A Specimen. Grand-Duke.
Tho Provisional Government of Modena
have exemited a little stroke of finesse which:
deserves credit for its adroitness. They found
a quantity of letters left, as things of no valnc,
when thef reigning Driko of Modena ran away,
on tho outbreak .of the recent Italian war.
These lotters, written 'during, the ..Crimean
campaign, speak most insultingly; and abusive
ly of Napoleon, and were written by that very
Grand-Dnko .of Modena who . now looks to
Napoleon to force him back, by French bayo
nets, upon’ the Modenese, who wilt not have
him upon nnv forms. The Grand-Duke, in
these letters, names tho Emperor'of the
French as Mister BoNAPAME-i-decTaros hini,
to he a brigand—affirms that ho is a self-made
Emperor,'who must. be’ put down—and de-,
nouncee all his followers as knaves. Of course,
these epistles, at this timo, produced, are not
likely to imake Napoleon very, violently lu
favor of tho writer. ■: ■ *
Of all .the runaway Italian rulers, Feanoib
tho Fifth, Grand-Duite of Modena, since 1846,
when ho succeeded his father, la aboiit the
meanest and most'contemptible. He is,grand
sou of tho Emperor JosEPn 11, husband of
Mahia-Thebesa, Queen of Hungary, and is
not only an archduke oi Austria, but a Prince-
Koyal ot .Hungary and;Bohemia. ■.ln 1848 he
was the most'determined enemy of Italian in
dopendence ■ and progress.' ■ He is tho only
living soVcroign who haS used torture in order
to extort confessions.'of guilt, from'persons,
accused or suspected. ,A tyrant,’he is a
coward, of course. When tho Revolutionary
spirit of 1848 called for reforms in Italy, this
Grand-Duke fled. A national Government,
then established, declared him to 1 have for
feited his throne, and initiated numerous ne
cessary and. important reforms! After the
disastrous defeat of Cbables-Albeet at No.
vara, Fbancis V was brought back to Modona
by Austrian bayonets, and- ho immediately
abolished all tho. improvements and.’reStbred:
the torture. A pretended religionist, this
sovereign has booh ' habitually guilty of the
most lo.Wrlivcd.and' sensual excesses, ; and,
thqugh possessed, of'enormous wealth,' is a
confessed.gambler at, cardsj more jtkan sus
pected of clovcrly using sleight-of-hand to
assist fortune, when his cards wore bad and
the stake high. ■
His last; leaving Modena fully exemplifies
this man’s choracter. A’writer in the SUch,
of Paris, who was an eye-witness of what 'oc
curred in the city of Modena, describes it
thus: ' ' ”
11 Wbeii tho JFrenoh had crossed the Alps, (he
Duke comprehended that his position had Become
a very criuoal one. He took down all the pictures
in bis magnificent palace, packed np bU objects of
art, tookTrom'the fine'-librnry of Bate the most
valuable *df tboto&nttscripts, possessed himself of
the rare collection of gold medals, and sent off all
these riches by night to Vienna. The handles of
the doors of the rooms in the dno&l palace were in
silver; ho had them'removed and replaoed by
glass ones. When all these things had been re
moved, ho took all the money from the public trea-.
eory, and left at the head of bis army of 3,000.
11 At that time the StateofModenawasoocupied
by Austrian troops, and theßnke'sforee wasbmbO
died nolens vbUririti. that 'of Austria. The Duke
had at the time eighty State prisoners 'oonfined in
the fortress of Reggio: ho would not abandon them
to their ead fate, nut bad them condnoted by the
Austrians to the prison *t Mantua. Ihis last aot
shows the character Of the man/ ‘To carry 1 off pic
tures, books, money, and • gold ; medals/ was bad
enough, bnt that’mlgbt be tolerated,.although the
act was Pot a very aelicMo one; - but' to beat men
liko articles of furniture," and to include them in
the general removal, wee a thing never before seen
or heard of. , It is useless to' add. that these eighty
unfortunate prisoners are still in tho daws of the
petty vuUbie,of Modena. V •
This mkn would have made ‘ a capital pawn
broker, perhaps—but, in double capacity of
thief and tyrant, is certainly not qualified to
reign o\cr the free znon of Modena. Napoleon
can scarcely force him back upon tho people,
whohaye bo much cause to loathe and spurn
him. ,
The Kladderadatsch.
As Hamlet the Dane saw hla respectable and

so do we sep, and almost Sear, sundry' of ohr
good-looking readers, exclaiming “The Klad
deraiaheh. What on earth can that bel” We
reply, It is; neither fish, flesh, nor fowl—no
thing to eat, nor .drink, nor wear, but simply
the natoe' of a journal published in Berlin,
the Prussian Punch, infact, and as lively,racy,
and satirical as <ran be under existing Circum
etanccs, jForthero la only the dim shadow of
independent jonrnalisni, in, Prussia, and the
editor, whether of a fiinny or a serious papir,
must take good cari) to.avoid any cuts, with

there, entitled if the.authotities.”' -
They.arc free, , however, '.to laugh at out

Prussian Government, be; held up; to ridicule. 1
Prussia, just .how, is not greatly ciiainorcd of
the principles or practico of Nafoleox, and

The first of these is insefibed “Franco, never

.‘•the !S«n Jnan Island Question, I
yas such a wide-spread feeling of in
dignation in tho United States, and particu-.
larly among tho Democracy of tho Northwest,
in 1846, when it was discovered that alter all
the loud glamor infhvor of the line of 54 de
grees 40; minutes, and the complete demon
stration of our “ eloar and unquestionable title”
to that lino by Mr. Bucuanax, then Secretary
of. State, that tho country will bo disposed to
view with very great displeasure any further
surrender of territorial possessions, to which we
possess a legitimate’ claim, on our Northwest
ern -coast. The truth Is, wq, lure lost too
much of. Oregon already, and the present
dispute forcibly reminds us of the danger
and inconvenience of being hemmed in
by .ft strong rival power, which is dis
posed to , seek territorial aggrandizement
on all possible occasions and pretexts that are
{> resented. Alter many long and tedious
struggles, and half a century of hard diplo
matic, fighting, nearly all our old-standing
questions at issue with Great Britain havo
boon, settled, arid our relations have become,
in-the .main, delightfully harmonious! hut us
the' settlement, of' Oregon .and Washington
Territories, under tho auspices of the Ameri
can Government, and 6f Vancouver’s Island
and tho Frazer-river gold-mine district, under
the auspices of tho British Government, has
progressed, a pow'class of questions has arisen,
which orico more threaten the disruption cl
amicablq relations; and the boundary dispute
haring now assumed so Important an attitude
a's.to have attracted the attention of the whole
civilized world, tho difficulties in tho way of
its a4)usimcrit have been greatly increased.
' It is a putter of comparatively little conse.
quence to Great Britain,' ono way or tho other,
whether San Jnan should belong to her or to
the United States. The question is of much
more importance to this country than to Eng
land; for it is impossible that she should feel
the satne intense interest in a distant colony,
situated some six or seven thousand miles
from the heme Government, as we should, in
a region now claimed as a'part of the do
minions .oi, an organized Territory of tho
United States, and which, in the natural
course of events, would becomo, in a few
years, an integral portion' of the Federal
Union. Under ordinary circumstances, there
fore, English statesmen would havo had no
great difficulty in gracefully surrendering the
claim, or color of a claim, now set up to San
Juan; but it is to bo feared that the very mea
sures nominally taken to secure a speedy ad
justment of this question have only added to
the difficulties of a peaceful solution of
it. Before two men actually commence
a 1 law-suit about any trifling difficulty,
there is generally not much, troublo in
inducing them, by friendly counsel, and
from a regard for their mutual welfare, to
peacefully adjust it on somo equitable basis;
but after they havo fairly employed conflict
ing lawyers and formally appealed to logal re
medies for the enforcement of tlioir real or
supposed rights, tlioir aversion to an amicablo
settlement daily increases, and tho chances aro
that nothing but the intervention of a court
and jury can decide the issue between them.
So in this Son Juan Island affair, sinco four
companies of American troops havo been
landed upon its shores; since Governor Dou
olas has issued his belligerent proclamation
and his warlike message; since tho Colonial
British Legislature has taken up the subject,
and Buncombe orators havo mado their wnr
spcechu upon it; since tho British war-ves
sels and soldiers. have been ordered to tho
disputed locality, to keep a. close watch over
the movements of tho American troops; and
since tho whole question has thus assumed
sufficient importance to attract almost univer
sal attention—not only tho love of territorial
aggrandizement on the part of Great Britain
has been aroused, but also her national prido.
Fromsucha statesman asJLordPAiMEasTON,
who, was always distinguished for tho bitter
ness with which he assailed this country and ad
hered to the ultra view ol Britith interests when
disputes arose between the two nations, It will
bo an extremely difficult task, under present
circumstances, to obtain concessions, however
jnst, which might, at other times, have been
readily accorded to us. The last movement
in relation to this question—sending General
Scott to tho scono of difficulties—is ono
of doubtful policy, and the-couutry will
viewwith some anxiety tho termination of it.
It istrnetliat he is a sort of traditional pacifi
cator ; that ho was sent to South Carolina at
the time of tho nullification movement; that
he went to Maine at tho timo of the
difficulties, in rogard to the Northeastern
boundary; that he went to Mexico, and
while there finally concluded the treaty of
peace by which the war was ended, and that,
In the main, ho acted on tlieso occasions with
exemplary sagacity and prudence; but he has
now reached an advanced age, being about
Seventy-three years old, and, however vigorous
he may be, a duo regard lor the physical wel
fare of one who has so long and so faithfully
served his country should havo induced con
siderable hesitation, on the part of the Ad
ministration, before requesting him to under
take the long, tedious, and neither safe nor
pleasant journey to the distant wilds of Ore
gon, unless some great public interest of para
mount importance imperatively required his
presence there. The fact that ho has gone will
do more than almost any other circumstance to
awaken public attention and arouse additional
feeling, both in this country and in England, in
relation to the,San Juan Island dispute. It does
not always happen' that the parties first to
commence a quarrel reap any advantage from
their celerity, and it would bo a sad thing If
the military oedbpation of San Juan by Ame
rican troops should, from any cause whatever,
prove as unfortunate to our pretensions in that
quarter as the military occupation of a portion
of Piedmont by tho Austrian forces at the
commencement of the late war in Italy re
suited to. tho Emperor of Austria. The exact
nature of the mission of General Scott has not
yet transpired; the object generally assigned
being not to prosecute a war, but to prevent
the outbreak of hostilities, and to enrb the
supposed hostile ardor of General Harney.
It Is scarcely possible that General Scott can,
(as he did in Mexico,) form any treaty on the
subject, because there are no authorized par
ties, in tho region to which he has been
despatched, with whom ho could form a
treaty, the local authorities being merely su
bordinate, and unable to conclude any perma
nent arrangement. Meanwhile, whatever he
may do there, tho moral effect of hjs presence
'will be to magnify the importance of tho own
ership of San Juan, and to Increase the diplo
matic difficulties in the way of determining it;
for, after all, a boundary question ol* this cha
racter can only, be settled by tho- diplomatists
of the two countries, and tho chief yusinoss of
the American and British soldiers is to protect
the rights of the individual citizens of their
respective countries, but at tho same time to
careftilly abstain IVom any overt acts of hosti
lity which would jeopardize the peaceful rela
tions now existing between them.
. Foreign News by the Arabia.
The news by the Arabia, from Liverpool on
tho 10th inst., is almost without interest. The
Zurich Conference is susponded, and a gene,
r&l European Conference may bo expected.
Central Italy appears more and more resolved
not to toko* back their deposed Lorraine-
Hapsburg rulers. Tuscany, Modena, and
Parma desire to be annexed to Piedmont, and
the Romagna, revolted from the sovereignty
of tho Pope/ (who seems resolved to show
fight,) also wishes to be transferred to the
JCing of Sardinia.
. .Congressional Debates*
The New York Herald defines what it means
by reporting, by telegraph, the business done
and speeches mode in Congress: It says that
half of what is published in the Globe << is
perhaps never spoken at all, but is printed from
the manuscript of tho orators. "Wo intend to
have thd speeches sketched as they arc made
on the floors of both houses, sent to us by
lightning, not the speeches as they arc remo
delled and corrected when tho speakers ore more
calm, or it may bo more sober. In fact, we
mean to havo a telegraphic daguerreotype of
all that transpires in Congress to-day, to lay
before our readers next morning, and wo will
do it,” . ..
' There cannot be much doubt that tliepro
raisq here made will be fulfilled, inaugurating
a new era in American journalism. Surely, if
the Washington papers were alive, they could
clo, onthe spot, wbat Mr. Bennett must do,
by telograph, at vast expense.

THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1859.
Senator Douglas on Judge, Black’s
Pamphlet,
In a speeclndelivcred at Wooster, Ohio, on
thri-leth of September, Mr, DotiotAs took up
ttio reply to his rocont article in Harper’s Jlfo
gazint, and discussed it as follows:
“Tho pamphlet la anonymous, buttho New York
Herald says It i« by Jerry Black, the same yrho,
last year, wrote letters to Illinois, advising Demo-'
ornta to voto the Black Republican ticket. Whe
ther he did write it or not he oould not say, but the
oopy ho had soon oame to a friend under Black’s
frank. He said he should not consider it worthy
of & reply had it not contained infamous false
hoods, and aimed to strike down, by such means,
a host of noblo men, now leading the Democratic
oolmnnsin the State oompaignsunaer the banner of
popular sovereignty.
upon'reading the last sentenoo of Black’s re
view “ we are oallod upon to mako a contest, at
onoe Unnecessary-'And'hopeless, with tho judicial
authority of the nation. We object to It. We wilt
not obey Mr. Douglas when ho commands us to ns-|
sault tho Supremo Court of the United States. We
believe the court to be right, and Mr. Douglas
wrong.”
And also the following: “In ease he is ulcotcd
President, ho must see the laws faithfully executed.
Does ho think he oan keep that oath by lighting
the jttdlolary ?”
“Judge Douglas said he invited all to read with
the closest scrutiny tho Harper article, of whioh
this purports to bo a ‘ review,’ and to judgo for
themselves whether this above oharge of assault
ing the judiciary of the country was not an in fa •
mans falsehood. The author hiem full well
that it was an infamous falsehood! To vindi
cate that decision of the Bupreme Court he had
made his most effectual offorts In over one hun
dred and thirty speeches in Illinois last year, he
had every time and everywhere spoken in vindica
tion of the opinion of the court. Ho quoted that
decision to prove that his devotion to the Democra
tic doctrine of popular*" sovereignty was constitu
tional and well founded. The man who wrote that
could not look him in thecyo and repeat tho asser
tion that the Harper article contained any occasion
for snob a oharge.”
Ho again road from Black’s article:
“ He olaims for the Territorial Governments the
right of confiscating property on tho ground that
those Governments are sovereign —having uncon
trollable and independent power over all their in
ternal affairs.”
“ That, too, is false” said he. “I deny that I
over claimed either that a Territory oould confis
cate private property, or that those Governments
are sovereign. It is doubly false. I deny that a
State even can confiscate private property, except
by duo prooessof law. Besides, the writer oould
not but nave known that I had not claimed the
Territories to be sovereign Governments, because
the very article he writes contains extraota from
my letters and reports whioh distinctly dcolaro the
oontrary doctrine, as follows, in my letter to Phi
ladelphia and my report of tho Senate Com
mittee on Territories:
“ Under onr Territorial system, it requires sove
reign power.to ordain and establish Constitutions
and. Governments. While a Territory may, and
should, ttojoy all the rights of self-government, in
obedience to its organic law, it is not a sove
reign rowxn. The sovereignty of a Territory
remains in abeyance, suspended in tho United
States, in trust for a people when they become a
State, and cannot be withdrawn from, the hands
of trustees and vested in a people of a Territory
without the consent of Congress.
“Thiscommittee, in thelr reports, havo always
held that a Territory is not a sovereign power l
that tho sovorelgnty of a Territory is in aboyanco,
suspended In tho United States, in trust for the
people when they become a State; that the United
States, as trustees, cannot be divested of tbo
sovereignty, nor tbo Territory bo invosted with tho
right to assume and exeroise it without the consent
ox Congress. If the proposition he true, that
sovereign power alone can institute Governments,
and that the sovereignty of a Territory is in abey
ance, suspended in too United States, in trust for
tho people when they become a Stato, and that
tbo sovereignty cannot be divested from the hands
of the trusteos without the nssont of Congress, it
follows, as an InevltAblo consequence, that tho
Kansas Legislature did not and could not confor
upon tho Leoompton Convention tho sovereign
power of ordaining a Constitution for the people
of Kansas, in place of tho organic net passed by
Congress.”
“Ho continued : { I am sorry for the necesiity of
alluding to the article, and tho infamous falsehoods
it oout&inß, and would not do bo if it was not, white
aimed nt me, intended to strike at the great Demo
cratic principles which tho gallant standard-bearers
of the Democracy of the West—our noble Ranney,
Dodgo of lowa, Hobart of Wisconsin, and Booker
of Minnesota—aro bearing so fearlessly at tho head
of thoir Democrats hosts. The attempt, however,
to defeat tho success of this great dootrino must
fall. If Now Mexloo knooks at the door of Con
gross with a slavery codo as tho choice of her people,
and Kansas without, no power without thoir terri
tory shall prevent their having the institutions they
have decided upon ns best for their own wnlfare
and prosperity.’ ”
Letter from “Occasional*”
[ Correspondence of Tho Tress.]
Washington, Sept 21,1859.
It may be said of the Administration of tho Fe
deral Government, .paraphrasing a Shaksporian
expression, iu reference to their polioy, persona*
and political,
“That one Minder treads upon another’s heels,
Bo fast they follow.”
Tho last is tho pompous demonstration of Attor
ney General Black in reply to the manifesto of Ste
phen A. Donglas in Harper's Magazine. At the
very raoraont when the Postmaster General was
making a point against the abuse of tho franking
privllego, in reference to mombers of Congress—
which members of Congress have the right to frank
their own speeches and ail their publio docu
ments—tho Attorney General of the United States
appears beforo tho public In tho Attitude of a semi
official combatant, against a Sonator, In a partisan
paper, and, not content with this specimen of bad
taste, sits him down and proceeds to send this po
litical partisan production all over the Union under
his frank!
Now, it is to bo presumed that Postmaster
General Holt did not move against Mr. Con
gressman Covode—•interdicting tho circulation of
Republican documents, unless they wore franked
by Mr. Covodo himself (and not by his agent)—
without consulting tho Cabinot, including tho
Prcsidont, and without taking tho opinion of tho
Attorney General. This reform whb trumpeted
far and wide os a great Administration measure,
and as ono which entitled tho Administration ;to
the commendation of all good men—and, to do
justice to tho troth, It has been geuorally ap
plauded.
In order to show the hollowness of tho motive,
however, which dictated this reform, the law offi.
cer of the Government comes forward, and uses h U
official frank for tho dissemination of an attack
upon a leading Democrat. I understand that steps
art’to be token to ascertain whether this Is not a
much more marked abuse of tho franking privilege
than any which has lately transpirod.
The next blunder is that Judge Black should
havo been selected as the only person proper to re
ply to Mr. Douglas. Judge Douglas, who met
Blaok’s responso at Wooster, Ohio, has taken occa
sion to furnish some reasons why tho Administra
tion should have procured another instrument for
the purpose of demolishing him. I hope you will
publish Judge Douglas’ full rejoinder as soon as it
appears.
Whilo Douglas was fighting hia last noble battlo
of tho Democratic party in Illinois, this same man,
Jadgo Black, was writing letters imploring his
friends to do al! they could to defeat Douglas.
Some of these documents aro said to bo accossiblo;
at any rate tho ohargo has not been, and cannot
be, donled. Tho idoa that tho same individual who
tried to assist the Republicans to dofoat Judge
Douglas in Illinois should now oomo forward to
make a plea in favor of tho South and against
Douglas, is sublimely characteristic of tho blun
dering policy af tho present Administration of the
General Government.
Senator Bigler is among tho visitors in Wash
ington. Tho Sonator has bocomo excessively ner
vous about his re-oloctton, and is vory anxious for
harmony, and all that sort of thing. Ho has been
closeted with the President, but, I presume, will
not speak as frankly to his face as he did whon ho
was last in Pittsburg, and as ho sometimes does in
Clearfield, whore, I understand, ho did not hesi
tate to complain bitterly of certain acts of the Ad
ministration. 1
Mr. Buchanan is excessively alarmed at the
condition of things In Lancaster county, and may
pay a visit to Wheatland beforo tho meeting of
Congress. You will remember that he wrote an
autograph letter to a colored gentleman named
Charles Williams (residing in Lnnonstor), some year
ago or more, in which he desired to havo his razors
sharpened, complimenting the tonsnrlal knight by
assuring him that no one could do this work bet
tor. Tho malcontonts in Lancastor may rest as
sured that if ho should roturn to that plaoo, it will
not only bo to havo his razor sharpened, but to put
a keoner edge on the official guillotino, and all
who do not march up to the Administration plat
form must submit to tho conscquonces.
So General Scott has really agreed to go to tho
far off Pacific coast for tho purposo of aoting in tho
doubleoapaolty of soldier and diplomatist! No
braver man could have been selected. Tho leader
of our armies in tho Mexican war, when I recall
all that he did in that struggle, and remember
how his prowess wns first doubted and then praised
in Europe, and when I recall his illustrious con
duct during the second war with England, on tho
Niagara frontier, I am impollod to bolievo that
nothing but tho gravest issue could havo induced
tbePresidont to ask him to go to tho disputed boun
dary, or could havo porsuaded General Scott to
accept the dangerous office which ho has under
taken at bis titnc of lifo.
General Scott is over seventy, and, although
still vigorous for his age, has undertaken a mo* t
trying And perilous voyage. His mission is evi
dently more of a diplomatic than a military one.
Ho goes less to fight with the sword than with tho
pen. If it woro possible that his errand was in
tended to rally a martial spirit in defonoo of our
olaim to tho island of San Juan, the whole country
would, of course, bo alive with excitement. He
has been selected, therefore, for his capacity In de
pjomnoy. Does President Buchanan remember,
however, that It is not with General Scott as it war
with Richelieu; that with him, the hero of Queens,
town and Lundy’s Lano, “the pen If [not]
mightier than the sword;" and thnt, when ho
gets hold of tho former, it is not wielded with tho
same success, that distinguishes him when he
has tho latter in his hand. I need only refer to
the celebrated passage between Goneral Hoott and
your present townsman, (I believe,) Nicholas P.
Trist, which began with a sort of aorimomous dis
pute, ahd endod with qnlte an affectionate cmhraeo,
the whole resulting In the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo, leaving the Secretary of StAte, then “plain
Jnmes Buchanan," at Washington considerably
nonplussed, and compelling the entire Administra
tion to accept the convention agreed upon by the
high contracting parties on both sides. What
if General Soott, going off to tho neighbor
hood of Columbia river and Vancouver's
Island, fooling the hot'blood o? a Presidential
ambition coursing through his aged veins, should
net upon tho precedent of 1848, white
ho was At tho bond of our armies in Moxioo, and
agroo to such an inferential arrangement with
England, on tho subject now At issue between the
two .Governments, as would place Mr. Buchanan
utterly hors dit combat in his eleventh hour, by
attempting to manufacture capital upon the basis
of a now war with England ? I repeat, tho pen, In
tho hand of the illustrious Commandor-in-Chief of
tho American army is a dangorous weapon, and as
ho could not* havo gouo to our Pacific possessions
without plenipotentiary powers, I will not bo at all
surprised if he flashes bock something that will
rAther convince Mr. Buchanan in rognrd to Oro
gon, os well ns in regard to other things, that ho
who drugs the cup may sometimes bo compelled to
drink it.
The Administration has determined to renew tho
war upon Judgo Douglas iu its most offensive form.
Every oflico-holder suspooted of tho slightest lean
ing towards tho Illinois statesman is to be instant
ly decapitated. Tbo first victim will undoubtedly
bo Hon. James J. Karan, present postmas
ter of Cincinnati, and one of tho proprietors of tho
Cincinnati Enquirer —tho lending Democratic pa
per in Ohio, and one of the most influen
tial journals in tho Northwest, You will

as an enthusiastio friend of Mr. Buchan
an. Ho was at that timo tho Mayor of tho
oity of Cincinnati, having served in Congress
os a Democratic Representative from tho snrno
State, and sustained thou, as now, the highest
character. Ho is not tho editor ot tho Enquirer,
and is, thoreforo, hardly responsible for the opi
nions of that paper, but tho fact that ho is con
nected with it has seated his doom. Occasional.

. Tho unfavorable of tho weather yesterday
evening, whioh literally threw a terrible damp
upon all theatrical performances, will sufficiently
account for our not noticing them. This evening,
it is to bo hoped, will be hotter. At the Walnut

Othello, At tho Arch, Mr. Booth witt porforw tho
characters of Pescara and Petruehio. Christy’s
Mtestrolfl are at Musical Fund Hall. Sanford and
hU troupe at his opera houso In Elove nth street,
and tho now panto mimo at MoDonough’s “Gaie
ties,” which has been greatly attractive, will bo
played tbis'evcnlng and all through tho week.
Mr. Whoatloy aud Mr. J. S. Clarke havo finished
their vory successful Southern ongagomonts,(at Bal
timore and 'Washington,) and aro oxpeotod back in
this city to-morrow or next day. Next woek, we
presume, tho performance of gonuine comedy wilt
be resumed at Arch-street Thcatro, whero it
usually is so vory successful.
The accidental omission of a letter, in our yes
terday’s notice of “Tho Merchant of Venioo,”
might imply that Mr. Dolman gave a wrong pro*
nunciatlon to the name of Passanio. On tho con
trary, this gentleman was correct, ns we usually
find him, but othors mispronounced tho word.
There should bo unanimity in these matters, and it
is not exactly right for tho namo to be called Bas
sanio by some (which is corroct) nnd Bassaynio by
others. That is all.

The ilfnuirri/rofthe9tii publishes a long article ex

“ The Emperor of Austria hail promised to grant con
cessions on n largo scale to Venotia, but requiring, ns a
condition sine nua ttoti, tho return of tho Arch-dukes.
Tho Kinperor Napoleon accepted these conditions.
ft is oasy to conceive that if, after the conclusion of
pence, tho dostmiesof Ilalv hnd tie on entrusted to men
who had more nt heart the future of their common fa
therland. than little partial successes, the aim of their
endeavors would have been todovelore and uotohstruct
the consequences of tbe trontv of Villa-Pranoa; and
Venotia would have been placed in the same position as
Jiiixcmliourg with Holland. v
Tho Archdukes will not be established by foreign forces,
but that portion of the treat" nt Villa Franca not having
been earned out, Auslria will find ho self freed from
allienßagemenls tnk*n m favor of Venetia. Instead of a
poliey of reconciliation nnd jioncn, defiance and hatred
will bo soon tore-appenr. which will entail fresh mis
fortunes. Much, it would appear, m expected from the
Congress, which wo hail with nil our best wishes, but
we strongly doubt that the Congress will attain bet
ter conditions for Itnlv.
it would not he right to rwk from tho great Powers
important concessions, without ollermg equitable coin
pensntionß. War would I* tbe only uay to resolve thn
difficulty. But Italy must be aware that one Power
alone makes war for an idea, nnd that is France, and
Franco has accomplished hermlesum.

The afTnr* »if the Williamsport and Elmira Jtaiiroiul
Company continue to attract a great deal of attention.
In thi* morning’s Preu we gave the proceedings of the
meeting of the director* of the company on the 17th.
pnorto the appointment by the court of Mr. Charles
Macale*ter as receiver. Tu-ilay there were two meet
ing* held, one hr the chattel mortage bondholders, a t
the Washington Buildmc. and the other by the second
’mortgage bondholders at the Exchange.
At the meeting uf the second mortgage bondholders,
Mr. Drexel presided.
Th* following report wa* received and accepted:
*’ The committee of second tnortcare bondholders
report that thex have been entirely unable to reach any
compromise with the first morUato houdhohlors com
mittee, and also that they have ascertained that the road
and all its tntereata has been placed in the
receiver, there to await, intact, tho decisions of the law
as to tho right of the various parries in interest.
“They have not objected to this course, os the near
approach of the dar upon which judgments could !* ol*-
taincd.i tne2»th inat .hind the probable movement of the
first mortgage Umdholrierstotake possession of the road
at once, mode it imperative on the part of the lower in
toresis to place tlm road and its appurtenances in some
safe nosition.
” the committee would have preferredalongertime
wherein to endeav-ar to negotiate, but tu thiswas in
the nature of things quite inipossible. they feel that the
l«*st has been done for tha interests of the second mort
gage bondholders. Them will be time enough wherein
to negotiate or litigate, as they deem best.
“ The committee »"k to We discharged from the fur
ther consideration ot the subiect. and wonld recommend
that the second mortgage bondholders take activo mea
sure* at or.ee to en’iue counsel, and otherwise to HHire
in tha protect'im of their m'eresU.
*' Pome convermational debate ensued, after which the
renort was adopted. Mr. Cooke explained whv ?i*. .Ma
calesterhad been appointed ** receiver. This stea h*d
l»oon taken to protect equally the interest* of all the
stockholders. Tho property passes *nto the hands of tho
receiver, nnd in cane either the first mortgage Wmd
holders. or anv ol the other bondholders. wshtos*ize
tho roml. tlmy will 1>« forced to come in»o coiirt.and show
their claim to the property. This will bring belore the
court all the different cla>ms upon the road, and enable
that authority to decide its ownership oq equitable
term*.
“ it wn* also starei! that no action of a majority of the
Urndhohlers would bind thf m all. Every man owning a
sintte bond has a unlit tosue upon it at anv tinm.
” On motion, the chair ws* directed to appoint an ex
ecutivo comnutteo of tinea to take general charge of
the interests of tho second mortgage bondholders for
present.
“ A committee of three was alio agreed to, to ascertain
the views of th« first mortgage bondholders.
** The chmr will select and announce both these our
niittoos. The meeting then adjourned.
At a meeting of the chattel rnort'aee l^ndlialders Mr.
Hurrison presided, and submitted the following repent,
which was unanimously accepted:
“The eommitte appointed at the meeting of chattel
bondholders, held September 2,1659, would respectfully
report—
” As aoon as we ascertained the condition of the com
pany, and the position occupied bv the holder* of tha
chattel bond*, ave saw the unportanco of inducing the
managers of the company taaaye-u* from useless sacri
fice bv putting us in poasessiarofour orooerty. We
considered that we had *ron* equitable claims upon
them and determined Ao urgtLihem on the board with
out delay. •
“ T he security for our liond* consists of two mortgages
—one a third mortgage upon the road, which we con
soler of little if anv value, as. at the time of its execu
tion. th* rn*d wn* subject to two mortgages, amounting
to $1 700 fOL and on these the arrears of interest are
eons derable; tho oth®r mortgnro. intended for our se
euritv.iauponthe rolling stock of the road, which, nt
the tuno tlie juorlgace avn* executed, cons-sted of
16 locomotive* and tenders, 8 passenger cars. 3 hac* ve

These, wo aro informed, cost $350 000, anil they are
said to be m rooil order.
“Astipulation of the chattel mnrtrare iseop. 8. 9*.
provides that as the company acquired other persona!
properly nnd rnibnt stock, the same should lie set apart
for the »*euntv of the bondholders until such new roll -

shiiuld * nctuallr nnd in good faith have cost the sum of
hvo hundred timusand dollars ’ No new stock has been
acquired, and the security of th« lmnilholtlers lias not
t>ocn increased as was coutempLated when the mortgage
was executed.
“ Bv tiic provision* of the mortgage fp. 13 1 upon de
fault beiiit made by the company m the payment o» anv
coupon attached to the bonds the trustees named in the
jnort f aee have the right to rroeeed to take possewon of
tho chattels for tho beunfitof the Mndiiolders. Default
wa* made on the coupons doe October 1.1853. and May
10, 18A9. The Isindhulrters, at the solicitation of the
managers of the company, and under an assurance tbat
the difficulties which prevented prompt payment was
onlv temporary, surrendered .ho coupons under a spe
cial trust, and Look in lieu thereof what is known ns
'chattel mortga'o serin.’ duo May l-1887, thus healing
the default nnd surrendering their right at that time to
n compliance with the termsof the mortsa'-e.
We thus placed aur*elveg in a position to l»« delayed in
havinv the trustees take possession of the chattels, un
til the 1 st of June, into
“As we learned soon after our appointment that many
of the creditors of tho road were pressing thoir claims
by adverse process, and as it was intimated bv those
representing interests different from ours that some of
the holders o. the bonds secured bv the first and second
mortgages on the road were threatening to raise the
question of the right of the raid to execute a valid
chattel mortgage, wo considered it important to have
them placed in such a position at ottrt that ther would
suffer the least possible diminution in value ponding any
proceedings that might i*c attempted It ia true, the
mortgage was executed under a special act of Assem
bly. (P. L.« 1856. p. 1**7.1 whose terms are clear and ex
plicit, and eminent counsel have civ eu the opinion, m
the most unqualified terms, that our claim on the chat
tels ho* prionty over either execution creditors or the
trustees of cither the first or *econd mortgage*; yet. a»
our pronertv l* of a perishable character, we were de
sirous that it should not be wibieoted to the loss andem
harrn*smcnl usually attendant upon the settlement of
legal fiucttiou*. , . _
“ To mcomplisli tins, wo vr.aitod upon
of the roads, and urged the above consulerations nj*on
tlom. They admitted tho equitable character of our
claim.and said thov hul. bv formal resolution,autho
rized the president of tho road to surrender the chattel*
to the trustee* named in the mortgage, whenever such a
course was nfce*sar» ( »o protect tne interest* of the
chattel bondholder* T'liov ntthosamo time expressed
tho hope that sumo arrangement would bo made by the
other interest*, whereby Die use of the chattels would
1)0 required on tlio road, .and ns the surrender to the trus
tee* would involve a sale ot the chattel*, tin* use might
thnsb* h*«t to the parties m po*s?Mion of the ro*d.
They declined any in the matter, until it
wasneeessan to protect our interests. We a*scnted to
tho justice of this position, nnd believing that thn pre
semiisoof the chatte s by the parties who might take
povsession of tlio road, and their future sale to anv new
organization, would l»e the most judicious course for tho
bondholder*, wn expressed our willingness to assent to
any plan which would secure to our trustees or our re
iiresentative the possession of the chattels so onto avoid
loss ami hhtation.
“ On tins basis we took part in the subsequent nego
tiations, which were unsuccessful, for reasons bevoml
the control n» vour committee. As the nerotiatiom
were likely to fad. and as many of the t reddor* of the
road wero pressing their claims, which will ripen into
nnlgiucnta on the 21th instant, it was deemed prudent by
tin tap having control of the road to prevent it from Lung
torn topieces bv a timely application to the Supreme
Court for such relief os the law allow* insnehcas**.
At the instance of creditor, who hold* » portjonol
each separate class of debt* due bv tho comr-anv, the
court on Saturday last madn an ortler which we aread
visodvvill prevent useless sacrifice ol the interests of
anv one.
“ T’nder tliia order, and bv appointment from the Bu
prome Court. Charle* Macalester. E«q- after having
given bond, with surety in the sum of $5OOO, ha*
taken possession ot the road, it* property and rnvn
ohises. to hold the same for the protection of the rights
nnd interest* of all parties. He has already «ent proper
agent*tohav o the ciiattels properlv marked nnd de*uua
ted so tJmt they may be protected from levy and salo un
dor exocntion. Tho arrears due for vv ages and labor are
to l*e paid from tho recoipt* of the road and after the ne
cessary expenditures to keep the nropertv, real ami per
sonal. in eood order and repair, the surplus will b« re
tained unMl bv order ot court an equitable division is
made. Within eixtv d vys he will file an inventory of ad
property which hn* come into his possession, and render
to court a monthly account of receipts and expendi
tures. t „
“By this arrangement vre believe that the waste or
property nnd the sacrifice of interests which would hare
been inevitable without some such provision will bo
prevented. Tuno can thus be gained for amicable ar
rangement. while the legal rigttsdf. all will be trulls
tnrl«d. Had your commiltee beca called upon todeoig
nate a person to whom we would entrust the care ornor
chattels until are cm proceed under oar tperttere, they
could have named no one more acceptable than the pre
sent receiver.
“In conclusion, your committee nould recommend
that the Imndholderscontinae to unite inthe protection
of their mte*e*U, and that tbe present eomroittoe be
continued, v, ith authority to call a meeting of the lrt*d
holders whenever it mar be »»***s»ar7 to take thrfinite

The Pittsburg papers give full re porta of tbe decision
oT Judge McCandless in the case of Oclncka k Co. vs.
tlie Mavnr, aldermen, arid citiisas of Pittsburg* which
we briefly noticed in thi* mornsnx’a Prttt.
The plamtifl'obtained judgment arainst theeityfxW

emt Tmirt. and a short time since an execution was
issued to the manthal. who seized 00 tbe city pas stock,
and threatened to *eU the same mi’ess the rlxim was
satisfied. An application was to Judge MeCand
le«s to set the lew aside as illegal, and the cimrt
gave its decision in the matter, refiling the mottos, and
ordering the aale to so on.
The opinion state* that—
“l hi* cnee was tried at the late term of the C;rctJ*t
Court, a verdict rendered in favor of tbe plaiatifis- and
ludgment entered on the aidav ofMaj last. Defendactc

dred end fiflv-six share*of the capiul storkoftbe Pitts
burg Gas Companv. oar ed by defendants, and held In
their name* on the nooks of the corporation.
“ An application is now made 10 this coon to w»t aside
the execution and ths levy, upon the groaiul that the
wntofA./a is n»t the proper remsdv. and will net lie
agninat a mvnicipal corporation; and that, under the
l«w of the State recornized in this conrt. the process of
fi. fa. is not the proper one for tbe seizure and sale of
corporation stock* held by the defendant*.
“The court decides 6rst. that the Law of Aeril 15- IAM*
was pse«ed to reined* the defect thst had previous!* ex

In this opinion the court concurs.”
Aa reraoHn* the question, how far tbe practice is the
