the Radicals weeks after the election.
There is no redress through the courts, be-
cause those to which alone application can be
made are but the creatures of usurpation,
whose existence depends upon continuation
OF Radical rule in defiance OF the expressed
will of the people. These returning officers
have been now for seven weeks dallying with
the liberties and rights of the people of an
entire State, apparently waiting until an op-
portunlty is offered for them to consummate
their contemplated yillainy by promulgatiDg a
Radical majority as elected to the Legislature.
They hope to do this with impunity, because
the State-House where they sit is garrisoned
with Kellogg standing army of metropolitan
police. with several companies of the army OF
the United States within fifty yards. and the
whole force OF the army and navy within the

THE PRINCE o. WALES.


NEW York, August $ "A London
letter says. "a report has suddenly
gained currency that the long expected
crisis has occurred in the financial af-
fairs OF the Prince Of Wales, and that
the ministry have made up their minds
TO propose 10 the house Of commons next
session 10 pay bis debts, the sum named
being six hundred aud forty thousand
pounds sterling, four times the sum
voted in l7s7 to appease the creditors Of
that pattern Of royalty, who afterward,
became George ~. About paying the
bills, there are certain 10 be two power
fui and contradictory sentiments; one,
that the hOLOr % the country is con-
cerned in providing for the debls Of its
future king; the other, that these debts
are Of such character that they ought
to De paid out OF the accumulated for
tune Of the queen. The latter view
rests on the well -kuOTn fact that the
queen has been receiving, ever since the
death OF Prince Albert, the whole of the
income, cS,lcu sted at her accession to
support the expenses Of the court IN the
usual degree OF splendOr; that her ms les
ty has, however, lived duril 2 tHis Pc

and that the cost Of draw ing-rcOn le-

to such a burden. TIE exis,ing debts.
or considerable part Of them, have,
according to this theory, been Incurred
in the discharge OF these duties, and
hence II is urged that the queen, who
has had and kept the moEsy given 10
her by the Stale iUr such purposes,
ought to pay them. The Prince Of
Wales has forty thousand pounds a wear,
plus the revenue Of the ducby Of Corn
wall, which now amounts to over one
hundred thousand pounds per anuum.

NEW YORK, August S.-A murder Oc-
cured last night in the eastern district
of-Brooklyn, growing out of conflict
which exists between the members of
the PissteIers' union and EOn-sOciety
men. A building is in course of erection
At North Seventh and Fourth street, and
the owner hired some nOn-sOciety men
a short time ago to DO the plastering, as
they agreed to work ten instead Of
eight hours q day. Numerous threats
have been made against them 10y sOele-
ty men during the past three days, and
especially by a number Of masOns who
were working eight hours on some
buildings near at band. Last night
three Of the latter, James Rillduff,
Thomas Mclaughlin and John Kings
ton, quit work as usual at five O'Clock
and started for the building where the
nou-sOciety men were 81 work, determ-
med, as they stated, TO teach them a
lesson that would prevent them from
acting in opposition TO the wishes Of the
union. Arriving there they began
an assault upon the men at work. Riil-
duff led the assault and struck one Of
the men, while Mclaughlin Knocked
another down. Rilduf was elected
from the building and was about to
strike with n stone the man be first as
saulted, when Frank Stack, the watch
man of the premises, and who bad been
thus far a spectator of the fight, seized
a plgsterer's hammer and striking Kill
duff upon the head killed him instantly.
All persons in the building were arrest

Laughlin and Kingston, who joined
Rulduff in the assault, were locked up.

We publish elsewhere two letters in

Glad as we are that there was no real

that the generation just entered upon
