THE ADMISSION or KANSAS
In response 70 the report Of tho House Cemmtaee
Territories which asserts tho general principle that ths
acceptance rejection Of petition for the admission Of
State rests entirely In the discretion Of Congress the
time Of such application, Mr.. Clark, Of Missouri, Of
the minority, will present the following poins:-The
constitution Of Kansas not formed and presented 70
Congress in accordance with law (meaning tho English
billy, but in derogaton thereof that does not appear
that there within her limits sufficient population ~
required by law and further, the proposed area ON
braces the Cherokee Indian Territory, which Congress-
in 1854 formally decided should constitute part Of the
Territory Of Kansas but will be excluded from its beuad
aries These reasons form the ground Of the opposition
the democratic side to the admission Of Kansas under
the Wyandot constitution

charged before he DISTRICT Court Of the United
States With an act Of piracy. Il will no doubt
be clearly set forth, in the testimony to be ad-
duced, whether tho Saratoga, Indianola and
Wave showed their flags whom approaching him,
and II two shots were fred at him or not before
be opened fire. In this trial several complieat-
cd points will be involved, from the fact that
the resistance to inquiry was perpetrated I'M
der the claimed protection of two flags
those of Mexico and Spain-and that the ships
were fitted out in Spanish port 1t Is well
established principle of international law, that
the levying of, and the fitting out of armed
cruisers, is an exclusive prerogative Of s0ver
eighty, which no foreign Power can lawfully
exercise in the territory Of another State with.
out its express permission. Perhaps Senior
Marin has infringed both the laws of Spain and
Mexico in this Quitting, and as the offence and
capture both took place in Mexican harbor,
the government of that republic may demand
that the ships and prisoners be delivered to
them for trial and punishment. If President
Juarez advances the claim of sovereign juris-
diction, public comfy may require that the
trial be transferred to Vera Cruz.
The DISTANCE BETWEEN THE ATLANTIC AND
THE PACIFIC CURTAILED TO EIGHT DAYs.-Com-
menciDg with to morrow the distance between
the Atlantic and the Pacific will be lessened to
little more than week. kilograms can be
sent over the wires to St. Joseph, on the
Missouri river, from whence they will be con-
veyed by pony express to the telegraph line
at Placerville which will transmit them at
once to Sacramento and San Francisco. The
distance run by express will be gradually
lessened at both sides, and if the appropriation
sought by the American Telegraph Company
be granted by Congress, we shall shortly be
able to communicate with San Francisco in the
course of few hours Thus science is gradu-
ally annihilating space and beating down the
barriers that separate the interests of commu-
mites.

The GRIDIRON BILLS AT ALBANY-MORE CRY
RAHwAYs.-The taxpayers of this city, who
have been comforting themselves with the re-
Election that the monstrous railway robbery
scheme would be killed by the Governors
veto, will be little startled at the alarming
probability that the bills will pass over the
veto by constitutional majority of two-thirds.
For George Laws great gridiron there were
twenty votes in the Senate; only two more
Senator'S are to be coaxed or bribed into voting
for the measure to secure its triumph. In the
Assembly six bills have passed, and each has
received an average of ninety votes-four more
than are required to pass bill over veto. So
the city will be thoroughly gridirened in
year or two We have now six railways COM
pleted in our streets-the Second, Third
Fourth, Sixth and Eighth avenue, and the
Hudson River roads, The Ninth avenue road
is begun, but not finished The new city rail
roads will be eight in number, viz:-The Sc
venth avenue, Fourteenth street, Tenth avenue,
avenue B, avenue G, South and West street.
Barclay street and Houston street; so that
public highway on this island without rail-
road through it will be novelty. The lobby
has had-thanks to the apathy of New York
Taxpayers splendid thing of it during this
session. The Gridiron Legislature will figure
largely in the annals of corruption. It beats
Wisconsin out and out

SHRINKING THE STREETS.-Our streets were
never more in want of the Croton than last
week. As the water which is used for sprinkling
them is paid for by families, we can see no rea-
son why they should be debsrred from using it
at the period when it is most wanted. For
merly our streets were lit by the almanac
that is to say, when the almanac promised
moonlight the gas was not Lit. If the alma
mac happened to lie our citizens were ex-'
posed to all the perils of streets plunged in
Cimmerian darkness, and had to take the
chances of highway robbery or assassination.
The Croton Board appears to act pretty much
on the same system. The two months in the
year in which we suffer most from dust are
March and April. During this period an in
calculable amount of damage is done by it to
goods exposed for sale, and to property OF all
kinds, to say nothing of the physical all
ments and discomforts which it occasions.
Notwithstanding these facts, the Croton
Board forbids by its regulations the water
to be used for sprinkling purposes. We
hope that it will be induced to abandon
this abominable plan of doing business,
and give us water for sprinkling the streets
when it is really wanted-if not, we strongly
recommend the sufferers to avail themselves of
that principle of law which provides compen-
sation for injuries occaaioned by neglect on the
part of public companies or officials, and
to bring suits against the Board for damage
done to crinoline and eyesight. The shower
last night was q special interposition of Pr0vi-
dence.

QUEEN VICTORIA AND HER CHILDREN.-A
primary regard is paid to moral and religt
ious duties. They rise early, breakfast at
eight, and dine at two. Their various occu-
pations are allotted out with almost military
exactness. One hour finds them in the
study of the ancient, another Of modern
authors, their acquaintanceship With the
Languages being founded on thorough
knowledge of their grammatical construc
ton, and afterwards familiarized and per-
fected by conversations :. Next they are
trained in military exercises which. give
dignity and bearing. Another hour isagree
ably filled up with the lighter accomplish
ments of music and DANCING. Again the
happy party assemble in, the. riding school,
where they may be seen deeply interested in
the various .evolutions of the menage.-
Thence-while drawing and the further ex
ercise of music, and the lighter accomplish
ments, call off the attention Of their, sisters
the young princes proceed to busily en-
gage themselves in a carpenter s.shop, fitted
expressly for them. at the wish Of the royal
consort, with turning lathe and other tools
essential to a thorough knowledge of the
craft. A laboratory is occasionally brought
into reqnisition, at the. instance also of their
royal father, and the. minds of the children
are thus kept from contemplation of the
curioGties Of chemical science and the
wonders of nature into an inquiry into their
causes. The evening meal, the preparation
for the morning lessons, and brief religious
instructions, close the day.

THE IMPERIAL FAMILY.-The Paris cores
pondent of the New York Herald, who recent
iy was blessed with a sight of the imperial fam
ily OF France, described them as follows. First
came the
Prince Imperal-Napoleon Eugene Louis
Jean Joseph-the youngster who, if nothing
happens, will some day ascend the imperial
throne of France. He was standing up, as lie
almost always is when riding and looking out
of the carriage window, apparently in high
glee at seeing such throng of carriages and
people. He is pretty little bueeyed boy,
and will be four years old on the 10th of next
March. His gouyerHdRte and nurse always ride
with him. He is said to be very bright boy,
and already able to converse quite fuently in
English and Spanish. His mother, it is said,
in her hours of family retirement, often adj
dresses him in her native Castilian, while the
Emperor delights to talk English with him.
Ills gourernante, of course, drills him in French,
SO that the acquisition of the three languages
is no very difficult task for him.
Driving pair of splendid bays attached to
box wagon, with the reins in his own hands,
and handling them as though he was accus.
toned to 1t, without any outriders, equeries
or guards, the Emperor Napoleon came along
the avenue. He was dressed with n black
overcoat and a hat which was of a fashion of

manding of the Republicans that they
withdraw the name of SHERMAN, and put
up that of some other Republican, as their
candidate for Speaker. But when asked
whether any of their members in Congress
would vote for Mr.. CoRw1N, or any other
Republican that might be named in place
of MIR. SHERMAN, they at once answer, no !!
When asked whether they would support
an Anti-Leeompton Democrat in the event
the Republicans should nominate one, the
answer is the same-no! Then how in
the name of common sense is an organiza-
ton to be effected? No, they will not
vote for Republican, they will not vote
for an Anti-Lecompton Democrat, but they
wonld like to see the Republicans break
up their organization so that some south
ern hot-spur might get into the CHAIR
There is no more chance of Northern
Democrat being elected Speaker, tLan there
Is of BUcHANANs reelection to the Presi-
dency, because the Southern fire-eaters
would not permit it. Blu, Northern dem

SIGN1FIcANT.-At' the Douglas State
Convention held at Springfield, Illinois, on
the 4th inst, the declaration Of one of the
Speakers, that if Republican President
was elected in 1860, he should sustain all
his constitutional acts, was received with
groans and bisses, whilst tie declaration
of another of the Speakers, that he would
support the Charleston nominee whoever
he might be, was received with applause.
The Douglas farce is nearly played out
even in Illinois. Instead of their State
Conception taking bold stand in his favor
and in favor of the principles that he once
pretended to support, they did neither. but
like thieving boys caught in some mans
orchared, they went round and round the
fence as if in hunt of some opening to get
out at.
