GEORGE n. SANDERS AND Hrs Dr;SEEs.--
The everlasting George y. Sanders, Navy Agent
Of this city, has been giving sort ofloyc feast to
the Larmonized New York democracy, at Wash
ington. Sanders Is political philosopher Of
the carnivorous tribe. There was, many years
ago, an English minister who acted upon the
fundamental principle that every man had bis
price; but Sanders takes shorter cut, aud opc-
rates as a mover ofcabincta, parties, conventions
and dynasties upon the infallible dogma that
every man has stomach. Walpolc bought up
bis men like merchandise. Sanders feeds them
like pigs. Money was the infallible specific in
The one case, while good dinner is the alpha
and omega In the other. Let us cite few of
these notable dinners Of Sanders
His campaign Of 1862, against the cold fogies,"
was commenced with dining and winning caucuses
in New York, and then with the nomination of
poor Pierce, our eating philosopher went eating
his way among the democracy, all the way up to
Concord and back. Sent over a. Consul TO Lon
don, we next find Sanders involved In q Red
Republican Continental revolution, inaugu-
the revolutionary refugees in London. Re
called, however, by the cold fogics" Of the
Senate, this grand scheme Of eating and drink
ing up the despots Of Europe was cut short, we
think, at the third dinner. In the campaign Of
1856, keeping safely to the windward, we find
our faithful disciple Of Soyer (the renowned
French cook Of the Crimean allied army work

regret that they did not catch Monsieur Rey-

OrTRAors rs AMERICAN CITIZENS N CALIAo.--
We publish in another part Of this mornings
HERALD letter from al American citizen
named Alexander Robinson, who writes 10 us
from prison in Caiiao, in which he has been
immured-as be himself says-without cause,
and where he has been treated with the greatest
inhumanity. II appears that he and two Of the
the inmates OF the same house were dragged out
of their beds at night by the police, thrown into
dungeon and subjected to the most cruel tor
lures to force them to say that they were thieves
This Is the second case Of Imprisonment Of
Americans which has been brought to our no
ticc. The other was that Of Captain Jefferson,
who has been imprisoned for years in the
same place, and who, we believe, is still
kept in confinement We trust our govern
ment will have these cases investigated and

vices have made him known to the country, and
who has the energy to act, and with him a
Congress that will act. General Scott has
said that an energetic President, with
patriotic and working Congress to
back him, could, by giving to the
executive branch Of the government promptitude
and efficiency, reduce our national expenses in
two years to forty millions Of dollars. 1t is such
a change as this that the people are called upon
to make, for the course which the present Con-
gross is pursuing is one that always leads to des
potism. Like our own, the members of the last
National Assembly of France FILTERED away their
time and reputation until the people were rr-
joiced to have Louis Napoleon step in and over
throw them. So. too, with the elder Napoleon
and the First National Assembly. It was their
abandonment Of public affairs aud constant per-
sonal wrangles that opened the way for the En-
pire. We must have revolution in the charac-
ter Of Congress, or its present state will inevi-
tably lead to revolution in our political insti-
tutons.

The Negroes of the South.

In desert 'tion of country and plantation
life in Virginia, recently published, G. P. R.
James, the novelist wr tes: "The negro life
of Virginia differs very little, believe, from
the negro life all through the South. In re-
turn for food, clothing, house room, medical
attendance, and support in old age, about
the white man in most countries, is deman-
ded of the black. He performs it badly,
and would not perform it at all if he were
not compelled. The rest of his time is spent
in singing, dancing, laughing, chattering, and
bringing up pigs and chickens. That ne
groes are the worst servants in the world,
every man, l believe, but thorough bred
southern man, will admit; but the southerner
has been reared with them from his childhood,
and in general has tenderness and affection
for them of which northern men can have
no conception. Great care is taken by the
law to guard them against oppression and
wrong, and after six years residence in the
State, | can safely say never saw more
than one instance of cruelty toward negro,
and that was perpetrated by foreigner.
That there may still be evil in the system,
which might le removed by law, and that
there may be individual instances of oppres-
sion, and even bad treatment, do not deny;
but those instances are not so frequent as
those of cruelty to a northern wife or child
in northern lands, as displayed every day by
the newspapers, and in point of general hap
piness, it would not be amss to alter an old
adage, and say, 'As merry as anegro slave
81 must not pursue this branch of the
subject further, for can pretend to no great
love for DR.. Livingstone's friends and Maka-
lolos There are, beyond all doubt, some
very excellent people among them, but, as
race, the more see Of them the less do |
think them capable of civilization, or even
fitted to take care of themselves"
Many glorious speculation has failed for
the same good reason that the old Texas
Ranger gave when he was asked why he
didn't buy land when it was dog cheap. A
correspondent tells the story.
"Well, l did come nigh onto taking eight
thousand acres onst," said old Joe, mourn
fully. "You see, two Of the boys came in
one day from an Indian hunt, without any
shoes, and offered me their titles to the two
leagues just below here for pair of boots.
''For pair of boots'' cried out.
'Yes, for pair of boots for each league"
"But why on earth, didn't you take it?-
Thcy'd be worth a hundred thousand dollars
to-day. Why didn't you give them the
boots?"
"Jest cause I didn't have the boots to
give" said Old Joe, as he took another chew
Of tobacco, quite as contented as if he owned
two leagues Of land.

1857, before California became portion o.
the Confederacy, a law was passed authoriz
ing the making of contract to carry the
mail for ten years to Oregon. Californis
was not then portion of the Confederacy
and by this route we have had our only com.
municaton with the Pacific coast. We have
been dependent entirely on this route that
was established before California was a mem
Der of the Union.
Now, Mr.. President, when the contract is
running out, we come forward and ask that,
instead Of carrying the mail through foreign
countries, we shall have route through our
own Territory. Gentlemen may disguise it
as they please, but this is a contest whether
the mail shall be carried by land to Califor-
MIA and the Pacific coast, or whether it shall
be carried by ocean steamers Sooner or
later it must come TO that now declare =

A great deal has been said on this occasion
about the amount of money that has been
appropriated for California. | know it has

it. | have never denied that the Congress
of the United States has been eminently
liberal in making appropriations for the
wants of that country; but you must bear
in mind, thai what has been appropriated for
California was demanded by an eminent
public necessity, and that section of the
Union is not responsible for it, for she came
into the Union without being invited 1t

The people and Government of the United
States took possession of the country; and
to get over the idea of conquest they subse-
quentlv purchased it. 1t was a conquered
country, and its people were never consulted.
All we ask is, since you have changed the
Government by force, and subsequently, to
cover over The actual exercise ofpower, made
a treaty of purchase with Mexico, that you
will put us on an equality with the rest of
the Confederacy, and give us mails through
our own territory.

the scene of singular disturbance. The teach
er undertook to punish dsobedient girl, about
fifteen years of age, when she seized him by the

might dodge out the door when his back was

ping was going on, and told his mother that the
teacher was killing his sister, whereupon she
started off for the school house. She arrived
there just as the key was turned, and very un-
tremendously went through the door, without
asking to have il unlocked. She clenched the
teacher inslanter, who was as much aslonished
at her unexpected advent and attack as he would
have been if tiger had pounced upon HIM lie
kept her at arms length, however, until they

THE WALKER EXPEDITION.

The Filibuster Walker is at his old tricks
again. The President has received reliable in
formation that an expedition is now berg organ
lied under the direction of Walker, for the pur-
pose of invading the Territory Of Nicaragua. He
has accordingly issued Proclamation, enjoiuing
upon the officers OF the Government, civil and
military, in their respective spheres to be vigi-
liant and active in suppressing this illegal enter
prise, and in carrying out the standing instruc
tions to that effect, and exhorting all good citi-
zens by their respect for the laws and their
regard for the peace and welfare Of the country
70 aid the efforts of the public authorities in the
discharge of their duties.
The intention is to send men to Nicaragua
ostenseRsbly emf grants, but the real object is
to invade that country and renew the scenes Of
murder and carnage which disgraced the recent
efforts of Walker to make himself president Of
Nicaragua" Walker has given notice to the
Collector Of the port Of Mobile, that two three
hundred emigrants will be prepared to embark
from that port for Nicaragua, about the middle
of the present month. The Preside nt's Procla-
nation will probably throw the arrangements OF
the illustrious fiilbuster considerably ''out of
gear" The organizing of such expeditions
within the limits of the United Stat es imprnts a
deep stain Oh our National character.

THE RECENT LAW OF LIBEL UNcoSsTITU-
TIoNAL.-In the case of the Commonwealth
VS.. the editors of the Horkingman'S 48ro-
cate, published, we believe, in Schuylkill
county. the Court held that the law of libel
of 1856 is unconstitutional, inasmuch as mo
law can contravcne or Transcend the Consti-
tuition of the State. The Bill of Rights,
which is part of the Constitution, fixes the
liberty of the Press. and declares IN what
eases the truth may be given in evidence,
thereby prohibiting 1t in all other cases. But
the law of 1856 goes further, and allows it
to be given in all cases. 1t is an altera ton
of the Bill of Rights, and therefore to that
extent unconstitutional" The ease is re-
ported in the Insurance Intelligenccr" for
