:SECESSION IN Eatu.—Among the numerous
;eats of interest in our city, we do not 'mow
anything that will better repay a person
no hour or two's . leisure than a visit to
,2 rooms where our corporate fathers hold
•ir deliberations, while those honorable,
miiied - and eminently intellectual bodies are
eeaaion. 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

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

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.

This comparative statement Shows an aver
age advance of about 62 per cent. ; but a fair
comparison requires the reduction of the
present
, CrirrenCy prices to gold, and, with
the premium at 35. the actual advance aver
ages only about 21 per eent. 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.

The Gazette coincides With:the Dispatch In
thinking the resolution - of the Radical Co.
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.
