OF the Wood, or Mozart Hall delegation, in,o the
Douglas State Convention at Syracuse, on au
equal footing with the Tammany delegation,
has given rise to great rejoiciDgs in the Mozart
camp. and to much weeping and wailing and
gnasbing Of teeth In the Old Wigwam But
what dors ii all amount to? Practically no
thing. The democratic party has gone to
pieces il is dead and done for. dead as the old

spasmodic movements Of dead frog under an
experimental gsivanic battery.
We must deal with things as we iud them,

is upon US. From the debris Of the old wing

process Of formation--the party which is to re

assuming that Lincoln will be elected in this

But why sbould the Union men of the North

The Union men OF the South are rising in won

United States, the reverend gentleman's native

more than probable that be is looking out for

The country can spare several other abolition

and still manage to keep the market of fanai-

GOVERNOR WISE LAUNCHING Our AGAIN.
That famous son of cbivalry, Governor Wise,
has just issued another manifesto, not forV
column document, but little fellow, ratified
of on half sheet of foolscap. II is brief. but
1t is the trumpet charge, calling Up the chivairy
to battle. This time the Governor takes the
field to fight not to get out of the Union, bat
to stay in. He comes up, however, as q
democratic cbieftain rather late In the day
So far as the Southern democracy, includ-
ing the hitherto invincible Virginia legion, are
concerned, the battle has saFl zen fought
and lost They have destroyer themselves II
the very councils Of war intended for the
purposes of q compact organization against
the common enemy. The best thing now that
Governor Wise can do, therefore is to fall back
upon his old battle cry of ls4o-"The union II

cake of the Union"

THE MYSTERY OF THE JAPANESE Bill
SoLyED.--Tbe taxpayers of the city have been
much exercised by the very large sum of mo-
ney-more than hundred thousand dollars
expended on account of the Japanese recep-
ton, and there has been a general call for the
items of this extensive bill. We understand
that they figure up nearly as follows

The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1860-08-17

Now, this lie pretty heavy bill for ten days
of civic hospitality, bat We must take into ac-
count the fact that the Japanese Embassy was
the 6rst thing OF the kind that had ever dawn
ed upon the astonished gaze of any Western
nation, and that our Aldermen were placed in
a novel position. The public voice demanded,
in view Of the high rank OF the Oriental diplo-
mats and the Importance Of their missien, that
the members of the Corporation should for
once act, dress and generally deport them
selves like Christian gentlemen. Now, it takes
deal Of time and money to teach new tricks to
old dogs. and the less time that is allowed the
more money the operation costs. That was
precisely the case with our Aldermen. They
were called upon to make gentlemen of them
selves at a moments notice, and US it was on
account Of the city that the painful process
was to be gone through with, they undoubtedly
resolved that it was no more than right that the
city should pay the bills. So they arrayed
themselves in broadcloth and fne linen; they
became resplendent in white hats and patent
leather boots and kid gloves. Then, to keep up
the dignity of their new role, they were obliged
limited extent, and generally to cut great
swell. Hence this BILL which is undoubtedly
heavy; but if the money really made gentle
men of the Aldermen, it was well laid out.
They say in England that it takes two genera
tons to make a gentleman, but on the other
side Of the Atlantic they are behind the age,
and we may be able to teach them how to make
ChesteI1elds as well as 10 saw lumber by steam.
We are aware that II is costly experiment, and,
like the Great Eastern, the regeneration of the
Aldermen may not pay after all; but let us give
them chance. However, as the expense has
been incurred, as we have another Prince
coming along pretty soon, and as il is always
better to settle up old scores before mourning
new ones, It may be as well TO pay the Japa-
nese bill, and say no more about it. Only let
the Aldermen bear in mind that their education
has cost us great deal Of money, and that we
expect TO see the result of the outlay in their
manners, which ought to be improved at least q
hundred per cent.

THE PArAGrAY CIaIs.--we see that several
Of the city journals have taken up the subject
Of the claims Of citizens of the United States
upon the Paraguayan government, and COM
mented with more or less severity upon the
decision OF the Commissioners, which is under
stood TO be adverse to the allowance of the
claim. The Commissioner appointed by the
President Hon. Cave Johnson-is O man of
sterling integrity and undoubted honesty.
Long ago he received the catering soubriquet Of
the Watch dog of the Treasury" and if he has
decided that the claims of the Rhode Island
company ought not 70 be allowed we are con-
Gdent that he has good grounds for such action.
Il il alleged that the evidence in favor OF
these claims was examined BY the late
Mr.. Marcy, who approved them This may
or may not be true. If true, il does
not alter the oase. Mr.. Marcy could not,
for obvious reasons, have given the matter
his undivided attention. He always had great
many irons, official and otherwise, In the fire.
Aud so far as integrity is concerned, Mr.. John
sons reputation will not suffer by comparison
with that Of Mr.. Marcy. Then. again, we are
told that the Paraguay claim has been submit.
ted 10 Committees Of both Houses of Congress
and favorably reported upon-a circumstance
which has little or no weight. We all know
how many fraudulent claims. Mexican and
otherwise, have been engineered through CON-
mittees Of c ongress during the last ten years.
The nuisance became 90 intolerable that the
preliminary business Of examining claims upon
the government was entrusted to court espe-
cially constituted for the purpose
Until, then, there is somc tangible evidence
to the contrary and as ye. we have seen none
We shall BE- inclined to believe that Mr..
Cave johnson has done bis duty With rare
6delity and strict honesty, and that the Presi-
dent viii not interfere in any manner with the
decision OF the Commissioners.
