Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, it is pretty well under
stood, is going to do a much more sensible thing
than heading the forlorn hope of political party
which hasn't the ghost of a chance of ever making
him President of the United Staes;-that is to say
he is going to take unto himself wife. The lady
is a South Caronian, and enjoys a very respectable
literary reputation there. The time for the nuptals
is not definitely fixed yet but it will probably be
about Christmas

An IncOmDrehensibIe Government.

We have been trying for long time to
discover the theory, Or principle, or rule
which governs our police administration, but
the more we investigate the more it puzzles.
If girls are out after dark, without male at
tendants, the Mayor orders their arrest, as
he concludes that they are in pursuit of male
attendants, the intention, and not the act,
being the offense.
This seems consistent. 1t is generally con-
ceded that crime consists in the intention.
But the other night couple of ballet-girls
were going home without male escort A
benevolent man insisted on eseorting them ;
and for this the police took him, and after
cooling his ardOr in the Station house over
night, brought him before the Police Judge,
who fined him $50.
We say, "a benevolent mar" " for he un-
doubtedly knew that the girls were liable to
arrest for being without male escort, and
wished to relieve them from that predica-
ment. 1t is very queer The police arrest
girls for not having male attendants, and for
wanting male attendants; aud arrest men
for wanting to attend them. We can not
see into it.
