A hostile demonstration by this govern
ment against Holland is thus predicted by a
writer from Washington to the New York
Tribune. We give it for what it may be
worth:
q learn from a reliable source that the
administration contemplate naval demon
stration in the ports of Dutch India, to open
the way for American diplomacy in that
obstinately bigoted country. A demand will
first be made at the principal seaport town
for the payment of the hundred thousand
dollars due to Captain Gibson; and upon a
refusal to pay, the town will be bombarded
But it is not expected that this will be nee
essary the authorities will pay at once un-
der protest, and then the negotiation will be
transferred to Washington-just what the
President desires. The President has no au-
thorty to declare war techically, but he can
resort TO such methods as this to enforce de-
mands. After the settlement Of the affairin
Question, the government intends to send out

Pile. after the fashion of Japan, to forSake

Arrison Sentenced to be Hung.

On Saturday the criminal court of Gin
cinnati was densely crowded to witness the
closing scene in the Arrison trial. Judge
Finn reviewed the points presented in favor
of new trial, and decided that they were
not sufficient to justify the court in granting
the motion.
The prisoner was then called upon to state
Why the sentence of the court should not be
passed upon him. He arose, and spoke for a
few moments. lie did not say he was not
gully, but thought he could prove some of
the witnesses mistaken in some Of their
statements. 1t is our impression that he had
baltcr kept his seat, and said nothing. We
copy the conclusion from the Cincinnati
Gazette:
SENTENCE OF THE COURT.
The judge said he hoped things would
have appeared, which would have explained
away the facts in the case. This was the
last act Of his judicial life, and twas not out
of place to say, that if anything tangible,
giving grounds for a new trial, appeared

AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS FOR TIE RUSSIAN
SERvIcE.-Mr. Roosevelt, a lawyer of New
York, who sailed in the Baltic last week, en-
route for ST. Petersburgh, it is said, is to be
raised TO GancralShip in the Russian army.
Several other Americans, it is reported, went
ont in the Baltic to proceed to Russia. The
New York Sun says:
Mr., Roosevelt has been engaged for the
last two months in sketching the plan and
calculating the cost Of a campaign, all Of
which are reduced to paper, and capable Of
being rolled up into a compass sufficiently
small to enable him to secure it on his per-
son without fear of detection. There are
several persons of standing in this city who
are familiar with the plans, having got their
information from Mr.. Roosevelt. They state
that it is the intention Of the Caar, in the
spring, to open the campaign on the most
formidable foundation, and to carry the war
into Great Britain itself"

MIR. Benton-The Kanzas Question.

NbNNSSAOe.N
Reports from Washington appear to
thicken in confirmation of the report that
Mr.. Benton has taken ground against the
restoration of the Missouri Compromise, in
consequence of an arrangement between the
islature, by which certain favors are TO be
granted to the wings, and the two factions
are to elect Mr.. Benton to the Senate
Several days ago, an intimation of the sort
appeared in the ST. Louis Intelligencer. Mr..
Benton's recent speech against the restora-
tion of the Missouri Compromise gives form
and substance to the report.
We have no hope of the compromise be-
ing restored the present session. although we
are glad that both Mr.. Mace Of Indiana, in
the House, and Mr.. Chase Of Ohio, in the
Senate, have introduced bills to effect it,
The next house of representatives will
contain clear majority Of anti Nebraska
men-a majority who will demand a resto-
ration of the compromise line, and stand by
It, and stick to it to the end. When such
men as Mr. Benton fall by the wayside, we
can only regret that confidence was ever re-
posed in them but instead of it being a
reason for the people of the North to give up
the contest it should induce them to stand
the firmer on the side of right. We must
expect traitors in our ranks, but we believe
that there will be a ma iority in the next
House, which neither the hope of admins
trative reward or the Establishments Of sena-
loriaI office can corrupt, or cause them to
turn aside from their purpose.
The recent election OF delegate in Kan
1os-if such farce can be called an cleo
ton--is only part of the bold and unscru-
puIous game which the slave extensionists
intend to play. We have the written letter
of Governor Reeder Of Kanzas, to show that
hundreds of men came across the State line
into kanzas to take part in the election, and
to outvOte the real settlers Of the territory
The Missourians came across the line in
hundreds, organized meetings in several To-
calities, and voted in body for the sla very
candidate. After performing their work
they marched ha ok to Missouri where they be-
longed. In this way, by these open frauds,
this man Whitfield was declared elected.
and he is now in Washington acting as dele
gate from the Kanzas territory.
1t would seem as if scheme which was
conceived in iniquity is to be carried out by
violence and fraud, and the people of the
free States are to be overrcached in every
possible way, as the northern actual set
tiers in Kanzas have been outvoted by cti-
gems of Missouri. In the next Congress the
northern representatives will have the pow
er. The house of representatives will be
largely in favor of the restoration of the old
compromise line, and they will not be false
to the promise which they made to the peo
pie, or disappont the expectations Of their
constituents. If Kanzas should appear
knocking for admission into the Union with
a slave-holding constitution we hope it will
knock until dooms day before it is admitted
treaty or no treaty. Gin. Gaz.

The Ohio Statesman recommends the {" re-
peal of all legislation which protects the
banks in their collection of debts, and which
Furnishes counterfeiting their notes. The
O. S. Journal replies: How it would pun
ish the banks 10 permit counterfeiters to pass
their trash upon the people, without fear OF
punishment! OF course these counterfeiters
would present their bogus bills at the bank
counters for specie, and of course the banks
would redeem them Was there ever such
madness and folly? The other measure, to
irepeal all laws autnorlzing banks to collect
claims, would be so palpably unconstitu-
tional and void that it would not stand so
long as the attempt to tax them.'
