In Tuesday's issue it gives way !his spirit to nn extent exceeding any of its mer abibitions, and in a half column edi i' tl scones the Observer of a t.bitternes sof :ill" towards it which the editors of that , snal know well we do not entertain On oreosite, we have always sought to &lia rthe kindest relations with our eatempo - r. and if we have ever shown any dispel n' to ttinsinuate" unfair charges Against it. to make "covert thrusts," involving its rep vion,the fault has been more in the sot than Lhe intention The misfortune with our .phh.re seeing to be that they are not L P io concede to their cotemporaries the 3 freedom of editorial privilege which they themselies. No paper of our Ile ,:ounce is more liberal in vesting its Mg e of individuals or partie than the Die- FOO, and sorie less willing to submit to the e9l of criticism:when directed against H ris y. It emits day after day a -continued se of the grossest charges against Democrats, ! 4 1 when they retaliate, invariably sends up a nek of scandalized innocence that would be iahle were it not that its insincerity make's e:ually provOking: to responsO to some of these predominant ne of our neighbor, and-in rebuttal of ;to partizan crudities,-we have seen fit oc ionally to etort in such s uffmner as they cored to merit. We may have used sharp gage, but certainly none that was not mutable under the circumstances, and we , y that it can, with the slightest 'degree of •ice, accuse us of . overstepping the bounds •klitorial courtesy. Among the fraternity i aghout the Union, there is an acknowl ei latitude to which papers of opposing' Inn faiths can go in tlteir criticisms upon saother's positcons, and in our relations • the Dispatch we hash carefully abstained • taking a step beyond the limit thus laid nby the commou consent of those most ctly interested. he Dispatch'a intimition that our comments its course have "gone far enough," if ended as a threat, will avail nothing.

A negro Minstrel entertainment ,F L rrar Hall, or a circus, will not afford One ,offlte diversion ; and the beauty of the ttee is, that it Cad be obtained without the !t of purchasing a ticket of admiesiop. The scenes weekly enacted' there are always tremely rich, but on Monday evening last, the Select Councils they were of a pecnli 'y refreshlng nature. To give our readers proper under Standing of the situation, we premise by saying that a few weeks ago. rPolice COmmittees of both bodies made a port naming eleven persons as the custodi •! of the public morale fur the next year. In e Common branch the report was readily ac pted, but when it went to the Select objec n was made to several of the names pre wed. and it was laid over. The opposing -ray are a minority of the body, but have needed. by strategic movements in delaying e question for several weeks. At length the Bence of the majority become worn ont,and •eyaetermiued on Mouthy evening 10 press ••t matter to a decisive ballot. Whoa the questiez of accepting the report one tip, five voted in Its favor Azpd three pion it, and it was declared adopted. Then teued a ipecies of filibustering that would •se done credit to Lopez, and redounded Irtality upon Walker, the "grey eyed man of tiny," The minority read from the city Buenos to show that it only provided for . pointing nine policemen, when the report sled eleven To meet this objection, an or. isneee was at once prepared authorizing the , loe of eleven, which would have been (m -ei bat for an unexpected flank movement on 'e Cart of the illustrious trio of dissenters. Fling themselves about to be cheek... Late& ey arose ea masse, and moved toward the o-,r, with the intention of withdrawing and "Title the body without a quorum. The resident of the Council is too mantel a gen ii to be foiled in that manner, and he at tee sent out an order to the Sergeant-at-Arms 'oole the door and prevent any egress, This e did, from the outside, just in time to pre eat the seceders from escaping. A member iSen offered a resolution fining any Council nto,who quitted the room in violation of the rale! s l oow hich' was adopted, one of the re :e:hone three magnanimously voting in. its ME At this point things tooted desperate for *.l seceders, and their. countenances wore a otoile or despair that was sad to behold. But ' it skid that necessity always produces a tts for the occasion, and the adage received fresh verification in this instance. A bright ',^tlght flashed over the ponderous brain of cue of the trio:—his hand Involuntarnifound its Way to his-pocket—and out Bashed the glistening blade of a knife ! The attention of the "loyal" five was taken up with the can ticle:llion of a report; the -opportunity was t avoplle; the blade of the knife was applied to a screw in the look, which was removed tithout difficulty; 'open dew the door,and out /used this illustrious phonon, to their o Inexpressible delight sad the consternation of limigjailors. In their flight they carried "t 7 oithithem n quorum of the body, and of "urge brought a. close to the bUsmess of the treeing. It is impoesible to read, =oh las Itttonso, such proceedings u these, without being pro. fondly impressed with their Incomparable dignity, and feeling a fervent gratitude that our lot is oast ins community which selects such worthy representatives of its wealth,mor. slily and intelligence.

This estimate. however, is for articles at wholesale; the real complaint of high prices comes from those who patronize the retail dealers—the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick-ma. ker, whose prices are still nearly as high as they were when the war was in progress and when gold was at from 200 to 280. The jestion 'ritually Omura to every one, sod has been asked us a thousand tiers, "Why is it, that with gold at so much lower %pares then during the war, prices still re main as high, and on some articles are high er?" The auswerls plain enough to all who have given the matter a thorough study. It is owing to our enormous tariff, and to Atti heavy taxation which the Goverinient 'is compelled to levy for the purpose of meeting its expenses and paying- off the interest on the public debt. There it a tax on every thing we-see, est, or smell, and the producer, of course, charges it to the.retail dealer, who, in turn, lays It upon the consumer. Every person through whose hands the unities pan must not have only his profit upon them, but on tl:ti tax besides, and the result b that by the time they reach the end of tiudrjourney, the cost is more than double the original val ue. We see but one way to get rid of high prices, and that is to place the Government in the hands of men who will administer lie affairs with economy, do away with cur im mense standing ;rig and navy, restore the Routh to the -Union, so that It may help to pay tie& tamale* instead - of being as at present a Barden to the Treistity, stid - eitilillsit &means of obtaining revenue - which will: bear uport an alike, and not, as now, fall wholly - upon the consumer.

Committee recommending ticliiect vote titbit' members of the party upon the Senatorial nomination,is of no binding force,and believes it will be disregarded throughout the coati. It says that Mr. Oars, Chairman of the 454114. , mittee, on givlng.the casting vote in favor - of the resolution - , expressed the, opinion that it would be of no authority, and cited the fact that at the last County Convention a similar movement wasbrcught up and defeated. The resolution is stated by that paper to "meet With very general disapprobatinn",--a fact, if. it is one, which has not Vetbeen made 'bible to disinterested outriders. On the contrary, looking upon the quiet/on from our stand point, without caring a fig which p arty of the opposing Radicals succeed, it would seem aa if the proposal to resort to the direct mode of voting met with gtheral - aceeptance, with comparatively few exceptions. We mike the prediction, that, in spite' of the bnetility of the two city organs, a vote will be taken in nearly every precinct of the county, and, farther,' tbst it will result in Lowry's favor by two to one.
