WASHINGTON, August 4.
The army appropriation bill had been re-
ported to the House with the recommends
ton to strike out the enacting clause with
view to it's defeat. This was disagreed to by
a vote of 60 to 95. The bill was finally
passed.
Mr.. Herbert made an unsuccessful effort
to introduce resolution, authorizing the en-
ployment of the q. S. land and naval forces
to put down the Vigilance Committee of San
Francisco.
The House then discussed the bill to de-
fray the expenses of the Legislative, Execu-
tive and Indian Departments of the Govern
ment, but the House adjourned for an eve
ming session before any vote was taken.

New York, July 81, 1856.

NEW IoRk, July Il, 1000.
To the Editor Of the New York Daily Tsmes:
In the Morning Express of Saturday, Mr..
Brooks asserted that Col. Fremont received
his education in a Roman Catholic Institute
in Charleston, S. c., under the late Bishop
England. Although opposed to the party
who nominated HMM justice to himself
and the memory of his mother-I brand
these assertions as utterly false from begin
ming to end. Born in Charleston, have
known him from my earliest days. He was
my .schoolmate for many years. was q
member of the same Sunday School class
with him and while he was member OF
the Junior Class, Charleston College, he
was my most intimate friend. was stand
ing within a few feet of him when he was
confirmed in the Protestant Episcopal
Church, by the Bishop of South Carolina.
can vouch that he never had his foot inside oi
the Catholic Institute spoken of and am
sure he never spoke to Bishop England in
his life.; He was born Protestant, educat-
ed a Protestant, and has more of Protest
ant principle about him than the editor Of
the Express or the candidate of the pro
scriptive party he represents. A

We are enabled to inform our readers this

glorious style. Border Rufiian Democracy
has not a plank left to stand upon in the
Northern District, and we have no doubt
that; as the thing is running, Curtiss has
defeated Hall Border Ruffian) in the South

cannot be less than three thousand, and may
reach five. The only county the Buccaneers
have carried in the State, as far as heard
from, is Dubuque, and that was carried by
the Irish Railroad vote. The Germans, al
most to man, both in Iowa and st. Louis,
voted the Republican ticket. All honor to
their free and independent spirit

It now appears that Lee county-the county
in which Keokuk is situated-has also given
Colonel Curtiss, the Republican candidate

probable that any county in the State has
gone that way, save Dubuque. Curtiss's
election is certain, and his majority will be

FOREIGN NEWS.
Arrival Of the Atlantic.
New YoRK, August 4.

/ ..,t ss.7efs 81 .asr New YoRK, August A.
The steamship Atlantic arrived about
P. NJ, with Liverpool dates to July 23d.-
The steamer Asia arrived out on the 21st.
The news relates mainly to the outbreak
Of civil war in Spain. The statements rep
resenting its progress and prospects are very
conflicting. 1t would appear that O'Donnell
had previously prepared to crush any mani
festation, and had assembled in and around
Madrid, l8, 900 troops. Against this force
the ational Guards and citizens held their
ground for 80 hours, but at length gave in
and were disarmed. Two hundred persons
were killed in the assault. But at latest
dates, Madrid was tranquil. Espartero was
supposed to be in the city, under arrest. At
Barcelona and elsewhere there had been
smaller outbreaks, but they were speedily
suppressed.
The headquarters of the insurrection were
at Sargosa, where Espartero's friends had
gained victory over the garrison, and where
it is reported more than q legal quorum of
the Cortes has assembled, and proclaimed
Liberty and the Constitution.
The Emperor of France had ordered a
French force to assemble on the Spanish
frontier as a measure of precaution. Many
of the adherents of the Ex-Queen Christina,
in France, were also Fastening to the from
tier. Sotef 4o
A letter from the Spanish legation at Pa
ris says, that the difficulty between Spain and
Mexico has been honorably settled. t.i
The latest accounts from Spain state, that
the Cortes had removed to ArragoH, and
were under Gen. Infante. They intended to
make war on Queen Isabella and ministers
in the name Of Liberty and the Constitu-
ton.
The London Times and other papers say
the insurrection was encouraged by O'Don
nell's party, Espartero is very strong in Ar
rag0n.
The British news is unimportant. Par
lament will adjourn about the 30th. The
large failures alluded to in the last steamers
news were John Mannor, cotton broker, Lii
erpool, Joseph Wright & Co., spinners, Stock
port, Low & Laird, commission merchants,
Manchester, Baxter & Co., and four other
houses. The liabilities were all large and
the assets small.
In Parliament, Earl Malmsbury called at
tention to the difficulties between Brazil and
England, arising from the treatment of the
British Minister at Rio, on the question of
the slave trade. He particularly insisted on
the value of retaining. the friendship of Bra
iii in case of war with the United States
Lord Ellenborough explained, that Brazilhad
no i'll will towards Great Britain.
The riot at Albershot between the Ger
man and English troops, had been greatly
exaggerated.

He Gives IL up.

The special correspondent of the New
York Tribune writes from Washington on
the 3D.: " Mr.. Richardson of Illinois, who
has boasted s. much since his return to this
city sbout his prospects in that state, really
to his friends gives up the battle and ac-
knowledges-what is the fact-that Illinois
will give a large majority for Bissell for Gov
ernor and Fremont for President" Mr..

fully verified in November. ae4ai az .a9s

''Decline Of Political Integrity.'' The senti-
ments were noble and manly, delivered in A
pleasant and forcible style, worthy of matur-
er years: He commended the PATRIOTISM Of
the fathers of the Republic, and denounced
the degenerate political hucksters of the
present day, who make all kinds of sycophant-
lc promises to all parties and portions of the
country for even nomination by q Conyen-

Another Murder Proved.

The young man, Robert johnson, whom
we spoke of on Saturday as having beenfound
in an almost lifeless state near the lower
landing on Friday morning, died on Friday
night of his wounds. A post mortem exam
ination had on Saturday, at the instance of
the Coroner, proved that he had been foully
murdered.
Apistol shot had been fred into his mouth,
lacerating his tongue and the ball lodging
near the base of the brain in the back part of
the head. DR.. Goodrich, who assisted at the
examination, thinks the wounds on the face,
the fracture of the scull and also the fracture
of the shoulder, were caused by his fall over
the bluff. But the idea entertained by some
that the fatal pistol wound might have been
inflicted by johnson himself, is perfectly pre-
posterous. The range of the ball and the
absence of any pistol about or near the per-
son of the deceased at the time he was found,
go conclusively to show that the unfortunate
man was cruelty murdered. He never spoke
after be was found and taken care of on Fri
day morning. @a +"a%
A large mass of testimony was taken be-
fore the Coroner's Jury on Saturday, and
the investigation will be resumed to-day. 1t
would be improper for us to publish any por-
ton of the evidence until the Whole is taken.
Two men have been arrested on suspicion
Of committing the foul deed. f--'
70 What are we to do in order to rid our city
of the horde of thieves and cut-throats who
now infest it2 This is question that the
citizens must answer at once. We heard it

upon this important matter. Who will get

Another Fatal Stab.

The last prominent come-outer" from

Ohio. We need tell no Ohioan in Minnesota
who James Myers is After doing extensive
service for the party in the North Western
region of that State, he was honored with
Office as Senator in the Legislature, was, in
1853, elected Lieut.-Goyernor by the votes
of the Democracy, and only last year was
the chosen candidate on the ticket with Gov
Medill, for reelection to the same Office.
We to-day give Governor Myers's reasons
at length, for coming out " from among the
