for amusing himself in the same manner, was

for further hearing. Edward Gray, another

stealing wood-ssw, and committed to Jail for
court. John Gray, (also colored,) for indulg-
ing in drunkenness and profanity, was requested
"fork over" $4.l4 fine and costs the "need-
full not being forthcoming, John was sent to

The Third City in the World.

The labor of the Census Marshals in New
York city, although not complete, indicates
pretty clearly that the population of theme
tropolis at the present time is nine hundred
and fifty thousand, an increase of four hum
dred and thirty-four thousand, four hundred
and fiity-three over the population as shown
by the census of 1850. This return refers
to the city proper only, comprised within
the limits of the Manhattan Island. If we
take the Metropolitan Police District,
which is composed of the counties of New
York, Kings, (Brooklyn) Richmond and
Westchester, all of which may be said to
comprise New York, the population will
turn ont to be close upon million and a
half. Thus it will count as the third city
on the Globe in population, exclusive of
Canton, Jeddo, and it may possibly be one
or two other Asiatic cities. London, Paris
and New York, take the lead in consecutive
order over all the cities of the Christian
World, and the growth of New York has
been more rapid and wonderful than that
of either of the European capitals. The
Herald says it would not be surprised if, in
quarter Of century they should become
the first city in the Christian World.

Another Refractory Official.

1ohn Dawson, who is chairman of the
Breckenridge executive committee for Ohio.
addressed a circular to H. Mickey. post
master at Shelby, stating that Breckin>
ridge movement had been inaugurated in
that State; that the vital PRINCIPLES of the
Democratic party were at stake and per-
sons occupying official positions were ex-
pected to contribute to the expenses of the
campaign. He hopes, therefore, that Mickey
will not think two dollars is too large a sum
for him to advance. Hishopes are all blasted
by the patriotic reply of Mickey, from
which we make the following extract:
spurn your demand as an offered brittle for
the paltry place Of teW official crumbs. wear
an official halter around my neck; | learned
the principles of Democracy from my mother
knee ; | have been Democrat all my life and
expect to die one. l will do all / am able in
any honorable way to sustain and carry out
those principles, and uphold the nationality of
the Democratic party in the election of our
noble standard bearers, Stephen A. Douglas
and Hershel V. johnson. If | cannot do this
and longer hold my official station as P NJ. of
the little village Of Shelby, without offending
the powers that be, then no longer desire the
position; they may cut off my Douglas head.

A Modest Proposition from a Modest
Man.

Mr.. JAMES w. TAYLOR, who now holds,
and has held for six months past, the Office of
Special Agent of the U. S. Treasury De-
partment, at a salary of sil dollars per day,
attempted to render THE OLD PUBLIC
FUNCTIONARY, slight service last
evening, in an address delivered at Bridge
Square, before a few dozen of ofice.hold-
ers and Black Republicans. He pro-
poses-Mr. TAYLOR does-to run for
electors SIBLEY and PHELPS, to vote for
DOUGLAS, and BECKER and EDGERToN, I've
gods y to vote for BRECKINRIDGE, or, for
whoever the % best interests of the Democ-
racy require" The Congressman and State
officers, he desires-Mr. TAYLOR does-to
equally divide between the Democrats and
the Secessionsts The Boilers have evi>
IDENTIFY heard from Kentucky and Missouri.
The U. S. Special Agents proposition is
ridiculous, not to say insulting to every
Democrat in Minnesota and that's about
all the notice it demands.-Daiy, 18th.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1860-08-24

Hon. j. Il. RossER.-We are glad to learn
that this gentleman is doing gallant service
for DOUGLAS and JOHNSON in Virginia. We
notice in the Richmond Inder, very compli.
mentary notices of addresses delivered by
Mr.. RossER, at various County Conventions
held in Southeastern Virginia, to select del
egates to the Staunton State Convention.
What a contrast between RossER and
BECKER! The former not only adhered to
the National Convention, and carried out
the will Of the people of Minnesota, but
has gaIlantly taken the stump in slave
State for DOUGLAS and intervention.
The latter, resting under heavy weight OF
obligation to the generous Democracy of
Minnesota, trampled upon the will of his
constituents, bolted from the National
Convention, and allied himself with the
Disunionists in their attempts to sunder the
Democratic party. And he has done all
this, for filthy lucre.

The Union and Harmony Proposition.
The proposition for fusion of the DoUG-

The proposition for fusion of the DouG-
LAS and BRECKENRIDGE elements in Mime
sofa, as made by Mr.. Buchanan Reel.
procity Treaty Agent, with Six Dollar
per diem, would be q ridiculous one if it
were honestly made; it is dishonest because
it is hypocritical. No such proposal is
made by the Breckinridgers in any States
where DOUGLAS could be benefited by its
acceptance. The conduct of the Boilers
elsewhere reveals the animus of their action
here.
At the very time the Administration
members of the Pennsylvania Committee
were recommending fusion in that State,
the same faction in Maryland struck off
from their electoral ticket the names of two
DOUGLAS Democrats for the sole reason
that they were such. In New York, the
Administration clique held State Conven-
ton, in advance of the regular Democratic
Convention, and nominated full BRECKIN-
RIDGE electoral ticket. And so, while in
some States the Secessionists advocate fu-
sion, in others they repudiate it. In all
cases their object is the same-to insure the
defeat of DOUGLAS. Their game in this
State is fusion. They are right in their
calculation that such policy would defeat
DOUGLAS they know that he can be beaten
by no other means. But their game won't
win. The folly of the friends of DOUGLAS is
not equal to the impudence of the Breckin-
ridgers. TAYLOR will hardly earn his Six
Dollars day on that programme.
