Governor Letcher also gave a public reception, which was very numerously attended.--Many persons were introduced to the Governor and to the ladies of the household; and the generous compounds peculiar to the winter festivities were by no means forgotten. A band of music on the grounds contributed essentially to the pleasures of the occasion.

--Senior Alderman Sanxay made a complaint before His Honor yesterday morning that some days since, while he was in the pursuit of his legitimate business, near the Lancasterian School, he was attacked in the yard of a negro man belonging to Mr. Benjamin Davis by a large bull dog and a fice in a most determined and ferocious manner. By a hard struggle he succeeded in escaping from the yard, but was pursued into the street, and for some time thought he should be torn to pieces. Finally, however,r, doubting Mr. Sanxay's authority to give such an order, had deferred doing so till the present time. The Mayor justified the officer in his refusal to execute the animal without further inquiry into the matter, and took the ground that, as these dogs were in their owner's lot, he did not feel justified in ordering their execution. He, however, warned Mr. Davis's negro against permitting such dogs to go at large, and that he would act differently if he heard any other complaint about them.

He can do the same by the Judges and the members of the State Legislature, and, if they should ever be heard of again, they can never have an opportunity to speak in their own defence. He can break up the press by arresting those who conduct it, and thus extinguish the great lights of freedom — a free press, an honest Judiciary, and an independent legislature — at a single blow. We are far from thinking that President Davis contemplates any of these things, when he applies, through the Senator from his own State, for this power. We believe he would use that power as judiciously as any other man would. But no man ought to be entrusted with it, not even Washington himself, were he alive, President, and desirous to obtain it. We can see no necessity for the grant of any such power at this time, or at any time, and while we believe it repugnant to the feelings of the people at large we are unable to see that
