will be successfully laid within one year,

THE SUMNER AssAULT-TOte on the Er-
pusion of Mr.. Brooks.-In the House Of
Representatives the discussion of the assault
of Mr.. Sumner was brought to direct
vote on Monday. The report Of the minori-
ty of the committee declaring that the House
has no jurisdiction in the case was rejected
by vote of 145 to Sc, and the majority
for the expulsion Of Mr.. Brooks then COM
ing up, the vote on its passage stood 121,
nays 95. The expulsion of member re-
quiring two-thirds vote-it was not adopt
ed. The statement of Mr.. Edmundson that
he was aware of the intention of Mr.. Brooks
to make the assault, and was present to 'see
fair play" caused considerable sensation,
coupled with his assertion that they believ-
ed Mr.. Sumner to be armed, which accounts
for the extreme violence of the assault, the
object being to deprive him of the power Of
using arms if he should have them.
Immediately after the vote was taken Mr..
Brooks arose and addressed the House at
considerable length, partly in justification
of the assault and partly in reply to the per-
sonal attacks made on him by members and
by the people of the North, concluding with
the announcement Of the fact that he had
resigned his seat as member of the thirty
fourth Congress, stating that in anticipation
of the result he had two weeks previously
forwarded his resignation to the Governor
of South Carolina

The TRIAL OF HERBERT FOR THE MURDER
OF KEETING. This case came up for trial
before the Criminal Court of Washington
city on the 9th inst It has created con-
siderable interest, and consequently attrac
ted large crowd to the courtroom
Thursday evening all the witnesses for the
United States had been examined, but moth
ing of Importance was elected more than
was given in before the magistrate at the pre-
liminary examination, with the bare excep-
ton that Patrick Keeting, brother Of the
man killed, did not corroborate the testimo-
ny given by him before the committing JUS
tees. His evidence taken down at the
time, and acknowledged then to be correct,
was read to the jury. Friday morning the
evidence for the defence was commenced,
which was only repetition of that given
previously. The case was finally given to
the jury at three o'clock on Saturday after
noon, with instruction from Judge Craw-
6ord to the effect that if they believed that
Herbert considered himself in imminent
danger Of great bodily harm at the time of
firing the pistol, and that he was overpow-
cred by superior numbers, it was justiGable
homicide, it being immaterial by whom the
affray was commenced. The jury were still
out, unable to agree upon verdict, up to
late hour on Monday evening. 1t is as
certained that they stand ten for acquittal,
and two for conviction of manslaughter.
We learn, since the above was in type,
that the jury was discharged On Tuesday in
consequence of not being able to agree upon
a verdict, and that the case was to be tried
before another jury on yesterday.
From SAN FRANcIsco.-News to the Goth
ult. states that there was no decrease of the
excitement at San Francisco. Very few
persons had responded to the Governors
proclamation of June 4th The Vigilance
Committee had opened books and were re-
ceiving recruits by thousands. The Com
mittee had six thousand stand of arms and
thirty pieces of cannon. Their forces diyid-
ed into ten regiments. They had line of
breast works erected in front of the Com
mittee room, with an alarm bell on the top
of the building.
They have also several pieces of cannon
stationed on the top of the adjacent house
to defend their position.
The Governor gathered few hundred men
together and went to Benicia to get arms
and ammunition from the United States Ar
senal, General Wood refused to give them
to the Governors forces and they encamped
near that city.
Six more rogues have been hanged by
the committee who continue arresting OBJ
jectionable characters.
On the receipt Of the Governors procla-
nation, nearly all the towns of the interior
held enthusiastic meetings endorsing the
committee and formed organizations to as
sist them in carrying out their measures.
Crimes and causualities as usual are
chronicled in large numbers in the papers.
The political intelligence is Of no particu-
lar interest. Probably there never was
period when the people, even leading poll
ticians, said less about political matters than
now No interest is manifested in the
Presidential election no special organiza-
ton of parties for the canvass has taken
place.
