rebellion on very small scale, lnc'ted ey
thc ultra Radical tricksters Of THE city.
The lste Mayor (CHAuooSl was made the

over the Old Market, where he went into

right OF the Governor to appoint City
Council and the right of the Council

Under the general order no person was
allowed To enter the hall they occupied, and
among those who applied for admission was

they Instructed communication with Fede-

proceeding, gave bail, we're discharged, and
promptly returned to their duty.
Thus stood the matter last night-roor

might be found all-eficient for large and spe-
cial characters.
Such is the history of the revolutions which
the art of multiplying documents has under
gone in China during some twelve centuries.
At the present day, printing by means OF
movable types is making its way gradually in
that country, and probably before long the
use Of wooden blocks will be discontinued.
Many important works have issued from pri-
vate presses; amongst others, "Wout-hsien-
heou-p -pien, treatise on the military art, in
twenty-four volumes; i-li-yan-pien, 7"
a tonic dictionary of the names of towns, in
sixteen volumes, 4to; "Hai-koue-thou-tchi, q
descriptive geography of the globe, from Chi
nese and European sources, in twenty vol
umes, Alto. These editions are far from rival
ling those of the imperial press, but they are
well executed, and more correct than those
obtained from wooden blocks, as the Chinese
printers, in using movable types, have natu-
rally adopted the European and American
system Of proofs and revises.

[ From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Feb. ~. ]
Mr.. Baber, one of the members from
the county of Franklin, has introduced
an excellent bill into the Oni" House
which looks to the throwing of legal
safeguards and protection arc1'd the pri-
mary meetings of the respective par
ties that may be held for election purpo-
SEES. At present there is no safeguard
whatever, and to large extent the meet
inss are the greatest Of farces. Yet in
these meetings the whole Of our political
impurities exist at the source of power,
how can we expect to escape them when
they run into the sea Of Legislation ? The
bill provides for advertising the meet
ings, with a statement Of the conditions
which suffrage is to be exercised; for lie:
gal officers to conduct them, empowered
to administer legal oath, the violation
of which may be punished by fne and
imprisonment. The evils growing out Of
the present system are 80 enormous that
it is well worth while to try what virtue
there is in this enactment. 1t it works
we'll il will be adopted by all the States,
aud effect great goo in the publication
of our politics. It is intended to break
up the interference Of one party with the
primary meetings of another, and TO pre-
vent illegal voting and illegal counting
