4 PERNIcIoUs ALARMIsT-The failure OF
the Artizan's Bank New York. small con-
Germ of only three years standing, was
through sheer mismanagement from the
start, a rotten basis, and combination OF
financial causes. The n. Y. Herald gives /
this explanation in its business column, and
on the editorial page has a double loaded
article headed, Commencement OF the
Politico- Commercial Crisis, in which 1t
predicts dire calamities to follow the cleo
ton of Lincoln, upon whom and the " black
republicans the present disaster is charged.
THE Emperor of China is represented to
be in state of drunken helpless imbecility.
The chief censor, an officer whose duty 1t IS
to rebuke the faults Of the highest Chinese
officials, protested some months ago against
the conduct Of the Emperor against his
drunkenness and dissipation, his attachment
to actors and love of low society. This re-
proof of his majesty was published in the
Pekin Gazette, and circulated throughout
the length and breadth of the empire.
nA. \ wagon loaded with a Douglas pole
broke down in the middle of the road near
Michigan City, Indiana, one day last week.
Night came on, and the Woodpeckers con-
cluded to postpone the pole raising until the
next day. During the night half dozen
Lincoln boys might have been seen in that
locality, and when the red caps returned in
the morning, they found the pole split into
rails and the wagon fenced in.-Er.

The St. Paul Pioneer, Dongt,s organ
thus expresses the views of its party in Min
nesota respecting fusion:
W z presume tue SlaltUleutS are SHOStAQ
TALLY true; and our conscience will not per
NIT us to say that the results ought not t(
be as they are said to be- We gave oul
views on the subject of the political harlot
nv in Iolved in the unnatural fusion of ele

ciple, when the outrage was consummatel
, by the political pimps Of tie great Contra
States We stated then that the cOrrup
bargain would be repudiated by the houeS
masses of the conflicting organizations; and
as we believe our prophecy was Justly based
we have no regrets to express that il ha,
. been righteousy fulfilled.
