WH1TE-W W ASKING GE2TRAoRD1NARY.-The Rev
James Williams, the well known and philanthrop-
ic missionary SO long resident'in the South Sea
Islands, taught the natives to manufacture lime
from the coral, upon their shores. The powerful
effect produced upon them, and the extraordinary
uses they applied it to, he thus facetiously de-
scribed.
After having laughed at the process of burn
| ing which they believed to be to cook the coral
| for food, what was their astonisnment, when in
the morning they found his cottage glittering in
the rising sun, white as snow. They danced,
| they sang, they shouted and screamed for joy
The whole island was in commotion, given up to
wonder and curiosity, and the laughable scenes
which ensued after they got hold of the brush and

And now party spirit ran high, as it will do in
more civilized countries, as to who was or who
was not best entitled to a preference. One party
urged their superior rank; one had got the brush
and was determined at all events to keep i; and a
third tried to overturn the whole, that they might
/ obtain some of the sweepings. They did not
even scrupe to rob each other Of the little share
that some had been SO happy as to secure. sBut

ion, this measure will be as popular at the North
as at the South, when its provisions and prinei-
Piles shall have been fully developed, and be-
come well understood. The people at the North
are attached to the principles Of self-government
and you cannot convince them that that is self
government which deprives people of the right
of legislating for themselves, and compels them
to receive laws which are forced upon them by a
Legislature in which they are not represented
We are willing to stand upon this great principle
of selfgovernment everywhere; and it is to US a
proud reflection that, in this whole discussion, no
friend of the bill has urged an argument in its
favor which could not be used with the same pro-
priety in free State as in a slave State; and
utce UersG. No enemy of the bill has used an
argument which would bear repetition one mile
across Mason and Dixon's line. Our opponents
have dealt entirely in sectional appeals. The
friends of the bill have discussed great princi-
pie of universal application, which can be sus-
tained by the same reasons, and the same argu-
ments, in every time and in every corner of the
Union.

THE BANK TAX DEcIsIoN.-The bankers have
been in great glee for some days past over ru-
NOR that the U. s. Supreme Court had decided
the tax cases in favor of the Banks. We have been
watching for confirmation of the report, bu,
none has appeared, and we are inclined to be-
lieve that the rag barons have been growing q
little too soon. The report was published on
Thursday last, but it is yet unconfrmed. The
State Democrat of Fridpy, says:
"The rumor in the Journal of last evening, that
the Supreme Court, now in session in Washing
ton, have decided against the consttutionality ol
the law taxing banks, cannot be traced to any au-
theutic source. Those in this city to whom the
news would be first sent, have received no such
information.'
The Plain Dealer of Saturday, says that all
that the Court decided in the Deshler case was
that the District Court had jurisdiction, and that
the Ohio Life and Trust Co. case has not been
decided at all.

ALL They AsK.-On Wednesday Hon. Ed
Wade, the Freesoil, Fusion Representative in
Congress from the Cuyahoga district made
speech upon the Nebraska bill, in which he de.
clared that. if the bill were so amended as to al
low all the male population of these Territories,
,cahout respect to color, to determine their inst-
tutons by popular vote, he would cease his oppo.
sision to the measure, and cease to sgitate the
question before the people fthe country, and he.
felt warranted saying that every opponent Of the,
bill will withdraw his objection to it. So, what
these agitators so bitterly oppose this measure
for, is not that it "volates plighted faith" and
''solemn compacts," but because it does not con-
fer upon negroes the right Of suffrage; if it only
did that they would cease their opposition and
hold up both hands for the abrogation of what
they now pronounce "solemn, binding compact ~
The bill accedes this power to all persons who
are recognized as citizens by the constitution and
laws OF the Union, still they deny that it carries
out the doctrine of popular sovereignty and nom
Intervention because it does not confer all these
privileges upon negroes.

ShocKING TRAGEDY In VIRGINIA. The Peters,
burg (Va.l Express has letter from Accomac
Court house. giving an account of the horrible
murder of man damed George East, by his
step-son, who is yet minor The letter saws;
"Overtaking East he stabbed him repeatedly
behind, till he fell, when the assassin pot upon
him and literally cut him to pieces-rippng out
the bowels from the breast down--cuttng him
in the breast, laying open his heart un inch or
two, and stabbing and gashing him in number
of places. And to cap the climax, after the
blood thirsty monster had left him, fearing, as he
says, that he was not dead, he returned, propped
up the body against the fence, and cut the throut
from ear to ear, the wound extending entirely
through the windpipe, and disjointing the neck.
He then returned to town and delivered himself
up, saying he had been intending to do it for
long time" aga oasag ,s4q
He alleged, in his defence, that his mother had
been ll-treated by the deceased, but it is thought
they had fallen out about the property of Mrs
East. The parties were heretofore respectable,
and in geod circumstances. It is also stated that
twill be difficult to prevent the populace from
lynchipg the prisoner, SO great is the excite

The SANDWICH IsLANDS.--Mr., Armstrong, am
American citizen, is member Of tn: Cabinet of
the King of the Sandwich Islands. Not long
since, it is reported, he wrote an article in favor
of the annexation of those islands to the United
States, and published it in newspaper called
the M Hau. The French consul ihcrcupou
wrote to the King, and demanded the dismissal
of Mr.. Armstrong from the Cabinet, and threat
ened to demand his papers and return to France
if his demands were not complied with Mr..
Armstrong, on tn other hund, has protested
against such interference on the part Of France.
Thus the affair stood at the date of last adyices
This is another evidence of the Jealous watch
lulness of England and France, to prevent the
extension Of the influence or dominion of the
United States. In all part of the western hem
isphere English aud French agents are busily
plotting against our republic. In Cuba, in Mex.
leo, Central America, the Sandwich Islands, and
wherever American influence is felt, it is watch
ed with the Jealousy of hatred and fear by the
two most powerful nations of Europe. This in
solent attempt on their part to regulate the af-
fairs OF this continent has, as yet, ACCOMPLISHED
but little. The expanding tendencies of the re-.
public cannot be controlled. Texas, New Mex
leo and California have been added to our do.
mains; and, despite the threats from across the.
ocean, Cuba and the Sandwich Islands will vet
become States OF the great American confede-
racy. The sooner they are annexed tine better.
Our jealous enemies of the old world cannot af-
ford to make war for such cause against the ma
ton That feeds them, and supplies them with the

On Monday week, that paper put forth an article

those employed by the fusion organ in this place

an "obnoxious dictum," an unwarranted "assump-

The Nebraska Bi,l Passed.

We learn by telegraph despatch, that the Ne
braska Bill passed the House of Representatives
on Monday afternoon, by majority of l3 votes.
In what shape it passed we are not advised, but
we suppose the same as it passed the Senate,
except the Clayton Native American amendment
being stricken out. The Union is not yet dis
solved in consequence of this act, nor do we be-
lieve that any such result can follow. On the
contrary, until the doctrine of non-intervention
recognized in this bill, shall be fully established
the deliberations of Congress will continue to be
distracted by this exciting question.
