or rude than it is necessary
for any officer to be when sent to attach party
and that party refuses to come.
Chief McClelland denies that he forcibly prevent
ed the Constable from arresting the Mayor but he
asserts that the Constable did act in rude and un-
gentlemanly manner toward the Mayor, and that
he told him he could not take him away in that
manner; and declares further that the Constable
was invited to come up into the Mayors office,
which he did not see fit to do.

Incentive TO the still further extension Of CONNIE re

The most important political intelligence bYouQht
By the La Plata Is that Of the Communication OF the
labors Of the Convention, whereby the province of
Buenos Ayres has become bona f6e one Of the

act was officially done on the morning Of October

ANYTHING for q Change.

Said a guest--at the table of a land
lord who did not know how "to keep
hotel"--turning to the waiter and reach

is tea give me coffee, and if that is cof-
fee give me tea; anything for a change y
So it was in 1910 with large class of
voters who were identified and had act
ed with the Democratic party, but who
could not sustain the corruption of Van
Buren's administration - than which
none has been more corrupt until that
Of James Buchanan. Those voters made
no noise about the matter; gave per-
haps, no public adhesion to the Whig
party, but quietly dropped their ballots
for Gen. Harrison, on the principle
that there must be a change. In no 9th
er way can the vote that overwhelm-
ed the "Little Magician in that men,
orable contest be accounted for.
The same feeling is at work in 1860.
With but rare exceptions, no man saw
ing and excepting, of course, Federal
Office -holdcrs-pretends to defend this
Administration, and no Democrat, of
either wing, save now and then an in-
cOrrigible party hack, prctends, in pri-
vate, confidential talk, to sanction the
course of the Democratic party in re-
lation to the Kansas Nebraska policy,
from its inception in the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise down to its attempt
to out-Lecom pton Lecompton, by the
passage of the English" swindlc.
Utter condemnation of this Admin
istration, the distrust of Douglas, have
worked the complete alienation of thOus
ands of voters, who will make it mani
fest only by the silent but omnipotent
power of the ballot. They know Bu-
chanan to be corrupt; that Douglas is
desperate and inconsistent; they see
that steadily, under Democratic rule,
does Involuntary Servitude tread upon
the heels of Free Labor; they feel that
the Democratic party have been hewers
of wood and drawers of water to the
Slavery -propagandists, that the blacks
at the South are Slaves, and the Demo-
Gratis at the North are Peons--Onc per-
petually enslaved, the other, at least,
temporarily bound to their exacting
masters.
Under this grievous burden, even
Democrats groan and sigh to be deliver
ed, and, adopting for their motto "any-
thing for change" thousands will vote
for Lincoln and Hamlin who do not
rank themselves among Republicans -

re-appeared in Ireland, although, per-
