Clerical Debauchery.

There is a paper in the country called
lions Herald, edited by the Rev. Gilbert
Haven. 1t claims to be an influential or
gan of the Methodist Church. This Rev
erend goes point blank for the amalgama-
ton of the races He says '"The lightest
and the darkest of the children of Adam
and Noah are divinely planted together in
this land, that they may, by obeying this
law which God has ordained, work out the
perfect oneness of the race of man" The
sweet-toothed, lecherous, and brutalized di-
vine thus revels in Imagination: "And the
hour is not far off when the white-hued
husband shall boast of the dusky beauty
of his wife, and the Caucasian wife shall ad-
mire the sun-kissed countenance of her
husband. Not few of these marriages
which God has made, and whose validity
man in few instances has reluctantly ac-
knowledged, are already filling homes with
happiness, and both prophesying and lead
ing the way 70 the future unity and bless
edness of America. Amalgamation is God g
word, declaring the oneness of man ,ordain.
ing its universal recognition" Thus spaaks
the Rev. Gilbert Haven, editor of zioa'j
Herald If the Mongrels of the o-juntrz
have their own way, an effete, miserable
mentally and physically degenerate race Of
human beings, mn.tled, speckled, molasses
hued and short-hved, will curse the United
States, as the South American Republics
are now cursed.

Burning of the Steamship MexicO--IIigh
Water In the BIississippi-Crevasses i'm the
Levee ut Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, May Is, 1869.
The steamship Mexico, which has been lying at
the wharf for several weeks took fire at two O'Clock
this morning and burned till she sunk at O'Clock.
No cargo or any combustibes were known to be on
board. The fire as undoubtedly the work of
incendlary The fire inspector reports the vessel
recently sold-it is rumored TO the Cubans. There
Is no Insurance.
The crevasse reported several days ago at valer's
plantation, below the city, has been abandoned as
hopeless The repairs by the negro soldiers and
plantation hands washed away as fast as constructed.
The opening was about eighty feet wide and eight
feet In depth at last accounts and Is increasing.
Another crevasse occurred only half q mile
below the city limits last evening, but
company OF negro soldiers, who were promptly sent
from the barracks, closed the gap and strengthened
the levee. The water Is about Two inches below
high water mark, but Is driven 10y high northwest
winds sometimes above the mars. The wharves at
the head OF Poydras ana Fayette streets are sub
merged. Considerable alarm Is felt, and q strict
watch Is kept on the levees on the city front.
The steamers Virginia aud Louisiana report that q
serious crevasse occurred on sunday west OF Baton
Rouge parish, nearly opposite Port Hudson. The
Baton Rouge Advocate OF Monday says this crevasse
caused a sudden fall Of two uches In the river at
that point; also that oil attempts to close IL were
Intellectual owing to the sandy soil and the extent Of
the break, which was then sixty yards wide.

trary Notwithstanding.

England and France-The Tripartite Alliance.
France just now is in peck Of troubles.
Riots have already taken place in Paris under
the excitement Of the approaching elections.
Napoleon has few stronger desires than to
find good reason to make the French people
look abroad. It is not otherwise with Eng
land. Reforms are not contenting the people.
We cannot say that France wishes to 60 to
war with America; for we know that France
has not forgotten her ignominious retreat from
Mexico and the cause of the same. The New
Dominion is too near us and is too helpless
not to speak Of the excitement which now
exists on the Alabama claims question-for
England to have any desire to provoke hostili
ties with this country. Rumor, however, is
sometimes as serviceable as actual facts. If
this tripartite alliance rumor has any Euro
pean foundation at all 1t would not surprise us
to learn that it owes its origin to the domestic
troubles from which France and England are
now suffering If the minds of the French
and British people are filed with thoughts
that relate to foreign countries they will be
the less occupied with domestic questions. If
gas must escape, the less dangerous the chan
mel the better. This rumor Of an alliance may
prove as convenient as any other.

POUGHKEEPSIE.

BURGLARs' RAID.-After midnight OF Wednesday
a gang OF burglars made demonstrations upon Main
street aud Upper landings, committing large
amount OF mischief, without realizing anything OF
consequence for their labor. At Gaylord. Vail Il
Doty's Main street landing, they gained admission
TO the companys Office through the window under
the arch. They drilled hole through q chilled iron
plate OF the safe, inserted powder ana blew
OF the inside Of the door. Gaining access by
this means, they overnaued all the papers IN
the safe, but up to the time OF our writing
nothing is discovered to have been taken. There
was small iron box In the safe which would have
paid them better, but they left IL undisturbed AS
the miller arrived about twelve o'clock t Is supposed
they became alarmed and left. The burglary was
not discovered until yesterday morning. At
the Upper landing of Messrs Doughty, Cor.
nell a Co., they opened wndew by means
of a Jimmy. They then Knocked the handle
from the safe door, wrenchcd she spout from an
oilncan and used the tube for pouring pow
der into the opening they had made In the
door OF the safe. The explosion gave them access
to it, and the contents were rummaSed. They found
about 500. The papers In the Office were generally
overhauled, but the burglars found nothing else
available. Three men were seen from neighboring
house walking away between three and four O'Clock
the same morning, probably with the INTENTION OF
taking the New YORK tram which leaves about tnat
time. The same night William Boddin's residence,
at Milton Ferry. four miles soutn was entered aud
robbed OF silverware, watch and fifteen dollars In
money.

A Model Legislature.

For many years there has not been such
heavy burden of legislation carried on the
shoulders of the representatives of the people
of this State at Albany, nor so protracted a
session, laying such heavy tax of labor upon
each member, as during the session just con-
cluded. For one hundred and twenty-iv
days, and good many nights, the legislative
session was ground out. In former times each
day of legislation was supposed to accumulate
fresh mischief for the taxpayers, but, allowing
for the inevitable amount of bad legislation,
jobs and corruption, without which Albany
would lose its identity, we in this city do not
appear TO have suffered much.
It is true that corruption flourished and held
Its head high among the members of the ma
iority IL is true also that there was little at
tempt at disguise upon this point. In the
Senate especially II is said that certain repub-
licans were openly in the market, and that wise
lobbyists could fix their price to mill upon the
vote of these men. They were denounced as
traitors to their party by their own colleagues
and attacked fiercely by the party journals
They were threatened with political annihila-
tion If they bolted from the party platform,
whatever that may have been, as regarded
each bill before the Legislature; but there were
syren voices so attractive on the other side
that these weak republican members had to
succumb to their seductive strains.
With all this alleged generalization we
have to see the tax leves before us in de-
tail before we can realize how much this
city has been victimized. SO far it does not
appear that we have been very grievously
afflicted, the increase of the city levy not
being after all disproportionate with the in
crease Of population and property, while the
assessment shows slight and most accepta-
BILE decline. There was probably at no pre-
vious session so much money expended; but
then there we're heavy and gigantic interests
at stake--the railroads which went through
triumphantly with their consolidation bills
and legalizing of scrip; the numerous
city railroads which, although defeated by
votes or vetoes, had, of course, to come down
handsomely; the Excise law, with the mil
lions involved in its success; the Gas bill,
strenuousy worked as IL was, but met with
the omnipotent strength of gigantic monopolies
at every point-from all these sources, as from
the rivers that supply the Nile, poured in
flood of corruption which might well have
overrun all the public virtue which ordinarily
clothes frail humanity as it is represented in
Albany during the legislative session. If the
late Legislature was not model one we know
where TO look for the reason whv
