WASHINGTON, l4h May, 1874.
The Senate AGAIN continues Tor long time in
Executive Session to-day. 1t is no easy matter,
since the censure passed upon Mr.. Tappan, to
certain what is done in these days in Executive
Session. What now tell you, however, you may
rely upon Benton, Allen g. Co are much ssften-
ed in their hostility to the treaty. They are afraid
of the consequences. | meant to have said that
the treaty wassthe subject Of discussion in Execu-
tive Session. Among the wings there is a
great anxiety to hasten action upon it-and Of
course its reection-as fast possibly be done
consistently with propriety and seemliness. The
messenger with returns from Mexico is expected to
arrive about the 10th Of June. The House amend
ed the Senator's resolution TO adjourn on the
seventeenth of June. This amendment OF the
House was strenuously opposed by Mr.. Cave
Johnson, and other friends of Mr.. Van Bu-
rem whs are wire worked by Mr. Benton, who
now stands and fights shoulder to shoulder with III
wings. But the Van Buren, men were beaten, and
the 18th fixed upon. Well, to-day the amendment
comes up in the Senate for their concurrence.
Mr.. Evans, with great pertlnacity, insists on at
amending the amendment from the 18th 10
the Sd OF June. This amendment, if carried,
would have brought about adjournment Of Con-
gress before the messenger from Mexico would
arrive And here is the whole secret out. You
see the wings are excessively afraid this messenger
will return with such convincing proofs in favor OF
annexation. that the people will by exclamation
before any such unfortunate contingency
cur the wings are determined TO adjourn. And it
is this position of the question, that you see the
reason why Senator Walker to-day opposed amend
ing from the 18th to the Sd.
One thing, however is now settled upon-to take
up and discuss the treaty without delay, az
to get through with il. They dare not reject 1t
without discussion. Nor will the discussion be in
open Senate And here Benton g. Co. have now
changed front The secret of this and the fact is,
that such strong demonstrations are now daily
coming in from the people in favor OF annexation,
that all the opposing Senators have concluded that
il is much safer tor them to talk out Of hearing OF
the people. And they report their own speeches,
which will not be done for sometime, they can,
when they come to publish them, write them out
to suit the then state of the dear peoples pulse.
Thus keeping along nearly possible on the
fence, they will be ready 10 jump either way, and
assign any most polite tor their respective
votes and opinions
1t cannot be concealed that this question Of an
nexation is assuming fearful and momentous i'm
por,ance. 1t is growing tlcklish. breeze has
been conJured up which is already become a high
wind, and bids fair to end in tempest and hur-

n GooSe.-Some rude boys on last
Tuesday night was week ago threw a
goose IN at the window during the sitting
of the Clay Club. We detest all such
conduct. We hold that one of the mos,
inestimable rights guaranteed to man is
"the liberty of speech and of the press"
And no meeting Of whatever name or de-
nomination il may be, if properly conduc-
ted should be disturbed. We, however
were somewhat diverted TO see Mr..
Goose with SO much calmness and DELHI

When it reached its place Of eminence it
gave three cheers for Polk. And when
ever the President went to put vote TO
the house the goose would sing out Polk |.

How they talk among themselves.

DO the wing leaders at the east themselves re-
ally believe the many absurjties they would
cram the people with in reference to the benei-
cal effects of protective tariff! BY no means.
Your sErewd yankee coon can see through the
humbugs of the system as well as any locofoco,
though he may never say so in the Clay Club.
This is apparent from the following extract from
a letter published in the Boston POST written
by rice president Of a Chy CLUB to Boston
merchant:
Our purchases this autumn will be light, as we
had left over S'",'' Of winter goods, and the

Shockiuy lilur,lcr.

During the time the steamer La Sale lay ut the
81. Louis wharf on her last trip, most shocking
murder was committed by an individual named
William rockingham, who is know to a number
Of citizens in this county We arc not in pos
session Of all the particulars, but the following
embraces the principle transactions;
1t appears that Rockingham was engaged on
the La Sale as deck hand" but for miscon-
duct was discharged by tho captain. The cause
OF his discharge Rockingham attributed to the
mate, named Thomas Bell, Ohio same Mr..
Bell that commanded the Raritan during the
pleasure excursion Of our citizens on the lth of
July last) with whom he had a scufllc, which
resulted in rockingham being thrown overheard.
Afterwards Rockingham challenged Bell to meet
him on the wharf, which he very properly dccli-
ned doing, but shortly afterwards he went G-shorc
on business connected with the boat when Frolh-
ngham assailod him by throwing brick, which
missed Bell and brought the parties to an engage
ment during which Bell got the advantage and
was dealing Rockingham some severe blows,
when the latter drew large cnso-kiuif and stab
bed Bell in some vital spot, which resulted in his
immediate death.
Rockingham has been arrested, and is now
confined in the st. Lois prison to await his trial

withdrn wal of President Tyler.

The Madisoniau OF the 22d contains letter of
four columns from President Tyler, in which he
announces his determination no longer to consi-
der himself candidate for reelection. The pre-
sdent gives as his reason for accepting the nom-
nation of his friends at Baltimore, that, as the
wings had assumed an attitude of bitter hostl-
ity 10 him. and cl aged him with crimes sufficient
to justify his impeachment aud as tho democrats
in congress refused to come to his defence, there
was no other course left for him butte throw him
self upon the country; but he says few days be-
fore the adjournment of the late session of con-
gross the house passed series of resolu ons, con-
tanning aud leaving upon record complete de-
fence Of his motives in the leading acts of his
administration, from which time he determined,
as soon as he could consult some of his most pro-
mnent friends, to retire from contest Switch"
hc says, "seemcd no longer to be possessed Of an
object worthy of much further attention."
The president then addresses himself to the
"Rcpublican portion of the whig party Of 1910, y
having nothing to say to the other portion, which
he says 'was formerly known, during the early
period of our political history, as Federalists, at a
later day as National Republicans, rnd now pass
under the general appellation of Wings" He
details at great length the principal measures Of
his administration, defending and explaining each
IN It's turn-he speaks with much warmth and APP
parent sincerity, presents picture Of the condi-
tlou OF the country under his rule which leaves
him no cause for regret, and concludes his letter
IN the following emphatic language.

day to the pen of impartial history, in the full
confidence that neither my motives nor my acts
