The whole thing appears to bare been conducted on the

In conclusion, the Committee my they have no action
to recommend on the part of the House, inasmuch as duty
have elicited no evidence eriatinating any member of the
body. True, the Clerk of the Standing Committee on

having resigned his poet on the heels of the movement for
an investigative, no Milker action was needed in his cue.

We clip the above specimen brick from the edifice of
folly which our City Fathers aasetnble once a week to erect.
Under the authority of law, a majority of the owners of
property on various streets of the city, petitioned to the
city authorities to erect gas posts and light the streets to
petitioning—the whole expense of which has been paid
by the owners of the property on the said streets. Now,
however, we are - cooly told that although we have paid for
-our posts, and are willing to pay for the gas, we can't be
aceommodate.i. Was ever boll-headed obstinacy more
apparent among "men dressed in a little brief authority,"
And what is the reason given ? We bare heard but one,
and that was given by one of the "solemn conclave of
twelve" to a friend of ours. When remonstrated with for
this act of tyranny he retorted by charging that octal*
parties had remonstrated to the Legislature last 'rioter
against the passage of the bill increasing our city taxed—
and to punish them for thee daring to have an opinion of
their owe, the whole town is to be deprived of gas I Row
long are we to be ruled by men who have no higher ap•
predation of their position than is indicated by this ?
Now long are the rights of the tax payers to be trampled
on by a few malicious spirits who use their aetideseal po
sition as a means of wreaking their revenge ?
MEL ANCHOL Y OCCURRENCE.—Tb• Meadville
papers record a most melancholy ocpumnee which occur •
red in Hayfield township in 'ars - wford county on Thursday
of last week. It appears that a Mr. Asamanx LaYsysar l
a respectable citizen of Hayfield townaliip, was killed by a
boll, belonging to a butcher in Conneautville, turas, the
following circumstances : A neighbor of Mr. Laruiran's
was in possession of the bull, and kept him in his barn.
On Thursday afternoon he broke down the barnsdoor and
got out, and the man, being sick, sent for Mr. L. to assist
to securing him. Ile came, and while endeavoring to get
him back into the barn, the animal made a pitch at him
and threw him over a fence. Mr. I. got up apparently
uninjured, and approached the fence, but the bull upon hie
re-appearing, made another pitch at him and threw the
fence down upon him, when he horned and mangled him
in a horrid manner. It is raid that it was two hours be•
fore the body could be taken away from the bull, as he
walkod around it, occasionally tossing it up on his horns,
and then tramping it. When rescued at last, it was found
that his bowels were torn out, and that be was otherwise
horribly mangled.
,rsor Bpaniab quarters are no longer taken in this city
for twenty-fire cents—the Bank, Exchange offices, Post
°Mee, and moat of our merchants haring refused on Hon•
day morning to receive them for more than twenty rents
This Is as it should be. For months the towns East and
West of no hare refused to receive them except at this
rate, and the result was that they were bought up by spec
ulators, brought here, and were fast becoming our only.
currency. They will now disappear from circulation.

Do you know that one city offielais are getting pious, the
effect perhaps of the reseet revival, or it may be that they
have all at once discovered that there isrone day sot apart
for reit. Whatever it is, they are attempting to prevent
the newsboys from crying their wares on Sunday. Now,
it may be that your correspondent lea the "earth earthy,"
but he cannot help thinking that this "reform" has com
menced In a very poor quarter. There are a multitudo of
Sabbath day abuses in this city which continually cry
aloud for reform, but which are winked at by the very
men who are now persecuting the ragged newsboys. In
deed it is publicly avowed that this war upon newsboys
does not at all contemplate stopping the sale of newspapers
on that day, and does not warrant any iterferenee on the
part of the policemen with man or boys, who prosecute the
newspaper traffic in the streets in a quiet and orderly Man
ner. Neither do they meditate any attempt to shut up the
shop' of the newsmen on Sunday, or the publication offices
of the newspapers, If the proprietors are disposed to keep
them open. This being so, Sunday newspapers wilt be
sold as heretofore, but the boys will not be permitted to
cry them through the stases. The great mass of the read,
en of the Sunday P ros are served by regular earlier, and
newsmen, who keeptatde all over the city. The boys
sell to strangers, and snob citizens as only webs,e occa
sionally, and this they can do just as well in a quiet man
ner, so as not to dletstrb the very muddy' gentlemen of
the "Sabbath Committee," who ride to church, and keep
their coachmen and footmen outside the tabernacle, while
they go in and make long prayers, which, Christ taught
us, are offensive to the threat Father of us ail, who may,
perhaps, give a ragged rlewpboy, who sells Sunday papery,
aa high a seat in his heavenly kingdom as will be award
ed to this Sabbath committee, consistipg of Horace Holden,
Norman White, or Daniel Fanshaw. This last named
gentleman used to work jackasses to drive his printing
presses on Sunday, is direct violation of the command•
ment especially exempting tdat breed of animals from ill

yesterday, which was participated in by all shades
and factions, shows conclusively the condition,
the beitirross - and swills.- osodisioa, or
character, of the public mind As the debate
shows, it is confined to no party or section The
extreme Southern men and the extreme Northern
men, fur the nonce, stand ou the same platform
—and pledge themselves to stand by the Exce
eutive in every and any emergency, not only so,
but they are willing to clothe the President with
full power to put an end to these insults and
outrages—tbese aggressions upon our rights--
and them whenever our - rights shill be again
violated, let the wrongs be inmantfy avenged on
the spot.
Mr Toombs was for taking the bull—John
Bull—by the borne. He wanted something
more than pledges or securities that belligerent
acts should not be committed in the future—r
satisfaction for what has been done already. If I
these proceedings have taken place under the
-auction of Brite-h authority—and there is no
question in my mind but they have, for Lord
Napier does not deny it—in fact he Amite it—
we should resist them by force, and do it with,
out delay. We should do more; we abouli con
, fer full power and authority upon the Executive
to send a sufficient force there, to seise these
I vessels, and bring them and their crews into the
port of New York. Instead of asking the Go
vernment of Great Britain to apologise, we had
better put ourselves in a position for them to ask
us to apologise, provided they feel aggrieved at
o'ir action Great Britain has kept up these
aggressions upon our commerce for a long series
of years, and it is high time that it should cease
The instructions under which the British vessels
aro acting were given by Palmerston, more theft
eighteen months ago Palmerston at the same
time addressed a letter to Lord Napier upon the
subjeet He asked his Lordship to inquire of
our Government whether we (the U. ft ) were
ready and willing to cooperate with England to
suppress the slave trade—and also what method
or course of policy the United States ebose to
pursue and put a stop to this, as he alleged, in
human traffic' . General Cass informed his LlM
ship, in the recent letter, the exact position the
United States intended pursuing upon this sub
ject But that letter, I understand, did not
satisfy his Lordship, and he has been - grumbling
and growling ever since The recent debate in
the Senate will act as a settler upon the nervnue

this knotty question The next steamer may

Congress and Paraguay
Venn, t 6• N': New..
it will be seen by the dispatches irons Wash,

Senate's resolution by the large vote of 115 to
79, authorizing the President to , otope/ Para
guay to 'fake a satisfactory apology fur the in
sults given to the Water Witch This is right,
as far as it goes; hut there are twenty or thirty
just such cages as this, and are also of daily 00
currence in the Gulf, which require the prompt
action of Congress quite as much as this single
case. Because the one was the act of a weak
Government, and the others of a powerful one,
was no reason, we trust, for clothing the Presi•
dent with power to resent-insults to our tisg coign

withholding from him such power ea-.•

No more forcible argument than the passage
of this resolution could have been. prey.• cited for
the passage of a Bill similar to that of Senator
Douglas', clothing the liresident with full power
to act in all emergencies or sudden and unellled
for attacks upon our flag, soil or property by any
foreign powers. There is no danger, as some
have suggested, of such a power being abased,
for no Executive would dare to make use of it
unlesathe clearest necessity existed forit; and if a
President can not be intrusted and clothed with
power Which will enable him to protect our na•

with the flower suggested in the bill before the
Senate he would at once have ordered a vessel to

And it is just such with wh:ch the Eteetitiee
should be clothed. It is the prompt and sudden
punishment of all-iosulta or aggressions that will
make us respected as well as feared, and this can
only be done by lodging the power in the hands
of some one person, and that one should of course
