caleb oushing In a right place.

Caleb Cushing delivered a speech in
New Haven few nights since, in which
he defended Slavery and libelled the Re-
publicans in his accustomed style. There
was one thing connected with this speech
which must have been edifying to the
gentleman. He mentioned the name of
VIM. H. Seward, and the New Haven
Palladium describes what followed
"Here singular scene occurred.
large number of the audience applaudcd
the name of Seward, at which the Demo-
Gratis on the platform and elsewhere raised
hiss. Then, for minute, all was up
roar, Kisses on one side and applause on
the other, until the applause absolutely
drowned every other sound, and it was
evident to all that more than two-thirds
of the audience were good Republicans
Mr. Gushing at first looked Surprised he
smiled curious smile, percciying that he
had an unsual audience to deal with, and
at once struck into very moderate tone
of remark. The Democratic leaders on the
platform were also greatly surprised and
disconnected at this sudden revelation,
and whispered together. Mr.. Cushing
went on. He (Seward) is the man who
may be and probably will be the standard
bearer of that party [apPlouse;] it is best
that it should be SO. Here the applause
was completely overwhelming. Well,
gentlemen, l say nothing against Mr..
Seward personally"

A good deal of excitement has lately
been created in fashionable cirles in Paris
by the unprecedented "good luck" of three
or four Russian princes, who have made
the rounds of the clubs and Accomplishments
very large haul. One of their advcrsaries
at the neat little game of lansquenet was
damaged in single sitting to the tune of
two hundred and fifty thousand francs, an
other lost hundred thousand, another fif-
ty, and so on. AT length it began to be
suspected that the strangers practiced a
few slight advantages" aud one victim,
after losing several thousands at q private
room, ventured to observe that he thought
the cards irregular. Hereupon one of the
Russians opened the table drawer, swept
the cards inside, locked it and politely
handed the key to the complainant, at the
same time calling for fresh cards. This
was certainly clever mode of uniting the
suspected cards with those which had been
previously extracted and purposely left in
that very drawer; but the Frenchman had
no means of proving the swindle, and wise
ly held his tongue. A hint of their invar-
liable "luck" having been given to the Po-
lice, the MuscoYite gentry have suddenly
been called away from Paris by urgent bu-
sinesS

The Hancock Meeting.

We give much of our space, to-day, to
| the proceedings of the Republican party
in Hancock county, Virginia; and we most
earnestly hope that every voter on every
hilltop and in every valley of our OPP
pressed western Virginia will faithfully
read and carefully digest the many start
I ling and interesting facts which these pro-
ceedings disclose. Whilst we have never
endorsed that party, yet it is but sheer
Justice to admit that there is more truth
l'thnn poetry in many things asserted in
the preamble and resolutions ofou neigh
bors in Hancock county. We publish
them, first because they defend the rights
of the people of western Virginia; and,
secondly, because they form part of the
current news ofthis section of Virginia.
The people want facts on both sides; and
inasmuch as the democratic newspapers i'll
this 'sneck o. woods" are concealing all
the important facts, in the premises, we
shall do our best to spread facts before the
people. Call US Republican If you
please;-nay, call us an Abolitionist, or
even traitor, and we'll heed it not;-but
we hope not to be called democrat,
while that party stands out as the open
and avowed friend of the proud oppreSsors
of western Virginians! If abolitionism
consists in melting to rebellion, or in
resistance of the laws, there are none such
in n w. Va..-Ro, not eVcn in the Pan
handle! utifabolitionism consists in the
people of western Virginia claiming their
rights at the hands of their eastern
brethren,-rights which they have long
been deprived of-then, there are thous-
ands of such Abolitionists all over western

Mr. ENGLISH. who has just been ap-
pointed United States Marshal for Indiana,
is father of William Fl. English, and thus
grandfather of the famous English Bill"
relating to Kansas in the last Congress-
The appointment gives great dissatisfac-
ton to many of the party but in reply to
an earnest protest from leading admin
istration democrat, the President said, very
sharply, "Thc President, I believe, sir, is
vested with the appointing power, and he
has exercised it. I have no other answer
for you, SIR" The person thus snapped up
has gone to work for Douglas. Senator
Fitch is also indignant, and says he will
never enter the White House again.

No HELP FROM THE DOUGLAS MEN.-The
President is likely to get little aid or COM
fort from the Douglas party, in his troub-
les with the peoples representatives.
The Cleveland PlGindealer opens an article
ON the subject in this style:
ga Presidential protest is a new thing
in the history of this Government. Mr..
Buchanan has been driven to the wall by
a resolution of inquiry passed by u Black
Republican House of Representatives, and
as the President of these United States,
he makes formal protest against the con-
stitutional power of q coordinate branch
of government to catechise him in the
manner and form proposed. His defence
is more technical than truthful, more SEN
sitive than sensible. If he is innocent OF
any completely in the charges preferred, he
should court, not shun investigation. His
objections, however, are all done away by
the matter being referred to the Judiciary
Committee of the House."

ONE of the most singular wagers we
ever heard of, says the Buffalo Courier,
was made in Chicago on the day of the
municipal election in that city.
The bet was between a Water street
merchant and Ned Osborne of the Ire
mont House, the largest cigar and tobacco
dealer in the city, and was to the effect
that if Wentworth was not elected, Os-
borne should have the privilege of kicking
the Water street merchant aforesaid from
the fremont House to Springer street
The day after the election, the merchant
having lost. came to Osborne's store,
and presented his person to him for the
contemplated kicks, aud demanded that
Osborne should take the stakes. Osborne
had been training his right leg all the pre-
vious day, and had armed his foot with a
heavy cowhide boot, with soles as thick as
two clapboards. The merchant started up
by the fremont, Osborne delivering II
heavy kick as he started, but drew back
his foot with spasmodic action and
paroxysm of countenance absolutely pitt
full. He tried another one, but the loser
flinched not, and kept on his way undis-
turbcd by the volley he had received.
The result of this was worse than the
first, and he fairly curled up on the ground
and howled with pain. The merchant
stopped and calmly inquired: "Why don't
YOU take the stakes ?" "What have you
got in the basement of your pants 2" cried
Ned "AIiIwaukee bricks" shouted the
merchant, "and we arn't within milo of
Springer street yet" Osborne subsidized,
paid the champagne, and has been wearing
a list slipper ever since.

One ofthe most important land cases
from California-the United States agt. ]
R. Bolton-involving interests estimated at
nearly $40, 900, 900, and covering a large
part Of San Francisco, was commenced in
the Supreme Court at Washington last
week. William B. Reed, of Philadelphia,
who is associated with the Attorney Cen
eral, opened for the government, and was
followed on the other side by Mason Camp
bell, of Baltimore. Robert ]. Walker will
speak next, and the argument be closed by
Mr. Black The case rests upon an alleged
Mexican grant made to Senior Santillan in
1916, which was assigned to Mr.. Bolton,
and by him conveyed to Messrs Palmer
Cock. L Co. who sold it to the San Fran
cisco Land Association of Philadelphia
The government contends that the grant
was fraud, being ante-dated four years.
Part of this very tract was covered by Lii
montour's claim, recently exposed in Cali
fornia, and by others who assert title with
equal assurance. The Board of Land
Commissioners and the District Court in
California both sustained the validity of
the grant to Senior Santilan.

20 QUA Democratic friends crow most
Justify over the result of the Connecticut
and Rhode Island elections. InConuecticut
the gain in the aggregate of votes over the
Presidential election of 1856 is 5000, and
the gain over the Congressional election
of 1853 almost 10000. 1t is possible that
half of this increase is natural and genuine,
that thousand more votes are those of
citizens made quite recently out of foreign
material, and that two or three thousand
voted who had no right whatever to do SO.
1t is great difficulty in the case not to
know how many votes the democrats will
obtain in any such extreme case, nor to
define the extent of the fraud until Con-
gressional Committee can examine it.
Their victory is as good for popular effect
if it costs three thousand illegal votes as if
it cost but dozen. No scruples or hesita-
ton check their exultation, or modify the
moral they draw from casual success,
such as those in the last Congressional
election, and in the Connecticut and
Rhode Island contests. 1t has come to be
a rule with them to carry any doubtful
district or State by any means whatever,
and it is not often practicable to count up
the illegal votes by Committee on Elec-
tons. 1t should not be forgotten that a
democratic triumph is rarely to be credit
ed as such until a committee has reviewed
it, and court of competent judges affirm
ed it.

rs wee % .hs Prince oe wales.

ThS yAS4S 90 enc France o. "SSSSs
1t is finally announced by the Queen that
she has consented to her sons visit to
Canada, and she commends him to the re-
CARDS of her loyal subjects. But the
London Times, in article on the subject,
| recommends the young gentlemanto extend
his travels to the United States. 1t says:
SIT would be a matter of regret if the
Prince of Wales, satisfied with the homage
of the Canadians, should neglect to visit
the Republic which now plays so great a
part in the world. We do not, of course
anticipate in any case that the Prince
would return to England without having
set foot on the United States territory; but
there are different was of visiting coun-
try, and, as none repays attentive obserTa-
ton more than the American Republic, so
none is likely to be so i'll understood by
mere hying tourist. America is not a
country of museums and palaces, to be
done in so many days with MurrdyS
Handbook. It's interest consists IN It's peo-
pie, in the phases of civilization through
which they are passing, in the political
and commercial activity which they DIS
play, in their energy and restlessness, their
greatness and their weaknesses. Although
we cannot expect that youth in his nine
teenth year should be able to appreciate
the American Commonwealth, yet VIC feel
sure that journey through the United
States, and some association with the peo-
pie would not be lost labor. OF kind and
courteous reception the son of Queen Vic
torta may be very sure. The interest of
Americans in the descendants of the for
mer ruler of their country is second only
to that of Englishmen themselves, and
whatever may have been formerly the case,
the feeling is now one of goodwill and
sympathy. The Prince of Wales might
find both instruction and recreation in
visit to the Atlantic cities, whether 1t be
New York in all its ambitious and span
new splendor or it's more quiet rivals
There is much to be learnt from few
weeks of such trayel-more than royal
parsonage may ever afterwards have an
opportuny of learning. One who is called
to such high destinies, and who will have
such opportunities of directing the tastes
of his countrymen, may advantageousiy
study the progress in the arts of life by Il
people thrown, as it were but yesterday,
on the shores of new continent, pro-
gress not less wonderful than their COM
mercial prosperity. If the Prince OF Wales
should further visit the President of the
United States at Washington, the courtesy
will, we feel sure, be appreciated, and tend
to draw closer the bonds which unite the
two countries"
