Brownl0w on the Virginia Democratic
Convention.

Mr.. Brownow, in the Knoxville Whig of the
22d thus gives his report of the late Virginia De-
mocratic State Convention in Richmond
am styled by Mr.. Richie, of the Enquirer,
I" the grand high priest Of the Know-Nothings of
Tennessee and therefore authority to the breth
rem in Virginia. Now, did report and now
repeat the report, that called in at the sitting of
the Democratic State Convention in the African
church in Richmond, where remained until late
hour-I report that of the six hundred delegates
present, not less than one-third of the number
were either drunk, or under the influence of ar
dent spiritsI report that it was the most ruffan-
like and disorderly assembly ever was in--that
the editor of Lynchburg Democratic paper put
in nomination Hunter for the Presidency, and
swore by Cd, in public speech, that he was
ready for the contest Something like one-third
of the delegation hissed him-whereupon he d ID
them, and said if they were accustomed to wear
broad-cloth coats, and clean shirts, and had never
been convicted of pententiary offences, and would
give him their names, he would settle with them
on the coming day, by the rules governing honor
able meni
Governor Floyd, who made the only sensible
and sober remarks heard, stated that gentlemen
need not make light of the w-Nothng nomi-
nations at Philadelphia--that party had nominated
a man both popular and conservative, who thou.
sands would delight to honor, and to beat him,
even in the Old Dominion, the Democracy would
have to work like beavers
further report that Mr. Richie was In that
convention, and can testify that report correctly
hope he will copy this my last and official report

The Anti.Nebraska Caucus.

The National Era, the Republican organ gives
the following Official report Of the proceedings Of
their caucns held on Monday night. As follows
New Jersey was first called upon, upon whose
behalf Pennington responded, he being the only
member from that State present. His remarks
were rather lugubrous. A large party, he said,
supported Fillmore and Donelson in that State
and that must make a conservative nomination,
or he could not vouch for our carrying the
State. He suggested that the members of Con-
gross should indicate a nomination, but the
proposal met with no favor. Pennsylvania next
called. Allison spoke for the western part OF
the State in hopeful strain; j. c. Campbell
for the eastern part in more doubtful tone. OHIO
was vouched for by Harlan, L. ID. Campbell, Gallo
way, Giddings, and Watson, all OF whom appeared
to feel pretty well about that State, although Mr.
Horton, who represents strong Democratic dis
trict, spoke more doubtingly than the rest. The
meeting closed about half past ten, with most
stirring aud eloquent speech from Gov. Seward, IN
dicating somewhat line of policy, which met with
great favor.
Pennington is "lugubrious it seems, and J. O.
Campbell spoke In doubtful tone about Eastern
Pennsylvania. Then Gov. Seward indicated a line
of policy which met with great favor. What is
this line Of policys Is it to run separate cand-
date in every Northern Statei
P. s. We find in the Washington correspond
ence of the New York Evening Post, the following
sketch of Gov Stewards "plan"
Ifthe House, in which the people we're specially
represented, demanded the admission of Kansas,
and the Senate said, No, the people at the polls
would see to it that their representatives were
vndicated, and that President was elected who
would not block the way against her admission.
It would not be necessary 10 make platforms or
candidates in such event. il their representatives
here made up such an issue for them to settle.
The uprising of the people would settle all that
very easily. And he doubted whether, if such an
issue was made between the House and the Presi-
dent, the Chairman of the Ways and Means, Mr..
Campbell, of Ohio, would allow the latter to OBJ
tain any appropriation to be applied to keep the
invaders.

Suffrage in Washington.

On yesterday,
The House resumed the consideration Of the bill
defining the rights of voters and the duties Of CON-
missioners of elections in the city of Washington,
and for other purposes the question being on sec
onding the demand for the previous question.
The question was taken, and the previous ques-
ton was seconded--ayes 81, noes 65.
Mr. TRIPPE, Of Georgia, asked that there might
be recount, as, while the tellers announcing
the result Of the vote to the Chair four gentlemen
were passing between them who were against sec
onding the demand for the previous question, and
whose votes, by inadvertence, were not reported.
The SPEAKER stated that recount could only
be had by unanimous consent.
Objection was made.
The question then being on ordering the main
question to be now put the yeas and nays were
demanded and ordered, and being taken resulted
yeas 73, nays 83. So the House refused to order
the main question.
Mr.. Z0LLICOFFER, of Tennessee, moved to
reconsider the vote seconding the demand for the
previous question. sg.a
discussion ensued as to the effect of the vote
refusing to order the main question, it being con
tended, on the one side, that the question stood
as If no motion for the previous question had been
made, and, on the other, that the effect of the
vote just taken TO postpone action on the bill
until tomorrow. ttg @
The SPEAKER sustained the latter view; and,
objection having been made to the motion to re-
consider the vote secondng the demand for the
previous question, the Chair ruled that it was in
order. ,a F
Mr.. COBB, of Georgia, appealed from the deci-
sion of the Chair, on the ground that the House
could not reconsider anything but vote. The
motion of the gentleman from Tennessee did not
propose to reconsider a vote The constitution
provided that every vote should be recorded by
yeas and nays upon the demand of one-fifth of the
members present. 1t never had been held that
the yeas and nays could be demanded upon a
second to the previous question; and so far as he
knew, vote seconding the demand for the pre-
vious question had never been reconsidered If
the Chair entertained the motion to reconsider 1t
must be upon the ground that it was such vote
as, under the constitution, was authorized to be
recorded on the journal by yeas and nays.
The question was briefly discussed; when
Mr. SMITH, of Tennessee, moved that the House
adjourn; which motion was not agreed to-yeas
50, nays 98.
Mr.. ZOLLICOFFER was not sure that he was
present when the vote was taken on seconding the
demand for the previous question, and he there
fore felt IL proper to state that had he been present
he should not have voted with the majority. This
being the case, upon reflection, he doubted whe-
ther it was his right to submit the motion pending,
and he would therefore Withdraw it.
Mr.. CHAFFEE, of Massachusetts,, renewed the
motion.
Mr.. ORR renewed the question of order raised
by Mr.. CoBB, Of Georgia.
The CHAIR ruled in accordance with his former
decision, and referred to a precedent in the pro-
ceedings Of the House to sustain him.
The House then adjourned.

tablet ordered by the Councils Of Philadelphia, in
1854, for the Washington National Monument. 1t

work surrounds the whole, and in the centre the
arms of the city are displayed in bas-relief An
eagle, with scroll extending from its beak to the
sides-on which are cut the words, Declaration

THE New YoRK LIQUOR LAw.-The New York
Court Of Appeals has decided that the Liquor law
of that State is unconstitutional
The right of seizure is first declared unconstitu-
tional. The court then decides the present law
unconstitutional, for the reason that it interferes
with property acquired before its passage The
court, however, afdrms the right of the Legisla-
ture to enact law to apply to liquor hereafter
purchased. Thus it seems that the law only, and
not the principle of prohibition is unconstitutional

THE LAST PRoTEsrANT IN MADKIRA.--Some years
ago, there was a considerable number of people in
Madeira who in spite of their priests readers
of the Bible. That heresy, it was called, appears
to be now quite suppressed. The transgressors
mostly smigrated to America, impelled partly per-
haps, by the general distress in the Island, from
the failure of the vines but much more by sys-
tenn of incessant annoyance to which they were
subjected. One of them remained on the Island,
Senior De Refs, man of considerable property.
This man has lately died. In his win he warned
his friends that he was sure that his body would
not be allowed to be inferred in the cemetery, but
that was of no consequence SO it has turned out.
He was refused burial at all for three days. At
length twelve policemen were sent out to see the
body buried in the highway road leading to Porto
de Cruz, and TO prevent any Of his friends follow
ing. Such was the treatment accorded to the last
resident Protestant in the sunny Isle of Madeira

PriyateeriuR.

The Baltimore American remarks that, under
the principle now established by the allied powers,
privateering would be piracy, and this, our con-
temporary presumes, is the object of the agree.
ment to which England and France have come, and
which they will no DOUBT seek to impose upon the
world as international law.
The Powers making the declaration have, how
ever, expressly disclamed for it obligatory char
acter upon nations not represented in the Confer
ence, and content themselves with resolution to
apply to such nations, and solicit their acquiesence
in the principle. Such an application to this coun.
try would be entirely useless And it, in the event
of war, privateering should be treated as piracy
and prisoners hung up, the United States govern.
ment would be compelled to retaliate and hang up
every prisoner taken from the government vessels
of its enemy. On the shoulders of the party pro
nouncing privateering piracy, would rest the en-
tire responsibility of the barbarous character
which the war, in such an event, would necessarily
assume.

Why Russia has Yielded.

A late article in the London Quarterly Review,
attributed to Layard, undertakes to show'why Rus
sia has yielded, and why England has beenimpelI.
ed to close the warwhich he evidently regrets her
having done, before Russia has been thoroughly
and finally damaged-and how Turkey ought to
be treated with view to her regeneration. He
asserts that the great and overwhelming difficult
ty which at last compelled the Emperor to yield ;,
was "the absolute destruction of all the means Of
transport throughout the south of Russia" He
then goes on to say, that after all, she is not SO
permanently crippled as people may fancy; that
"the territorial concessions" demanded Of her. are
'of trivial nature" and boldly maintains that lit
will eventually prove a source of great misfortune
to Europe, that the demands of the allies were not
more commensurate with the sacrifices which they
have made and with the object of the war" 1t is
his idea that Russia will go to work, now that she
knows what her weak points are, putting her pow.
er in order again-especally by railways connecting
the principal military positions Of the enpirs-and
that next time, such an Alliance against her may
not be possible. Meanwhile, the French Empe-
ror has managed to leave fl, just as he has made
the most of the Alliance.
