We are in receipt of a very important
letter from the Capital, but it reaches us too
late for this issue. In substance, it states
that Chief Justice WRIGHT has decided, in
the case of Young, Stokes, ct. al. VS.. Scott
county, that the issue of County Bonds is
invalid, both under the old and new Con-
stitution; that a majority have no inherent
right to vote tax for the payment of the
interest on such Bonds, and that the I.egis-
lature has not conferred upon the counties
authority to issue them. He boldly pro-
nounces the taxes for interest uncollcctable.
Justice STOCKTON concurs, because the OBJ
lection is made before the bonds are issued
and WOODWARD dissents because the de-
cision will work injury throughout the State.
Mr.. COOPER, of the Educational Board,
offered bill providing that each district is
body corporate; Town Clerk to act as
Secretary; after the term of present County
Superintendent expires, the County Judge
to appoint County Examiner for one year
the township board have power to alter the
boundary Of districts. Several days have
been spent on the bill. Mr.. PERRY, a young
lawyer from the I'd. District, is an ''eterna
niger hater," and ''he will do good dea
of useless talking" A petition is before
the Board, from Cedar county, asking if {
certain little niger in that county, has
any business in the public schools. The
petition was referred to the Committee or
Judiciary, Messrs. MILLS, Connolly ant
PERRY. Fun is anticipated over the repor
they will present.

SENATOR BROWN OF MISSISSIPPI.


The snhioned extract, from Senator Browns speech
during the debate between him aud Douglas. presents
in nutshell his idea Of protection of slavery in the
Territories:
Now when Territorial Legislature refuses pro.
lection for my slave property, mean to come to Con
gress, and this will be my speech Senator's this
Territorial Legislature is your creature: you breathed
into it the breath of existence; it could not live an
hour but in the sunshine of your approval. l come
to tell you that your creature is not obeying the Con-
sttutou; that your creature is denying to me rights
guaranteed to me by the sacred charter of our ber-
ties as expounded by the highest judicial tribunal
IN the iand your creature denies to protection for
my slave property come to ask you, the master,
whether you will grant me that protection
That the foregoing remarks would be perfectly
right and proper to make no one disputes. But how
would they be received? What reply would Senator
Brown get to his questions? Why, general and
unqualified negative. The "protection' he asked for
would be refused; and the Creature of Congress
would be told to go in its work of unfriendy legis
lation against slavery in the Territories! No man
with an ounce of brains in his head will question the
entire probability Of this proposition.
We are well aware that Southern statesmen in Con.
gress must argue the consttutionality of this ques-
ton, although they know that their arguments if as
true as the Bible and as incontroyerble as demon.
stration ITSELF can have effect upon the bigoted
fanatics with whom they have to deal. Their position
deVolves this disagreeabe duty upon them. But with
private citizens the is different, and they may
take practical view Of the matter, as we do. This
territorial question, and all the arguments which may
flow out of it, will never be worth furthing to the
South. The day is passed when the Constitution or
the decisions of the Supreme Court present any bar
riers to Northern aggression. The Abolitionsts
boldly and successfully rample both under foot when
they stand in their way. No Territory will ever be
admitted into the Union with Constitution permit
ting slavery; and notwithstanding the Treaty of An.
neSation expressly provided and stipulated that
TeNas should be divided into four States, whenever
suifciency of population was obtained, we very much
doubt whether an ass of adequately stupendous
proportions can be found in the South, who will
maintain that the provisions Of the aforesaid treaty
would be complied with by the North if the slave
interest predominated in the three new States pro-
posed to be created.
10 use common, but expressive phrase, " the
thing is out. In less than two years the Southern
people will be compelled to choose between abect
submission and degrading serldom, Or venture bold
and strong blow for their constitutional rights.

The BRIGHT SUMMER WEATHER continued yester.
day. Perspiration was free, and the shady sides of
the streets and breezy spots sought after.
The LADIES' FAIR, on Dryades street, has become
an exceedingly popular institution, affording, as it
does, en- agreeable resort for ladies and gentlemen
of all parts of the city. The building is airy and
pleasant, and good music in attendance.
THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE BERNARD wHEELEuAN
took place yesterday at noon, and was large and
imposing affair." Mechanics Fire Company No. 6, of
which the deceased was an exempt member, turned
out in full strength with the officers OF the Fremen's
Charitable Association, and large numbers of other
6remen The attendance of private citizens personal
friends of the deceased, was also very large; the
train of carriages being apparently nterminabe. It
in truth one of the largest funerals ever seen in
this city.
The procession started from Mechanics engine
house, and halted at ST. Patrck's Church. where the
burial service was performed and afterward tread
ing slowly to the solemn strains Of the dead march,
the cortese moved on to the last place of aIl-the
Firemen's Cemetery. No better evidence of Barney
Wheelehan's excellence as a citizen whilst living,
could have been shown than the extent and soemnity
of the multitude who followed him when dead. He
lived with honor, and died universally regrette d.
May he rest we'll
In another part Of to.day's paper will be found
series of resolutions expressive of the feelings of the
Fire Departmental in regard to the deeease of their late
friend, companion and brother.
JoHN MuLL1GAN was admitted to the Charity Hos
pal yesterday, with some Of the bones of his body
disocated. He was leaning against car on the
Jackson Road, at Pass Manchac, when another car in
motion, came along and gave him twist. He is not
fatally injured.
H. D. DEvEbIN had his lip slit and his cheek
gashed by some one with knife, on Wednesday
night in plug muss at the corner of Lafayette and
Freret streets. He is at the Charity Hospital, doing
we'll.
JACOB AIRING, the German who cut his throat in
the Fourth District, few days since, in consequence
of trouble with his wife, died Wednesday evening,
at the Charity Hospital-so we hear from the Hos.
pital The Coroner had not been notified up to last
evening.
JULIAN GATA, Spaniard, was stabbed at Lake
Borgne on Wednesday afternoon, by felowcounfry'
man named Rafael Cartagena. He was stabbed in
three different parts of his body He was brought up
by the cars to the city, taken to the guardhouse by
Sergeant DucoiBg, and sent thence to the Charity
Hospital.
TIE INQUEST into the death of Henry w. Allen,
mate Of the steamer D. r. Carroll, has been deferred
until the arrival of the boat, which he received
the wound that eventuated indirectly in death. The
man who stabbed him was arrested soon afterwards,
and is now in custody somewhere up Red river.

VIRG1NIA,-1n the report of the discussion be-
tween Mr.. Goggin aud Mr.. Montague, Democratic
candidate for LeutenantGovernor in Caroline county
given in the Fredericksburg News we find the fol.
lowing: Mr. Montague said l voted for Buchanan
on the Cincinnati platform, but he has deceived me-
he is traitor to his party, and so help me my Crea-
tor, will never vote for him again.
Well This is only Mr.. Montague's individual opin.
ion aud individuals make no sort of difference with
the Democratic masses. They generally vote as they
are directed by Observation-Disclosures it be for trail
tors Or patriots, ignoramuses or men of learning.
Why, even in Louisiana, we have man (Hunter)
filling high State office, who is SO grossly ignorant
that he cannot spell the commonest words in the
English language and yet he is held up as model
entitled to still further elevation!
But neither the Democratic candidate for Lieut.
enant-Goyernor of Virginia, Mr.. Montague, nor the
Democracy of that State generally, have any right
to complain of Mr. Buchanan's treachery to them, or
OF anything else he has done. Their candidate for
Governor-Hon. John Letcher--endorsed language
used in regard to slavery far more bitter and infamous
than Seward and Greeley ever employed This should
close their mouths orall time to come. The support
ers of Letcher in 1859, cam without any great incon
sisteDcy, become the supporters of Seward in 1860
If there is any difference between the two politicians
it is in favor of Seward for he has ever had too much
regard for the propretes of life to utter sanction
the abomnable sentiments Of the Ruffner pamphlet,
which John Letcher unequiyocally sanctioned and
enforced! So, the less these Virginia Democrats say
against Nh. Buchanan the better for their own cause
and their own characters. We have no love for the
Presdent--never have had aud never expect to
have-hut, with all bis faults, We consider him
truer man, so far as Southern constitutional rights
are concerned, than the Hon, John Letcher o! Fir-

ADJUSTMENTS LAST EVENING,

THE yAR1ETIEs.-The most liberal construction
which can be put upon the attendance at the Varie
ties last night would term it meager-a good indca
ton that the French drama is played out for the pre-
sent, and that something which will pull better than
Pauline must be brought on to draw house at this
advanced period of the season. existence. This play
followed by an intoxicating Chinese dance, per-
petraed in irreproachable style by the light footed
corps of the establishment and the curtain rose there
after on the merry comedy" Sweethearts and Wives"
in which Messrs. Smith, Davenport and Owens figured
in most agreeable style.
AMPHITHEATER.-The slender auditory last night
which " Blackeyed Susan and Perfection" called
together indicated that the legitimate" is the win
ming card, even when played by children, for Mac
BETH and Richard II1n have drawn and entertained
the best houses which have of late been sucked into
the Amphtheater. And, by the way, we believe that
we did not, yesterday morning, mention the unpre-
cedentedly tremendous sword play in which the
GloSter of Master Louis and the Richmond Of Miss
Louise indulged on the green baize field of Bosworh
Though too long drawn out, for Richmond might
have been decently killed in half the time, it was
really remarkable for daring, dexterity and DURATION
and Kirby himself could not have died more agon-
izing death than did the promising young tragedian
of the Marsh troupe. Miss Louise seemed gifted with
the vre strength of masculine m1tnrity and put the
savage Richard on all his muscle as they hacked and
hammered with their stage swords until the fire flew
again the house was enthusiastic, and every blow
was a decided hit.' 1t is no fgurative extrava-
gance to say that at the close Of the play when the
beneficiary and the doughty maiden of a Richmond
were called before the curtain bucket of bouquets
were showered upon them. Richard attempted to
make speech, but overexertion had rendered bis
voice as hoarse the animal that be had offered his
kingdom for short time previous, and his remarks
were inaudible to us.

DARING FEAT.-A young man was employed re-
Gently in St. Louis to ascend flagstaff at English's
Cave, nnetyeight feet in hight for the purpose of
arranging the ropes by which the flag is raised and
lowered. After completing his work, some one be.
low, in bantering manner, dared him to stand upon
it. No sooner said than done. By aauick movement
he threw himself upon it, and them upon one foot,
balanced himself and remained for moment, COM
posedly viewing what must have been horror.
stricken crowd below. He reganed terra irma with
facility ard safety.
