SPIRIT or THE MORNING PRESS


In the Union Of yesterday morning the
g leader is an able article on the Senate Kan
sss bill and the House Montgomery amend
ment- These two papers are critically COM
pared, and their respective merits pointed out.
The first is denominated a statesman-like
proposition" which constitutionally and fairly
" confers on Kansas the rights and dignities of
a sovereign State Of the Union" 1t is shown
to be consistent with former practice and with
the spirit of our institutions, and its adequacy
to settle at once and forever the senseless agi-
tation to which this subject has given rise is
demonstrated. The House BILL or amendment,
Is truthfully alluded to in this style:
But what Of the House bill, Does it bear the
marks OF craftsmanship We aie sorry to say IL
does not. 1t is manifest that it was not shaped
with reference to fair settlement OF the i'm
broglio IL is the product of political comoina-
ton IL was intended only to defeat the admis,
sion of the State, and not to produce peace: and
to that fact IL owes fve-sxths Of its strength in
the House; that is TO say the entire Black Repub-
lican party in that body
The article proceeds to elucidate the incon-
sistency and inadequaey of this measure in a
clear and able manner
The 'Ruses of the Enemy" in stating false
reports az to the action of the Executive re-
sPecting the various phases which the Kansas
matter has assumed from time to time in Con
gress, are shown up and properly condemned
by the Union in a brief article.
The Mfeliigencer deyotes its editorial space
TO paper on "Old Ocean Routes between
North America and Europe" and contents it.
self with brief obituary notice of the late
Hon. Thomas Hart Benton.

ASSAULT WITH INTENT To KILL After the
adjournment of the House of Representatives
to-day, the members generally remained some
time in their seats, engaged in conversation
The rules were Of course not then enforced
and several persons strolled in to converse with
members, or crafty their curiosity. One Of
these, Mr.. Heller, alias Helper, author of a
work called . The Impending Crisis took
seat next TO that of Hon Burton Craig, of
North Carolina, and commenced an animated
conversation with him in relation to an crposc
made of his Mr.. HIS character in the Senate
few days ago, by Senator Biggs.
That eIpOse was called out by Northern
member having quoted from Helfer's book
something concerning social life at the South,
and Senator Biggs in reply read long account
of Helfer's conduct while a resident of Sails
bury, c., in the course of which he accused
him Of dishonesty. Heller endeavored to as
certain who had thus posted" Mr.. Bisps.
and as Mr.. Craig came from that district. be
approached him under the conviction that he
was the informant.
His language assumed very abusive char
acter, when Mr.. c. pushed him away, and re-
fused to converse any longer. Upon this Hell
fer struck Craig, when the latter caught him
and threw him over his desk, and would prob
ably have handled him severely but for the
interference Of others.
On being released, Heller renewed his abusive
language, when he was taken in custody bv
George Thomas, Esq, Of Philadelphia, one of
the Assistant Doorkeepers, who delivered him
over to Mr.. Glosbrenner, Sergeant-at-A Arms,
and he was placed in the guard-house.
Subsequently, Jnstice Arnold held prelim-
mary examination, which terminated in reless-
ing the prisoner until O'Clock to-day, under
$500 bail, Hon. J. p. Hale having become his
security. On Hslfsr's person were found re-
vslvsr, Of Colts improvsd patent, and hand.
