Proceedings of To-day.

IN TIE SENATE, to-day, communication was
received from the Secretary OF w ar, recommend
ing an appropriation for finishing certain public
works in the District OF Columbia
MIR. Mason moved that the Senate proc I'D with
the consideration of the resolutions reported Inv
the Committee on Foreign Relations or the sub
Ject OF aggressions on American vessels; agreed
to.
MT Mason proceeded, at considerable length
TO show that in times of peace no right Is recon-
niZed by any law OF nations for vessels of one
nation to visit those of another. These actions
are direct violation of ali laws and deroyatory
to the dignity Of the nation which submits to
them. He commended, however, that the mea-
sures adopted by the President Were probably
sufficient for putting an end to such vistations
and after they have been tested, If not ADEQUATE
then 1t is the duty of Congress to legslate to rf
fectuaily prevent any such occurrence In future
Mr.. Mallory moved to amend by clause de-
claring that the recent acts of British naval ves-
sells in firing into American vessels, are beliger-
ent, and should be resisted by all the force in the
country.
Mr.. Mallory thought the time for negotiation
had passed, and II these acts committed
under instructions from the Government of Great
Britain, and he believed they had been so COM
mitted, then it is a virtual violation of the neu-
trailty laws as Interpreted by their own authori-
ties.
Mr. Hale moved to amend by a clause author
lzing the President to take Immediate steps for
the suppression of these outrages by force
Mr.. ToombS also regarded the outrageS, II COM
mitted with the knowledge OF the British Gov
eminent, a cause Of war; and that steps should be
taken accordingly.
Mr.. Seward also regarded these aggressions as
cause of war, and was still speaking when our
report closed He did not think the British q ov.
erument had ordered these outrages.
In THE House., Mr.. English from the Com.
mittee on the Post Office and Post Roads, report
cd bill establishing certain post routes. IN
covers sixty-six foolscap pages) The bill was
passed.
Mr.. Harris, of Illinois, made report from the
Committee of Elections, To the effect that NJ

Minnesota. Ough TO be allowed TO retain his seat
The further consideration Of the subject will

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

"CorroN IS KING The Philadelphia
Press mourning over the existing depressed
condition Of commerce and manufactures at
the North, "Iays the blame on the existing
price of cotton-for too high, it insists to admit
the idea of working it profitably in the United
States for expectation; while, according to the
same authority. the failure of both Southern
and Western merchants to pay their dues to
the North, has caused much of what it con-
ceives to be the existing utter prostration of
Northern commerce. The editor insists that
the North must combine to put down the price
OF cotton and the value of slave property.
Pshaw. The man is evidently ignorant of
the first principles Of the commerce of the age
Thus, the statistics prove that the value of
cotton is regulated by the foreign-not the
dOmestic-demand; and next, that the value of
negroes in the United States is regulated by
the price of cotton. So Northern combinations
to affect the value Of either, or both, can operate
emily more seriously to embarrass the North.
Ii, as those who boast of Northern superiority
In everything aver, the manufacturers of the
North are not surpassed in the world, they
could manufacture cotton for foreign markets
to compete with the manufacturers of Europe.
The price OF the raw material-if that aver.
ment were true-would prove no obstacle
whatever to their competing with European
manufacturers paying the same prices for The
rGR' material.
The manufacturers Of the North are pre-
pairing to ask for an increase of the tariff by
way of remedying the results of their own fool
ish speculations up to October last; and the
growing and threats of the Press relative to
the value of raw cotton and slaves is but a pre-
monitory symptom of that fact 1t cannot thus
brighten the South into voting to change the
now settled policy of this Government upon the
subject of protection, which has had it's day.

County Committee, it will also be seen, have
withdrawn the name of F. F. Low, Republi-
can candidate for State Senator, and the
names of L. t. Crane, G. b, Pepper, VIM. M
Boyd, Jerry Parsons, and H. J. Booth, Re.
publican candidates for Assembly. The Re
publicans are satisfied that they cannot elect
their ticket, and therefore withdraw it. We
do not know whether there is a Park-Le

is, it will doubtless go with the Administra
tion bogus ticket.
