Twenty head Of Durham and Devon Cattle,
were landed at this place from the Niagara, on
her last trip up. They were brought by Col
CaPron, Maryland citizen, from that state, and
as we are informed, are designed to stock a farm
in this vicinity. They are said to be choice spe-
cimens Of the breeds, and well worthy the in
sPection of those who feel an interest in the i'm
Provement of stock. They may be seen on the
premises Of the National Hotel, in the North

Ii is pretty genortiIy understood thal a change
in the cabinet will soon take place. The immc-
date cause Of the difficulty which creates the
explosion, is the smuggling through the Trcu-
sury Department and procuring the payment of
4 LARGE claim in which member OF the cabi-
net lal an interest. The nature Of the claim
and Of the Transaction vii! be ana arstood bv the
following article from the Milwaukee Free De-
m0crat;
TuE Calm CL1iI.-TLis was on old claim

E1,ss by thc state Of Georgia Wia her wild lands
to the Fed aral Goyorrment,--not admitted by

fill and paid. Amount of claim $4,000. The
Secretary, Mr.. Crawford asked interest on the
claim from 773 amounting 10 $4,000. Comp
trollor Whitlesey disalluWed it, as contrary to
the principles and uniform practice of the govern
ment. Secretary Meredith took the matter out
of the Comptroiler's hands, referred ii to Attor-
nay General Johnson, who reported in favor Of
the claim, and Nr. Meredith paid it. The New
York Tribune, after giving all the explanations,
sums upthus:
/. Secretary Crawford has direct interest in
the claim.
. This payment OF interest is " an innovation
upon the general usage of the Department"
8. 1t was rejected y the proper auditing officer
under the present administration, and finally
passed over his head by an order Of the present
Secretary Of the Treasury, based upon an opin-
ion Of the Attorney General.
The Tribune condemns The proceeding deci-
dedv. and SAYS unless it can be cleared Up, it
is moral. y impossible that the cabinet should re-

A telegraohic despatch received to-lay.sneaks
of row in the Senate. on the 18th yesterday
We cannot give particulars and only very brief
general statement. Benton had made some re-
marks in regard 10 the admission of California.

ply Benton became unduy excited and throw
ing aside his chair, advanced towards Foote.
Dodge OF Wisconsin, intorposed, and endeavored
to arrest the progress of Benton, but he was
overcome and the latter still advanced.
Foote then drew a pistol and cooked it, and
held himself in readiness to fire. The Sergeant
alarms was called for, and Senators throwing
themselves between the parties prevented col
lsion. Benton loudly denounced Foote as an
assassin; and throwing open his vest, called up
on the scorn Irel to fire, saying, g carry no
arms!" The Vice President at length succeed
ed in restoring comparative order Fooe then
arose and attempted to explain. stating, amepg
other things, that the canse OF his having fire.

attack, and had deemed it proper to prepare him
self. The Vice President required him to tate
his seat; when, OF motion of Mr. Dodge. COM:
m'teo Of seven was appointed to investigate and
report in reference to the subject. The most in

u Michigan has fairly backed out of the posi-
ton she took year since with reference to the
proyiso. She now resolves, that having full
confidence in her Senators, they are at liberty to
DO as they plea Sc on this nnt or in other words
as her Senators do no, ,ish TO 90 for the proyi-
so, therefore they need not. 1t has been very
common thing for Legislatures to instruct their
Senators, but we believe this is the first instance
on record, where Senators have instructed the
Legislature: and that such has been the case in
this instance, is very apparent. Candidly, we
do not think Michigan occupies very onviablo
position, in view Of this recent demonstration.
She declared herself in favor of the proviso
Why? Because it was necessary to keep slavery
out oftho new territories. She does not profess
to have received any new light on the subject
but she is now willing to have the new territories
organized without the proyiso, and of necessity is
willing that slavery may 90 into the new terrific
ries. And the osteusible motive of all this is, to
conCiiiate the southern states and save the union
This is specimen of remarkably easy virtue.
In our humble judgment a union that can be sa-
we'd OIL at the expense of integrity and correct
principle, is not worth saving; and republican
governmeni,whcre the majority are ready to yield
their conscientious convictions Of right to the
threats and dictation Of an nsolcnt minority, is a
very dough-laced sort of repubcaEism, that
won't justify much trouble to preserve it. The
Union, as we understand ii, is not for the mere

it. OiI-cIoth comes nextin order. Wool

alum and the suIphale Of copper. These
TWO substances should be used in about
equal quantities. The cloth should be
