yoUNG MEN WANTED,

The Lexington (Ky.) Press laments over
the scarcity of young men in that city. 1t
says:
One of Lexington's greatest needs is
young men; sure enough young men; net
walking tailor shops; young men of stong
sense, who know how to work, and are
willing to do it; young men destitute of
false pride and false modesty, and gifteda
with plenty of energy, moral courage, and
Independence; young m who can be con-
strained to do something more than handle
a billiard cue, or whittle pine box. The
decline Of almost any American town be-
gins with the decline of its young mep.
when they cease to work; when they be-
come contented to live upon the earnings of
their honest and industrious fathers and
grandfathers; and when they simmer and
settle down into nothing but gorgeous
mass of seal rings, flaming neckties, boiled
shirts, lavender kids, and shiny hats, and
become simply men of the town, woe to
the trade, business and progress of the
place they live in.
0, ye gods! give us supply of young
men who Pre not too dainty to sweep out
store; who are not afraid to carry bundle
through the streets, and who will not faint
if their lady friends see them rolling
wheelbarrow. Give US young men who
havsthe spirit to do some thing more than
wear out the seats of their breeches on store
boxes and nail-kegs, and then viii the day
of Lexington's deliverance be at hand, then
will manufactures and business increase,
and our town will begin to be known for
something else than the number of her
wheeled vehicles and fashionable entertain
ments.

The Recent Channel Horror.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-A telegraphic dis
patch to the Lloyds from their agent at
Cadiz states that it was the Spanish steamer
Murillo which ran into and sank the emil
grant ship Northfeet off Dungeness light
house On the night of the 22d inst. The
steamship, however, was not sunk herself
as was at one time believed, but has arrived
at Cadiz in safety. Her destination was
Lisbon, for which port she had cargo, but
on entering that harbor she was signaled
not to land as there is an extradition treaty
between Portugal and Great Britain under
which the officers would have been surren-
dered to the British authorities to answer
the charges brought against them. She
consequently put to sea again and proceed
ed for Cadiz, as there is no extradition
treaty between Great Britain and Spain.
The Murrillo sustained no damage by the
collision. Her officers and crew will soon
be examined at Cad in relation to the
disaster.
CADIz, Jan. 31.-The depositions of the
officers of the steamer Murillo will be
taken tomorrow.

Mistriai in the Tweed Case.
II for Acquittal to 1 for Conviction.
Tne Jury Discharged.

The jury Discharged.
New YORK, Jan. 31.-In the Tweed
case the jury came into the court at half
past 10 O'Clock this morning, when the fore
man announced that they could not posi-
bly, agree. They were accordingly dis
charged. There was an immense gathering
to hear the result. After the announce
ment by the foreman that he thought the
jury, could not agree, Judge Davis ex-
pressed desire to hear from the others as
to the probability of agreement. Another
juror then said that the jury were OF the
same mind since II O'Clock last night, and
there was no prospect of agreement. MIR.
Peckham, for the prosecution, then ad-
dressed the court applying for another trial
forthwith. Defendants counsel thought it
would be hardship to go over the case
again now. Tweed's civil suit was set for
Feb. II, and preparation for it was neces-
sary. After some further argument the
court said it would decide the matter of
new trial tomorrow.
1t is stated that at the poll of the jury for
the third time after retiring, the vote
stood eleven for acquital and one for con-
victlon. The dissenting juror is said to be
Mr.. Hazleton who remained firm to the
close, notwithstanding the-efforts of his as
sociates to induce him to change. Fullerton,
counsel for Tweed, thiuks the defense have
won a great and uneX Xpected victory, and
he was somewhat surprised that any of the
jurymen shonld favor acquittsl after listen
ing to the inflsmmatory and argumentative
charge of Judge Davis. He adds that
Tweed proposes 10 continue the fight With
all tie stubbornness of his nature.
Wheeler P. Peckham, counsel for the
prosecution, is exceedingly mortified with
the result of the trial, and strongly hints
that the disagreement of the jury was se-
cured in An Illegal manner aud the jury
must have been influenced by mercenary
motives. The case will be Immediately
brought up for Ietrial, aud the prosecution
confidently look forward to successful
issue.
