The Two Tickets.

The Richmond county Sentinel, Re-
publican paper, comments at length on the
two tickets placed in nomination in this
State. 1t says:
OF the Republican ticket, after the gov
ernor, we believe it may safely be said that
the candidates are all honest men. and for
the most part would fill their offices in an
acceptable manner. But the convention
was particularly unfortunate In selecting
three candidates almost FOUR from the
second district, and ignoring the claims OF
the Scandinavian portion of our voters.
LII Madison and the second district have
qult-claim to nearly all, at least all the
best state officers. then it was all right and
the people will confer thoir nominations;
but If they have not such quit claim,
some of the voters may feel inclined to re-
buke the ostentatious greed OF the good
folks of Madison, and venture at least for
once to vote for some good man outside
of that district
Taken altogether it looks like the weak
est ticket the Republicans have put up for
the last eight years; and SO exclusively par
tlzan that many men of enlarged and liberal
views, who cannot be persuaded that 1t is
good policy to crush the people to save the
party, will not be largely attracted to its
support.
The Democratic ticket is made up for the
most part of men not generally, or extern
sively known to the electors of the State,
and consequently they must be taken on
trial but from what is known of them they
stand fair before the people And mas
much as they are pledged to the principles
of retrenchment, equalization of taxation,
and internal imp. ovement they will poll a
large vote, notwithstanding the party has
been in the minority in the state for mum
of years.
But we think the convention made mis-
take in not being more explicit liz several
points of retrcncbment, and taking more
definite and advanced p osition for reform in
our public expenses. SO much for an in
dependent view of the parties In the pres
ent canvass.

UNDER ROME.
Immenfs Discoveries of Marble Be-
meath the Papal Capital.
From the New York World

AS our readers are aware, excavations
buried city which les beneath Christian
Rome-have Cor some time been carried on
under the personal direction Of the Pope
who, in addition 10 his o.lher graces, has
the taste Of a scholar and the yea. aud
curiosity Of al archaeologist The results of
these exp 'orations, especially the more re-
est. The predecessor of the present
same direction, but the operations conduct
ed under his direction did not result in
equal important and interesting discoveries.
During The time of Gregory, the monu,
mental facade of the Claudian Aqueduct
was cleared away from the rude works
thrown up against it IN some ancient siege,
and its magnificent proportions were fully
disclosed. In the progress of this work a
Roman tomb Was discovered beneath the
rubbish, erected to the memory of worthy
and wealthy baker, Virgilius Euryaces
and his wife. The tomb was dec GRATED
with portrait statutes and relieyi illustrat
ing the business which led the deceased to
fortune and to homer. A similar work is
now In progress at The Marician Aqueduct,
and the whole Of It's monumental facade is
to be cleared away from the Notifications
and superstructures of the middle ages, and
Marclaniwaters are to flow, as of old, to re-
fresh the inhabitants of the Eternal City
The most valuable of all the discoveries,
made, however, is that al the ancient wharf
Of the Emporium, where, buried beneath
the accumulated rubbish of more than a
thousand years, is an inexhaustable stock
of blocks OF marble Of the most costly and
rare qualities. The blocks already taken
out, some Of which are of exceeding beauty,
are valued at $500, 600; and, as the depot
OF these treasures is said to extend dowr
the left bank of the Tiber, from the Aven
tine to the church of St. Paul beyond the
walls, it is probabale that his Holiness has
there store of almost boundless wealth.
Among the masses got out rescentlv were
a great block of rose coored Oriental
alabaster, another of pavonazetto, several
of gallo aDtico, and fifteen pieces of At
rican marble, of which ouly two had hith,
erto been knownin Rome. Thirteen pieces
of the precious murrhae, which the ancient
Romans priced above all other stones, have
also been discovered. His Holiness is very
generous with his treasures. He has de
voted some of them to the restoration of
Aggrippa's Pantheon, and to the estab-
lishment of twenty one churches in Rome;
but he has also sent valuable marble to va
rious churches in Europe, and has promis-
ed Archbishop Manning an assortment of
the most precious kinds for the Roman
Catholic Cattle dral in London We doubt
not that his Holiness will be equally gra-
cious to Archbishop McClosky, and that
We shall hear that to that prelate has been
given some Of these treasures for the en-
| richment of the magnificent catheral which
is now making such slow progress to
completion on Fifth avenue.

AN IMMENSE FORTUNE.
More About the Young Milllner who
Inherited S17,OOO,OOO.
from the Albany ARGUS. 9th. I

Some days since We saw a statement
that young woman named Ellen Grey,
who lives in Washington county, between
Fort Edward and Sandy HILL had fallen
heir to an immense fortune in England
But thinking that the statement would
prove to be a canard, as such statements
usually are, We took no notice of it. We
have since learned, however, from reliable
sources, some facts in regard to this roman
tic case, which In connection with the re
ported magnitude of the bequest, deserve
to pc repeated. Our informant, a promi-
nant resident Of Fort Edward, states that
some years since young Englishman
while travelling in this country, became ac-
quainted with, and enamoured OF Miss
Gray, who was then and since been engag
ed in working at the trade of mllllner.
The parties were, engaged to be married,
but, without cODSummalng the engage
melt by marriage, the gentleman returned
to England. Soon after, by the death of
relatives, he inherited an immense estate,
valued at the enoromus sum OF seventeen
thousand dollars He lived but a short
time to employ his vast possessions, and,
dying, he bequeathed them to his betrsth-
ed. The natural heirs contested the will,
but recent advicos states that it has been
sustained by the courts.
In August last the fortunate heiress had
made preparations to visit England, in
company with Dir. Little, prominent res
ident of Fort Edward, for the purpose of
looking after her pecuniary interests but
just before the time appointed for starting
she received advice to the effect that her
business matters had been satisfactorily ad
juSted, and that the sum of IS, 900, 600
would be sent to her in December, and the
balance as soon thereafter a.. possible. This
information prevented the contemplated
visit Nearly the whole of this vast estate
is said to be invested in consols.
Miss Grey is about thirty years Of age,
and is spoken of as a lady of good sense
and refinement, whose head is not likely to
be turned by he extraordinary fortune.
Her mother and sisters arrived to share in
it with her.
