The News.
Our telegraphic columns, this morning, abound
With highly interesting and important matter from
N sections Of the American continent. The synop-
is Of the speech Of Judge Mason on non-interven-
zion in the Senate is of especial interest. IT will
be observed that the Virginia Senator strongly
favored Mr. Clarke's resolutions, and was strongly
opposed to the impoltc resolutions Of Acssrs Case
and Seward He also took his State rights ally
from Louisiana, Mr. Soule, to task, for doubling
whether Washington intended his non-intervention
policy to be permanent. He went over the whole
ground, and proved from documents, speeches. his
tory, &C., that non-interferenee in the affairs Of
foreign nations the only true policy for this
government to pursue
The combined attempt Of the Southern rights
and free coil members Of the House Of Representa-
yves to revive the slavery agitation. met with
signal rebuke Monday. Mr.. Jackson, one Of
the two Southern rights gentlemen from Georgia,
had taken especial pains to introduce a reso-
Internationally manufactured by a Michigan
abolitionist-which declared that the compromises
Of the constitution were sufficiently binding, and
simply deprecating the agitation growing out of
the compromise of the last Congress. To this reso-
luton, after very exciting debate, an amend
nent, originally drawn up by Mr.. Polk, of Tenn,
was appended, in which the compromise Of the last
Congress was declared to be Q final settlement Of
al difficulties therein embraced, and should be
maintained and executed MS such. This amendment
vas passed by vote Of enc hundred to sixty-hve
This is an overwhelming triumph for the Unionists
The names Of those who voted against the second
resolution will be found in the proceedings II is q
remarkable fact that the sixteen Southcrnere who
voted against it are State rights men, and the
nander are nearly, if not ALL free soilers aboli-
tionists Of the most incorporating stamp. 1t is
curious to observe the maneuvres Of these factions
What will be their next move!
After long debate in the House yesterday, the
vote by which the bill to promote discipline in the
navy was defeated, was re-considered. Two or
three substitutes offered, and the subject was
chen postponed The announcement that under the
existing law, being the act Of 1900, punishment
can be inflicted Of far more severe character than
under the law which lately repealed, appears to
have brought our Congressman to their senses on
this subject. According to the act now actually
in force, any punishment, from putting refractory
sailor in irons to hanging him by the neck, may be
inflicted. debate on the free farm bill wound up
the days proceedings.
Quite excitement was created in the State
Senate yesterday, by the refusal Of the Commission
crs Of Emigration to furnish certain information
called for by the Medical Committee Of the former
body. The Commissioners, it appears, do not nc
knowledge the right Of those who created their Of
fee to pry into their affairs. Perhaps the worthy
Commissioners would very much dislike to have nm
investigation and exposition Of all their official trans
actions. Which party will gain the victory remains
TO be seen long discussion took place the
question Of incorporating the Irish steamship
companies 1t is strange that the Senate cannot
get rid Of these steamers in some wsy. Much
time has been spent in their consideration than
the subject is worthy Of. Several gubcnatoral ap-
pointmsnts were confirmed, and many were rejected.
Governor Hunt is certainly very porssvering; he
continues to return 10 the Senate which have
already been rejected three or four times. Nume-
rous bills, mostly of an unimpsrtant character, were
passed by the Assembly. From the style in which
both houses hurying along the work, it Is not
probable any time will be wasted in unnecessa-
~ debates prior to the adjournment.
Our Albany correspondents announce that the
case Of the Canal Auditor has been placed on the
calendar, and will shortly be finally decided in the
Court Of Appeals. TIE Albany Common Council
has agreed to issue one million OF bonds for the
benefit of the Albany and Susquehanna railroad.
