ASSAULT UPON JOHN QUINCY
ADAMS


The Wash,ng'on correspondent of the
Baltimore American. under date Of the
18Th. writes as follows:
The House was aopd deal excited to-
day, as well as the citizens generally, from
learning that an assault had been commit
ted upon John Quincy Adams. The as
sault was made previous to the meeting of
the House. Mr.. Adams hal received mes
sage through enc of the pages. stating thai
a gentleman wished to see him in the lobby,
The request was cbeved, and Mr.. Adams
was met at the outer door by a man by the
name of Sangster, who fell upon him with
the NEST abusive language. and who had
seized him. and was about dealing him a
blow, or making an attempt 10 pull his nose
when some one came to the rescue, and
saved Mr.. Adams from the gross in1igniiy
Mr.. Adams appeared abundantly abe to
take care of himself however, as when he
was separated he was holding Mr.. s. by
the hands. The Sergeant at Arms was
sent for and the offender was taken INTO Gus
tody.
Mr.. S., who committed this assault. is a
resident of the city, and was some few
years since, believe, candidate Tor the
office of Sergeant at Arms of the House of
Represen aiives. Imbibing old preludices,
personal and political, which grew upon
him in an eyciied moment. he made he as
sault which seemed TO be very deliberate
as well as r,rtfiany piece of violence. The
city authorities will keep him out OF The way
of farther mi schief.

We are indebted to Messrs. VIM. Davidson & Co
No. 81 Canal street. for the following review Of the
New Ofleans cotton market
NEw ORLEANS, SATURDAY, Dec. %, 1874.
The operations in tins market since our review OF
"Wednesday morning last have not been extensive
as we noticed in the early part Of the week, which
is sufficiently explained by the intervention Of a
holiday, On which no business was transacted--
Generally speaking the prices Of most Of our leading
articles remain unchanged, and the market has not
presented amy new feature worthy OF notice. Be
fore our next publication may expect TO receive
later accounts from Europe by the Boston steamer,
which are beginning to be looked for with some de-
gree of interest
The weather since our last has been pleasant, and
favorable for outdoor business
CorroS.-In our review of "Wednesday morning
last we observed that the cotton market had ex-
hbted an active appearance in the early paii Of the
week and prices had closed with greater degree Of
firmness. Since then the same good feeling tas
confined and the transactions have again been 10
very far extent "Wednesday being Christmas,
scarcely any business was transacted and the sales
did not exceed 1000 bales. On Thursday very
active Enquiry prevailed, chiefly on England and
Northern account, and the operations embraced
$500 bAes. Yesterday there was continuance Of
this demand and the business embodied 900 bales,

From the Republican Banner.
THE UNITED STATES AND MEXI-

There are no papers nthe country which
are more earnest in the condemnation OF
our recent diplomatic demonstrations in
Mexico than the two leading Democratic
journals in the city of New York. We
have already placed before our readers
some evidences of this earnestness on their
part. The Evening Post supplies US with
other stringent remarks to the same effect.
We extract from them the subjoined para
graphs. begging the readers very particu-
lar attention to the fact advertcd to in the
second of them:
alt is demanded in some Of the journals
that Mr.. SHANNON should be recalled. We
assent with all our heart to the suggestion,
but we hope the recall will not be consider
ed as a censure upon Mr. Shannon. He
had never given any evidence Of competen
cy for such negotiation as has been en-
trusted to him and ifhe has not fulfilled his
mission with any ability, the Administra-
ton who sent him are to bame. He does
not appear to have received any particular
cautions as TO the manner in which he was
TO follow his instructions in protesting a
gainst the conduct of Mexico towards Texas.
1t does not appear tina, he has disobeyed
any direction of his own Government.
1T is true that in this last letter he lets
fall an allusion apparently TO some insiruc-
tions which have not yet seen the light.
He threatens Mexico that in consequence
ofthe offensive letter of Senior REJoN. she
may fail to receive The compensation irhich
the Government of the United STATES trouid
Diiiingiy h1re giren' for the territory Of
Texas. This. we think. will produce call
from Congress for the papers which show
how large sum Mr. SHANNON was direc-
ted 10 propose for the Mexican title to Texas
