Tie gives Succinct account of his recent visit
to Constantinople, and contradicts the state
ments in English and French journals that pro-
tests were made by the Europeans Legations
against the right to pass the Dsrdanelles, be-
cause the United States was not party to tho
treaty of Paris. Every attention was shown
him by the Turkish authorities, who no. only
visited the Wabash, but expressed themselves
In the warmest terms of our people
HIS EXPERIENCE We find the following in
an editorial, in the New York TrtJuuc of yes
terday:
1t is not so easy as some may imagine TO give
To d false story tn appearance OF truth, when
that story is exposed TO the thorough sitting of a
rigorous cross-examnation.n
There is but little doubt, that in regard to
this matter, the editor of the Tribune speaks
from experience; and it is we'll that he thus
enlightens his readers, lest they should, in
some instances, be tempted to follow his ex-
ample
An EXrLANATIoN.-The public will be ex-
tremely gratiied to learn that Senator Brod-
erick to-day denounced as false on the floor of
the Senate chamber the statement concerning
an alleged remark of his, with reference to the
late Democratic Senatorial caucus, in the Wash
ington correspondence of the New York Tn
hume, commented on yesterday by the Star.
We regret exceedingly that this explanation
was not more promptly made, as it would have
relieved us from the disagreeable necessity OF
commenting in any manner on the affair.
A RENCoNTRE, accidental, We presume, oc-
Cured in the Capitol, after p. IN. to- lay, be-
tween Mr.. Chas. c. Walden, late deputy COL
lector of the port of New York, and the Hon.
George Taylor, NJ. c. from Brooklyn, who re-
sented offensive words uttered by Mr.. w. by a
pretty rough assault on him.
The interference of bystanders was prompt;
and therefore, of course, no serious bodily harm
was done. We presume the affair is already
regretted by both parties.
TEE WEArHER.-The following report of the
weather for this morning is made from the Morse
Telegraph line to the Smithsonian Institution.
The time of observation is about Z o'clock.
