j . Council. .

There is, perhaps, no more difficult task
than the‘ consolidation of a new political
organization out of the formerly dissoci-
ated members of old ones. There are
prejudices to be conquered, passions to
_be quieted, feelings of pride to be as-
suaged, sacrifices to be accomplished, and
concessions to be made, any of which
might well cause the boldest statesman

" to shrink from the undertaking. "No

statesman, indeed, could, be competent
for it; it is, pre-eminently‘"a work for
the people, for the individual citizens,
who, in the aggregate, are to ' make up
the new party. If they falter and hold
back, if they have no heart: for the great
task, if they prefer separate destruction
‘to united‘ power, if they are so little at-
tached to "some common sentiment, as to
make them unwilling to forego minor dif-
ferences, thenvthey" must be content to
see principles dear to all of them, as well
8.S_tlle opinions which they severallyprize
overwhelmed in one common defeat. ~

It was the clear conception, and full
appreciation of these views, that brought
together the Convention which assembled
in New Haven, on the 8th of January; it
was the same clear" conception and full
appreciation which led that body to its

Republican, or a Whig Convention, in
the sense ill which those party designa-
tions have been used in this State. It
was, emphatically, as styled in the pre-
amble to the Resolutions adopted, “ rm-1
DELEGATES or run Pl-:orl.E or CONNECTI-
cur, IN CONVENTION ASSE)"llBLED.” It was
asked in the debates, “by what name
shall we be called :2» ’ It‘ might well have
been answered, “namcsare but" shad-
ows, let us attain the substance of organi-
zation on common principles, and the
shadow will follow?’ It is a significant
fact that upon the final vote on the pro-
posed amendment to the platform, there
was not a single responsive “age,” and
that when the question was put, “ shall
the resolutions as reported by the Com-
mittee pass?” not one of that wll"ole body
of delegates answered “ml.y.”.
also with .the nominations.

widely differing preferences were enter-
tained, and freely expressed in "the" seve-
ral ballots, the results were nlade unani-
mous with an“ expression of hearty ac-
quiescence such as we have seldom wit-
nessed upon similar occasions. "

And now, in view of these things,
what is the duty of the individuals who
were represented-in the Convention ? . It
was openly avowed, prior to the 8th of
January, that an attempt was to be made
on that day, to consolidatc,_iu one politi-
cal organization, all the different cleulents
opposed to the sham Democracy. If the
attempt should result successfully, all old
party distillctiolls and organizations were
to be eiiaced, in order to give greater cf.
ficicncy to the new. To this course of
action, at least, the Gazette was distinct.
ly pledged, and we mean, in good faith,
to fulfill that pledge. “"0 have labored
arduously"‘——llow wisely or how efficiently,
it is for others to say——in the -American
ranks; the principles of the American
party are as dear to us as ever; the
Convention has in no wise interfered with
our rctelltiou or advocacy of ' them ; it
has, on the contrary, expressly disclaimed
all such interference. But we regard the
action of that Convention as inaugura-
ting a new party ill Connecticut, a party

' to whose principles as expressed in the

platform adopted, we are as ardently at-
tached as we are alld ever have been to
distinctive American sentiments. Good
faith requires of us, and of all who were
fairly represented in the Convention, an
unreserved adhesion to, and hearty sup-
port of the party thus inaugurated. \
And now, bearing ill mind the premises
laid down, we proceed to inquire what
ought to be done at the annual meeting
of the American State Council which
occurs on the‘ 10th of February? All
impression seems to‘ have gone abroad

‘And so»
Though '

' rv - .
vened by individuals dissatisfied with the
proceedings ofitlle Conv",eilt.ioll. Tlle im-"'
pression is a lllistokcll one. The meeting
of the 10tll is thefol-dinnry' annual busi-
ness . gathering of 3".tl_le Council, ll‘ot to
make llomillqtiolls, adopt platforms, or"_do
afliiflllng of the kind. ?."I"-ts assembling is
necessary, if no other_-_, purpose " than
‘to mergeits functions illto the organiza-
tion of the new party of the opposition.
And, in our deliberate judgmellt, this
should be the sole business transacted on
that occasion. The‘American sentiment
of . the State was fully, overwhelmingly
represented in the Convention. Other
organizatiolls were also represented there,
alld the wllole action of that body con-
stituted a solemn pledge on the part of all
those thus represented, to abandon old
distinctions alI modes of organization,
and unite heartily and llllqualifiedly ill
one and only one political party. The
Americans of Connecticut will keep that
pledge, in spirit and letter. In the two
years last past, they have done a noble
work ill this ancient Colnmomvealtll.—
Tlley first broke up the compact organi-
zation in which the sham Democracy had
intrencllcd itself ; they adopted and made
their own that wise constitutional pro-
visioll which makes education the basis of
the elective franchise; they further guar-
ded the purity. of the ballot box by cut-
ting off .the careless modes of naturaliza-
tion in the inferior Courts -of the State ;
theyprovided against the increase of ec-
clesiastical power in a llierarchyy essen-
tially foreign, by preventing’ the accull_lu-
lation of -Church Estates in the hands of
its priestllood; In our State" polity, they
accomplished a" reform in "one of the great
departments of government, the Judicial, ,
which all old parties had att.empted,"_jalld
all alike failed in the el_'l_de_'avor,; a reform
which," at last, has really made the bench
independent, by affording it an adequate
pecllniary support, _ and brought our
Courts of justice nearer to the right stan-
dard than ever before. "" And on the,
broad theatre of ‘federal affairs, when
called to contend with the whole power
of Slavery, in one of these national as-
semblages ‘ where that’ Institution had
everbefore been triumphant, the Ameri-
cans of Connecticut" met it face to face
audbeat it back. iWe are proud of our
service in such a party, and‘ it is because
we would have it still honored and es-
teemed by all good men, that we are anx-
ious to have those who have filled its
ranks guided by right counsels now. For
it is not to be concealed that the good
name of the American party of Connec-
ticut depends much on the proceedings of
the Council of February 10th.5 If that
body, in conformity with the pledge given
"before and at the State Convention, shall
merge its existence in-the new organiza-
tion so anspiciously commenced on the
8th of January, without attempting any
longer to keep up the semblance of arep-
resentative assembly with scarcely a con-
stituent body inthe State, then while the
distinctive American mode of m-ganiza-
lion in our commonwealth, will "have
passed away, as having performed -its of-
fice, the true American sentiment will still
live and burn in the hearts of -‘its people,
spontaneously wo‘rkill"g' out "all ‘needed
ends, and all desirable results. But-if in
that'Couucil, a further, sickly separate
existence is to be . attempted to be kept
up, the attempt will not only prove a dis-
astrous failure, ‘but will cover the name
of American, in its party designation,
with irretrievable disgrace. For the very
reason then of our Americanism, do we
desire to see pledges redeemed and past
organizations discarded.

And there is yet another "reason why
we wish to see this result‘ accomplished
The party which is now formed in oppo-
sition to the sham Democracy in Connec-
ticut, and the names of whose candidates
we hear at the headof our columns, comes
into being under "noble auspices and with
glorious prospects for the future. It af-
filiates with that great mass of citizens,
of every political, design"ation,.who, on
the fourth of last November uttered their
stern protest against slavery cxtellsion, in
tolles that rang from Maine to Nebraska,-
and sent,,terror to the hearts of the evil
men in the high places of the land. It
comes with a platform which appeals to
every generous emotion of the heart, ev.
ery true perception of the intellect. It
tells the Clloates, the Cushings, the Pet-
tits, the Toolnbs, the Butlers, the Wises,
and tile Buchanans that the Declaration"
of Independence is not, what they ‘say it
is, a sham and. a delusion, a glittering
generality and a self evident lie"; but
that itis truth—Gon"’s truth and man’s
trllth———a truth, which, like the fathers
who first uttered it, their sons are deter-
"mined to abide by, now alld forever. It
covenants to support the Constitution for
the great purposes for which the people
establislled it, viz : the maintenance‘ of
Union, Liberty and Law. ' And asan in-
evitable consequence of such principles of
action, it avows inflexible hostility to tho
furtller domillioll of Slavery in the free
territories of the Republic. It seeks to
maiptaiu a generous nationality of senti-
meat, to guard the purity of the ballot
box, and to promote intelligence alld_vir-
tuc by increasing the avenues to universal
cducatioll. .

These are prillciples which cannot be
shaken. They are to day nlore"important
than ever before. The election of Bu-
chanan, the impending admission of Kah-
sas as a free State, increase rather than
diminish the necessity of inflexible, ull-
waveriilg fidelity to freedom in the terri-
tories." The sham" Democracy -has de-
clared as a prillciplc, the election of Bu-
chanall has temporarily coufirlned it, the
debates in Congress since that cveut,"have
brought it illto boldcu relief, that in this
American Republic,‘.Slavery is lleuceforth
to be regarded as equal in all respects to
freedom ; just as good, just as righteous,
just as wise, just" as ;.cxpedic_n_t for both
bond alld free, as that Liberty, whose
loss, the common sentiment of the Fath-
ers, speaking through the burning lips of

Patrick Henry, has pronounced worse
than death. In the declaration of this
principle, the sham Denlocracy has de-
liberately insulted every man in this Re-
public wllois compelled, by the circumstan-
ces of his beiiigto labor, with his hands,
for it has pronounced laboritself servile,
and degraded the frcelnan to the level of
the slave. And under the illflucnce of
this principle, Slavery, if repelled. from
Kansas, will seek other territories where-
in to expand; it demands one-half the po-
litical power of the nation; proud, where
it ought to be shame-faced, insolent
where it should ‘be llnmble, threatening
where it should be deprecating, it is slow-"
ly putting ollt the life of the Republic,
wllich is the love of universal freedom, in
the hearts of its people. And against
this fell destroyer of all that is free, and,
manly, and wise, and good, the battle is
to be fought for generations yet to come.
A slave-holding Republic cannot live a
nation’s1ife-time; it will either, extirpate
the evil," or it will itself perish ,iuva_.u Ar-
istocratic oligarchy. ,
deuce in the ultimate triumph of freedom
and right. " God, His word, His‘ "provi-
dence, are all on our side ; all the noble
instincts, all the gellerous selltiments of
humanity are on 0lll' side; the spirit ‘of-
the age, the best intellect, the brightest
virtue of our own land, are on our side,
and must finally prevail. But the battle‘
may be a long one. Connecticut Olhtlle
8th of January, furnished her contingent
to the army of liberty, in whose ranks
we are willing ever to serve.

Religious.

Twenty-two Persons received the rights of
Baptism at the hands of Rev. Mr. Gowen, at
the Baptist Church on Sabbath lust. This
Church has received a very encouraging impe-
"ins under the Rev. gentlemen’: ministration.

We learn that quite a number was added to
the South Norwlllk Methodist Church,‘ the
same day. This Society is also in a very
flourishing condition. ‘

Divine Worship was held in the Congrega-
tional Church at South Norwalk on last-Sab-
bath, (the first since its re-constructi on
which occasion several additions were ade

to the Church. This Society,'nnder the min-
istration of Rev. D. R. Austen ,has enjoyed an
almost unexampled temporal and spiritual
prosperity. One year ‘ago it relieved itself
from an old and onerous Church debt ; subse-
quently it has rebuilt its. Church, enlarging
its capacity, opening a fine Lecture Room in
its basement, introducing a new Bell info the
"tower, and a fine Organ in the Choir loft, and
has not, we believe, in its communion asingle
member who does not labor day by day for his
sustenance ;yet without lrsinglo member of
even moderate wealth, its liberulity will com-
pare favorably with older and richer congre-
gallons.

Horrible Murdor in New York.

The insecurity of life is such in"N_ew York
that not only will the citizens themselves
soon be compelled to go armed, but strangers
going thither will have to carry their rifles‘
instead of umbrellas, and revolvers instead of
wallets. The latest case: of “ garroting and
stabbing” is the horrible murderof Dr. Bur-
dell, the celebrated Bond Street Dentist, in
his own office, on'Friday night." _lfurks of the
" gurrotte” were found about his neck,gand
some fifteen stabs in different" parts of his

Dedication. .

- The South Nol-walk Congregational Church
was re-dedicated on Thursday afternoon and
Evening last. The exercises are said to have
been peculiarly interesting. The Church has
just been rebuilt and fitted up in all theat-
tractiveness of modern art. The fresco paint-

and refiects much credit upon his skill in that
department. . - '

Appoint your Delegates.

The Union Convention for the nomination
of Sheriff, is inserted in to-day’s paper. called
to meet at Bridgeport on Wednesday the llth
day of February, inst. We trust our friends
in the adjoining towns will see that their pri-
mary meetings are called in season to select
such delegates as will, either in their person.
or proxies, be sure to attend. We think the
majority of the Committee who sign‘ thecull,
will find that they have outgeneruled them-
selves in changing the location from that’ so
unanimously indicated at New Haven by those
from whom they derived their powers. It"
is a system of tactics that we do not well un-
dcrstand that goes deliberately to work to in-
vite apathy and weakness, if not discord and
disruption, when the course is clear for en-
thusiastic action and a harmonious union .of
strength. We have no fear: however that any
blunders of our committee can jeopardize in‘
the least the success of our candidatewlmevcr
he may be, but we do protest against the in-
auguratiou of such precedents. v

In most of the adjoining towns, delegates to

as will be sun e to attend. 5

. 04.9-oo——-——
Death of Preston 8. Brooks.

The death of this miserable man, whom we
beheld but two weeks since in florid, robust
health, has sent a thrill of as deep and pain-
ful interest throughout the country, as if he
had fallen by thc_ assassin’: knife. We give
below the generous sentiments of the Tribune
concerning the man, and subsequently of the
semi-savage rcmarksi indulged in by Mr. Sav-
age, in pronouncing his eulogy :

’ , From Tribune of Thursday;

3 Mr. Preston S. Brooks of_ South
Carolina died at Washington at 7 o’cloek
last evening. His disease _was in the
throat, resulting ill croup ; and he. was
attacked with it only on Saturday last.
-He leaves behind him, with the "world in
general, a inost unenviable reputation, on
which we need not here enlarge.

‘ It is perhaps phoper now to say with
regard to the act which will be connected
with the memory of this person as long
as it shall live, that we do not suppose it
to have been undertaken by him spon-
taneously, and of his own nlerc motion.
We have the impression that it was de-
termined upou at a meeting of the South
Carolina delegation in Congress and that
Brooks was but the tool to execute the
will ‘of his colleagues. To that infamous
office he lent himself voluntarily, itis true,
but not till it had beell decided that some
one.of the Congressional Representatives
of that state must perform it. Brooks
came forward then, as the member from
the District in which Mr. Butler resided,
to discharge the fullction of a rufiian,
and in case of need, of an assassin. He
-has his reward ill the judgment which
men of honor and unprejudiced intelli-
gence pass upon his act,’ but it can never

‘be forgotten by the impartial llistoriall

"that he undertook it in compliance with
the nearly unanimous decision of the whole
South Carolina delegation in Congress,
and that after it was done he was saluted
by the enthusiastic applause of the people
.of that State as their "noblest champion,
whom they could not enough admire and
honor. As for Brooks himself, then,
now that he has gone to the grave, we
imagine that the world’s condemnation
will be somewhat lifted from him, bllt it
will only be to rest with a heavy "and in-
effaeeable bolt upon the escutcheou of
his State. v _
. From the Tribune Fridvy.

Since, by an affecting "dispensation of
Providence Preston S. Brooks was stretch-
ed cold in death, our readers will hear
us witness that we. have avoided any
harsh expression with respect to him,
to his character, or the act, .whose mem-
ory is henceforth inseparably connected
with his name. For _himse_lf, he had gone
to the bar of the Eternal Judge ;-for his
character, and the part he hadperformed
in the affairs of the country, -they were
things of history, and we had no desire
togadd a single word to what we had al-
ready been called to say respecting them.
Not so, however, with the unbecoming

display which attended -the obsequies in‘

the‘ hall of the Representatives yesterday.
That is a matter wllich requires ‘a pretty
plain comment. The-House had adjourn-
ed with all the ceremony and observance
exhibited on the death of the most hon-
ored and influential member. The Pres-
ident and Cabinet were ' present ; the
President elect had seen’fit to be there ;
the members of the Senate were there
also. But the place of Mr.'Sumner——still
detained at home by dangerous illness
caused by murderous and cowardly blows’
which that dead arm had inflioted-—was

vacant ; as if to remind.all spec_tators_of'

the great crime against ordinary manil-
ness, against the Constitution, against the
dignity and rights of a sovereign State,
of which the deceased had been the in-
strument. Over all the scene, too, hung
the awe which death, sudden and fearful
as the intervening hand of God, must
naturally inspire‘. ' The example of silence,
if not of forgetfulucgss, was given in the
presellcc of the personal and political
friends of the Senator whom Mr. Brooks
had so cruelly injured, and of the State
whose representative he had felouiously
stricken to the earth. And yet in spite
of all th‘ese circumstances ‘there was found
a man to call up there, over that poor
dead body, the recollection of the assault
on Mr. Sumner, and, with loud praise of
the deed, to flout not only the solem-
nity of the hour,“ but the very House
which had left "its proper business, and
granted its Hall to the performance of
the funeral. Is Mr. Savage a fool or a
madman thus to violate all propriety ?——-
Did he mean from behind the defence of a
coffin to hurl a safe insult at_ the friends
of Mr. Sumner, at- l the Republicans in
Congress, ‘at the House,‘ which had ex-
pelled‘ Brooks, -and "at the deliberate
judgment, of the whole country which jus-
tiiied that exp'ul‘sion ? _ Or was it a wretch-
ed picce" of bravado, uttered by one of
those who were privy to the crime be-
fore it was committed ; who indeed, put
its commission upon Brooks, and who feel
that its shameful responsibility still clings
to them? ‘ On these points we shall ex
press no opinion_. --Whether Mr. Savage
is _a fool, a ln.ad.ln9Ln'or ‘a braggart, is of.

‘little conse_ u_epce. .His wo.rds‘_of,ycster-

day werec "outrage "to the ‘sacred decen.
ciesof death, aud'u defiimce to the . com-
mon sense’ and the public opinion of ‘tile
world. They llavfe raised him for a mo-
ment out.of the obscurity of ‘his habitual
existence ; but they ra"ise"hilil~only to be
the mark of-universal" disgust aud_ con-‘
tempt.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6?"

"l"eft of us to keep you posted a little about
‘New York matters. But between Jack

Frost on one hand alld the garrotcrson

the other, itis not so easy a lnatter lJafe-
 to preserve one’; existence here. Of
course you have heard all about tllc gor-
rotters. .We have a bull and bear party
on the subject, one firmly maintaining
that the reports are all cock and bull
stories manufactured to facilitate legisla-
tive a,(_:tion_at,'Albally on our municipal
corruptions, while the other asserts that
ilnmcdiatc destruction is near at hand,
and that every order loving citizen must
‘carry Colt’s “annihilating machinery, and
take immediate lessons in the “manly art
of self defence.” There is just about
euougll truth in the stories to keep a
large number of _“ canards” in circulation,
and to ‘frighten almost to death thin
legged bank clerks, and corpulent swells
with big pocket books.

As for J uck Frost, he has left "us this
latter part of the week, but he has left
enough of his rubbish of dirty ice and
sllow behind him to iucommode business
operations Vel'£"'Sel'lOllSly. You can see
Broadway snow now in perfection, a com-
bination unlike anything ever produced
by art or"..uature in any other spot"on the
inhabited globe but this. This brown

powder is knee deep in_ Broadway, and
can neither be sleighed over with runners,
nor successfully wheeled over with wheels.
In port we have vessels waiting with car-
goes which canuot be unloaded, business
is paralyzed, and everybody consequently
perplexed - and ill humored. Neverthe-
less we congratulate ourselves that our
harbor is in much-better condition than
that of "either Boston or Philadelphia.-
The transportation lines will probably be
open in a day or two, South and West,
if the thaw continues, and then there is
no doubt that the great rush of trade
will begin.

We have had something of a “moneta-
ry” excitement, not on ’Change, but
among the small tradesmen and corner
grocers, about the vir.tual~abolitio"n of the
Spanish currency. It will be a loss to
small shopkeepers of about four cents on
a dollar in their receipts, as they will no
longer be able to quibble about shilllings,
quarter-cents, etc'., but will have to give
twcllty-five cents change for an American
quarter. This coin, they have always

worth twenty-four cents, except, ofcourse,
in paying it" put.

We continue to hear wars and rumors
of wars between the new lights of the
theatre and the newspaper critics. Mrs.
McMahon will very -likely sue some city
journals for libel. Madame Cora dc

.Nr:’w"Yonx, Jun. 28, 1857..

Ma. Enrroa.—We, thp citizens of New
York. are just beginning to thaw" out, af-
ter the siege througll which we have just
passed. Last evening it commenced rain-
ing and continued till a late hour. To
day the sleighing is done away with, in
a great measure. During the few days
past our citizens have hardly stirred,
business has been impeded and Gotham is
under blockade. Our citizens have hug-
ged the house strongly, and many of them
have found that home was not objection-
able during such weather. Tlle Omnibus
Lines have all resumed wheels once more,
and I; have seen but one sleigh to day,-
and that with its small quota of passen.
gcrs, formed an apt illustration of " Othel-
lo’s occupation gone. "

Our female friends have stood_ it, as

that there is no decent promenading on
Brodway, and being too proudto weepor.

and bear it.‘ We pity them but can offer
no ‘comfort. The River and Bay is filled
with Ice, and" the Gentleman who hurries
from the counting house to the ferry is
liable to wait an hour or two before his
eyes are gladdened by the sight of a ferry

the prospect .of crossing is dark and drear.
It is the tug of war. He may reach home
by midnight and may not before morning.

temper, he will now find an am le op-
portunity to test its strength. Or if he
laughs over it , he will fancy it re-echoed
back again, through the whistling wind,
appearing to his troubled spirit like the
triumphant glee of the Storm King as he
laughs over his success.

It.is getting to be rather dangerous to
walk the streets of our city at present
after darkness has-set in. No man’s_ life
is secure or his property safe. He.islike-
ly at any moment to be knocked down,
gagged, robbed of all he, has, and left
senseless on the sidewalk. If he recovers
and cries for the police, he will cry. in
vain, or perhaps catch a glance of a uni-
form and star in some warm corner of a
respectable porter-llouse. We have an
instance. A few nightsago as ll. young
man was walking. about 11 "o'clock in
Fourteenth Street near the Academy of
"Music he was snndenly seized upon by a
gang of rowdies, dragged into a cellar,
robbed, and left senseless for a long time.
On Saturday evening a young man nam-
ed‘ Clarke" was treated in the some manner
about seven o’cloek at night, numerous
other cases could be. meutiolled, and it is
a daily occurence in our city. We ask
“ Wllere are the Policc” and Echo mourn-
fully. replies “ Where are tlley._”

and takes on the airs of a mastiff, no doubt,

from the size of that Custom House bone, at

which he has been knowing the last four years,

bllt he is none other than " lime dog Jvbble”

after all, barking away at the heels of our
defunct old horse, instead of the squirrel

hole! Contemplating his Exodus from his
comfortable kennel, under the “rotation”
system he may be expected to show his teeth,
and to snap and growl pompously, and while
disposed tovhumor his conceit. and not willing
to be outdone by him in generous opinions,
we should heartily rejoice could we believe
there in anything about the Register establish-
ment half so likely as our poor old horse.

We are indebted to our quondam‘ -friehd,
Wm. T. Clark, Esq., of Davenport. Iowa, for:
liberal donation of Prairie Chi clrevls. Al-
though decidedly a foul proceeding. we have
not been the least “ chicken-hearted,” but in
_!‘ high feather” ever since, and when -our.

we see the business operations of ourfriend
at Davenport, thus spoken of in the. lending
paper of that place :

Iowx LAND Acr.Ncv.—We‘ refer our
readers to the column advertisement of
Messrs. Allen J; Clark, under the above
head. These gentlemen are now doing a
large land agency business, and have fa-

property, loaning of ‘money, "site. They
ofi‘er the highest recommendations to
those who are strangers to them,.but
they need none with those who. have
had dealings with them. .By reference
to their new advertisement, it will‘ be
seen that they have a large quantity of
improved and unimproved property for
sale, iuthis city and out of it; compri-
sing dwellings, vacant lots and farms.—-
They are prepared to make collections,
invest money, make loans, &c., and will

siness entrusted to their care. They are
entitled to public confidence, and as uch
we recommend the firm to strangers.

SPANISH Colx.—We would advise peo-
ple who have Spanish quarters that are
not defaced, not to pass them for less
than their real value for old silver, which
is twenty-five cents, or within a. fraction
of that sum. We have taken four smooth
crossed quarters, and found their value,
by weight, for old silver, to be ninety-five
cents; while four- quarters not "much
worn, weighed ninety-nine cents. ’ The
silver-platers and silver-smiths will usual-
ly pay abouttheir full value.

fl‘ There are but few people who would
not rejoice to see these pests put out of circu-
lation, yet it would be well for those too gree-
dy for the contemplated reduction. to re-
member that a shave of five cents upon the old
Spanish quarter is a Ieetle too sfifi‘, an d that,"
as yet, the Bill has not got through Congress,
although it has passed one branch of it. and
that there remain but fourteen unappropriated
days for labor, of the present session,aud it is
extremely doubtful whether said Act becomes
a law at this session or not. Sell" your coins
to the silver-smith by weight, and the dis-
«count will be trifling; "

Dr. Welch and the Corruption Cane.

Some miserable scouudrel named Sweeney,
by an act of perjury before the investigating
committee, involved Dr. Wclch in I case of
corruption, in demanding $50 for services to
be rendered in a pension case, and. then fled
the city. The Doctor promptly had issued a
warrant forhis arrest, but as yet he has not
been seized. Those who know Dr. Welch
would as soon credit ll charge of premeditated
murder, were it brought against him. ,

The Tribune correspondent gives the fol.
lowing version of the affair :-
