THE GREAT EXHIBITION OF THE RUSSIAN
WAR.-We understand that the number of people
who went for the purpose of seeing this great
spectacle, Saturday afternoon, was immense, not
one.ifth could gain admission. The hall was
crowded in fifteen minutes from the opening.
Westminster street was one dense mass of people
from till O'Clock. Every thing was done that
could be done to give those who had gained ad-
mission chance to witness the scenes, but we
never saw people SO inconsistent, they would not
be prevailed upon to sit down. The proprietor
of the hall, and many gentlemen who were pre-
sent, assure us, that had the audience taken
seats, all of them could have seen, for the same
number were accommodated in the evening, and
everything passed off in good style. The propri-
etors, who deserve much credit for their endeav-
ors to accommodate the audience, generously Of

were given back for another afternoon exhibition

WASHINGTON, March %, 1856.
The South might have avoided good deal
of damaging discussion and investigation of
affairs in Kansas, by persuading Gen. Whit
held to resign his seat. for which he might
have assigned thousand plausible and ap-
parently patriotic reasons. Such movement
Is too late now. and, indeed. would be fatal
as the House has already ordered an investi-
CATION, not merely of all facts which have
bearing on Ger. Whitfeld's election, but of
everything which the investigating commit
tee may judge important in the history of
Kansas, from the commencement of its or
ganization as a Territory.
The South are as much mortified and exas-
perated by the ordering of this investigation,
as they were by the election of Mr.. Banks as
Speaker. 1t was even more unexpected, and
they feel it the more keenly as they perceive
that their own tactics We're laundering and
unlucky. They are now, to some extent, re-
sponsible for the method of the investigation,
which was not the one asked for by the Com
mittee on Elections.
1t is stated that Judge Douglas has ordered
the printing, at his own expense, of one nun
bred thousand copies of his Kansas report
There is no doubt, at any rate, that it will
be widely circulated, and it is the duty of
Republican editors to expose its misstatements
of facts and fallacies in logic.
The Southern Democracy seem to be abso-
lutely demented. They are implored by their
Northern associates not to present and force
views upon which no Northern man can pos
sibly stand, but they heed neither entreaties
or threats. Everything is subordinated to
the vital necessity of holding the South
against the Know Nothings. which can only
be done by taking positions SO ultra that no.
body can get beyond them. AS to their
Northera associates, they have dragooned
them so often that they imagine there is no
limit to their powers of endurance.
The load these Southern gentlemen have
undertaken to carry is the bogus government
of Kansas, elected by the Missouri invasion of
March 80, 1866. The ground they take is
that conceding the substantial reality of all
the outrages charged to have been committed
on that fatal day, the government created by
tho'e outrages is made by the recognition of
the President, a fixed fact to be questioned
by no tribunal. They insist that it shall be
upheld, at all hazards, and they even propose
extraordinary appropriations of money from
the Federal Treasury for that purpose.
If positions like these are sustained, it will
result that the people of Kansas are slaves,
and that the people Of the United States
ought to be slaves.

1t is said that two of the Railroad Corpora

that others contemplate similar one, in with

The VERY PECULIAR INsTITUTIoN.-In the
recorders court at New Orleans, Mrs. Marga-
ret Adams, white woman, is maintaining
suit against Edwin Nash, free black, for
whipping her husband SO severely that he was
confined to the house. She made affidavit
that her husband was her slave, she having
bought him to marry him, and had thus be.
come his righttul legal protector. Very sim
gular legal complications grow out of the le-
gal fiction Of ownership in men. The New
recorder is pushed by this new case, and
takes time for study of the authorities
The Virginia Assembly have passed a series
of very stringent laws to prevent the escape of
the chattels from a condition which they pre-
fer to liberty. Among other provisions, a per-
son aiding in the escape of slave will be con-
fined in the penitentiary from five to ten years
and publicly " hipped as often as the jury
shall prescribe, but not over thirty nine lashes
per day. Ii the slave escapes in any vessel the
vessel will be confscated to the State The
bill also provides that pilots shall search every
vessel outward bound, for concealed negroes,
and compel the captain to pay five dollars for
the operation. This applies to steam packets
as well as other vessels and its only tendency
will be to cripple the already limited COM
merce of the State.

CALIFORNIA COMING RIeHT.-Judge Hayes
of California, has remanded TO their freedom
several slaves brought before him on writ of
habens corpus, consisting of fourteen persons,
of all ages, who were brought into the State
voluntarily by their owner, from Mississippi,
in 1851 and had been since held by him as
such, in California. Taken in connection
with the attempts which have been made to
legalise slavery in that State, by legislative
enactment, this decision affords confident
hope that California will, ere long, be in fact
as well as nominally, free State, and that her
representatives in Congress viii not always be
counted, as now. on the side of the slave
power. Judge Hayes is of the democratic
stamp in politics. really as well as nominally.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The Kansas Com.
nission.-The prominent topic of discussion
here is the composition of the Kansas Com
mission,
Campbell was selected as Chairman, be-
cause he was the leader of the Anti Nebraska
party in the last Congress, and as Chairman
of the Committee of Ways and Means, and
leader of the House in this.
Howard is regarded as an able lawyer. and
was the general choice of the Republicans,
who objected to Dunn on account of his
course concerning the Speakership.
Oliver, of Missouri, was recommended to
the Speaker by prominent Nebraska Repre-
sentatves, as their choice for the minority
member of the Commission.
The vacancies created by these appoint
ments, in the Committees of Ways and Means,
and on Elections, will probably be temporarily
filled. The investigation will consume at
least two months-the Committee being de-
termined to have thorough scrutiny. They
will take clerk and stenographer with them,
and two or three Marshals to subpoena wit
nesses.

a selectman in West Springfield, had seized,
during the last summer, the wagon Of Jones,
who was carrying liquor through the town, in
the night, from Thompsonville to Holyoke.-.
Jones brought suit to recover damages for the
detention Of his team. saying nothing about
the liquor but the judge charged the jury
that il the detention was merely incidental to
the seizure Of the liquor and the arrest of the
driver, the action could not be sustained

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS AT WASHINGTON
Washington, March 24-1l p. M.-The Re-
publicans held caucus tonight, at which
there was full attendance. The principal
speeches were made by Campbell of Pennsyl-
yania, Campbell of Ohio, Seward Galloway,
and Pennington. Mr.. Giddings urged
thorough union, as,in Ohio, on the principle
of requiring no one to surrender their con.
victions on other points if sound on the Me-
braska question.
Mr.. Horton of Ohio thought they must
look much to men, so as not to get objection
able candidates. He advocated the union of
the Anti. Nebraskaites, and said the country
was looking with peculiar interest to Wash.
ington for suggestions as to candidates and
platform. He recommended that, without
abating principle, conservative feelings should
be respected.
Mr.. Galloway earnestly argued that free
dom was the great overshadowing issue, and
he was satisfied that even Anti. Nebraska
Americans, as he found In New Hampshire,
so regarded IL.
Mr.. Campbell of Pennsylvania, said the
American feeling was very strong in the CEN
tral and eastern portions of that State, and,
TO carry Pennsylvania, its aid must be secured
to the Anti. Nebraskaites. He looked with
the most ardent hopes to see such a union eff.
fecled.
Mr.. Campbell of Ohio referred to his
pledge when the Nebraska bill was passed,
that he would oppose it to the bitter end, and
he would carry out that pledge to the letter.
He would vote for no man who advocated
that inquiiy and outrage. He advocated
fusion of all the elements and opponents of
the administration, like that which so elori-
ously triumphed in Ohio last autumn, and
pointed to that State as a noble monument of
freedom.
Alison and Covode Of Penn, said in their
part Of the State the ant-Nebraska feeling
was predominant, and coDcurred in the views
expressed by Mr.. Campbell, their colleague,
viz Of the necessity Of union and harmony TO
carry the State.
Mr.. Seward made the closing speech, and
like Mr. Campbell Of Ohio, was frequently
applauded. He urged action, saying the
great practical question was 10 rescue Kansas
from the tyrants grasp by her admission as a
State. He hoped the House would push the
bill for that purpose to q passage. and send it
TO the Senate. In the event of lite failure in
that body, the President might find difficulty
