BALTIMORE, June H. 1872
Mr. EDITOR -
Thomas J. Beach, Esq, one of the Sun reporters was
yesterday assaulted by James M Buchanan Esq, gen.
teman ofthe Baltimore BAR when about entering the door
of the Court House. The assang party first used cane,
with which he struck his antagonist blow on the head
He then drew pistol and presented at Mr.. Beach. A
crowd of bystanders Immediately nterered and the par
ties separated without the splitting of blood The
provocation alleged by Mr. Buchanan, was an article
written by the reporter and published under the head
City Court reports wherein he conceived he had been ui-
justly assailed. 1t is for to take sides and say
which blame. Lawy ers, however should remeni-
that witnesses have sometimes suffer at their hands
To be consistent therefore they ought to be willing to
give and take. Reporters, too may make mistep and
say what they did not intend evil My advice would
be to drop the subject make friends and let the affair
among the rubbish ofpast folles The parties cited
by the States Attorney appear before Court and held
bail in the sum of $500 each to keep the peace.

WASHINGTON, (Tuesday,) June II.
Proceedings In Congress.
Among the morning business OF the Senate, was
a resolution submitted by Mr.. Conrad, requesting
the President to communicate, so lar as compatible
with the public interests, what measures, Ii any,
have been taken TO obtain a recognition by the
Mexican Government Of such claims Of American
citizens laid before the Joint Commission, but moi
acted upon by it, and the satisfaction OF such claims
as nave been admitted By the Commission.
The bill Tor an armed settlement of Florida was
taken up, and after being amended and debated at
length, was ordered to third reading
lhe Dlli Tor the adjustment of the claims of Sas
Deane, was read "A third time and passed. The Ma
Wy Appropriation bill was then taken up The first
amendment of the Financs Committee was to
strike out the amendment of the House. limiting
the parson'ld of the navy to what it was in ISiI-
This was discussed at some length, and finally
amended to preven! any increase of officers beyond
the present number In the House, after scene of
extraordinary confusion and uproar, vote was ia
ken on motion to reconsider the vote Of yester-
day, whereby the House nonconcurred in the
amendment of the Senate altering the ratio of So
40 as adopted by the House, to $780, and rejected
by majority of two--ayes l06; noes 1913. The
House then refused to concur in the fractional Il
mendment ofthe Senate by vote ofl6l to so. So all
the amendments of the Senate have been disagreed
to- A resolution was then adopted agreeing to take
the bill TO extend the present laws until the
lst of August, out of committee tomorrow at II
o'clock. The House then went into committee of
the whole the bill, and was discussed until the
hour of adjournment.
The protection men were all in a state of the
greatest possible reputation. They had assented to
the folly Of mixing up distribution with the tariff,
and now they are terrified beyond measure at the
prospect of losing both. If such shall be the result
any jury in the world would find verdict Of

NEGOTIATIONS WITH ENGLAND.-Our accounts
from Washington are highly favorable Every
event seems to conspire in assuring that the ne
gouuiions between Lord Aslburton and our govern
ment viii have a peaceable and honorable termi-
nation.
Within the last few days, the commissioners and
agents or the several States interested, have ar
rived at Washington, and are now consulting the
Government during the progress of the negotiation
These commissioners have full powers from their
several States to agree to treaty on honorable
principles. The following is a list of their names:
Hqesacbtse,fs. Maine.
Abbot lawrence. Edward Kavauagh.
John Mills, w 7. Prebe,
Charles Allen, Edward Kent,
In addition to these, there also on the ground the
land agents Of Maine and New Brunswick Every
effort viii therefore be made to bring the Boundary
question to a close But there are difficulties in the
way, beyond the reach of the negotiators.
Il is not known exactly what are the terms of
compromise but it is generally supposed that it will
be settled on some principle of equity-dividlng or
committing the territory, either in money or land
Possibly the free nav cation of the Mississippi onthe
part Of England, and of the 81. Lawrence and the
st Johns on the part Of the United States, may be
one Of the points Of discussion and arrangement
Inc Caroline and creole AFFAIRS cannot involve any
diiculty-nether can tho right Of search, az deve-
oped in the Quadruplc Treaty suppress the African
slave trade. This country can never become par
ties TO any European arrangement, for the suppress
sion Of that cruel ralc--what is TO be DONE will Be
done on her own account.
Yet after ALL and in spite of the favorable appear
ances, there may be difficulty in Congress. The
Government, Lord Ashburton, the State Commits
sioner5 may al agree but if the factions in Congress
jealous of the popularity to the President, grow
ing ouof the negotiations, they may get up plot to
"hsll off the Captain'-defcatlh negotiation
and throw every thing before the winds Two thirds
of the Senate are required to approve the treaty
aud majority Of the House to vote the appropria-
lions for carrying it into effect.
We are, therefore, not yet ont of the woods
although it will not lay at the door of the American
or British negocators.
