Col. BENroN's OPINION OF the AUTHORSHIP or
"JuNIus"-In the forthcoming Volume VII Of
Benton's "Abridgement,n there is the follow
ing note to a speech Of Mr.. Randolph in which
Mr.. Randolph spoke ola repetition by ''Junius'
OF remark Of Lord Chatham If the puzzle
is not yet resolved ofthe authorship of "Junius"
this terse and vigorous summing up ofione ofthe
theories is Enthusiastically characteristic OF the
"rhirty Years Senator" and not unworthy of
either the real or here supposed author of the
celebrated letters:
"whcn the author of this Abridgemeut Csays
Col. BentOn) was ten years old, which was in
the last decade borrowing Livy's division OF
time in the cSPression) of the last century, and
before enlightened writer's had thrown darkness
on the authorship of Junius, it was well conce
ded that there was but one man in England,
or the world, who united in himself all the quail
tiles of head, heart and temper, all the incidents
of political and personal life, which the writing
of those letters required; but one man who had
such power to drive the English language, such
knowledge of men and things, such amplitude
Of information, such lofty and daring spirit,
such inducement to publish his thoughts and
conceal his name, an OTatOrical fame already 50

Disconnected, despairing, restless, and seeing

FATE or AurmoRsmrP IN BRooEE CouSTY.-We
learn from the wcIsburs Herald, that our dis
tinguished friend, Jos. r. Naylor, las a poor
chance for the Clerkship Of the Coo 'ty Court
Of Brooke It's the fate of authors ip; there's
fatality that always boscts the pathway

The people of Brooke, from the spatc'y of the

to appreciate MAYORS thesis on nigge,s. This
should be a warning to authors IN Brooke, to
turn their attention to somo theme more conso-

Lawrence, the member, from across the water
hard by here is picture for an artist now in
Washington. He looks conscience smitten,
stricken and afflicted lie is down Mt the heel,
down in the mouth and down in the dirt, since
his trenchery on the English bill. lie has
heard the roar and thunder, the bolts of which
are in store for him at home, when he lands
there again. The papers in his district have
been taking some pains to explain to him the
position which he occupies in the hearts of his
constituents. tits presumed that William, the
of the lugubrious countenance, fully catch
es the drift of their remarks. Poor Bill he has
not, lived altogether in vain-he will be useful
as beacon-a sort Of pillar.of-salt to

Hos. BmL MoHTGoNgRY.-As we npprehend-
ed, the Hon. Bill Montgomery Inns been set adrift
again in Washington county, and in that whole
Congressional District. BY the papers, he seems
to have lost the confidence of his past friends,
from his tergivcrsntions and shortcomings,
politically aud otherwise. He may be regarded
as shclved, up there--wc don't believe no will
ever touch bottom again. We notice that Bans-
man rakes him in his Tribune, right and left,
for his dcsertion Of the AntI-Lecompton men,
reminding one Of the old Peter Pluckem ern.--
But the worst that he gets is, perhaps, from his
former fast friend and adherent VIM. Work

more available grounds.

PALMRRsToN on DIsKAEII's INDIA BILL.-The

when Lord PalmerstOn, who will be seventy.fiye

of wit and happiness of illustration rarely heard
in the House of Commons, began to quiz Disra-

been so highly praising. The facetious viscOunt

Proceedings of To-day.


THE SENATE were this morning engaged alto
gether on private bills, some of which were dis
posed of.
Ere these proceedings were commenced. Mr.
Houston gave notice of his intention to introdu &c
a bill for the admission of Kansas into the Union
as State.
In THE HOUSE, Immediately after the reading
OF the journal, they again went into Committee OF
the Whole on the state Of the Union, (Mr Phelps
in the chair,) when Mr.. Stephens, Of Ga deliv-
cred speech upon the neutrality law question,
contending that himself and others who advoca-
ted repeal mod iflcatiOn of the neutrality I,u
Were the friends of law and order, of the consti-
tuition and statutes of the United States and of
the public peace. He was not for modifying the
laws OF nations, and was not for touching the
neutrality laws where they merely went to sus-
tain the laws Of nations.
Section eight OF the act Of 1918, he commended
went beyond the requirements Of the law OF ma
tlons and had been differently interpreted by diff
ferent administrations Under the act as il stood,
he held, the President could not use the army or
navy. He could only do by construction
The said section, said he, could use part of the
army and navy. What part? There had been
an omission Of words in enrolling the bill. Only
by supplying that omission Of words could the
President use any portion Of the army or navy to
execute the neutrality law. He was for so amend
ing The law OF ISIS as to confer that power dis
tinctly upon him.
NJ. s. next took up the question whether the
President had power to interfere with America N
flibusters beyond the immediate Jurisdiction of
This Government, and argued at length to show
that the Legislative intended that the law should
apply only within the jurisdiction of the United
States.
MIR Groesbeck, interrupting Mr. s. to call his
attention to the terms of the 81 section of the law
which he commended conferred, az well as the 9Th
section, power on the President to arrest Ameri-
can filibusters beyond the jurisdiction of tn Gov

Mr.. =. continuing, held Mr.. Groesbeck's con-
struction Of those sections of the law maintain

such cases, and beyond the jurisdiction of the
