WASHINGTON, Monday, April 4

Mr.. George Jones, of Iowa, who re-
Gently declined the mission to Bogota,
telegraphed to the President yester-
day, Withdrawing his declination. lie
has been notifed to report himself i'm
mediately at the War Department.
Even Runnels, the ewly-appointed
Consul to San Juan Del Sur, left
Washington this afternoon to go out
on the steamer to sail tomorrow for
Aspinwall, and will beal dispatches
to Gen. Lamar.
1t is said that Mr.. Mix, the chief
clerk OF the Indian Bureau, has been
offered the position of Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, but declined. lie,
however, has been appointed Com
missioner ad interim, till successor
to Gov. Denver shall be selected.
The Government will await the rat
ifcation by the New Granadian Con-
gress of the Seuate's amendment to
the Cass- Herraa Treaty, before it will
act on the subject Of the tunage and
other taxes provided by the Treaty OF
1S4S, and which General Herran has
been sojourning here to arrange.
Lieutenant Parrott, Of the Navy,
has been ordered to report himself to
Captain Ingraham tor duty, at the
Washington National Obser vatory.
The opinion has been expressed in
ofieiaf quarters that a necessity may
occur for an extra session of Congress,
owing to the condition of our foreign
relations.
The TGrilf Of 1857.
Mr.. Valandigham, of OHIO, made
an excellent speech in the late House
of Representatives upon the tariff
question. He exposes the sharp prac-
tice which the manufacturers Of New
England were guilty of when they
procured the passage Of the tariff of
1857. There is nothing in that tariff
to commend it to the agricultural in-
tereSt, against which it invariably dis
eliminates, as we have taken frequent
occasion, within the last year, to show.
Mr.. Vallandigham justly said:
{" But | return to the direct ques-
ton. / am no friend to the act of 1857.
1t is peculiarly a manufacturers tar
if, and a highly protective tariff, COO;
in my judgment, for them the most
protective tariff ever enacted. 1t
protects in two modes, for there are
two modes of protection 1t admits
the raw material tree, and it lays a
duty also upon the manufactured ar.
ticle. Never was there sharper prac-
tice than in the passage of that act.
1t is entitled AN act reducing the
duty on imports and it does reduce
duties, and the reduction is apparent
ly great. Revenue it certainly has
reduced. But, mark you, sir-how
does that reduction work Select the
single article Of wool. Under the act
of 1S46, all wool paid thirty per cent
But now wool, under twenty cents a
pound, is free, and manufactures oI
wool reduced from twenty four te
nineteen per cent. Thus the manu-
facturer yields six and gairs thirty
per cent, by the dexterous maheuvel
OF the third Of March, 1857. Anc
thus, too, are the interests of the pro.
duccr, and especially Of the agricul
turist OF the West, sacrificed for tht
benefit of the manufacturing interest'
Of New England /; and to-day New
England would have no change in tht
tariff" ... ..-.'@,.... ...

OF The Haytien journals contain
a curious recital Of the sitting Of the
Senate at Hayti, in which General
Geffrard took the oaths as President.
The gold crown of the ex-Emperor
was placed upon the table, and the
new President, taking a little ham,
ner in his hand, said he would not
break the bauble-that would be an
act of vandalism-but he wonld give
it three "symbolical" strokes, after
which it should be placed in the pub
lie Treasury, " where it would be ap-
preciated at its proper value" This
was accordingly done, and the .presi-
dent retired amidst the acclamations
of the Assembly.

Contemplated Frauds.

For several days past it has been ru-
mored about among the Democracy, that
they had "got everything fixed at Fort
Kearney," and it is also understood that
other precincts in the same county have
likewise been "fxed." 1t is openly boast
ed that Fort Kearney will give at least
two hundred majority for Estabrook, and
the inference is plainly to be drawn that
as much more will be furnished to order
as is required. Now, it is well known
that there are not 200 legitimate voters in
Hall county, and that any such Democratic
majority can only be obtained by the
grossest frauds; and this fact is so fully
appreciated by the Democracy themselves,
that one Of their leaders, few DAYS since
declared he would shoot ana Republican
who should venture to appear at Fort
Kearney for the purpose Of watching their
proceedings! This threat, which we have
from reliable authority, we have no doubt,
is another phase of squatter sovereignty.
We also learn that an extensive system
Of similar frauds IS contemplated at Da-
ko.a; and it is now understood that hun
dreds Of discharged governments team
sters have been called in at the different
outposts to aid in carrying out the prin-
ciples Of Democracy. Now, we have a
word of advice to offer Gov. Black and all
other Democratic officials and leaders in
this Territory. Some of YOU are not
entirely free from immoral stains, and
dare not arouse the young lion Of Repub-
Iicanism in Nebraska, by initiating the
conduct Of your brethren at Delaware
Crossing and Oxford in Kansas, and al
Pembina, in Minnesota. The temporary
fruits of those disgraceful triumphs have
turned to ashes on your lips. So will it
be in Nebraska. You may suceeed to-day,

The Cholera in Europe.

4 letter from the Grand Duchy Of
Meckenburg, in the English papers,
states that the cholera has broken out with
great violence in some towns and villages
Of that Duchy, and that many Of the per-
sons attacked have died after only four
and five hours suffering. In some Of the
villages the harvest operations have been
suspended for want Of hands, sixty and
seventy persons having been taken i'll at
the same time. The disease breaks out
frstin one place and then in another,
sparing for a time intermediate village,
and then turning back on them with In.
creased violence. The ports Of ROstock
and Warnemunde, have not escaped the
malady, which was taken there, it is sup
posed, by a vessel from St. Petersburg.
The cholera continues to rage at Ham
burg, carrying of. from sixty to seventy
persons daily.

Very Late from the Mines.

o. From the Leavenworth Herald of the
18th, we have the following from the
mines:
The Express arrived at Armor's Sta
ton, five miles from AtchisOn, last night,
having been eight days on the route
There being no passengers, the coach did
not come into the city.
G. H. Mclaughlin, Esq, the messen-
ger, came down on the Hesperian yester-
day, bringing about 800 letters, and
$500 in gold. He states that most of
those who Joined in the stampede to the
head waters of the South Platte, the
Colorado, and to a place called the Park,
are returning to the old diggings. They
found some gold, but as the Indians were
troublesome-severaI men having been
killed-and as the season was so far ad-
vanced, they could notdomuch until spring.
The diggings in the mountains are pay
ing well. All who are at work are maxi
ing good wages, while those who have
sluiCes are making money rapidly. He
saw from Henderson's lead, in the Greg
DRY digginss, $120 washed out in one day.
The weather was wet and quite cool.
Snow to the depth of two inches, fell
about one hundred and fifty miles this
side of Denver, a week ago Sunday.
w received a copy Of the Rocky Noun
tain Ne1cs. It contains no mining intel
ligence of interest. Mr.. Mclaughlin
reports that there is plenty Of gold in the
mountains, bat that it requires labor and
capital to secure It. He says there will
not many miners remain in the mountains
during the winter. Some intend coming
to Denver City, some to Golden City, and
some to the States, with a view of return
ing in the Spring.
He states, further, that one firm at
Denver has on hand two hundred ounces
of gold, which viii Be forwarded by the

Bring it 70 Head?

"Now, if the opposition to the DemOC-
ratio party, either North 'or. South, are
sincere in their professions, they are
compelled at the next session of Congress
to bring forward a law to carry out their
doctrines in the Territories. IF Mr..
Seward be an honest man, he must bring
a bill to abolish slavery and repeal the
slave code of New Mexico.
If the Southern Opposition members
elected in Kentucky OF, other Southern
States, be homes. men when they assert
that it is the duty of Congress 10 protect
slavery in the Territories against the
wishes of the people, thenthey are bound
to make laws to establish and maintain
slavery in Kansas in opposition to the
wishes Of the people. Hence l say the
question Of Intervention or of non-inter-
vention- of Congress with the domestic
concerns of the Territories can be mo
longer postponed. That issue must be
met. Either the doctrine of non-inter-
%vention and popular sovereignty must be
acquiesced in, and carried cut in good
faith, or else Congress must interfere for
or against Slavery in opposition to the
wishes of the people in each locality"
The above is an extract from Judge
Douglas speech in Cincinnati.
Now New Mexico, by its Legislature,
has passed laws establishing or protecting
Slavery. Kansas has passed laws directly
to the contrary. Now let us see the Ill
traists of the North and South-occupy-
ing the anne ground precisely, so far as
the principle is involved-show their
faith!

Senator Iverson of Georgia thus ex.
presses. himself with regard to the free
laborers Of the North, the Mud-sills of
society, as Senator Hammond calls them:
"The proud and enviable condition of
the poor white man in the South, compar-
ed TO the degraded white slave of the
North, is owing to the existence Of Afri-
can slavery in the South. If the question
of emancipating the negroes were to-
day submitted to the people Of Georgia,
nine out of ten who own no slaves would
vote. in the negative. Slavery must be
maintained-in the Union if possible-out
Of it if necessary-peaceably if we may
-forcibly if we must. He was once an
advocate Of squatter sovereignty, but had
repented Of and recanted the error. Sub
sequent Investigation had convinced him
that the true theory in relation to the
Territorial Government of the Union is
that il Is both The power and duty ofCon-
gress TO pass laws for the protection Of
slavery wherever it exists, or may exist

THE EDUCATION MOSTLY NEEDED.
Learn to Labor.

The question is often asked, why is it that so
few persons are successful in business, and why
property finds such an unequal distribution This
man, they say, received the advantage of good
English education, and that man was educated at
one of our colleges. Both have been Industrious,
honest and economical, and yet neither of them
has been successful in business. Why is it +? asks
the New York Express; and that journal proceeds
to point out the cause, and in the OF its
marks says:
The idea too commonly prevails that mere
knowledge of books is the beg inning and end of
education. Tie sons and daughters, especially of
the rich grow up with this notion in their heads,
in idlencss, as it were, with little idea of the
sponsbilities that await them Their natures re-
volt at the mention of ''labor' not dreaming that
their parents before them obtained the wealth they
are so proud of, by industry and economy. How
many young men, college bred though they may
be, are prepared to manage the estates which their
fathers possess, and which it may have required
lifetime to acquire? How many young women,
though having acquired all the knowledge and
graces of the best schools, know how to do what
their mothers have done before them, and which
the daughters may yet be compelled to do at some
period of their lives ? The children of the poor
have to labor or starve and far that goes they
are educated to be practical.
The education that SCOTS at labor and encour-
ages idleness is the worst enemy for girl, man or
woman. Instead of ennobling it degrades; it opens
up the road to ruin. The education which directs
us to do that for which we are fitted that respects
labor, that incucates industry, honesty, and fair
dealing, and that strips us of selfshness, is the
education we need, and that which must become
the prevailing system of the country before can
be happy and prosperous people.
