D talk about for full week. The City Charter
as been mended SO often to snit circumstances,
hat it now presents beautiful patchwork to take

riots of Democracy, and after the mendng, those
errible fellows, the Know Nothings came in power
md turned the mending to their own profit.
On counting noses in the Legislature Of '56, it
vas found that the Democrats had a majority
sgain, and they mended the Charter in several
tracked places, and passed the election law, an
autoeratic assumption of power never accom-
plished before by any coup d'etat in any country.
Y was found very soon after that this would not
do. Red Bill, Black Jack and several other Thugs
took possession of the polls-beat away FIVE thou

A BLOODY TRAeEDY.--A New York paper has
the following:
Great excitement has been caused during the
past two or three days in and around Port Even,
Ulster county, by bloody ARRAY which occurred
on the ice near that village, on Saturday afternoon
last. The facts, as near as our informant can
learn, are as follows: A party of three young men
from Esopus, Ulster county, two brothers and
their friend, took sail in an ice boat on the river
on Saturday afternoon, about o'clock. On ar
irving opposite Port Even, they fastened the boat
70 the dock, and went into d tavern to drink
While there, three lrishmen residing in Port Even
took possession Of the boat and sailed around
One of the brothers, seeing them in the middle
OF the river, went to them and ordered them out
Angry words ensued, when the young man seized
the tiIler and threatened to drive them out when
one Of the Irishmen drew knife and stabbed him
in the breast inilictiBg mortal wound. The whole
was witnessed from the shore by tile remaining
brother and his friend, when both rushed to the as
sistance of the injured man. On arriving at where
he lay, they found him lying inscnsible when thay
rushed upon the Irishman, swearing vengeance.
On arriving at the boat, of the Irshmen seized
the tiller and struck the friend Of the brothers
terrible blow upon his head, and he fell, nsensible,
upon the ice. He was alive at last accounts but
his recovery is despaired of.
The remaining one then started for the tavern.
and obtaining pistol, returned to the boat and
