their own eyes the evils and damage we suffer, and

GIVING AND RECEIVING PREsENTs.-A judi
cious correspondent "a lady, evidently of the
New York Home Journal, says that this matter
of ladies giving and receiving presents, is a
subject upon which many Of the sex have never
bestowed thought upon which many more are
in error, and which few, perhaps, view in just
the right light and the writer proceeds to say
what follows:
think it safe rule for every young lady to
adopt-never to lay herself under pecuniary
obligations to an unmarried man, not connect
ed with her by the ties Of blood or family, for
any gift whatever, except the very fitting, APP
propriate and emblematic one Of boquet Of
flowers. Whatever may be the relations of the
parties to each other at the time of giving and
receiving the present, circumstances may sub
sequently occur which will make it extremely
awkward and unpleasant to the lady to remain
her to cancel the obligation in any way Indeed
l think lady Of native refinement, delicacy
and proper self-respect, will always be unwill-
ing to incur pecuniary indebtidness under any
circumstances, and the consciousness of being
deeply indebted to any other than dear friend,
for any gift or favor, is never agreeable.
Ladies-and very young ladies, especially
often incur improper obligations, by allowing
gentlemen to pay their travelling or other ex-
pences, when they are accidentally thrown upon
the protection Of the gentleman. In such case,
no man of the world, acquainted with the usa-
ges of good society, win oblige lady to remain
it his debt by refusing to accept payment from
her. 1t often happens, however, that men of
generous impulses, and even well-bred men, will
decline being remunerated. Under such circum-
stances, from a mistaken idea Of the require
ments Of politeness, lady should, invariably,
insist upon his receiving the price Of her ticket,
even at the risk Of offending the gentleman. l
have known instances in which ladies have been
obliged to incur obligations of this kind to the
very persons Of all others, to whom they would
leat wish to be indebted; and, on the other
hand, in which gentlemen have been drawn into
an expense for those of oil others, for whom
they would be least willing to make any pecuni-
. y sacrifice.

Mr.. GALES, OF THE "NAT1oNAL INTELLIGES-
GER. There is no man connected with the
press of this country, who occupies more ex-
allied position in the estimation Of the reading
public than Joseph Gales, senior editor of the
National Inteligencer He has been connected
with the Intelligencer for long series of years,
during which time, by his political integrity,
great abilities, and the uniform courtesy and
dignity he has manifested in the conduct of po-
litical controversies he has done more to elevate
the standard of American journalism than any
other editor in the country. The Washington
correspondent of the New York Commercial Ad-
vertiscr tells the following pleasing incident:
A matter of business had induced Joseph
Gales, Esq, to viste the Capitol. lie was ac
companied by young gentleman, and | pre-
sumo it was his first visit during the present
session of Congress. | happened to be pres
ent when, in the course of his walk, he entered
the Hall Of Representatives. 1t was, perhaps,
half an hour before the House was called to
der, aud there was the usual hum of talking and
laughing voices. But the moment his presence
Was observed, the remark, "There's Mr.. Gates"
went the entire round, and q general silence
PREVAILED. Those who were personally ac-
quainted with Mr. Gales went forward to shake
him by the hand, and those who were unknown
to him begged to be introduced One honora
BILE member went off to inform the Speaker of
the unexpected visitor. and that gentleman came
forward to present his compliments, so that in
short time there was quite a crowd assembled
around the venerable editor. His step was as
firm as ever, and most dignifed an1 as he APP
peared, (wherein he Intentionally set good
example to many of those who surrounded them)
it required only u slight effort of the fancy to
imagine that the earlier times of the Republic
had returned Simple as was this incident, it
was to my mind full ofinterest. 1t illustrated,
in beautiful manner, the power of an exalted
character. When men like Mr.. Gales command
the love, the respect and admiration of all par
ties, there is no great danger that folly and fam
aticisim will ruin the country. 1t is now not far
from half century since Mr.. Gales and Mr..
Seaton, became identified with the National In
and think it may be safely said of
them, that not two men in the land have done
so much intellectual work as they, and of the
journal, that it is one of the most elevated and
influential of the age. So intimately associated
are these men with the history Of this Govern
ment, that it is almost impossible for members
of Congress to discuss any great questions arts
ing out of our party history, without turning
over the pages Of that Journal A number of
the earlier Presidents, if history is to be believ-
ed, did not deem it beneath their dignity to call
at the office of the National Intelligencer for the
purpose of consulting its editors; and few per-
sonages in times past. have been NOR familiar
with the staircase leading to their respective
senctums, than such men as Webster. Clay, Cal
houn, Adams, Gallatin and many others.

matte agents have occurred within lifetime in this
country and at European Courts, aud we now recall
no single instance In which such dismissal has been
regarded as an act of hostility or just cause for
war.
STILL the recent dismissal Of Minister Champion
and three British ConsulS by Mr.. Marcy is rendered
OF graver consequence by the perfectly notorious
though not automatically recognized fact that it is
the punishment of 0verzeal in the service Of their
own Government. Whstever language may be
held in Gov Marcy's or Mr.. Dallas's letters, all
men do know that if Messrs. Champion, Barclay,
Mathew and ROwecroft had entered less heartily
and more cautiously into the schemes of their supe-
riors for drawing from this country recruits for
their armies, then engaged in doubtful and desper-
ate conflict with those of Russia they would never
haze incurred the penalty of dismissal. This grave
fact, while it by no means impairs the right of our
Executive to dismiss, renders it imperative that
the exercise of this right should Iot only be we'll
grounded in the conduct of the discarded officials,
but should be fautless in all its incidents and cir
cumstances.
Yet our private advices from Washington assure
us that Gov. Marcy, taking care that bis own dis
patch and Accomplishments to Mr. Dallas, announc-
irg AID justfiDg the dismissal of Mr.. Champion
and the obnoxious cOnsuls should 90 out to Europe
in the Asia-to which end they must of course have
left Washington on Tuesday last-withheld any
notification Of the dismissal from ell the dismissed
until the afternoon of Wednesday, when, as one of
the officials observed, the Asia was safe beyond
Sandy HOOK and out of reach Of the Telegraph!
Aud even then, Mr.. Champion was not informed
that the cOnsuls had also been dismissed, bat was
left to learn that important fact from the news
papers next mOrpirg
Unless We hear some better explanation of the
circumstance than has yet reached u. We mu-t hold
that this eontriving to get one steamer ahead of
Dir. Champion on his own side of the Atlantic, re-
bounds not at all TO Gov. Marcy's credit, and we
apprehend that it will not be regarded with COM
placency by the British Cabinet We suspect
that Mr.. Dallas's tenure of diplomatic service at
London is more fragile than is generally believed,
end we are quite prepared to hear BY the steamship
hch will leave England on the l4th inst, that he
has been profered every official facility for taking
himself speedily out of the British dominlons. We
do not say that this will be the result; but we have
good reasons for believing it extremely probable.
If our Executive Government desires to be sus
tanned in its prospective diplomatic collision with
that of Great Britain it must pursue all open,
frank, ingenious, manly course. Any attempt to
make personal Or parry capital, or to gain paltry,
pettfogging advantage, will be certain to rebound
TO its own serious injury.

From Our Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, May %, 1856.
Before Mr.. Benton went away it is said he
remarked upon the assault on Sumner, saying:
This is not an assault, Sir it is conspiracy;
eyes, Sir, conspiracy. These men hunt in
" couples Sir. 1t ia conspiracy, and the North
should know it," To what extent the allegation
il true may be partially discovered by the nvesti-
cations of the House Committee, though, of course,
all secrets that should not be disclosed it will be
impossible to come at, except inferentially and
by indirection. The tone of the Southern press,
which are really the best opponents Of Southern
opinions, and the bold ayowal of Mr.. Toombs on the
floor of the Senate are alike indicative OF unity OF
feeling and purpose on the part OF the Slavery men,
and imply very conclusively that the attempt to
abrdge the freedom Of speech in Congress lie no
merely individual affair. The work, it Is fair
10 presume, is done with concert and know.
ledge. And il is of no use TO disguise the
fact that for tie moment the late attempt In
this line has met with partial success.
Whoever has observed the course OF things
in both branches cannot doubt IT, A species of
terrorism has been instituted, and TO some extent
has prevailed This is illustrated by the calling to
accounts of numerous individuals for commenting
UPON the transaction which has brought abou. the
present state of things. This category, it is saed,
embraces Mr. Chsfee of Mass, Mr.. Campbell of
Ohio, Gel Webb, and even Mr.. Crittendeu, all of
whom, if report speaks truly, have been already
called upon to deny, excuse, or justify their COM
ments thereon; in word, TO give an accoun. Of
themselves for their criticisms upon an event
which is making the country ring with cen.
sure and denuneiation. The effect is also
seen in the tore Of the newspapers here, and
especially that Of The Inteuigeneer. How this at
tempt at suppression OF Free Speech will end, even
here cannot be doubted. If the waters be for an
instant damned, it will only be to pour in greater
volume when they mount the distractions placed
to confDe them Free Speech, in Congress and
out, will be maintained, though the means of main
tanning it are quite inefficient and inadequate to
the eIigences of the occasion. The bold DEM

BY an act of our present Legislature the Office OF
Town Superintendent of Schools is abolished, aud
the Supervisors of each County are required 70
meet tomorrow and elect one School Superntend-
ant for each Assembly District (out of the cltes)
who shall devote himself thoroughly to the work OF
visiting Schools, examining Teachers, &c, for
which he is to be paid $500 per annam, and any
further sum that the Supervisors may see tit to vote
Such we believe, are the main provisions OF the
act which is not now before us, and which IN the
main we heartily approve. 1t will reduce the
number of orr office. holders some seven hundred,
and ought to give us far better qualified examiners
of teachers, schools, &c.
Let us hope that the Supervisors will utterly dig
card personal and partisan considerations, and
appoint the very best men who Will accept the
oicc and agree to devote themselves to Its duties
If the other sort should in many cases be appointed
the law will have short lease of life; but with
good men to carry it into effect, the change WIN
prove sisnally and lastingly benefcent.
