MALAcB.-Thc attack upon the GAZETTE by
Ercry Eccainq, the organ of the Custom House
clique, yesterday, was false and malicious, and
shows how utterly regardless that paper is as to
the language It when it hepes 10 injure
contemporary by the utterance of falsehoods.
The GAZETTE, every one knows is not a favor
,se with Radical ofice-holders, and its reporters
were rot of the favored few to whom the secret
expedition was made known. 1t is doubtful
whether the reporter of the organ of the Custom
House clique would have been made party to
the excursion to the Capes and Lewes, in the u.
s. Revenue Cutter, il there had not been desire
10 have the affair and those connected with II
highly cxtolled. 1t would be a new thing, and
almost objectionable in the Radicals to have ta-
ken a GAZETTE reporter with them. Indeed, We
DO not think he would have felt at all at home in
the company Of some of the parties, or cared to
have accepted of IN invitation had il been cx-
tended to him.
That he may have been misled or deceived by
some is especial cause for rejoicing by our neigh
bor bnt considering it was doing the work for
The Radical officials interested in the affair, il
does not show much enterprise to have reported
it in its third edition. 1t had not q single tele-
gram on the subject, and yet complains that the

AFTER the smugglers' Brandy.

The party secretly organizsd in this city to
.'gobble up" the emugelers' brandy at Lewes did
not succeed in the main object. This is quite
evident from the testimony, they missed the
immense stores of old brandy that was supposed
to be hid away for future sale.
The whole expedition looked SO much like n
party Of pleasure seekers that many crsons were
deceived into believing that the Government
vessel was being used for private purposes; and
in fact it seems to have been in part SO used rs
the invited favorites of the Custom House and
the L. s. Marshal, including reporters from their
separate organs were taken to Cape May and NO
Joubt Jared sumptuously. Precisely how much
it has or will cost the Government to make these
few arrests will never he known. They could all
have been arrested quite easily by citizens
summoned by the u s. Marshal at Lewcs, unless
the Government officer there considered in
competent or derelict in his duty.
The whole aiI,ir was more of failure than
success, and the attembt of Erery Erening to
make it n matter for which the officials deserved
any special glorifcaticn will prove dead failure

a NORTH CAROLINA HoRsEwoMAN.
A North Carolina young lady, accord
ing to a local journal, recently started
for horseback ride near Morgantown,
in that State. She was riding rapidly
with a gentleman down long slope,
when the gentleman's horse stumbled
and fell. The lady's horse cleared both
him and rider at one leap, and then
became quito unmanageable. Two
hundred yards farther on narrow lane
was 5lockaded by colorcd mans mule,
and cart square across it. Her horse
was careering at full speed. To pass
around was impossible, to stop equally
so; but the agile animal at one fearful
bound cleared colorcd man, mule, and
cart. The charming equestrienne never
for moment lost her balance, and was
laughing gayly whom her horse was
checked two miles further on.

One Legged Breeches.

~ onc leSScu soldler walking up the
Bowery, was accosted by clothing
merchant with the usual "Sell you
something's to-day 7" Entering the store,
tho veteran was invited to inspect the
large stock, but having looked through
array OF coats and vests and trowsers, lie
turned to 60, saying that he'saw moth
ing there that would suit him.
"Fell, vat you wants ?"
81 want pair Of one legged panta
looms"
"Vas dat all? Yacob, bring me one
of dem one legged gray pants on dat
pile in de corner"
In few minutes Jacob returned and
reported that the last pair had been
sold.
Meanwhile the, partner next door
who had been listening through the
thin partition, had mapped out plan
of campaign against the one legged
cripple. "Yohn," he whispered to an
attendant, "cut me off de leg of one Of
dem gray pants. Send him up, quick p
by the time this had been done, the
soldier had hobblcd out of the first store
only to be inveiglod into the second.
Again he went through the inspection
OF odds and ends, and again demanded
one legged trowscrs, limiting that he
didn't believe the trader had them.
"Not halfcne legged pants Fadder
Noses, vat you takes me for? .Yohn,
bring me Que Of dem one leggel gray
pants in dat pile in de back of do
shtore"
The newly altered trowsars were pro
duccd, and the waggish soldier gave
himself up as lost. But as he spread
them before him, he became conscious,
as did the dealer, Of something wrong.
"Mcin Got! Fadder Abraham!
Yohn, you hafruin me You haf cut
I off de wrong leg ]"
+.s' .Illiis was pfsbably che same dealer
who was recently called upon by
young man for coat A fit was made
i'm due time, and then came the haes
ling about the price. First, twenty
dollars was fixed, then the clothier
abatea dollar after dollar, fighting his
way inch by inch, until at length he
had offered the garment for eight
d liars.
"Do you think I'm made of money 2"
asked the young man Indignantly, as he
turned to depart.
Say, you como pack /! sell you
dat coat Of it cost me leg. Vot you
gif for him, say now?'
"l'll give you two dollars"
"Two dollars! Wy dc buttons ish

"No I'll give you two dolars."
"Vell, take him. 1t was a pooty
coat. You gif me two and a quarter 2"
PRODUCING the two dollars, the young
man moved away with his purchase
but as he reached the door he heard the
dealer exclaiin, with uplfted hands
"Gott help me l only make one
dollar on dat coat %
Another Of the Chatham street dealers
had what he called army brogans aud
cavalry boots. An cxsodier purchased
pair of the litter one rainy day, but
returned to the store Within few min
utcs, complaining that the soles were Of
pastcboard, and had already soaked to
pulp

asked the dealer.

Attachment against Harry Genet.

New YORK, Dec. 20,
There was motion made before Judge
Donohuc of the supreme court chambers
this afternoon to s,ave the attachment
granted by him against the property of
Henry w. Genet. The attachment was
granted on an affidavit of fraudulent APP
preparation of ST. 500 received for the Har-
lem new court house and defendants con-
viction and escape before sentence, and his
subsequent concealmcnt within or abscond-
ing from the state. The motion was on the
ground that the law only allows an attach
ment where the defendant absconds to de-
fraud creditors, and no such intention was
alleged in this case but one to avoid SEN
tencc. The judge denied the motion with
out hearing the other side.
