| WASHINGTON ITEMs.-The Kansas Question:
1t has already been announced that Governor
Walker had an interview with the President in
relation TO Kansas affairs on Wednesday. The
Washington correspondent OF the New York
Times says:
Governor Walker had long and very friend
lily interview with the President to-day. They
discussed Kansas affairs at length especially re-
lative to the propriety of sustaining the action
of the Constitutional Conventionin not referring
the entire instrument to the people. The dis
tinguished gentlemen, though differing radical
| ly, parted friends, appointing another interview
for the discussion of the same subject
The Governors opinion of the Constitution is
not founded on the slavery clause, which is alone
partially submitted, but on the refusal of the
Convention to permit the people to vote against
as well MS for the Constitution. Heregards This
as a violation of the Federal Constitution, of the
Nebraska Kansas BILL of popular sovereignty,
and of the right of self-government
The President insists that, as the Constitutions
al Convention was authorized by Congress, he
| is bound to sustain its action, whatever it may
be, while Walker holds that the application of
his doctrine to sustain the refusal to submit the
entire Constitution to the popular vote, amounts
to simple assertion of the right of Congress to
force any Constitution on the Territory, instead
of leaving the people to decide for themselves;
for it is notorious that the people of Kansas
would reject this instrument if they had the OPP
portunty. He states that the Constitution was
signed by only forty three out Of sixty members
of the Convention refusing being Con-
servatives. The great majority even of the Pro-
Slavery men denounced the action OF the Con-
vention as an outrageous and uncomfortable usur-
patton. Those in the Territory who support the
Convention are believed to comprise ridicu-
lousy small cumberland vast numbers who new
er acted with the Free-State men will refuse to
participate in the December election.
| Governor Walker declares that he cannot &C.
uuiesce in the action of the Convention without
violating every pledge he ever gave, and sacri-
ticng his honest convictions to make himself in
famous.
If resistance is make to the establishment of
the State Government, the President will neces-
sarily call upon the Governor of the Territory
to exercise force to put it down. This, with his
sentiments, Walker cannot do, and will not-nor
will he resign.
If the President considers it his duty to force
the Constitution, directly contrary to the spirit
of the Kansas Nebraska Act, in support OF which
Walker risked his political future at the solicita-
ton of the Executive, depend upon it the Presi-
dent will be compelled to assume the reponsi-
bility of removing the Governor.
The eject of all this, if the President persists,
will be that the Executive will find himself in a
minority in both houses Of Congress, for Walker
will be sustained by decided majority in each.

The vanity of riches is seldom illustrated so
strikiDgly as in the case OF the greae Lhgo e
millionaire, Morrison, who died worth S2o,o oo,-
900. 1t seems to be one of the conditions OF tne
accumulation of enormous wealth III Il single
generation that the possessor shall nrst oisqual-
ify himself from enjoying it, aud in some cases,
even approaching the fact that he holds 1t. Mr..
Morrison accumulated this almost fabulous a.
mount himself, and in the regular course OF his
business, without any extraordinary turn OF Tor
tune; vet The following extract from .etter IN
the Boston Post shows how little benefit he per-
mitted himself to receive from all his wealth.
What a satire it is upon the exclusive devotion
of all the faculties to the mere accumulation OF
property
"Mr. Morrison retired from active business
several years since, without Withdrawing his
capital from the mercantile house, and though
managing his vast funds himself up to the time
of his death with all the sagacty ofearlier days,
he has for the past three years been possessed
with the idea that lie should come to want
More than two years ago he commenced dong
day labor upon a farm held by one of his ten
ants, for which he received twelve shillings
week, and this he continued up to the time OF
his illness For the last eighteen months he has
been regular applicant for relief to the parish,
assembling twice week with the town paupers
at the door of the Union and receiving with
each one of them his two shings and quarter
loaf His friends have INDUCED him in these
fancies on the ground that it was the best choice
of two evils The truth was money was his god;
and the idea became at last too great for him
and broke him down. And yet he is said to
have made most judicious will and his invest
ments up to the last are characterized by great
good sense. The probate duty on his will ex'
ceeds 100000"

AUNT0N SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER.

MILD AND SEVERE WINTERS. ga wet summer
is always followed by frosty winter, but it hap
pens occasionally that the cud extends no far
Their. Two remarkable instances of this occurr-
ed in 1S07-'8, and lSl3-'l4. With these excep-
lions every fiosty winter has been followed by
a cold summer. The true cause of cold, or ratl-
err the direct cause, is to be found in the winter
excess of west wind, every winter with an ex
cess of west wind being followed by cold sum-
mer, and if there is no cold before or during
first excess, then q second excess of west wind
in winter occasions a still colder summer than
the first. 1t also appears, by repeated expert
ence, that cold does not extend to more than
two years at time. Again, if the winter ex-
cess of the east wind be great. in the first in
stance, the winter will be mild and followed by
mild summers, while the summer excess of east
wind is itself, in the first instance, always mild
but uniformly followed by cold winters and cold
summers, which continue more or less for one
or two years, according to circumstances
These are the notions OF an old meteOrologist.-
The prevailing opinion at the present day is, that
cold is the sign of cold and heat the sign of heat
and that after cold winter another may be ex-
pected We have had two severe winters in
succession, and according to the above theory
we are lihC w nave hilOliSI, uo lllO piC'u iihS
winds have been easterly and the summer wet.
THE ATLANTIC TELEeRApH.-As has already
been mentioned in the foreign news, the expec-
tation is now entertained of renewing the at
tempt to lay the Atlantic Telegraph Cable, at the
end of next June, or beginning of July. That
portion of the cable lost, it is stated, is not USE
less, 'for the changes in the electrical condition
of the wire are constantly watched night and
day, and will be used for the purpose of throw
ing additional light on the subject of terrestrial
electro. magnetic currents" No fault whatever
has been found with the wire which broke last
year, with such unfortunate results. Many
important precautions and improvements sug-
gested by that event will be introduced in the
new plan of operations, but principally in the
paying-out machines, with the special design of
against the strain caused by the sud-
den pitch of the vessel, and with the break in
the wheels so adjusted as to be self acting, effect
ally preventing any undue pressure. The plan
recently determined upon is to unite the two
halves of the telegraphic wire in the middle of
The ocean aud from thence steering for che OPP
posite shores.
