The Press (Col. Forneys paper) responds 70 our
statement that Constitution for Kansas silats
to Slavery, would be Pro-Slavey Constitution
fellows:
"Another bald assumption. Most OF the Constts
tions in the Free States silent as to Slavery No
body fears Slavery in New-York, Pennsylv snis, II
NewJersey, because their Constitutions do not pu
hibit Slavery"
Why, Sir, the difference lies just here: Eev
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey had exprssb
abolished Slavery before their present Coasts,
tons were adopted. Had Slavery existed theron
prior to such adoption, and no reference been nsds
to it in their Constitutions, the Courts would hw
held that Slavery retained legal existence. b
will it be in Kansas if Constitution spriaSx
from the loins of the Pro-Slsvery TerrtoriAlss
thorities shall be adopted.
The Press proceeds to assure US that the qsss.
ton of Slavery or no Slavery in Kansas will 10
submitted to her voters at the same time with u
New Constitution, and that the voice Of tho major.
ity will be decisive. But who is our surety for
tkis1 And who are to be the voters to determine
this momeutous question On these points Tie
Pr.ssfs not lucid yet it closes: -
"The truth u.s. the appariton that frights the soak
of these fearful adyersaies Is the prospect OF fs
settlement IF the Slarery question By the operation

Very well, Col Forney; you can assert thu
or any thing else: Let US bring you to test You
have some influence with your side Of the houss;
we have tried to deserve some with ours. We eu.
treat you to use your nAuence-as We will ours
to obtain a "fnal settlement Of the Slavery quos
ton" in Kansas Oh the following basis:
/. Each party to name one Inspector or judge
for each poll for the October Election and the two
to agree on third or do without-no vote to b

Board, but any Inspector can only object to COED

2. Every American citizen, or applicant tx
naturalization, who shall lave been bona .Eds
resident of Kansas since the 9TH day Of July last,
to be legal voter.
3. The two Onstitutons-Topeka aud LecOnp.
tonic be submitted together to the popular vote;
and the decision of majority to be final.
We have made this proposition already 10 TIE
Union, but its editor cannot be coaxed nor tauntel
into making any response whatever. You, surely.
will eyince more courage than this. Let as know
whether you will or will not unite with us in the

"nciste in the marriage 10 hs etrich. ~ ne
fnal passage Of the bill, there was some grunel'nS
that al! which tie clergy asktd had not been con-
g ded; that as they, or many Of them, he'd mar

10 be excused from marrying any divorced persons.
In replv 70 this, Lcrd Ps,merstOn stated that he
had made the concession only with extreme reluc'
tance, and he proceeded to administer warning 10
the clergy to which, as well as to some other parts
Ct tbs debate, We may have occasion hereafter to
,ecur. A. times, in the House, the contest had
grown very violent. Ia Committee, Dr. Gladstone
spoke twenty eight times, often with great warmth;
finally. however, some explanations and conces
sious passed between him and Lord PalmerstOn,
and the debate closed in more amicable spirit.
Upcn the bill going back to the House of Lords,
an attempt was made, as had been done in the
House when the bill! came there from the Lords,
to dispose of it at once by postponement on the
ground of the ateness of the session. This led to
debate unusually spicy for that stad body. There
is little doubt that the BIZ, will pass substantially as
II came from tie Commons.

"The worst is over" is the general remark With
regard to our financial difficulties. This We beleTe
to be the truth, proridtd the right course shall
henceforth be pursued. II We reduce cur importa-
tons one. half, and postpone the construction Of
Lew railroads, new mansions rev blocks Of stores,
&c. &c, until our debts to each other and to Eu.
rope shall have been materially redcced our ccndi-
ton will lenctforth improve. But th;s reform
must be radical and general. The Country, which
is rich in bounteous harvest must pay up and pay
down to the cities, which are relatively poor Men
who bold large amounts Of property-whether
Real Estate, or Flour, or Sugar, or whatever
else-must sell at the bes. prices they eau obtain,
and pay off their !oa2s. We must speedily seld
abroad cargo after cargo Of Bread.tuas, though it
should be necessary 70 reduce .he- price essentially
in order to eel them. When We csnLst realize
profits, We must even put W With losses rather
than pay heavy usury, and have to submit to
heavier losses after al. Our retail merchants must
buy lighter stocks and make heavier payments.
Miss Flora MFfmsey must endure. for the public
good the penance Of appearing at the opera and
NM Potiphars soiree in the same dresses which
dazzled hundred beaus and 7ery nearly caught one
al Saratoga or Newport last moth. The mass of
US, whether IN moderate circumstances or Of the
presumptiyely rich, must reduce or current ex-
penses considerably below tie mark Of the last

than We exported We must export in

more than We import. Just LET it be understood

We publish elsewhere a very interesting aid
complete abstract of the new English Divorce Bill
as it finally passed the House of Commons. This
bill vas debated with great zeal and pertinacty
through several adjouInments, those who could
not kill it directly endeayoriDg to kill it by amend
meDts. This gave an advantage to the friends Of a
more liberal measure and, in spite of the efforts Of
the Ministry to press the bill through 1,ctly a, it
came from the House of Lords, they were obliged
to consent to number of amendments, by which,
OIL the whole the bill has been decidedly improved.
To the four grounds Of divorce allowed the woman
by the bill as it came from the Lords-adultery on
the part of the husband Joined with incest, with
bsamy with such cruelty as without adultery
would have entitled the wife to divorce msnSa
ct toro under the Old law (to wit, personal vio-
lerce If kind to put her in bodily fear and
dapger), or with deserson without reasonable
cause for two years aud upward-.he Commons
have added adultery committed in the conugal real
dence and rape or the crime against nature COM
ni,ted by the husband.
A sentence of judicial aeparatiOn-a substitute
for the old divorce meHsa ct toro-may be
obtained either by the husband or wife for cruelty
g. g., personal violence and putting in bodily fear),
adultery or causeless desertion for two years and
upward. Wives thus separated win be regarded,
as to questions Of property and for purposes of
contract or bringing suits, as unmarried. By @
very important amendment, added in the House,
wives deserted by their husbands may at any time
apply for and obtain an order to protect from the
husband or his creditors property earned by them
selves or coming into their hands subsequent to
the desertiOn
The change made as to the punishment Of adul-

AL persons who wish to understand the system
upon which our Municipal affairs are at present
COZ Quoted will do well TO read the case Of Daniel
Berrien, jr, agt. The Mayor, Aldermen, &c, of
tie City of New York AID Charles DeyGn the
papers In which, upon which an injunction has been
granted, we publish to day. These are certainly
pregnant documents, and ncbOdy, after reading them
need wonder at the increase Of the city taxes; in
fact the Only occasion for wonder is that our taxes
do not increase great deal faster.
TIE plaintiff in this action charges-FirSt: That
the Common Council having taken in hard scheme
for grading and regulating the BOwory from
Chatham square to Franklin square and the streets
iottrsecting the same the Street Commissioner for
the time being failed to give the notice required by
law, and failed to obtain the consent of the owners
of two thirds Of the abutting lands as required by
law, and that the necessary ordinances were not
passed, go that all tie proceedings in the matter,
from beginning to end, are void and trepass.
Second: That the contract for doing the work
was given to one John Meehan (actng, as is eeged,
for Deylin, one of the defendants to whom the
tract was coon after assigned), notwithstanding
there were several other lower bidders, AID thst all
TIE pretenses set up for preferring Meehans larger
bid were false and unfounded.
Third: That this contract thus awarded to Nee
han has, since the death of Taylor, late Street
Commissioner az the claim set up BY Deylin to that
Office been altered by figures inserted into it so as
greatly to increase the amount payable under it.
Fourth That the work described in the con.
tract has only been partially performed and that in
very sovenly manner.
Fifth: That Devlin got up and presented to the
Common Council paper purporting to be petit
ton for change in the grade of the streets inter
sectng the part Of Peal street involved in the
stoye operation, signed by two thirds Of the
AUDITORS, whereas this paper was in fact only
sieIed by boys and irresponsible persons.
Si1tA: That Charles Turner, acting Street Com
missioner, has granted falfe and fraudulent Ger.
tifcate TO help Devlin obtain pay st exorbtant and
extIayseant prices for work which he has not per-
formed.
Serenh That 10 consequence Of all these pro-
ceedirgs, most exorbitant assessment amounting
10 $40 800 hasbeen levied on the AUDITORS Of which
the City Council mean to enforce payment
Such are few of the allegations set forth in this
very extraordinary case which will demand and
repay the attention of every city reader and which
throws no little light on the extreme anxiety ex-
hibittd by Deylin to possess himself of the Office Of
Street Commissioner.
One thing, however must be conceded-that if o
quarter part Of the allegations set forth in this pro-
ceedlDg can be sustained, Deylin as Street Com.
missioner is a very nice match for Wood as Mayor
"a very nice pair, indeed, to carry the city into
rather dangerous company whether drawing head
to head or whether hsrnessed to the city tandem.
