WOOD r. BEACH,
of the Board of Supervisors Of Grant County, IT'S
New-York daily tribune., 1857-04-20

The new Mayor of st. Louis, as will be seen by
his inaugural address given elsewhere, fully avows
and ably maintains the great principles of Free
Labor upon which he was elected. The Mayor has
already made one convert in the person OF the
President of the Board of Aldermen, who in reply
to the Mayors Address, fully indorsed his advocacy
of Free Labor. 1t is said, indeed, that this gentle
man, though reckoned on the Pro-Slavery side, has
been long in part convinced of the truth of the SEN
timents to which he now for the first time gives
public utterance but to encourage timld bashful-
ness to speak out, may we'll be set down rs equiya-
lent to conversion. The thing will not stop here
The first bold push having been made in ST. Louis
emancipation will speedily be found to have more
friends and advocates in all parts of Missouri than
anybody had previously supposed.

The albany Erening Journal says:
"We have not, in our long acquaintance with Eggs

itself uriiringy to its duties as this one IL c"N
tanned more working members, and gave more hou''
to business than any other that has assembled here ior
thirty year, There has been far less useless deoa'c
than heretofore. When members spoke, it was gener-

bate were conducted with ability and dgnity, men,
bers uniformly preserving sefrespect and good temper
Order has reigned in both Houses.
"The Republican party, on which the responsiDHpy
Of legislation rests has reason to regret thst re
sponsbity. The presiding officers and clerks OF each
House have performed, in a most acceptable manner
their whole duty
"Much of the business of the last Legislature, by
of its delnquences and indolence was thrown
upon this. The Governor, in conscientious discharge
Of his duty was constrained to veto an over!oaded
Supply bill. This occasiOned temporary, but not un
friendly, conflict between these branches Of the Gov
eminent, which, however. was subsequently adjusted
consistently with the independence and integrity oi
both and they separated with mutual confidence ana
regard.
Provision has been made, in an honest discreet
way for the completion Of the Public Works. More

vigilant and indefatgable efforts to defeat projects
of prodigality and protect the State Treasury.
Their efforts will be gratefully remembered.

The Government of the United States has-sery

agents in foreign ports shall not there engage IN

long as they retain that official character. Inc
wisdom Of this restriction is eynced IN ease lti-

We have already stated adding that We understood
this Plea had been nterposed in the u. S. District
Court also. This was pmmply denied by the 'se-

1t must astonish plain men to hear that this very
plea to the jurisdiction ieas made, in preliminary
argument on the case on Saturday, and the whole
case in fact rested upon the assumption that no
mercantile firm in which one of the partners IS
Consul for some Foreign power can be sued even
in our Federal Courts, unless the acton be orig-
mated in the Supreme Court at Washington CIfy'
Whether this be indeed the Law remains to be seen;

The boundary dispute between New-York and
Connecticut which; when the one wssa Dutch and
tie other an English Colony, excited such sharp
controversy and hard feelings after having been
seemingly settled for more than century, has
again been revived. The Commissioners lately ap-
pointed on both sides to remark the line OF l73l,
which, in many places, had become nearly or quite
obliterated, have been unable to agree, and have
separated without performing the duty imposed
upon them. We shall take this occasion to give
a short history of the boundary.
The English coonists, as is well known, affected
70 treat the entire Dutch occupation of New
Netherlands as an infringement upon the rights of
the British Crown, and on this pretense they were
disposed to pay little no attention to the Dutch
claims of preoccupancy. In fact the entire Con-
nectcnt settlement was made in defiance of those
claims and against the protestations of the Dutch,
whose port or trading post of Good Hope on the
Connecticut, or as they called it in distinction from
the Hudson. the Fresh River established near the
present site of Hartford, was the first occupation
by white men of the banks of that stream. In de-
iance Of the territorial claim thence arising colo
nists from Massachusetts, planted the Connecticut
Colony On the very same spot, while Fort Say
broke was built at the rivers mouth to command
the entrance into IT, Tie establishment after of
another and more distinct colony at Rodenburg Red
Hills). which the English called New-Iiayen, ap-
preaching as it did the vicinity of New Amsterdam,
was still more fragrant invasion Of the Dutch ter
rtory. Nor did the fllibustering spirit Of the
New. .Englanders stop here. Colonies, some recog-
nizng the authority of Connecticut and others Of
New-Havcn. planted themselves on Long Island, of
which the whole eastern part thus fell by degrees
under English control. Other colonies, advancing
westerly along the northern shore Of the Sound
took possession If Stratford Fairfield, Stamford
and Greenwich, though this town, originally
planted by Patrick, who had been in the Dutch
military service in Holland, aud who had Dutch
wife. was persuaded after a while. and for limited
period. to acknowledge the jurisdiction of New.
Netherlands. Patrick, who according to VIM
throps account, - had fed from the yoke Of Christ
4" in the Massachusetts, the strictness of whose
discipline he would neither bear in the Church
nor yet in the country" was doubtless more in
clined, from this state Of mind to submit to Dutch
than 10 Connecticut or New-Hayen jurisdiction
A similar cause saved West Chester to the Dutch,
which town was originally settled BY Anabaptist
refugees from Massachusetts,
Not content with these encroachments FROM the
New-York daily tribune., 1857-04-20

Our Legislature closed on Saturday session of
One Hundred and Three days, during which some
Eight Hundred Acts were passed-the largest num-
Der, We believe ever passed at Legislative Ses
sion. Most of them were of course of but local
interest, but among them were acts to complete our
Erie Canal Enlargement with its cOlaterals and
provide for the same by Tax-tO restrict and
license the sale of intoxicating Liquors-tO prevent
frauds in the sale of Passage Tickets-to revise our
City Charter-to reform our Boards Of Aldermen,
Councilmen and Superyisors-to establish Metro
politan Police District-to abolish fees to County
Judges, and others Of general interest. One act
was passed that we decidedly condemn-that which
proposes TO improve the breed of Horses by means
certain to deerioratc the breed of Men-that is by
public race-course, which there is to be no
betting or gambling of any kind Two bills grant
ing S25, 600 each from the State Treasury toward
the endowment of Colleges at Rochester and Can
ton We consider decidedly Objectionable in pruci-
pie, though We know no institutions more desery-
lug of such bounty than those beueiited by these
grants.
The Legislature did nobly in resolving to meet

so as not to increase our State Debt: it deserves
especially the thanks Of our citizens for trying To
alleviate the load Of acknowledgement and prodigality
under which they groan; and il has passed

with all its impercctions, is the best ever yet
passed. The requirement Of twenty freeholdcrs as

would of itself close nine tenths of the groggeries
in this city and Brooklyn. True, the law does not
say that they must own freeholds in the election
districts wherein they and the applicant reside
and We understand that the manufacture of bogus
frcehods in ',IohnBrOwn's Tract" worth perhaps
nifty cents each, has already begun, with express
reference to this business of signing hquor-dealers
petitions; but no decent Board of Excise will treat
these sham freeholds worth any more than the
paper which falsely asserts their validity We beg
the appointing power in each County to take care

new law shall have fair play. If il does il will

A long correspondence has been published be-
tween Sias f. Burrows and Commodore Arm
strong. commanding the American naval force in
the Chinese Seas and recently engaged in the de-
struction of the Bogue Forts in Canton River.
The object Of Mr. Burrows was to induce the Com
modore TO do something to reopen the communica-
tion with Whampos, at least tOascertain whether
American vessels could safely proceed thither. Il
have" be says in his first letter, dated at Hong
Kong, several American vessels now lying here,
waiting to know whether we are at war or peace
with the Chinese, and whether We can with secu.
"rity proceed to Whampoa and obtain cargoes for
"our unemployed shipping" Not getting any
satisfaction from the Commodore upon this point,
Mr.. Burrows proceeds to general discussion of
the CommOdOre's late brush with the Chi
ncse. He complains, in very emphatic terms,
first, that Commodore Armstrong, of his
own mere authority, undertook a war with
with the Chinese without any just cause, and Sec
ondly, that when the mandarins collected IA strong
feet to drive the foreigners from Whampoa he sailed
off, leaving the American interests there 10 'ne
mercy of the Chinese, highly enraged BY the recent
American attack on the Bogue Forts ana u tne
protection of British frigate, which alone eaoied
them to escape with their lives though MOI without
the loss of their property. The concluding sell
