sellus in oar own market, will produce it upon
our wharves at` so much leas. To protect our
own industry against this hostility we must add
- the - difference , - of these values to that -of

of the raw material, of the labor, of the trans

'of the English and American product-is best ox.
pressed and grasped when expressed as so
much per cent. So far the use of values and
per cents is safe and necessary. In the ab
stract
- process of assessing the duty they serve,
and render all the service they can be trusted
with. When the duty is to be levied it must
be thrown into specifies—so.tnuch money on the
pound, yard; cubic or square foot, or number,
as will best describe and identify the article to
be reached. It might be said that here ad
vaterems are. he rule ot . assessing, and ape
. cities the rule of levying the duty; but it is the
safest never to trust a phrase that is accus
tomed to take the bit in its teeth and run away
with the writer. ',
The examples of England and France, in
this respect, are so striking and so significant
that we will close this article with a brief
statement of them. The French tariff has
above fifteen hundred articles in its schedules.
Of these, but twenty are under ad valorems,
and they are such as game and poultry, clock
and watch works, new clothing, household
linen, artificial flowers, furniture, optical and
nautical instruments, laces and millinery.
Everything else is weighed, measured, or
counted, and in very few instances aro arti
cles of the same description, classified by their
respective, values, however variant.
Under the English tariff twenty millions of
pounds sterling are raised from imports - . Of
this sum but two hundred and eighty thousand
pounds by ad valorems; or less than one and
a half per cent. of the whole. Yet to get rid
of this fag-end of the nuisance Parliament lip
pointed a commission to inquire and report a
remedy. They sat long enough, and worked
'attentively enough, to report about 1500 pages,
Bvo, of testimony taken on the subject from
alt sorts of dealers, manufacturers, and im
porters. They expUrgated the schedules to
the utmost of their ability; among other de
vices, putting artificial flowers under a specific
duty by, charging them by the cubic foot, and
no allowance for vacancy in the packages.

WASUISOTON, May 29, 1860
Mr. Briolumen's rumored appointment of Jobe
Appleton as American minister to the Hussien
Court was not unexpected. No one can deny that
Mr; Appleton is a man of ability, or that be will
make a' fair representative of Ms country in a
foreign lend. He is aiwost the only one of Mr.
Buchanan's Original friends who has not
broken with the President, or who dose
not secretly distrust and despise that 'thigh
functionary."' 'Thine was a deep philosophy in
Appleton's adherence r

their beam upon him. To create jealousies be
tween then gentlemen and the Executive was the
first studied effort of Appleton. To pretend friend
diip to their (faces only to.obtaln their confidenee,
that he might total what gossip he could gather,
in broken doses, to his patron—to assist in every
little intrigue against them —to accept their
hospitalities that he might get an insight into
their !saline; pad by misrepresenting them feel
ings excite dissensione and heart-buntings—this
was not only the pious li/ultimo of John Appleton
directly after the Presidential election ill 1856, but
was persevered In up to the moment when he look
ed upon his work es mfoomplished in the complete
rupture between Mr. Buchanan and his friends,
and the subsequent demoralization of his Adminis
tration and the Democratic party. k'or thesiser
.
vices be le about to be compensated anew—
not, indeed, that be is in need of money, for he has_
no doubt prospered well through the genial and
generous aid of Mr. Wendell. In regard to money
Appleton is a true Yankee. He scents a specu
lation from afar, and loves a dollar with rare unc
tion. Careful of what he makes, 'native in his
expenditures, and severely economical, he ought
to be, and doubtless is, a very rinb man. lie
could afford to go to St. Petersburg and. live in
splendid style; or he might retire upon what he
has accumulated. But Appleton is not only ex
tremely fond of money ; he likes office, end has I
ever been a pisoe-men or a pleee.seeker. I have
no doubt that he will prove to be an excellent
minister; and that he will return a richer, if not a
better man.
Another appointment is announeed to-day.
Henry M.' Phillips, of Philadelphia, delegate to
Charleston, and eg•Represantative from the Spring
Garden district, Is offered the important post of
oommindoner to adjust the elaima under the late
convention with Paraguay. It was tendered to
John Van Buren, and refused, and the President
was resolved, not alone to honor another old and
recant reviler, but to offer It to one whose record
is the rankest in thh(respeot. Mr. Phillips has a
double, nay a treble,,elsim upon James Buchanan.
He has been the most violent and active enemy be
ever had, not even excepting John Hamilton or
Prtutois T. Grand. This is claim first. Ho de
serted the Democratic creed in the Lecomp
ton struggle, after pledging himself to be
true, and for this was ingloriously defeated.
This is claim Second. And he was a dole
gate to the Charleston Convention, and while
there co-operated with the Secessionists in their
fiendish warfare upon Douglas, and he will go to
Baltimore to aid, if hican, in completing the oil%
tastrophe of the Democratic party. This is claim
third. Such are the titles to Presidential confi
dence. Such the qualities that open and warm the
heart of James Buchanan : years of hatred of his
person and his character, deliberate betrayal of
pledge and principle, and open communion with
the sworn foes, of the union , outweigh the at
taohteent of the old friend, the heroic conslsteney of
the sound Democrat, and the patriotic efforts of the
defender of the Union.
The enemies of Judge Douglas at last begin to
realize the ruin they have wrought, and more than
one would gladly retrace hie steps if that were pos
sible. They supposed the Demooratio party would
submit to any outrage however monstrous ; but the
oup of forbearance has finally ran over, and those
who have sowed the wind are terrified at the pre
sent and palpable feet that they must reap the
whirlwind. Some of them are rendered desperate,
and, finding no pardon for them in the future, re
solve to advanee on their record, and to persevere
in their prosoriptions. This clue look, to disunion
as their only refuge from the wrath of the party
they have labored to destroy. I believe that the
men in this category are bent upon breaking up
this Confederate,' if they can. They have eympa•
this* not only in the South, but on the Pacific
coast, and oontemplate a division of the itepublio,
by which California and Oregon are to be mutated
in setting up an independent Government, in re•
turn for their aid in the establishment of a South
ern Coifederacy. Jo Louse's telegraph' to the Ore
gon delegates to go out of the Charleston Conven
tion was a good indication of his sympathy with
this programme. " OCCASIONAL.

Letter from
,d4Eiek
Woitespondenoti of Tbo rsem
The report of the soled ooMtnitteada the lieu
mas land scheme charges made by the parishes of
Ascension and Iberville, Louisiana; and the press
of the country, against the Louisiana Senators, wee
up to-day. The report made by Toombs room
mends the repeal of the act of 1858. The terrible
.presence of the sowepapere on Messrs, Slidell and
in'ieferenoe . tO legislatiob of ittbid;
settling the land titles of Louisiana, ,Squeesed out
of both the Senators speeches explanatory of their
positiod. Slidell, as is his wont, refused to vindi
cate himself, but delivered a olear and brief writ•
ten statement. Ile complimented himself on the
forbearance which would not permit him to agitate
a question by which he would be the sufferer; and
denied that ide;eloquent colleague smuggled the re
solution of 1858 through Congress to anbeerve his
(Slidell% interests. As for the amount involved
—only a million or so—Senator Slidell laughed at
it. What wee it, that it should. force him froui hie
senatorial purity? What was a million or two
when compared with the Senator's idea of his own
self-respect ? - Nothing !
The benign and. self-eomplaeent Senates was it
martyr. Ho-was a viotim to Miles Taylor and
Miles' myrmidons on the ,newspaper press. He
was a gullible Gulliver impaled on the pens of the
literary Lilliputians. Mieldevons Miles ! Tanta
lising Taylor ! Why wilt thou league to take down
thy eolleague in the Upper House? He who is a
model of Christian effulgence—a perfect bouquet
of Christian virtues—a oataraot of oonsolentious
nese : he whose humility before men Is as much
above competition as is his temptation before mil
lions. But there is no fathoming the motives of
men who cannot or will not believe in the upright
ness of suoh Benittore.
Senator Benjamin, being unlike the accomplish
ed Count Do Grammont whci was, as :Anthony
Hamilton tells na, ,
" A sworn foe of all long epeeohirs,7,
made a very elaborate explanation, dellaltleri;
vindication, of the aot (and himself), against
which the select committee bad reported. Ms
speech was a perfect blase of colonial history,
chronology, geography, topography, variegated
with jets of Spanish law, French law, land law,
the law of custom, and the law of levees. -It was
plausible to a miracle ; and it would be a matter
of mush astonishment if the chubby little col
league of the serene and, snowy John could not
prove that black was white, or the still more CM
milt problem touching the green•cheesey glaterigl
of which the moon is said, by some, to be made.
Ile has a tongue of silver and a face of brass. A
mixture of those metals is said to produce a fa._
moos composition from which bells are manufac
tured; and in the present instance the
" Tintumbulation that so mtisioally wells,"
sutrtolently attests the eloquent composition of the
tusks Senator from Louisiana.
His argument, to be cure, was intricate, and migb
appear confused to a person not having a map be
fore him, but it had all the regularity and delica
ey of an elaborate cobweb. It was equally beau
tiful as a work of art ; for the Senator span himself
out with a technical precision and regular unrest
which commanded the admiration of those who
probably will not fall into his magnifieent web, if•
they fall into it they will fall through it and smash
up the gossamer glories of this busy afternoon.
Senator Toombs evidently is ready to leap into
it, and if it can withstand the momentum of his
impulsive mind as well as the weight of his body,
many, no doubt, will be captivated by the Houmas
flag, and the good people, residents and ownerifof
Ascension and Iberville, will be put hors do combat
by the simple eloponce of Mr. Senator Benjamin.
Toombs has ,inst now made a spring and a bound
and gone right through poor lienjamin's cobweb,
just as Boyars goes through a tissue-paper balloon.
He boldly stated be should do justice between man
and man, and the vehemence with which he ex
posed the fallacious statements of Benjamin
showed the imperative necessity he felt of defend
ing the people who bad memorialized Congress on
the subject. Ile showed that theplauslble Senator
from Louisiana had talked round the subject, but
bed totally failed to touch the points of the report
or to slum that justice had been 'done to the par
ties for whose rights the luvestiption was Insti
tuted.
The " Jape," as the Japanese aro now familiarly
called by the ever-familiar and progressive "Yan
kee," have bad a now sensation, that is the mien
tido portion of the Embassy. Spalding, the inde
fatigable glueman of your city, has bad an inter
view with the Japanese sevens and philosophers.
He presented them with some bottles of his Pre
pared Glue, and interested them very much with
his illustrations of the use to which the contents of
his magical bottle may be put. Under the wipe of
hie brush, brr k rri 1,7,4 and gimoracks reappeared

would myselfsupport any good Union man of the

tion in favor of those minorities of Council who
have expressed their willingness to obey the

looks to every representative of the corporation.

Pending the consideration of the subject, the
Post °Moe dedielenoy bill was taken up.
Mr. Pasnen, of Maryland, farther explained its
provisions.
On motion of Mr. lluxixa, of Virginia, the bill
was laid aside, in order to enable Mr. islidell, of
Louisiana, to make a personal explanation in regard
to his alleged interest in the Holmes land-grant
bill. He recited the fasts and refuted the charges
preferred against him.
Mr %NJ/AM of Louisiana, followed, and went
into a detailed history of the Hornless lend grants,
which, it appears. were made in 1774 by Urisage,
then Governor of Louisiana, to certain parties,
tram whom the present parties obtained their
tights of possession. Mr. Benjamin said theme rights
bad been recognised for three generations, and had
been oonfirmed • by the United States con its, end
it was manifestly unfair to oompeltheronews.s.--
le. The provhdons
o irifeimuim them to litigate within two
yearn, or to submit to having their lands sold as
nubile lands. This he regarded as a violation of
the Constitution.
Mr. Toextio, of (keorgia, responded, argulag
that the title. were not good. if they were, they
could be established and oonlinned. For years,
the lands now claimed under the Flowage grants
warn occupied by other parties, and possession was
never claimed by the Houma! grantees.

from the Committee on Private Land Claims; for
the repeal of the act of the 2d June, 18.58, Ina
vidini, for the final settlement of private land
claims in Loolsiana, which compels all the claim
ants of the lands in dispute to commencejudiaial
proceedings within two years, or forfeit them to
the Government.
Without action, the Senate adjourned. ,
HORSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Ile House resumed the consideration of the Pa
cifir Railroad bill.
Mr. Nona, of Missouri, offered a substitute that
the road be commenced on the western border of
Texas. Rejected.
Mr. iVoonsort, of Missouri, as a compromise, be
tween the various proposition, proposed that the
main trunk from Ban Francisco be located between
the 35th and 43d parallel of north latitude, to con
nect with branches from lowa, Missouri, and
Tevts.
Mr. Ssrtru, of Virginia, advocated the Southern
route, opposing the proposition for branches for the
aocommodatibn of looal sections.
Mr. Fitanon, of Maine, replied, Justifying the
action of the special committee, in reporting the
central route, and insisting that it la national in
character, and best calculated to promote the pur
poses designed.
Mr. IiANILTON, of Texas, made a comparison to
show that the Southern route was in all respects
superior to any other.
Mr. DAMILTON, of Texas, ma a comparison to
show that.the Southern route was In all respects
supsrlor to any other. Tho time has passed, he
slid, when the South will oringo or beg. They in
tend to have what is their right. If they cannot
get it one way, they will another, in spite of every
tic that blade them to the Union It might be said
that they would he coerced by the so cklled free
mpn of the Borth, but it would not be the first nor
lust time the South would victoriously meet the In
vatting tyrant.
Mr. DataalrlT, of Missouri, spoke of the general
importance of the railroad, viewing it in a national
aspect.
Mr. DAVIS, of Maryland, showed that this bill
woe wholly impracticable, the grant being made
directly to subscribers, creating more or lessee
partnership, which would be dissolved on the first
death, and the estate be thrown for settlement into
a court of chancery. Without en act of incorpo
ration of some kind the work must stop. lie sug
gested that tho bill and its amendments he recom
mitted to the Admit committee, In order that they
may make it practicable under the laws of the
land.
Mr. MILLsow, of Virginia, also took a legal view
of tho question, contending that the bill was ina
prnotica-ble.
Mr. etMTH ; of lowa, replying to these objec-
tions, geld the grantees would take nothing but an
expootanoy. If they go on and do certain things
they wilt get their pay, but not otherwise.
The question was then stated to be on recommitting
the but and amendments to the select annuitteo.
Mr. Ceara ineffectually endeavored to obtain
power for lhe committee to report at any time.
The bill and amendments were then recommitted
to the Pacific railroad select oomniittee.

It is greatly to be regretted that persons who
make use of a language that ib not their own do
not always take the trouble to have their quotations
grammatical. Ina volume of law reporta i jnet pub
lished, one of the judges informi the world that
"'codas et conventio vincit legem !" a dual&
verlaisagreetng with two nominatives connected
with a oopulative conjunction. The insoription of
the monument just completed, and dedicated-at
Roxborough, thtui concludes "The Constitution
and the Union. Sato perpetuts," which literally
means " The Constitution. Let it be perpetual, '
whereas the writer doubtless meant to express his
wish that both the Constitution and the Union
might be perpetual, and therefore, should have
said "sunto perpetua." It is not clear what con
nection exists between there unfortunate Vir
ginians killed during the Revolution and the Con
stitution of the United Stake, which did not exist
for several years afterwards; but if it was riper
to introduce the Constitution on their tomb 'tone,
it might as well have been honored with good

THE NEWSBOYS' AID SOCIETY.—The so.
oond anniversary of the Newsboys' Aid Society Was
celebrated last evening, at the Home, No. 237
South Third street. We have before alluded to
the comforts enjoyed at ibis institution by a large
clew of newsboys who, before it was established,
were dependent upon the meagre pittance to be
obtained at their calling for the nooessities of ex
istence. Not only thin, bat the assoolations which
their previous course of life engendered were,
morally speaking, of a most injurious and per.
nicioua character. The temptations of attractive
vine, the abeenee of all those tender ties which bind
the human heart to home and happiness, and the
Mansard opening and progressive petit/ to crime
and punishment; all seemed to be :nseparable with
the newsboys' life. The Newsboys' .Rome—the
work of a few of our most discriminating and cha
ritable citizens—ban opened to this heretofore de
graded class of society, a road to honesty and use.
fulness. On a modest sonic, and without any pre
tensions beyond the necessarily contracted sphere
of their operations, its practical results will bear a
comparison with those of any of our older and
more ostentatious charities.
John Bohlen, Esq., the president, made the only
address, its congratulated the impiety upon its
present position, and contrasted its condition now
with what it was. Ho introduced a brief history
of the association and its doiggs, coupling his nar
rative with a very high compliment to the energy
and ability of the present Superintendent, Mr.
Alexander Sloan. At one time the great majority
of the newsboys were outea'sts—homeless and
friendless, and rapidly becoming curses to civilized
society. Votaries of the theatre, the dice-boa, and
the rvine•cup, they seemed to be destined to lives
of degradation and crime. Now, after two years
existence, this association presented to the news
boy alw me, end the frieLdship of a home. The
newsbe)a, under the care of the Nome, , exhibited
a degree of improvement most gratifying The
sinful pleasures of the outer world had given way
to an admirable system of gymnastio and intellec
tual improvement.
Music, singing, elocution, and the minor ele
ments of a useful education, were taught to the
boys, with muoh success. The speaker regarded
the experiment of a home as a triumph. In eon
elusion, the speaker paid a glowing compliment to
the founder of the Home, P. Ratchford Starr, Eal.
The address was listened to with deep attention.
A letter from Mr. Starr was read, dated at Pltts:
burg. regretting his absence at the celebration and
wishing the members of the Home, individually,
the utmost temporal and spiritual welfare. A
touching , allusion was made to John Ellard, a lad
who died deeps the past year

at en earlier stage of {he care—ther the indict
ment was not maintainable under the act of 180,
but the offenoe, if offence it was, WOO indictable
under the act of 1790
Judge Ceder&leder declined to decide the point
at that step of the case, but preferred to hear the
defence. With the whole ease before his, be
would be prepared to decide the question.
' Mr Pierce then o pened the cue for the defence.
i
Ito referred to the mportune of the ease as con
nected with a law of the United States. It was of
importance, not as 'derived from the ants of these
pour defendants—sots impulsive, if they Vsaged—
acts sudden—acts springing from a warm =pulse
of the besrt—aets which he did not ocean to say
were not offences against the law. They were not
there to justify any breach of the pun!, or any
violation of the public law. In eonehason, Mr.
Pierce referred to the fact that therie was no evi
dence that there was a proaoneerted plan; that
when the men were searched in the station-house,
ao fire•arms were found on their persons. They
were searched very thoroughly and everything
taken from them, and the money then taken from
thrni was never returned.
During the o:emanation of the witneaseslor the
defence, Judge Oadwalader Interrupted the pro
ceedings by recommending those jurors not em
panneled in the case on trial, to /wire the room, en
they might be called upon to try the witnesses,
lie said he had no eight to keep them out of the
ropm, but it would be better fot.tb i eet to absent
