of Brooklyn. City Railroad Company Themantlfe of the illustrious Faudeen has fallen on a worthy successor in the city of Brooklyn, who occupies a post of no less responsibility than that of president of the City Bailroad Company This morning the President and superintenden of the company entered the Eagle office and xe quested an interview with the proprietor, who unsuspectingly stepped into the private apartment adjoining the counting room, where in a mo" xnent or two he was jumped at by A. P. Stanton President of the City Bailroad Company, and struck at with a brutal ferocity, which would do credit to Morissey or the lamented Paudeen in his palmiest days. The brutality was entirely unexpected, but nevertheless, the assault was a( impotent as cowardly and the physical consequences are less serious than their brutal perpetrator intended.

The proprietor of the 'Eagle has always hereto fore relied upon the laws of his country for his protection, and found them entirely adequate, until he committed the indiscretion of permit ting Stanton to enter his office, and extending to him the recognition which one member of a civi' lized community considers himself safe in ex tending to another, without any risk of attempted assassination. During the winter of 1866, a very mild and moderate paragraph appeared in the Eagle re flecting on the utter absence of accommodation on the Hamilton avenue route, and the next day this Stanton called at the Eagle office, threw off his overcoat, and called on the proprietor of the Eaolb to come into the street and fight him i The challenge was treated with a contempt equal to that elicited by the yelping of a mangy dog. If anything could aggravate the intrinsic brutality of Stanton's conduct, it would be the fact that the Eagle has ever dealt with the railroad company with the utmost cousideration, and systematically abstained from the publica tion of anything that could injuriously affectits interests. We have repeatedly incurred the displeasure of our citizens in Gowanus and in the Ninth Ward, and other localities where the inhabitants complained of the conduct of the company. We will endeavor to ascertain with all necessary dispatch whether the laws of the land are sufficient to protect law abiding citizens in the private recesses of their own premises, and whether the Bailroad Co.

will defy its charter and the rights of the traveling community, and carry its objects by retaining as its President a shoulder hitting bully, whose proper position in life is the vacancy created by the removal of Paudeen, if his Infamous and brutal ruffianism would not exclude him from even that fraternity. In the meantime, Stanton will find it impossible to plan another ambuscade and will be treated like any other noxious brute animal should he attempt to enter the Eable Office again or cross the footsteps of its proprietor. The Removal or Judge Lobdjg Gov. Banks gives his reasons for the removal of Judga Boring, in a message of considerable length. He recognises the force of the "Personal Liberty Law," which declares the holding of a State and United State office by the same person incom patible with the public interests.

Having thus got rid of Judge Loring, he de votes half hiB msssage to showiDg that the pro visions of that law, so far as they affect other officers, are wrong, and suggests their repeal. If this is not playing the demagogue, we do not understand the meaning of the term. The New York Times says of the removal of Judge Loring 'This act of Governor Rinks is the rrossest attack nnnn tlie independence of the judiciary over witnessed in the wted btates. It will lODg maintain, as we trust, its bad eminence. The Courier Enquirer says ''The removal or Judge Lorine is much to hn both lor it eflect upou Massachusetts, and unon the conn try generally.

For the movement for the removal has from ihe beginning bec animated by a vindictive, venom ous spirit. The Evening Post avoids any committal, but says The policy of tho removal mav be a matter of doubt It is certain that the question has "been forced unon tho nre. Administration by tho enemies of the Republican par ti mi' piuij iuj timing (we uavu me authority 01 the Boston liaily Advertiser for the assertion) to lot tho question lie aside." New York Hebces. A lithograph containicg the likenesses of Ihe five execrable wretches who made the cowardly attempt on the life of the French Emperor, underlined the Martyrs of Liberty," is now exhibited in the print stores in New York. Several of the New York naners zealously maintain that their English accomplice Alt sop, if taken in New York, should not bo given up to the foreign detectives and some ra bid French Bepublicans are ready to blow out the brains of any policeman who should attempt to take him.

Is it any wonder that foreign criminals flock to our shores, when they are eo kindly cared for exalted into heroes, defended by the leading newspapers, and the lives of officers threatened if they attempt to take them and if taken, the bur and the bench combine in their efforts to vade the law and screen the miscreants. Verily, Now York is the paradise of riscalitv. Cjn Napoleon Arrest Allsop This question is thus answered by a correspondent of the North American, writing from Washington 'Tue newspapers have been much exercised with a presumed case of international difficulty, arising from the possible demand, under our extradition treaty, of Col. Allsop, for complicity with the recent attempt upon Louis Napoleon's life. It might be well to catch Col.

AUsod be fore making ihe false issue which is now raised. But even if caught, what right has the French government to make any claim for his person upon the United States He is a refugee from England, if at all, and the crime with which he is charged was committed on English ground, and therefore, if punishable at all, must be punished by Eriglish law; nothing is plainer. Our treaties of extradition are explicit as to the eases which are covered by them, and if this one be included which is cleaTly not in that category, the claim must be made by Lord Malmesbury and not Count Wnlewski, as might be discovered if the experiment were tried."

63 Fulton slreel. The Season or 1868. A continuance of such fine weather as we had last week will soon draw from their retirement the ardent admirers of thsse healthful and manly pastimes, and from all appearances the approaching Reason promises to be a very successful one for the increasing popularity of these respective games. We are among those who ate anxious that these out door sports should be encouraged among our too' little exercised citizens. We pay far too much attention to our desks, counters and offices than the laws of Dame Nature will admit of withon the accompanying penalty of ill health.

Espe' cially should the youth of our city be encouraged to devote more time and attention to these ex' cellent games than they have hitherto done. They are advantageous in every respect, morally and physically, and we think it would be an ad dition to every school, that would lead to great advantages to mental and bodily health, if each had a cricket or ball club attached to it, as in EDgland. There are between 30 and 40 Base Ball Clubs and six Cricket Clubs on Long Island, and the number of players belonging to them over four hundred. Base ball is the favorite game, as it is more simple in its rules, and a knowledge of it is more easily acquired. Cricket is the most scientific of the two and requires more skill and judgment in the use of the bat especially, than base.

The Convention of the Base Ball Clubs is now in session, and that of the Cricket Clubs will take place early in May. Last week a few of the members of the Brooklyn Cricket Club met for practice on the grounds on Franklin near Fulton and propose to meet there every Saturday until their regular grounds at Bedford are in proper condition for play. Next Saturday some of the members Of the South Brooklyn Base Ball Clubs will meet for practice on the grounds on Smith near Carrol place, if the weather is fine. The season may be said to have commenced, and soon we shall be called upon to record the result of the various matches between competing clubs. I'hingg in Albany.

pTom our own Correspondent. A leant, March 20. The Senate hold a very brief and a very dull see. ion to day, nearly half of the senators being absent after the departure of the noon train. The only transaction of any interest to BrooklyDites, was the ordering to a third reading of the Buggies land grant amendment bill, and the bill authorizing a reduction of the sapital stock of the Mechanics Bank ot Wil liamburgh.

THE NEW WARn. Last night the bill to create a new ward in the oitv of Brooklyn was put upon its third reading and lost oy a voio oi os to vi. air. xayton moved to reconsider the motion lie upon the table. Probably the of the defeat of this bill is to be found in the fact that when it came up for its third reading jar.

uaryea asKea inai it mignt do referred dack in order to give an opportunity for the hearing of some remonstrances wnien ne nan received on me subieot. This morning he presented remonstrance from some ot trie eitizeus ot Brooklyn against it. I shonld not be at all surprised it the bill might eventually pass THE WATER COMMISSIONERS. Mr. Dayton presented throo petitions signed by between three and four hundred citizens of Brook lyn depreciating the action of tho Water Commis sioners and asKing tnat.

a select committee of three be appointed to examine mlo their acts and that said committee nave power to send for persons and pa pers, iia yeii no acuuii nan oeen tacen on tne sub ject. The bill relative to the lavin? down of railrnarl tracks in Brooklyn reported favorably bv tho commn unving urn cnarge and was as amatter of course reterred to tne committee ot tho whole. The Foiltlon of Aid. Piarsou. Mr.

Editor I observe by an advertisamnt in your columns that Alderman Pierson is again a candidate for Alderman of the Third "Ward In this connection it is not improper to renew that gentleman's conduct during the time he has already been in the board. It had been given out before his entrance upon his duties that he was a high minded, honorable man not a rank partisan and, therefore the elevation of Alderman Piersoa, a Bepublieao, to the Presidency of ii i i i tne uomuiuu uouncu, was cot taKen as seriously to heart by the Democrats of this city, as oth wise it might have been. As soon as he was firmly seated in his chair, we fiud him a party to a mean, pettifogging proceeding, by which the Democrats were deprived of the vote of Alderman Oliver of the 9th "Ward, and Ameiicansand Republicans were placed in the little offices around tne Uity Hail. Alderman Pierson as a lawyer must have known that the injunction served upon him as President of the Board had no effect upon those aldermen upon whom it was not ssrved and should have stated. His silence on that occasion shows him to have ben partisan in the case.

We next nnd him placing himself on the Rail road Committee. This committee of necessity 1 j. muai ctnayo uc nil luipuimui; one to ourcuizens. It is the avenue by which justice from a large auu jiuncum tuipuianuu id tu ue procured. On the one hand is the combined capital of men influential from their wealth and social position ami always seeking to obtain the most money for the least outlay; on the otnernand tndividual citizens whose property is benefitted or hurt according as the city railroad is or is not compelled to live up to the term of its agreement.

That Committee should be above snsnirfnn yet shortly after its construction Aid. Piprnnn 1 3 .1. rusiucnii ui tue niwru, me oniy lawyer in the uuru, is returned as counsel to tne Uity Kailroad and does not resign his place on that Commute understand that Aid. Pierson defended his course on tne ground tnat ne is a lawyer and works for pay, and it is nis living to do so. Is he an nh tnse that he does not see that it is not lawyer i i iBiouu iuc Linuitiitu iumpany nireu, nutzcr man Pierson, President Pierson, Committeeman Pierson.

Else why were his legal abilities just discovered Ho has lived some years in Brooklyn, and has probably not become very much more eminent in Ms profession this year than the last. His position at all events in this matter is one from which a high minded honorable man would naturally shrink, and which few men who have any regard to propriety of conduct would con sent to occupy. To our mind it only neces sary to state it to ensure from honorable men an unanimous opinion of its impropriety. We thank Alderman Spader, of tho Sth Ward for bringing this subject into prominent view h7nr the Board of Aldermen, an i through them before the public. If Alderman Pierson is to ha elected let it be uidistood that ho pops hark the Board the pid of tho Itnilmnrt Company, and he will be shorn of the influence which the unbiassed, iudependent, highly honorable Alderman ought to exercise in that body.

We can scarcely allow ourselves to behove that the really independent voters of tho 3d Ward will permit themselves to be represented in our City Councils by such an independent Alderman. VOP POPULI. Gouoh vs. Lees. The Portland learns that the action, John B.

The Bbooting of ratncJi aicLiaugbiin, attax Paudeen, by Daniel or 'Dan Cumiingham, in a dance house in Howard street, has created almost as much excitement as the Bill Poole affair. The quarrel grew out ot ot a dispute about the merits of the pugilist Morriss6y Cunningham being an ardent ad mirer and friend of the latter. The biographies of the parties have been published, and in the next issue of the weeklies we shall find their portraits, Neither Paudeen or Cunningham will be much loss to society, and the latter has only done what the police and judges ought to have uone long since, rid the community ot a dan gerouB ruffian. Indeed the citizens of New York owe these ruffians who now and then nut one of their number out of the way, a vote of Tuanics. it is a sort of a compensation for the murder of quiet and unoffending cltizsns, as in the cases of Mr.

Swanston. ex Aid. Smith, and Mr. Simonson of this city and if Sogers, O'Con nell are so well cared for, what should be aone tor Uunningnam The freedom of the city in a gold box, and a series of complimentary resolutions irom the common Council, are the least tnat snouid be ottered tor such a service.

During the past three years he has turned his attention more particularly to politics and has figured as con troller at primaries.

DOU bllV Otillttie, 11 IU 14, Bhooki tk, March 22d, 1853. To the Editor of iht Brooklyn Eagk but, Having noticed in your paper of the 18th that my name was struck off the list of Insnoo tors of Election appointed for the 12th Ward Pri mary, and tno namo ot WiiliamDowd substituted, nad resolved to mouire of you the cause, hnt Ac. ferred tho inquiry, believing an explanation be given. I have not been mistaken. You state cioany in next day's issue (19th) that the Chairman the City General Committee, Mr.

David Ait kon, applied at your omeo and directed the erasure. Permit mo to say through your columns that this proceeding on the part of Mr. D. C. Aitkin was unprecedented, and resorted to without a shadow of auiuonty.

At the last meeting of the Committee mv nimn was tho first acted upon, and sanctioned by that body, as Inspector of Election, and should therefore appear in tno printed returns in that ordor but atraugo enough, i McGuire's name headed the list. Of course I could trace tho underhnnH mnihi nery by which this wrong was done, yet 1 expressed neither regret nor concern. But when I observed my name stricken out, and William Dowd's inserted by tne nigh ot the President, Mr. Aitkeu, 1 was perfectly astonished at this unwarranted and extraordinary Btretch of power' Whv. ir.

"Williim Dowd's namo was never montioned in the Committee, or, if montioned, wbb never aoted upon or authorised. If tho collective notion of the Committee ha deem. irreversible by a minority, then tho novelty of the Chairman's proceeding is the moro striking. Has tho Chairman been chosen by a majority of the Committeo of which I am a member, tnat ho mv. whenever it should suit his purpose, surreptitiously reveree their deliberative will I should think not and believe tho man pursuing so improper a course utterly unworthy of the position he holds and farther, that such a proceeding is calculated to divide and demoralise the Democratic party.

1 hvo been deprived of tho position the Committee gave me by the private action of Mr. Aitken havo beon assaulted and dragged from the polls like a felon, by a police officer, in consequence, and was compelled to hold the polls in another place in the Ward than thatdirecled by tho Commitieo. You will rnnililv perceive the necessity of this communication as a mattor of Justic to me, and, supposing Mr. Aitken may see it, that ho may havo an opportunity of reconciling nis conduct with the action mittee over which he presides. James MoCobmick, Inspector of Election 12th Ward.

(For the Eaglo.) Hon. F. Spinola, "immortalised," he has triumphed, his assessment bill passed tho Sonato unanimously, and in tho House by tho largo majority of consoquontly it has becouio a law; wo can sco nothing wrong in tho act as it is passed, its undeniable proof of that will bo in its operations for the future.

12 at to ed of the the ed col and cf KvBlDg Paper published la the United 0ttest Its ralve aa an Advertising dlw is thjrofore apparent MO 'DAY EVENING, MARCH 83. The Democratic Nominations for Aldermen. The primary elections of the Democracy of the city, held last Friday evening were accompanied in a few of the wards by those family feuds and exhibitions of "amicable hostility" and "geiitler manly animosity'' with which the tmterrified amuse themselves when there is no enemy to be encountered. The respectable voters who were cajoled into the ranks of Black Bepublicanism and'were led away by the glittering promises of a milleninm held out by the American party, having retired from both organizations left them to the few politicians who still cling to the hope of an ultimate turning of fortuue's wheel. The Democracy having demolished those joint remnants of the two patties, found vent for a little of their pent up and superabundant energies in internecine struggles in some few wards in behalf of rival candidates for ward offices.

Jlence, in gome of the wards there are duuble nominations. These gplitB, we doubt not, will ba remedied before the election and all differences healed up. The nominations are ns a wuoie very satisfac. tory. In the First Ward, Mr.

Whitney is well known as a sound business wan, highly intelligent and occupying a good position in society. In the Second Ward Mr. McNarnea, the present Alderman, has been re uoniinatsd. He has discharged the duties of the position to the satis, faction of his constituents the proof of which is the renewal of their confidence in bis ability and fidelity to their interests, manifested by his renomination. In the third ward a committee has been appointed to select candidates.

It is usually impassible to elect a Democrat in this ward, but the pretent condition of circumstances in the ward may overcome the usual majority but if not, we hope the other side of the house will select a good candidate with no other object to serve than the best interests of the ward. In the fourth ward Mr. Newman is well known as a man who would reflect credit on the position! and although he has got a hard road to travel his personal worth will enable him to surmount all difficulties. Mr. Newman is the leading member of a wel' known dry goods firm in Fulton street and is a good representative of the mercantile element in our community.

In the Fifth, Kinth, Twelfth and Fourteenth, there are split, and we prefer to pass them over for the present, leaving it to the cool second thought of the parties concerned to make some arrangement which will secure ultimate harmony. In the Sixth Ward we regret to notice the defeat of Aid. DelVecchio, whose course in the Board we had supposed would have secured his re election, but of course we defer to the decision of the voters. Mi. Franks, who has been chosen in place of Mr.

Delvecchio, is a man in whose hands the interest of the Ward will be equally safe, and the fact of his success over such a popular antagonist, demonstrates the esteem in which he is held by his fellow citizens in the ward. In the Seventh Ward Mr. Rowe has been selected for another term. Although not a strict party man he is a high toned gentlemanly representative, and as such will be a valuable acquisition to the new Board. Mr.

Sharkey, who has received the nomination in the Eighth has no very friendly feeling towards the Eagle' but as a matter of impartial justice we are free to bear testimony to his zeal and intelligence and his consistent adherence to his party of which ho has ever been a prominent and active member. Mr. Sharkey is gifted with a feelicg of inde pendtnee, which while it frequently militates against his popularity, yet elevates him in the esteem of all hones men. We hope sincerely he will be elected no man has more fully or faithfully earned this mark of confidence from his party, and we are satitfied that no representative could be chosen whose election would be a greater advantage to the ward. Mr.

Shaw, in the tenth ward, is the present representative, and is no doubt well acquainted with the duties of the office. In the eleventh, Geo. Olney is re. presented as a very capable and trustworthy can. didate.

It has been hinted that he is connected in some way with the Gas company, but, we presume the statement is entirely incorrect. In the Eastern District the names of the candidates are less familiar than in the Western District Dur, so lar as we have heard their nomination commented on they are unanimously approved of. Of Mr. Kalbfleiscb, in the 18th, we feei bound to acknowledge the energy and ability with which he hs represented his ward both in the Williomsburgb. Common Coun cil before consolidation, consolidated council ever sines.

rnber of the oornnwsion that and in the As an active framed the ac 01 onsoiidatinn. as onsoiidatinn, as a member oi the BonTrl i for a loop number of years, Mr. Ealbfl; has rxhibit. a knowledge of the public necefsities, of the requirements of intelligent legislation, and is withal distinguished by a manly independence of character, as rare ai it Js ustlmable. He is open and manly in his resentments frank aiid sincere in his attachments and altogether such a representative as nny ward may feel proud of.

We are satisfied Mr K.lbfitisch will appreciate the sincerity of our soatiments and the spirit in which they are uttered. On the whole, we believe the Democracy have placed a vry good ticket in the field, and when we oons dt the materials by which piimary elections are generally controlled, it is a matter of agreeable surprise that such candidates should have be on the nsult.
