nvcrite monarch in this respect. The system
OF taking only those men for sailors who ex-
nioit some predisp position for the profession y
sNe system which must be adopted in Russia in
ordes TO secure good navy. Nor should such
schools for sailors as our New England fisheries
ana the French and English fisheries at ST.
ricrre and Newfoundland be neglected. Fin
land is capital place for such a school, and
the Fins, as their Same indicates, always mako
admirable sailors. This advice, however. ia
only by way of little before dinner converse

grand banquet.
Continued War in che Cabinet-Cock
F1ghsing and "Coppering tho Red.'
There is a paper in existence called the Csron;-
Gle cfAe Tuuf, though the announcement may be
news to our readers. 1t professes to be tho
American sporting gentlemsn's organ, and in
this capacity is patronized BY the brilliant
chief of the Treasury Department, who finds in
It ft vehicle for communicating with his
friends, the big and little stock gamblers Of
Wall street and the sporting fraternity n
general. Ons glance through it, pages shows
that it is an "oryan" in the most intense sense
of That obnoxious term. 1t is partisan in
everything, just or fair in nothing, and it,
particular favorites are a somewhat speckled
assemblage embracing Billy Mulllgan, s. p.
Chase, the Benicia Boy, Secretary Stanton, Mr..
John Morrissey, Gideon Welles, Fighting Joe,
Mrs. Belle Blivins, Of Buffalo, and Senator Jim
Lane, ofKansas. Itslibrary contains "Fistlana,"
"Boxiana" "The State Papers of Secretary
Chase, "The Derby Racing Calendar" ere
ports OF the Committee on the Conduct of the
War;" "History of Cock Fighting" "rhe Chi
cago Platform, with Notes by Greeley" Lives
OF the Milling Heroes" "Hoylc on Whist"
"Halleck on War;" "Helper on the Crisis"
and "The Newgate Calendar" in seventy

AS the organ of Con. Orem, Tom Hyer and
other ilustrious "handers of the daddes," the
Chronicle Of the 1'wf goes largely into prize
fights and sparring matches On behalf OF

whenever it can get a chance To please Billy
Mulligan and Jonny Ling, it devotes attention
to "coppering the red" "forking out the chips"

predicts with solemnity that the weakness of Mr..
Lincoln and the treason Of Seward will soon
cause "gold to be at premium of two hundred
per cent"--a calamity only to be averted by
the surrender "within thirty days" of Missouri
and Kansas to the abolition plunder schemes or
Senator Jean Paul Marat Lane. Mrs. Belle
Blivins, in jockey hat and feather, trots out her
"long-tailed sorrel." Genio G. Scott docs the
trout fishing and cock fighting. Comments on
the imbecility and mismanagement of the State
Department are the special business of the
Count Adonis Gurowski; while the editor in
person attends to the "base, groveliing and
dirty" democrats, "besotted devotees of par
ty," "gridir0n railroad speculators," "pubiis
sharpers," central sachems." notorious swim
dlers" and "irm Of rogues" who have brought
Tammauy Hall into "obscene communion with
Mozart for the local deflement of this city,"
Take it for all In all, the organ of the Amc-
rican sporting gentleman presents quite re-
freshing variety of subject matter. "From
grave to- gay, from lively to severe" was never
better illustrated. Its only fault is-and this
we speak in the interest of its largest class OF
patrons-that 1t gives up too much space to tho
ponderous lucubrations Of the Treasury De-
partment What care its patrons-the men
with rufisd shirt fronts, diamond pins and dyed
mustaches, who may be seen assembled any
fine day on the Fashion race track, or who
gather at night in every haunt where ga little
game is kept moving what care they for the
conservative plot" of which Mr.. Chase writes
column after column every weeks What in
terest have they in urging that Senator Fessen-
den's defeated proposition for an "open Sena-
torial vote." requesting Mr.. Lincoln to kick
out Seward, shall be revveds Every ono
knows that Mr.. John Morrissey is a devoted
Seward man, and that he "bets bis little pllew
at every election under the direct tutelage OF
Thurlow Weed. Mr.. Morrissey is an American
sporting gentleman of large influence re-
preventative sport" so to speak and In a
perfectly friendly spirit we adsise the editor OF
the Chronicle Of the Turf to consult Mr.. J. M.
much more and Mr.. s. p. G. much less than 10
has latterly done.
Surely, too, the astute Secretary of the
Treasury displays less than his usua! acumeu
in the selection Of the paper under notice NJ
his organ. The "sports" Of the country are. q
free handed, liberal class, led more by the hcart
than by the head, and Mr.. Chase can never in
jure Mr.. Seward in their eyes by proving, as he
tries to do that the 'little juggler of the State
Department" is Gin favor of resembling tho
emancipation proclamation" and Confscation
bill, and that he is willing to deal with slavery
within the Union If he could not ge. along
without"-in word, that Mr.. Seward makes
the slavery question subordinate to that Of tho
Union, while Mr.. Chase prefers to have civil
war and disunion forever rather than to allow
the return Of any Southern State under the pro-
