WASHINGTON MATTERs.- correspond
ent OF the New York Times says:
"fhe intelligence that the Constitution of
Kanzas has been ratified 10Th the pro slavery
clause is bomb-shell which the Admins
tration did not anticipate. Among those
men who had proposed to sustain the Presi-
dents policy, it excited an understandable
panic; and by the time the discussion is re-
sumed in the Senate, we shall find Messrs.
Bigler, Jones, Fitch & Co., shivering with
most distressing fit of political ague. AL
ready, some of them begin to hint that they
are not yet committed, and if the news is con-
trmed by later and fuller advices, thev will
vindicate my declaration, that politicians are
not yet prepared to rush directly into the jaws
of certain destruction. The two new Sena-
tors from Minnesota, just elected, are of the
Douglas school Of politicians, and will follow
his lead in opposition to the Lecompton
fraud.
On the other hand, the Southern men no
have heretofore been little backward in the
fight, fearing that the Kanzas Constitution
would come here with the slavery clause out,
Will now become active and earnest in the
support of the Administration policy-and
the real struggle will hereafter be carried on
with purpose. Southern men are much
elated with the Kanzas news--but they give
the administration no thanks, being satisfied
that the President sent agents to Kanzas tC
induce the people, as a matter of policy, to vote
down the slavery article.

OF Tazewell, Tenn, fellow was arraigned

diately indicted for trading with negro.
Thereupon the accused introduced two wit
nesses to prove that he had stolen the hide,

not be tried a second time for the same Of

WHAT IT SAYs.--The Philadelphia Press,
not having wholesome fear of administra-
ton bulls of accommodation before its ewes,
"speaks right out in meeting" its statements
regarding the Kanzas swindle. Itremarks as
follows respecting the acceptance of the LIE.
compton constitution:
"Lord President Calhoun, as will be seen
by our telegrqphic news from Kanzas, giving
the result of the election in that Territory on
the 2lst ult, has had things all his own way.
The constitution, fabricated by Calhoun
and his confederates, under the lash of the
supreme master of the ballot-box, and this
mighty manufacturer of votes, has been a.
dopted probably with the slavery clause. This
is courage; and we rather admire the pluck
OF the men, who, considering that they are in
meagre and miserable minority in Kanzas,
have yet the will to force their way through
all impediments. and to compel Congress to
take the dose as they have prepared it. These
men know right well, that, II even the slave
ny clause had been rejected, they had matters
80 arranged that they could introduce and
hold slaves in Kanzes in daring defiance of
the popular will.
But they determined to make sure of the
matter, and so forced through the slavery
clause boldly.

DEATH FROM ACTUAL STARVATION. Let
those who are strangers to the st. Giles pre-
cincts of a city, aud disbeievers in the asser.
ton oftentimes made that men and women
in their midst die from actual starvation, read
the following local item from the Philadelphia
Ledger
"Yesterday, Coroner Fenner was summon
ed to hold an inquest on the body of wo-
man named Mary Boyce, who died from want,
in one of the cellars of Baker street, under a
house which is dignifed by the name Of no.
tel. The testimony heard before the coroner
jury disclosed the fact that the cellar, into
which ray of sunshine never enters and
where the rats dispute possession with the &C.
cupants, is rented to female for the sum of
ten cents a week, who subjects it for lodg-
ings. The deceased was a sub tenant, who'll
ly destitute Of the necessaries of life, and be-
ing taken sick, had no one to attend to her
bat a female of intemperate habits, who was
found beastly intoxicated by the coroner and
his jury. 1t was self evident that the unfor-
tunate woman had died from want, and it
was shown that for two days she had been
without food A verdict of death from want
was rendered"

KANzAs.-Judge Williams is severely censured
for having sent to the government one-sided
view Of the Fort Scott troubles He accepted for
truth the reports of the men who have been the
aggressors in nearly all the outrages in KanEas,
and convicts on their testimony the men upon
whose acts he is soon to sit as judge This is a
little worse than the ordinary run ofjudcial folly
in Kanzas, and yet Judge Williams is Penn
sylvanian.
The FIRST number of Redpath's :" Crusader of
Freedom" published at Doniphan. like all the
Free State papers, goes for sticking to the Tope-
ka Constitution, and in this it no doubt repre-.
sents the opinion of the people. If Congress
passes an enabling act, the Crusader says. " the
new Constitutional Convention will convene, and
unanmously-without a single ldebate-re adopt
the Topeka Constitution. Congress had better
swallow it at once. Sooner or later, it must do
SO. 1t needs to be taught that the people is its
master. and this is the lesson we Topekaites ;
will teach it,"

INTERESTING FROM WAsHINGToN-C o9a2eo-
dore PGuldings Course Warmly ApproUed by
the President = Douglas Intends to Support
Walker Washington, Dec. 31.-(New York
Times correspondence THE tone of the Ad-
rninistration relative to Commodore Paulding
is materially modified. Captain Engle has
received permission to delay his return to As
pinwall till the Goth of January. Commodore
Paulding will probably carry Minister Lamar
to Central America before his return, and
then come home In his own ship, whose cruise
will then be ended, thus relieving the Com
modore without conveying a notifying re-
buke. Notwithstanding the positive official
denunciations of the illegally of Paulding's
act, the President privately expresses his ad-
miration and approval of it. The Commodore
will neither be sacrificed nor theoretically
sustained
Senator Douglas has been heard from. He
intends to take bold ground i'll favor of
Walker.
(Iribune correspondence = The Cabinet
met this morning. Commodore Paulding's
case was fully considered, and it was deter.
mined to disapprove his seizure on the land,
as violating the sovereignty of Nicaragua and
his letter of instructions, but did not resolve
to recall him or order churt of inquiry.

Engle will carry back Secretary Toucey's an

Letters from Kanzas state that the militia
law, which was passed over Mr.. Stanton g
veto, is imperative, on account of the failure
of the officers to certify to its second passage.
The bill repeating the act which created
the Convention, shared the same fate, as did
also the repeal of the rebellion act.
Gen. Denver declares openly that Walker
and Stanton pursued the right course in Kan
zas, and that the President is much mistaken
if he supposes that he (Denver] will not fol.

Senator Pugh is trying to revive the scheme
of Mr. Stephens of Georgia, to pass the Le-
compton Constitution through Congress, and,
after accepting it, to refer it back to the peo-

without debate. He is afraid of instructions
from the Ohio Legislature.
Courier and Enquirer correspondence)-
The treaty with Nicaragua will be laid before
the Senate next week. 1t was confirmed by
the government of Nicaragua on the 10Th Of
November. One OF its stipulations pledges
the faith of the United States to protect the
transit route against vagabonds This pro-
vision will provoke the hostility of the tilibus-
ter interest, and will perhaps cause the reiec-
ton of the treaty.

RECOVERY OF LOST MoNEY.-One day last
September, Mr.. Joel Rocky well, a butcher
under the City Hall, lost from his pocket a
wallet containing 1852. A thorough search
around the premises did not bring it to light,
and it was voted as dead loss. Mr.. Rock
well was requested by Father Hughes of St.
Patrick's Cathedral to call at his house. He
obeyed the summons, " found property" and
received the lost money, every dollar, from the
priest. The confessional revealed its wheres-
bouts, and the priest acted as medium between
the conscience stricken finder and the loser Of
the money. Mr.. Rockwell gave 800 to the
priest as reward, and went home to Bloom
field, little more comfortable, it is said, than
he went home the day he met with the loss.
Very likely.-Boston Herald.

A LONG TIME GETTING THE Cows.-A
certain distinguished citizen of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, who had filed the highest office
in the State, was once in the employ of a
farmer IN Western New Y ork. Among other
things it was his duty to ''bringi in the cows"
One evening the cows and the boy 'came
home missing" Some years after, the farmer
was passing down East Water street, Mil
waukie, and saw the name of his cow boy
over the door of one of the largest ware
houses i'll the West. He walked in and found
his boy in the counting room. He stared a
moment on the truant. and then broke out
with "Hallo, Len, have you found them cove
YETI" One can imagine what followed-a
mutual recognition. 1t is said that the old
farmer was paciied without breach of the
peace.

Our readers, who are in want of Boston paper,
are referred to the advertisement of the Boston
Advertiser, in this paper The Advertiser is one
Of the ablest and most reliable newspapers in the
country, combining, in its present management,
to remarkable degree, the elements of a liberal
conservatism with progressive and reformatory
spirit We know of no paper in New England,
whose editorials are more able or better worth
reading than those Of the Advertiser, and it has
long been distinguished for the uniform accuracy
and correctness Of its political and general news,
aud particularly for the fullness and correctness
of its legislative reports. We would particularly
call attention to the club rates Of the Advertiser
which enable few neighbors to unite, and OBJ
tain first class journal at low rate.
