FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1857, CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICAN REPO• LUTIONS That part of the American Continent which lies south of our territories must be a plea sant place to live in—for a man who has a penchant for floundering in troubled wa. tors. Nicaragua expects an invasion by Mr. liftaantui's "blue-eyed man of destiny," General WALKER, and is getting up a quarrel with Costa Rica, in which Oho last advises tell us) Guatemala, San Salvador, and Hon duras are expected to participate. . Costa Rica is reported to ho on the verge of another revolution—there being a design on hand to violate the Constitution by electing Se:tier MonA President for life, which will certainly be opposed, probably with arms, by a few patriots who dislike seeing their Republic placed at the feet of an ambitious politician. At Guatemala, an insurrection had broken out last August, which was put down by the army, after some days' hard fighting. Tho cauldron is evidently seating there. In Peru revolu tionary movements had been suppressed in several places, but their renewal was expected, as a matter of course. At Bolivia, the move ment had assumed a more active form, for Dr. LINARES, as 'Provisional President, had taken the field against General CORDOVA, the elected President, who, it wan believed, would have to leave the country. In Venezuela, the hard rule of General MoNwAs was inciting the masses to revolt, and Chile has just been re lieved from a threatened rebellion, only by President MONTI having reluctantly complied with the popular demand that ho should dis miss his ministers. Mexico la probably on the eve of a war with Spain. In Short, about half the States in Central and South America are in hot water—engaged in civil war, or expecting to be. Brazil is quiet, and thriving. Venezuela, New Granada, Equador, Paraguay, Uruguay, and the Argen tine Republic, are rather kept quiet by iron rule than by national attachment to their re spective Executives. Tho elements of dis cord are abundant in these countries, in one or other of which, every now and then, some ambitious soldier aims at the Dictatorship— sometimes with tho design at changing his sword into a sceptre. The contrast between the stability and pros perity of our political condition, and that of so many nations in the same part of the world, is too marked not to be readily perceived and thankfully acknowledged. This is mainly owing to the honesty of purpose, the nega tion of self, the feelings of patriotism, and the reliance on a Higher Power than any of earth, which united to frame that admirable Consti tution, which confirmed, for the noblest,to pur poses, the Independence which our forefathers purchased by hard fighting, under difficulties aria disadvantages of the most dangerous and disheartening description. Of little worth, however, would that have been, if the Wisdom of these gallant patriots, equal to their Valor, had not made such a glorious and permanent con summation as the well-balanced and judiciously framed Constitution under which we live, which affords equal rights to all citizens, gives pro tecfiOn to all strangers, and binds the Execu tive and the People firmly together by ties which it would be treason against Liberty to sever or unloose. VAILIFOIINIA4 CONGREAAMINAL CLAIM. The San Francisco Herald has put out a fwciblii statement in favor of giving California a far greater Congressional representation than the opulent State now enjoys, and greatly con demns the neglect, by the local Executive, to appoint marshals to take the census about two years ago. The reason assigned at the time, for this failure to comply with the plain re quirements of the law, was the embarrassed condition of the finances of the State, and the inipolicy of incurring additional expense. But the Herald hints . that the real reason of the neglect to make provision for the taking cif the census, was cc that a Senatorial election was dote) at hand, and that an official report of the population of each county and district in the State would force a readjustment of the repro sentative basis which, might very seriously in terfere with political calculations." The population of California is very con siderable, with a great tendency to increase by immigration, not only Nom all parts of tho Union, but almost from all parts of the world. The temptations and inducements to settle in California are very great. Tho natural pro ductions—mineral and agricultural—are most abundant and rich, and the climate is one of the fittest in the world. Towns are springing up in that State, in various directions, attract ing Increased population, and Order is being established every where, under the Law. Thu Herald thus sums up the question, and, it must be confessed, makes out a very strong Case: ff If the census had been taken at the time prescribed in the Constitution, we would have official data upon which to base an, application for a larger representation in Congress; and it is possible that we would have no longer to com plain of the fact that California is only allowed two members of Congress, though at the last Presidential election it polled 34,847 more votes than Alabama, with its seven representa tives-39,890 more than Connecticut, with its four representatives-11,232 more than Georgia, with its eight representatives-67,313 more than Louisiana, with its four representatives -3,439 more than Maine, with its six represen tatives-23,3G8 more than Maryland, with its six representatives--51,000 more than Missis sippi, with its five representatives-3,533 more than Missouri, with its seven representatives -39,082 more than New Hampshire, with its three representatives-10,812 more than New Jersey, with its five representatives-25,089 more than North Carolina, with its eight repro. imitative% and 69,573 more than Vermont, with its three representatives. "Pursuing the subject further, we find that we are placed, in this respect, on an equality with Arkansas, lowa, Texas, and Rhode Is land, though at the last Presidential °loc i tiou, our vote exceeded that of the first ! named State 77,497—0 f the second, 20409 fife third, 60,220, and the last, no less than 90,337.* The only States of which we have a larger representation aro Florida and Del aware, and their united vote only roaches 25,695. It is evident, tkom the above stalls ' tics, that California, at the present time, is entitled to seven representatives, at least, in the Lower House of Congress ;Out though our right to such representation cannot be disputed, yet wo must wait till the comple tion of the census which will he taken at the expense of the General Government in 1860, for the recognition or concession of that right." In the fatness of time, no doubt, California will receive ample justice. Meanwhile, Unmet be confessed, her journalists very fully repre sent her interests—for, whatever their little quarrels, (which will occur " in the best regu lated families,") they arc unanimous in assert ing the claims of their opulent State to full participation in every advantage, political or commercial, enjoyed elsewhere. This is a characteristic, and a good ono, of the Califor nia press, and might be imitated, nearer home, with credit and good effect. The West whines received hero concerning the progress and promise of the camel experiment of the Government in lie military operations on the frontier, continue to confirm the highest hopes of its friends. From the day these entrants were landed on the coast of Texas to this hour, the ex periment hoe proved an eminently successful one; until the experience bad with them as beasts of burden has been such that all concerned in their management and use aro unanimously of opinion that they, suit, as boasts of burden, the require ments of our great western plains, as well as those of Asia and Africa.

For The Preen.] I have heretofore observed, that when the carpenter obtained nine dollars for ono week's labor, and under free-trade could get for that foreign cloth to make a coat, that cloth would be the product of his industry, and his wages would be just equal to that quantity of cloth; consequently, thegreater the amount of cloth which he could obtain for nine dollars, the greater would be his wages ; and as he would obtain a greater amount of cloth under free trade, therefore under free trade the 'greater would be the amount of his wages. If a tariff substantially prohibited him from buy ing that cheap foreign cloth, and compelled him to buy in the home market, he would ne cessarily lose, because he would have to pay the difference bewteen the two articles. But I go further, and I will now show that this tariff will not only lessen the wages of the American carpenter, but it will totally de prive another American workman of employ ment. Now, to make this quite plain, I must go back and restate the case I have already put. Thus, suppose the carpenter to have eighteen dollars for his two weeks' work, and supposo that under tree trado the cloth for his coat would cost him nine dollars, ho would have nine dollars left, and with that he could buy hats for himself and children—thus ob taining for his two weeks' labor a coat for Mtn self and hats for himself and children, and giving employment to an American hatter. That is the account to the credit of free trade. Now, let the tariff of one hundred per cent. be put on the cloth, ho will then have to give to the American manufacturer of it twice as much, or eighteen dollars; but that leaves him without means to buy a hat for himself or children, and consequently ho cannot employ the American hatter, thus obtaining for his two weeks' work a coat,and giving employment to the American cloth-maker, but losing the hat for himself and children, and depriving the hatter of employment. That Is the ac count to the credit of a tariff. Which of the two is tho best for him? But I shall be answered thus Is it not bet ter that the carpenter should pay more for his goods, and thus employ an American cloth-maker, who would otherwise he idle, than that ho should buy imported cloth and so not employ the American cloth-maker I have several answers to this. First, then, when you say better, for whom do you moan it is better ? Surely not for the carpenter who is thus compelled to pay more, for we have just seen that the more he has to pay the less ho gets for his labor, and consequently it is the worse for him, his family, and all who de pend on him. Second, it is not better for the hatter, or other American workmen whom ho cannot any longer employ, because that the wages which he would have spent with them he must now appropriate to buy the higher priced American cloth. So, in that as pect, also, it is worse and not better. But I have another answer to it, and it is this : Suppose that when the carpenter has the eighteen dollars for his two weeks' labor, and the American cloth-maker is selling him a coat for that sum, that a stranger (a Yankee, or a foreigner, if you choose,) stops up to the car penter, saying, "My friend, I have just in vented a machine which, without perceptible cost, will make as much cloth for nine dollars (the free-trade price) as that American cloth maker can make and sell to you for eighteen dollars." Now, my question to the advocates of a tariff is, would you destroy that machine, or prohibit the owner of it from making cloth at that price I If you would, and right/y, than I give up free trade, and admit that it, as well as the labor-saving machine, should be pro hibited. The two must stand or fall together. But if you would not, then observe Its effect: cloth will be sold at nine dollars, the ruinous free-trade price; against such competition the American maker of it cannot carry on his business ; his factories must stop and his work men be discharged ; nor can they be employed by others at the like business, because this machine will dispense with their labor; and so they, and those who depend on them, must be unemployed. No doubt that is painful to those- -who cxperbautto It, but that have no mote reason to complain of free trade than of the new machine. And hero may be noted and observed the difference between the free trade which precedes, and that which follows, a tariff. The free trade which precedes a tariff, or which permits the importation of articles which do not exclude those made un der a tariff, will not injure any existing inter est, for the sumo reason that a now machine, which makes articles not then made under an in ferior ono, cannot injure workmen, or any then existing interest. Not so, however, with anew invention which does make cheaper artieles,and which thus competes with and may,in effect, to tally drive the old one out of the market, and also deprive those who worked it ef all employ ment. Such a new machine is for the time, and as to the workmen thus deprived of em ployment, and as to the capital in the old ma chine thus sunk, the cause of actual loss and suffering. Witness the thousands of copyists whom the art of printing deprived of employ ment; witness, too, the thousands who, like the poor stocking-weavers of Nottingham, have been deprived of work by a machine which did their work without them, and for almost nothing. lu what, indeed, does the utility of labor-saving machines consist but in the fact, as its name imports, that it dis penses)vith the labor of men, or, in other words, deprives them of labor, while, at the same time, increasing the amount of the products of labor? Yet that is exactly what is done by free trade. It, like the new machine, may deprive some workmen of their employment, but, at the same time, liko the machine, it increases the amount of the products of labor; and as the wages of the workmen, in every community, depend on the relative amount of the products of labor, the wages of such a community al ways increase with the increase of labor-sav ing machinery, so also must they always in crease by free trade, through which those pro ducts become greater than under the prohibi tion of a tariff. MR. EVERETT'S LATE ORATION. Por Mann.] PIIILADEDPIIIA, Oct. 28, 1857. On reading your splendid notice of the truly great oration recently delivered at Sulfide, by Edward Everett, I discover that the fact of his having confounded the younger with the elder Cyrus has escaped your notice. He speaks of The Cyrus who entertained Lysander at Sardis, as the "half-mythical Persian sovereign," and clothes him with the ,4 royal purple." This is a violation of history, which le unpardonable in a gentleman of such emi nent abilities as Mr. Everett. The younger Cyrus never was a sovereign, nor was he at any time clothed in the 44 royal purple." Ho Probably Would have been, had ho been suc cessful In his efforts to overthrow the power of his brother Artaxerxes, who was the reign ing sortreign of the whole Persian empire. The younger Cyrus, after his attempt to assas sinate his brother Artaxerxes, was condemned to death, but when about to be executed his mother clung to hint with endearing embraces, and besought her kingly son Artaxerxes to spare the life of his brother, pledging herself for his future good behavior. Ills life was spares, and he was sent to the maritime pro- ' vinees of the empire as their governor. It was here that he matured his design to over throw the sovereignty of Artaxerxes, under the plea that ho was about to make war upon Tissaphernes, another Satrap of the empire. It was here that he entertained Lysander, and subsequently engaged Clear chus, with his fourteen thousand Greek mer cenaries, to assist hint in the overthrow of Ar taxerxes. This rebellion failed in consequence of the death of Cyrus in battle, who is said to have fallen by the hand of his brother, whom he sought to dethrone. The celebrated re treat of the "ten thousand" grew out of that defeat, and immortalised Xenophon. The oration of Mr. Everett, therefore, Is not 44 as complete as one of those ancient statues °ride tures which =deft art toilain vain to imitate." Those statues and pictures were true to nature ; but the oration, in the particular mentioned, lacks the truth of history. So ripe a scholar as Mr. Everett, who prepares his orations with much care, should bo more careful of his his. torical facts, because such men aro very apt to be taken as the very best authority for the statements which they make, and often mis lead the mind of the student. . - - I have read your paper with great pleasure and not a little literary profit, since its corn. inenceinent, and do not hesitate to say that it is the bestjournal,both in matter and arrange ment, that ham ever been printed in Philadel phia. Very respectfully, yours, E. G. W. A painful case 01 destitution and of degra dation was disclosed at an inquest hold in Alleghe ny City, Pa., on Tuesday afternoon, on the body of a man named John Simpson. It appears from the testimony of Redden Gilbert, of Mary Shop son, wife of deceased, and of Nancy Gilbert, that Simpson and his wife had Just arrived hero from Philadelphia, from which latter city ho had walked all the way to Pittsburgh, with the exception of about forty miles; that Simpson and his wife wore both drunk, and that Gilbert took them into his house oat of charity - that Simpson laid upon the floor or upon a sort of bed on the floor during the night, and on Tuesday morning was lying there dead. Tho verdict of the Jury was in accordance with the facts.

BANKS AND BANKINO.7No. 3 For The Pe , Ve.) Tho entire syetetnless system of banking, as it is now praetised in the United States, should be care fully and thoroughly revised and amended. Its edifice, if round, as it probably would be found un oboe examination, very defeats° in its plan and its constrthltion, should be east down to its founda tion stone, and a new and' a bettor edifice should be erected un a better plan than the present one, and on morn firm and more suitable ground than the present building occupies. Although it is not generally prudent to connect money corporations, or any norparations, with the groat corporation of a State Government. it deserves serious and !nature consideration whether it would not be advantageous to the State of Pennsylvania,;to thff Federal Union, and to the, banks nolf established or hereafter to be instituted within them, if these hanks wore so constituted as to have a oonneetion with our State Ilovernments, so far as to derive from them a gua rantee for their solvency, on their depositing in the State tretewries sufficient security. They might acquire from their connection with the State verumentc, if that cennection Were properly formed and well guarded against 'finger, the important' additional se/3114W which such institutions may re ceive from the support contributed to theta by the power and the wealth of those Governnionts. They might be meterially nide(' by the accumulated confi dence thatweidd, be repeats)/ Whom .by the people, in consequenceof this governmental support. The people world ho "induced ;to watch and to guard more earefelly the banks in which they would pos sess a share of property. It would be their inte rest to eustsin them, to presorve them from all cor ruption, amp to compel them to fulfil their duties by adhering steadily to the purposes for which they wore established, • The constant vigilance of stockholders over banks is indispensable to the proper administration of their banking ntfairs. If tboy neglect careful and constant supervision of them, they must ex poot to suffer the coniequenceS which ainiost in variably result from entrusting to a tow men the entire control of the interests of many men, who are negligent, of them, and who permit their agents to conduct them as they please. All the stockholders should, if possible, attend personally at the next' nilleting, and at all subsequent meet ings called for the election of directors, and vote personally, and not by proxy. If unable to attend at these elections themselves, they should give proxies only to those on whose integrity and boner they can confidently rely, and who would strictly obey their instruction in casting their votes. Usury laws are believed to have important influence on the pecuniary condition of the gene ral community. It might promote the interests of that community to rescind thorn entirely or to modify them se as to prevent the grasping, mer cenary money-dealer from preying ut pleasure on his willing or his involuntary victims. Tho difft oulty of mooting usury laws, which is Muffled or increased by the facility with which they may bo eluded or violated by the ingenious money-glut tons and by the temptation of gain, which an in fringement of them presents to him, renders it a question worthy of mature consideration, whether it would not bo advisable to repeal those laws, anti to allow on loan., of teensy, secured by mortgages and other equivalent moans, an interest of Boron por cent, - This rate of interest, being equal to that allowed in the neighboring State of New York, might have the effect of restricting within the limits of Penn sylvania. whatever loans of money might be made by the people of that State. It might be beneficial to all the States to equalize the rates of interest in all of them, and to encourage the making of loans by increasing to a proper extent thereto of Interest allowed on them. Whatever can have a tendency to open the reservoirs of the possessors of real money, and to diffuse it, in nhniornus and fertiliz ing streams, throughout the entire country, would be productive of advantage to all classes of the peo ple. On all loans of money not scoured by bond and mortgage it would probably be judicious to al low whatever rate of interest might bo agreed on by lenders and borrowers, providing, by legal enactments, for the strict observance of the eon tracts mato between them. In the !resent critic, when so many of the people are expecting from their State Legislatures the adoption of measures which may diminish or re move the general pecuniary embarrassments, It in the Oft 9 i t. he 4kuty; and the Internet of the people to dtv • their common welfare tbe nintio of re' lief *r b tiny be most prompt end effee Ina • - They, eh did, with as little delay as possible, meet in primary assemblies, and elect delegates to a na tional convention, equal in number to that of Con gressional representatives, who should convene at some central place before the next meeting of Con• gross, and of the State Legislatures. These dele gates should be men of sound judgment and discre tion, of great experience in finanoial affairs, and of pure and stern integrity. None of them should be mere traders or projectors in party politics. They should be practical in financial science, liberal and ,yet prudent In their expressions and their views. Tho proposed convention should deliberate care fully mid maturely on the present state of the financial and business community, devise such measures for the general welfare an it may deem west salutary, and recommend thorn for the Oen of the respeetive State Legislatures at thew next scallions. Thu convention might, with pro priety and advantage, appeal to the next Congress for aid to the general fitiatioial cause, and ask that body to interpose its authority, by the enactment of such laws for the regulation of the currency as may be consistent with its constitutional power, and required by the present pecuniary condition of the country. It should be one of the prinoipal objects of the convention to establish, permanent ly, a uniform value on the notes of all the banks of the United States, so as to render them a steady and a safe currency in all of those States. While so many banks as now exist throughout the 'Fede ral Unbn aro permitted to emit almost unlimited numben of paper promises, without having abili ty to rtdeom them, and while, as a necessary con soquenee. those promises have only a local and a limited circulation and value, there can be no suf ficient seectrityfor the proper and prosperous prose cution of business throughout the entire Republic. The inconveniences and losses, which result from se various and variable a currency us Wool State bank notes supply, moat increase. Those banks should not be permitted to disorder the general system of business by the constant increase of pa per mcney,reoeived at different values in different parts of the country, and exposed to continual fluctuations in its own value, and causing ince- sant variations in the general standard of the value of money, and of all ether descriptions of pro perty, TILE STATE ELECTIONS.

FROM EABTON. Correspondence of The Press 1 EASTON, Pa., Nov. '2, 1867. itht. EDITOR : I have determined to write you a short notice of an occurrence which took place here yesterday, which I hope will be acceptable. The usual quietness of our town, occasioned by the hard times and attending dullness of business, was agreeably broken in upon last evening, by the illumination and precession of the students of La Payette College. Great events in all nations have been marked by great demonstrations, and small ones in proportion. Whether this time-honored prin ciple seized the students or not, we are unable to say; at any rate, amid the general dullness, they presented us a magnificent spectacle in the Illumination of the College. The occasion of this demonstration was the accession of G. Wilson McPhail, D. D., pastor of the Brainerd Church, in this place, to the presidential chair, lately made vacant by the resignation of Rev. Dr. McLean. MePhall comes to the chair by the unan imous call of the board of trustees; and equal ly approved by the synod of Philadelphia, under whose immediate coat of the .college, is now placed: Certainly the Comliiiied`whidom of those two &kilos uniting, without oppoti liont77 on a single individual, argues well for his ttdatation to that high position. A, precisely quarter past seven the bellwhich had ,be en ringing for three-quarters of an hour, ceased ; In less than a minute the light from a thousand candles blazed (mu tho fifty windows fronting the town, presenting tho most splendid sight we have' ever witnessed. Though the pale moon throw her , beams plontedusly upon the scone, the brightness of the lights was ren dered scarcely less imposing. In a short time banners were seen issuing from the college, bearing such mottoes as told what was the object of the institution and of the present display. The old Latin, scarce seen or heard now, except in these institutions, was emblazoned on every banner. The pro- Cession formed in front of the college in the order of classes, and marched along the wind ing hill until it descended to the Bushkin bridge, at the foot of Mons Sclential, where it was met by cc Poraps Cornet Band," without which all such occasions seem dull. As the procession marched up Third street the excitement scorned intense; the streets wore crowded with mon and women, besides a more than usual number of awaiting boys. The order of march was through most of the principal streets, until the procession brought up at the residence of the President, whore the students formed into a solid body, and gave three hearty cheers' for their newly elected of Whe soon appeared at the door, when Mr. 0. S. Dean, of the Senior Giese, was tolled upon to address the President in behalf of the students. This, considering the inex perience and embarrassing position of the speaker, was done in an able and eloquent manner. He referred briefly to the late elec tion; to the two previous occasions on which the college was illuminated (the battle of Buena Vista, and the completion of the Endow ment Fund); to the universal good feeling which existed in the college and community towards Dr. McPhail, and the pride of each student in being permitted to study under his direction. Dr. McPhail then spoke in his calm and pleasant manner. He referred, with apparent interest, to his former connection with the col lege ; to her former trials and present bright prospects; and, also, to the friendships of col lege-life, and their lasting impressions. When the President ceased to speak, throe cheers again arose from the students. After another tune discoursed by the band, the pro cession again formed and marched away. Would that it had ended hero! All would have passed oft' pleasantly to all concerned. But as the procession marched up ,Spring Clanton street, stones or brickbats wore thrown at the hind banners by persons in the crowd. This was continued as they paraded through the principal streets until they reached the foot of the college stops, on their way home, by which time one banner was about destroyed, and, anotioir...badlY lefaceti• . kna n to, however, to their own praise,ltept their. ranits,; and Carried the banners through. To resist, on their part, was difficult, as there was a great crowd in the streets, and many small boys. As far as we can hoar, they gave no provocation. You may ask, Whore were the police 1" I have since heard that there were several of them in a lager beer saloon; and when asked why they wore not out keeping the peace, replied that it would not bo disturbed, or would keep itself. To the honor of our citi zens, I have heard that those whose duty it was to prevent such shameful doings have been compelled to ferret out the offenders, or lose their office. Several of the students were seriously injured. S. M. Decisions by the Secretary of the Treasury. TItEASURY DEPAILTEENT,OOL 27,1857. The following decisions of this Department as to the proper classification, under the tariff act of March 3, 1857, of certain articles of foreign manu facture entered, respectively, at the ports of New York and Boston, the Importers having, under the provisions of the sth section of that not, appealed from the decisions o f the collectors of the customs as to such classification, ore published for the in• formation of the oliicors of the customs and others concerned. Howm,r, Conn, Secretary of the Treasury. Japanned Leather. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Oct. 26, 1857. Sin : I acknowledge the receipt of your report of the 3d instant, in regard to the appeal of John A.

While I was in Nicaragua lea winter, I -wrote you an aecoent of the arrest of Chris.

But many months having transpired with out his having turned up, ensposion ef• four i play• began to bo entertained, and an inquiry was ttsti7 hued, resulting in proof that he and his compan ion were most brutally murdered by the cowman sidiraf the Owatentatima dent. . Ajtaaa obtained...the following efilinal evidence of the murder - Cossirtsk Ansley or PRANCE, LA. tilitoS, Sept. 1 1957. Personally appeared before me at my office Jose Maria Herrera, who, being sworn, deposed that he is a native of Acapulco, Mexico, and that Ste age la 25 years ; that he had been employed on board the Oueteroallan war brig Santiago, from the 19th of January up to the 19th June of the present year, as a mariner of the second clams ; that on the 10th day of Yobruari he saw the American citissue Chris. Lilly and Yates abet in the hold of the aforesaid ship by order of the econ [ mender of the squadron, Wm. Knot°, and that immedi ately after the vessel set sail to take in water. JOSE MARIA Witnesses : Vincent Latham, Wm. DrOwn. tho undersigned, Consular Agent offrance, certify' hat the foregoing signatures are genuine. Chris. Lilly was well known in New 'kora, Ne 1r Orleans, and particularly in California, among the "fanny." He settled in San Francisco with his wife inlBs2,lgaining his living by gambling, horse- Teeing. and "sporting" generally. After a while he rented or bought a plate on the San Jose road. few miles out of San Francisco, called "The A b hey." Here he kept a few cattle, raised sense gar den stuff for market, entertained travellers and his brother sportsmen, gambled, and occasionally did a little ballot box stuffing, when it would pay well. He was a rather quiet man, not often getting into rows; but last year, on the establishineat of the San Francisco Vigilance Committee, ho became obnox ious to that body, principally on amount of his con nection with the San Mateo election frauds, and in consequence received an order from "33 Secre tary" to quit the country. Chris. took passage, with his wife, to Nicaragua, and went immedi ately to Granada, where Walker was then station ed. Here ha established a mina- bank, where he won about all the ready money of Walker's offi ears, besides some $50.000 in soldiers' land warrants, This field having been fully explored, be purchased a small vessel, with the intention of trading on the coast. Ile loaded his little craft with coffee in Costa Rica for San Juan del Star, hoping to make a good speculation out of Walker, who much needed the article. Walker, however, had got so re duced in funds that ho could pay hot little cash, and Chris. only sold him about half his load, for which ho got some money, some cocoa, and the balance in premium. lie then sot sail for Manzanillo in Mexico, to dispose of his cocoa and the balance of his coffee, but the strong north winds disabled his vessel, and ho was obliged to put into Roalejo. Knoto happened to be at Real * with his squadron, and advised Lilly to take his vessel to La Union for repairs, offering to tow him up to port, which offer Lilly, being afraid of arrest as a fillibuster at Realejo, accepted. On his arrival at La Union, Knoto took Lilly on board, and put him in irons. Ho was seen in this con dition on board the SE lag° by an American gen tleman, who interceded with Knott for his release. Knoto replied that ho would be glad to accede to his request, but he had orders from hie Govern ment, to send him to the capital. A couple of months subsequently, Knot° informed the same gentleman that he had released Lilly, This proved to bo false. By order of the Guatemalian commander, Lilly and Yates were taken down into the holdwhile in irons, where a volleyfrom five marines, commanded by a sergeant, was fired into them. Lilly fell dead at the first fire, but Yates, who was a very powerful man, was not immediately killed. In his agony ho dashed his manacles at the head of his dead companion, and scattered 1111 brains about the hold. Yates was finally des patched, and the vessel raised anchor and went out to sea, to sink the bodies. Knoto sold the coffee for his own benefit, and likewise robbed Lilly of the $1,500 in cash ho had with him. These murders were a long time kept secret, but are not now disputed by anyone No doubt Knoll, committed these murders for tho sake of the spoils, as Lilly had no trial, and the Government, it is believed, were not even informed of tho execu tion. Lilly's wife is in New York. Yates was from :Massachusetts. I have heard that his name was David—but this is not known positively. Knots calla himself an American. I understand he is a sou of a former United States consul at Aga. The Peruvian commie,ien to examine the ilriti4b, French, and American guano accounts of the Go vernment ngonts, go forward in this steamer. In May, 1855, Mr. K.

Election Riots in Baltimore [Fmni the Baltimore flue of Thursday morning.] About half-past 111 o'clock, yesterday, a bloody ullair transpired at the Del(alb House, the place of holding the polls of the Seventeenth ward,which resulted in the s tabbing of two men—one seriously— and the shooting of their assailant by some friends ef the former. It seems that a man, named Patrick Kelley, a native of Washington city, on passing the polls, was accosted by Parker White, a ticket holder, who offered bins a ticket, which Kelley re fused to take. Some blows wore struck, and Kel ley drew a sword-eano and plunged the blade into the right side of White, and also wounded his brother, John White, in the arm Almost imme diately Kelley was fired upon by some parties standing near, ono shot penetrating the jaw and ranging upward into the head, and another en tering the back of his head to the brain. Both the wounded parties fell to the pavement after receiv ing their wounds, and were carried off White was taken into the DeKaib House and a physician summoned, and Kelley was removed to the southern police station, where Dr Benson at tended him. At two o'clock Ito was removed to the Lombard street infirmary. Last evening be was rapidly approaching delirium, and the physi cians there thought ho could not survive over the night. White, who is a son of the well-known en gineer of the steamer General McDonald, was sub sequently removed to his home on Henrietta street. Great excitement and much indignation followed thle occurrence, and It was afterwards difficult for a Democrat or naturalized foreigners to approach the polls.

The judge said that it was a mere ia:no of fact. The cause of prosecution arose from one of those pestilent dens, where, in addition to the sale of poisons to destroy, there was a system of gam bling to rob The quarrel between the parties seems to have been as to who of the rivals was "good," and as to the degree of merit, in this re gard, in the parties. To do good is. it seems, in this barbarous code of morals, Lobe evil— , • evil, be thou my good" is their accepted motto: and the greatest ruffian, the stalwart and recklem Gladiator, whose loftiest ambition is shared with the wolf, and who aspires to eminence only in acts of violence and wrong, is the best man Who was the "best man ?" was the issue in this tavern brawl ; the best man there may pro bably be the worst man in the court of justice. If all concerned could be 'objected to legal re buke, justice would have no lamentation' to make over them. The whole scene is disgraceful. A son knocking down a father—the father prosecu ting his eon—a friend as,aibing his ft-lend—and all engaged in a contest, the only acknowledged object of which was to ascertain who was the "best," or the most brutal ruffian In law, the party why first committed the violence is responsible.
