A Bright Proposition Rejected.

Mr.. Bright, who occupies seat in the
Senate, without legal election, as Sena-
tor from Indiana, proposed, the other day,
to give the Senate Committees permanent
clerks, with salaries of 81 500 and ST.
800. This act of 'retrenohment,' involv.
ing an expenditure Of $4,000 year, at
time when extraordinary measures are
resorted to, in order to prevent national
bankruptcy, was very properly denounc-
ed by Mr., Fessenden, as uncalled for aud
by Mr.. Benjamin as a sly method of cor
ruptly peGsioningpersonal avorites. The
Senate copcurred ia these' views, and
promptly. rejected the proposition, as
we trust it will do with the sham Senator,
when his case comes .up.-CtncinHatt

PLAIN TALK.--The Richmond South
thus expresses its opinion of the sincerity
and honesty Of those Northern men who
pride themselves upon being the special
friends Of the South;
So Mr.. Douglas has shown his cloven
foot to the South at last. never be-
leved he was whole-footed All that
he has ever done has been to cajole the
South to choose between evils, to take the
best she can get. to sugar over nauseous
pills and bribe the Southern members to
coax the South to swallow them Inever
had confidence in him. I'have no con
hdonce in any man North of Masons and
Dixon's. They cannot be our friends
and be honest. The interests Of the two
sections are antagonistic. The Northern
man who goes for our interest necessarily
goes against the interest of the North, his
country, and can have no confidence
in traitor, no matter how high is his
price.

Slavery not in the Constitution.

The terms Slave and Slavery are not to
be found in the Federal Constitution
When the clause which prohibits the mi
grafton or importation of certain persons
from Africa after twenty years was under
discussion in the Convention, "Mr. Mad,
i8on thought it wrong to admit in the
Constitution the idea that there could be
property in men. See Madison papers,
vol. 3, page 429." e"
The offensive phrase was avoided by
general consent, lest posterity should sup
pose that the trainers Of the Constitution
intended to sanction Slavery, whereas
they only mean to "let it alone"
Upon this interesting point we have the
authority of James Madison on one side,
and James Buchanan, his old Federal op-
ponent. on the other. Let the people de-
eide between them Washington Re.

1t will be seen by our latest adyices
from Kansas, thatan engagement has ac-
tually taken place betwees the Territorial

the Uulted States troops, The fight was
at Sugar Mound, where Lane had en-
trenched himself, and resulted in the re-
pulse Of the Government Dragons, with
The loos Of three men. Reinforcements
had been asked from Acting Governor
Denyor and it is also reported that Gov.
Robinson. as well as Gen. Lane, were
urging their friends at Lawrence to arm
and repair TO the scene Of action. The
most intense excitement prevailed and a
more serious engagement was anticipated.
Fuller details of this unfortunate affair
will be awaited with anxiety.

In recent letter to democratic gath
ering in New York, Senator Jones, Of
Iowa, declared himself prepared to sup.
port, to the fullest extent" the measures
indicated in the Presidents Message. In
his enthusiasm, he styles them august
measures" Now, before he wrote this
letter, there was already an ear.mark
upon him, by which the whole world
could see to which side he belonged. He
was the balance Of power upon the Ter
ritorial Committee, placed there by what
is called Democratic caucus, that is,
Southern caucus. The Southern cahal
knew their men, and they never give po-
sitions of power to any body but their
friends. After the list of the Senatorial
Committees were published. it was wholly
unnecessary for Senator Jones to write
letters about the Presidents measures,
and especially about the Kansas meas
ure.
Equally unnecessary was it for Mr.
Hughes, of Indiana, occupying the same
baIance-of.power position upon the House
Territorial Committee, to define his views
ALREADY defined by that fact. Indeed,
Mr. Hughes's recent speech may be re-
garded as in some sense disraspectful to
Mr. Speaker Orr implying, as il did, that
a man need mark himself, after the Speak
er had already marked him as if any pri-
vate members mark could be better
known or more easily recognized than the
Speakers ark--WAsulNGToN REpUB.
