beverages in common use among men.
The lecturer described fermented wine rs
the result of rottenness and putrefaction.
By making such an assertion, he shows that
he never has witnessed even the making of
loaf of light bread, much leas have a
knowledge of the laws Of fermentation. 1t
is true there are in this law changes, con.
version of one substance into another, but
there is nothing of what the fertile fancy of
the lecturer has invented. To be sure, all
fermenting vegetable matter, If neglected,
will ultimately pass into the putrid condi.
ton, unless, like the grape juice, it pro luces
new and selfpreserving elements, alcohol,
tannic and tartaric acids. Wine is alone
that beverage that results from the com
plete vinous fermentation Of the Juice OF
ripe grapes; all other beverages SO called
are not wines, but brswed drugs, moro or
less deleterious. :.
The views taken on the subject Of tenn
peranes by the sSoss Of Temperance and
myself do not differ much, except in the
means to produce the desired reform. and
make It ts.lssting, and = permanen. one.--

The sore point with this chap is the support

CURED sort Of municipal control on the
Is.hmus This power it exercised for time,
and before the railroad was finished we were
frequently enlightened upon the smart doings
of Ran Runnels, as the chief Of their police
The Isthmus was at that time much more iafest-
ed with evil characters than il now is, and yet
the transit was maintained in q safe condition.
Toward the close Of 1854 this police ceased to
exist. Two causes we are told, contributed to
this end. One was the expense it entailed upon
the company, and the other was some divergence
of opinion between the officers Of the company
and the Governor Of Panama as to the appoint
ing power
With the jealousy that always cbaracterizes a
weak government, that of Panama began to en-
terrain fears Of the company's police, and claim
ed the power of appointing its members. When
such great interests as those of the company
and its passengers and trade were at stake in
little State that like Panama, is always in a
bankrupt condition, prudence would have die
tated that some means should have been found
to have settled this question without conflict
But conflict did ensue, and the police was
dropped. Since that time the company has
never proposed to the government of New
Granada any plan or regulations for the police
and security of its roads and ports. 1t has the
power and the means to establish police, and
If it does so the Isthmns will be secure for all
time. Let it, therefore, bring forward plan to
establish them at once, and pay for it as their
charter stipulates. We shall then hear no more
of a necessity for national ships in the ports or
for the seizure Of the Isthmus by this or any
other government.

The SOUTHERN DEMOCRATIC PRESS AND THE
is pleased at the conservative lone of certain
Southern democratic papers in reference to the
incoming administration; and says " the New
YORK HERALD is much puzzled to explain the
more moderate tone which the press Of the South
exhibits since the close OF the canvass But
this is not the case. There is no puzzle in the
matter at all. The spoils win explain this
" more moderate tone' at once. Our democratic
contemporaries Of the South, descending to this
more moderate Tone" have an eye upon the
sros. Still, with an amusing mockery Of con-
sistency, our Richmond philosopher adheres to
the disgusting absurdty that with the election Of
Fremont the Union would not have survived a
twelvemonth." This is the shallow pretence and
the sorry for the insane rawlings Of treason
rebellion and civil war of the Richmond En-
q1orr, and the whole Southern disunion pack,
through the late campaign Since the election,
they are hauling up to the wind, and we hail IL as
good omen. II the Union can be saved by the
Toils it win be good thing; but we have sus-
picion that Mr.. Buchanan will look to other and
nobler expedicnts than the public plumber for
securing the loyalty Of the South. The spoils

horde Of Southern freeating expectants They

The Meeting or COngress-SymPtOms Of
Stormy Weather.


The opening proceedings yesterday, of the
first day Of the last session Of the present Con-
gress, would seem to indicate that the agitation
Of the Kansas question has not been foreclosed by
the Presidential election. Our democratic CO
temporaries have been vainly whstling to keep
their courage up under the delusive idea that
this Kansas excitement was but an electioneering
trick and that with the close of the Presidential
campaign the universal Northern outcry against
poor Pierce's policy OF ruffaa sovereignty would
quietly die away On the first day Of Congress,
however, and in the very act of its organization
the House is brought to the test question of the
validity of this rufan policy Of Pierce in Kansas
in constitutional and logical protest against the
admission of General Whitfield as the delegate
tuition and the organic law have been superseded
by bogus government all proceedings resting
upon the authority of such government, may pro-
perly be denounced, and should be repudiated as
null and Of no effect
The objections OF Mr. Grow, therefore, TO the
admission OF Whitfield rs the Kansas delegate
we're valid objections. The real issue involved
may be lodged now; but yesterdays proceedings
of the House were only foretaste of what is yet
TO come on this Kansas business The Know
Nothings voted with the democrats for Whitfield,
and at the adjournment the vote stood, yeas 81,
nays lol. with the expectation OF a reinforcement
OF ton or dozen democrats this morning. 50
hat there can be no doubt of Whitfeld's admi.-
sion to day unless the reading of the message
should intervene, or some spontaneous irregular
debate shah spIing up and consume the sit
ting.
The meaning of this virtual endorsement by
The democracy and Know Nothings of the House
Of Pierces border ruiiian policy may be readily
explained. This is a short session. A large pre-
portion Of the members 60 out with this Con-
gress in oil probability never to come back again
Their policy and their purpose is to make
he most Of their time Galphn and Gardner
claims, the Pacific Railroad swinile, swindling
railroad land grants, Indian annuity frauds, pa
tent monopolies, spoliation contracts, bogus in
IDENTITIES, bogus pension claims, and other arti-
clcs entering into the fat pickings of a corrupt
lobby, are the legislative game for this short ses
sion. Constitutional questions like that in
volved in Whitfelds case, don't psy-they will
be TUNED over, as far as possible, to Mr.. Bucha-
nan, and poor Pierce will have sadded him with
a load which will inevitably break bis back, un-
less he throws 1t of in the very outset of the new
administration.
We shall see from Mr.. Pierce's message to-day
what he and the JEFF. Davis Southern disunion
faction expect Of poor Pierce's successor. The
first day Of the session has been signalized by
little cross firing Of musketry, the second may be
marked by great gun or two, in addition to the
bombsbell of poor Pierce's last annual message or
farewell ad dress.
