SPIRIT OF THE. MORNING PRESS.
The Union to-day expatiates upon the Con-
necticut election, condemning severely the in
reference Of the pulpit in it against the Demo-
Gratis.
The Iteliigencer, referring tc the now
almost certain adjustment of the Danish
Sound Dues" says:
The result above announced is perhaps as rea-
Sonable settlement of the Sound Dues question
the circumstance of the case would allow
though ii falls short Of the ground first taken by
our Government, requiring the total abolition of
all charges by Denmark.
1--WE have from time to time kept our readers
advised OF the progress of the controversy and Of
the negotiations for its settlement The first
est movement to resist the payment Of these dues
was made by the United States and, when other
nations followed il up, the first proposition from
Denmark for a composition or Communication was
made TO the United States and its assent asked as
means Of influencing the decision OF other row,
eIs. The answer was that our Government could
consent to no arrangement which contained the
admission Of the right OF Denmark 10 interrupt
our commerce with the Baltic by taxing ships or
cargoeS for the right Of passing through the
Straits II was nevertheless said that the
United States would be willing to make
certain COMPENSATION to Denmark for her OUTLAWS
and expenditures in keeping up lighthouses,
buoys. and for other facilities to navigation.
The Danish Government invited congress at
Copenhagen Of the parties interested. and the ne
gotiationS which were protracted throug bout the
Russian war, terminated at last in treaty. to
which all the maritime Powers of Europe have
sssented for the determination Of the controversy
as among themselves by the capitalization of the
dues. For ,he sum of 80 $40 500 rix dollars the
Ming Of Denmark binds himself to levy no dues
whatever upon vessels of the contracting parties
entering or departing from the Baltic sea- and to
Keep up the lights, buoys. beacons. &c :, at his

establish and occupy stations for that purpose
This sum is agreed to be paid by the contracting
parties in the proportions of their several interests
IN the comlnerce of the Baltic, in half yearly
sums, including principal and interest, running
through twenty years.
=" TO this general treaty the Government of the
United states was not party, but one of its pro-
visions makes IL binding only on the contracting
parties, and permits the King of Denmark to set
tie with other parties by separate arrangement
and hence the negotiation of the separate treaty
with the United States which is just officially an
nounced to the public"

At the annual meeting of the Academy, held this
evening, Prof Ridde President in the Chair, DR.. j.
s. Copes introduced the following preamble and reso-
lutions, which were read and unanimously adopted !:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased sovereign God, in the ex
ercse of his infinite wisdom, to remove from the
scenes of his usefulness on earth, our distinguished
countryman, ELISHA KENT KANE NJ. D., U. s. N,
and an honorary member of this Academy and
WHEREAS, 1t is befting that all who love to behold
talent, industry, philanthropy, benevoence, cour-
age, and the whole cluster Of manly graces and vr
tues welded to science, and ardently engaged in its
promotion, should mourn when the bright imper-
sonation falls a sacrifice and martyr to his OWL
glorious and enlightened zeal therefore,
Resolued, That mysterious as is this dispensation
to finite minds, we bow in submission to the In.
finite. a
Resolped, That the Fellows Of this Academy greatly
admired their distinguished countryman, and loved
his fame while in life and that they will cherish the
memory of his virtues, and record his deeds Of hero
ism and humanity deeply in their hearts, now that he
is dead most sincerely believing, they do, that
his radiant example is suited and destined to elevate
| and purify the aspirations and pursuits of men.
Resolved, That we sincerely sympathize and con
dole with the bereaved family and friends Of the de
ceased and that Corresponding Secretary be re
quested to communicate to them our sense of com
| mon loss, as expressed in these resolutions
| Resoiced, That our action on this behalf be pub
| lished in the newspapers of New Orleans and Phia

bes the Governor Of the Slate Is to employ his time In

Our capitolian cotemporary should not speak ir
reverently of the concentrated wisdom and patriot
ism Of the State, now in session at Baton Rouge.
1t is true, this thing of decaptatng five or six con-
stables is not matter of vast moment in ITSELF but
when the Legislature condescends to such work, it
assumes remarkable proportions. Therefore, do your
beavers and wait for the wagon" will not be
long acoming
The next move, we presume, will be to take from
private citizens the right Of employing their clerks,
bookkeepers, assistants etc. and vest that preroga-
tive in the hands of the Governor by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate" If the people OF
New Orleans are not competent to choose their own
constables, they are certainly incompetent to the
proper management of their private affairs.
This is great country, and Louisiana is a stupen
dous State

A TEACHER CowHIDED.-We are informed, says the
Greensburgh (Pa.) Argus, that teacher in one of
our common schools in the southern part of this
try undertook to correct of his pupils for
delinquency. The mother of the child was highly in
dignant that her child should be severely fogged
for what she deemed so rtrihing an offence, pro-
vided herself with cowhide and meeting the teacher
in village, commenced operations over his head and
shoulders with the hide. After receiving several
strokes he snatched the weapon out of her hand and
dealt her blow Or two with cane. Size quickly
closed in and dealt him few well directed blows on
the face using her nails pretty freely at times occa
sionally giving him few we'll directed kicks. The
parties were finally separated, the man coming Of
second best.
