House Of Representatives

On motion of Mr.. KING, of New York, the
House took up for consideration the report
Of the Select Committee on the Gardiner
claim.
Mr.. KING explained the provisions of the
bill to prevent frauds on the Treasury,
which was reported by the Committee.
Mr.. OLDs addressed the House to show
that the Committee had not exonerated
Mr.. Corwin from the alleged connexion
with the claim, but that they had fully ex-
culpated himself from the charge Of SLAM
dering Mr.. Corwin.
The House then went into Committee of
the Whole on the state of the Union, and
Mr.. MARSHALL, of CAL, addressed the
committee upon the foreign exigencies Of
the country.

Cabinet Nj aking.

The shrewd Concord IN. H. correspond
ent Of the New York Herald, thus dis
courseth on Gen. PIERCE and his cabinet:
''Since his election, Gen. Pierce's bust
ness engagements have called him to Boston
nearly every week. There, no doubt, he
has met, at various times, prominent demo-
cratic politicians, with whomhe has advised
on the subject of cabinet and other appoint
ments. Of the number who have thus con-
suited with him, it is probably that each of
the large and most conspicuous States
which gave him their votes have had full
hearing, in turn. New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio-particularly the two frst-have
been fully represented on several occasions,
and listend to with great patience. 1t
would seem that the South has been very
retiring, and deperted itself with great
modesty in the matter Of appointments. 1
cannot learn of any very distinguished
politician from that quarter having visiting
Yankeedom, on the cabinet making business,
until the advent, last week, of Senator
Hunter, of Virginia"
Every body here is as much in the dark
with regard to the new Cabinet as the peo-
pie of Concord are. But still, when the
names are announced, some of the wise-acres
of Washington will be the first to cry out {:
''There ! l told you so 70 Told US so? of
course they did.

formation has been received of the rendi-
ton of an award by Louis Napoleon, in the
matter of the celebr ated claim made by our
government against that of Portugal, for
indemnifcation for the loss of the American
privateer General Armstrong, in 1914, and
which a,oard has been adverse to the claim,

REc1PRocITY.-TheM Montreal Pilot notices
and extracts from lecture sOn the Advan-
tages to New England of Reciprocity with
the Canadas, and the British North Ameri-
can Colonies" by Chas. L. Woodbury., esq.
The following we copy from the Pilot:
"Mr. Woodbury. enters with great ability
on an exposition of the question: demon
strates the advantage that would arise to the
manufactures of New England from getting
their coal, lumber, &c., from the British
Provinces, free Of duty, and supplying these
countries with manufactures, also free of
duty, in return and shows the great Access
sion to the commerce of New England that
would be made by the British fisheries be-
ing thrown open to their shipping. The
conclusion at which he arrives is of course
favorable to reciprocity, in his sense of the
term.
cit is to be regretted that our neighbors
should so completely misunderstood the
real question between the two countries.
that they should thus, whilst imagining they
are philanthropically furthering satisfac-
tory settlement, waste their energies in the
discussion of a matter not at al / in contem-
plation. The idea of admitting the manu-
featured products of the United States free
of duty, whilst the manufactures of every
other country contribute to the revenue, is
too preposterous ever to have entered into
the mind of any Cana dian statesman. The
sooner these so-called advocates of recipre-
city are undeceived on this head the better.
Their exertions, indeed, are in one respect
mischievous; they mislead some of our ad-
vocates of reciprocity, or at all events they
are quoted by them as proofs of the people
of the New England States being in favor of
reciprocity, when in truth they are in favor
of a scheme of reciprocity of their own, not
the system proposed by the Canadian
Government"

of Texas, as reported by the Committee on
Finance, was taken up, and it's considera-
ton postponed until Monday next

nation of 900 to Dartmouth College for
the erection of an observatory and the pur-
chase of astronomical and philosophical in
struments; also, $1,000 for the purchase of

posed for the observatory. May not some
liberal donor in New Hampshire furnish this
sum?

The "leading spirit in the foreign anti
slavery movement appears to have been
Her Grace Of Sutherland, the wife of peer
who holds large territories in the North Of
Scotland, obtained by the father of the
present duke by as arrant land-robbery of
peor white men as the history of the times
can furnish.
The editor of the Philadelphia Bulletin,
who has thoroughly examined the antece-
dents of this aristocratic anti-slavery lectu-
rer, says: ''The father Of the present duke
made himself especially conspicuous by the
cruelty with which he evicted thousands of
the poor Highlanders in Sutherland from
little farms which their ancestors had held
for centuries throwing them upon the
world without penny, and turning their
holdings into sheep farms, in order that he
and his heirs might riot in opulence in
London, while they starved in the noun
tains, or died in exile. Nor has the exist
ing duke been innocent in this matter. He
is not only the inheritor, but the actual
partaker, in as gigantic and treacherous a.
scheme of land-robbery as ever was perpe-
trated."
Yet the woman who does not hesitate to
squander millions every year, derived from
from the hard earnings of wronged and
prosecuted tenantry-she whose splendid
equipage, whose sumptuous palace where
this very address was voted, whose costly
plate and elegant jewelry may be literally
called the '.price Of blood" has the brazen
efrontery to catechise American women for
what they had no part in creating.
