There seems TO be difference Of opinion in
regard to General JAMES. The Newport .Ne,cs
says that he is free trade Locofoco, and
thus comments on the recent extraordinary re-
suit Of the Senatorial election:
Rhode Island has been almost thoroughly
Wing, all over, ever since August, 1887, when the
Hon Robert B.Cranston defeated the late Hon. Dutee
j. Pearce, by nearly one thousand majority. The
Wings have had the entire control of every thing,
except when, through the traitorous conduct of q
few leaders in iS45, Benjamin b.. Thurston, a
Locofoco, was elected to Congress from the West
ern district. The regular candidates have always
been elected by the people, except when Governor
Fenner, the regular Law and Order nominee of the
convention for Governor, was defeated in lS45 by
Charles Jackson, through the fundamentally Of
James +. Simmons and few others, in the north
part of the State; and in lS46, when there was no
election by the people, in consequence of the in
trigues of the same men who produced the mischief
in 1S<5.
"Thus the Wings have held the power in this
State for the last fourteen years; and, even now,
when as strong as ever, with sufficiently large
majority to do any thing, portion ofthose calling
themselves Wings have permitted free trade
Locofoco to be elected Senator in Congress.
And what is more, some of them have assisted in
electing him. The Locofocos have thirty five
votes on joint ballot; consequently, fifteen Wings
voted or James, and secured his election.

Mr.. sumner,s Chances.

A correspondent of the Lawrence Mass
Courier, writing from Salem, presents view
of the mods opcrandi among the friends of
Mr.. SUMNER, which leads us to fear that De-.
mocratic flesh and blood will not be able to
Withstand the inducements" and "equiva-
lents." We begin to fear that Mr.. SUMNER
will be elected, and will dishonor the Senate of
the United Statskby presenting in his person
the most shameless subject Of bargain and sale
extant, except possibly Mr.. R,NrouL. But
read what the correspondent of the Courier
writes:
Gin the mean time, the most scandalous appli-
ances are being brought to bear upon these recrc-
ant Democrats, to secure their votes or their no.
sence. One gentleman is to have the register of
probate's Office another is to have the skerifTalty
host Of others to be deputies; and there is no
end to the esquireships that are to be made. Not
only the possible, but the impossible is offer
ed for votes for Mr.. Sumner. Even the registry Of
deeds, Office elected by the people at large, is
offered for one vote. do not suppose Mr.. Bout
well is party to these offers but these are the in
duccmcnts held out by the individual partisans Of
MIR. Sumner, and no'doubt they expect, if they sc
cure the VOTE to be able to get up an influence to
secure the appointments offered.
"a fine beginning, this. powerful influence
Mr.. Summer will be able to exert against the i'm
moral practices Of slavery, when his very Office
shall be owing to the most corrupt bribery to be
found in the annals Of politics. high moral in
huence Mr.. Sumner will have among the corrupt
representatives (so calIed) of slavery at Washing
ton when he goes there the representative of bar
gain and sale ofthe rights and morals Of the people,
the embodiment Of the conscientious principles and
scruple of New England Abolitionism!

LocUsT YEAR.-The seventeen year locusts will
appear this year in all those parts of Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Delaware, embraced
in the following boundaries: commencing at the
Delaware river, near Germantown, Pennsylvania;
thence scuthwesterly to the Blue Ridge of the Al
leghany mountains along the east side Of the ridge
TO Loudoun and Fauquier counties, Virginia;
thence easerly through portion Of Fairfax across
the Potomac above Georgetown, through Montgo-
merry and upper portion Of Anne Arundel counties
Maryland, 10 the Patapsco along the north side of
the Patapsco TO the Chesapeake bay; thence TO
Hayre de-Grace, through 90 Cecil county, and
Delaware to the Delaware river; up the west side
of that river 10 the beginning. These boundaries
nearly correct, as they appeared IN 1884 though
they may now vary. The locust will certainly ap-
pear on the south side of the Patapsco at least IN
small numbers, as, during the breeding season in
1884, great numbers blown over the river by
high wind that prevailed in the height OF that sea-
con. In Fauquer county Virginia. also, this district
Iaps over another district for. several miles, and
though the locusts will appear this year on the
strip Of territory thus doubly occupied, yet they
appeared on the same place in 1913, and will APP
pear there again in 1860, thus appearing alternate
in eight and nine years. Over the whole OF the
large tract Of country embraced in the above boun-
will begin to leave the ground about the 10th OF
Nav few DAYS earlier or later, according TO the
weather. From the LIST 70 the 10th Of April, their
chambers may be uncovered by simply shavinR of
an inch or two of the surface soil with spade IN
INV nIace where trees or shrubbery stood in 1884.
They will resemble small augur holes, two to four
inches apart: and the grub or larva may now DC
found by digging foot or two deep IN the same

MIR. buchanan.

One Of the Democratic journals of the North
in its Washington correspondence, thus enlight,
ems us as TO one of the laudable efforts OF Mr..
BUCHANAN in visiting Washington. tits init
mated in other quarters that he is engaged in
attempting to adjust the outstanding and unset
tied difficulties between Messrs. BLAIR and
RrvEs and Mr.. RIroHIE. We should not ne
surprised if he were apprehensive that some~
thing might be divulged that would embarrass
the various present Presidential aspirants who
were in Mr.. PoLK's cabinet.
If the statement of the Democratic CORE
spondent from whom we quote is correct, and Mr.
BUCHANAN was really seeking get a little some
thing for Pennsylvania, what deadly blow was
struck at him in the Union, by publishing Mr..
Walkers reputation of the whole movement
on the very day that the vote was to be taken on
Mr.. STRoNe's amendment to the Deficiency bill!
1t happens, as we have already had occasion
to remark, that Mr.. BUCHANAN never favors us
with visit that the Union does not assal him
with the most seeming innocence in the world.
But to our extract from the New York Post
MIR. Buchanan is on the ground adjusting the
terms between the protectionsts and the 'judcious
tariff men, 1t is the general belief that he has
hoored Cass in Pennsylvania, and now holds in his
hands, much fixed capital, her iron, coal, and
spinning jennies He urges the necessity of doing
something for those interests, as he is conscious
that he drew pretty heavy draft upon his own
credit with the Pennsylvanians when he rallied
them upon Polk, Dallas, Texas, and the tariff of
1872 He, therefore, ia lobbying with his friends
for little relief to Pennsylvania. Y"

STRONG GAME.-A man named Henry NJ
Watson, alias John H. Woodbury.. alias Governor
Dorr, has just been arrested at Boston and con.
vcyed to New York on a charge of swindling a
Mr.. Baker, in the city Of Mexico, out Of gold
watch and other valuables. The New York TI-
btns describes game that this chcvalier and some
of his confederates in the habit of playing in
the city of New York, which is amusing and in
structvc. The Tribune says
Watson, alias Woodbury., alias Governor
Dorr,' who 10 now in the Tombs. was one of a rang
of petty gamblers and robbers who hang about the
lower order Of gambling houses. He was also a
hack-drivcr, and as such notorious for his
swindling tricks upon travellers. He also belonged
to gang Of thieves, pckpockets, and pocket book
troopers, who nightly congregated at house in
RcadQetreet. Here they held a mock court, and
complete was the deception that those who were
arraigncd before il never suspected its legality
Watson and his associates would arrest country
men in the streets, or on the docks, for some al
legged violation of law, take them TO their court,
fine them, and with an admonition dischar 20 them.
On one occasion man thus arrested was rather
ndecorous in his manners, and Yas fined fifty dol
lars for contempt Of court and 4 haliy paid IT, All
money thus obtained vas divided among the par
tics composing the court, who, in their sturn
dropped the most Of it at the faro banks and kim

In our last we referred to the extraordinary
fact that, in the late division OH the question
of modifying the present revenue laws, there
were found opposed to any such measure many
OF the Representatives Of States and districts
largely interested in maintaining that competi-
ton, in the production Of iron, that is ndispen-
sable TO the permanent supply Of good and
cheap commodity, thus lending their aid for
efiecting the suppression of the manufacture
among ourselves, and the re-establishment of
the power Of England, as the monopolist Of the
supply Of iron to the world; the consequence Of
which must inevitably be great rise of price,
resulting from increase Of demand, as their
roads are being made, and diminution of supply
as our furnaces are gradually closed.

The World,s Fair.

Mr.. Stansbury, the agent Of the United States
Central Committee for the Worlds Fair, has hand
ed us the following timely notice, which we pub
lish for the benefit of the public:
To EXHIBITORS AT THE LONDON FAn.-The
undersigned, having been appointed by the Central
Committee for the United States to receive and re-
cep for the articles shipped by the "St. Lawrence"
inform the exhibitors that he ia now prepared to
furnish bills Of ading for all goods which have been
received at the Navy Yard. He can be found at
the Astor House between the hours of 9 and IL a.
IN. and and 10 p. m.
Goods will be received at the Navy Yard up to
the latest possible moment
The attention of exhibitors is called to the fol-
lowing regulation Of the British Commissioners:
"All goods which forwarded to England will
remain deposited in charge of the customs, until
claimed by an agent Of the party sending them,
who will have to establish his right to remove Thorn
to the building, by producing the bill of lading
and the certificate given to the exhibitor by the
central authorities in each country that such goods
are intended for exposition

England.

We apprehend that the Albion newspaper is
something too sensitive. Naturally enough,
its sympathies are more involved than ours
with England; but it should not use such
gross term as % libel' in connexion with any
thing thatwe have said in regard to our father
land. JOHN BULL has his peculiarities, no
less than Brother JONATHAN, and we must be
permitted to comment on them with entire
freedom, though in perfect friendship. Ii is
true enough that we. are opposed to the policy
which would yield to Great Britain monopoly
Of manufacturing for the world, or an undis-
puted supremacy of the seas. We would not
have our mines and our mills closed, that Bir-
mingham and Manchester may supply us with
hardware and fine cottons; nor would we sur
render to British enterprise or British policy
the palm of ocean navigation. We would
struggle to prevent the triumph Of Great Brit
ain in either field of power; but all this is not
inconsistent with sincere admiration Of her
greatness, her. civilization, and her renown.
We shall have more particular word for our
contemporary in day or two.

AN OCEAN RAcE.-The question of the relative
speed Of American and British clippers is about to
be tested, provided John Bull will accept the gage
thrown down.
The arrival of the Oriental at London after very
short passage produced some newspaper remarks.
in which the assertion was ventured that an Eng.
lish clipper could DO built which would beat her on
any tack with case. The Union Club and some
large ship-owners Of New York have now started
subscription of 100000, to build clipper cost
ing that sum, to sail from from Liverpool to New
York and back with any similar vessel built in
England, and on the completion of the voyage both
ships are to belong to the winning party. The
subscriptions already exceed $4,000, and will be
full in few days The New York Tribune says il
John Bull accepts then builders will at once be set
at work

that begin in total abnegation ofall political hon
ssty; reforms, by party or parties that openly
disregard the common maxims of that morality
without which the State cannot exist for single
year!
"if these things can be done without provoking
universal gufac Of Indignation from the people,
let US hear nothing more of the intelligence, the
high moral and religious character Of Massachu-
sets, for they are but sounding under which
to practice the deeds of hypocrisy, corruption, and
darkness! More anon"
Ii is stated that a 50 history of the coalition
from the Locofoco side of the house is forth
coming. We shall see whether il picks any
holes In that part Of General WILSON'S state
ment wherein he undertakes to prove breach
of pllghted faith on the part of the Democrats
who refuse to vote for Mr.. SUMNER.

The MARRIAGE Relationship celebrated En-
glish writer, Addison, has left on record the follow
ing important sentence:
"Two persons who have chosen each other out of
all the species, with design to be each others mu
tual comfort and entertainment, have in that ac-
ton bound themselves to be good humored affable
forgiving, patient, and joyful with respect to each
others frailtes and imperfections, to the end of
their lives"
The above paragraph we copy from an ex-
change paper. 1t strikes us that what is true
ofindividuals, in the most intimate of personal
relations, is true also of confederated States in
their political connexions. When they have
agreed to live together, with an ante-nuptia
compact we submit that they are not only bound
to abide by the letter of their understanding.
but to live up to its spirit. If they will insist
on flinging their mutual " frailties and imper-
fections" in each others teeth, sooner or later
they will begin to entertain the notion of d.
v0rce. There are some views i'm one of Sir
WILLIAM ScorT's judgments, on the manner in
which the marriage relation ought to be sus-
tanned, that are quite as german to the present
subject as the observations of ADpIsoN-and

contains it we will reprint it, for the benefit OF

"The Presidents message, a. the opening of the

plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin

measures should be regarded in principle as
final settlement of the dangerous and exciting

= were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ

opinions, and that therefore they should be adj
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation TO
guard against evasion abuse. That opinion, 90

will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
