" Mr. fheynej entered upon the service of the
Society at I time when, in the opinion of many of
its staunchest friends, Its affairs were hopelessly
embarrassed, and when'disaster and dismay were
nigh . Under the sound business
volley which be suggested, and which' be so ably
administered, the institution safely weathered the
storm, and has been piloted into smooth and tran
quil waters. There are, it is believed, few in
stances on mord, in which a business of wish ex
tent,' and so seriously deranged, has in so short a
time been restored to such entire Soundness, and
been reinstated in even more than pristine vigor.
The American Sunday-School Union, in its best
former years, never did so large or healthful a
badness as it Is doing at this present time. We
feel that we ere but spitting the universal senti
ment of those well antedated with its affairs
when we say that for this most propitious, reined

to the *amity, the enemy, and th e general bust-

as the only true friends of conservative liberty, and ho , .
had no higher ambition than to have himself classed'
with the contemned Agrarians.
Mr. WADE advocated his motion to take up the,
Hoare homestead bill, which be showed to be more
liberal in its movisions than the Sedate. MIL „Hri,
explained the differences between the tom bills. Un-,
der the Senate bill very little land worth eterthihs would!

as insincere and_demag ng ognicial. He wanted to hold on to
the canaille of Neer Eland byethe cry of free homes
for tree men, fearful that. under tee pressure of
starvation, they would desert him and his party. The
Neviator from New Hampshire had thanked God that'
these strikes had taken same, but we never before had
heard God thanked on the other side of the Chamber,
Incept in connection with the slavery issue. He hoped .
the etmatowixi d adhere to Its own bill.
Mr. JOHNlfiref,of Tennessee, was pained to see a
party direction given to tt e consideration of thillniea-'
sure. Reran a great reassure, being for the elevation of
man, and the extension of civilisation. It was well
known that the Rpm" bill could not mute this body, and
the true friends of tits homestead principle should take
that which they could get. In 1015. when it was intro ;
dined, it Wee not a party measure, and passed the House
by a vote of two-thirds. It should be acted upon in the
same spirit now, and kept out of the contentions of
1 11 ' 7..w•ADE withdrew his motion.
Mr. WIGFALL, of Texas, said thathe could not agree
not to retard this as a party question; involving, as it
did, the power of the Government, it must give rise to a
party Mime. I f this Government was eleemosynary In Its
character; it - was estebbabed to provide Mr the halt;

poietion was to give homes to the homeless . Now, if tt
could lands,why not give money ? If it were togive lends
he ebottld propose to gem each man $lO O O in cash,
and pay him mileage to come here, and, if these
lands are given, be would prprose to give them
negroes to work them. He thought three would
be enough—one woman, one man, and onochill.
with the prospect of a large increase. [Laughter.]
Mr. Wigfall then went into an examination of the
powers' of the Federal Government, and contended
that, as the trustees of the sovereign States, we have
no right to vote away lands. In the coarse of his re
marks he said it was nonsense to talk of a State cern:
nutting Ramon; the thing was impossible., He owed
allegiance to the State or Texas. which, conjointly with
"the , other States, exercised the same portion et sore;
reign power. and whenever she declared that the
General Government was no longer her agent, then it
was his defy lolreturn to his State, and if he should be
captured fighting under the flag of the Lone otter, under
the law 12Enatip_ot he could not be treated p a a traitor.
Mr. JOHNSON • of '1 ennesses, remarked that there
os
were peedents . for the,polioy propared in the hill.
Ber.WIGFALL wee sorry to hear any Democrat re
fer to precedents. If tbey are acoepted, banks, tariff,
and internal improvements. and so forth could be juste,
fled. He then denounced the policy of New England,
which by Federal legislation had got rich and kept the
other sections poor. He thought nothing better better could
occur than a dissolution of the Onion. New Eneland
would then beg the South to come back. Her spindles
would cease to turn, and her ships , rot at the
wharvese; her sailor, and her operatives turned
out to starve. would burn and steal. He also drew
a- Otters o a deceived and infuriated people
bearing on poles the heeds of Seward and Hale.
If these men olds' knew that the South was in earliest
they would keep quiet. They were not men to coin
their hearts into drachms. He denied that these threat"
were a there farce—the day of farces had gone by. He
would apeakhis mind freely, and say that he believed
that no Black Republican ever could be inaugurated
President. the Northern men talked of subduing the
South. He believed that a Southern army would winter
in Boston before a Northern one could reach Texas,
He would like to know bow they were going to
take the South. Let them look around the cham
ber, they would see. on the Republican side,
but one man who ever sew the fiaelitng of a
gun, while he partioularmed members on the Demo
cratic side who had rendered signal military services.
The military chest was a matter of the first considera
tion in war. Where would the North act money ? The
South cog send out the cotton, tobacco, ?co., in the
bottoms which would carry them oheepest. Where
could the Senator from Rbodelsland get money for kis
calico? • He might talk of If ockading the Southern Pods,
but these officers wenld want money and where oou'd
they get it ? Cotton Wu king, and without it Queen
iotoriali crown was not safe. rhe Union was nothing
more than a compact between confederates, whichre

He said that tbe,ancestors of the New Englanders went
to Holland, bat thehe Dutch would not let them perse
cute any , body, y came to the North, and drove out
Heger Sherman and the Baptista, and sensed themselves
over that country. Providence having macadamized
that country, they thought it useless to dig for the soil,
and they have emee lived MT of their neighbors. He
went into .an argument to show that the - slave States,
properly speaking. were the only free etas' . In the
orthevey free negro was the equal of the white man,
while in Texas you could not find a white man willing
to black mid wear livery. Be then attacked Mr. Hale'e
theory of agrerianiani, and read Cicero in opposition
thereto. •
Mr. HALE. The extract the Senator is reading Is one
of the many libels uttered against the Agrarians. from
the time of Cicero to the present. If he will refer to
Lieber and otherodern .historiane, he will find these
old fallacies explod ed.
Mr. INIGFALI... That is a personal affair between
the Senator from New Hampshire and Cicero.. [Great

Mr. DOEfiL, of Miuouri, made a few remarks on the

local lawn throu g h an elective assembly. If the BOUSB

my, they would ad, for they would not strike at the

that an organised Territory derives ifs power to legis

would protect not only the inhabitants of Utah, but the

Just as the Democratic party is beginning to to.
cover frog' the disastrous policy which has been
pursued for the last few years—that of the wire•
pullers and tricksters trying to forestall public
opinion and seeking to force the sturdy masses to
carry out their bargains and behests—Just after the
people have defeated the politicians at Reading,
and secured a nomination whioh we can aU enthu
siastioallY support, another attempt is about to be
made to compel the rank and Ale to obey the com
mands and march to the orders of the self-consti
tuted and selfisb men who call themselves the
leaders of the Democratic party.
It is perfectly well known that until within a
recent period Mr. Van: had been striving to ob
tain the nomination for Mayor. It is alto well
known that Mr. J6lin Robbins, Jr., about a mon th
since, wrote a letter, which was published at the
time, in whioh ho peremptorily declined to bo a
candidate.
Within a few days Mr. Vans has withdrawn
from tho field, and Mr. Robbins has his placards
posted through the city that ho wants the nomi-
nation.
This is ourrontly, and no doubt correctly, stated
to be the result of a]bargaitt, by whioh the friends
of Mr. Vaux (or at least such of them as aro plia
ble) are to support Mr. Robbins for Mayor, and
Mr. Robbins' friends in return are to lend their
aid to give Mr. Van:. the nomination for State
&pater, from the First district, this fall, and to
assist him afterwards in obtaining the office bf
United States Senator, to whioh Mr. Robbins has
long wired. The welfare of the city is not
thought of; the voters are not consulted ; their
opinion is not asked—their duty is, without mur
muring, to go to the delegate elootion on Monday
evening, and to the polls in May, and carry out the
first part of the bargain which their routers have
negotiated for them.
I appeal to the thousandewho love out party for
its principles, and despise the creatures who seek
to control its organization. I call on every lover
of Philadelphia to give his aid to defeat the
schemes of those who look on the masses as the
mere thole to do their work, and who have no other
aim than under the cloak of Demooraoy to die.
guise their own mean, if not dishonorable, purposes.
I have no pet for-Mayor. All the gentlemen
named are of high personal character, and in toy
choice I shall only be governed by what I may
conceive to be for the prosperity of oar beautiful
city, and the best interests of the Democratic
party. DYE Or TIM PEOPLE.

the city. which had been melded in SUCK/ damages, on
account of having a defective title
Mr. Potter thought it would be unwise t.) adopt the
proviso offered by hlr. hillier, because it would dater
persons front taking leases of the hind. lie thought the
ineertion of such a proviso implied that the city had LO
title to lands which they Were offering to lease.
Mr. Winter ounieided with the view taken by Mr'
Potter, and thought it would be badpolicy to yut any
such proviso into the ordinance. He did not believe the
heirs of Stephen Girard ever could recover the lands
retorted to, any more than the, could the houses in
Brown street, Chestnut street, and other localities, all
of which had been acquired in the same way.
Mr. Ingham thought such a proviso would be ,very
proper. He had been told br a onvanor that cer
tain pantie, were in possession of SI brief of title, which
had been examined by such men ad Judges Read and
Mallory, who had pronounced it good, and conveying a
good and sufficient title to the heirs of Stephen Girard
to the lands in question. The parties naving the brief
proposed avortat co u nselw money upon it, and had
minent a share in the 'proceeds if
they would prosecute the case to a 1111000331 . 111 Issue.
Under these circumstances, tie did not think it prudent
to lease the Wide without such a proviso until the title
was permanently settled.
Mr. Derai,e approved, in a measure, of the previa°.
but thought it beet not to Proceed in the leasing of the
land until the title of the oily to the ground had been
permanently established.

The excitement in the neighborhood of Felton mar

A. Johnson lies, and upon which so terrible a tratedy was
enacted, to got a glimpse of the floating slaughter house
Tho first theory, that there had been noth.ng but antic
oident on board the reseal, has been entirely disproved.
That one of the most lout. cold-bloodedmrames ever
recorded as occurring in tna neighborhood of New York
has been accomplished, tnero does not seem to be
particle ol doubt.
Captain Weed bag placed a force of policemen on
hoard the s OOP, in order to prevent the excited crowd
from forcing their way on board. and none are allowed
to pees the guards but privileged persons. All along
the men, on both sides of the slip, on the oyster boats
In the slips. and the shies lying in the neighborhood, are
morbidly curio is people, who seem satisfied at getting
even the slightest slanoe at the scene of tais most ter
rible murder. The excitement bide fair to rival that

the sltry was. excepting OLIO of the owners, and to-day
he fu int Mei; the name of John Williams, baying hoard

The sloop left Now lork for Bayport. and stopped
there far repairs and ballast. sailing again on Sunday
night for Virginia. The murder must have been com

action of the New York I.,rialature upon the toll bill
had considerably depieued the New York market, by
depressing the leading security, Central Railroad stock.
To-day, however, at Albany, a disagreement between
the two houses of the Legislature gives prospect of the
defeat of the toll In% and New York Central Railroad
stock race in the market, carrying all the list with it. to
a greater or It,, extent. The telegraphic reports of this
