EH- After all "the noise and CONFUSION" OF
Wednesdays debate, the resolution OF Mr.
CLINoMAN, instructing the House Committee on
Printing, was permitted to pass by default
without even division. The forces OF the
coalition have been so completely crippled and
killed off that they acted wisely in this master'
" inactivity" We will now shortly see whether
the House is to control its committees, or It's
committees, or a bare majority of any one Of
them, to control IL! The 'higher law point
made by Mr.. BAYLY, would seem to imply
some such act of practical notification on the
cart of the committee. 1t is decidedly pro.
sressiye idea. We have all heard Of State
sovereignty, and many of us Of Sqnatter sover
signty--but did mortal man ever hear before OF
Printing Committee sovereignty, unbouhded
uncomfortable, and irresponsible
Mr.. CLrNGMANs resolution, which was adopt
ed, ia as follows:
: Resolved, That the House Committee or
Printing be, and are hereby, instructed to report
to this House what, if any, arrangement has
been made to have the public printing executed
and If any other than the public printer has
been employed; to report what prices they
have agreed to pay and that the said committee
be instructed to let out such printing as the
present contractor cannot execute, to the lowest
responsible bidder after ten days notice.

al Pocer Of The Pope in Danger.
In the foreign advices lately received. we
have several times spoken of the arrival Of
Prince Canine Bonaparte at Civita Vechis. and
more latterly his return to Paris has been re-
corded, with the statement that the Pope refns-
cd him permission to enter Rome, though he

there, and attend to some private business Ina
correspondent of the New York Times. how.
evei, writing from Turin, April l4lh. puts
more serious aspect on the visit of the Prince
as follows:
wrote, also, that the unexpected visit of The
ex-president Of the Roman assembly. was con.
nected with the future political conduct of the
Prince President of France. The following az.
tonishing fact will fully coroborate nv former
assertions. few days past, Signor Calan.

meat, residing in Turin, read, at the end of
letter apparently addressed to himself from,
Paris, the signature of one of the sons of Prince
Canine, with whom he had never had any ac-
quaintance. But his wonder increased still mora
from the contents of the letter. The writer
announced that his father had been sent n,
Rome by the President of the French reppbl;c
upon a very important mission: and invita3
Signor Caiandrilli 10 start immediately for ps,;.
The reader, after a careful perusal Of the lettar
and of the address, discovered that il was for
the ex-Minister of War of the Roman republic
aud dispatched to him the paper, with prelmn.
airy excuses for The error, resulting from The
identity Of the names. In fact, the Secretary Of
War Of the Roman republic resided in Turin.
and following the advice of the writer, left i'm.
mediately for Paris.
From this fact, which gathered from an Of.
fetal source, aud from various rumors which
circulate in the diplomatic circles, announcing
that Louis Napoleon is on the point of publish

scheme, you may be certain that Plus TX Is vet

HOUSE or REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, May G.

The journal OF Yesterday having been read
Mr.. McLANAHAN asked leave to move tc
take up the Senate bill to change the time Of hold
ing the circuit court in Delaware. The period
for holding this court was near at hand, and al
the same time the supreme court Of Delaware
held its session, consequently the circuit court
could not transact the business which was before
them at that time.
There being no objection
The bill was read the third time and passed
Mr. POLK moved that the House go into Com.
mttee Of the Whole with view of taking up the
homestead bill, which was not agreed to.
Mr.. FREEMAN, by leave, reported various
railroad bills from the Committee on Public Lands
which were referred to the Committee Of the
Whole on the state Of the Union.
THE PRINTING RESOLUTION AGAIN.
The House then resumed the. consideration Of
the resolution Of the Committee on Printing and
the motion Of Mr.. CLrScMAs TO commit the reso-
luton with instructions, under consideration yes
terday, the pending question being on the demand
for the previous question:;
The previous question was seconded and under
the operation thereof, the motion Of Mr.. CLNG.
MAN to commit with instructions was agreed to.
HOMESTEAD BILL.
On motion Of Mr.. POLK, the House then went
into Committee OF the Whole Mr.. HlBBARD, OF
New Hampshire, in the chair,) and resumed the
consideration Of the homestead bill.
Mr.. MOORE, Of Louisiana, moved to strike
out the qualification Of not being worth the sum
Of $50 TO be entitled to the privileges Of the bill,
and spoke Of the crime such provision might
cause persons to commit by taking oath that they
are not worth this sum, when the contrary might
be the fact.
MIR. JOHNSON, Of Tennessee, earnestly called
upon gentlemen 10 refrain moving amendments to
the bill when
The amendment Of Mr.. MooRE was adopted.
Mr.. BEALE moved pro Jorma amendment,
and made some remarks against the constitution
atty Of the bill.
Mr.. SWEETSER followed, and was in favor
Of extending the benefits Of this bill not only TO
the foreigners now resident in this country, but to
those who may come over and file their declara-
ton tobecome citizens OF the United States.

TheatrIeal-Miss Logan.

Every one recolects the excitement which
was created here in the thcatre-gong world, by
some Of Miss DAvEEPoRT's presentations, espe.
cially those of Margaret Eimore and Lady
Teozle. There is a native artist now perform.
ing the same characters at the National Theatre
who, in our judgment, equals Miss DAVENPORT
and who exhibits the highest capacity for the
sphere she has selected. We alude TO Miss
LOGAN, the Star Of the West, who not only
equals, but far surpasses the reputation she has
already acquired. Having witnessed part Of
her performance on Tuesday evening, through
mere accident, we can conscientiously say this,
not being instigated thereto by any solicitations
Of managers or friends. The part in which she
appeared that evening was the difficult one Of
Margaret Elmore in Loves Sacrifice, and she
did it ample justice. This young lady has not
only genius for her profession, but her whole
soul seems TO be in IL; and her conception and
execution Of her part are both admirably true 10
nature.
The talent seems 10 run in the family, for her
sister also exhibits great aptitude for the same
profession, carrying off her performance with a
coquettish grace that is very attractive. They
were very well supported by the company
which is a very good one. Every ndmirer Of
native talent AID Of good acting, should visit
the theatre during Miss LoeAS's engagement.
Those who go once will be apt TO repeat the
experiment.

Disastrous srORn.-The wastern papers con-

on Friday night last, and which caused great
destruction ofproperty. Among other disasters
the town Of Leavenworth, Indiana, was nearly
destroyed. About 30 houses, some Of them
substantial brick buildings with 10 inch walls,
were destroyed by the violence OF the wind. A.
number Of persons were badly injured, and two
or three we're killed. At various other places the
STORM was severely felt, and many houses,

"The Richmond Wing deems the action of

THE War DRUM EccLEsAsrIc THE Hartford
Times says there is a clergyman in Connecticut
who announced before election that he would not
read Governor Seymour's proclamation for a
fast, because the governor was bad man and
was opposed to the Main law. The reverend
gentleman, the. Times says, took it upon himself
to appoint fast for his own congregation, and
fixed upon Monday, the day Of the annual cleo
ton. The object Of this meeting was, he stated,
to pray for the defeat Of Governor Seymour and
the Democrats, and the success Of the Wings and
the Maine Liquor law Unfortunately for him,
but fortunately for the good sense Of his con-
gregation, only three old ladies' and two or three
boys were in attendance.

of allowing manic sell his land SO as to migrate

agreed to.
Mr.. PARKER, OF Indiana, moved 10 strike out

The Montgomery Advertiser and Gazette is
also down on Cass after the following. In what
respect is Cass worse than at the last canvas
when he was the immaculate Magnus Apollo OF
our cotemporary Ill.,.
Says the Advertiser I'LL
"We do not profess to be entirely conversant
with the preference of the people OF Alabama,
and of our delegates to the Baltimore conven-
ton, but we venture to predict that Gen. Cass
will not receive one vote on the first ballot, and
we doubt if under any circumstances he will re-
ceiye single uote from Alabama in the Baltimore
convention. He is the very last choice Of our
party here, and he would only be voted for, u
uoted for al all, as the choice OF evils; and may
the Lord deliver as from such an alternative
AS we have more than once said, the Democracy
are willing TO support Northern man for the
Presidency in the coming contest, but she must
have one upon whom her heretofore unwavering
Democracy can come together and unite in Il
jealous support; Gen. Cass is not that man.
Give us Buchanan, Marcy, Dallas, Dickinson, or
any other equally good and true Democrat, and
we shall be content; but we cannot be Nth Gen
CaSs. We may as well speak plainly upon this
point now Four years ago Gen. Cass could only
carry tIris State by an unprecedented slim major,
ity of seven or eight hundred votes, when even
Mr. Van Buren, had a majority OF near 5000 III
1910, and Mr.. Polk nearly $4,000 in 1874; aud
even this meagre majority was only obtained by
a vigorous denial on the part Of the great body
Of the Democracy Of the State, OF that very
odious construction that Gen. Cass himself
now ruts upon his Nicholson letter. Under
such circumstances, would il not be dangerous
TO nominate him again"

Hon. r. Barnwell Rhett having resigned his seat
in the U. s. Senate "public attention." says the
South CarOiinian, els somewhat drawn as to who
will be the successor Of Hon. r.. Barnwell Rhett.
The appointing power confers delicate duty on
the executive, and we are confident that it will be
discharged with an eye single to the public veal.
South Carolina can furnish many able men for
the Office and therein consts the difficulty in maxi
ing a selection. We have heare the names OF
Col. F. w. Pickens and Hon. w. F. Colcock
spoken Of in connection with the Office, either
OF whm would confer honor and credit on the

Georgia Politics.

The Columbus (Ga) Sentinel, State Rights
paper, that has never wavered in its faith, thus
speaks in All editorial on the late Georgia con.
vention
| We think we see in these movements ray of
hope for the South. There is at least part of
party which prefer consistency, we hope even
their country, to the spells Of office. The
platform upon which they stand is very low,
but, thank God, they stand firmly as yet on it.
We go beyond them in our claims for the South,
fbut we will not be found Indifferent spectators
of fight for Southern rights, even though the
battlefield be on the marshes of the Georgia
platform We confess we prefer men who
claim but little for their country, and insist
firmly on it, to the believing braggart who
grasps after all, but to give up all at the first
reverse.
The Savannah Georgian Democratic thus
speaks:
GEN. CASA member of the late Demo.
cratic convention in Virginia in letter to the
New York National Democrat says !" that it was
observed and remarked upon, that Gen. Cass'
name was not once mentioned. Not that he
did not have friends, bm they mere rery .feo'
Much the same may be said of the late
Democratic convention Of Georgia. We did
not hear single member of it mention Gen.
Cass' name, otherwise than to deprecate his
nomination by the national contention. Out of
upwards Of hundred delegates, we believe
not more than two or three:-if SO many-pre-
ferred him for the Presidency A majority. per-
haps, regarded Mr.. Buchanan as the first choice
of the State, while Judge Douglas had very
many warm friends. And it is worthy Of re-
mark, that Douglas seemed to he the second
Of wifi ,phn Mr. N
was the favorte; and so, on the other hand, the
friends of Mr.. Douglas desire the nomination
of Mr. Buchanan, in case their first choice shall
not be granted.
In relation to the delegates to the national
convention, if there is one of them favorable to
the nomination of Gen. Cass we do not know
