WASHINGTON MATTERS. - The New York
Times Washington correspondent writes, March
"a:
"The bill for the admission Of Minnesota will
evidently pass the Senate promptly, without mate
rial objection. 1t is understood that the amend
meni. without which Mr. CLARK of New YORK re-
fuses to vote for the Kanzas bill, is the one re-
,ferring the Constitution back to the people for
their ratification at fair election"
(Herah Correspondence -lhe Kanzas hill

Monday. Every thing looks favorable in that

without the slightest foundation.

clIning fair adjustment on the Senate. Mr.

against Lecompton, while reserving a place of

BRGTisH Co1ToN MANUFACTURER. The
London Shipping and Mercantile Gazette,
says there has been for several years a steady
increase in the average cost of raw material.
which has risen from $9l. 1926 900 in 1853 to
1881 900, 600 in 1856. The total value of
production of thread yarns, and manufacture
ed goods for the year 1858 is set down at
$283 TAG, 900, for 1866 at 3O7 APO, 600, and
for 1857 at S2Sl ,OOO,O 900; or deducrng the
cost of cotton, &c. the profits upon the man
ufacture may be taken for 1858 at Sl9I, 92O,-
600. for 1856 at $lS7 $50, 900, and for 1857
at 100, 100, 900. In other words, the increase
in the cost price of cotton (the difference be-
TWEEN Sd, 6 l and Sd per lb.) has reduced
the profits on the manufacture in Great Brit.
ian $4,26l 600 in the year 1857, as compared
with the year 1868.
How far the year 1858 may improve the
position of the manufacturer and the pros
poets OF the cotton trade remains to be seen /;
but it is quite clear that no staple manufac.
turer can long hol1 out against the reduction
of profits which the balance-sheet of the
past five years exhibits The rise in the price
OF cotton is not so much due to short crops
III America as to the increased consumption
OF cotton iu the States, and the increased de-
mand for it on the Continent Of Europe.

Why COUSINS SHOULD NOT MARRY.-In the
Annual Report of the Superintendent Of the
Kentucky Institution for the Deaf and Dumb,
we find the following conclusive arguments
against the marriage of cousins:
"From ten to twenty per cent of deaf mutes
are the children Of cousins. 1t is greatly to
be regretted that the Law forbldding the mar
rage of first cousins did not bass the recent
legislature. Their marriage is violation of
law OF nature, as is evidenced by the affic.
tons visited in almost every case upon their
offspring in deafness, blindness and idiocy
and ought to be a violation Of human laws
also. The Commonwealth has the clear right
to protect itself against these ill-started
matches, whose offspring it has to sustain.
too frequently tor lite. 1t may be hoped that
this important subject will not escape the &C.
ton OF Legislators many years longer. 1t is
confidently believed that by forbidding mar.
riages of this kind and by proper attention and
care Of infants laboring under the disease
stated, the number of deaf mutes in the com
munity ght be diminished one half in
generation.

Stephens wished to take advantage of either
side. This arrangement seemed to be per-
fectly understood by the House.
Mr.. Moore Of Alabama, made speech in
defence OF the South, There is sometime
she loves more than the Union and will de-
tend TO the last extremity, viz her equality,
constitutional rights, and independence.
Mr. Washburue of Illinois, said he repre-
scented a Congressional district " hich gave the
largest Republican majority in the last Presi.
dental election Of any district iniithe United
States. He protested in the name Of 30, 600
OF his constituents, against the crime of fore
ing slavery upon Kanzas. He made one Of
the most scathing and powerful speeches of
the session against the Lecomptoa Constitu-
ton, and the whole kanzas policy of the
present and preceding administrations.
Mr. Davis of Indiana said he did all in his
power to secure Buohanan's election. But
he dissented from his oiews on the Kanzas
question, and he believed he had made fatal
mistake The Lecompton Constitution was
conceived in fraud and should follow the To-
peka Constitution to an infamous grave.
Mr.. Dean Of Connecticut said he would not
vote for the admission of Kanzas as a slave
State If every man there desired it The Mis-.
sour Compromise was repealed to wrest the
territory from freedom. He opposed g Lee
compton" chiefly because ne would never re-
eognize property in man.
Mr. Boyce OF South Carolina pursued
line OF argument suggested by the Died Scott
case, to show on what slight pretexts the
North gets up excitements on the subject Of
slavery. He advocated Lecompton, of course,
and spoke Of disunion as a probable contin-
gency.
Mr., Conrad of Pennsylvania said the Pres
ident had trampled on law and justice, and
given eounteuance to the most Infamous
frauds

HE OLDEST "SURPRIsE'' OF THE TIMBs.-
On Tuesday afternoon last, as Mr. P, of
Hanover, N, H., was engaged in his wood
yard, man Inquired of him where he could
get his bottle filed with rum. Mr.. p
first directed him to the town agent, but that
official refused to supply the "cIitter" to one
who evidently had only the brick the hat
complaint, The greatly disappointed indi-
vidual repaired once more to Mr.. P, and
again begged of him to tell where else he
could apply. Taking pity on the ."anxious
inquirer" that gentleman benevolqntly point
ed to house close by, and minated that he
might procure it Of the doctor over there. The
house was as quiet, ber-looking, discreet
appearing house as could be imagined, and
little wonder, for in it resides the Rev. Dr.,
R, the eloquent and highly respected
minister Of Hanover. The gentleman of the
bottle knocked at the door, was admitted
and on asking to see the "Doctor," was
shown into parlor. The Rec gentleman
happened to be from home, but his amiabe
lady Immediately waited on her visitor, and
politely inquired his business. "Ma'am.
observed the visitor, drawing out n great bot
tie from his pocket, "Ma'am, want this bot
tie filled with the best rum The good lady
was astounded, as well she m CHIT be, at such
an audac0us request, and informed her visi.
tor that he was in 1.-the minister's house. "
"Well, ma am, SAID the obtuse individual.
Il don't care (never mind that whose
house It's, so as you ill my jug !" Atlength
the mistaken individual became convinced of
the error Of his way, and stepped out, none
the better we fear for his visit to the minis
ter,

SENATOR DOUGLAS AND SLAvERY.-Senator

LecOmpton constitution, took the occasion to lay

lnlstenees from them, to the proposition that
each State must decide for itself upon the status
or condition Of Its negro population, without IN
reference from Congress. The rights of each
State to regu ate its own institutions ne dwelt
upon with mach esrnestness, as the cardinal prin.
ciple Of our government. The proposition that
property in slaves was above all law, was mon
strous proposition, against which he protested, in
his own name and the name Of his constituents.

Postmaster Cook entered upon his duties as

TaE ARIZONA ScHEME.--A Washington cor
respondent of the New York Post unfolds
scheme which he thinks explains President Blu
ohanan's interest in the southern route for the
Pacific Railroad, and throws light other i'm.
prtant movements. He says design has long
been entertained by the pro slavery politicians of
California to get possession Of Sonora. For this
purpose number of them have settled there,
who assisted in getting an agreement made with
Comonfort which ensured to them large share
of surveyed lands along the intended railroad,
with the understanding that alternate sections
should revert to parties in the interest Of Com
onfOrt But the sudden downfall of this ruler
disturbed without destroying the arrangement
for, as a means of raising revenue in the present
needy condition of Mexico, it is probable that
portion of The national territory will be sold. 1t
is said that partial oVertures have already been
made, and that the sending out of SPECIAL COM
miss to Ike advantage of negotiations, has
already been determined upon by our govern
ment. The design is tnus to purchase Sonora,
Lower California, and the Northern part of Chi.
huanua.
Mr. Gwn, one Of the California Senators, is
said 10 be very active in the scheme Another
interested party is said to be Senator Houston,
whose intention of removing to Arizona re
ported some time since. Sonora will be made
part OF Arizona, constituting territory under
the latter name. Here is said to be the cause of
Senator Houston's vote on the Lecompton bill,
which contrasts violently with his course on
the Kahzas Nebraska bill. 1t is thought that

Rum DIP IT. The. Hon. Gerrit Smith, in

ing illusions to the late Preston S. Brooks:
The nation would not have been deprived
OF the services Of Charles Sumner, had Con.
gress, before Brooks fell upon him, been will
ing TO be moved by temperance speech, or
by any course to put stop TO the sale OF in.
toxicahng drinks IN the city OF Washington.
Poor Brooks became acquainted with him
in Congress, and found him to be flank
pleasant man. lie allowed me to speak freely
to him Of his habit Of drinking liquor. lie
promptly confessed his sorrow for il, and add
cd that he would be glad to subscribe a Con.
gressional Temperance Pledge. But for liquor
he would never have committed his enormous
crime.
