Mr.. CLAY AND Mr.. KING.

The personal controversy which has been the sub
ject of conversation for days past, having ar
sen between these two distinguished Senators,
happy to announce was yesterday most amicably and
honorably arranged in the presence of the Senate.
Those who reverence the njunctions ofhc Deity,
gard the harmony of public deliberations, the welfare
ofthe two Senators, and the dignity of the Senate
will rejoice at this termination of the affair The SEN
timents which fell from Mr.. Preston, and from both
the Senators mentioned, were worthy of high minded
and honorable Senators, and we do not wonder that
the audience were incapable of suppressing the
preston of their appreciation of the manly and mag
unanimous conduct of Mr. Clay, and their pleasure to
the two Senators again shake hands in friendly
manner.
The substance of the remarks made by the two
Senators on Friday, together with the explanations
made yesterday will be found among reports

From the Providence OR. ~ Journal.
THE INAUGURAL.

The Inaugural address Of Gen. Harrison has
given decided satisfaction, and challenges even
the appreciation of his opponents Mild, mode
rate and conciatory, yet firm and decided, it is
precisely the document suited TO the present state
OF the country, and calculated to restore true
American feeling, in place ofthe agtated and *
asperated state of parties, which for the past
year has unhappily, but perhaps necessarily, ex-
listed. The views of the President upon the
powers and restrictions the Executive, and par
tlcularly upon the exercise ofthe veto, will CRAFTY
every friend of the Liberties Of the people and the
independence of Congress. His declaration of a
determination to keep the patronage Of the Gov
eminent separate from all interference with or in
iuence over the freedom of elections, is what
was expected from the character Of the man. The
first step in this reform, we presume, will be The
removal Of the men who have been guilty of such
interference and influence.
His views of the peculiar relation of the gene
raj to the state governments, of the relation be-
tween the executive and the departments, md be-
tween the Executive and Congress, are the true
doctrines of republicanism, the doctrines which
were held by the men who framed the Constitu-
ton, and those who first administered the govern
ment under it,
The part of the address which relates to the
credit of the States and to the embarrassments
under which some of them are laboring, is just
and proper. The remarks upon the currency,
upon the folly Of combining it purely to the pre-
clous metals, and upon the Wanted divorce of
the treasury from the banks, are equally accepta-
Bile. The general scope of the Address may
safely challenge the severest scrutiny of our op-
ponents, and will inspire the friends Of General
Harrison's administration with increased conf
dence in the man whom they have selected for
so exalted station. After twelve years of mis-
rule and of continual encroachment by the Exc
cutive upon the other branches Of the Govern
ment, il is cheering to hear such principles avow-
ed by the head of the nation.

his place in that body. Mr.. Cuthbert seems 10
have studied 10 make his fanfaronade ridicu-
lous affair; for he put the whole of il, by way of
interogatory. lnterogations TO an absent man /!
who could not hear them, and who, il he did
hear them, could not respond, because his right
TO answer in the Senate had ceased, by his pre-
vlous act of resignation. This act Of attacking
man behind his back is not suited TO the taste
of Georgia, as Mr.. Cuthben ought TO have
known; and after the public and solemn decla-
rations of Webster in Virginia, as well as in
Massachusetts, on the subject TO which Mr..
Cuihber referred In his interrogatories, he must
have felt them TO have been as superhuous and
unnecessary, as they were inappropriate and
ungenerous. But we would not treat the matter
with an unnecessary seriousness; such ebulli-
tons are not of kind to make much impress
SION on the sober good sense of the people Of
Georgia The North American Of Philadelphia,
IN the following article, treats the matter in a
manner much more appropriate:
III is said the sleepers when they awoke,
began taxing up matters just where they left them

no knowledge ofthe election Of Gen Harrison much
less OF the appointment of Mr. Webster as Secretary

New YoRK, March 10, ls4l.

NEW DIRK, March Is, 1871.
The navigation Of the Hudson will probably
re open within three days Yesterday afternoon
we had wet snow storm, with little rain at
the close. and furious gale toward morning.
The wind blew strong from the South till
O'Clock, which was very favorable to the break
ing up of the firm ice still remaining. This
morning the steamboat Utica, Capt. Schultz, left
our city fully determined to force her way through
to Albany if possible. II is an even chance that
she gets through tomorrow. Among her pas
sengers were Gov. SEWARD, Messrs. FILLMORE,
MARVIN, and MORGAN Of Congress, and Mr..
LORD, President of the New York and Erie
Railroad Company. So severe was the gale
that presume the Eastern boats did not venture
out from either Stonington or Norwich last
night; so we have no mail from Boston.
The Wings of CONNECTICUT have re -nomina-
ted all their present Members Of Congress in
the several Districts. So emphatic an expires
sion of appreciation is seldom afforded, but in this
case il was richly deserved
The Loco-Foco majority in New HAMpsHlRr
is about as usual. The vote is much lower than
that of last fall. The Wings made no earnest
| effort.
| The panic IN relation TO Redback Money, or
the notes OF our General Local Banks, has not
yet subsidized The great mass of those not spe-
| cialy discredited, if located North and West of
Albany, are either bought by the Brokers at 8 a
per cent discount, or refused altogether. The
following are considered decidedly under the
weather. viz; Binghamplon, Farmers Seneca
Co.; Millers' Clyde; Farmers and Mechanics,
Batavia Manhattan Exchange; North Ameri-
can; North: Y. s. Trading and Banking and
tenth Ward, New York; Staten Island, Port
Richmond; Union, Buffalo and Western New
York, Rochester. All these are sold at 80 to so
per cent discount except tenth Ward, which is
held at 10 per cent As many as twenty others
are not bought by the Brokers, but no failure or
misconducts alleged against them. The Wool
growers of this City and Wiloughby Of Brook
Ign have been discontinued, but their notes are
redeemed at par.
Some damage was done to the shipping in our
port by the gale last night, but nothing serious.
Its reported, however, that large ship is ashore
on Sandy Hook. We shall hear of further dis
asters.
Money is still tight, but Exchanges are deci-
dedly improving. On Boston, par; Philadelphia,
| 3 l-2 "a; Baltimore 3 l-2; Richmond 5
Charleston l-2; Savannah a l-2; Augusta
IA IS; Mobile 10 l-2 III New Orleans l-2
a 8; Nashville Is; Louisville and Cincinnati 8.
Bills on England, 7a71-2.
Stocks are higher to day U. S. Bank IL.
The Revenue collected at our Port in 1889
amounted to $13,964, 03l in 1910 to but ST.
557,44l. A brilliant prospect ahead
The Markets are without change, but there Is
better feeling, and strong, steady demand for
cotton to go abroad.

Promise and Performance.

1t was impossible that these two ideas should
occasion, in view of the past, without inviting
attention, first, to the imputations of his own re-
fusal TO avow his principles, and next, to the
manner in which the principles avowed by his
predecessors had been fulfilled. The historical
allusion to the remark of the virtuous Roman is
which every mind must at once make Justify
the charge Of dscourtesy. 1t involves princi-
pie of too great importance to be overlooked on
such an occasion. The pnchng of the shoe
was no reason why it should not be tried on
at may be thought that motive may exist
to keep up the delusion under which they (the
people) may be supposed to have acted in rela-
ton to my principles and opinions" This is a
very delicate and cutting sarcasm. 1t is sword
Of more than two edges, and in more hands than
one. Every friend of the man who uttered il
would be ready to excaim, ''Deluded?" and
throw back the imputaton with scorn on the
heads Of its authors.
1.-The outline of principles to govern, and OF
measures 10 be adopted, by an Administration
not yet begun, will soon be exchanged for i'm
mutable history, and | shall stand, either exone-
rated to my countrymen, or classed with the
mass of those who promised that they might de
ceive, and hattered with the intention to betray.'
A bold position this, which none but those who
are EARNED strong with honesty" would dare TO
take, and a defiance, the front Of which will be
assailed if it can be. "Exonerated y He had
then been accused Who are they that "pro-
mise to deceive, and ilatter 10 betray?" They
are TO be found in the history of a country that
has fallen PROSTATE by their misrule. The gar
ments cut out by this skilful hand will be put on
those whom they fit.
Those who were milling to know General
Harrison's principles, knew them as well before
as now, nor will any one say, desiring credit tor
honesty, that this document is unintelligible.
The Sovereignty ofhe People

stituton rests being the people-a breath OF
theirs having made, as breath can unmake,
change, or modify tit can be assigned 10 none
of the great divisions of Government, but 10 that

of the fundamental principle of the American
Government and its institutions, on which the
entire edfcc rcposes. Here is also a recognition
rarely made, and none more true or important to

COTTON TRADE TO THE ApRIATIc

Official Custom House returns show that the
average annual amount Of Cotton exported from
New Orleans to Trieste from the year 1880 to
1889, inclusive, was 1861, OLA lbs.
But for the year 1910, the exports Of Cotton
from New Orleans to the same city amounted to
7,422, 934 lbs.
This remarkable increase in the direct trade
between New Orleans and the Adriatic, is evil
IDENTITY the consequence of the favorable change
recently effected in the quarantine regulations in
Austrian ports, in regard to arrivals from this
country.
