Mississippi, the able successor of JEFFERSON
DAVIS, defined his position and that of his party
in Mississippi, on the compromise measures
He did not conclade, but gave way to motion
for adjournment. We shall take great pleasure
in laying his speech before our readers as soon
as we can obtain an authorized version. Ills
maiden effort fully sustained the high reputation
which he had already acquired in the political
contests of his State. Mr. McRAE is a thorough
going and consistent States Rights man, and will
not dsappoint the expectations of those who
expected strong vindication of those much
abused doctrines at his hands

PHILANTHROPY OR HUMBUG.-Mr. Stanly, of
N. c., has offered resolution in the House of
Representatives on the 18th instant, directing
that - thousand dollars be placed at the dis
posal Of the President for the relief of the Hun
garian exiles, who are represented to be in a
starving condition in New York Gen. Cass
and MIR. Seward are in fair way to be beaten
at their own game, and if they would not have
their claims to the foreign vote in the next Pres
dentia race entirely overshadowed, they must
head Mr.. Stanly with better bid. They have
now but one resort, and that is to vote every
immigrant who honors this great country with
his presence, home ready furnished with a
wife and children, and all the Ell ceteras of CON-
Portable citizenship Mr.. Stanly's magnanmity
was rebuked by a vote of 46 to 1876

viting public attention to it,
| CIRCULAR LETTER,
| To all Associations at The South for The benef
| Of Seamen, and 10 all other persons interested
an The Sedmen's cause.
In view of the fact that many churches anc
individuals at the South, friendly to the relig
ious and social Improvement OF seanen as d
class, are reluctant 10 cooperate with the Amer
lean Seamen's Friend Society (however deserv-
ing of patronage il may intrinscally be) and
that, in consequence Of this wide spread feeling
the seamen's cause at the South has long and
grievously suffered the Port Society OF Charles
ton ). & has for many years contemplated the
proprlety OF consulting other societies, similarly
engaged aud experiencing like difficulties, on
the subject of attempting to unite all friends OF
the cause from Baltimore to New Orleans, III a
Southern Seamen's Friend Society analogous
to that in the city Of New folk
| Confident of your agreeing with us, that The
work to be accomplished for seamen, in our
Southern ports, demands wider extension and
more efficient system, and that eople in the
interior Of each of our States will contribute
more heartily to an institution whose seat OF
operations is at the South, beg leave, in the
name of the Charleston Port Society, and by
their authority, to submit to you the following
enquiries:
Do you concur with us in supposing that the
formation of Southern Seamen's Friend Soc-

men, from Baltimore to New Orleans, shall be
invited to become auxiliary, which shall adopt a
xf ,ta1 IN int. IN,

the coast, which shall originate societies where
they are needed and strengthen them whore they
are feeble, and which shall be capable Of extend
ing its operations indefinitely, as a wise Provi
dence may open the door for usefulness is ad
visabe!
Is it agreeable TO you that convention Of
delegates from all societies for amelioraing the
condition Of seamen, existing along our Sou'h-
ern coast, be invited as rs possible, to meet
at some time and place most convenient, for the
purpose of adopting the necessary rules and of
appointing the proper { Ulcers!
am authorized to suggest to you the city of
Charleston as the place, and the middle of May
next as the time, for this convention. Ii this
suggestion does not meet your views, will you
please specify such time and place as may APP
pear to you more suitable. Should there be too
great diversity in the various proposals. to pro-
mote speedy adjustment, are you willing to
invest the executive committee of this Port So
ciety with discretionary power to arrange the
details?
Please reply at your earliest convenience adj
dressing, yours very respectfully.

NY The Albany Argus thus refers to the
KossuTH resolutions passed by the senate OF
that State
The resolutions of Mr.. Congor, which passed
the senate in a carefully dissected form, were
yesterday disposed of in the house, by rejecting
the entire series except the resolution inviting
Kossuth to visit the capital as the guest of the
State, which was unanimously concurred in.
On motion of Mr.. Lucky of New York, q
committee was Immediately ordered, to report
to the house, resolutions on the subject of in.
tervention, as calculated and indicated by Kos.
suth.
The separation of the resolution of invitation
from those on the subject of Intervention, was
the result of general desire to secure for the
resolution of invitation the unanimous voice OF
the egisature-esving the other points EN-.
braced in the resolutions, and in regard to which,
there was contrariety Of views, for future and
separate consideration.

We have lately published several letters on

hope that none of our readers will be deferred
by their length from their perusal. They are

trine. They present just and forcible view Of
this new issue. and we shall avail ourselves of
the earliest opportunity to lay them before our

that the bridge, rs an obstruction to navigation.

no obstruction to the smoke pipes and mssts of
the river craft. There are propositions before
the Pennsylvania legislature to withdraw this
suit In vewof this fact there may yet be some
compromise in the matter, perhaps, ms il is only

1.-The New York and Galway Steamship Com
pany, whose proposals were brought to the at
tenton of the United States Senate, the othe,
day, by Senator Stockton, arctic COZ sst Of -four
first class ocean steamships, Of not less than two
hundred tons measurement, of the approved
American clipper model, with all the modern i'm
proyements for speed, safety, and comfort IL
passengers; to run from Jersey city, State OF
New Jersey, ard port of New York to Galway
IN Ireland, making st. Johns, Newfoundland a
port OF call on the completion of the l.iegrai h
TO that port
The distance from st. Johns TO Galway is
but ,647 miles, or five and a half days running
time for fast steamer. Galway and St Johns
are the nearest ports between the two cont.
nents, and by this route the telegraph news
from London to New York and New Orleans
can be carried in less lgan six days, and the
mails and passengers to New York in les, than
ten days"
Commenting on these remarks, the CONNER
ciat adds:
This is indeed the age of improvements, but
wa were not prepared for the intelligence con-
tnined in the above paragraph. True, there is a
submarine telegraph from Dover to Calais, a
distance Of not less than tw eDty. five miles, but
the distance from st Johns to Halilaxis five hun
dred miles, all OF which telegraphic communi-
cation must be obtained by an under water line
OF wires. When this is completed, we see no
difficulty in continuing the line to Galway, by
which we shall have direct Geographic COM
mupicatlOn With London.
There is ne objection to The Newfoundland
route which has not been men,ioned--the preva.
lerce of fogs, which makes the barber of ST.
Johns difficult TO enter"

statement Of all the cases of seizure and tonfs
