about 2,600 engravings on steel and wood. This
magnifieentadition was published, sixteen years

and, the edition being small, very few copies re-
Main on sale in England. Peterson's price for the

have been hissed off the stage. The talk in the lobbies
was TM indignnet against his contemptible and eaten

We have greetrtomitet for the ability generally exhi

accept it es an "arbiter elegentierum." At the beet.
the bouquet-flinging is an episode in the evening's per

which Brignoll strictly adhered, is for the gentleman,
who halide one castairice, to pick up One bouquet, and

Pick (Ili the remainder. And, indeed, he had done so,
we Jibe - 004On PreolOtis nights. A tenor is not expected
to hei. tempt. Biitnolt fulfilled the requiremente of

Mr. Lausanse, of Wisconsin, sent to the Clerk',,
table a copy of the Milwaukee Free Democrat,
from which:were read the proceedings of a meeting
purporting to have been held by German adopted
citizens, at which sympathy was expressed for John
Brown, and ho was characterized as a noble-heart
ed, resolute man, lit to be held up lit e other cham
pions of freedom for the imitation of mankind, and
resolutions were adopted according with these sen
timents and declaring that adopted citizens -are
hostile to tyranny of everykind, including the it
stitutlon of slavery.
Mr. VAISHIBBB remarked that if any of his ool
leagues did not recognise that paper as a Republi
can organ, let them say, so. At his request, an
editorial from the came paper las read, in spirit with
the proceedings bf the meeting. Be was natiefled
that an honorable Senator from Wisconsin (Mr.
Doolittle) was mistaken when he said there was no
newspaper in that State which supported or sus

which he had Jest referred had not been brought

bee) needed not to be informed, all he bad been
by the leading German citizens of Wit:mold, that
soh were not their opinions. He had been in
the midst , of them for fourteen years, and could
say that there were no more intelligent; loyal, pa
triotio men living on the soil of the United
States—sternly hostile to fanaticism, to sentiments
of disunion and war on the South. He had felt It•
to be his duty to hurl back this accusation against
that part of -Wisconsin be bad the honor to repre
sent. Ile did not expect to say one word' to the
gentlemen upon the other side to load them to
change their course, but wished to appeal to the
South Americans and anti-Lecempton Democrats
to join in preventing the election of a Republican
candidate for Speaker. He was an anti-Lecompton
' Democrat when that was a living issue, but when
any man takes a stand outside of his party
organization, yet claims to represent its prinel- ,
pies, he does violence to the principle of hie
party. The Democrats in Wisooniin almost unani
mously took ground against the Leoompton policy
of the Administration ; but from the day the
English bill was ,adopted, they considered this as
a past issue, and there is now no distinotion be.
tween Democrats in that State. In view of the
approaching Presidential election, of 1880,, they
could not afford to throw away time on past issues ;
when there are errors in the party, the beet way is
not tejoin the Opposition, but stay inside the party
and lot their voices be beard. He was surprised
to hoar gentlemen charging the present Admini
stration with corruption and' extravagance. He
thought the President entitled to all praise. No
man should visit his mere personal slights on hie
party, because he might be omitted In the
paltry distribution of a Federal office They all
wee that the Republican organization of the
North is purely sectional. The inevitable result
of the success of any sectional party In this country
must be the rupture of the Union. This was the
very state of affairs that Washington warned us
against in his farewell address; A great party
based on a geographical line. He thought Mr.
leward'a remarks respecting the "irrepressible
conflict" originated in his ambition to reach the
Presidential chair, and he thought the best way to
reach it was to appeal to sectional passions and
prejudices. He never had any doubt that the raid
of John Brown was the legitimate result of the
teachings .of the extreme wing of the Reublican
party of the North—the teachings of the N ew York
Tribune, Wendell Phillips, and others.
He had, heretofore, thought that a dissolution of
the Union was impossible ' but he ventured to say
that if Northern men persist in their course and
the South react against the North the dissolution
of the Union is not a question of time, but may be
here now, and the fast overt sot may produce the
calamity. He reviewed Mr. Seward's irrepressi
ble conflict" doctrine. He had never heard on this
floor or on the stump the Republicans denouncing
Abolition sentiments. It was his opinion that the
conflict was not' between different kinds of labor,
but between the races of men. He did not believe
in a unity of the human race. If the slaves were
sot free, whet would be done with them? The
North don't want them.
As soon asbir. Larrabee ceased speaking, there
was a general cry of " Mr. Clerk !"
Onow ' of Pennsylvania, moved that a vote
be taken for Speaker.
Mr. SISSOLBTON, of Mississippi, claimed the floor,
which be however yielded to - allow a vote to be
taken.
The roll was then called, and the House pro
ceeded to the ninth ballot for Speaker.
The following was the result:

WOULD TIM SOOTII PROFIT DT Dim:lox I—A
correspondent of the National Iniolligencer puts
the question of profit and loss to the South from
disunion in a very clear light. Himself a slave
holder, and " a sufferer as much by losses from
proximity to Mason & Dixon's line, as any man
South of it," he says:
" Yet for all this I am utterly unable to see that
we of the South will at all better ourselves by re
nouncing altogether' our connection with the
North. Shall we be removed a hair's-breadth
further from the North? Shall no cease to hear
the ravings of madmen or tint delusions of fanati
cism? Shall we, ses aliens and foreigners, have a
better claim upon the conservative element still
existing at the North than we now have as mem
bers and brethren of the same Confederacy? Every
ono of these interrogatories MOst be answered in
the negative.
What, then, do wo gain? WV, directly in the
teeth of the true but expressive and oomprehensive
sentiment recently attributed in your columns to
the famous Talleyrand, namely, Happy is the
nation without frontiers,' we gain an immense
boundary, subjeot at all times and at all places to
=uclt forays as old Ossawatoulfellrown has recently
inaugurated at Harper's Ferry, and with no Penn
sylvania Judge or Governor to hold a merely KW
wcted fugitive, to give a sister Commonwealth time
to identify him, as recently woo the case with the
fugitive Hazlett, arrested at Carlisle. Is such an
act as this to weigh nothing or ho acoOunted us no
compensation for the wild ravings of deluded men
and women, led on and encouraged by that most
dangerous of all mon, the merely ambitious politi
eel demagogue ? Unhappily, the South as well as
the North has its full share of this class of men."

writ of habeas corpus in Krafts' case for argon occu
pied the best portion of the day in the Court of Quarter
Sessions. The startling details of this whole matter
have recently been made familiar to our readers. In
addition to what we have heretofore puldished, we have
learned that extensive preparations had been made for
setting fire to Kralts' store also. The Fire Marshal found
under the cellar stairs a ten gallop can of camphene, the
bottom of which had been pierced, letting the fluid run
out over a pile of wood and shavings all ready to apply
the match. From this it would appear that after firing
the tiviery and seeing its destruction iaevitable, it was
Krafts intention to fire the store also. and tints bag
some $7.01:0 insurance upon property. worth less than
83.000. Krafts was to have been married in a few ems
to a German lady of great respectability and possessing
some property.
Tne lady is determined, in cane limits escapes from
conviction, to marry him, but if found guilty, is then
wil lin • to give him up and say amen to his sentence.
Moreover, she has aided him in obtaining counsel. and
is determined that if convicted it shall not be because
be has wit had every opportunity to clear himself. The
lady, however, will not receive min unless he is hono•
rably acquitted.
Meantime Krafts is play ing a queer game with his
late parser. Mr. Teubner, and though he had but 4200
when he came Into the concern, demands Steal before
he will relinquish hie claim In the concern, in addition
to a hall interest in the book accounts. Nis trial will

Willuun Keating, the head and front of the Schuyl

The next ease is Moses Lowther, another terror to
the co- inanity. Lowther was for a long time the head
and front fit a band of ruffian, in the lower part of the
city, called garoters. He has been arraigned on charges
of larceny. rape, riot, highway robbery, and arena. He
was convicted at last of the latter offence through the

among the people, and that the free people of the
North are not to be Intimidated by such idle threats ;
we are not yet reduced to the degraded condition
of the plantation slaves. We repeat again, that if
the Administration wishes to prevent the election
of a Republican Speaker, let It take the only way
in which it can be Bono—tell its friends Logo for an
anti-Lecompton Democrat. If this Is refused, and
it shall be found that no candidate can get a majo
rity of all the votes, there' will be no other way of
organizing the House, and going on with the Go
vernment, but to do as they did in 1849, when
Howell Cobb, now Secretary of the Treasury, was
elected Speaker, and again in 1815, when Banks
was elected—adopt a resolution that the candidate
having the greatest number of votes shall be
elected. Should a Republican then bo elected,
the whole responsibility will rest upon the Admin
istration,"
