(Gen • notiton,) who supported Lecompton.
Jones, Dem., of lowa, is already succeeded

Of the remainder, the two Republicans,
Fe/Jamie:l and Wilson, will either ha re
elected or succeeded by others of the same
politics, in all probability. The same remark
will apply to the Democrats, Sebastian, Ben
jamin, Brown, and Reid. The place of Evans
will also bo filled by a Democrat, as will tho
seat now occupied by Houston.
The successors of Bates of Delaware, Shields
of Minnesota, Wright of New Jersey, may bo
said to be in doubt. We are In excellent
hopes that Judge Douglas will "be his own
successor." Mr. Stuart, the able and accom
plished Senator from Michigan, will, it is
stated, be succeeded by a Republican. He
ought to be re-elected.
THE NEXT ITEP
While the Washington Union is denouncing
Judge Douous In the moat violent language,
because be will not regard the English bill as
settlement of the Kansas question, that
paper boldly asserts that If the people re
ject that bribe the whole difficulty will be
kept open; and further, that they cannot get
into the family of States until they have at
tained a population of 93,000, or 120,000!
We give tho language of the Union, from that
paper of Sunday last;
" In affinity we were, at the time, disposed to
attribute the opposition of Mr. Douglas to the
English bill to the mortification of defeat ; and we
were assured from different sources that he had
determined to express his acquiescence in this
bill in his speech before the people of Chicago,
and thus throw himself bark Into the Demo.

of the sot of Congress. But this attempt will prove
to be a failure. The people of Kansas ate at length
eonvineed that plane and quiet ate necessary to

Of all the blundera perpetrated by the cones
pendants from this oity writing to differentpapers,
that in reference to Superior City is the latest and
most transparent. The letter-writers of the Now
York Journal of Commerce, and other papers,
have stated that the late decision of the Secretary I
of the Interior invalidated the title to the original
Superior City, aneatternpts were made to attack
the gentlemen who had taken part in that great
enterprise. It turns out ; however, .that the de
cision of the Secretary affects the title of some
200 acres adjoining what is known as Superior
City. The principle decided by the Secretary Was,
that the half-breed preemptors cannot hold the
land, inasmuch es they are not citizens and bona
fide pre-emptors. All the proprietors of the land
land have to do now is to take the necessary steps
under the law of 1811, and establish their claim
to the occupation of the land by its survey and
improvement as a town site. As a good many of
your citizens are interested in the silty of Superior,
I have deemed this reference necessary to the
blunders of the IVashington correspondents al
-1 laded to.
It appears that the canvass in lowa turns en
tirely on the Douglas question. The Democratic
candidates for Congress ore compelled, in order to
save their own oonsietenoy and honor, to come
one in support of Douglas and against the Le
compton policy of the Administration.
A good story is told of Gen. G.W. Jones, Senator
from lowa, who loot his temper at a late Domooratio
meeting because Mr. Leflingwell, Democratic
candidate for Congress, denounced the reen•Eng
iish swindle, and declared that no power above or
under the earth could move him to support it.
tien. Jones, It is said, got very angry and left
the stand. -
You will perceive by the Union of Sunday
morning that the editor repeats hie proposition,
that in the event of the rejection of thli English
bribe by the people of Kazoos, they must wait
until they attain a ratio of 93,000 before they can
be admitted into the Union as a State. This rat
tles the question, so far ns the purpose of the Ad•
ministration is concerned, if the Union speaks by
authority. The people of Kansas cannot present
another Constitution without finding the Adminie-
Dation arrayed against it. If they take Lecomp
ton, they can come in with 30,000 or 40,000 of a
population: If they refuse it, they must wait.
Does this not' eep the whole issue open, and carry
it into every Congressional election in the North ?
Unquestionably It does. And yet the Union is
mailing Judge Dougias in terms of the utmost
virulence, alone house, as it says, he is keeping
the Kansas trouble before the people.
Your fellow-citizen, Charles W. Carrigan, as I
understand, is exceedingly indignant at the
audacity of Mr. Landy in presuming to run for
Congress from the Kensington district. Carrigan
asserts that Mr. Buchanan is for him for Congress,
while Mr. Landy's Minds deny it. It makes
very little difference which of the two becomes the
candidate, as either will be defeated. The ques
tion of veracity, however, should be settled.
The news from Ohio is to the effect that the
only way to save the party is to put it book upon
the Douglas platform and re-endorse the doetrite
of popular sovereignty. Both Pendleton and
Groesbeck are in danger. Nothing can save
them but the divisions of the opposition.
The St. Louis Ropubl lean, of a late date, con
tains letters from Illinois to the effect that Doug.
lea will undoubtedly curry that State. The Re
publican being within view of the canvass, may be
expected to he a good judge, particul , rly as it la a
strong Lecompton journal. Oceisiosat.

WASIIINGTON, July 19, 1858
On the 15th of May last a contract was signed
with the War Department, to furnish fur the Utah
army 50,000 buehele of otrn (min of 1856) at
eighty cents per bushel, to be delivered in two in
stalments, via: the that 25,000 bushels on the Io,h
of June last, at Nebraska City, and the other
25,000 bushels on the 18th of June last, at the
lame place ; it was also stipulated that the grain
must be there a few days prior to the appoint
ed day of delivery, for the purpose of inspection.
An officer who was commissioned to that duty was
at the proper time in Nebraska City, but there was
no grain, and when the day of the first delivery
passed, with no indications of any grain being
delivered, he reported the fact to the Wartermas
tor General. The latter instituted inquiries of ex-
Deventer Porter, who wee the security for the
contractor. An answer was returned, that they
did not know where the contractor wa.a, and the
ex-Governor earne to this city, expressing great
surprise, and asserting that he had not seen the
contractor since the day when the contrast was
egned, (the 15th of May.) In the meantime, the
18th of June Approached, on which slay the ,whole
30,000 bushels ought to have been delivered,

look after the contractor. After several weeks
absence, during which he visited many places in
Pennsylvania, and proceeded even so far as to
Nebraska City, be returned recently to Wash

he was unable to ascertain anything of the eon
tractor. As a matter of mime, the Department
despatched en agent to buy grain at any cost, and
to hold the bondsman responsible. The ex-Go
vernor was again in this city, and remained nearly
a week, and I was told by some of his friends
that the ex-Governor feels quite comfortable, be

him responsible. This, however, remains to be

DEAR SIR : I arrived here several days ago, and
intended proceeding without delay to the Indian

until a conferenoo should be had by him and the
Commissioners, and Brigham Young and other
church dignitaries. Young and hie party arrived
here this afternoon from Provo city. All the
families formerly living here have moved to Provo
and its_neighborbood ; there is really net one en

amicable understanding, this. anti every other city

Most of them seem anxious, and all are willing to
burn their houses and everything else. A °antral

To-morrow, at nine A. M., the parties will meet.
I bad the pleasure of meeting, this evening. Brig

common man, in my opinion; he has complete
control over these people. Governor Cumming is
much esteemed by them, recognised as Governor,
and had the difficulties really settled before the

was a friendly intercourse. I feel confident that
everything is about being satisfactorily arranged
without is any manner compromising the Govern•
merit and Administration.
I will not attempt to give you an account of our
proceedings to day; there was, however, some
middling rough talk, not by Young, but by some
of his big men. It was with great difficulty I
could let pees unanswered mann allusions and

Wig worthy of note how highly this writer
speaks' of Governor Cumming as a true, good.
and able man, He says he bad really the

for the wisdom In &homing him for such a delicate

and we shall new give our readers ouch particu

The Agamemnon and her tender, the Valorous,

of the great vessels carrying about 1,500 miles of
cable, with a new and, improved appara
tus for paying it out, which it was calculated
would have allowed for any strata or unequal mo
tion of the ships, as the very speed of the vessels
regulated by automatio arrangements the rate
at which the coil was to be discharged. After
having been three days at sea the expedition was
overtaken bye fearful gale, which continued with
out intermission for nine days. On the seventh
day of this heavy weather, the ships, which con•
tinned to keep together. had to part company, and
the Agamemnon was obliged to scud before the

The ships having again met, the splice was made
good, and they commenced to give out the cable a
second time; bet after they had each paid out
about forty miles it teal reported that the current
was broken, and no communication could be made
between the chips. Untwtunately, iu this instance

as the electrieinne, from the fine calculations
which their sensitive instruments allow them
to make, were able to declare such to have
been the foot, even before the vessels came
together again. Having cast off this lose, they
met for the third time, and recovered the con
.nretion of the cable en the 28th. They then
started afresh, and the Niagara having paid out
over ono hundred and fifty mike of cable, all on
hoard entertained the moat sanguine anticipation;
of success, when the fed announcement we;
made upon Tuesday, the 29th, at 9 P. M., that
the electric current had ceased to flow. An mon
ea the necessity of abandoeing the pr. 'not for the
present was now only too manifest, It was con
aidered that the opportunity might as well he
availed of to test the strength of the cable.
Accordingly, this immense venal, with all
her stores, &o , was allowed to awing to the
cable, an in addition,. a strain of four tons
was placed upon the breaka, yet, although it
wee blowing fresh at the time, the cable held her
as fast as If she had been at anchor for over an
hour, when a heavy pitch of the roe snapped
the rope. end the Niagara bore away for this
port. 11 Ibro starting, an arrangement was made,
that should any accident occur in giving out
the cable before the ships should hero gone one
hundred miles, they should return to their start
ing place in mid ocean ; but in case that distance
Fhnuld have been exceeded before any casualty
should happen, they should make for Queenstown.
In accordance with this understanding, the Ni
agara having made one hundred and nine miles
before the mishap, returned to this port. Upon
her homeward way she must have "aided the
Agamemnon, but owing to the heavy togs which
prevailed for the greater portion of that time, she
mined teeing cr gaining any tidings of her.
"As the Agamemnon has not yet arrived,
although her deatizetiou was directed towards
this Ape, it is conjectured that she might not
hare delivered the arranged quantity of coil at
the time of its failure, and may have cons°•
quently returned to their place of mseting, which
will unavoidably protract the suspense which must
necessarily be felt. as, until he he spoken with,
nothing dm:tette can be learned as to tho occasion
of this disaster. The two principal electrician!,
Dr. Seely and Mr. Lewes, on beard the Niagara,
are- inclined to believe that the accident oc-
cnrred In board the Agamemnon, which, es
it would only implicate a faulty arrange•
ment of some of the apparatus, would still
leave hope of the ultimate success of the under
taking, whereas, if the separation bee occurred
at the bottom, its effects will be greatly to
damp, if not doter, the enterprising spirit of the
directors from persevering in this gigantic prnj•ot.
Should nothing be heard of her consort, the Nia
gara will, after coaling. proceed to her coaling sta
tion, having still on board about 1.300 miles of the
cable, which, supposing that the other YMTI bee
retained a similar amount, would still permit of
thejunction being completed, and allow thirty per
cent. for casualties. In thin last trial some 500
. . . .
miles of the rap was lost, and when it Is colon
fated tint It is toughly estimated that the voice
of the cable Is about £lOO a mile, it will be SCOT
that the sacrifice up to the present has not been

good Philadelphia Is surrounded by manufloto
nea of various kinds, and our mills and workshops
may bo counted by thousands. Those who
toil front day to day within their walls have but
few opportunities for recreation and relaxation.
When, therciore, a chance does occur, It should be
taken advantage of. Of late years this practice
has become almost universal, and the employers
end that it has many advantages. The only re
gret is, that the time occupied on such occasions is
necessarily cc limited. rho expense, too, is often
a serious drawback. A workingman or mechanic
who has it family dependent upon his efforts, finds
it exceedingly diffieulVto save anything for luxu
ries. It should be the policy, therefore, of nil who
have large numbers of men in their service, to
render these excursions as economical as possible.
In some eases, we are told, the employer* pay
the entire expense. Would that all could afford to
Indulge in so liberal a spirit !
nail Rare on the Delaware.—Quito an ex
citing contest came off on Monday, among a num•
bar of twenty-two feet 3 Wats. The boats entered
were the Fssling," the " the "liar.
tramp," the " Wrcy,:' the "limn," the "
Hstneon," the "Jeffries," and the "Fashion."
The arrangements were that they should leave
Point Airy at It A. M., and sail to the Chester
buoy and bank. The prize consisted of a snit of
Il igi. Some of our most skilful yacht pilots were
engaged in the race. The weather was highly
favorable, a fine breeze swelling the malls of the
beautiful craft and hurrying them through the
waves with a swandike grate.
As the eight yachts moved down the shimmering
river, the spectacle was vary winning indeed.
The boats made excellent time—the "Eliding"
achieving a decisive victory by coming in twelve
minutes ahead of the second yacht—the nlier
trampt." The "May" was the third, and the
"Hill" came in fourth.
We understand that the owners of the "Ihr
trampt" aro not at all anti:ied that tho "Esding"
is the better sailer, and they have entered into an
agreement for a contest between the 'two yachts
for a purse of $lOO. The prospective sport causes
much excitement among those who take pleasure
in yachting. The race will come off this day
week.

than I scented, and after I had made the eolatiet
of the crust and rest of the pie ; this was lifter 1
mode the experiment; but I had before tested it:
the piece of sine had n't been used ; I bought tut
zinc in a sheet about six or eight Ignore feet oi
perhaps larger; the piece I used was about two
eight inches ; I did not test this piece ; I had 11
other zinc about the place but in this form ;'Tay

I found more 111101110 in the eruct thanln the meet

I can give no opinion of what amount of arsenic

the sugar that fell from the cruet, but elute poetic,
adhered; I put this with the cruet in the solo:Ion ;
If, thrown on after sugaring it would soak through
but some might attach to the sugar; I tested eight
or ten grains of the sugar; I only examined for
laudanum by the smell, but I detected none; the
enroll I did detect was allaniee; the taste of the
arsenious acid Is scarcely any; I do not think
could ho detected; I know of no ease of record In
which a person in eating could detect it; if it woe
in solid it might, by its roughness; In tho solid

no trace of arsenic in my zinc when I have tested
it; aconite of pelisse is a poison, equal la. Its ef.

else but arsenio in chemistry which could have
given me those results with the tests I applied ;

Von would not lead to certainty, only to eaepiolon;
these tests wore for the detection of arsenious

in business with him; about four years we were
together; our partnership terminated et our fail

Orost-exemlned by Mr. Brewster.—l came on

then ; next raw them at Mr. Kelley's office, but I
merely saw them on the table as I mud ;. next
raw them this morning; I last sew Robert write
about the end of September, 1855; I have since
received notes from him; tke lest note I received
from him was about four or live months after our

am an expert in meriting; in No 12my answerliruoto
to the envelope than contents, to judging of the
handwriting, but I am satisfied of both ; in E K
No 8. there Is a dash under MitsSherburne which
is peculiar to Robert; ho used to generally dish
hie Figeature, but I cannot say there Is any resem
blance between this dash and the dash he was in
the habit of using; I cannot fix the date of his
siting the limb language, except it woe before
our dissolution—perhaps mix or eight months; it
was tend° on the steps of the minor refinery ; in
tho street ho was describing a difficulty between
him and his brother E. to me; it made such an
impression upon me that I acquainted Edwin with
it to prevent it quarrel ; he was describing some
thing, and after his description ho used the lam

rive and made an impression on nip; he talked
earnestly ; I can't soy his manner wee that of an
injured man ; I am certain ho need the curse or
oath ; I don't think I Feld before the alderman he
did not curse when ho made use of the words;
think I was examined before the Recorder last
February; I mode no memorandum of it.

the family;
I never made a pie while I lived
there. (Dish handed to witness I To the beet of
my knowledge, it is the mate of four dishes we
hail—it is one of four—l have no doubt about It,
for I knew it the tint time I saw It; there 'was
one made of them to go ton friend, and two
more made for the use of the house; they
wore mince pies ; Mrs. Kirkpatrick made the
pies ; the first I heard Jane Carlin mane
down in the morning ; I cannot say 'what day
of the week it was;'l got ready the table and
the flour and every thing ready to make mince pies,
also tho pie board, lard, all except the mince moat
and brandy. that she, Mrs. K., brought down her
self; Mrs. K. Oahe down, and then made three
pies; upon one dish there was two small ones' at
the time the plea were made we had not &lithe
four pie wo had only one lit to bake pies
on; the others were all cracked and broke; I broke
ono of them ; I threw the pines away in the water
closet; ono crime horns in two pieces from Mrs.
Richards; they were broken up the day I went
home afterwards; they were broken up after
they came home frorreMra:. Richard's; and after
the pies were made the broken' plate was in the
pantry; the other one was in the house all stacked,
and not At to hake a pie on ; Mrs.' K. made
the pies first; she wide three; two little ones
on one dish, and that I call one ; she told
mo to bake them nice; not -let them get
burned, as ono was to go to a friend; she m,,0.
Honed eho did net know who the friend was; it
might be a Mr. Sharp; she said the one she ex
pected to eend taxa) , she would make in the deep
dish and weeld put a little mark on the top of it
so she would know it ; she did not say who was to
send it away except Mr. K. wee going to glee It
to a friend; the two email ones were baked on
yelinw dishes, so also the other large one; I baked
these pies; there was a little erosion the top cruet
of one; It looked like a flight mark made with
the beck of a knife ; it woe upon the deep dish ;
the yellow ones ware 'quite shallow; she told me
Met the one which was toga teeny she would sager
it before It went sway; after being baked I set
them on a waiter on the klichen. table, to keep
them till they got 0114 ; I rock them up stairs and
left them in the conservatory ; they wen not su
gared ; none of the mince pies mitts that colon
down emirs were sugared; Mrs. K brought them
down whenever she wanted them for dinner; one
large one end the two 1001111 ones being eaten In
the family; the one on the White 111;41 Woe not
eaten in the family; I saw a eagired pie
in the conservatory mice, and that is ell I saw

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL;
TrIE MONEY MARKET.
PHILIDELPLIIA, July 20, 1858.
There is little change to record orneerning
stooks, except that Reading Railroad stock made
a slight advance' this morning.
In the Money market there is no movement to
record.
It is said that the late temporary loan to the
city will not suffice for its needs, and that another
loan of $500.000 will have to be oonlrnoted. There
is one feature in the financial management of the
city which needs prompt attention. The Trustees
of the Gas Works have been long unable to extend
their pipes, for want of authority to contrast loans
for that ptirpose.. The pipes ate Usually laid
with money procured by loans, the intermit
on which is far
. znore than paid, by the profit on
the sale of gni to 'the consumers, but' for want of
the necessary authority to contract a loan for the
extenstun of the works. the trustees bare been till
able fur many months to lay any addlional sop
ply pipes. The consequence is that the trust,
instead of being as it used is be, in edvaree of
private improvement, has fallen far behind, and
streets are grilled, curbed, and raved, have the
water-pipes laid down, and are built upon by
thole who would be largo consumers of tic but
