xxxIvth ceag.sss First Session.

WASHIN0Toh,J July 10.
SEsArs.-Mr. Brown, from the Commit
tee Of the District OF Columbia, reported q
bill ret.oceding Georgetown to Maryland.
The bill supplementary of the act amend
a,ory Of several acts respecting copy right
approved the Sd of June, 1881, WIS reported
BY Mr.. Brown from the Committee on Judi
ciary.
Mr.. Seward hoped the bill would imme-
diately be put upon its passage, as 1t was
of considerable Importance.
The bill was passed; also the bill for the
final abjudic alton of titles TO Swamp Lands
between private claimants aHdthc State OF
Louisiana.
HousE.-Mr. Keith eaid it was not his
purpose to widen any breach or any feel
ing; he much preferred the opposite. He
vindicated South Carolina from the chorges
brought against her conduct in the revolu-
ton; he wildly set forth the suffering and
patriotism of South Carolinans, conte nding
that the exploits of Massachusetts, in that
struggle had been greatly cxaggera ted.
Mr.. Keith, after speaking in dispsrage-
ment Of Massachusetts, and in no compli-
mentary terms of Mr.. %BurliDgame's senti.
ments and rhetoric, he said he was in the
Senate when the assault was committed
He knew that il would be committed unless
Mr.. Sumner should make an explanation or
apologize, Lut he repeated he knew not
the time when, nor the place where, the as
sault would be committed. He did not an
ticipate it would be in the Senate cham
Der.
The House took up the resolutions ofthe
Committee IN Elections. and resolved that
J. C. Allen was not, and VIM. B. Archer
was elected q representative from Illinois,
and invited to take his seat. Adjourned.

Halifax, July is, 7:3O, p. M.-The Lon.
don papers contain the following para
graph:
Negotiations between England and the
u. s., in regard to the existing difficulties,
were resumed on the 3Oth, under circum-
stances which justified the belief that mat
tiers were already in a fair condition towards
amicable adjustment of the points at issue
1t is believed that Parliament will be pro.
rogued on the 3lst inst, and that no further
party motions will be made this season.
The following is the only reference that
has been made to America since the sailing
of the Fulton.
Mr., Baily asked Lord Palmerston wheth.
err Mr.. Dallas, as representative to her Maj
-esty's Government had full power to settle
the Central American dispute or whether
he had any other powers than those Of Mr..
Buchanan. Palmerston said it was ucder-
staod that Mr.. Dallas had full power to dis.
cuss Central American affairs, and Buchan.

The weather continues magnificent for
harvest, and another fortnight would secure
farmers from my change in their prospec cts.
France-Reports have been for some

St. Petersburg was delayed in consequence.
The difficulties are probably arranged.
Accounts Of the weather and crops
throughout the country, even in the lately
inundated districts, are favorable.
Harvesting bad commenced in the south.
The vineyards also look well.
Italy affairs in Panama were becoming
worse, and an insurfection was feared.

More Southern Chivalry.

NEW YoRK, July 16.--At a later hour
last night at the Metropolitan Hotel, Mr..
Bashford w. Vicks, of South Carolina, at
tackled and beat with a cane Mr.. Jacob
Stanwood, of Massachusetts for saying
that the attack on Mr.. Sumner was brutal
and cowardly.
Mr.. Stanwood received one or two
blows on the head and face, and before he
had time to repel the attack the parties
were separated. Vicks was arrested and
locked up for the night. He was dis.
charged this morning, but a warrant was
sieued for his re arrest.

Tar RIVER, Ero.--The river YVES rising

The RIVER, Erc.--The river was rising
at st. Paul on the i2th. Here it is get
ting pretty well down to low water mark,
lacking about a foot Of it's lowest point last
summer,-and hes not been affected by the
late rains. II would indeed take consider.
able Of a rise at ST. Paul to cause any per-
cep tible upward movement at this point,
during such hot weather as we have had for
the past eight or ten days. We wouldn't
be positive, but should think that at leas I
six or seven feet of a rise in the upper coun.
I ~ would be %evaporated before it had time
to reach the best. looking town in Iowa.
Travel both by land and water has $ slack
ed off. But few boats are running except
the regular packets, and they, we believe,
ure not very crowded. At this time of the
year, or n little later, there is generally an
almost complete stoppage of emigra ton,
which contin ues until about the first week
in September. This is the season Of the
summer %siests, and both the travelling and
moving public are disposed to be as station
airy ss possible. Still the amount Of travel
that continues on the wing during the annu-
al interregnum would be considered large
in any other country except the United
States.
There is, however, still enough water in
the river for RATS to float down with CON-
fort and safety, though not with q very
great degree of expedition. A number
made their appearance yesterday, some
composed Of the raw material, and others OF
sawed lumber. We understood that a pref
ty pood.si one struck a pier on Wednes-
day, but the hands aboard must have been
more than ordinarily careless, or else they
were not %indisposed to paddle about awhile
in the water. We believe there is a good
supply of logs on hand, either at the differ.
ent mills or at accessible places on the main
streams above. There is therefore no fear
about a supply Of lumber, though the de-
mand continues such that there is no reduc-
ton Of prices.

-
THE "~DEMocRAric" RESOLUTIONS
Some of the resolutions passed at the Pro
Slavery Convention on Wednesday are of
a decidedly curious character, consider ing
recent occurrence in the political world
The second one declares that, in the belief
OF the convention, the principles of the
Kansas Nebraska bill are sound and solid,
and that Congress has no power to interfere
with the domestic institutions Of The terrific
ries. Why, did not the author of the reso-
lution5 knew that Messrs. Toombs and Dou-
glas themselves have repudiated a main por-
ton Of the old bill by the new bill which
they have lately forced through the Senate!
As lar as words 60 the new bill is a direct
repeal Of the main substance OF the Kansas
Nebraska b~ill,-and by this new perform
ance, as the Louisville Journa! says, "the
Democratic party is suddenly transformed
into a huge crab, making back tracks as no
mortal crab ever did before" As we have
said in another place, we do not give
Toombs and Douglas credit for any good in
tentiOns on account of the partial change of
front which they have presented. But the
fact remains the same. 1t does not become
disciples to affect more wisdom or more zeal
surprised that the ustute and circumspect
author OF the resolutions should be SO en-
Phatic in endorsing in full measure which
has already frightened its trainers, and
which they have made pretence Of purify
ing Of some Of its most odious provisions.
The resolution about know-nothingism
Is equally antagenistic TO the action of the
leaders of the pro-slavery party in Congress.
Thirteen Buchanan Senators, including
Mr. Brodhead, Mr.. Buchanan's right hand
supporter from Penns ylvania, voted to dis
franchise foreigners, by not allowing them
10 vote under the last Kansas bill of Mr..
Douglas. Under that bill Indians could
vote but not 4 foreigner. All the Buchanan
and Know Nothing Senators voted for the
oil with the amendment, declaring that no
resident who was a foreigner, even if he
mad declared his intentions to become a cit.
zen, should be allowed to vote whether OF
not Kansas should be free. Such actions
speak louder than any resolutions drawn W
'oF the occasion. But the worthy chairman
Of the committee doubtless thought il nee
eSsary for him to again attack the phantom
with Il great show of earnestness and res
~oiHtion, though he must have been wei
aware that it was cloves labor lost" Those
IN this region for whom it was intended
save become entirely too smart to be caugh
by such transparent tricks.
