The official report of the proceedings Of
the Peace Congress had been published, but
ii is but liule more than a recapi,ulation Of

Most Of the interesting features of the
Pence Conference happened after the treaty
was signed in the shape OF an interchange
Of opinion on subjects Of European interest.
Count Wnlewski invited this interchange
of sentiment, and among other things re-
ferred 10 the disturbed condition Of Italy,
recommending that the suggestions Of a

ernments, in which suggestions the plenipo-
ien,iaries generally heartily agreed.

WASHINGTON, August L.
SENArE.~-Mr. Crittenden presented the
memorial Of Lieut.. Bartlett relative to his
case, and that Of the Naval Board Commits
sioner thereon. Mr.. Crittenden addressed
the Senate at some length on the subject.
HorsK.-Mr- B0yce said be had q certf-
cate from the Governor Of South Carolina,
stating that Preston s. Brooks was elected
from the Fourth Congressional District, and
nc asked that he be now sworn in.
Mr.. brooks advanced to The chair of the
speaker who administered to him the oath to
support the Constitution Of the United
States.
The consideration Of tho Kansas contested
election case was resumed.
The clerk completed reading Reeder's
statement, commenced yesterday.
The latter refers TO various presidents,
and quotes Cass and Buchanan to show that
delegate may BE- admitted in the absence
OF specific law for that purpose, which he
(Reeder) argues to support the position here
tofore assumed by him.
uen. hitheld, sitting member, said his
election should not be reversed, without n
full and impartial hearing; maintained that
he was elected under statute passed in
pursuance of organic law, and was, there
fore, entitled to remain where he was. There
was no proper legal challenger of his rights,
from the fact that he had no competitor in
the canvass. Hence, Reeder being volun-
teer TO contest his seat, but apart from this,
Recder is estoppel, having certified the Leg
islative Assembly as legal, and had power to
right such wrongs as were represented to
exist. lie insisted that every rule of testi-
mony in this case was violated by the Kansas
Investigating Committee.

Col. Tom Benton is = great man, sir! He

Benton to run away with him. Such thing
would not have occurred to him, for he re-
garded Col. Bent IN with becoming ave. But
Col. Benton hat u daughter, a sweet and
aminble girl, OF whom young Fremont was
not At oil in awe. He had passed MANY nm
evening in her company, and the oftener he
saw her the oftencr he wished to see her.
Love, overcame timidity, until the. day he
found himself, hat in hand, with heated
breath, in the presence Of the great Tom
Benton, asking him for his daughter. But
Tom Benton would not do it. lie was in
exorable, and he refused to do what in few
days afterwards he was ready to do-Tom
refused to "givc him jessie. lie also for
babe Fremont the house; but that the
draughtsman cared little for, because it was
not the house he wanted. Finding all per-
sunsion useless, tae young couple determined
to be married clandestnely, and so they set
about the preliI.naries. They found the
Protestant clergy over awed by the dignity
OF Col. Benton, and afraid to act; but they
found Catholic Priest who stood in no such
fear, and the knot MAS tied. just before the
decisive step WAS taAen, and while her last
step fingered upon the patcrnnl Threshold,
tho sweet daughters heart yonrned for the
mother, whom she was thus abruptly leaving,
perhaps forever, and shs hung her head and
sobbed. The carriage door stood open, tho
horse pranced, and another moment and all

WELL DoNE.--At the Republican State
Ratification meeting, at Indianapolis, Ind,
on the 18th inst, Mr.. Morena, one Of the
1 Buchanan electors, made speech in favor
of Fremont. He says il the Buehaneers
elect him, he shall vote for Fremont in the
electoral college, Gate City.
Simply a lie, and not we'll told at that.
There is no such Buchanan Elector in lndi-
ana, and no prominent Democrat Of that
name in the State. Try again Times.
The recklessness with which the Times
utters falsehoods is not often paralleled.
No matter how notorious the fact, if it mill
tates against the Black Democracy, it will
lie 1t square down without the slightest hest
taton.
As to the matter alluded to above, it has
been frequently stated, and the Times is the
first paner We have know to deny it. our
particular authority for the statement was
the Cincinnati Gd-ene. which we presume
knows as much about the matter rs the
Times. But TO make the matter little
more emphatic, and fasten the falschood d.
reetly upon the Times, Mr.. p. Davey au-
thorizes us to say that he is a resident of
Rookport, Ind. that w. c. Moreau, y per-
son with whom he is well and personally
acquainted, and resident Of the same town,
is candidate for elector upon the Demo-
cratic ticket, and is canvassing the State
and making speeches for Fremont; and that
our statement is entirely and literally cor
rect. Several other persons in town, from
the same place, give US additional assurances
Of the facts.

slaveryin IN. Territories.

Those who imagine that the question Of
slavery extension is confined to Kansas, are
mistaken. Its not the territory OF Kansas
merely thai the slave power seeks to annex..to
its domain. The principle that slavery Is the
lao Of the territories is infinitely moro impor-
tant than even the admission OF Kansas as a
slave State, and this principle is sought now
to be established.
Why should not Nebraska be slave hold
ing territory? A lawyer might answer, be-
cause slaves cannot lawfully be held there
No law recognizes such relation or insttu-
ton. Too fast, sirl The organic law Of
Kansas and Nebraska recognizes tho right Of
slave property, and no code in the Union does
more. ''The institution" is nowhere estab-
lished by law. 1t is only recognized. The
organic law Of Kansas and Nebraska makes
special provision for questions arising out
OF claims to a man rs = slave.
There are slaves, held as such, in the terri
tory Of Nebraska now. The Federal Judges
OF the Territory, it is understood, are Of the
opinion thnt slGve-holding, not being prohib-
tied, is lawful. II the doctrine Of the Gin
cinnati platform prevails, even the territor ial
legislature with power to do almost every
thing within the compass Of "squstter sover-
elgaty,") has no power to prohibit. it. One
OF those sacred relations, protected by the
Constitution and free from the interference
OF even squatter sovereignty, is this patri-
archal institution. Cincinnati Gaaettc.
