In this country Is the most prep0sterous nom
sense conceivable. Nevertheless, those who
seem to make trade of "stufdng'' the igno.
rant and gullible at the North with bupaboo
stories concerning the "infernal South" are
evidently bent on doing smashing business
in the way of making anti-slavery political
capital out of this particular roorback. Here
and there there may be, half daft person who
has argued himself into the belief that its
70 establishment would be wise and proper.
But we venture to affirm, on very good general
knowledge of Southern sentiment, that not one
southern voter in five thousand dreams of such
a thing-certainly not single man who holds
position in politics with either party ct the
South. It is far moro likely to become fa-
vorite idea with specializing men at the North,
than with any person in tho South, capable
Of giving the slightest tone to public opinion
there. sz

THE New NAVY BILL.-rhe bill for the re-

resentative from this district is chairman will os

will also establish rate of paying sailors, which
shall act as bounty on good conduct.
Zone of the best features of the whole bill
however, which will breathe II new spirit into
our navy, is that section of it which requires
conduct list of the boys to be kept, and annually
TO be submitted to the President for the selection
of five of them for education at the national ma
Wy school at Annapolis, to be afterwards promo

The tragic end of DR.. Gardner terminates one
of the longest, most expensive and important
criminal prosecutions TO which the federal Gov
eminent has ever been a party. Two or three
commissions have been sent from this country
far into the interior of Mexico, for the purpose of
examining the reputed locality of the mines for in
jury to which he claimed and was allowed a very
large indemnity; and numbers of persons from
that country have been brought to Washington
to testify in the cause. The Court have been oo-
cuped several months, in all, in hearing the eyi.
denee and arguments, and the result, our rea-
ders are appraised, a verdict of guilty, From
the testimony which we have seen, we feel no
doubt of the justice of that finding. The sud
den end of the unhappy oulprit-w whether by self
destruction or the on-eoming of u doom that
he could not avert invests the case with an inter
est beyond the ordinary processes and issues of
penal justice. In another column we give the
particulars, so far as they have yet been made
public. The Washington Globe aserbes hi
death to the of stryehnnc---a post norton
examination will develope the truth.

gave way for a motion 10 adjourn"
We have seen no full report of Mr. Glayton.s
speech. and cannot therefore say with certainty
what his position was. We presume however,
from his nllusion To fatal defects IN the bill,
tbat notwithstanding his desire to relieve the
south of the iniqutous geographical diserlmina-
,iou agaipst it, institutions he voted against tho
bin. We confess ourscves mablc to appreciate the
character of any objection 10 the bill that in the
scales of an impartial Judgment could outweigh
the attainment OF 50 great and just AN object as
the removal Of the Missouri restriction and the
restoration Of equality TO the States.

In the debate on the Tax Bill in the House of
Delegates, Mr.. Martz gave facts 10 show that
there would be no surplus in the treasury, the
present and next fiscal year. as some members
seem to think. He did not believe there would
be single dollar in the public treasury at the end
OF the fiscal year of 1855. Mr.. Garnett said
the Auditor informs that there was a sur
plus at the end of the last fiscal year of 1920, 600
in the treasury. Mr.. c., however had no doubt
that there would be deficit of at least $500, 900
in the public treasury at the end of the next two
fiscal years. We hope these gentlemen may both
be mistaken.

FIRST MARRIAGE or GEoRGElN .-The Princes
passion Mrs. Ftzherhert, according to Lord
Hollands Memoirs, was very strong before they
were united. We are told that he frequently came
to converse with Mr.. and Mrs. Fox on the subject
that he cried by the hour, that he testified the sim
ccrity and violence of his passion and his despair
by the most cXtrayagant expressions and actions
rolling ON the floor, striking his forehead tearing
his hair, falling into Mysteries, and swearing that
he would abandon the country forcgo the crown,
sell his jewels and plate, and scrape together
competence to fly with the object of his affections
to America.
Mr.. Fox in December, l7s5,wrote to the Prince
to dissuade him from his union, pointing out the
consequences wich must ensno from such step.
The Prince replied in letter, beginning My
dear Charles" and assured Mr. Fox that he might
make himself easy on that matter, and that 1.-The
world will nlw soon be convinced that there not
only Is, but never was, any grounds for these
ports, which of late have been so inadvertently cir
culated.' With respect to the performance of the
ceremony, we are told that it was the Princes
ownearnest and repeated solicitations, not at Mrs.
Fitzherhert's request. that any ceremony was re-
sorted to. She knew it to be invalid in law, she
thought it nonsense, and told the Prince SO. 1t
was performedby an English clergyman. A GER
tfcate was signed by him, and attested by two
witnesses, both Roman Catholic gentlemen, and
II near relation of Mrs. Fitzherbert, Mr.. Err
rington.
