The eleotion of Col. Forney 'to the - Clerkship of the
;Howie' ite a subject of Congratulatory remark among
;politicians of all sorts. u well as among independent
;gentlemen geneially. I was in two or three large menu
,factories of pulp opinion on Saturday, Where political
:preferences were not in unison with those maintained
:by Col. Y., and the expression was unanimous that the
' l ehrotion wag due to hum, and that they 'were grati fi ed
pet his triumph. Many prominent men of Tammany
Hall, sturdy seri:enters of the Administration, some of
Ithem delegates to the Charleston Convention, are quite
i tteto en expressing themelvea pleased that good fortune
has fallen to the lot of a man so eminently deserving.
;It would certainly delight you of The Press to hear how
! the editorial fraternity of New York rejoice at the
.Colonel's victory.,
I The great bond of contention among our olty veliti
:Glue and parties, is who, shall own the Board of Police
;Commissioners.' On Friday last Commissioner Bailey.
A pretty independent sort of a personage, propoled
that hereafter the meetings of the board should be
etiblio, which was voted down by one majority. He
then moved to reconsider the resolution adopted three
weeks sines, by which the detailing power was taken
;from the general superintendent and placed in the
.bands of a committee of the board. Ile based his oppo
!sition to the transfer of the detailing power back to the
board upon the following ground'
Ist. That it was wrong to plane this great power f n
the bands of a oommittee, a majority of whom were
;non-residents in the county of Herr York.
2d. That it was not Ratios in accordance with the nu
?foretelling made with Gen. Pihrbory when he ea
r e lreßalts P y r t i raVg..Z.P that the action of the boa;d on
;the 14th of Jantlarlllll4 nothing but a political bargain
'of the worst kind, entered into between Mayor Wood
rand other member]; . the OomMlealoll. And why?
loimply because the 'General had not seen fit to make
ittonfers indisonminstely to suit Individual members.
Mayor Wood in his meal imperturbable manner, re
lobed to the speech of Mr. Bailey. The gentleman seem
ed to be viatica under the very foolish impression that
Ile was the only representative of thhicity in the board.
iHe assured the gentleman that his mistake was vary
:great; because be (Mayor Wood) was the only represen. ,
; tative of the people here.'Their votes elected - him, while
the gentleman was only aoterig as the representative of
'the State, having been appointed by the Governor. 'Aa
regarded the detailmant of men, those who knew the
men best' ought to be the best judges' of the positions
itherahould occupy. Gen. Pliabilry had not been in big
;present °Moe long enough for thin,
'Mr. 'Bailer reiterated his charge of bargaining be.
! Meyer Wood Arid the Rernbllcans, which was
ablest!, demed by those members. Results, howevev.
'are rather ocalfinnittory of Mr. Bailey's position. The
generaluarbity was further inereased by the statement
of the prestdent of the board that General Pitcher, bed
made transfers withimt consulting him, as the rules re
quired, and that therefore his power should be abridged.'
General Pilebury is a doomed van.. His real power
will soon ,be so completely taken from bins as that he
cannot remain lathe department with any self-respect.
There are ,polltioal schemes mixed up In all this, to
which I shall hereafter partioularly allude.

Oa Too* morning last, 10th inst., a fire broke
tent in the hones belonging to the estate of Stephen
'llinter,deoessed, Second street, above liellingshead
avenue. The three houses adjoininc belonging to
Air. A. B. Burbank, of Henderson, y„ Mr. Wm.
Perry's office, and Mr. Gallagher's building, were
,entirely consumed. The building adjoining it, on
the west, belonging to Mr. F. Strolts,'wee pulled
down, and prevented the spreading of ' the tire.
The quiekest trip of the season from Chicago to
Superior City, was made by Mr. Paul. He left
°Wag° the morning of the 10th inst., and after
stopping in St. Paul twenty hours, reached here
Jan.' 14th, at BP. M. Four days from Mango to
Superior City, overland, in mid-winter, and two
thirds of the way by stage, Is hard to beat. Jan.
11th, two teats arrived here from Anoka, near Bt.
Paul, laden with produce-2,700 lbs and 2,500 lbs
each', per load: • This is the commencement of a
trade, which will, ere long, form quite an item in
the business of Superior. Another team arrived the
same day, bringing two parties who wish to oroot
•tr , otrohase a saw-mill in or near the Bay of Su•
parlor.
rite sooretary i ef the Agricultural Society gave
an oyster sapper, in hinter of these arrivals. Ile
*lll, it possible ' induce them to purchase or erect
a aaw-tnill near the mouth of the Nemadjl river.
Jan. 17.—Three more teams arrived from Sad
son', on the St. Croix river, and also live hood of
settle. They sold out immediately, and returned
the next day, with fresh and salt fish, salt, dc.
Isincerely hope that ono of these merchants
will bring a drove of cattle to be shipped from
this place for the Ontonagon or Portage Copper
Mules. The little propeller Seneca lies at Quebec,
pier, and the steamer Lady Elgin, of Obleagols
froze in at Copper Harbor. Three more teams ar
rived on the 20th from Monticello above Et. Paul.
,Superior City will eventually monopolize the pro
vision and lumber trade of Lake Superior. One
of our merchant!! expects to ship one and a half
million shingles to the mines, besides a large
amount of lumber. "Over twelve thotteand tons,"
says the Ontonagetififiner, "were imported during
the past year by the towns of Ontonagon, Copper
mad-Eagle Harbor, Eagle River, and Portage lake,

' In a former communication I g ave yap eome ac
count of our young and thriving pity, its popula
tion, !Nation, business prospects, dm. In thin
willecinfine myself to matters of general interest.
the spring emigration to the "gold mince," the
advancing waves o r which are already upon us, is
the main topic, of dismission in this Western
country, and everyone is trying to turn it to some
account. Our merchants and bulimia map, gene
rally, are laying in a heavy stook of everything
that may be needed in the mines. They alsocal
culate upon getting a fair share of the patronage
of the Denver, City merchants,
as they are able, on
account of excellent railroad facilities, to whole
sale goods almost as cheaply as it can he,done in
St. Louis. Our hotel-keepers are also nlarging
their different houses, so as to be able to accommo
date the crowd of hungry fortune-hunters bound
for the El Dorado ut the foot of the Rooky Moun
tains. Borneo, oxen, nudes—everything in the
Way of stock and equipment', era -be purchased
reasonably here, and our city may be considered
the principal outfitting point west of St. Louie.
The dietanoe from here to Denver City is about
els hundred and fifty miles; good level nearly roads
all the way. The fare by stage, from this point or
Leavenworth•—•thirty.five milesbelow on the
river—is one hundred dollars. There b but a
Weekly line now, but a tri-weekly line wilt be
started in a Om days.
Boarding is luolnded in the fare, which Is con
siderable of an item, so it requires six and
sometimes seven days to make the tylp, travelling
day and night. With good mule toms, not too
heavily loaded, parties can make the tri fromhere in twenty days. • •
" Owing to the delightful. weather we have' had
daring this month, 'event parties have been
tempted to cross the plains at this early peaeon of
the year ; bet as the climate Is quite changeable,
they may encounter some severe weather• before
reaching power:. Gregory and his party, eon
stein of about twenty men, after remaining here
h *coif of so, started (op the mines a few days
fa no° . J u d g ing from their mcg i eincernent, they
are e likely to have a high time of it, as op of their
teams broke through the lee while oretstng the
river here, demagTng their cargo considerably,
and causing them a good deal of labor and
trouble to fret under way again. The latter part
of April will be time enough to girt put.
The railroad from here to Atchison, twenty-five
miles below this place on the river, is nearly cow
Plated, and the oars will be put upon it, at least by
the first of March: From Atchison the road is pro
jected to Marysville, one hundred and fifty miles
nearly due west 'through Kansas Territory—mak
ing the first railroad welt. of the Missouri slyer.
It is but the commencement of the great line which
will in a few years stretch its iron arms hundreds
of miles zeroes the plains to the Rooky Mountains.
Although we have had but little sleighing, our
winter has been very gay thus far. We have a plea
sant, well-arranged little theatre, in which there is a
creditable performance two or three times a week.
Besides a charity ball occasionally, we have had
our Franklin and Berne festivals, which; were
grand affairs. A. masquerade ball is announced
for the evening of St. Valentine's day, and a

merit of Rev. Mr. Knapp and Mr.
Skinner.
Kev. ff. W. Knapp and Mr. Charles B. Skinner,
in aompilanoe with the request of Stephens, have
published a statement in relation to his last hours.
The enbetanee of their statement is, that on the day
preceding his execution their entire attention was
directed to his spiritual welfare, inetudlng efforts to
induce him to confess the murder of his wife, if
guilty ; that Stephens seemed to experience a
,realizing sense of his condition ; that early in the
interview he proposed a season of prayer, and
rising from his knees, desired a hymn to be sung,
after Web he voluntarily stated that the pistol wee
given to him for the purpose of committing enfold°,
but that it would do - no good to mention names
Be solemnly denied any intention of using it on
the keeper or warden, and said he once knelt dawn
tense ItAm himself, when he believed the band of
God stayed him. Re then said t I know no
thing of any means used to prodnee my wife's
death." The gentlemen making the statement
say : This confession of sin before God was
marked by the presence of the Holy Spirit ; he
abjured all merit in himself, and plead alone that
righteousness whiett is of Christ.. For the drat
time since the pistol development of Monday we
realized a marked change in the zone."
Stephens passed the day in uninterrupted reli
gions services, until his Mends left him at half
past four P. M. At half-past eleven P. ill , they
returned with Rev. Mr. Camp, and found him sit..
ting in the corridor. Be sold ho had been reflect
ing on the sufferings of Jesus in the garden of
Gethsemane, Ile. wept, but soon changed to a
subject of joy. The statement describes the re
ligious services, whieb Pooupled most of the night,
and says Stephens expressed great anxiety that a
missionary should be sustained to labor among the
prisoners at the Tombs.. The statement acesoludes
as follows:
"Toward the Moment of preparation, amid the Pa
aunt entreaties of triende that he would con fees, hie
mind wu Romewhattheturbed, but lie regained porn-
Mauro and eheerfalpess when the eherilf led him forth.
P s he made the rapid_ teenage from the oell to the gal

, At the moment death he a,nswered the
question - proposed— . I am Innocent of the &nth. or 91
any ' knledge concerning the death, anis wife by pot.
son. This was as he had promised, and he haa goon to
Ids God.
" Wo a're all press* onward io the Judimeut seat of
chrhit. ft will be known in that day how touch nes been
done for the praise of men pod how little for the glory
of God. We solemnly believe, and nut without met
cause, that James Htephens was guiltless of hie wife's
murder.

It will be seen that the statement is not signed
by Rev, Mr. Camp, and we believe that gentle
man's impressions with relation to Stephens's inno
cence, are different from those of Messrs. Knapp
nod Skinner. It does not appear that Stephens
made any explanation of the sower In whioh
Sanchez obtained possession of the pistol found In
his hands:. It is evident, however, that both pri
soners were engaged in the plot, whatever it was,
or Sambas would not have knownehat Stephens
had a pistol. Stephens appears to have thrown no
light on this subject, or to liarre made any allusion
to it. --.New York .post, hot evening.

Mr. CHANDLER said that there were serious charges
contained In the meeeaee againetCongress. One Wee an
imputation that theL President had bmn sonata to be
imposed upon. AsWle who had pressed that bill, he wee
effected by this charge. If the President Wall correct,
he (Mr. Chandler was liable to the imputation o igno
rance or fraud. If the President wee not correct, then
he was liable to the same imputation. He contended
that the appropriation wee properly flaked for, and was
actually needed. The water wes continually changing
in the Mee, and the President wag laboring under a
misapprehension of the true state of the ease. Ile de
nied that anybody attempted to deceive the President.

Mr. Brown's resolntion was then postponed.

Mr. TOOMBS. of peOriele i eefeeded the Ration of
the President. The latter believed the bill uneonatitu

which was the proper course. He ( Mr. Toombe I would
never consent to refer constitutionalquestions to the
popular will. The rights of the p eople p of the ft /It...rested
on no such frail dependepoe. Ihe object of the bill was
to Wunder the people of the country for the benefit of

DEMOCRATIC MASS MARTINO. AT THE HBAci
QUARTERS OF•THE Kersiong CLoB.—Lee; evening a
large and spirited Democratic mass meeting was held
at the headquarters_ef the Keystone Club. Twelfth and
Ohostnut streets. William Loughlin, Pt.. of the Se
cond ward. presided. Alter sa. few remarks from the
chairman on the prineleee and
_prospects of the Demo
cow, he introduced the Hon. itiohard Vaux, who was
greeted with enthusiaetio applauge. The tearer said
that. after a retirement of four years from active par
tioipation in Democratio meeting' as a epealter. he now
oheerfully came forward to raise his voice n behalf of
the party to which, for over twenty years, he had been
attached. He then referred to the Contest with cans
!totem. from which the Demooraoy had always emerged
crowned with victory, and bespoke for the organtgation
3 comes* unparalleled in her glorious annals of the past.
He alluded to the different Demohratic Presidents in
terms of the highest praise ; but when about to mention
the name of Mr. Duch/man, he suddenly stopped, and
gave a significant look. that served to awaken almost
leafening applause. It was evident from the tenor of
Mr. WaUX'S remarks that he hay little sympathy with
the tyrannical dictation which comes to Philadelphia
from the Myren at Witehington. and still lees for those
qow in office under a Democratic Administration whose
live. have been spent in opposition to the party, whose
leaders now heap fortune on them`for their ancient ha
tred. Mr. Vtaux had no faith in that man who now
seeks to control the Democraty. and who, but a few
gears since, was prominent it, the apti-Makcnie move
ment. then beenme a Whiz, a Know-Nothing. and hod.
for the sake of hie pockets, an admirer of James Bu
chanan. This reference to Mr. Reed °Hefted profaned
cheering. Mr. Vaux spoke in an eloquent strain for
nearly an hour, aid many declared that it was the best
speech they had ever heard from him.
Dunn Elm., in response to numerous calls,
came forward, and expressed his concurrence in the
sentiments which had fallen from the lips of the gentle
man who had pryCedod him. The day for independent
Democrats had arrited. and thait•iyiluence woyld be
felt at Philadelphia. Reading, and Charleston, in the
coining political campaigns. Servility can no longer
be the creed of those who believe that " he is the free
man whom the truth makes free." Too long had men
bowed down to a base &egotism of patronage. and the
earnest spirit of genuine Democracy was becoming
thrilled to arms by the intrepid answer of a noble leader,
lo had reserved his arrow for the tyrant's heart.
,et there be union. urged the speaker, and success
will await the real Democracy . who. panoplied in God's
own truth, will march over the grave of an unholy fa
naticism to theroaaessir of a go.den future, Lot the
