WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-As Mr.. Greeley of
the New York Tribune, was coming from the
Capitol this afternoon, he was attacked by Mr..
Rust, of Arkansas, who, with his fists, inflict-
ed several blows on Mr.. Greelcy's head; and
afterwards, as he was approaching the Nation
al Hotel, Mr. Rust struck his arm severely
with a stick. The assault, it is presumed, was
in consequence of certain structures in Wash
ington letter in the Tribune of Monday, on Mr.
Rust's proposition in the House, requesting
the candidates Tor the Speakership to withdraw
from the contest.

THE LIoUoR BILL IN THE SEyATE.-The Uar-
risburg correspondent of the Phila'd. Ledger,
.rifing under date of the 3lst. Feb, says:
Tho Liquor question is now fully before the
Senate. Like the House, that body is divided
Into three factions--those in favor of the nm
conditional repeal of the act of last session,
and return to the old license system, those
Opposed to a repeal of that act under any Cir
<cumstances, and those in favor of the repeal
and the substitution of restrictive license sys
tem The former are not in a majority in the
Senate as they in the House, but are very
pertinacious in their efforts to put themselves
right upon the record. The first movement
made by them yesterday, to have the
House bill, repeating the existing law, refer

A dispatch from Cincinnati, dated Jan. %,
says:-sThere was quite stampede among
the slaves in the border counties of Kentucky,
in this vicinity, last night, and several of the
fugtivcs having been discovered here, the Of
fccrs, at noon to-day. proceeded to arrest
them. On approaching the house where the
slaves were sccreted, the latter fired upon the
officers, wounding two or three spectators, but
not seriously. One slave woman, finding es-
cape impossible, attempted to cut the throats
of her three children, and so far succeeded as
to kill one of them instantly, and wound the
other two very severely. Six of the slaves
were apprehended. Eight are said to have
made their escape.

Gov. SHANNON is now violently denounced
by the s'BOrder RufIians'' and all their news
paper organs, for making peace with the pco-
pie of Lawrence during the late outbreak
They profess to consider the terms of the treaty
as outrageous and insulting. The truth ap-
pears to be that, when the Governor reached
Lawrence and listened to the statements of the
Free Soilcrs, he found that he had been eyre
giOusly deceived by the Border Ruffians, and
so did not hesitate TO do the best lie could, by
making peace upon such terms as he thought
likely to satisfy both parties.

qua and Great Britain we'd before now have
concluded treaty satistorv TO the fermer

kindred questions, and atAc same time not
conflicting with the Clayton.,Iwcr treaty.

According to an official decrcekust receiy-
cd from Stockholm, the Swec,iih Govern
ment has removed the import andsxport duty
from various kinds of iron.
In the Senate, to-day, Mr.. Seward made an
able speech on Central American ai:.irs, en-
forcing the Monroe doctrine i'm forcibIc Ian
guage, and aluding to the possibility OF q war
with England. Concerning the present con-
iict now CONFUSING Europe, he says the Brit
lSh administration has long been unfaithful to
the cause of free institutions in Europe, and
the French empire is, in my eyes, a hateful
usurpation. Nevertheless, both these admin
istratiOns are temporary and practically ephcm-
eral, while the Russian empire is an obstinate
and portentious reality. l accept, says Mr..
Seward farther, the oracular exposition of the
first Napoleon, and believing that Europe must

propricty requires us TO intervene on their
side. should be very unwilling to engage my
country in combination against them. | re.
grct also the sad condition of the Central A
merican States, which seems to render them as
incapable of profiting by our Intervention as
the French people were when in 1889 they de-
nianded a like interposition, the fulflment of
precedent treaties of commerce and alliance.
Nevertheless war with Great Britain is among
the possible solutions of present cmbarrass-
ment. We certainly can look for no modera-
tion on her part hereafter if we overlook her
persistent refusal TO fulfil this the most impor-
tant of all our international engagements. 1t
will be an idle dream to suppose ourselves free
and safe, if we leave her to waylay us on all
sides of all our isthmus passages from our At
lantic region to the Pacific States. He coun-
sells notice to Great Britain that we shall in
terfcre to prevent her exercise of dominion in
South America, if it shall not be discountin-
ncd within year, and also that authority be
now given to the President to execute that de-
lyed purpose.
