JOHN ALIENS PROMISE.

"At4 O'Clock pm. on Friday, the 10Th
day Of July, after the foregoing had
been put in type, we had an interview
with John Allen, in the private room Of
Mr.. Acton, and in Mr.. Acton's presence,
at poiice headquarters, No. 300 Mulberry
street. Alien protested against being
called the Wickedest Man in New York.
Said he:
a. l am not the wickedest man in this
city. There are lots OF worse men than
/ am-men who never helo the poor nor
poor children, nor do anything for any
body, and Mr.. Acton here knows that
spend hundreds Of dollars Ia that way
" We then stated why we considered
him the Wickedest Man in New York.
quoting the paragraph above, in which
We embody cur views on that point
This seemed to be a new idea on the
subject to him-Rnd OUr Offering to state
any thing as coming from him, which he
wished to have said, he replied
"' Well, just say that / have some
good points, and that l am not the
Wickedest Man in New York by long
way
I" Mr.. Acton then tackled him about
his keeping such den, and sent the
truth home to his heart that, by staying
there, he would blight the life OF his
idolizsd boy.
8" And now, John, continued Mr.. Acton,
: want you TO promise us that you will

have presented the &C Barbor Of Seville" in

Of Rossini will doubtless be all that can be

3 The CANVASS OpEsEb The canvass in
this citywas opened in Clay Ward on We'd
Enesday night by large meeting at Tan
iner's Hall. The hall was crowded to over
flowing with earnest Conservatives. Mr..
George, s. Palmer, superintendent of the
ward, presided, and introduced to the au-
ldience Colonel Thomas j., Evans, one Of the
city scanHassers. Colonel Evans made q
powerful speech, and was heard with pro.
found attention. He dWelt at length upon
the .glaring wickedness Of the new Constf-
tuition and it's unheard-of injustice to the
whites race, urging united action by the
Conservatives of the State in. order, to re-
.ject, by anoyerwhe helming vote the obnoxious
Instrument. "a When the meeting adjourned, |,
three cheers were given for the white
