Senator Brown. of Mississippi, administered
m the Black "RepDblican" leaders, IN his
sDeech of to-day, a merited exconation, which
thew will not soon forget. Wilson, of Massacbu-
setfs. came in for a good share Of the eastiga-
ti,n. He exposed, with master hand, the In
ten.ion Of the Black Republican" party, as
shown by the speeches of their leaders, to be
as bad as the worst picture Of their designs rep
resented them. Senator Wilson and the other

ont Of their position as enemies to the institu-
flor of slavery in the States. If there be a con-
s~ervatiye element smoIg the masses OF the
SRemblican1 party, they must see that a con-
FINANCE in its fields will lead them into a war
! on the South, that looks to no excuses ss too
extreme for their purpose, even though 1t
be to aid the slave to cut the throat Of his
master.
A fact not generally known is, that the pres
ent Governor Of Kansas has selected as his fu-
/ ture home a slave State. He is a large iron
manufacturer, and having discovered a bed OF
ore in Loudon county, Virginia, OF excellent
quality. established iron works there, and had
I actually taken UP his residence there, prepare
tory TO removing his family when The appoint
ment which be now holds called him to Kansas.
Gen. Thomas D. Conely, Of South Carolina,
has been re-appointed United States Marshal
for that State. His old commission expired to-
day.
The House, today, reelected the chaplain Of
last session to that posi- ion. There were a
great many greedy clergymen anxious for the
place. but the House, after It concluded TO elect
4 chaplain. conferred the honor upon the poor
! old man who prayed so hard for the members
at the last session, that their Shortcomings
might be overlooked.
There is no greater farce than that Of hav-
ing a chaplain to a body Ike the House OF
Representatives, where the spirit o. prayer Is
not felt. but where a mere form OF devotion IS
zone through lust like they would go through
the ordeal Of listening to a dull speech forre-
ally there is about as much attention paid TO
the one as the othrT.
The idea is absurd which has been tele-
graphed TO the morning papers and appeared
TODAY. that the President had ordered the ar
rest of Gen. Walker, c. Morgan and others.
No such thing is contemplated. The Nieara-
qua Transit Co, can't get this Government to
become a party to one Of its private business
transactions.
Ma. Roberts, Of the Army, is out to-day, il
the National InfeIligsnocr, IN continuance Of
the war which be has been making Tor years
on the claim Of that gallant veteran, Ger. Quit
man. to the honor of having raised the hrsi
American flag in the capito! of the Montezd'
mas. A committee Of the Senate, at the last
session. examined carefully into the merits Of
this dispute and decided unanimously that 70
Gen. Quitman belonged that honor. Against
the decision Of so distinguished a tribunal, Ma
TOT Roberts letter will have but little effect
The Major himself is a gallant officer but
apprehend that it would appreciate ais present
position il he would cease his efforts TO deiTac'
the credit Of this noted incident in our country
and history which has been conferred on Gen
Quitman.
1t appears that AIr. Sumner has nerved him
self to a Sufficient extent to resume ms seat II
the Senate. He is to accomplish this IN a day
OF two. He finds that the idea Of bis inability
70 attend 10 his senatorial duties is operating
against his reelection to the Senate. Crazl
but siy Charles Sumner. He has no idea o
giving Nd a chance for a six years cushion sea-
in the Senate. in order TO let capital be mad
out of sympathy for him. He does not lik'
his party less but bis Office more.
