BY the arrival Of the steamship Gen. Rusk, we have
Galveston papers to the 18th inst
The Houston Price Current Of the 10th, speaking OF
the frost on the night of the 18th, says:
1--WE fear this frost has proved the last fatal blow
to the wheat crop, if it escaped the frost Of ts
9th. We are as yet without reports from the wheat
region. In McLennan and Travis Counties, and be-
low the crop, the morning of the 9TH, did not sp
pear to retain any life whatever"
Cotton seed is in some portions Of the coup-
try, though the general impression is that there
plenty to be had with little trouble to replant for
full crop. 1t will have to be hauled in some sections,
however, many miles.
'Com is also scarce for planting, and wc hear OF
loads of NewOrleans corn being sent from here l5O
to 800 miles.
From the sugar region 80 far as we can learn, tho
frosts have not materially injured the prospect for
large crop this year. Planters there generally In
good spirits and confident that they will this yea
produce more than ever before"
The Washington american Of the 1ith inst. says:
THE crops, that supposed TO be but partially
injured by the late fross rather slow about making
another show of life. In fact fear that the damage
is greater than was at first supposed.
The weather still continues cold with every pros
pect of another frost fruit Of every description, We
fear, will be worth premium in Texas the ensuing
year.
There was n fall of snow at Washington on tho

On the first glance at the nulIf,in resolutions
Of Alderman Wilson (now under indictment for
rot) We we're apprehensise that he had overlooked
8 law Immediately interfering with some Of his
most influential constituents-we mean the law to
prevent the robbing Of immigrants BY the sale of
fraudulent passage tickets, business Of great i'm
portance to the First Ward and one with which
the Alderman is undoubtedly familiar. Bat he has
reached it by sweeping phrase; "all other acts
which do not please his fastidiOus taste ''shan bs
considered null and void The immigrant swim
ders may rest easy; Alderman Wilson assures
them that the State shall not interfere with their
business, nor trample on their Constitutional
rights; and thirteen other Aldermen say amen to
the indicted gentleman from the First.

is at work to overthrow laws which he deems op-

TO snnul the Grand Jury, or at least enjOin that
body from indicting Aldermen for riot and ruiisn-
sm at the polls. Have not the friends Of William
Wilson, in the First Ward, clear majority Of the
hard-fsted and may they not decide who and what
shall vote therein 1t is manifestly case of op-
preston, Of Black Republican party outrage to in.

THE LATEST NEWS.

FURTHER FROM CALIFORNIA.

NEwfRLkAss, Monday, April Y, 1877
The steamship Empire City from Havana having
arrived up we gather few additional particulars of
California and Isthmus news The Purser reports
that the steamship Illinois, from AspinwaI for New
York, has nearly million and hall of dollars in gold
on freight, and about seventy of Col. Lockridge's
force, including Generals Wheat and Hornsby. The
Empire City brings 100 Of the unfortunate Nicsra-
guans while Others were left behind at Aspinwall,
whittier they were all taken in British vessels. The
Illinois connected at the Isthmus with the steamer j.
L. Stephens from San Francisco but as that vessel
did not touch at San Juan del Sur get nothing ad
donal of an authentic nature in regard to the posi-
ton Of Gen. Walker Private dispatches, however,
state that he was well supplied with provisions, and
likely to hold out at Rvas for several months. From
the same source get a confirmation of Walker and
Henningsens recently reported victories over the Costa
Rcans, and a rumOr that another attack vas shortly
expected. Gen. Walkers brother who came passen-
ger in the Empire City, died on Sunday
Ex-senator Foote, who of late has held a prominent
position in the ranks of the American party has gone
over TO the Democrats.
Chinese products were rapidly advancing in tho Col

New-York daily tribune., 1857-04-29

The result of the recent election for Mayor of
the City of Leavenworth, in Kansas, and the mum.
Der of votes polled, when compared with the State
election Of Oct. 6, 1856, only six months previous,
affords some curious indications as to the honesty
Of that election. At the recent election for Mayor
there can be no doubt that both parties did their
best, and pOlled all the votes they could muster
The result was SAG votes for Adams the Free-Sol
candidate, 1873 for Shannon, and 90 for Taylor,
being an aggregate of 500 votes for all the candi
dates-just about the vote that might be expected
in town Of some 500 inhabitants.
Now compare this with the vote Of October last.
Upon that OCCASION out of the 1876 votes cast for
Whitfield as Congressional Delegate, and BY virtue
Of which he not only drew his pay but sat in Con.
gress as the recognized delegate Of the Territory,
not less than 1,458 were given in the town of
Leayenworth alone-more than the whole resident
populatiOn-men, women and children; for it must
be recollected that, about a month previous, by
way of preparing for election then 10 be held for
municipal officers, more than hundred of the
principal Free-State men, with their families had
been violently expelled from the city by all armed
mob, headed by the same Emory whom Mr.. Bu-
chanan has just rewarded for this and other similar
political services by lucrative appointment in the
Land-Ofiice
II was at this same election that the bogus Con-
stitutional Convention, for which the delegates
about to be elected, was authorized by vote as
returned Of 2, 2,592 for the Convention TO 45i against
it, but of this pretended vote in the affirmative not
less than 243 are returned as having been east in
the town of Leavenworth alone. Such il the fraud
uent origin Of the COnyention-a Convention i'm
posed upon the Territory by handful of intrusive
voters from mMssOur--whch is now 10 be sustained
BY the General Government in imposing a Slavery
constitution on Kansas. Is this what Mr.. Bu-
chanan means by the declaration in his Inaugural
Address that I" il is the imperative and indispensa-
" bic duty Of the Government to secure TO every
resident inhabitant the free and independent ex-
preston Of his opinion by his vote ?"
If such is the duty of the Government, then
the first step with respect to the Conyen-
ton would seem to bo, to give to the inhabitants
of Kansss that opportunity Of exhibiting their In
dependent opinion ON the expediency OF holding
it, which they certainly did not enjoy in October
New-York daily tribune., 1857-04-29

The "Young Mems Christian Association - Of
our city is composed, we have always understood,
Of such Christians as combine orthodox faith with
vital gOdlness. Of course, it became necessary
define orthodox belief so as to exclude Untari-
ans, Universalists and other heretics, who there
upon formed "Unon" Of their own as was
right So far no difference Of views was eyinced
and no complaint elected.
But the Association proceeded, some months
since, TO define and declare what constitutes true
Christian practice also; and this started the dust
A majority voted, frst, we believe, to discuss the
moral character and influence of Human Slavery
and then to express opinions unfayorabe to BOTH
This has provoked the concerted secession of the
Rev. Drs Spring, De Witt, Potts, Alexander, &c,
with over hundred Of their disciples. SO far,
each party had acted within the circle of its own
rights, and are amenabe to none for their respec-
tive courses But when the backsliders proceed to
talk Of the Association as having departed from the
"objects that originally brought us together and
their hackers accuse the majority of having de-
stroyed the harmony and usefulness of the Assoca-
ton by introducing and pressing political topics,
they depart from the truth and bear testimony in
opposition thereto. Slavery has political relations
and aspects, as has Polygamy or Rumselling; but
if has also Religious aspects, which may properly
BE- discussed by any association aiming to lead its
members in the way Of righteousness and peace.
If some member had proposed consideration of
the moral and religious aspects of Polygamy, and
portion of the members had thereupon boted,
urging that they could not permit the discussion of
controyerted political topics, they would have
given an incorrect reason for IN act which they
were ashamed to justify by adducing the real i'm
pulses to their conduct; and such is substantially
their course in the case which has actually oc-
CURED.
New-York daily tribune., 1857-04-29

the labor and this is the work. We have no doubt
that the ladies and the gentlemen OF tho profession
,.te,ed with the utmost occurrences to the speech
Of Dr. Bellows; we have no doubt that managers
made excellent resolutions "a they drank in his dis
course; but will this prevent the reproduction Of
"Camlle," or single bit Of basphemous gag or
an obscene allusion, when the pit is cold and the
gallery gods are weary Shall We cease to 60 to
Paris for our plots Shall we become scrupulous,
refined, fastidious'
We put these questions in no captious spirit,
but merely to indicate the difficulties in the way Of
that reform which is absolutely necessary to bring
the thester up to the ideal hight which it occupies
in the mind Of Dr. Bellows. We do not mean to
say that such reform is impossible. On the con-
trary, We think that il is possible if not probable
We have taken the third-row out of most of our
tbeaters. We have abolished the grogshoPs from
most Of them. These are reforms which it was
not difficult to accomplish. To reanimate the
whole spirit of dramatic literature; to make that
earnest which is now full of unbridled levity; to
check the irreverent tongue; to restrain the de-
moralizng mockery of all thst is serious and good,
will be work which We hope to see accomplished,
but do not expect to see accomplished speedily
