The excited Northerners who have latterly
expressed so much horror at the idea of any
one in South Carolina justifying the assault on
Senator Sumner, will do we'll to read the re-
port Of the Massachusetts, Anti-Slavery Con-

local journal. They will learn from it two
things. First, they will perceive from the let

former boasted beforehand that che would pro-

ever been heard in the Senate From this I.
would to some extent appear that Mr.. SUM-

sumption can by no means justify the brutal
conduct Of Mr.. Brooks, it ought, one would
imagine, to lessen the popular sympathy for
Senator Sumner. A man who draws the sword
cannot we'll be pitied, if he perish by the
sword.
But the lesson conveyed by the niger wor-
shipping meeting does not rest here. One Of
the leading speakers-Mr. Charles L. Remond
assured the meeting that che could spit upo

thought that people might not like his saying
that "thst scoundrel George Washington had

was not so sure about that. "He knew his Wash

REIGN AFFAIRS ARE CoNDUCTED--THE FRENCH
MINISTER'S INTRIGUEs-PAYMENT OF TIE TEXAS
DEBT-CONDITIoN OF THE TREASURY, ETC.
WASHINGTON, June i, 1856.
An exceedingly interesting retrospect Of our dsren ss
with England upon the enlistment matter and Ia rsfe.
renee to the Central American dispute has just
disclosed to me- Early Ia April you will recollect the
HERALD suggested that the dispute about the Bay Islands
really between England and Honduras; that the
United States had other interest in the affair than
such refers to the neutrality and freedom Of the tran
sit States Of Central America and It suggested thss
her Msjetys government might well afford 10 cede It's
claims to the islands and thus get rid OF the conr oversy
in creditabe and fair way.
Now have occasion to know that Lord Clare ndon's
government received in friendly spirit the suggestions
contained in the HERALDs article, which repuoshe
in the London Times about the 23d Of April, aod
that informal overturss made by Mr.. Csamp-
ton TO the President on that basis, for = settle
ment OF all the outstanding differences between
he two governments. II was thus intmsted to the
President time ago, and apparently Received
in the kndest spirit, that Lord Clarendon with view
to amicabe arrangement Of the Central American
dispute, would frankly apologize to this for
the enlistment affair; would disavow all intention on his
part and the part Of his agents. to violate our laws
infringe sovereignty to enable the United
States FRANKLY to accept the apology and there drop
the subject. The enlistment dispute bsiny then re-
moved 1t the Invention u her Mssstys government
magnanouay and voluntarily to cede the Bay Islanis
to Honduras, so extending the hand OF fellowship to
Brother iona han.

HEALTH OF THE CITY-EFFEcrs OF SANITARY
REGULATIoNs.-The mortality tables of this
week exhibit a most satisfactory and conclu-
sive indication Of the benefits resulting from
the adoption of q strict system of sanitary
regulations. They report the lowest number
Of deaths of any week since November, 1852,
the nearest approach to the number Of this
week being the week ending May 81, 1858.
when it was 904, that of the present week
being 2s7. Taking the comparative total Of
deaths for the twenty-five corresponding
weeks, from the the 1st Of January of 1854,
J s55 and 1856, the result shows as follows
Ending June 3, 1854 ..l0,l76
No, 81 1922 e9
So that for the same period in 1856 there
were 2,l77 lees deaths than in 1855, and 2,O44
less than in 1854.
There is no question that this gratifying i'm
provement in the health Of the city is due to
the energetic and efficient manner in which
the Health Wardens have carried out the re-
gulstions laid down for their guidance by Mr..
Morton, the City Inspector. 1t shows, also. that
if still greater powers were given to him
still more marked result might be obtained.
Notwithstanding the foolish predictions as to
the probability of our being visited thi, sum
mer by the yellow fever, there never was 10
fact less chance of it. The city was never in
such q healthy condition, and never before
were the miasmatic Influences which co1sti.
tute the source of epidemics more completely
kept under.
