situation, and said that when, he was

credentials, offering him the Govern

a subsequent meeting the question
was again presented, and he replied
that if the majority thought it was to
their interest to place him at the
head Of the Government, he might
consent Another deputation waited
upon him and brought additional 'tes-.
timonials. Upon advice from the
powers of Europe, who told him that
there was no other course to pursue,
he accepted the call. He denied that.

Peter Cooper and tho B0uld Irish Boy.
The terrible Peter Cooper is after the Bould
Irish Boy, O'Gorman, with another sharp stick,
but one 80 long as to lose much Of the damag-
ing effect Of it's ugly point A letter Of five
mortal columns On the subject Of few thou
sands, more or less, Of municipal extravaganza
would be but dry reading for the million, even
when proceeding from the pen Of SO accom-
plished political campaigner as Peter Cooper,
and the space Of the HERALD is too valuable
to be abandoned to such an extent to the poll
ticians or to the squabbles of the "ins' and
the "outs." It must suffice TO say that Peter
Cooper reiterates the charges made in his first
pron,uciamiento against the Corporation Coun-
sci, and cites the records Of the city to show
that he has good grounds for his former slate
ments. He quotes literally from the old law
cases in which heavy judgments have been
obtained against the city by obscure journals
whose names are unknown to nine-tenths OF
the people Of New York, and prefers to hold
the Corporation Counsel responsible rather
than to shift the. blame on the courts. We
have no doubt Peter Cooper makes out his
case very satisfactorily, but we question
whether his eloquence will induce the return
Of q dollar to the city treasury that has already
been taken out of it, or prevent the taking
out of great many additional dollars next
wear.

Mr.. Dickens seems to have profited by our

which the chronic toadyism of Bostonlans was

ditional material. He will find abundant food
for his amusing satire, because our faults have
grown with our growth. II we have become
less thin-skinned than formerly, it is not be-
cause we have got wholly rid of the faults that
originally provoked his criticisms, nor because
we have not acquired others that equally merit
censure. II may be a great disappointment
and calamity for the toadies, funkies and fools
Of Boston, and for their cousins in New York
who happen to be surviving members of the
reception committees that bored him and made
themselves ridiculous at his first visit to
America, but it will be great relief and a
gain to Mr.. Dickens that he has taken our adj
vice and turned cold shoulder to them all.

needlessly timid about putting the prices for

But Mr.. Dolby might be treasured on this point
by the readiness with which all the seats in
Steinway Hall were yesterday sold before
three o'clock for the New York course of read
ings to commencs On the 9th Of December.
The box Office had to be closed, and there can
be no sale of single seats to-day, inasmuch as
there remain no seats to sell. The shortness
Of the notice thwarted the plans Of the specu-
lators, who were unable to organize their
forces, as only six tickets were sold to each in

have suggested would enable both Mr.. Dickens
aud his agent to reap still moro plentiful
harvest OF gold-or greenbacks.

occupation Of Canada shall be the means Of
establishing the independence Of the new

blame for the result II would at least be

dissatisfied with the manner In which dis
tasteful consolidation has been forced upon
