NEW York, February b.
The Herald's Washington correspondent
telegraphs that Mr.. Banks gave evidence OF
determination to hold tight reign and
preserve order. He seems perfectly at home
and will no doubt make popular Speaker.
Parker H. French, minister from Nicara-
qua, appeared in the House to-day. In a
few days he will present his credentials and
insist upon an immediate acceptance. Mr..
Marcy is satisfied of the stability of Walk
er's government, but personal objection to
French may prevent his reception.
The government has determined to issue
to Col. Fremont patent for his Mariposa
grant, but delay is necessary to procure a
duplicate of the survey from California The
original papers having been stolen from the
General Land Office. -.t....
The Courier and Enquirer telegraphs the
nomination of George M. Dallas, Minister to
England, was confirmed to-day without OPP
position.
The nomination of Judge Cato, of Ala
bama, and Burrell, Of Penn, for Kansas were
also confirmed.
Governor Shannon's nomination was fa-
vorably reported. A motion to confirm was
opposed by Wilson and others, and it was
laid over.
A struggle will be made to discuss it in
open session.
Mr.. Douglas has written to postpone all
Territorial business until he arrives.

Americans SO called, clearly exonerates the
Republican Party from any charge of con-
nection with proscriptive Know Nothingism.
Resolved, That the united support of the
factions alluded to in the foregoing resolu-
ton, given to disunionist and the largest
slave owner in Congress, clearly shows the
strong sympathy Of the Administration
Slavery Extension Party with the intolerant
and proscriptive Know Nothing Party.
Resolped, That we endorse the sentiments
embodied in the resolutions offered by the
Hon. A. Van Worries and voted for by the
Republican members Of the present House
of Representatives of this Territory.
ResoIoed, That r. P. Upton, W. D. Bah
bitt, L. NJ. Newson, DR.. D. Day and A. H.
Cathcart, be appointed Delegates from this
Territory to the National Republican Con-
vention, to meet at Pittsburg on the 22d inst.
Appropriate remarks were made by Messrs'
Bradley, Marshall, Owens, Balcombe and
Mobiles.
After which, the meeting adjourned with
three deafeaing cheers for Banks.

The United States Marshal.

Col. M. W. Irwin, q. S. Marshal for the
District of Minnesota, has called our atten-
ton to facts which convince us that the
charge of official dereliction, contained in
the communication which we copied from
the Brownsville Herald on Saturday last, is
entirely unfounded. Early in April last, the
Marshal was notified by the Comptroller Of
the Treasury that only one clerk could be
appointed for the District Courts in each OF
three districts into which the Territory is
divided. 1t had been the custom to have o
clerk in each county in which courts were
held; and the Judges, after the new order o.
April last, being in hopes that the decision
of the Comptroller would be reversed, pro
ceeded to hold courts during the summer un
der the old arrangement. Those who are &C
quainted with the character of Comptroller
Whittlescy, know that he is a man not to
be "bluAed" by anything of this kind. He
ordered the Marshal forthwith not to pay
clerks or jurors in any county where the
court recognized the spurious clerks.
Finally the Judges were convinced that
they must conform to the construction of the
organic act given by Mr.. Whittlesey. The
Comptroller then assented to the payment
of jurors who had attended upon all the
courts during the summer. His order to
pay, however, was not received by the Mar
shall until the third day of September last.
He forthwith made a requisition; but the
usual delay attended its answer. The letter
containing funds for this purpose bears date
at Washington as late as the 9TH of Novem-
Der, and Of course did not reach here till
some days after that date.
Meantime, Col. Irwin had borrowed some
money on his own responsibility, and had
commenced paying the jurors in Ramsey and
the adjacent counties. In publishing the
Herald's insinuation against him, we did not
at the time remember the fact, that last fall,
after he received his draft, he advertised in
the Minnesotian that he was ready to pay
jurors. They are now all paid except in some
of the lower counties, and provisions have
been made for their payment just as soon as
the Marshal can accommodate business so re-
mote from the Capital at this inclement sea-
son of the year. A member of the Houston
county delegation will carry home with him
the funds to pay the jurors of that county.
We are satisfied that Col. Irwin's accounts
with the Government are Gas straight as a
string"

Fighting Legislators.

We publish to-day Mr.. Greeley's own &C
count of the recent assault made upon him
by the Arkansas Congressional bully, Rust
We have no doubt this is an impartial &C.
count of one of the most disgracefuI scenes
ever witnessed in the streets of Washington
Doubtless, this man Rust is in the habit d
ordering his black women fioggedEperhaps
OF doing it himself at home; hence he thinks
it no disgrace to raise his cane over the head
OF man who is known to be almost as de-
fenceless as woman. How desperate must
be that cause which finds it necessary for its
success to assault defenceless editor, and
how desperately mean must be the creature
who places himself forward as the physica
champion of that cause.
While abiding to this scene of violence al
the National Capital, we should not forget
to notice that the reports of our police court
Show that our own city has been disgracet
by disorder and violence on the part of a leg
islator. A member of the House has beer
twice arraigned and twice fined for assaults
committed since the session opened. To say
that these acts are only disgraceful to the
member himself, is not sufficient discharge
of our duty as independent journalists. Sucl
acts as he has been fined for committing, are
disgraceful to humanity at any time; but &
man who is sent here as law-maker to b
among the first to become law-breaker, il
a public outrage against the character ant
dignity Of an honest and peaceable constitu
ency and the body of which he is member
We owe no ill-feeling to the member allud
ed to, but sense of duty will not allow tho
press to be silent amid these scenes of vi
olence. We are assured that the people o
Nicollet and Steele feel keenly the false posi-
ton in which their representative has placed
them; and we believe that he too, when il
his right senses, is ashamed of his conduct
If he is not, he should be.
We dislike to see the name of any citize1
who claims to be gentleman upon the pc
lice recor s; but we sincerely hope that a
least the name of law-maker may neve,
appear there anew after this time.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.
SENArE-Mr. Weller introduced bill
authorizing the coinage at the San Francisco
mint of unions of the value of 500, and
half unions of the value of $50, made confor-
mable to the standard of gold coin and to be
received as legal tender.
The consideration Of the Central Amerr
can question was then resumed.
Mr.. Foote, although not an admirer OF Mr.
Buchanan, eulogised the argument of that
gentleman regarding his construction of the
Clayton and Bulwer Treaty as of consum-
mate ability. The faithful assurance of treaty
requires of her Majesty's Government the
immediate withdrawal from any actual occu-
pancy of or dominion over any portion of the
Mosquito Territory, of sea coast by virtue
of a protectorate.
The claims of England over Central Amer
lea and Bay Islands being founded on nc
right of discovery, consequent purchase OF
treaty of her occupation of the territory
was clear case of forcible entry and de-
tainer, and her right the same that high
wayman has to pursue an unframed traveller
He maintained that the honor of this coun-
try, no less than it's interests demand that
we shall insist on England fulfilling her
treaty stipulations. The idea of yielding to
the pretentions Of that government, allow
ing her to evade its plain provisions, is not
to be thought fer moment. He proposed
that direct Congressional declaration be
made of their construction of the treaty, and
of our purpose to enforce the obligations re-
sulting from it, and if this power is unavail-
ing, or after negotiations shall have been eX-
hausted, he would entertain proposition
similar to that suggested by Mr.. Seward to
give England official notice that she must
withdraw from her Central American occu-
patton by a given day, if then she still held
out and disregarded all our summons would
have her removed by force of arms. Let
England understand that we are in earnest
about this, and that it is not a second edi-
ton of "54:4O or fight" and then backing
down to 40, if after so much forbearance it
has come we shall be justified both by God
and man.
Mr.. Watson obtained the floor and the
Senate adjourned.

Railroad Aceide nt---Loss Of Life.

PHILADELPHIA, FeD. D.
The IL o'clock train from Harrisburg was
thrown from the track last night near White
hall, Montgomery County. o.
Six passengers went over the embankment
killing one man and wounding number of
others.
The accident was caused by the breaking
of rail.
The passenger killed was supposed, from
papers found in his possession, to be Abra-
ham B. Hart, Of the firm of Hart & Son, Of
Cincinnati.
Twenty-seven passengers were more OF
less injured.
Among those most severely hurt is I. S.
Watson, of ST.. Louis, who has one leg broken
at the thigh. Mr.. w. is one of the surviv-
ors of the Gasconade accident on the Pacific
Railroad, and had not fully recovered from
the injuries there received.

For the MinneSotian.

Mr.. EDITOR A communication in the
Daily Minnesotian of the 18th inst, over the
signature of "West," it seems to me, re-
quires passing notice. "West" begins his
article by saying that he was pleased with
the lecture of the Rev. Mr.. Penman before
the Historical Society last Friday evening
and very justly notices the allusion which
the lecturer made to the "mud literature
Of the day West" then takes occasion to
class Uncle Tom," as he calls it, among the
" mud literature" referred to by Mr.. Pen
man. Now sir, Mr.. Penman in his lecture
made no allusion whatever to Mrs. Stoves
great work of Uncle Tom," and if he had
done so, and classed it as "Wcst" has, among
the "n1ud pile" we should not have as high
an opinion of the Rev. gentleman's good
sense as we now have-we would ask "West''
if the character of "Little Eva" is picture
fit only to be cast upon the "mud pile
Is there nothing worth reading, nothing pro-
fitable in the lessons of Christian heroism
WAiNA "iO cduouC III CuCIllO VI ONClC 1Oil
Is there nothing profitable in the story Of
"Uncle Toms" Christian faith, which held
him up while passing through the furnace Of
affiiction, and which sustained him in the
most terrible trials I have no where seen,
nor have l ever read more striking illustra-
ton of the power of the Christian faith than
in the simple but touching story of Uncle
Tom.
Perhaps "West " thinks it improper to
write story about negro religion, or about
negro faith and should think that he did
not believe with Mrs. Stowe, that Christ
died for negroes as we'll as white men. We
do not believe that Mr. Penman, like "West, y
would heap such sentiments upon the "mud
pile' he spoke of as the religion he teaches
is too broad for that. should think that
" West" must be some fellow up here in
pursuit of some poor runaway Eliza and
her boy" and that he would like to enlist
the Clergy Of our city on his side, in order
that they may teach their focks that the
"Golden Rule I" does not apply to "niggers.' u
