CAssERLY UNION DEMocRAT.-It is eyi-
dent, from the general tone of the newspapers
of the State, that the election of Hon. Eu-
gene Casserly to the U. S. Senate is looked
upon with considerable favor, and the general
impression prevails that he will prove more
acceptable to Union men than to Democrats,
as Senator. The dissatisfaction with which
the rebel wing Of the Democracy view his
election, indicates that the new Senator is
Objectionable to them, and shows that the
Union journals have something on which to
base their comments. The fact is, Casserly
is strong Union man in sentiment, and
never entertained any sympathy for the
secession wing of the Democratic party. The
following extract from letter written by
him in 1861 to F. T. Davenport, Chairman
of the Nevada County Democratic Commit
wing of the Democracy with suspicion and
distrust: 9 q. 3n


In common with all true friends Of Califor-
MIA, have seen with pain and surprise the
movements of the new party in favor of the
State ticket headed by John r. Mcconnell,
ESQ.,, for Governor. | am aware there are
upon that ticket, and among its supporters,
some who claim to be friends of the Union,
and who prove their friendship by giving up
the cause of the Union without blow; by
making haste to declare that the Union cannot
be saved, and the attempt to save tits almost
crime, by assailing most intemperately the
Governmentofthe Union and everything it has
done, whether right or wrong, maintain its If,
while they have not one word of censure for
those who are armed to destroy it, by clamor-
ing for peace, instant peace, with the hostile
States, at any rate and any price. Alas for
the Union, if it has to rely on friends like
these. The best good faith only gives them
power for greater mischief. Her open enemies
the country can face, and the false friends
that would betray her with a kiss she can
discover. She has no defence against the
mistaken friend, who, in the name of
" Peace" holds her hands in the death Crap
pie, while the enemy stabs her to the
heart


The cry of peace" in time of war, has its
attraction. Itappeals both to the good and
the selfish feelings, to our hearts and our pock
cts. None understand this better than Mr..
Mcconnell, and the adroit and practiced pol
itical leaders who surround him. But in their
mouths the cry is :" delusion and snare"
They are for peace" because, say they,
/" the Union cannot be preserved by war.
Ask them on what terms they propose peace,
and their answer, if they give one, will be,
:" The recognition of the Soutern Confedercy,"
as if that does not certainly and permanently
dismember and destroy the Union. They
are against war, because las they say it will
not preserve the Union and they are for the
immediate recognition of the " Southern Con-
fedracy," which most assuredly destroys it.
The love of the Union, which inspires such
conclusion at the very Threshold of the strug.
gle, is not very evident

The next race meeting of the American


Jockey Club at the Jerome Park will begin on
the 9th Of June. More than q hundred of the
finest horses in the country will be there by
the first of the month, and 1t is difficult to find
stabing for those which have already arrived.


Knee deep as the mud is at present, in conse-


quence of the deluging rains Of 'this lovely


month Of May" a few days of sunshine-for

to these very rains it must be said that they


will have given to the verdure and foliage of
this charming and favorite resort, not only Of
turfmen, but Of the elite of our metropolitan
society, additional depth and luxuriance.
The hearty and persistent enco'lr ,cment
which the HERALD has from the begin
ming bestowed upon the successful efforts
to make our Park unrivalled in its at
fractions led to the establishment Of
the Jerome Park as a delightful adjunct
and succursal. The result Is evinced by
the almost magical transformations offered by
these two parks, both of which have enlisted
the interest not only of the fashionable world
but of the great public. The change which has
been wrought by the direct influence Of the
Park and the Jerome Park is marvellous. Not
many years ago a well-appointed team and
an elegant turnout were so rare as to expose the
few who INDUCED in such displays to the charge
of eccentricity at least, If not Of ridiculous
apng Of foreign aristocratic ostentation. Philo-
sophical European travellers, like De Tocque-
vile, were inclined to comment on the tyranny
of public opinion which forced wealth to con-
ceal itself within doors. But now all take an

Public reprobation cannot be cast too
strongly upon the present conduct Of the I'm
peachment Managers. These men, abusing
the authority of the House to the purpose of
personal oppression, impudently pretend
right to go behind the verdict Of the
Senate to find if it was honest. With
out a shadow of probability, with out any
common impression even of public opinion to
support them, with nothing but their own ridi-
culous suspicious to proceed upon, they assume
that every republican vote cast against them
must have been corrupt. The very starting
point OF. their present investigation is the as
sumption that Senators Fessenden, Henderson,
Ross, Grimes and the rest are rogues, and
that their votes were bought for 50 much ready
cash. We know that the republican party is
rotten through and through with this very evil;
but we did not expect to have it so gratuitously
testified by republican leaders that the highest
and purest men in that party were not above
suspicion of the common motive. Yet we have
men brought up to swear what money they
have drawn in Washington, what they have
done with it, and what, during the time this

in the history of our country to see
Butler inquiring into mems bank accounts.

portunity to obtain information as to the
amount of money man has at command or as
to the whereabouts of the money; and if all

garding the financial part of this mans
history in New Orleans is entitled to
credit, he manages to make the in
formation pay. We know not, therefore, the
exact point of this inquiry into Wooley's
money affairs-whether the great impeachment
process has been switched of to minister to
Buffers peculiar curiosity" and such money
as the witness has left is to be, like the New
Orleans gold, 'paid into the United States
Treasury" through Butler, or whether this in
vestigation is only intended as gigantic
insult to the honest members of the Senate, to
show the opinion held of them by their party
associates.

of the ItaAan Opera in New York thousands
were attracted by it who cared less for music
than for the pleasure of seeing and being seen,
80 thousands who care little for the special
object of the races in Jerome Park will be
attracted to them for a similar reason. And
gradually the races will lead, as the Italian
Opera promised to lead, and Notwithstanding
all the drawbacks of mismanagement actually
did lead, to higher appreciation and enjoy

The Fire Neutrality-suspicious. Bono to the


Dogs Of Omce.


By recent act of the Legislature the business of
the Fire Marshal's Office, now transacted with
out expense to the city by Fire Marshal Baker,
has been erected into a regular bureau, which
is to cost this tax-ridden community twenty-five
thousand dollars per year. The appointing of
a head for this bureau has also been vested in
the Police Commissioners, a political vehicle
having been created out of that which was
originally prudential Office with pruden-
tial officer salaried by the several insurance
companies. The Office and title were origi-
mated some fourteen years since by the pre-
sent incumbent dc facto, and through it and
the very efficient and energetic action Of Fire
Marshal Baker it is estimated That at least
million dollars have been saved to the different
insurance companies Besides this, which is
an item of Importance, it is conceded that Mr..
Baker has proved most efficient aid in Sc
curing convictions for arson, two of which were
effected last winter. In this connection it is
only necessary to mention the cases of Castig-
neto, convicted of arson in the first degree in the
Court of General Sessions last winter, and of
Lambert, convicted about the same date in the
Court of Oyer and Terminer. In both these
cases the practical experience, shrewdness and
ingenuity of Fire Marshal Baker were the
means of securing conviction, and to him
the District Attorney was indebted for the
models, drawings and fitting together of those
delicate points of evidence without which prose-
cution in these cases cannot but prove boot
less. 1t must be remembered that in cases of
arson conviction generally depends upon a
minute adjustment of circumstances which
would be likely to escape the attention Of
any except the most experienced mind, and
that these circumstances must be noted at the
time and in the midst of the hurly-burly of
confagration.


The value of Fire Marshal Bakers shrewd-
ness, ingenuity and practical experience cannot
be overestimated and ought to secure for him,
regardless of all political considerations, the
recognition of the Police Commission.

he is an extremely amiable and interesting
looking boy, with wonderful air of not
exactly intelligence, perhaps, SO much as
precocious manliness of bearing for his
age-the natural effect of his bringing up,
and of the way in which, of late especially
he has been forced, as it were, into pub
lie notice. He lifts his boys cap with al
most painful gravity or dignity to return
salute, showing a head of fine dark au-
burn hair, with pretty wave in it, and
face which has grown more like his father,
and less strongly resembling his mother,
than it used to be- The brow expands
somewhat more on the Napoleon model,
and the expression of meekness, which
formerly predominatcd very decldedly,
has given place to greater thoughtfulncss
and intellectual development. The first
great danger to which he will be exposed
will probably arise from over forcing.

PoLIr1os AND THE SoUrH.-If the peo-

Germ themselves unduly about political
affairs, the fault, if fault there be, is charge
able to the radicals in Congress. The uni
versal desire among the whites of the South
is to 90 to work and make crops that will
pay debt and taxes, and yield a support for
their families. The reconstruction acts and
the military orders in pursuance of them,
require elections to be held with q view to
reorganization and restoration, and suffrage
is accorded to the whites. If they refuse to
vote they will be accused of sullenness, if
they vote for negro supremacy they will dis.
grace themselves, and the only conscientious
votes they can cast are against negroes,
mean whites and AfricaniEation. They feel
if the constitutions which are being framed
shall be ratified, they will be at the mercy
of q race, without education, property or
sympathy, and that they will be degraded
and ruined. If they did not, when required

WHAT CULTURE THE PEACH REQUIRES
The peach is known by the best cultiva-
tors as requiring great care in cultivation.
Few things that grow out of the earth will
pay so we'll for the care bestowed. And,
without care, the peach is a failure. This,
We may say, accounts to q great extent, for
the discouragements which attend the eul>
ture of this most delicious of fruits. It is
tender, aud therefore requires care it must
have it or it will fail Not only the amount
of the crop, but equally the quality, will
fail without care. Let no one attempt peach
culture, unless he intends to bestoW the
necessary time upon it. The grass must not
only be kept out, but the ground must be
mellow, and mellow throughout, but es-
pecially at top. FruitgroWers in the east
grow corn or other crops, which require the
stirring of the ground until the orchard
bears. Then, the trees are cultivated as one
would corn. The ground is kept we'll stirred /;
no grass nor weeds are permitted. This,
aside from the effect of the climate, is the
principal thing.
