The New PHASE IN OUR RELATIONS WITH
ENGLAND.-We learn from Washington that the
advices from London in regard to the British
outrsges are of the most friendly character, aud
that the relations of the two countries will BE-
put at once upon u footing of cordial co-opera-
ton IN all the American questions
To do this il il stated that complete chang
il expected to be made in both missions, ~
Lord Napier will probably be superseded BY
some friend of the present Cabinet; while Mr..
Dallas, who has been found sympathizng with
Lord Palmerstou, it is supposed will he re-
called. IF his is the case we trust Mr.. Buchan-
an will not hesitate to appoint new Minister
to England at an early day. and settle. the
policy of the two countries upon all the ques-
tions of Spanish America on the footing il
should occupy. Our geographical aud political
position toward the republics south of US is one
that should give US the lead in international
policy toward them; and a. we do not seek for
tions from the benefits of peaceful trade and
transit England will find her greatest benefit in
uniting with us. Those countries have all an
impulse toward q republican form Of govern
ment, and any attempt to 70 establish there old
sbsolutist forms can only result in continued
strife and anarchy.
Palmerston has now been fairly caught In biz
intrigues, and it is to be hoped that the people
of England will open their eyes to the utter
selfshness of his policy. BE would have
plunged the two countries into war merely to
cover bis other designs and keep himself in Of
fee. The whole scheme was planned to work
upon the American people in such way as to
force upon US the onus of the declaration OF
war, and was only upset by the double failure
of Palmerston: first failing to hold on to power,
and then failing to get back there. The ques
ton of the right of search, however, should be
settled now for all time. The claim on the
part of England to exercise belligerent right
upon the sea in time of peace, can never be
admitted with honor or safety by this country,
and never will be admitted. The sacrifice OF
this point by England involves no sacrifice OF
honor or of the right of self-protecton; and
any ministry that settles it in this way will
place the amicable relations of the two coun.
tries upon a permanent footing, and prevent
any cabal. however strong, from involving
them in such imminent risk as that to which
they have lately been subjected.

The FORCE or PREJuDICE.-SOme men are ~
proud of their ignorance as others are Of hser
acquirements. Some will also ignore . fact
because the source whence it is derived Is On
palatable. We can only pity suCh miserable
afIectatioo, for its only effect is to render the
persons guilty of it ridiculous. Their folly can
neither ietard the progress of truth, nor depre-
ciate the value of the authority which 1t is
sought to slight
rance, which has suggested these remarks, is to
be found in IN episode which occurred in the
House of Representatives on Wednesday night.
In discussion between Mr.. Letcher, q lead
ing member of the Committee of Ways and
Means, and Mr.. Clay, of the Committee Of
Foreign Affairs, the latter on being twitted on
the lateness OF his information on point con-
nected with the British outrages, and which had
been anticipated by Q statement In the HERALD
twenty.four hours previously replied that he
never read that paper. Were Mr.. Clay an or
binary member of the House, and not vested
with any special functions, this declaration
would simply provoke Q smile. As member,
however, Oh INC Vo1onnitbec VI roSeaSA AAAs'
the holiness with which he avows that be pur-
posely declines avsiling himself of the earliest
and most authentic source of information on 50
important subject is surprising in man who
is known to be endowed largely with the organ
of self esteem. In indulging his preiudices Mr..
Clay unaccountably forgot what was due to
his own character as legislator The House
of course smiled at the naiveness Of the de-
clarstion, whilst Mr.. Letcher contented himself
with recommending the gentleman from Ken
lucky to include amongst his reading journal
that had established some character for enter
prise.

REORGANIZATION OF THE BLACK REPUBLICAN
PARTY.-A warm discussion is at present being
carried on amongst the newspapers and politi-
clans Of this State about the reorganization of
parties, or, rather, about the reorganization Of
the black republican party. The Chevalier
Webb, the Hon Massa Greeley, the Rev. Thur
low Weed, and the whole host of politicians, lit
tie villains and stock gamblers, are all laboring
at this business of reorganization. They seem,
however, in their discussions to overlook the
only fitting manner In which the proposed re-
organization can be carried out. Matteson's
and Greeley's system is decidedly the best.
Matteson would like to see hundred thousand
dollars deposited in the hands of Greeley to
meet contingencies; but the Chevalier Webb
ought to have chance of paying his house ex-
penses out Of the fund.- whilst reservation Of
at least five thousand dollars should be made for
Thurlow Weeds literary services This il the
only way to reorganize the black republican
party for the benefit Of all these worthless

OOUhTESIES Of OONGRESS.-A row IN COn-
gress has now become part of the stereotyped
daily news The last chronicled was the ARRAY
between Wilson of Massachusetts, and Gwin of
California. Gwin insinusted that Wilson was
''demagogue;" Wilson retorted by limiting that
Gwin was thief;" Gwin closed the contro-
versy by denominating Wilson coward and a
liar" 1t is not stated that the Senate was much
disturbed by this amiable colloquy. Indeed, of
late, similar dialogues have been frequent
enough to accustom the Senate to the use of
harsh terms. Only day or two since, JEFF
Davis and Benjamin of Louisiana came within
an ace of duel, the words "insolence" and
"impertinence" having been fully applied by
the one to the other. A short time before, Sena-
tors Green and Cameron gave each other the
lie; and Clay of Alabama has had two or three
most abusive passages with his colleagues. 1t
is the same story in the House. Harris and
Hughes gave each other the lie; Grow knocks
Keitt down; and at least half dozen members
repeatedly handy the groesest imputations and
the foulest epithets without hesitation. This
seems to be the received style of Congressional
debate.
One remark thereon must be made. Here
tofore 1t has been usual to regard with some
contempt and loathing the shoulder hitters Of
Tammany, the bullies of the Five Points and
the rufians of the primary meetings; this can
hardly be justified hereafter. For 1t Is now
manifest that between these rufians and our
representatives in the two houses Of Congress
the slight difference which exists is in favor Of
the former. The rowdies and the Senator's and
Representatives affect the same style Of discus.
sion, and employ the same epithets and like
oaths; but, whereas the former are always
ready to take and to give satisfaction where
harsh words have passed, the Congressman and
Senators seem always able to wriggle out of
their quarrels by some Pickwickian method.
There is no danger Of their ever coming to q
fight. Let people then be careful how they
abuse the rowdiea They deserve more con-
sideration than many national representatives

PRESERVING RAILROAD TiaRERs.-Mr.

road car. Fill it with coal tar, (Which can be
obtained at any Of the gas works for $3.50 a

introduce a set Of ties or imbers, and boil
them fora short period, raising them up and
down by some simple contrivance. four or five
times, when undergoing the operation; then
take them out and letthem dry for few days.
II Will require but q short time to prepare
timbers in this manner, aud ths cost is not
worth naming. in comparison with the dura-
bility imparted to them over those laid down

prepared ties will last three times longer than
an unprepared set. Fence posts shonId also
