A SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST THE u. STATES.
The Liverpool Times of March 9th says that
the group of unsettled questions" to which the
American Minister referred in his London speech
is increasing.
For the Brazilian mail this week brings an
account of occurrences connected with the slave
trade which are sure TO compica,e our relations
with the L. States without any supertluous 'thun
der, from the Prnting,Ilo Square. 1t appears
that an organized conspiracy has been arranged
at Boston and New York for fitting out slavnrs
10 supply the Brazil market with negroes from
the coast Of Africa. and recently SLAYER man
ned by AN American crew, and sailing under the
American flag, has been captured aud condemned
by the Brazilian Government under crcum stan
ces which leave no doubt of the fact that this
horrd traffic has received "a fresh smuant in
the ports of the American Onion. A British crni
ser aud an American ship of war were near
coming into collision off Brazil respecting this
fugitive SLAYER. All these circumstances are cal
culated seriously to embarrass the present mis-
understanding between this country and the u
nited States"
The Times surely cannot have read the ne.
counts from Rn Janeiru correctly. The trouble
between the English and Americans then wa. on
account of a Yankee clipper whom the former
suspected Of being Russian privateer.

OF THE L. S. NAIL STEAMER
John Z. Stephens.
Iic0 Ueehs Later NeacS.

The Stephens arrived at San Francisco on Tues
day morning last at o'clock. She brings
two weeks later news, and 561 passengers
Shortly after the Stephens left Acapulco, it was
discovered that Charley Duane, who was recently
shipped by the Vigilance Committee, had come
aboard and slowed himself away with the inten-
ton of returning to San Francisco. Fortunately
the Sonora was met on the 26th, and he was ship
ped to Panama. much, however, against his will
The Isthmus is healthy and the railroad is
in good running order
BY the John l.. Stephens we have dates
from New York to the 5th Of June, and
New Orleans to the 18th.
The British minister, Mr.. Champion and
the three Consuls implicated with him have
at last been dismissed by president Pierce
and have taken their departure for Europe.
This event, so long expected, has created no
great excitement though there are various
speculations as to the effect the movements
may have on future intercourse between the
two countries. 1t seems, however, doubtful
whether hostilities will occur.
The SENATE OUTRAGE.
The Senate chamber of the United States
has recently been the theatre of bloody fra,
cas-; Hon. = S. Brooks, of South Carolina,
having severely beaten with cane Senator
Sumner of Massachusetts. The event has
caused great excitement in Massachusetts,
The Legislature made it the subject of spe-
cial action, and public meetings had been
held throughout the State, which were adj
dressed in the most violent manner. On
the other hand, Mr. Brooks conduct has
been sustained by some of the oldest and
most influential members of the Senate. He
has been highly commended for the act
throughout his own State. The cause Of the
attack was the casting of aspersion, in a
speech made by Summer, upon South Carroll
ma as a State and personal abuse of Senator
Butler who is a relation of Mr.. Brooks
Senator Butler was absent from the Senate
during the delivery Of the speech and at the
time of the assault.
The KANSAS Troubles.
Affairs in Kansas are growing more serious
The origin of the difficulties is well known
and late acts, on the part of both parties, are
leading to dangerous results 1t appears
that the Free State hotel at Lawrence was
deystroyed, and also the materials of print
inc office. This caused a disturbance between
the parties and the loss Of several lives. The
very latest from the scenes of riot is up to 4th
Of June, but there are no important details.

Arguments in favor of Terry.

Judge b. o. Shattuck, of San Francisco. has pub
lished a letter in which he takes the ground that
Judge Terry is cXcusable for stabbing Hopkins
upon the ground that q state of war existed, and
that Terry, Ashe and those acting with them
were acting as a skirmishing party. He regards
Terry's confinement correct upon the principle
of his being prisoner of war He further says
that if Durkee was eXcusable for capturing the
arms, because he acting under the orders of
the Vigilance Committee, that Judge Terry is
excusable for the act committed by him. as he
Terry, was acting under the general orders of the
Governor.
The Judges doctrine does not seem to meet
with much favor from that portion of the press
which has sustained the Vigilance Committee.
The last mentioned position of the Judges it
seems to us is entitled to some respect, inasmuch
as upon this may hang the question of guilty in
tention. 1t makes no difference how absurd the
position taken by Terry was, if he was not in
stigated to the act by criminal desire an aban-
doned heart, it cannot be considered murder. The
following card published by gentlemen Of un-
doubted veracity is quite good as tar as it goes
The objects of all these gentlemen is probably to
allay public feeling and in that respect they show
great deal better sense, than the gentlemen
editors who illuminate such denunciatory articles
against the Committee:
A Card,
Having learned, with much regret. that rumors
have been circulated preudcial to the character
of Judge D. S Terry. hope the public will not
regard our statement on the subject as Obtrusive
We have known him from bOyhood up to the
present time. Whenever an alarm of Mexican or
Indian incurson was sounded upon the frontier of
Texas young Terry came forth mantully in de-
Tense of the helpless families. There we have
often met him, serving his country without rations
or even the hope of pecuniary reward. Never
did we there hear of his having any bros with
his countrvmen. On the contrary, he was regard
ed by us and we think by all. a good citizen,
of peaceabe dameanor, and also as young man
peculiarly exempt from the too common vices of
gaming and drinking.
If he had been engaged in any disreputable
brols, we were in situation to have learned of
them. and we certainly never beard any laid to
his charge. For truthtulness, manly candor, and
strict integrity in all his transactions, he has ever
been noted. His social qualities and attachment
to his friends. his COnsancy and devotion to his
ACCOMPLISHED wife. constitute model worthy Of
imitation, and are to be regarded of the en-
nobling qualities of cur nature. We sincerely
hope that his character may not he miSiudged in
the present excited state of public feeling. Know
ing him intimately, and for many years we
most unhesiatingly state, that in the limit of our
acquaintance there are but few, if any, living
possessed of more brilliant qualities, or who bid
so fair for a life of honor and usefulness to the
country. RICHARD ROMAN,
