YOU.fAys ON ALCOHOL.

The end of all controversy is substantial agreement
through the communication 70 each disputant and his
hackers of all the facts known to the other, so as
to morally constran him TO adopt juster conclusion
than til he rested in while his knowledge of the sub
ect was partial and limited. A controversy between
two persons equally and fully master of the subject
contested would be absurd unless its ayowea object
were the enlightenment of others. And, practically,
we may assume that controversy is ended whenever
one party takes positioR asserts that as fact which
necessarily involves the justice OF his cause and the
other party evades or fails to meet it.
Now the advocates of Total Abstinence and Liquor
Prohibition have for years affirmed that AitohOt IS a
Poison-an insidious, unremitting deadly Poison

the adversary begins to talk of discriminating between

Intoxicating Liquors do not merely sOmaimes nure

Alcohol is no poison or show why our conclusion from
tie fact that it is not inevitable. In default Of
your doing either, must ask that judgment be re-

In the Senate, yesterday, numerous petitions were,
as usual, presented and appropriately referred. Mr.
GwIN, from the Committee on Naval Affairs reported

Government of six naval Steam Frigates. The Com
mttee on Foreign Relations discharged from the
consideration of the bill providing for the claims arts
ing out of the French spolatons and the bill referred

duced the Joint resolution of which be gave previous
notice, authorizing the President to confer the rank of
Lieut.. General by brevet, upon WINFIELD SCOTT,
which was referred Mr.. CHASE introduced bill d.
vidiDg Ohio into two judicial Districts. Mr.. SEWARD
offered resolution that the Committee on the Judi
cary inquire whether, consistently with the Consti
tuition provision can be made for referring causes in
sttuted according to the course Of common law to re-
ferees, and whether such provisions, if they should
be cOnstitutionally made, would be e1pedient The
Senate then adjourned.
In the House of Representatives several cOmmuni-

The proprietor of The National Era announces the
publication of that journal daily as soon as the neces
sary arrangements can be made. He already rejoices
in circle of readers far extensive than any other
paper in Washington and need ask no better fortune
for his new enterprise than he has already achieved
Tie Nctiona Era is one Of the most interesting aHd
able papers in the country, and yields temperate and
benefcent influence in behalf of democratic ideas and
the great cause of freedom. On all Questions we
are sure to find The Era on the side Of virtue and Of
human rights; and the Independent thinker who may
differ from it on any subject be that he will
presently find himself fighting along with it in some
ether part of the battle. Besides, there is reason to
welcome the establishment of daily paper at Wash

or any party TO buy I'D Success to the undertaking.

One of the most singular features exhibited by the
Senate at its present session is the construction of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs with Mr. Mason at its
head ard Mr. EVERETT at It's tail Mr.. Mason is a
clever man. but has special qualifications, either OF
ability or knowledge, which should put him in that
position while Mr.. EVERETT adds to a mature aud
powerful mind more varied universal and minute ac-
0uantance with tie laws, history aud policy of the
different countries of the world than perhaps any other
living statesman Certainly there is no public man in
England, not excepting Lord Pamerston, Sir John
Russell, Mr.. Macaulay, who is so accomplished IN
all the learning proper for minister or legislator on
international affairs, is the shallow and brilliant
Theirs or the grave and plausible GuizOt to be com
pared with him in this respect.
Such being the case there has been some reason for
condemning the action of the Senate in the form
alton of this Committee, bat circumstance
brought to light by The National Era indicates that Mr.
EvERETT has after all been treated quite well as he
deserves II seems that he was determined the ex u
sion of Senator SUMNER his own colleague, from all the
Committees ofthe Senate, and that when Mr.. SEWARD
proposed the nomination of that gentleman to some
Committee by the Wing Caucus DIR EVERETT opposed
and defeated the proposition. Such gratuitous display
of party spirit toward Senator whose character, tat
ents and learning alike entite him to the respect of the
public ard above all of every son of Massachusetts,,
merted punishment from some source, and as such
this subaern station in the Foreign Committee may be
taken Certainly it is not by such jealous and unnany
policy as that pursued in this instance by Mr. EVERETT
that the appreciation the American people can be Sc
cured Meanness and narrowness no less repusive

States always conciated by petty acts of subservency

Mr. BoURcicAULr, in his lecture on Tuesday eve.
ming, gave us some stereotyped views respecting III,
unftness of Woman for various occupations. Ths
Epsshman is the last that should speak st all di,
par,gingly of Woman's capacity. If woman is con.
sidered fit for a Sovereign, we presume all lo,,l
Engshmen think Victoria is, it is hardly worth Will,
to be ndustriously running through the long Ia, Of
human cmpOyments, carefully discriminating for which
she is competent and for which she is moi. Ualsm
Enelishmen are willing to choke Victoria from her
throne N derison, let them say nothing in derogaou
of the shopkeeping and boodettng capacities Of her

The Erening Post thus continues the argamentin the
case OF Marcy rs Mitchell:

Mr. Marcys language applies only to those restless
and reckless spirits, who ready on the shgaes

the adventures and sedous propagandists to whom
Mr Marcy alludes, and who does not voluntarily
class himself with them has the least occasion to take
offense at his terms.

prnsnt tenabIe that he should insert these restrictions
If he had not inserted them his position would have been
