MORE TNKERrYa WITH THE METROPOLITAN
PoIIcE-Our Albany correspondent informs
us that an unsuccessful attempt was made in
the Senate on Wednesday to get up Mr.. Oakley
Halls Police bill, and to have it assigned az
the special order for the evening session. It
cannot be that the Senator'S have become
ashamed Of their continuous raids upon the
city taxpayers, and that they are going to let
go fine q thing as this Oakley Hall job slip
through their fingers. Mr.. Halls new bill pro-
poses reorganization Of the police, and an
increase in the expenditure Of that department
the triling amount Of seven hundred thou
sand dollars. The old police, which was cali
ed all sorts Of bad names, did the same work
as that which the Metropolitans perform for
rhree quarters Of million; that expense has
been swelled to nearly q million, and now II
e proposed to add seven hundred thousand
more to the burden which the taxpayers must
carry for police that is not only inefficient,
but which is used as q political machine by
the black republican organization Of this city
The Albany lobby has spared no pains to gel
the new police bill through, and has even gone
30 far az to send some Of the rural Senators to
see the dcns and sinks and stews Of the city,
under police protection. No more affecdonate
relations could exist between brothers and sic
tiers than those which are maintained between
the police and the keepers Of gambling bells

on the other side; for whatever may be his
faults, 1t may with truth be said Of the French
Emperor that he has done more for the
cause Of European democracy during his brief
career than has been effected by oil its pro-
fessed apostles and leaders.

PUBLIC GHosTs-THE LAST NSw SPIRITUAL
MAN1FEsTAToNs.-We copy from two of our city
contemporaries accounts of several marvellous
spectral visitations, of which the Astor Library
and the Historical Society have been the favor.
ed localities. After temporary sojourn in
dingy back parlors and mysterious attics with
their feed interpreters, it seems that the spirits
are growing holder and are venturing hardly
into public places. We always suspected, fsom
the unsatisfactory answers received through
mediums, that the intelligence of these ghcstly
bahblers was of the most limited kind, We
eglad to observe that they themselves are
becoming conscious of the fact, from the-dispo-
sition which they at presens evince to cultivate
their understandings. Such we presume to
be the object of their visits to our public book
collections; for We should hardly think 1t worth
their while specializing On the chances Of their
overtaking and fHghtening belated librarian.
Ghost stories are NO novelty in this city.
We have been hearing constantly Of them for
years past, sometimes in one shape and some
times in another, accordingly as they favored
some particular theory or creed At no time,
however, have these supernatural wonders been
more actively circulated than since the publ
cation of Robert Dale Ovens last book. 1t
was the same in England when Mr.. Groves
"Njght Side Of Nature" made its appearance
Every one had ghost story to relate, either
of his own or somebody else's experience.
The result, of course, has been to unsettle the
minds of many, and to render them ready to
accept the strange doctrines and beliefs which
fanatics erected upon these stories. Hence the
number of new religions and isns which, in this
country, have started up within the last dozen
years.
This tendency, and some of the phenomena
on which it is based, are to be accounted for
by scientific causes. Our planetary system has
motion of itself, and in it, revolutions it
sometimes takes NJ into . new region, from
whence we receive an additional wave Of that
imponderable and mysterious fluid, call it cleo
ricity, magnetism, or odic force, which exer.
cises disturbing influence over our physical
and mental condition, and produces many of
the effects which are looked upon as superna-
tnral. We are probably within the sphere q
that influence now; otherwise 1t would b., diff
cult to account for the fact Of 30 many respect
able and otherwise sane individrAis openl,
avowing their belief inappsritoxs and the pos
sibility Of establishing coTmunicsHons wiz
the spirits Of The dead.

DECAY or MEXICAN CIrIEs.-A cit.
izen of Mexico, who was born and
brought up in that country. has recent
ly travelled through the most populous
part of it, and gives the result Of his
observations as follows:
The city Of Mexico has lost its pris-
tine beauty. and to-day it feels the evils
Of civil war more than any other city
in the country. It's streets are dirty,
it, buildings dilapidated !; the people
unsettled, and martial law approximate
ing to moblaw, rules supreme. Indeed
we need not stop at the city Of Mexico
to speak Of its dissolution, but depart
ing from the gates, and proceeding
down National Road through Pusbla,
JaIappa and erinterzaediate villages
which once approximated toeisilizatiOn
and thrift, nothing now is TO be seen
but the most conclusive evidences Of
the utter poverty brought shout By the
existing state Of political affairs.

SIoKESINa HUHBUG.-The State
Legislatures Of Kentucky and Tennes-
see have been on visit to that of Ohio
where they have met. also, thai Of In
diana. The Western papers sre filed
with accounts of the doings Of these
wandering Legislators, and the reports
of what the speakers have uttered re-
veal far more than the usual amount of
twaddle, and sentimental humbug and
nonsense, which the country is always
dosed with on such occasions. The
representatives of the shareholders Of
Tennessee and Kentucky have been
hob nobbing and exchanging compli-
ments with the ultra Black Republi-
cans of Ohio, who would steal the me-
gro servants which any Of them should
be silly enough to carry along to brush
their clothes, and everybody has been
assuring everybody else, how devoted
everybody WAS 70 the Union, and how
monstrous wicked . thing it would be
for anybody 10 wish 10 break It mp, for
any reason whatsoever, and, TO cap the
climax Of the folly which rules the
hour, Gov. Morgan and the intense
Black Republicans Of the New York
Assembly, who are ON the eve of pass
ing now, what they barely failed to eff
feet last year, namely, Personal Lib
.erty Bill, as odions and insulting to
the slave States as that of Mazsachu-
sets, have teIegraphed unanimous in
EitatioDs to the Legislatures of the four
States; now at Colambus, that they
want to see them at Albany, in ORDER
that the same turgid and farcical
speeches and ceremonies may be enac-
ted there.
This is all the merest nonsense and
purility, and a nutshell would easily
contain all the good that can possibly
grow out of it in the way of reform of
Of Northern sectional and aggressive
Legislation agsinst the very people
whom their Southern guests repre-
sent. The Legislators of Kentucky

AZ A writer of the New Orleans
Crescent makes the following sensible
remarks:
1--WE have yielded 70 much already,
and it is to that score that We may at
tribute the present alarming state of
the country. Hwe had resisted the
falsehood that slavery is wrong-if we
had resisted the ordinance to exclude
our property from the Northwestern
territory, If We had rebelled when
Congress declared traffic in slaves to
piracy, we should now stand in a bet
ter light before the world than as self
stultifying apologists for former erro-
neous admissions, beggars for justice
and our rights, and self anointed Grim

"a. On the outside viii be found an
article in defence of dueling. In the
present age Of smooth-tongue syco-
phaney and spianiel-licking c.war-
dice such an article viii be looked upon
by some with holy horrorl Neverthe
less, there are good many sound truths
in it which no one can possibly deny,
with any regard to frankness and truth
We look upon fighting as obnoxious in
the eyes of good men !; but as things
are so arranged that men will, in the
course of human events, occasionly in
dulge in such practices, it is reasonably
that it should be done fairly. Dueling
never has, in our estimation, been the
case of multiplying lighting; but rath-
er to debar its progress. We do most
conscientiously believe thatif the dis
reimbursement now resting on the code
of honor was lifted tomorrow, it would
be more likely to decrease rather than
increase fghtbing.
In the first place, if everything is fair
and equal. the fighting of a duel is the
best mode of settling a difficulty. If
two men have a street difficulty, and
one or the other is killed or wounded,
the one that has the money /" to pay
for his meaness," always fares better in
the eyes of the law, than his ''unlucky'
antsgnoist---no matter If the monied
culprit is in the wrong. The rich OPP
press the poor, for they have
the congratulations of knowing that
their wealth and Oppulenee will make
crevice in the law large enough for
them to creep out unframed. There is
deal Of sham bravery in this age !;
there are great many men who desire
to appear to the world as dangerous
brave and defying; they are generally
towards, and when probed to the bot
tom prove to be as corrupt as eorrup-
ton can be. Again, there are eonstitu-
tional towards, who only wait to get the
Law on their side, who would then slay
their antagonist without even any prov
ocation. Such a man is q murderer at
heart; mean man who would not hesi>
tate to stoop to the lowest act of mean
ness found in the catalogue Of crime.
And further, there is what We may call
the moral bully, or religious coward
a man who insults the feelings the good
and true, and then shirks himself from
the responsibility by backing behiud'
| the pulpit, or hiding behind his wife's
pettieoat. The heart of such a man
if thoroughly analysed, would vie with
the blacklist corruption of hell It
shows that be has murder in his heart
but is deferred from doing it by COW
ardice. not the love of his fellow men,
} or reverence of christianity, for The
latter would have taught him not to Of

the world over, and you willnever int
; q more contemplate subject than the
> "christian coward )" such a man vii
offer an insult and then shield his putrit
carcass from the naerIted chastiseraen
behind the welcome folds of too confid
