Correspondence Of the North Americana
Washington, March l9, 1883.
Lecompton staggers under the blows which il
has recently received That dealt SO powerfully
aud effectively by Mr.. Crittenden, on Wednes-
day, has told here, and will tell over the whole
country, wherever justice and right are respect
cd. Perhaps the most damaging demonstration,
during the whole debate, was made by Mr..
Bell, last night, when, for more than two hours,
he rivetted the attention of thronged galleries,
while tracing, with mastery skill, the whole
history of political events in Kansas, the mode
ia which the frauds we're concocted, from the
first invasion Of the Missourians, down to their
loss of power in October last, and the artful de.
vices which were employed to defeat the will OF
the people, in every stage of the iniquitous pro-
ceedings. These positions we're sustained not
by sounding defamation or unsupported gen
crali.ies, but by clear analysis of all the cleo
tions held in the Territory, contrasting them
with the registry, and proving, beyond the pos
sibility of doubt that both fraud and forgery
had been recklessly practiced as . system, in
the conspiracy Of desperate faction to control
the Territory. This exposition was drawn out
mainly by the bold assertion of Mr.. Toombs,
who undertook to disput the material facts pre-
sented by Mr.. Crittenden, but whose assertions
Mr.. Bell showed were altogether without the
authority of proof, such as he produced and
could not be denied; proof which was collected
from the report Of . committee appointed by
Congress. from the official documents accompa-
nying the Message, and more recently from the
investigation ordered by the Territorial Legis.
lature Of Kansas.
After stating these points, he reviewed, with
comprehensive and statesmanlike ability, the
policy by which this controversy was forced
upon the country, to subserve party ends and
personal ambition, deprecating the strife as in
furious TO its best interests, and calculated, il
not promptly arrested, to overthrow this fabric
of free government He addressed himself
with earnest protestation to the sectional lead.
ers OF both extremes, holding up the results of
their course, and warning them, if pursued for
the purposes which had heretofore been mani
fest, what must be the inevitable consequence
Of continued agitation. His peroration was
deeply impressive, and altogether the speech
was regarded as one Of the most commanding
which has distinguished the eminent career Of
Mr.. Bell. Its patriotism should be cherished
and laid deeply to heart, as that sort Of nstruc-
tion to which alone the Union and the Consti-
tuition can be preserved in their integrity. So
much impression has been produced by these
cxpostions Of Mr.. Crittenden and Mr.. Bell, that
the belief already prevails that decided signs Of
the defeat Of Lecompton in the House are man.

man named George Lamb, keeper of one Of
the principal hotels in Mendoza, Ills, was ar.
rested in that town on Saturday, the Goth inst,
for the supposed murder Of his wife in De-
cembsr. It appears that he started for the
South at that time in company with her, and
twenty days after, returned to the home Of her
father, in Hancock county, stating that she had
suddenly died in Memphis, Tenn. Within eight
days after bis return, he married girl living at
his hotel in the capacity Of chamber.maid.
This gave rise to saspiciops, and from certain
facts that have come to light, it is now be-
lievsd that his wife came to her unsimely end
in 81. Louis through his instrumentslity, and
on these grounds be Was arrested.

THE ROOT AND SHOE TRADE.

In New York the demand for boots and shoes is
moderate. Southern and Western dealers having
secured such supplies they required, have gener
av withdrawn from the market. The near by job
bers are now the principal buyers, and their orders
are not remarkably extensive. Stocks have been
reduced and manufacturers working with an
unusual degree of caution. Prices of raw matcri-
ais continue to rule high. These circumstances tend
to strengthen the confidence of holders of manufac
tured goods, and they are not disposed to force
their supplies on the market In Boston the trade
has become very tame. Some limited orders from
the South and West were received during the
week. The Boston Shipping List says ''Manu-
facturers are still pretty well employed, but
as soon as present orders filled they will
move more cautiously. Prices are firm, and
likely to be well sustained. Among the exports of
the week we notice l2S6 cases from this port to
San Francisco. The demand for that market con
