BThe Enquirer came out Thursday morning, under the proprietorship of Messrs. NWillard and S. S. Whitehead. As we anticipated, it is changed into a Douglas organ. What Messrs. Denby, Hall, Rudd) and other Administration Democrats will eay and do now, we can't imagine. But, " turn about is fair play." First, the Administration had the paper for an organ under Mr. Hall. Then Douglas's turn came, under Mr. Whittlesey's proprietorship. Then the Administration got " on top " while Mr. Hull conducted the office. Now, after a six months' scuffle, Douglas gcta astride his antagonist, and soon we may expect him to commence gouging and pounding old Buck " to kill." Verily, the Enquirer passes through many and rapid changes. CbauaKNteataf. Editors or Journal. Last Fall the stockholders determined to remove their Fair Grounds. The cost of this removal was considerable, and to place the officers in funds, a subscription was started which was readily ngned by individuals in this city who were considered prompt men. Again, in the Fall of 1858, gentlemen subscribed stock to build an amphitheater, one-half of which they paid. This shows well for the interest our citizens take in any move that is calculated to foster our industrial inter'ets; but let me tell these subscribers that their subscription will not liquidate the debts due for improvements made on our Fair Grounds. The printer, carpenter, lumber merchant, laborer, who have furnished material and fashioned the same, want their moey. It is justly due them, aud as justly due from those who subscribed. Will all who know themselves to be indebted to the Fair Ground ; Association, .come forward at once; or stall I go to the Secretary and obtain & list of their names, so tuat those who subscribed may know who they are and how much they owe? I know that the ofiicers have beeir annoyed very much by the constant duns of the creditors of the-Association. Subscribers, walk up, and let the Association be freed from debt. Febuary 10th, 1 8G0.. ; St. Valestine's Day is coining. It will arrive on the 14th. There will be a demand on the part of the boys and girls for tender missives," done up in embossed and perforated paper, with colored designs, musical rhyme9, set off with ribbons and all that sort of thing. Some of the roguish folks, both male and female, will want comic valentines, to " plague" their victims. We suppose our stationery and book men are supplying themselves with Valentines. If not, it ia time for them to do so. 86iWo hope all the mtynbers of the Opposition will use their exertions in sending word into the oat-townships in regard to the Opposition County Ma9s Meeting. of tomorrow afternoon. The time for giving notice is short, and ought to le improved. 6yThe use or the Court-house tlas beeu secured for the meeting of the Opposition County Convention to-morrow. The order of prohibition did not apply-to political meetings. . . KtaJT It seems to be decided that there will be no change in the time of holding the Chicago Nutional Convention.

The County Poor House. At the last meeting of the Schiller Association of this .city j the various public benevolent Institutions of the country at large, and our State and county in particular, were discussed. In the conrse of the discussion, our County Poorhouse was touched upon. Some members stated that rumors were afloat that the inmates of the said Institution were not eo well cared for as humanity would require, that destitution and infirmity should be provided. Pending the discussion, it was resolved to appoint a committee of three to examine into the state of facts, and repor t at the next meeting of the club. - The Committee reported as follows': , On Tuesday, the 31st ult., we, th Committee, proceeded to the Poorhense. : The day was appropriate for the ' occasion," and the weather such a3 would give us a fair chance of testing the sufficiency of care had

for the inmates of the house. It was snowing hard, and a cold wind blew sharply over the bleak fields. The Warden received us cordially, and invited ps to take a review of the house. .He conducted us through all the rooms, gave' ns alt desired information, and seemed at the start a little Astonished, but by no means disagreeably affected by our visit, the object of wbich could not long remain a mystery to him. It is probably the first time that he has experienced interest taken in him, and those confided to his care by others than the Commissioners of the County. And, in view of these facts, we take much pleasure in saying that, on the whole, the result of our visitation has been a very satisfactory one. There is, however, still room for improvement, and we would direct attention to two features, the first of which is the inadequate beating of the cells inhabited by the insane. The whole number of such cells is five, and in each of the four walls dividing the same, there is a moderate sized grate to admit the heat evolved from a stove placed in the middle cell. Where the stove stands, however, we found but a moderately low temperature. . This, ' considered together with the fact of the window, which each cell has, being directly opposite to the door, will explain why the four other cells were uncomfortably cold, more so as that portion of the building containing the said cells is much exposed to wind and weather. The inmates of the ceils, of which there are two at present, are sensible enough to spend most of their time in bed. The Beds are the second feature we would direct attention to. The majority of them contain nothing in the shape of pillow or bolster, consisting only of a ma tress and comfort. But the amount of covering found did not convince us very strongly that the poor inmate of such.a bed, on a cold night, would feel at all comfortable. ' Looking aside from the two points mentioned, we roust repeat that the condition of the Tnates of the house is by no means bad. ,The eating room, and all other rooms usuaiiy occupied, were well supplied by cheering grate fires and warm stoves. As we found among the inmates several Germans, we took occasion .to interrogate, at least those in the presence of the Warden, as to their condition, and they were unanimous in declaring that they were wel! satisfied. One man even said that, as be had formerly been in the Marine Hospital, he found the living much better, and much greater cleanliness in the preparation of food in the poor houso .than In the other institution. An occasion soon presented itself to judge upoptis point for ourselves, as the bell called dinner. Extra dishes. on account of our presence, could, owing to the short notice, not have been prepared, nor could we, from the behavior of the ones eating, assume that they were better served than usual. We were, on. the contrary, convinced that everything was taking its usual conrse. . Tho table wa3 plentifully supplied with bread, meat, and vegetables, accompanied by warm drink, which all seemed well prepared and clean. We would add that the store room was well supplied with all the necessaries of life.. . The sick of the house stated that they receive medicine, and the requisite care and attention. The physician visits the house according to necessity, once a day, or every other day occasionally ; even oftener than once a day. Whatever is needed for the preservation of health is attended to, such ns ventilation, cleanliness and order, and every one has ample chance of biking abundance of healthy exercise. . Whenever opportunities oifer, the inmates are, according to their' abilities, employed at work: but nowhere did we find reasou to suppose that they are worked to excess, or roughly treated. We were, from our observation, convinced that the Warden enjoyed the full love and esteem of his flock. " ' ' In consideration of the' foregoing, the Committee feels justified in declaring, 'that the complaints alluded to at the beginning of this report, are entirely groundless. It', as above stated, there are defects and omissions in the institution, then the question arises, '' is the Warden to be held accountable for them, or is it the manner in which the County Commissioners discharge their duty in the matter?" The- Commissioners let the house to the one who will take least. He then has to take care of the poor ; no matter whether there are five or five hundred of them, he must furnish them nil 4iey need, and receives for such, besides the sum of money agreed upon, tlio use of the farm belonging to the county. Whether that system could be improved upon or supplanted by a better one, is not matter of the present committee. Ph. Dkckke, Dr. SCHELLER, ' C. TOMHKMKLT. Consistbscy. Mr. Niblack, from this District, in explaining his vote on the recent occasion when he changed from Bocock to Smith, the North Carolina Know Nothing made this remark, : which we copy from the Enquirer of Thursday morning : "There is nothing iti thj antecedents of the gentleman from North Carolina, as I under stand them, which makes it at all consistent forme to vote for him." What did he vote for him for, then ? Did he feel that consistency in an Administration Democrat was a matter not to be regarded a moment? ' .. teEjOfficial advices from Mexico state that detatchments of seamen and marines from the United States ships of war Brooklyn and Saratoga, by order of the Government, have been stationed at Tampico and Minatttlau for the protection of our citizens and property, during threatened attacks from Mhanion, ' ' "

Washington ew. ! Washington. Feb. 8. Mr. Wasbburne,

of Illinois, presided, and Mr. Colfax was the Secretary, at the Republican, caucus last night. ''... Colonel Forney's batch of appointments will not be made for a week to come. Minister Faulkner has, inaccordance with the views announced in President Bucba nan's annual message, been' instructed to propose to theFrench Government the remov inc. of its discriminating duties both on tonnage and on articles, the. gross product or manufacture ot the one country, when arriving in vessels belonging to the other, which restrictions seriously affect the Ame rican commerce. , The object is to obtain such principles of reciprocity as the Govern ment has secured with other nations, r ranee beiDg the only exception. . The Speaker has completed the list of standing committees, but may make changes before they are announced to-morrow. ' New York, will be represented , on the Committee on Commerce by John Cochrane. This gentleman will at an early day bring forward a bill aeretoiore reported and ad vocated by him to fortify the -various reve nue and collecting laws with such modifi cations as may remove the objections, which were formerly urged against it.

" ' ' The Washington correspondent of . the i ost says that no business will be transacted in the House the present week beyond the election of a Printer, which will take place Thursday. The Speaker will then announce the committees, and the House will adjourn over till Monday,' when the work wi". begin in earnest. A. large ma jority of the members incline to hard work and a short session. Congress will adjourn about the first or middle of June, not withstanding the vast amount of business to be' done through April and May, when Congress is not in session. Evening sessions will be held, and as much business transacted in thirty days as is usually done in mid-winter in three month. , The Republican ' caucus this afternoon nominated John D. De frees, of Indianapolis, editor of the Indianapolis Atlas, for House Printer, his majority being one over Mitchel, of the St. Louis News. , This selection is said to be independent of any business combination with him. It is probable that a daily paper will be immediately established in Washington under his control. The Republicans have appointed as a Congressional Executive Committee on the part of the House, Messrs. Colgrove (probably Colfax), Chairman; SpauU'ing, Washburne of Illinois, Alley, Stration and Killinger. 0 The Interior Department will shortly send preliminary instructions to the various Marshals for taking the next census. The schedules will soon follow. '".'.'', '. It is arranged that the death of Senator Broderick will be announced irt the 'Senate by Mr. Ilaun, and in the House by Mr. Burch. . - A report prevails that - trie Commissioner of the Land Office (Mr, Smith) has tendered his resignation for the present. - - i J6S?1 Commodore . Yanderbilt has contracted for the building of a powerful new steamer for the Atlantic and Pacific Mail Steamship Company, to run between Panama and San Francisco. She is to bo called the Queen of Hie Pacific, and , is to be the exact counterpart of the Northern Light, except some change in model, with a view of obtaining greater speed. She is to have two beam engines, scventy-two-inch cylinders, aud twelve feet stroke. He is also having au iron stern-wheel steamer for the San Juan Nicaragua trade; that will carry 1000 passengers aud their baggage, and will draw only two feet water. , , fiisSrlt is stated that the Legislature of Mississippi has rejected the bill to repeal the State law against the introduction of Africans into the Stute, by a vole of three toone. Good for Mississippi. She is coming to her senses."' Texas will refuse tosend a commissioner to the proposed southern disunion convention. . Good for. the lone star," too.

We go in for Union' nieetings aud Union excursions. Lorenzo Delmonico, the celebrated New York restaurant proprietor, has failed, aud made au assignment. Ills financial downfall resulted from engaging in a coal oil speculation connecting himself with a company in the manntacture of that article. He was, it seems, the most responsible man of the company, and had to bear the brimt of the losses, when the indebtedness had to be paid, aud the slowness of sales failed to meet the drafts on the treasury. ; ' , Bsi?"
