sPIRIr OF TIE MORNING PRESS

The InteiLigenesr says Of the action of the
House, yesterday, in adopting Mr. Letcher's
amendment to the civil and diplomats appro-
pristion bill:
1.-The proposition Of Mr. Letcher to engraft
upon the general appropriation bill the Tariff
bill reported by the Committee Of Ways and
Means, called compromise, if concurred in
by the House will preseat matter for grave
reflection on the par; of the Senate IL the
latter body it will be remembered some of
the prominent members of the dominent party
gave intimations Of an apprehended crisis,
likely to grow out Of the alleged Interior pur-
poses Of the Allies, and they warned the peo-
pie to be on the alert and watch With jealousy
the movement of the two great naval Powers
of Europe. If the spprehensions thus some
what O. aculsrly expressed are we'll founded,
the great American constituency will natural-
Jy begin to inquire into the soundness Of the
policy which reduces the revenue and at the
same time leaves the defences of the country
in an imperfect condition. We cannot believe,
however, that, with so brief a period for con
sideration, Congress will consumate so radical
change in tho revenr system Of the country
rs to reduce tho national income when both
the navy and the army sem to require heavy
augmentation"
The Inteittgencsr also says, for Mr.. Seatop,
that he did not vote at the nominal election of
officers for the National Washington Menu
ment Association that took plac. on Thursday
last, as repres ented by one of our evening CO.
tsmporariss.

British and French Allianoe"-and the able

MR.. Edward Fry comments at length in
tho New York Tribune, upon the secret dispo-
sal of bis libel suit against Bennett, and says:
And now, in conclusion, let me assure James
Gordon Bennett, that, poor as am, and rich
as he is, have still the means and the de-
termination to continue the suit till he shall
be suitable punished. Politicians provorbiaIIy
base and time serving, may quail before him;
craven managers Of theatres may still pusiIan-
imously pay him vast sums of blsck mail In
over charges on their bill printing; lawyers
may fear linn, and some witnesses, like vile
towards, may not dare to give the testimony
that would effectually blast him, but still /
have full faith that another intelligent Jury
whether composed, like the first, of Nov York
mechanics, or of the class whom he has syste-
matically vili6ed under the title of tho 'codf sh
aristocracy,' will not only award as large q
verdict as the first. but will give ono for the
whole amount claim. I am determined to
60 on with the suit, be the time longer or
shorter, till get Justice, and he will live to
learn that there is one man, at least, who
does not fear him, and that man is EDWARD
