The first sews from New Hampshire, TO
the effect that Democratic victory had
been gained, had the effect of carrying up
the price Of gold in the New York market.
This shows more clearly than anything else,
that after all that is said about political rev
Olution because Mr.. Sumner was not graft
fed in his every wish, the people are not
prepared for the accession of the Democracy
to power.

The eyes Of the Democratic press have
been opened. a new light has shown on
them. Mr.. Sumner was formerly denounc-
ed by the Democratic journals as an enemy
to his country, an aristocrat, a mere intel
lectual bubble, and gross violator of the
Constitution Now he is extolled by them
as the very paragon of political virtue. We
don object.

Napoleon has gone to England, while the

The first is a voluntary exile and ruined

The Black Sea difficulty is reported set
tied, Russia having practically gained all
her demands. The Black Sea is to be open
to men of war, the Sultan being permitted
TO admit the war vessels OF other nations

The contest for the political control of the
State of Arkansas, which at one time was
SO serious as to threaten civil war, seems TO
have been happily settled, at least for the
present. Lieut. Gov johnson, who was
elected as Republican. but who recently
quarreled with Gov. Clayton and his admin
istration, and affiliated with the Democrats,
resigned his Office few days ago, and was
subsequently appointed by Gov. Clayton to
the position of Secretary of State, in place
of Mr.. White, resigned. The Senate then
elected Mr. y. A. Hadley as President of
that body, whereupon Gov. Clayton again
becomes candidate for q seat in the T. S.
Senate, which he had recently declined. and
is elected. 1t is well known that he declin-
ed the seat heretofore because he believed
his acceptance of it. with johnson as his
successor in the Executive chair, would put
the State Administration into the hands of
the Democrats Now, by provision of law,
Mr. Hadley, sound Republican, becomes
Governor of the State for the remainder of
Gov. Claytou's term.

The Press says: 'The Democratic papers
have attempted to make much political cap
ital out Of the recent riot at Meridian, Miss,
but have lamentably failed. According to a
rebel paper printed in Meridian, it origina-
ted in the knocking down of negro who
was Standing gazing at Il FIRE and praying
that all rebels property might be destroy
ed. For this crime he was knocked down,
trutally beaten, dragged before police
court, and because he contradicted wit
ness, shot down in cold blood. OF course
the negro was fomenting disturbance and
stirring up enurity between the two races,
and OF course he and FIVE other negroes had
to be murdered for it, one Judge killed and
another escorted to railroad train and in
vited to leave and never return. Such is
society at the South.

NEW ORLEANS BUILDING ASSOCIATION.

As provided in the charter of this institution, no
assessment will be made until fifty thousand dol
lars were subscribed. Over that amount having
already been subscribed, ten per cent on the same
is now due; likewise, the same will be required on
all subsequent subscriptions at the time OF sub
scribng. No second installment will be due until
over $500 900 are subscribed, when there viii be
due notice given for a general meeting of stock
holders to participate in an election for officers,
and moreover, to discuss and settle such questions
as may be suggested by any of the members. In
the meantime, there shall be no accumulation of
expenses. Several lots for building upon are al
ready secured but Operations must of necessity be
only TO admitted extent until the greater part of the
capital stock is subscribed, during which time
however, stockholders only can be accommodated,
aud outsiders not until there shall be surplus
funds, or until the wants of the stockholders are
provided for. Consequently it behooves all who
contemplate or desire the advantages and facil-
ties offered by this association, to become owners

There has not been, nor will not be, any pre-

in its behalf for certainly it will be to the interest
of this association to commence work as soon as
possible. Besides the constant demand daily here
at this Office for houses, etc., terms as provided
by the charter and bylaws. are almost innumer-

cured by unquestionable collaterals, and the in

lively, and guaranteed to stockholders hereafter in
reality as far transactions extend. And judging
from the demands heretofore and at present. there
is no reason to doubt but that the association can
be kept constantly employed, with every dollar of
its capital securely and proftably invested

Recorder Hackett, charging the Grand
Jury in the Westfield case, said: "A great
example will be set by holding the president
and directors of common carriers resp0n
sible."
Suits have been instituted against the
Staten Island Ferry Company for sums
ranging from five to fifty thousand dollars.
AT meeting of the Grand Jury to-day,
Recorder Hackett delivered special charge
on the subject of the Westfeld boiler ex-
plosion.
The Judge pointed out the provisions of
the law applicable to the case, and circum-
stances necessary to be found to exist, in
order to reach the president of the COM
pany, superintendent and engineer.
Recorder Hackett said: 1t is too often the
case that subordinates are made scapegoats
for erring officials who are over them and
who are more powerful in place and means.
If it is possible, ON the facts and law, to
hold the present directors, ETC., of common
carriers responsible for accidents happen
ing to passengers, whose lives and limbs
they are bound to insure against negligence,
then great and beneficial example would
be set. These officials exact liberal commu-
tations and fares, and they should be held
to the utmost vigilance.
He concluded, saying, with whole ma
ton looking at our judicial action upon this
great catastrophe, let us all give no room
for after reproaches from any quarter.
At meeting of the yacht club to-day,
Mr.. Ashbury's propositions for race for the

representatives of the Royal Harwich Yacht
Club only, and that victory in a majority of
races should decide who shall be possessor
of the cup. The present cruise of the New
York Yacht Club will end on Tuesday, when
the feet will break up.

We copy this from the Nation.

Suppose Warmoth and his Republicans in
New Orleans had been men of nerve enough
to attempt the enforcement of their right to
seats in the State Republican convention,
and the State Governor had been shot down
by United States troops surrounding the
convention, not in obedience to the requisi-
ton of the Governor, but of the United
States Marshal, who wishes to be nominated
as Governor, and at the instance of the
United States Collector, who wishes to be a
senator; could the President in that case
have withstood the demand for the punish
ment of those officials by removals He has
most certainly not acted with sufficient
promptness for the country's good, or the
party's, or his own in this business; and in
case he should not act at all, his offepse
must surely be recollected against him.
