V, Comparisons.
! 'We said, yesterday, that some comparisons
were odious. The ono wo drew between some
of tlid predent office-holders of the General
Government in this city, and their predeces
sors, hassuggested another.
Of all tho, offleors appointed by General
Pierce and his Administration in this city, but
OjfEjwas removed during the whole four years,
ana that one, Mr. Cetti, was displaced for an
official and not for a political cause.
Of tho prlnpjpal persons appointed by Mr.
Buchanan andihis Administration, though loss
than three-fourths of their term has ex
pired, the President has behoved not less than
six! —and it.is now currently believed that
several others are to follow.
Of all the hundreds of appointments mado
by the principal officers of the lato Genoral
Administration in this city—viz: Collector
BrqVn,Naval OffIcerELDRED, Surveyor Hale,
Postmaster Miller, Director of tho Mint
Snowden —and others, not over a dozen, per
haps not half that number, were removed by
them tor any reason whatevor, and not one for
a political cause. The Bame class of officers
under tho present Administration havo-re
moved,' of their own appointment, for 'politi
cal causes, dozens and scores, if not humjiredsj.
and the axo.is still falling upon tho offenders’,
necks, with siich unexpected frequency.as to
make them feel no more secure of thoir hoads
than the citizens of, Paris during tho bloodiest
reign of the French revolution.

Adulterated Liquors.
-Wo alluded several days ago to tho recent
caso in Lancaster county, in which a liquor
merchant lost a suit to recover tho prico of a
barrel of “ Pure rye whiskey,” because tho
defendant showed that it was an adulterated
article. Since then, wq learn that the practice
of testing liquor in Lancaster county, by va
rious processes, has been frequently resorted
to, and some very “ superior nrticlos ” havo
beon found to contain poisonous drugs. Wo
meet with cases of deaths from adulterated
liquors almost every day in our exchanges, and
it is, quite evident that hundreds of people arc
poisoned every yoar by their use.
A committee of investigation appointed
by tho Massachusetts Legislature Is now in
quiring into tho manner in which the Statu
Agent appointed under tho Maine Law of that
State to, vend liquors has discharged his duty.
He has resigned his office in consequence of
the developments already made. He appears
to have carried on the business of mixing liquors
on a somewhat extensive scale. In ono caso
200 gallons of pure Rochello brandy were
mixed with 205 gallons of pure spirits, and
•< coloringmatter” added to preserve tho ap
pearance of brandy. In another transaction
one.hundred and forty-two gallons of brandy
wore mixed with alcohol. In another caso
Now England rum, whiskey, and Jamaica ruin
were mixed together. One of tho witnesses
stated that pure spirit, tartario acid, and burnt
sugar were the chief ingredients used in adul
terating or « reducing” brandy.
The United States Consul at Leghorn,
Tho Morning Post, which is Lord Palheu
stOh’s particular organ, being chiefly his own
property, lias the following article rolativo to
the.Ameri.can consul at Leghorn, to which it
ostentatiously gives tho heading, “ A Yankee
Consol aiding. Despotism.” It bears evident
marks of exaggeration, hut we think it of suf
ficient interest to publish it i
- Florence, Oct. 11.—The provisional Oovera
. , jnent of/J.'nsoany htl, if I am rightly Informed,
found it necessary to withdraw the exequatur,o ’
the United; States consul at Leghorn, Mr. Joseph
Binds,:in consequence,of,the part.which he has
been playing In the reactionary fame of MM. Po.
. hlatowakyand Relict. It may seem, rather sur
prising that the contnl of the United States should
■may, himself as a partisan of the dethroned
princes .of Lorraine; bat.the, oirenmstanee is ex
plained by. tho peculiar antecedents of Mr, Joseph
lUndA. Ho held seme appointment in the king
. doth of Etruria, I believe, at the ooort of Ellie
Bacioechi, and has ever aioee been regarded as one
of those partisans of the Bonapartist dynasty, who
. kept hoping-against hops tor the resurrection
- of aNapoloonio oinpiro. His marriage with an
American lady, belopging to ono Of the great histo
ne families who wore active in the War of Indo
, pendenoo, enabled him to obtain, through this do
mcatlo connection, the post of United Stales consul
at Leghorn, the duties of wbioh he has discharged
during many years. Ho appears, howevor, to have
combined with his consular, fuaotionß others very
alosely, though not; publicly, connected with the
. furtherance of Fronob policy in tho Poninsula,
and more especially with the xoalous advo
cacy of whatever views might be at any moment
mast In favbr with the present Foreign Minister of
France, .Forsome months before the celebrated
declaration on Now. Year’s Dsy to M. Hnbner, Mr.
Joseph Einda’s deep interest in the cause of Italian
independence, led him to repair to England, where
bißMisona! relations with several distinguished
. English statesmen .would, it was believed, enable
him to transmit to Connt Walocrki reliable Infor
mation on the course whioh thoyo individuals would
be likely to take'in a conflict botween Franco and
Austrik. After a sojourn of About a year, Mr.
Blnda returned to Leghorn deeply grieved at the
amount of sympathy pervading English society for
the ca use ot Austria. He appears, however, to
have brought back the virus or his own system; for,
immediately after the peace of Villafranoa, he
became the most violent partisan of a restora
tion a tout prir, and employed all *tke In
fluence derived from bis age,his soeisl relations,
his . unquestioned ability, and his consular
office, to forward tho plans of Prince Ponlatow
sky and M. Hoizet. Ferdinand IV at length carried
him to far that, after a dinner given by Prince Jo
seph Poniatowsky, at Mouto Ilotondo, he drew up
a protest directed against the tyranny of the pre
sent Tuscan' Government. This protest was pri
vately circulated amongst the persons supposed to
be most devotod to the house of Hapsburg-Lor
mine, hut came to an nntlmely end through tho ap
prehensions of a person holding an important offiotp
who, after having attached his name to the docu
ment, took fright, got the protest again into his
possession, sinoo which time it baa not been heard
of, Mr. Binda is directly taxed with having eons
. soiled certain notorious adherents of tho Republi
can party .to, proclaim a republican form of go
vernment; and as thin advice was given contempo
raneously with his efforts in behalf of u restored
dynasty, little doubt oau bo entertained that tho
ndvloe war only given with a view to afford a pre
text for an armed intervention in thuevont of its
being followed. Such are tho reasons assigned for
tbestrong measures taken by the Tuscan ministry
respecting the United States consnl.
IVe do not rind any account of tho dismissal
of Mr. Binda in tho foreign correspondence of
tho London Times, though it is bcliovod that
there is a degree, of truth in tho report of his
having had somo difficulty with the authorities
ofTuacany. <
Deatli of a Well-known Citizen.
We learn with regret that Dr. Jacob Frink de
parted this,life* after a short illness, at his resi
dence, Germantown) Pennsylvania, on tho evenin
of the 31st ult,, at the advanced ago of seventy
seven years. Dr. Erick was a native of Lancaster
county, hut came to this city at an early age. He
was a graduate of tho. University of, Pennsylvania.
During many-years of his iifo, ho took an active
part in politics, always co-operating with the Demo
cratic party, in oohneotion with which he is hono
rably remembered by many of our older citizens in
all parts of the, State. -He was, in turn, during a
long and eventful life, a.soldier, an editor, and a
merchant, and filled various posts of honor and use
fulness with credit to himself and satisfaction to the
public. In August, 1810, associated with Peter Hay,
Esq., he established in this city the American Sen-
Uriel , whiph, in his bands, subsequently became the
loading and most influential Democratic journal in
Pennsylvania.,, He was one of the Commissioners
of the old District of Spring Garden; was a Guar

THE PRESS—PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1859.
Washington’*. Hornet
Wo append a communication lVom>tho Bos-
ton-Evening Trdnscript, suggested, as it I
seoms, by an interesting letter’ wo recently
published, from tho pen ot an intelligent Wash-1
ington correspondent, who had made a flying
trip to Mount Vernon, and sent us his impres
sions, which we gavo placo to in The Press. '
Wo are not a little gratified, in viow.ofwhat
the Ladies’ Association has so successfully
accomplished, in already quite reaching tho
sum of $200,000 for tho purchaso of Mount
Vernon, that tho propriety, or even necessity,
of immediate and prompt, continued action to
got up au equivalent sum for its restoration
and maintenance, Is apparent to all right
thinking people, and that our Massachusetts
Mends are also alive to its importance and ne
cessity.
Tho entire press of tho country, no doubt,
will continue to lend its potent power to tho
great object. Wasdinoton is surely not to bo
forgotten by tho ladies. First in war, first in
poacc, and first in tho hearts of his coontbv
wohen:
“ Mount Vernon, — To the Editor of the Tran
script : A lector ia Ihe Philadelphia Press, ef Oot,
11th, will bo read by all who aro interested, (and
who of us is not 1) in tho present condition of Mount
Vernon. To fiuoh as have personally visited tho
place, and beholding, have mourued over tho
‘ abomination of desolation’ there, no suob descrip
tion is needed; but there are very many others
who sdppose that the purchase-money for Mount
Vornon is all tho money that it is necessary to
raiso; and that, onco bought and in the bands of
the Association, tho estate will somehow bo kept
and cared for— porhaps by Congress, possibly by
private donation, undoubtedly by bequests.
“Now, without roourringto tho old provorbs,
that ‘what is everybody’s business is nobody’s,’
and that it is 4 ill waiting for dead men’s shoes,’
whioh dispose of tho first and last suggestion®, wo
may safely say that Iho ladies aro entirely open to
the force of tho second; that they court it; and
ore willing to bo overpowered by so convincing an
argument.
“ Mount Vornon. once in tho handsof the ladies of
the Association, will undoubtedly be kopt. Kept,
and never parted with, evon if not another dollar
Oftn be raised in this country, to put It in order,
and restoro it to Us early condition. Still, it is
oioar that suob a restoration ‘should bo at onoo at
tempted, and carried on as rapidly and as far as
funds will warrant.
| “ Tho public heart may havo responded warmly
to appeals for Mount Vernon. Tho public purse,
however, has certainly responded very foobly. An
uncertainty regarding tho whole soheme and man
agement, confided as it was to women generally,
whose obaraotors and position were their only
bonds for fidelity, or guarantees for suoooea, brood -
od like a black raven over every effort, and croak
ed with every dime that fell into the patient hands
of the ladies. When it is considered that we aro
a work-a-day population, that our earnings are
difficult, and our calls for expenditure legion, it is
saying much for tho patriotism of tho country that
it was willing to shape itself in this cloud-fashion
at all. It was also a compliment to female ohawo*
tor, on tho whole, most flattering. That tho Ite
gent bad great good senso and tin&noial ability, is
clear—or else sho has tho equal discretion toohooso
Cd advisers. At all events, the.pnrchasc-mouey
been collected for Mount Vernon; and if the
last payment it not made by Miss Cunningham to
Mr. John A. Washington, It ia because that lady ia
unwilling to tako on horsolf t)iQ responsibility and
expenditure of possession, without the requisite
funds to begin necessary repairs—soino alight al
terations only having been attended to during the
past eoason, with the permission of tbo present in
cumbent,
“What is lightly won goeslighlly, it is said—but
the purchase-money of Mount Vernon is associated
with personal sacrifices, on tho part of those women
who hove acted as collectors, so groat A 3 to insuro
its prudent use and careful keeping, it has bgeji
gathered in Massachusetts from tho hard-handed In.
borer and tho school-child—from the old woman
‘who remembered and from the
young girl who aacrifioed her vanity on tho altar of
reeling.' Occasionally, and In response to personal
appeals which conld sot gracefully be set aside* the
guts of the wealthy oheored tho din) proapoot; but,
In general, the purohaso-money may bo said to be
the gift of the poorer dawes—certainly of persons
of limited means, and with heavy domandson their
purses
“With physical suffering and destitution calling
dftily on their sympathies, it cannot bo oxpooted
that appeals for alt objects purely patriotic will
fall otherwise than coldly on tbe our. Tho por
tion, possibly the tithe, which they have sot aside
for charitable purposes, they do not chooso to en
croach en for other uses. And after receiving tho
mites of such persons, it Is ns'unsidtftblo, as U is
ageless, to ask them for more, even for the purpose
of preserving their own gift. There is also a cer
tain diffidence, or it might bo called a sense of pro
priety, wtatah piakes it difficult to ask funds for an
object, the worth of which would seem to bo equal
ly clear to all. Yet we must, ajid ought to count
1 on the genorous impulses of the neb, In cares liko
this, From those to whom much Is given, it is re
quired that tbeir gifts bo cast freely into the trea
sure ofpatriotlsm, taste, and gratitude. The grave
of Washington is bojighp, Jlis houao and home Is
the property- of tho America#! patjpn. That na
tion delights to honor tho name of Washington, to

It is surprising upon what slight oauses most of
the duels between public mon oro fought. From
the day frhoo Dorr hilled Hamilton down to that
when Terry killed Broderipfcf thqre is hardly one
of these footings that has resulted totally that
might uot» have been amioably f settlod. Pubtio
opinion is at fault in this, for bowVwr tho pulpit
and tho press may thunder against the practise, it
roqutres a man of peculiar reputation and peculiar
faculties to refuse a challenge. Eyou those who
rail against it, whon thrown into n position with
the alternative of ncoepting or declining a hostile |
message, aro in most oases groatly embarrassed.
General Houston refused toflgbtCommodoro Mooro
somo years ago, but inaemuohas old San Jacinto
had proved his pluck he could afford it. Mr. O’Con.
noil, after he shot D’Ksterre, did the same thing.
This was a political duel, and O’Connell said, on
tho ground, “ I am obnoxious to a party, and they
adopt a false pretence to out me off;” an expres
sion which recalls, and which may be applied to,
tho cue of poor Broderick with overwhelming ef
fect. But, notwithstanding Mr. O’Connell refused
tojSght, after his mooting with D’Kstorro, ho con
tinued to speak of his opponents with pnoxamplod
bitterness, and in 1835 provoked Disraeli greatly
by using tho following remarkable language: “ I
cannot,” said O’Coonell, “divestmy miud of the
belief that if this follow’s genealogy were traced, it
would be found that he toalinoa! descendant and
true heir-at-law of the imponitent thief who atojjed
for his crimes upon the cross.” There is no exenso
for a publio man who has adopted therulonover to j
accopt a challenge whon be employs such language I
as this. Tho threatened conflict between Breckin
ridge and Catting in 1854 was arranged after muoli
difficulty, and grew out of a debate in which there
was very littlo acrimony on either side. Every
body now bellevos that tho Ollloy duel ought never I
to have been fought. But, of all these conflicts, I
the moat causeless was that between Han- I
dolph&nd Clay in 1820—Randolph saying “ that I
he would do nothing to disturb the sloop of
the child or the repose of the mother of his
adversary,”* and Clay expressing similar feel
ings. Edward Stanloy, of {forth Carolina, I
now, I bellevo, preparing for tho ministry, has had ■
more than one encounter of this sort. That in 1817,
with Hon. Samuel W. Inge, now of California, I
then.a member from Alabama, was fought near !
this city with pistols. After an exchange of shots
tho affair was amicably adjusted. The present
Senator tiwin, of California, fought with Hon. J.
W. MoCorkle, then a member of Congress from tho
same State, In 1853. Thowoaponj were rifles, at
thirty paces, the combatants to wheel at tho
word and fire. A number of spootators wero pre
sent. After throe ineffectual shots tho par
ties agreed to shake hands, anil returned to their
homes. General Jaokson’s duel with Diokinsoa,
which rosulted in tho death of tho lattor, was'
foroed upon the former, Dickinson being one of
tho most expert duellists 2a the Southern country,
ft is stated that although Jackson was wounded
by Dickinson, he behaved with such coolnoßS that
bis seconds did not know he was hurt until he got
into the carriage. Tho duel between Oon. Den
ver, late Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and
former Representative in Congress from Califor
nia, and Hon. Edward Gilbert, In 1852, resulting
In the,death of the latter, grow out of an article
in the. Alta California , of which Mr. Gilbert
was.,the editor, oonsuring John Bigler, then Go
vernor of the State. They fought with rifles, and
on tho second firo Gilbert was struok, and expired
in less than five minutoa. ,
I might extend this list through columns, but I
forbear. My attention is called to the subject by ro
cent events, and by the apprehonsion which oxUts
in somo minds that publio questions may end in
private broils during the coming session of Con
gress. This all good men ought to unlto in pre
venting. Hot merely personal, but public reasons
should inspire tho representatives of the pooplo in
both Houses to oultivate tho kindest feelings to- •
wards each other. The habit of ehnrging North
ern mon with want of spirit has heretofore pro
duced, and may hereafter produoo, bad blood. The
Southorn custom has, no doubt, elevatod tho duo!
into a tribunal which is acknowledged, if not re
speoted J a different sentiment has made it somo*
whAtdisreputablo in tho free Statos; but I hnvo
yet to see the man, from any quarter of tho oeun-'
try,' fueling his responsibilities as a gontleman aud
a legislator, who can justly be oalled a coward.
Some of the most intrepid men are to be found
among the ultra anti-slnvory leadors—wan who
will not go to tho Hold of “honor,” but who nro
quite ready to defend themselves When attacked ;
and it is due to the truth to say that not a few of
those who are so fond of resorting to tho pistol or
the bowie knife fall off in the great essential of
moral courage. Occasional.

TUe Latest Foreign News.
By the Nova Scotian steamor, which left Liv

files of foreign journals.
Tbo Liverpool Daily Post supplies & summary
of the news of the day as follows:
Tbo world is settling down into repose. The
treaty of pcaoe has bocu signed at Zurioh; over
tures of conciliation from Morocco have been ac
cepted by Spain ; and tho latest nows from Polriu,
if true, is ot a nature to render a war unnoco?nary.
Tho court is ready to receive our ambassador, but
in what way is not mentionod. The only disturb
ing influonoo exists in Ceutral India, whore a robol
remnant tenants the jungle. A foroo is to be sent
against them; bat peiheps it would be better-to
leave them to the time whon ftimino will oat them
up.
A Congross ib now a certainty, at least Franco
considers it as suoh. It would help the Emperor
out of his difficulties, and no doubt roliovo Italy
from oxisting fears. England will bo a potent
Sower in any deliberation ftffocting hor Inuopcn*
enoo, and all parties here nro agreed on that
point. The Conservatives aro as anxious for Italian
freedom as the Liberals. Tho Popo is still In tho
way ; but it seems that tho Cardiual Arohbishop of
Bordeaux has undortakon a mission from Louis
NApoleou to Ills Holiness. 3kb Cardinal is an im
pressible man; he cau, when he likes, put OBide
tho urozlor when power claims an exorcise of du
bious ccolesiaslionl duty.
Although, apparently, thoro is now no dangor,
our Government seems not very well assured of the
faot. Under tho head of military and naval intol
ligonuo yesterday wo find the following:
A special mossonger from the Lords of tho Ad
miralty arrived at Plymouth on Sunday with de

It is supposed thnt she will cciumunicato with tho
equadron of eight uliips which left Plymouth on
Thursday, under Rear Admiral Ueorgo Elliott, and
which form a portion of tho Channel fleet, under
command of Admiral Bir Charles Fremantle.
Money is tho sinew of war, and happily it is at
this moment somewhntin excess. “The Amount,”
wo are told, “seeking employment is as great as

Hko tho partisans in “Romeo and Juliet,” Mr.
Ward may learn that even n good oaubo is tho
stronger for being well backed The Government
at Washington will possibly think that to stand
alone, though uoutral, is to invito discomfiture;
for Mr. President Buchanan will not overlook tho
toot that England must ultimately succeed in her
objoct.. She is easily conciliated, but can never bo
beaten off. America, negotiating separately, is
not likely to obtain any advantage that can ulti
mately bo refused to tho Allies; and, therefore,
neutrality will bo resultless. Mr. Ward is pretty
certain to gain nothing by doing what Mr. Bruco
considered degrudlng; nud thero is a precedent
for coming to this conclusion. Russia huo long
boon in active communication even with Fokin, but
her flattery failed in scouring for herself any ad
vantage of moment. Sho is now so convinced of
this that she desires to co-operate with tho Allies.

A mooting of chattel mortgage bondholders, of
th£Williamsport and Elmira Railroad Company
was held to day, nt 12M., at tho Waabingtonßuild
ing. It was largely attonded. Tbo following re
port was submitted by tho committee appointed at
a pretious meeting:
To tho Holders of the Bonds oj the ]Villiamipoit
and I'ftmira Bailroad Company, seemed by the
Chattel ami Third Moit^o^es.
Sinco tbo dato of tboir last report, (Sent. Jlat,)
ynur committee havo been unabla to eheet any
compromise or arranguaent to promote tho inter
ests of the chattel bondholders. Reliving tho
rolling stock of tho road to bo properly protected
while in tho iiossesuou of the receiver appointed
by the Supremo Court, wo aided in risisiing tho
effort to modify tfce termsof the ordor under which
ho was appointed. Had the alterations asked for
boon mane, the powers of tho receiver would have
boen circumscribed to such an oxtentthat ho could
neitlicr operate tho road successfully nor keep tho
chattels in repair. Besides those considerations,
by tho proposed modification? great injustice would
havo bcou done to tho laborots und others to whom
tho company Is in arroars for wages and materials.
-Though efforts have been made to adjust present
difficulties by a. compromise betwoon the various
purtica who claim an interest in tho property of
the corporation, uo defiuito action has been token
likely to lead to so desirable a result. Wo greatly
regret tho failure of negotiations, because our in
terests will bo promoted by au understanding bc
tweou tbo other parties, whilo it his been cur
policy not to interfere with or tako an active part
in any compromises hcroloforo proposed, we are
ready, ns soon aa any responsible parties are in
permanent possession of tho real estate of tho cor
poration, to offer thorn tho uso of tho chattels on
torin3 udvnntagcous to them, and at the Mine time
more judicious fur us to propose than to di-morse
aud noil tho rolling stock. There terms will not
only include tho uso of the chattels for tho present,
but will have lefbrcuco to their uUimatc sale when
ever a nowoorapauy is organized.
In addition to tbo rolling slack enumerated in
tho clmttol uiortgsgo, ih mvnlioucd in our last re
port, our bonds aro secured by real estate acquired
by the company subsequently to tho oxecution of
tho socoud mortgage, which has cost $lOB 96161,
subjoct to mortgages Hin»uutiog to $66,331.
On this property the third mortgage execute!,
March 31st, 1867, is u first Ijcn, and we propose to
include it with tho or sale ot tho obaUols
Threats imo been mado to contest tbo validity
of our chattel mortgage, but they aro vague anil
indefinite, and cannot bo traced to any responsible
source Wo aro tumble to imagine Vfhat questions,
cither of law or fact, enn be raised to interfere
with out securities. As has been already stated,
tho lnnimgcrs by formal resolution, while tho road
was under their control, determined to surromtoi
tho chattels to tho trustees named in tho raort
gages, should such a couiso bo deemed expedient
aud necessary to protect our interests. Though bv
the app iintmont of a receiver, all power to do thf?
is taken from them, wo havo no reason to belie; ■
lint they would bee-uno potties to any proceeding
attempted wlthatoewto proTtnt in ir-uo ofitaiu
ing our property, «? soon a*, by (ho Jterins of tiu
mortgage*, wo aro ontitled to ir film preset)*
truateo of tho second mortgage, who is also ong to
tho board of manager*, has declared that ho will
not sanction any claim on the chattels inconsistent
with the intention of the company when oar mort
gages were executed. Wo cauno. bol icvo that any
of the first mortgage bondholder wilt attempt to
assort or maintain any such claim. The renl pro
perty on which their mortgage Is based is worth
the principal of their bonds, and all arrears of in
terest. Any Quixotlo attempt to obtain tho ohat
tela could uot lncron3o their security, nor would it
result in anything but a poitpuueweutof thoperiod
when they will bo ablo to obtain possession of the
road. 1
Another coupon attached to oar bonds, matures
to-day. As default will be made in the payment,
wo should loso no time ia complying with the for
malities which aro necessary to give us possession
of our properly. By the terms of the mortgages,
it is requisite that ia thirty days after such default,
format demand be made by bondholders to the
amount of $ 50,000, upon the trustees, requiring
them to notify tho company that they will take
possesion of the chattels in six months. The de
lay to which wo are thus subjected was manifestly
intended for tho benefit of the company, and con
templated its probable ability to heal thedefaultby
payment within the poriod namod. Under preseut
ciicumstancfs.no such expectation cau be enter
tained, find if those representing us have power to act
promptly in uuy emergency, ft is not likely that
other purtios besides the company will be permit
ted to make use of this provision of the mortgages
to our disadvantage. It is understood that a ma
jority of tho first-mortgage bondholders have
united, and aro determined to enforce their legal
rights without delay. The board of managers, by
formfil notion, bavo resolved not to interfere with
this attempt. It is, therefore, not unlikely that
tho time for prompt uction on tho part of our repre
sentatives is not very far distant.
As we still entertain iho hope that equitable ar
rn»gtmenl9, by which litigation may bo avoided,
will vet he made between the other parties in in
terest, it i,-t necessary that the bondholders delegate
their authority to some ono to represent their in
terests, and asieiit formally to any compromise
which will secure to u 1 tho entire value of our pro
perty.
It is impossible to foresee what emergencies may
arise; hence this authority should bo general, and
tho persons on whoa it is conferred should have
tho power to act in theprutapteat manner that may
bo neeessarv to secure our rights and protect our
interests. With this view, the committee have had
a power of attorney prepared, which they here
with submit, and recommend every bondholder to
sign. As tho duties it imposes may be onerous, wo
hate thought it proper that tho perrous to be en
trusted with tho uuthority proposed should be
named by the bondholder* themselves, and would
suggest that three gentlemen, of practical experi
ence, be chosen by tho meeting, and their names
inserted in tho power of attorney.
Respectfully submitted.

data, \es!errtav morning he visited the Athectßuui,
the Chess rendezvous nf this city, wiier* ne was intro
duced to a number or chess-people. ard, partfealarly,
the members of the club, by Mr.'Lewis ibkia- Mr.
MorDhy durin< his suy played two g*mes with Mr. W.
G. lhunus, one of nur strr.cge.t players, at the odds of
a knunt. .Mr. Tnoroaswon the two whinh
Mr. Morphy remarked that he believed be could BOt
five thefcnuhttoiir. Thomas. and aeeordtnzly played
h in t» o more sanies at the odas of & pawn and & more*
both of which were won by Mr. Morphy.
Great anxiety v&s felt or several Hiiladelphiaß* to
have a match between Mr. Morphy and Mr. H. F.Mont- •
komery, n( this city. Mr. Montgomery confessedly
star.dßattheheadof chess players in this city, and is
£*ct no has few eaoals m the country. Be had fre
quently expressed Ins readiness to play Mr. Morphy,and ■
was juesent at the rooms yesterday with the intention
ol tratiiyiDZ this ictent on. Mr. iiorphj, however*
declined to play with Mr. Montrnmerj on equal terms*
but was willing to eiuaee in a match at the odds of a
p iv» d acd .a move. Mr. Montsoruerj could no; consent
to play on terms like these, imp,ting an infarority on '
the part ol himself which bad not laen settled by actual
pi •>. Mr. .Morphy, for reasons of his o»n, has deter
turned to plsyaith so one in tsts country on equal
term*. fie has eot done go siaea hi* Ajru’&l in this
country, neither in New York nor Boston, sod was us
wiilm' to make an exception in favor of Sir. Moat, orne
ry. \>e re.ret this,as it preventsainatohbetween
these two gentlemen. un!e«s Mr. Moctioroery shoa'd
content to Mr. ‘.'orphy’s terms, or Mr. Morpay should
yie‘d his determination in favor of tie gallant rtiiladei
phian.
As the p'ay stand* now, or, at least, as it exhibited it*
sell yesterday, Mr. Thomas has made & better stand
a.ainst Mr. Morphv than any of the slavers of New
\or» or Boston. The npencritr cf Philadelphia in
chess miners is so decided that, with ad Jlr. Morphy’s
f ine, his wonderful experience, ard his acknowledged
sui reinacy la tae world of chess, we hare no doubt he
will have a difficult time in eonnuennt such men as
Mont j omer), Likin, Lea is, T-lgbtu&n,atd other*. VT«
rcslh hope that some arran*eieeM eaa be effected by
wh'ch.Mr. Morphy’s real superiority over Mt. Mont.o
nier> can be established. But one way exieU cf e*tab
r*v ni this sypermnt?. snd that t* by actual trial. That
Mr. Morphy snou'J refuse to Mr. Ame
rican » hat he conceded to Anderson and Harrwilz.fo
ret.uer*, is certainly, to our minds, somewhat very
strange.
Mr. Morphy will visit the Athecspum this tr.rrn'a?.
and will, no could, engage in a friendly gams with some
of our players.
