The City Tax Levy-Hats ON the @Bust''-
More ssWOOd.',
At two O'Clock yesterday afternoon the City
Fathers, fully recruited after the sorrowfu trip to
Wheatland, convened at City Hall and proceeded
to the disposition Of public business. The chamber
was neatly draped in mourning in memory of the
late ex-Presdent Buchanan, and the busts Of distn
gulshed jurlsts which flank the Presidents bench
were crowned with stiles" OF the latest fashion.
After the usual preliminares had been disposed of,
and several unmportant papers had been received
and laid over the tax levy as certified by the proper
State officer was taken up. The young man to whom
is cOnfded the reading in the Board struggled along
with the document; but the weight Of the jobs which
he had to tell of was bearing heavily upon him. and
the President, seeing that 1t would require stronger
man to 90 through the document, took 1t in hand
and disposed Of 1t bravely Then came lengthy
ward into thrty-fve election DISTRICTS during the
reading of which the 'honOrabler member from the
corporation fences' are wanted for lots owned
by certain parties was buzzing the venerable
member from the west side. The cause OF the "buzz"
was speedily made apparent for no sooner had
the reading OF the Seventeenth ward document been
ended than the venerable, respectable, republican
ssd general order i've His remark
was unheeded, and the question on the subject just
read was stated and the vote called for, when the
venerable gent again suggested 'fve thirty eight;"
the vote taken and decided in favor Of the resO

teman in order-he formerly Of the nice curly hair
called up another order for the gentleman from
up town relating to the paving OF Flfty-seventh
street from Third to Seventh avenue with McGonegal
wooden pavement. There appeared to be
probability Of defeat This was too much
for the mighty Terence, and when his turn
to vote came around he gave a most du-
bi0us no" The resolution was lost and the
benefcidre moved to reconsider the vote. 1t was
reconsidered and the paper again laid over, after
which there came discussion on the placing OF O
lamp in the middle Of the street at the junction OF
Broadway and Canal street, just where the railroad
STOP The matter was referred back to the COM
mittee and then the Board ordered the paving OF
104th street from First to Fourth avenue with the
Fisk concrete pavement and Howard street with the
Brown and Miller wooden pavement, after which a
gentleman from a down town district favored the
gentleman from near the other end OF the avenue''
by calling up the resolution to pave street
from Third avenue to the East river with the McGon-

The ssGreat Event, of the French Turf-Race
for the Grand Prize Of Paris-ImperiaIism
and the People ON the COurse-An English
Horse tine Winner.
PARIS, June s, 1858.
The most animated exciting and brilliant day OF
the French turf-exceedins in some respects the
great English event of the Derby-passed at the
Chantilly grounds yesterday, Sunday.
An immense crowd assembled on the course
Paris pouring forth its gay and lively population in
thousands from an early hour Of the morning. The
scene the road differed from that observed the
way to EPSON Downs inasmuch as the majority OF
the people were better dressed more demonstratveA
and chatty-in word, more good natured towards
one another than is to be seen when the ''ruck''
thckens near the English resort.
Imperialism, French arstocracy, the continental
nobility with fair sprinkling of English sporting
men, students and ''snobs," blended most harmoni-
ously.
The Emperor Napoleon, Eugfnie, with the Prince
Imperial were present and seemed to enjoy the pro-
ceedings.
The Count de Flanders and his wife were also upon
the ground.
The weather warm and delightfully."- invigOrat-
ing and seemed to commune with humanity bent
relaxation and enjoyment.
The race was for the Grand Prize of Paris object
of art, the gift Of his Majesty the Emperor, and
100000 francs $4,000 in gOld) for the then three
years old entire colts and FLIES of any breed and any
country added sweepstakes of 5000 each in gold,
the second to 81, 900 in gold and the third
$1,000 in gold; colts to carry l21 pounds fes 118
pounds, about mile and seven furlongs; nnety-six
subscribers.
The betting on the leading favorites about ten days
previous to the race stood as follOws:-Two to one
against the Marquis Of Hastings bay colt The Earl
by young Melbourne, out of Bay Celia; six to one
against Mr.. Goddings' bay colt Vale Royal by Stock
well, out of Beatrice and fifteen to against Mr.
II. Savie's black colt Blueskin, by Skrmsher out
Of DOeskin.
The day before the race the betting was about as
folOws:-Even on The Earl, ridden by FOrdham;
three to against Suzerain, ridden by Custance;
five to one against NeluskO, ridden by Grimshaw;
three to against Vale Royal; eight to against
Blueskin
On the ground on Sunday, the day, there
hardly as much interest manifested in the result
Of the race as previously, for the success OF the
favorte horse was regarded almost foreg0ne
conclusion.
The start was good
The Earl won easily

The Western Democracy and Their Can
didate-The Old Game Of 1860.

didnte-The Old Game Of 1860.
The Pendleton democracy of the West are
becoming somewhat excited over the move
ments among the democrats of the East in
favor of Chief Justice Chase as their coming
man. For instance, we find in one of the
Western Pendleton journals, a Kentucky paper,
lying before us, and in an article on ''The
Democratic Situation, these opinions: -"That
the star of George II. Pendleton is in the as
cendant;" that he is the man, that ''the move
ments for Chase and Hancock are shiftless ex-
pedients" which the common sense of the
people will reject" that General Mcclellan
and Governor Seymour being out of the way
Mr.. Pendleton remains in the foreground as
the sole embodiment Of democratic principles,
democratic precedents and the democratic
battle line." As sample Of the senseless
twaddle of the old democratic Bourbons this
will do very well; but we find something
little more emphatic and little more to the
point, from leading Pendleton organ Of
Ohio in these words:-'If the Democratic
National Convention shall 30 far forget itself
as to nominate Chief Justice Chase for the
Presidency, or any other man who was not
true to the democratic organization in the days
when timorous souls denied their association
with the party, the Statesman will not support
him." And again:-'We are convinced from ex-
| perience thata positive democrat, man who has
all along believed in the principles Of the party
and has never been ashamed of II, will run
infinitely better than any other sort of candi-
date. AT all events we shall support none
other"
This means Pendlcton or bolt These West
ern democrats with Pendeton, in short, appear
to be resolved upon the same game in 1868
which they played with Douglas at Charles
ton in 1860. They went into that Convention
as the New York Van Buren faction went into
the Baltimore Convention of ls4s. to rule or
ruin the party. They went down to Charles
ton resolved upon Douglas and his souatter
sovereignty platform, ''inside the Convention
if we can, but outside If we must" The New
York delegation, in the hands of Dean Rich
mond, an illiterate man of narrow pau0e.
could do nothing against this Douglas pressure
from the West So the democratic party was
split up throughout the country between
Douglas and Breckenridge, and the opposition

ridge and the Bcll-Evcrett ticket and so Abra-

The Departure of j. Ross Browne, Oul
New Minister to China.


Mr.. J. Ross Browne, who takes the place of
Mr. Burlingame as American Minister to China,
leaves this morning by the California steamer
for San Francisco, on his way to Pekin. He
goes under peculiarly favorable circumstances
and at remarkable period in the history of
the great empire to which he is accredited
Mr.. Burlingame, taking advantage Of the con-
dition of China and the liberal tendencies of its
government, inaugurated policy which sweeps
away the former exclusiveness and isolation of
a nation comprising more than third Of the
human family and which opens a wonderful
future for both that country and the COM
mercial nations of the rest of the world. A
broad field of usefulness, consequently, is
opened for Mr.. Browne, and we have no
doubt he will prove worthy successor to Mr..
Burlingame. Both are men imbued with ideas
of progress and material development and
with the important commercial and political
relations springing up between the Oldest and
most populous empire Of the world and the
mighty republic of the West. Mr.. Browne is
thoroughly practical in his views, man of
great and varied experience, and possesses
that kindness Of disposition and suavity
of manners which cannot fail to have
the happiest effect upon the government
at Pekin and the Chinese people. As a
Californian he represents the progressive
spirit of his State and the rapidly growing
interests of the whole Pacific slope with China,
while, at the same time, he lie fit representa-
tive Of the American nation and government
MIR. Burlingame was anxious about the appoint
ment of Minister to take his place in China
and had expressed the wish that no one should
be appointed till he arrived but we under
stand he is perfectly satisfied with the selec-
ton of Mr.. Browne for that important position.
Mr.. Browne deferred his departure till Mr.. Bur
lingame arrived here, and these two gentle
men have had frequent and full conferences on
the subject of the mission and affairs in China
The ex-Minister of the United States (who
now has the brilliant position of Ambassador
for China) and our new representative have
the most cordial feeling for and the best under
standing with each other, which give assur-
ance that the reciprocal interests of both coun-
tries will be promoted The dawn Of grand
future begins to burst upon the great empire
of Asia as we'll as upon the commerce Of the
United States with that part of the world and
Mr.. Browne goes TO the scene Of his labors at
the mos. fortunate time ard under tba most
favorable circumstances.
