Tixe Fir Utah Outrages
The people of the nation most heartily en
dorse the motion now before Congress is to
clothe the President with imple power to meet
with proper dignity and effect any outrage
upon our flag, onr soil or our citizens,
them come from what power they may. Tlie
diliatory proceedings of Congress, w here there
are so many talkers, and we had like to have
said so many traitors, have made it apparent
that the honor of the nation should he placed
where conflicting views, passions and prejti
dices would no:. operate to prevent prompt
and proper action. We hope the motion will
meet with the concurrence of every patriot
in both Houses, and that the President will
thus be authorized at all times to take neces
sary steps to vindicate our flag, our soil and our
citizens from the assaults or insults of any and
every power on land or on sea. Such actin
is due to the standing of the United State ,
as one of great Powers of the world, and the
want of such power in the hands of the
President has the effect to lessen the influence
of our country abroad, and to induce parties
to believe that our flag might be insulted
with impunity, and our citizens deprived of
their rights without fear of our punishment
following. It is time this impression was
done away with.
THE IVEPUEILICA.N'S
To-day the Black Republicans hold their
primary meetings to choose delegates to the
nominating convention, which will assemble
on Wednesday. As a nomination in till:,
county-is considered almost equivalent to an
election, the contest for the principal offices
will be hotly contested. We should not be
in the least astonished to see "a split" upon
some of the offices. Old grudges are being
revived, and some of the candidates have
been advertising their own stupidity in the
columns of the Black Republican papers.--
Pitch in, gentlemen. "When rogues fall
honest men get their own;' and as the dis
cordant elements of Republicanism are not
very thoroughly cemented, we have hopes
that here and there Democrats may take the
oyster, while their opponents are fighting for
the shell.
The Usury Law
The telegraph brings us the gratifying an
nounNment that Governor Packer yesterday
signed the bill passed by the last Legislature,
repealing the penalties against usury. The
law goes into effect on the Ist of July next.
We have already given our readers its provi
sions. It does not in any way alter the legal
rate of interest, but repeals that odious fea
ture of the old law which offered a premium
to dishonorable men by working a forfeiture
of the whole sum in:cases where usury was
received.

VARIOUS THE tY: GS
—Counterfeit 10's cm the Bank of Trade, Nevi
Jersey, have made their appearance.
—Billy Bowlegs is holding levees, at the New
Orleans Museum charging for admission. The
" varmint" is sharp enough to take care of
No. 1.
—Barnum is in the field again in New York
with a splendid opera scheme of the most ex
pensive progressive magnificent and Bernumiell
character. Ho is determined to sing, dance, and
play out his pecuniary difficulties.
—The price of cattle has advanced to ten
cents per pound in the New York Cattle market.
—A new and dangerous counterfeit, likely to
victimize the most experience, has just made its
appearance, in the form of fives on the
Falls Bank at Holyoke. The counterfeit is an
exact imitation of the original, the difference,
upon comparison, being discernable only in the
shading and the etching about the well, over
which a female figure is represented in ti - e act
of drawing water. Fives on the W Aunt (Mass.,)
Bank, unlike the genuine have also made their
appearance.
—We have some funny stories aLout the fresh
ets in the West, but here is one from the Memphis
Appeal, which is a trifle ahead of any of the
others : "The Bate Frisbee en her last trip had
a gentleman of Bolivar, who was going to see a
friend of his fifty miles up the river. Hie busi
ness was this : one day last week he saw a non
descript sort of an artiole floating down the Miss
issippi near his plantation ; it resembled a mina
ture Noah's ark, with the hull knocked off. Cu
riosity lead him to board it, when be was aston
ished to find himself in the store of a friend re
siding fifty miles up the river. The contents
were not greatly injured. Ho tied the store to
the shore, and started off to lot his trading
friend know where he might find his lost place
of business."

The above is the title of a neat and modest
voliime of short poems, which has been laid
up our table by Messrs. Hunt & Miner.
The author is a Clevelander, who begs the
indulgence of the public for hie unassuming
volume. He need not have done so, for many
of his pieces possess poetic merit of a high
order. The book is for sale by Hunt & Miner,

nese men, can afford to pay, do pay, or agree to pay,
five times a; much as the Laidd.i., clasp just before
named; for their location is still more important.
Rare is a starting point—property, to have a value,
must be in the right place—here commences the
mystery.
Then how should the account stand in our cities
and towns? Ths following is the suggestion of
C 0114111071 sense, bowovei little regarded:
The operative, who depends on his hands only.
should not live un ground worth more than $5OO a
lot, or $7,000 an acre; the next class should not 00
eupy ground at more than $35,000 an acre; and the
upper class should cautiously avoid ground ~hove
$175,000 an acre, unless tuoy are so fortunate as to
flourish is Chicago, St. Louts or New York, where
common sense is no linger regarded in rofereuc•: to
the price of town luta.
In the latter city items have been;old at eight
times $175,000, or at $1,400,000 the acre. (It is un
commori" sense, that warrants to snob a price, even in
each cities.
Bat let us return to the common sconce side of the
question, and look to facts and figures, in and about
Pittsburgh and her neighboring villages, where
common cense has not yet been turned out of doors,
nor uncommon sonsa been luogsrated.
Now the office of the Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne and
Chicago Railroad Company stands on ground that
'cost only $5OO the low trout, or $lO,OOO :or a twenty
foot lot, and yet that location is quite respectable,
and very convenient for the objects intended. The
lot being very deep, cost only at the rate of $90,750
the acre--it was reasonable, right and proper—it was
thought to be in the right place, and while Chicago
has a name, lot no man say theipriie was too much;
for in Chicago it would have coot four times that
sum, or $363,0e0 ; and if in a wrung place for the
object, (say Point Duquesne,) it would have been
to-., dear as a gift for that object.
At this moderato Pittsburgh rate, which is only
_me-fourth the mice of crack lots in the west, and
,o,ly one-eighth the price of similar lots in the east,
the little plat of ground •on which Pittsburgh and
Allegheny Cities are built, if tiold out per foot front,
would only produce two hundred and fifty millions
of dollars, fur two mile„ ~r 2,500 acres, in
cluding rivers, canals, railroads, stress, alleys and
public grounds.
The interest of this $250,000,000 per annum, is
hut $15,000,000, or $lOO each for the 150,000 inha
bitants. And who coot object t., that prier? Cer
tainly not those hundreds of thousands who are
rushing hundreds of mi'e, west, and paying higher
prices in much worse I , ,e,tlHru.
The laic sales on Fifth street, of the Church lot
and Ryan lot, are at this day, and under the circum
stances of the case, lit tt wheat at 75c and cure at
35c; for the property is in the. rigot place, it is sold
to the right man, and fur the right business objects.
justifying $5OO a foot as legitimately so the paying
of $5 a foot by a working mechanic, or $25 Dy the
bo.ses, the retailers, Ico , which no one consider,
wild or aureationable; it is like $5O 4 , er acre for a
Washington or Westmoreland farm, or $1 25 for a
Government quarter section.
But the city of Chicago is said to cover with hot
town lots three miles by six miles, or 13 square
miles, making 11,520 acres, which, containing four
teen 25 toot lots te the acre, or 350 feet of front to
the acre; and this, at the highest prices, nay $2,000
a 'hot front, would amount to $3,064 000,000, the an

The committee admit no right of visitation, far
less of reareb. Such hav no foundation in law or
enmity, and cannot be tolerated by any sovereign
power, without a derogation from her sovereignty.
The infrinzeosebt of sovereignty consists in the visi
tation. The best American and English authority
(Stowell, fur instance,) so decide, founding it on two
principles: Firstly, the quality of all independent
States. Secondly, the comity of tho sea as a high
ny. Indignant as the American people are and
ought to be at these aggressions, yet their occur
rence will afford the opportunity to end them at once
and forever, and the Committee refrain from recom
mending any further legislation only from the row.
son that the President has already ordered all the
available navy to the infested waters, with orders to
protect our flag. It is believed that this measure
will be serviceable for the present in stopping these
outrages. The subject has also been brought to the
notice of the offending power, both through the Min
ister at London and the Minister at Washington.
They cannot, therefore, till a reply is received from
Great Britain, decide on any measure that can be a
guarantee for the future, for nothing short of that
will satisfy the American people. The Committee,
therefore, while refraining from recommending pre
sent legislation, have unanimously
Resolved, That American ships at sea, under flag,
remain under the jurisdiction of the country to which
they belong, and, therefore, that any visitation or
molestation is an infraction of the sovereignty of the
United States.
Resolved, That these aggressions demand such un
equivocal explanation from Great Britain as shall
prevent their recurrence forever in the future.
Resolved, That the Comittee approves of the ac
tion of the Executive, and aro prepared to recom
mend such future legislation as circumstances may
require.
These resolutions will ho considered to morrow.
The Miscellaneous Appropriation bill was dis
cussed for several-hours. The clause appropriating
$60,000 for the purchase of seeds provoked a discus.
sive debate on onions, cabbages and Democracy be
tween Senators Iverson of Georgia, Bigler of Penn
sylvania, Houston of Texas, and Hale of New Hamp
shire. Messrs. Iverson and Green wished the clause
stricken out, which was not agreed to. The clause
appropriating $750,000 for the Capitol extension pro
duced a debate.
Mr. Davis moved an amendment to appropriate a
million of dollars to finish the work and $50,000 to
contract with artilits fur historical embellishments,
which was not agreed to. A discussion on art mat.
tars ensued, in the coarse of which Mr. Houston com
mented on the statuary of the squaw and poose, the
latter with its head sticking out like a terrapin ; also
upon the statue of the lady whom be supposed was
the tioddess of Liberty, and evidently the work of a
foreigner, she being in an ungraceful attitude, clad
in a classic robe with the starry zone on here fore
and on her feet a pair of plantation brogans.
Mr. Davis informed Mr. Houston that the statue
he was criticizing was the lamented Crawford's
America, whereupon Mr. Houston made a good na
tured reply.
Mr. Seward moved an appropriation for a Custom
House at Brooklyn, which, not being in order, Mr.
King renewed it in the shap, of an amendment, in.

effect the law of August, 1856, and March, 1857, in
which authority is given to erect the building. A
