INTO the necessary calculations, 1t can be seen
by the form of the hull that the Great Repub.
though she has been built with sufficient
strength.
need not say more of the Great Republic
1t is project too ridiculous to think Of That
our navy vessels are all over laden, there is
scarcely doubt, and when this matter is fully
considered, there will be no more complaints
made by the public-no more war vessels built
by contract, and our Navy the best in the
known world. - e. e II 5JUNIus
Mr.. Clay On tho Right Of Congress to Leg
islate Institutions for United States Terri
tories.-That there may be no question as to
the accuracy of our declaration, made yester-
day, that the New York Tribune wholly mis-
understands, and, therefore, misrepresents Mr..
Clay's views as to the principle involved in the
Nebraska Kansas territorial bill-that of entire
Congressional non-intervcntion in the subject
of slavery-we have to call the attention of the
reader to speech of his, delivered in 1850,
wherein he said, that q;
''The true principle which ought to regulate
the action of Congress in forming territorial
governments for each newly acquired domain
is to refrain from all legislation on the subject
in the territory acquired, so long as it remains
in the territorial form of government leaving
1t to the people of such territory, when they
have attained to a condition which entities
| them to admission as State, to decide for
themselves the question of the allowance or
prohibition Of domestic slavery"
An American Minister at Frankfort-ou-the-
Main.-An intelligent and very ardent Amer
lean, who has resided abroad for many years,
and whose sympathies arc altogether with the
cause of civil liberty, everywhere, without
leading him to overstep the bounds of his
position of an American citizen suffered to
roam over the continent at will, writes us that
the general war" cannot possibly be much
longer postponed; that the Democratic ele-
ments in Germany, Hungary, France and
Italy will profit by it, taking due care to draw
lessons of wisdom from the history of the
abortive revolutions of 1913. He also thinks
that an American Minister at Frankfort-on-
the Main is among the absolute and pressi ng
necessities.
General Gadsden's Confirmation, which took
place yesterday, was probably effected with but
nominal opposition AS we calculated sentiment
among the Senators, it is probable (there being
| forty-two presently that he received the votes of
all but Messrs. Houston and Rusk. It will be
remembered that many years ago, Generals
| Houston and Gadsden had violent, and by no
means dignifed, personal newspaper contro-
versy, the ghost of which, lost him two votes
| on this occasion, if any were thrown against
his confirmation; though it strikes US after all,
that no serious effort was made to prevent it.
A Navy officers Allowance for Travelling
E1penses.-In the settlement of an account at
the Treasury Department, few days ago, it
was decided that Navy Officer who changes
| his place of residence without notifying the
| Navy Department of the change, as required
| by the regulations, if ordered On duty is en-
titled to travel pay from his former residence
only, if the change has made it necessary for
him to travel longer distance to obey the
order.
Trouble in the Wigwam The lobby was
very decidedly in commotion last night,
owing to the adoption, yesterday, in the House,
of resolution offered by Mr.. Mace, of Indiana,
as follows, viz: ..-.t '
Resolred, That select committee be APP
pointed to investigate all frauds or mistakes
| in the disbursement of money, appropriated
| for the Collins steamers for mail service and
for other steamers for like purposes.
The International Copyright Treaty.-We
have every reason to believe that this conven-
ton stands no chance in the Senate of the
United States, the New York Herald to the
contrary Notwithstanding. AS we count noes
the majority against it may fairly be written
| two to one. -s:.'-.
