A New York Democratic Candidate
Declines Running.

The Hon. LYMAN TREMAINE, a lifelong
Democrat, and an eminent lawyer, declines
the nomination rendered him by the Demo-
cratic party of New York, for the reason
that be considers the position assumed by
that party to be unpatriotic, and calculated
to embarrass the Government, and encour-
age rebellion. So the true men, everywhere,
are leaving the unseaworthy political hulk.

Trustees of the Public schools.

GentleDen:-The annual election for School
Trustees is provided by law to take place on
Saturday, April 9th. Enclosed are printed bills
calling for such election. Please post them in
conspicuous places within your respective Dis
tricts, and urge the people to choose their own
school officers, and relieve the Superintendent
of the duty and responsibility of making selec-
tions for them. And permit, gentlemen, the
undersigned to rely on your hearty cooperation
in carving out the benifcent system of pubhc
Misunderstanding for the schools, skilltul
and experienced teachers, moral and exemplary
individuals, whose department should be con-
slant and shining example for youthful imita-
ton. and whose precepts and practice will IN
culcate, not only love Of learning, but even
greater love of virtue and morality; teaching
them to regard the crimes, vices and folhes, so
often perpetrated, and so openly and constantly
exposed to public gaze, as beacon lights to warn
their youthful steps far from such pollution and
degradation. Promote the joyous sports OF the
playground, by erecting proper appliances IN
pleasant and appropriate places. In vaeanoh

ARrzoxA.-The Mesilla Times has the fol-.

ARIzoNA.-The Mesilla Times has the fol-
lowing item in its issue of February 23d:
A general convention is to be held in Mesilla
on the 10th day of March, 1861, "to take into
consideratonthe necessity of immediate action
with the South" Delegates from all parts of
the Territory are requested to meet in conven-
ton. The call is signed by over sixty citizens
of Mesilla.
Arizona is the southern half of New Mex
leo, and contains perhaps a thousand white
inhabitants. If they are desirOus of sece-
ding with the Gulf States, they will, un-
doubtedly, be permitted TO emigrOte; but
the Government owns the land, and will Of
course, bold it. Secession can be very eOsi-
ly disposed of in Arizona; the Government
would merely have to withdraw the troops,
and the Apaches will take care Of the Sc
ceders.

FINANcE.-Some time since, Wall street
gave out that it would not let the Government
have money to meet the loan bills then pending
in both Houses, unless that body would do
something tangible toward compromise; but
since that time they have taken the eight mil
lion loan, and that, too, before any plan Of COM
promise was agreed upon by the Committee Of
Thirty-Three. 1t was suggested that If they
had no money to loan, or did not want to loan
it, law might be passed authorizing the issu-
ance OfTeasury notes in small sums of twenty
dollars and upwards, so that the people would
take the loan ard become the bondholders. This
was enough for Wall street-it was conquered =,
and gave the money.

ing at the same time, to ascertain whether
or not platform could be agreed upon,
satisfactory to both parties, and joint call
issued for Convention. AS the Douglas
Committee have not been called together,
We presume all negotiations for compro-
mise have been broken off. There is only
one point that we know Of on which the two
parties could unite. and that is in Opposi-
ton to plank in the Republican platform
Of excluding slavery from the Territories
by Congressional enactment. But that is q
question Of small Importance in comparison
with others which have lately been forced
upon the country. The right Of seeding
States, or of individuals in those States, to
seize all the Government property within
their reach, will never be sanctioned by the
Douglas party of this State, nor can they
unite with any party that will not join in
denouncing such lawless acts. From the
tone of the Breckenridge papers it is evident
that large portion of that party sympa-
thize with the secession movement in the
Gulf States; and as that is now leading
issue in national politics, we do not see how
it is possible for any union to be effected in
this State.

A CoURT PREsENTATIoY.-SOm San Fran
cisco ladies we're lately presented to the
Emperor and Empress Of the French. The
Bee, in announcing the fact, says that a pre-
sentation amounts to this:
You seek your Minister, or get somebody to
intercede for you, and through him receive per-
mission to be present at a court day-dress up
in your best-go into the great hall-take your
place in rows like fence posts-stand there two
or three honrs, and by and by their majesties
walk up or down the aisle formed by the two
rows of suffering humanity made up Of two to
four hundred people, each of whom is circum-
stanced like yourself, and as they pass along,
your minister bawls over the names OF all his
countrymen and women present-they bow and
curtesy-their majesties don't hear half the
names, don't even look at the parties, but sim
ply glance along the line, make their bow, and
pass along to the next batch; and thus they con-
tinue until they have gone the rounds Of the
foreign Ministers who have anybody to present
and it's all over.
The lady correspondent of the Bulletin,
who was one of the presented, says:
Imagine thirty or forty of us standing up in
a row. looking at each other and at ourselves
pulling down skirt here and adjusting flow
er there-trying to keep ourselves composed,
but starting at every turn, thinking that their
Majesties had come at last!
When their Majesties came to the Americans
Mr.. Faulkner announced our names, IN the
same manner, all of us ducking very low, as if
we had suddenly got weak in the knees. When
we recovered our upright position, their Majes-
ties were bowling to somebody else.

TIT FOR TAT.-The Boston Courier tells a
good story of Gen. Butler. The Gen. was in
Washington the other day and during con-
yersation with Southern men, one Of them, a
Georgian, said, al do not believe there is an
honest man in Massachusetts," After mo-
ment's reflection, he added, 81 beg TO assure
you. MIR. Butler, ] mean nothing persona" The
General responded, 81 believe there are great
many honest men in Georgia; but in saying so,
sir, do not mean anything ngpersonal."

A New MINING. INvENTION.-San Juan
boasts another inventor. Our neighbor Jo.
Thomas has just completed the model of drum
for saving gold in quartz mining, which, 1t
strikes us, must come into general use, and
which can be seen on the hill in the rear Of Mr..
Soule's residence. The invention is a sheet
iron drum, ten feet in length and three in diam
eter, in exact resemblance to a steam boiler
An iron axle traverses the center ofthe interior
longitudinally, which is held to its place by six
series Of spokes, with feloes, like those Of a
wagon Wheel which felloes are joined and form
complete circles around the inside of the drum,
and serve as "riflles," against which the quick
silver is deposited The drum is placed at an
angle of one-half-inch to the foot, and has a ro-
tary motion in box, similar in appearance to
a way-side watering trough, at one end of which
there is gate, for the escape of sand, gravel
and water. The pulverized quartz is precipi-
tated with a steady stream Ofwater into this re-
volving drum, where the current becomes al
most imperceptble, and is yet so complete as
to permit an escape of all the tailings without
the loss of any gold, or, what little may escape
from the drum, is sure to be caught in the
trough, where there is also deposit of quick
silver. Mr.. Thomas has made an application
for patent.-[ Hydraulic Press.

INAUGURATION OF LINCOLN.


The Union Of yesterday contains tele-
graphic report of the inauguration Of Lin
coin, at Washington, on the 4th inst. An
immense number of people were in Wash
ington, and the inauguration ceremonies
were conducted according to established
usage. The President and President elect
were received in the Senate Chamber,
where the oatbs of Office were administered
to the President and Vice President elect.
after which they repaired to the front Of
the Capitol. Senator Baker introduced
Lincoln to the crowd. After the delivery
of the Inaugural, Buchanan accompanied
Lincoln to the White House. The process
sion was an imposing one. But one COM
pany of United States troops was 10 line !;
others were stationed about the city. The
Republican Association Of Maryland was
next after the President. Not single un-
pleasant or menacing incident occurred
during the day.
The Inaugural was telegraphed to the
Union in full, but as yet we have seen only
a brief, and not very ineligible, abstract.
Lincoln does not recognize the right of Sc
cession, and designs to execute the laws in
all the States unless the American people
withhold the necessary means, or in some
authoritative manner direct the contrary.
His power will be used to hold the public
property. collect duties and imports, but
beyond what may be necessary, will use no
force, aud will avoid bloOdshed and violence
if possible. Obnoxious officers will not be
imposed on the disafIected sections, and the
mails will be continued unless repelled. He
believes he has no right, and certainly has
no wish. to interfere with slavery in the
States where it exists, aud declares himself
in favor of the States to control their do
mestic institutions. He announces his ad-
herence to the Chicago platform, and is, Of
course, opposed to the Territories manag-
ing their domestic institutions. Fugitive
slaves should be given up, and law for
their surrender might provide guards
against kidnapping, and secure to citizens
of each State the immunties of citizens of
the several States. lie says the Union is
perpetual that it cannot be peaceably un-
made except by consent Of all parties to it;
that secession ordinances are void and acts
against the United States are insurrection-
ary or revolutionary. according to crcum-
stances.
In the Gulf States, and by secesslonists
generally, the Inaugural will be regarded
as war document, from the fact that it
does not admit the right Of secession. We
can form no opinion as to bow 1t will be re.
ceived in the Border States Judging from
the synopsis, if Lincoln designs to maintain
the Union in its integrity, we think the ln-
augural could not have been more conclia-
tory. We are left in the dark as to wheth-
er Lincoln designs to adopt measures i'm.
mediately for re-taking the Government
forts that have been seized, or whether the
policy will be TO strengthen the forts still
in possession OF the Government, and mere
y act on the defensive.

In,ere.t,ps from Richmond.

WASHINGTON, October l4-A special dis
patch to the New York Post says Mr.. Henry
Keenal, citizen of Fairfax County, Va,
has just arrived here from Richmond. He
has been imprisoned for several weeks in
Richmond for the crime of giving shelter to
destitute Federal soldiers, who were taken
prisoners by the enemy's forces and applied
to him for assistance. His humanity was not
to be tolerated among the rebels and he was
made to pay severe penalty. He reports
that the rebels at Richmond had INDUCED in
extravagant rejoicipgs over the attack upon
the Wilson Zouaves of New York, at Santa
Rosa Island, and claimed that their troops
had won great victory on that occasion.
The governing authorities Of the rebel
camp have had great trouble. ] 1eir officers
had given offense in various ways, and EX
Secretary Floyd and Ex, Governor Wise
were fairly in disgrace. Roger A. Pryor is
running for the rebel Congress, forsaking the
army on the ground that there will be sus
pension of hostilities during the winter.
A meeting of railroad officers took place
to-day at the General Postoffice at which
views were freely interchanged with Post
master General Blair. 1t is proposed to send
q night mail from this city to New York,
leaving at six o'clock and arriving in New
York at six o'clock the next morning.
The Richmond Enquirer Of the llth inst,
Just received here, has an account of the
confscatons of estates and property in Vir-
ginia, which have occurred under the terms
Of the recent sequestration act of the rebel
Congress since the 3Oth of September. The
aggregate value of the property thus confs-
Gated, owned by Northern citizens or loyal
Virginians, is estimated at 100000. Among
the sufferers are the following persons who
are named in the Enquirer list:
August Belmont, New York, who loses
five hundred hogsheads of tobacco, valued at
S2s, 900; Roads, Savey & Farant, Of Norfolk
c. Merry & Co., of New York; and Chicken
ing & Sons, of Boston: the latter named
house loses large stock of pianos in the
bands of their agent in Richmond; also an
estate owned by VIM. Q. Riyes, jr., of Bos.
ton, consisting of eight thousand acres of
fine land, fully stocked with negroes, live
stock aud implements; and another e5tste
owned by Francis Rives, of New York city,
also containing eight thousand acres, and
stocked with slaves. Another large estate of
eight hundred acres belonging to Mr. Sig
Quincy, New York city, with its negroes and
live stock, have been confscated. The rebel
authorities have appointed agents to take
charge of these estates, and to pay the reve-
nues arising therefrom into the rebel Trea-
sury.
II is reported that Ex- Governor Wise ha:
been attacked with an illness Of so serious q
nature that his life is endangered.
