FrrzrArHcx DEcrnxs-A GREAT Loss TO THE
DOUGLAS TrcxEr.-Senator Fitzpatrick Of Ala
bams, the original nominee Of The Douglas par
" for Vice President, has declined that honor,
and Mr.. Herchel v. johnson, Of Georgia, takes
bis place. This Is loss both ways 10 Mr..
Douglas. First, there Is something Of the
"sweet Irish brogue" In che name Of Fitz-
patrick. He would have done very well for .
Iineai descendant Of s. Patrick ct least gill
after the election. A Dublin paper has shown
that Caribaldi h descendant Of an Irishman
named Garry Baldwin How easy, then, 10
prove Fitzpatrick chip Of the patron Saint Of
The ould sod. But Fitzpatrick has refused this
use Of bis name, and this gives Mr.. Yancey
another victory over Douglas In the next
place, If we mistake not Herschel v. johnson
was red hot secessionist In 1861, and this puts
. stop 10 the Douglas cry Of disunionists"
against the other wing Of The party. How often

thing turns against him. In such case "it

THE STREET DEPARTMENT AND THE COMMON
CorNcu.-Several contracts for repairing and
improving the streets have been accepted by the
Street Commissioner and Comptroller within a
few months past; but, owing to the dilatoriness
of the Common Council in taking action upon
them, the work has not gone on These con-
tracts, unfortunately require confirmation by
the Common Council before they can be acted
upon, and thus many useful and necessary pub
lie works are retarded in consequence Of the
prevailing system in that body never to confirm
anything until arrangements ore made to suit
themselves.
In some instances II Is found more convenient
To have work done without any contract at all,
as in the case Of cleaning the streets, which the
City Inspector does on his own responsibility;
but work in the Street Department, being less
urgent, cannot 80 readily be undertaken in this
way II Is to be hoped that when the Aldermen
get through with boring the japanese they will
give a little attention TO the business Of the
Street Commissioners Department There is a
large amount Of work to be done, and the sum
mer should not be allowed to pass away without
completing it.

Monday night, were regular article of com
merce in the market, and brought from ten 10
forty dollars apiece. Several parties, II ap-

CLEAN SrREErs AND HEMrHY CTr.-The
mortality report Of the City Inspector for last
week shows dimInution In the deaths In this
city greater than during The same period for The
last three or four years. This fact Is mainly
due 10 the efficient manner in which the City In
spector himself Is conducting the Affairs Of his
department From the peculiar location ofNew
York--iss facilities for sewerage and vensils-

RELIGION on BOARD THE NnoARA.-It IL
very refreshing to be informed, as we are by a
pious contemporary, that the rather uphill work
of the conversion Of The japanese, which was
commenced BY some good people in Washington,
and since carried on In series Of tract Skin
mishes, IL TO be continued on board the frigate

A Jon FOR New YoRx MEcHAMos.-The direc-
tors of the Great Ship Company have sent the
Great Eastern to sea with foul bottom, that
materially retards her speed, because they had
no dock large enough to dock her, and John
Bull had not sufficient ingenuity TO cleanse 1t
without dock. We must send her back from
here with clean bottom, in order 10 show our
cousins across the water that in New York
some things can be done "a well "a Others. We
have plenty Of submarine contractors, men In
armor for working under water, and oil sorts of
contrivances for amphibious purposes, and we
call upon them to come forward and clean the
bottom Of the Great Eastern. Our New York
mechanics always have been equal to every de-
msnd upon them. and we do not believe they
will be beaten now.

Tx DEPARTURE OF THE JAPASEsE.-It is an
nounced, on the authority of the Naval Commis-
sioners, that the steam frigate Niagara, which is
to convey the Japanese Ambassadors and suite
TO their beloved Nippon. is now quite ready for
sea Immense packages of luggage marked in
the Japanese character are now being slowed
away between the Niagara's decks, and the ser
wants OF the Embassy are hard at work
packing up for the start The Ambassa-
doris will embark on Friday and sail on
Saturday of this week, having accomplished
all the objects Of their special mission.
The currency question, If not definitely settled,
has been put in train 80 that the greatest obsta-
Gle in the way Of Western intercourse with the
East may be considered as virtually done away
with.
We have the best authority for stating that
the Japanese princes will leave our shores with
the most favorable impressions Of the country in
general, and of the metropolis In particular.
The remembrance Of the little contreonps al
Baltimore and Philadelphia has been quite OBJ
liberated by the magnihcencc Of their metropo.
Titan surroundings. They have been exceed
ingly gratifed with their superb quarters at the
Metropolitan Hotel, and by the unremittins
courtesies Of the Messrs. Leland. The neat
workshops and manufactures Of New York, the
splendid shops, The superb life-panorama Of
Broadway, the private entertainments which
have been given them by Mr.. Belmont and other
citizens, have interested the Ambassadors ex-
ceedingly. Altogether they regard their stay In
the Jeddo Of America as the browning glory of
their Western voyage.
Whatever may be the result of the EN-.
bassy, 30 far az commerce Is concerned,
the metropolis has performed its portion Of the
work well, like the dowager who took her
daughters TO hear Sydney Smith preach, and not
being able TO get In, went away, remarking,
"well, my dears, II can't be said that we have
not done the correct thing, at ell events" SO
we have done, 30 far as money goes, the corrcc,
thing by the japanese. They have had right
royal reception-one worthy Of their rank and Of
the populous and industrious nation which they
represent They carry away with them hume.
rous fine specimens Of American manufactures
sewing machines, watches, firearms and other
articles, useful and ornamental From this aus
picious beginning, II seems 10 us, there must
spring lucrative trade. Before many months
shall have elapsed. the Yankee schooncr's sharp
nose will be poked into every accessible ia
psnesc port, and American goods will be as
common In the marts Of Jeddo as In the bazaars
of Havana or Rio Janeiro. Under these
circumstances we can afford to pay pretty
good sum for the Japanese reception without
grumbling Our merchants will get 1t all back
again before great while.

The CAMPAIGN AND THE WAsHNGroS ORGATs.--
The Washington party organs are among the
last remaining excrescences of that anccn re-
CINE in our political affairs which ruled the
country before the independent press, railroads
and the telegraph were brought into the general
service of mankind. But these excrescenccs at
Washington have continued to exist upon the
drippings and pickings and stealings Of the
public printing, and being now altogether
taken away by the new Law establishing a
government printing once, what are these spoils
organs TO dos They must expire, or brush up
and keep pace with. the world around them.
The old Isteuigence will probably hang on
for long time yet, and the Constitution will, we
suppose, be kept above water while Bowman has
the Senate printing to wit, till the 4th Of March
next. This miserable organ has been great
incubus upon Mr.. Buchanan's administration.
Bowman, from his printing spoils jobbing and
trading with Wendell and Rice, and all that set.
should have been sent packing home long ago.
The good nature Of Mr.. Buchanan overruled the
dictates Of wisdom in this matter, and has con-
sequently given him world Of trouble.
But the unluckicst OF all these Washington
party organs Is that unfortunate concern called
originally the &otes, but latterly the States and
Union. How II has been kept upon Its legs for
the last two or three years is a mystery We
suspect thatit Is whistle for which Mr. Douglas
has paid very dearly; but what will II do now.
Its future Is dead blank. II has nothing TO
expect from the next administration, for Mr..
Douglas will have nothing 10 give. We dare
say that the concern, II mot already defuact,
will perish from sheer Starvation very soon, and
that BY the eth Of March next only the old In
scQigexce~ and the little cnterprising Star will
be left of all the existing newspapers Of Wash
ington.
