"wEKE the United States tomorrow
to step in and reduce every province of
Mexico to condition OF territorial sub
jection," says the New York Tunes,
"the leading powers of the world would
hold themselves largely our Debtors"
Doubtless the leading powers OF the
world would like nothing better than
to see the United States engaged in
some war to which they were not par
ties. They held themselves largely our
debtors for our war for the Union, so
long as they supposed it would be i'm
possible for US to crush tile rebellion.
They will be delighted to see us invest
"A few hundred million dollars in In
dian scalps. And they would be we'll
pleased to see us try TO repeat in Mexi-
co the experiment which two of them
thought il prudent to back out of be-
fore they were we'll in it, and which a
third power got heartily sick OF. We
are decidedly in favor OF permitting the
"leading powers OF the world" to skin
their own mepkites Americana.

The application for admission to the
bar of G. b. Varshon, colored, was I'M
derstood TO have been fixed for ar
gument to-day, and in consequence,
there WAS assembled in the Common
Pleas Courtroom large number OF
councillors at Iaw-larger than has
been seen except on very great occas-
ions-so great was the interest felt in
the matter. The case, however, was not
fixed to come up to-day. but placed on
the argument list to he taken up in its
regular course. II is Understood from
what trRnspired to-day that the ques-
ton OF citizenship will not be raised,
the Civil Rights Law being regarded as
conclusive on that point. The Bar
Committe will doubtless have the mat
ter referred to them to inquire into the
qualifications OF Mr.. Varshon. Hon.

THE Metropolis of Eastern Ohio has
very indifferent market regulations we
should infer from the following local
item in the Steubenville Herald:
1.-THE condition of the market house
surroundings are not very creditable to
the city to say nothing about the condi-
ton of the grounds in a sanitary sense.
The bones from the butchers block.
sheep legs and feet, &c, are swept from
the pavement of the market house
upon the surroundings, where they
present very uusightly appearances.
The attention of the market master has
been directed to the condition OF the
grounds about the market house, and
it is suggested by the Board or Health,
that the rubbish thus accommodating, be
cleaned up and hauled Off the grounds,
twice week, Immediately after the
close OF market, on market days"

reminds one OF story told of wag
rushing into a theatre and crying out,
"Mr. Smith, your house is on FIRE"
whereoupon seventy persons rose
to their feet. Desiring to be more e1-
pIicit, the wag qualified his assertion
by stating ihat the owner of the burn

dHy Smiths resumed their seats, and
the remainder rushed out of the build

evening the Special Committee of Councils
who have the matter in charge of creating a
Commission on Public Buildings, assembled in
the Council room, Mr.. Stokley presiding.
The ordinance reported for adoption was
considered by sections, and was adopted after
it had undergone amendment In the first
section it provides that the Commission shall
consist of certain gentlemen not yet named,
with the Mayor and Presidents of Councils
and that they shall hold Office for five years,
unless the buildings shall be completed before
that time.
In the other sections it is provided that the
Commissioners shall meet once month; shall
advertise three weeks for plans and proposals;
shall determine what portion of the buildings
shall be first put up, and shall give the CON
tract to the lowest bidder, to be approved by
Councils Also, that tax shall be levied
on all property in Philadelphia sufficient to
raise 100000 per annum; and that $4,000
shall be appropriated at the present time to
procure plans, specifications, ETC., the amount

The Senate of Wisconsin, by vote of 26
to 4, has indefinitely postponed the bill to pay
Samuel Booth $500 and costs for resistance
to the Fugitive Slave law of 1859; also the bill
to remove the capital to Milwaukee. The
committee to investigate the charges of cor
ruption in railroad affairs in the Legislatures
of 1865 and 1866, have reported that there is
no evidence to sustain the charges and the
testimony has been destroyed. The bill under
which the common stockholders of the Prairie
du Chen Railroad voted, and gave control of
the road to the st. Paul Railroad, was pro-
cured by gross misrepresentation There is
sharp contest in the Assembly over the bill
prohibiting the consolidation of the Milwaukee
roads with the Western.
M. Lamartine is not likely, from present
appearances, to obtain the four hundred thou
sand francs which the French Government
proposed to give him, the committee who
have the bill in charge having sent it back
to the Council of State with an amendment
proposing an annuity of twenty-five thou
sand francs, instead of the donation. M,
Lamartine will not accept such beggarly
sum, if only for the reason that 1t would de-
prive him of one of his grievances.
The French Protestant Historical Society
has proposed as the subjects of the prize

personage, or episode, of the French Revolu,
ton, the precise one to be fixed hereafter
