By the news from Washington it will be seen
that Senator Sumner has been savagely and brutaly
assaulted, while sitting in his seat in the Senate
chamber, by the Hon. Mr.. Brooks of South Caro-
lina the reason assigned therefor being the Sena-
tors remarks on Mr.. Butler of South Carolina,
who is uncle to the man who made the attack. The
particulars show that Mr.. Sumner was struck una
wares over the head by loaded cane and stunned,
and then the ruffanly attack was continued with
many blows, the Hon. Mr.. Keitt of South Carolina
keeping any of those around, who might be so dis
posed, from attempting rescue. No meaner
exhibition of Southern cowardice-generally mis-
called Southern chvalry-was ever witnessed.
1t is not in the least a cause for wonder that
a member of the national House of Representa-
tives, assisted by another as a fender-of, should
attack q member of the national Senate, be-
cause, in the c0urse of o constitutional argu-
ment, the last had uttered words which the
first chose to consider distasteful. The reasons
for the absence Of collision between North and
South-cUllision of sentiment and person-which
existed few years back, have ceased; and as the
South has taken the Oligarchic ground that Slavery
ought TO exist, irrespective of color-hat there
must be governing class and class governed
that Democracy is delusOn and lie-we must
expect that Northern men in Washington, whether
members or not, will be assaulted, wounded or
killed, as the case may be- 30 long as the
North will bear it. The acts Of violence during
this session-includiog one murder-are siihpiy
oyertures to the drama Of which the prosecutions,
murders, robberies and war upon the free-S'ate
men in Kansas, constitute the first act We are
either to have Liberty or Slavery. Failing 10
silence the North by threats notwithstanding
the douphfaced creatures who 80 long misrepre-
sented the spirit of the Republic and Of the
age. the South now resorts TO actual 'o-
l.pce. II is reduced to a question whether
there il to be any more liberty of speech south
of Mason and DixOn's line, even IN the Ten
n lies square of the District of Columbia South
of that liberty ha. long since departed but whether
the common ground where the national representa-
tives meet is to be turned into slave plantation
where Northern members act under the lash' tne
bowie-kuife and the pistol, is question 10 oe 'e'
tied. That Congress will take any action In vie"
Of this new event, we shall not be rash enough 70
surmise: but if the Northern people are not gen.
erally the potroons they are taken for BY the nos
tls slsyebreeders and slavedrivers OF the South,
they will be heard from. As beginning tney
should express their sentiments upon this brutal
and das.ardly outrage in their popular assemblies
The Pulpit should not be silent.
IT. indeed We so on quietly to submit 10 such
outrages, we deserve to have our noses nattened'
our skins blacked, aud u be placed at work under
task masters; for We have lost the noblest attri-
butes of freemeD, and are virtually slaves

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
Prsx oar Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, May 2l, 1856.
The House has of late adopted new and in,
penious mode of dealing with the railroad bills.
1t has steadily refused to allow them to be dis,
cussed until after they were passed. Then the
discussion is allowed to proceed. Thus, Mr..
Letcher has been making speech to-day against
the Iowa, Florida and Alabama, and Wisconsin
grants, all of which have passed and have been
signed by the President, or put beyond the control
of the House by the favorite method Of moving to
reconsider and then tabling the motion, proceed
ing to-day even applied to the title of the Alabama
bill.
There are very great advantages in this mode Of
treating public measures. Indeed the practice 10
not applied only to the discussion Of them, but 70
their examination. The Railroad bills which have
been rushed through Congress have not been
printed, or we believe even seen by large ma
iority of the members. This is still better;
greater improvement Of proceeding than even tho
prevention of discussion. The House in thus doing
emuates the conduct Of Sidney Smith, who s'ld
be never read book he intend ~ review, because
the doing 40 was 60 apt TO prejudice his opinion.
msjority of the members vote Yea on the meas-
ures offered by the Public Land Committee with
out asking to be enlightened beyond knowing their
title and the bills are carried high and dry fast
as the various sets Of Yeas and Nays which they
have alone TO encounter in the way OF opposition,
can be called and answered to- IL is sn extraOrd'
nary fact that not oDe Of these Railroad bills hu
be- printed and laid upon Members desks, or been
opened for discussion from first TO last
Though this has been q subject Of general CON-
plant during the pendency Of the measurea yet tN
House has at length had the magnanimity to DO
Justice in the premises. To-day discussion ""
permitted Oh the Iowa and other b lis which hs'e
been signed by the President. Mr. Letcher @
Virginia took the floor and made an interesting
and of course highly instructive speech upon tnos'
measures. The debate will 90 on now wIteo"
obstruction. When it will be ended do no' pro
tend to know, but the reasons which eIi'Sea
against debating the bills during their pendeno
being removed, there seems no reason why dus"
sion .hOuld be repressed. If had q seat 10 "'
House would modestly suggest that about wv
days in the week be appropriated hereafter e,."
siyely to discussing the various bills who'
been or shall be put through under the f'''~
Question without time or opportunity being s''
for their examination or discussion.
But would not venture to suggest any 0'
of the policy adopted in the land bills. IL .n

New-York daily tribune., 1856-05-23

The waste OF day by both Houses of Congress,
on no better pretext than the death Of Member
whom not one-fourth of those voting to adjourn
ever knew, is very gross and mischievous hum
bug. Mr.. Clay among the last acts of his public
life, spoke against it, and gave notice that no
should resist it thereafter. But he is dead, while
Hunbug still fourishes in immortal youth.
Mr.. Miller, the deceased Member of the House
from Missouri, was, we believe, worthy, honest
msD, who meant in all things to do right But his
death without having taken his seat in the present
House. and without having ever seen half its Mem
bers, sffords them no shadow Of excuse for taking
q days pay for doing nothing Assuming that no
was in bis day faithful, Industrious useful Men,
Der, the true way to commemorate him was by
increased diligence, not by ideness Had tho
House resolved to do all extra good days work
say by passing the Homestead bill--in honor OF
his memory, that would have been honoring 1t To
some purpose.

The superiority of American inventive ge
MUS. not only over that of oar English pro-
genilors, but indeed Of all other nations has
become too tangible to be disputed. 1t was
notorious al the worlds fair in London, that
the Americans far outstrippcd all Others in
the useful inventions which they supplied.
We beat the English in vessels, railroads,
tplegraphs and manufactures by power
We are beating them in the scientific arts of
chemistry and medicine, as we have long
beat the rest Of mankind. A new and prac-
tcal proof of this assertion is shown in the
fact that the principal remedies of the allied
armies Of the east are furnished from the lab
oratory of our own countryman. DR.. J. G.
