OUR MUNICIPAL ELEcTroN-vcry little public
interest is manifested in our city elections
which come off to-day. The contest is a SQUAD
BILE Of the political factions concerned for the
Corporation spoils; and, with some exceptions,
the Aldermanic and Councilmanic candidates
are about as shabby q set as ever emanated
from the grogsbop primaries. The time has
not yet come for city reform, aud will not come
until the taxpayers concerned take hold in good
season, and move together from . new base of
operations. 1t is probable that between the
Albany republican lobby, the Albany Regency
and the conflicting democratic cliques Of this
city, all intent upon our Corporation spoils and
plunder, this community for the next year may
be fieeced SO outragcously as to bring about q
wholesome popular reorganization Of things.
But the reign OF corruption and roguery must
run its career before the reign OF reform can
be expected We must walt yet little longer,
and submit to more extortions and squander-
ings OF the public money and property before
we cap hail the "good time coming" "What
is everybody's business is aobody's business
till all are made to suffer beyond further en-
duran &C.

Judge from the howlings Of their organs--thc
World and Ne,os--they do not seem to under
stand what struck them into nonentity upon
that occasion. The fact is that the men were
incompetent to perform the great work they
undertook to do, and we told them 80 two
years ago. The best thing that Barlow and
Belmont could do, now that they have failed in
politics, would be to attend to their legitimate
business-one regulating ailroads, the other
regulating exchange. As for their abuse Of the
HERALD or Of ourselves personally, that is only
laugbable. 1t cannot mend the matter. They
were unfit for the work they engaged in, and
they very naturally broke down. As for their

The Franeo-IaaIian Convcntisn-rss
Bearings from an italian Poiat OF
View.
The convention lately concluded between
Napoleon and Victor Emanuel may be said 70 be
the "beginning Of the end" Of that hierarchicar
despotism which, under the sovereignty Of the
Popes, has exercised for ages such an enslaving
influence upon Italy. From the moment that
document received the signatures of the high
contracting parties, the temporal power Of the
Papacy received its death blow. There was
some reason TO fear, as indeed was the case ct
first, that the true purport Of the treaty would
be misunderstood and its objects defeated
through the hatred Of Napoleon, which has
hitherto marked the conduct Of Mazziai
and his followers. All cause for appre-
hsnsion on this score has, a. will be
seen from the interesting letter which we pub
lish from Turin. vanished. The good sense sf
the italian people has recognized the wisdom
Of measure which, though Il delays for
short time the realization Of their hopes in 10
gard 70 Rome, places that city not the lee
surely within their grasp, while at the sans
time II avoids the perils Of . ssruggie which
would have ranged on The side Of the Pope M
whole Catholic feeling Of Europe. Our cor
respondent gives just credit 70 the French Hn-
peros for The origi.aten sf The treaty, and sp-
positsly YemaYks tlat thls work Of "tAs

Gen. Peck has Issued an order to the troops
to promote greater economy and care In the

The Greensboro, Of the Sd inst, says The
distance Of unfinished grading on the Pied

On Sunday afternoon, the 18Th, Lieut.. York,
of the I'd North Carolina Volunteers, stationed
at Plymouth, was ordered to proceed to the
mouth OF the Cashie river and bring away any
deserters that might wish TO come. Taking
eight men, and embarklDg on the DOlllO, he
landed at Terrapin Point at about ten 10 the
evening, but found no one wishing to come
with him. Nothing daunted by the dlfll-
cultles OF the swamp through which II was
necessary to pass, or the small force with him,
he proceeded inland with his eight men and
succeeded in capturing five rebel soldiers, who
were at homo on furlough, and three horses
with their equipments

HEAVY SNOW STORM.
RICHMOND, March 23.-The heaviest snow
storm of two winters, 1t is presumed, did not
slight Petersburg yesterday and last night.
The average depth Is about twelve inches, and
some affirm that 1t is deeper. To-day was
ushered In with cloudloss sky, and merry
ringing OF sleigh bells, the latter pastlme at
the tune of twenty dollars an hour to those
who indulged. The roads in Northern Viz
glnia, always cut up by the hundreds Of wag-
ons on the move, will be In horrible condition
for some time TO come, and giyO truce to any
intention of activity on the part Of the enemy.

The London correspondent Of the New York
Commercial Advertiser makes some Important
(if truc) statements respecting the new Mex
lean Empire. Maximillan's visit TO Paris was
strictly incognlto and was only one Of compil.
mentary form, all political and financial
affairs connected with the new Empire being
still concentrated at Paris, where Napoleon
takes personal direction Of every political
phase Of II. The correspondent says further
with regard 10 the future relations Of Mex.
leo with foreign powers, and especially with
may be relied upon. II Is believed that toward
the end Of the present month the new monarch
will send circular to each Power announcing
his assumption to the throne and inviting the
nomination OF ambassadors, consuls, &c.
That this circular will be favorably met and 70.
sponded TO by President Lincoln Is stated 10 be
a matter of certainty. According TO report,
one part Of the recent mission Of Gen. Foroy
to Washington was to sound the Washington
Cabinet on this subject-the result being that
Il was intimated 10 him the United States
would accredlt Minister TO Mexico provided
the now Empire adopted no policy directly oI
indirectly antagonlstic 10 the Union.
This account Of the present posture OF affairs
comedies with some recent mani lfestations TO-
wal d the Confederate representatives In Paris
and Brussels. Mr.. Slideil, u Is said, asked az
audience Of ths Arehduke, 10 Which a ready assem-
iOds giUsf, Nth ne proviso that u met hs approval
Of he Emperor Napoleon. That approval, h10
epsr, lcds innledidtely and distinctly REFUSED. Al
the same time, Mr.. Dudley Mann, from Brus
sells, contemplated seeking similar favor, but
seeing the turn matters were taking he alb
stained and went back TO Belgium.
