1t will be seen, by reference to our tele.
graphic dispatches from Washington, that the
preparations which are being made in the
navy yards of the North, for aggressive at.
tempts to collect the revenue, and to throw
troops into Forts Jefferson, Taylor and Pickens
have created the deepest and most intense ex-
element, at the capital Of the Southern con-
federacy. The surrender of Fort Sumter is
regarded as having been necessity, and
not peace offering. The intelligence, how
ever, that blockade was about to be at
tempted, coupled with the threats contained in
President Lincolns inaugural, is credited, and
the most strenuous efforts are being made to
forestall hostile action, by mastering an army
which shall at once march upon Washington,
ii the c0ercive schemes Of the administration
are persevered in. President Davis is con-
WINGED that no objection would be made to the
transit Of an army through the border States;
but that the people Of Virginia and Maryland,
would, on the contrary, rally to his support,
and reinforce his ranks. With the first notif-
cation Of hostile acts upon the Southern coast,
the troops Of the confederacy will march, and
then will be seen the beginning of the end"
| of the dreadful national drama enacting in the
country.
II is no time for General Scott to leave
| Washington now. His services there may be
| soon needed. Neither is the summons of
| General Wool for one hundred thousand men,
to aid in defending the seat of government, to
be now regarded as unreasonable. Battle y
which Mr.. Seward declared might be the last
resort in the present crisis may be near at
hand, and the safety of Mr.. Lincoln in the
White House, may soon depend, either upon
his desisting from the fatal, unconciliatory
course which he and his advisers are pursuing,
upon fight, or upon the most formidable pre-
parations for defence that can be collected
together

MANAGEMENT OF THE CENTRAL PARK.-The
bill before the Assembly vesting the appoint
ment of the Central Park Commissioners in the
Board of Supervisors will, it is feared, be
passed, through the influence Of a strong lobby.
What the precise objects are of those who are
urging it we are not informed; but there is
one thing certain, that the interests of the pub
lie have but small share in them. The pre-
sent Commissioners have not done all that they
might have effected with the vast resources at
their command; they have, on the contrary,
committed some grave errors which might have
been avoided by the exercise of little judy
ment. We nevertheless do not desire to see
them removed. Any change in the organiza-
ton OF the Commission at present must lead to
delay in the execution of the works and
large increase of expenditure. The object of
the proposed bill can only be to provide for
pack of hungry Office seekers; and it is there
fore better to content ourselves with a manage
ment which performs indifferently well its
duties, than 10 trust the completion of this
important undertaking to men whose only in
crest is to make the most they can out of it.

however, that "a new broom sweeps clean;"
and let us hope that our republican reformers
will establish the truth Of the adage. II Secre-

THE REIGN OF EcoNoMY AND TEMPERANCE
INAU0URATED AT WAsHINGrON.-Among other
reforms which our black republican friends
promised to introduce into the administration
of the government was the abolition of the
White House kitchen. Ever since the days of
Ogle's gold spoon expose, we have heard from
time to time of shocking orgies alleged to have
taken place under the roof OF the Executive
mansion. In poor Pierce's time, when the C)s-
Waller Forney was chief cook and bottle wish
er, there was q great deal of scandal .hoat
about the doings in the Executive map.lon; and
since that day the same party have Arunk "po-
tations polite deep" in the Capsol itself, all
the committee rooms being turred into whiskey
shops With Honest Old ACE Lincoln, how
ever, things were to b. dlnerent. he Is
said to be abstemio,s to fault: never
drinks liquors o. any kind, abhers
old rye, detests sherry, ignores claret, believes
champagne to be an invention of the devil, and
looks upon lager bier as an abomination. In
the way Of stern simplicity and total absti-
nence the second Washington goes step'be-
yonl the first, who was not averse to glass of
fine Madeira now and then.
Under all these circumstances, knowing as
we do that the President is as prim Puritan
as ever sat under Cotton Mather's preaching,
we have been Q little bit surprised at the con-
duct of the gentlemen who composed his
"suite" during his recent journey from Spring
field. The party arrived at Albany at about
three o'clock in the afternoon, and went to the
Delavan House, remaining till the next morn
ing. The Delavan, as our readers are aware,
is "a temperance house." On one OCCASION
several years ago, an eminent English
singer arrived at the cheerful politi-
col metropolis of the State, and was
driven to the before mentioned hostelrie. Fa-
tigued, dusty and disc0nsolate, he craved
glass of wine. The servant regretted the cir.
cumstance, but there was no such thing as
wine or any spirituous or malt liquor in the
establishment, and the astonished traveller was
informed that total abstinence was the speciali-
ty of the Delavan House. Since that time,
however, things have changed The tempe
rance party is dead, Delavan and Neal Dow
have gone into retirement, and the hotel which
the New York apostle of the Maine law built as
an instrument for the furtherance of his theory
is no longer temperance house. Of the Pre-
sidential party, Old Abe seems to have been
the only person who would have been dis
pleased with the change. Judging from their
reckoning" the others had what would be
called tremendous blow out. Here is the
little account

PUNISHMENT FOR MuRpER.-We trust that the
bill before the Legislature restoring the death
penalty for the crime Of murder will be pressed
through this session. Anything more absurd
or anomalous than the condition Of the law
under the provisions of the act Of 1860 cannot
well be conceived. II 1t were intended to hold
out encouragement for the taking of life no
better means could have been adopted. The
present bill enacts that for murder in the first
degree the penalty shall be death, and for
murder in the second degree imprisonment in
State prison for life. The experience Of the
last ten months has abundantly demonstrated
the fallacy Of the arguments by which the re.
Taxation OF the old law was obtained. II the
repeating act is seyerer than the latter in some
Of its provisions, the humanitariaus have them
selves 10 thank for II.

resign, and win be continually thrust to the
wall, by the domino ring doggedness Of Chase
supported as the latt q by Blair and Welles
and with the predilectis ms of the President in
favor Of clustering, ,uinous policy.
The course of Mr.. Lii lcoln with respect to the
commissioners from Montgomery, is his first in
stalment of vengeance, for being compelled to
withdraw the troops of the United States from
Fort Sumter. More will come. The clouds
that hang over the prosperity of the country
are dark and menacing; but the administration
will not take single step to dispel them. The
only remedy lies in the people; nor can many
months pass away, before an uproar Of indig-
nation will make itself heard, In the border
non-slaveholding as well as slsvsholding
States, which will appal those who are so
suicidally sacrificing the best interests of the
republic.

COLLECTING THE REvENUE.-The evacuation
of Fort Sumter is an act of necessity on the
part of the government at Washington; but the
collection of the revenue from the customs in
the seeded States is also matter of necessity.
President Lincoln must interpose, or the low
tariff of the Confederate States will attract
large proportion of European goods Intended
for the United States, and thus cut off con-
siderable slice of the revenues of the latter.
Upon this issue, then, of collecting the import
duties on foreign goods, the conflict of jurisdic-
ton between President Lincoln and President
Davis will be put TO the test and we may soon
expect, though not on so grand scale, the re-
petition of the war between the British Orders
in Council and Napoleon's Berlin and Milan
DEGREES.

This is, az the Western men say, piling the
agony very high. In bill of sl,12o, wines
and liquors amount to 1857, and breakage of
stoves, chairs, &C., to $50, or nearly one-half
the total amount. The nearest approach to
this is Falstafrs famous reckoning" Item,
capon, g. 3D.; item, sack, two gallons, 5s. 3d.;
item, anchovies and sack after supper, 2s. 3D.;
item, bread, q halfpenny." Whereupon the
comment is: 80 monstrous! but one halfpenny
worth of bread to this intolerable deal Of sack"
Are Old Abe's friends of the Falstafian school?
Can it be possible that they intend to set up
drinking saloon in the White House? We are
aware that the President and his family dined
with the Governor, and that they had no part
in the immense consumption Of "sack." But if
Old Abe winks at this sort Of thing he is quite
as bad as his subordinates, and they are as
greedy as our Common Councilmen when there
is a Japanese Embassy on hand. Hon. Massa
Greeley is very sharp on the scent for corrup-
ton hereabouts. What does he think of the
Delavan House orgie?

WEED AND GREEIEY.-Between these bellige-
rent brethren ofthe republican "happy family"
Honest Abe Lincoln should command SOD
of Crittenden compromise or Peace Conference
adjustment, or Weed may get punch In the
head, OF Greeley may get his shins broken,
when next they meet Since II has been de-
cided TO evacuate Fort Sumter, Greeley has be-
come more dangerous than ever, and Weed
should be instructed to keep out of his way
till some satisfactory distribution Of the spoils
can be made.

CAsyus M. CLAY FOR SPAIN AND THOMAS
CoRwIS FOR MEXICO. These two appointments,
said to have been declined, pretty clear
ly disclose the policy of Mr. Lincoln
more slave States" Cuba, in any event, is
out Of the question, so far as these United
States are concerned; but Mr.. Clay was just
the man to shut the door In Madrid against the
Confederate States. For the same purpose Mr.
Corwin OF all men, was the man for Mexico The
headed off Captain Tyler. The curtain is
rising, and, from the characters already on the
stage, the drama of Abraham Lincoln's ad-
ministration will be intensely interesting.

Mr.. SECRETARY CHASE OPEN TO CoNvIc-
roS.--Our new Secretary of the Treasury, ex-
Governor Chase, of Ohio, an infexible man in
the cause of "human freedom" was one of
the first members of the Cabinet, it appears,
who was convinced of the expediency of aban-
doning Fort Sumter. Something more power
full than the distractions of the Chicago plat
form was brought to bear upon him, to wit
an empty treasury. Mr.. Chase is in the market
tor money; but Wall street threatened to shut
down upon him If the foolish experiment Of
reinforcing Fort Sumter were attempted And
30 the almighty dollar has something to do with
the policy of the new administration, as well as
the almighty niger. "The love Of money is
the root of all evil" Pass round the plate.

THE NEW COLLECTOR OF New YoRK.-Mr.
Hiram Barney, who will undoubtedly receive
the appointment of Collector of the revenue at
this port, is an eminently respectable gentle
man, personally most worthy to I'll the Office
which he is destined to Ill. He is lawyer
by profession, of the firm of Barney, Humph-
reys & Butler-the latter son of the Hon.
Benjamin F. Butler, of abolitionist prayer
meeting and church-going renown. Mr.. Bar
ney is also son.in-law of Mr.. Lewis Tappan,
who was one of the hardest and most solid
stones in the foundations of original abolition
ism, and who probably always sleeps with the
latest speech of Wendell Phillips. He and his
brother started the Journal Of Commerce, under
Hale x Hallock as an abolition organ, and
have done wonders in their way for the mig
ger" generally. The new Collector is the init
mate friend of Mr.. Chase, the Secretary of the
Treasury, and has been the law agent in New
York Of Mr.. Lincoln, whom he has also en-
ployed to transact business for him in Illinois.
His abolitionism is black, fringed it'll red
quite philosophical however, and not infring-
ing upon the square proportions of a vigorous,
intellectual and honorable mind. He will make
an upright, and, outside Of politics, popular
Official, and If any brain is able to make sense
out Of the confusion worse confounded' of the
new tariff, his may be relied on. 1t is most
probable, however that it will reduce him to a
chronic migraine, for which the only remedy
will be its amendment.

RESULT OF THE ELECTlON IN NEW AAMr-
sHrRE.-Just as we anticipated the republicans
have carried the election in New Hampshire,
but by majority considerably reduced from
that with which they triumphed last November.
1t shows some gain on the conservative side, as
does the repeal Of the Personal Liberty bill in
Maine. But there is still great apathy in New
Hampshire and New England, and more sue
cess for the cause of conservatism may be ex-
pected in the elections next month in Connect
cut and Rhode Island, not only because those
States are more connected with New York city,
Of whose liberality and enlightenment they
are more identified with the South, but because
there will be more time for our national
troubles to produce their results.
The New England States are only beginning
to feel the effects of the commercial disturb
ance brought about by political causes; and
the Eastern politicians are too busily engaged in
the scramble for the spoils to pay much atten-
ton to the true interests OF their States. But
when forcible commercial revolution comes
into full operation, as it soon will, in conse-
quence OF the conflict of the two tariffs, the re-
suit will be that for the next two years the
manufactures and commerce Of the North will
be paralyzed and broken down, and great dis
tress will prevail among all classes. Many
who are now without employment are living
upon the money saved in time Of prosperity or
upon the kindness of friends; but these re-
liances will soon fail them, and they will be
added to the number of the destitute. Clouds
and darkness, therefore, rest upon the future,
and every day the sufferings of the people will
increase. In the course Of a month, or even
three weeks, the disastrous effects Of Mr.. Lin
coins election will be felt far more sensibly
than at present. and will probably produce a
favorable influence on the elections of Connec-
ticut and Rhode Island.
The people of New England are beginning
slowly to comprehend the fatal error they have
committed; but some time must elapse before
they realize the full extent of the ruin brought
upon them by combination Of mercenary
politicians with narrow minded fanatics, who,
to accomplish their selfish purposes, are ready
to sacrifice the best interests of their country
and of the human race.
