THE SrEAGERs.-ln our issue of yesterday,
We reported that the crew of the U. S. Fri
gate Merrimac would not be paid off until
next Tuesday-we done SO on the authority
OF an officer belonging on board, and when
we made the report, We done so under the
impression that our authority was good, but
as it turns out, we were mistaken. The
Parser commenced paying of the crew yes
terday morning at ten o'clock, and was
kept busy until e'clsck in the afternoon,
when the whole party were allowed to go
on shore, just having barely time enough to
get their baggage transferred from ship to
ship. The Steamer Adelaide bound for Bal
timore carried away about two hundred and
fifty. The Steamer S. R. Spaulding, bound
\ for Boston, took about one hundred and tit-
ty, and the Yorktown, bound for N. York,
about one hundred. We hear several very
ugly rumors af1oat concerning the paying of
Of the crew of the Merrimac, which we will
give publicit4 as soon as the facts are prov

MEETING OF THE COMMON CouNoIL- What's
The .Motter ?-According to announcement,
The Portsmouth Council met last night, and
among other resolutions it was resolved that
the Mayors salary shall in future be two
hundred and eighty dollars less than the pay
received by him; also the sum OF two hun
bred and fifty dollars be deducted from the
Clerks pay; also the sum of fifty dollars
from Inspector Grimes pay, and one hun
bred dollars from the pay OF the Captiin OF
Police; but the worst of all, the night watch
were reduced to five men. Gentlemen OF the
Council, in all dae difference to your opin-
ions, we ask you what good can five men do
towards watching city the size Of Ports
mouth, place covering one mile square,
Why, sirs, if small sized riot was to take
place at night, it would require at least
your number of watchmen to quell it, and
while they were doing their duty, ii another
row should occur a short distance off, who
would be about to attend to it. You, gen.
tlemen.
The gentlemen of the Council who vot ed
for the decrease in the night watch we'll
know that many houses in Portsmouth have
been fired by the torch of the incendiary,
and trom appearances they are led to be-
iieve there are persons still lurking in their
midst who will commit those midnight de-
predations which cause many families to
bow down to the earth in poverty. !But how
shall these things be found out 1t must
be done by the watch at night, and if there
is an alteration in that body we think it
should be on the increase and not otherwise.
We especially call upon the Council to re-
consider the act at their aext meeting, and
if it is not their wish to increase the origi-
nal number OF watchmen, not to deere ase
it; and we feel satisfied that if the vote OF
the citizons of Portsmouth was taken on the
question, they would decide against their

We lind for instance, on Sundays number
OF small boys congregrated before the differ

actually under the effects of intoxication,
proving nuisance to the city and disgrace

On street corners we witness with pity q
ents, how is it that you can so blindly suffer
your children to thus lay the foundation Of
a career which must soon or later lead them
to an ignominious end.
Now, boys, word for you. What en-
joyment can you derive from sach doings;
take our word for it that you will bitterly
regret your present course in years to come,
when you will have arrived at the age of
maturity and discretion, with responsible

p In our paper Of the 10th we propounded

p In our paper Of the 10th we propounded a
dozen or so queries to our neighbor down street,
not one Of which docs he make the least effort to
answer. for the good and sufficient reason, we sup
pose. that he could not without damaging himself
and party more than by keeping silent. We asked
him, among others, what "The best Clerk Mar
shall County ever had was about. during the four
years he in Office that he did not discover his
predecessors defalcation7 We again call upon him
to answer this query, or admit by his silence that
Mr.. Packard was derelict in duty.
He, Thompson, insists upon our answering his
question: "Do you know why Ccrbaley's record
was not examined 6rst7'' though it were mat
ter Of Importance. We have never inquired of
the Republican officers why they first examined
Packard's record, but presume they did SO, first,
because Packard had failed to pay over on the first
Of January as the law required, which induced
them to examine TO see If he had no money in his
hands belonging to the county; and second, be
cause they supposed the Democratic officers would
have discovered the defalcation had Corbaley been
derelict in this respect; but, it seems they gave
the Democratic officials more credit than they were
justly entitled to. The examination revealed the
startling fact that "The best Clerk Marshall Coun-
ty ever had" was defaulter for 500 OOu How
their attention was called to Corbabley's record

Township Conventions.

The Republicans in some of the Townships, we
understand. have called meetings to appoint dele
gates to the Mass Convention to be held in this
place on the % Of next month"; Although this Is
not necessary, vet it will make no difference, pro-
vided the Republicans who may choose to attend
the Mass Convention from those townships are
allowed to participate.
The object of the Mass Convention is to give
every Republican in the county opportunity to
participate in the selection of candidates who may
wish to do so. This mode of selecting candidates,
every township is given its relative strength ac-
cordng to the number OF votes given in each to
Mr.. Colfax in 1858, combines all the advantages
of Delegate Convention. and avoids some of the
objections which have been urged against the lat
ter.
Last year, according to the apportionment sug-
gested by the Central Committee, and adopted b.
the Convention, q votes for every 100 Republi-
can votes cast in each township,) Union had 7,
Center %, Green II, Tippecanoe III, Bourbon IA,
German 10, North I, Polk Z, West G. Shortly
before the Convention was held the new Township
of Walnut was organised out of portions Of Green
and Tippecanoe, but, it was arranged. We believe,
by the Convention, that Green and Walnut should
be allowed IL votes between them and Tippeca-
canoe IL. 1t will be necessary, however, we pre-
sumo to re-apportion these three townships this
rear upon some basis, the organization of Wal
nut makes quite difference in the strength both
of Green and Tippecanoe At the election last
fall Pershing received in Green 81 votes, in VOL
nut 100 and in Tppecanoe 81.
The Central Committee supposed that almost
every Republican in the County would, this year.
desire to attend the County Convention for the
purpose of assisting in putting the ball in motion,
and therefore called Mass Convention so as to
afford all an opportunity TO participate.
Then, turn out, friends of freedom, in your
strength, and show by your energy and zeal that
you are determined to route the tax. caters both
in the State and Nation. Come with music and
banners. Bring your wives aud daughters along!
The women. God bless them, feel deep interest

sence and heavenly smiles the efforts Of their hus

didato FOR Congress. Mr.. Reeve is fluent speak
er and much ADLER man than the gentleman the
Democracy nominated for that Office two yoars
ago. Whether Mr.. r. will consent to spend his
time and money in such hopeless race remains to
be seen. He can get the nomination, we guess,
without any trouble, if he wants it. We NAV.
however, be mistaken in this superstition. Such
is the thirst among Democrats for Office that the
honor of running for one even. when there is not
the least prospect Of success, affords them conside.
rable satisfaction In this respect they remind us
Of an old topper We knew down Soutlr.-He applied
to liquor agent during the existence of the pro-
hibitory law for pint of whiskey, saying he want
cd it for medical purposes. The agent being a.
ware OF his Incorporate habits refused to let him
have any. Finally, after begging the agent for
some tine, in vain. to relent, he said: "Well,

1t Is hoped that every County in the District
viii be largely represented The hospitality of
the citizens Of Plymouth, We have no doubt, will
be exerted to accommodate all who may attend.
