Austrian Tyranny i'm the Venetian
Provinces.

The Venice correspondent of the London
Times. in speaking of the Austrian tyranny
in that province, says that not day passes
without some new arrests. More than one
hundred and fifty persons belonging 10 the
most honorable classes have been sent in
chains, like common malefactors, to the
fortresses of Olmutz and Therestenstadt.
However, large number is still detained
in the prisons of Venice, among which are
the celebrated lawyer DIoDAr1, DR.. FoRTU-
NATo, Count F1occARDo, and several priests
who have fallen into punishment because
they refused their signatures to the address
to the Pope, which was drawn up by the
Jealous Bishops of Austria, who intended
to keep the clergy separate from the real
national movement. No color is sufficiently
black to paint the situation of the unfortu
nate Venetians. Property holders have had
their revenues largely diminished by many
calamities, such as the disease among the
silkwor great drouth, &C., and been i'm.
poverished by acquisitions made of them.
and the labor which they had to furnish the
government they know not how to pay
their continually increasing taxes, and are
consequently forced to be submitted to the
summary process of the tax collectors. The
laborers, deprived of all work-all large
workshops being closed, and the smaller
ones in languishiDg state, because they
receive no orders-walk through the streets
with idle hands, ashamed of their desperate
and unmerited position.

From Mexico.

We have dates from Vera Cruz to the
18th of March. A military conference be-
tween agents of JAUREz and MIRAMoN had
agreed upon the terms of an armistic, but
the JAuREz government disapproved of them
because they did not sufficiently guarantee
the Constitution of 1857, which is the car.
dinal principle of said government. After
three meetings the conference was dissolved,
and the garrison re-opened fire on the morn
ing of the 18th, which was quickly returned
from MIRAMoN's battery.
The prisoners captured on the Miramon
feet have all been brought to New Orleans.
They number upwards of 200 men, and a
portion of them have been confined in the
parish prison at New Orleans, by the q. 8.
Marshall. The sloop of war Preble is an
chored on the river, opposite New Orleans,
with l2O prisoners, among whom are Com.
MARIN and his two sons.

Down ON tho st. Paul Ladies.

Col. STEVENS, of the Glencoe Register
! the heathen-in the last number Of his paper
thus refers to the ladies Of this city in the
course of some comments upon the B1LANsKY
case:
If there was ever heartless set of ladies in
any community, they exist in St. Paul. We
do not think there could be found il the whole
city half dozen that were not determined
that their fallen and unfortunate sister should
swing. Shame on them! We will venture to
say that Mrs. Bilansky did not receive spiritual
consolation from solitary church going lady
in that city. 1t is very strange that if q wo-
man falls, she finds her most bitter enemies to
be those of her own sex. None are perfect
all have their faults-and some, it is true, have
more wickedness than others, but we would
like to call the attention of those ladies to the
language of our Saviour when he said, slet
him who is without sin cast the first stone."
The abettors in the hanging of Mrs. Bilansky,
from the Governor down to the hangman, are
nothing but legal murderers, and if the ghost
Of that poor and prosecuted old woman don't
haunt them, and if they don't have to answer
for this damning sin on the morning Of the
Judgement day, then justice will be dealt out
unjustly.
The Colonels comments are very spicy,
but they lack the important essential of
truth. Mrs. BILANsKY received kindly
sympathy and religious consolation from
scores of women in this city many labored
earnestly to secure Communication of her
sentence, and that such course was not
pursued by majority, is probably owing to
the fact that women, above all other persons,
could better appreciate the terrible and
barbarous nature of the crime of which Mrs.
B1LANsKY had been found guilty.

Reunion Of the Methodist Church.

We perceive that the subject of reunion
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, north
and south, is being extensively discussed in
the various papers of the Church, and the
present year being the centenniary anniver-
sary of Methodism in the United States, is
regarded as the most fitting time for its
accomplishment. The recent national con-
vention held by the lay preachers of the
Methodist Episcopal connection in Baltimore
had the subject under consideration, and
took some measures for testing its practica>
bility. A correspondent of the Richmond
Christian advocate, proposes the assemblage
of conference of reunion" the delegates
to which to be elected by each and every
annual conference, so that every section and
shade of opinion in the country shall be
represented. The delegates to consist of
both clerical and lay delegates, and to meet
in some central city near the border line of
the two Churches-say Washington City
and after mature elaboration and due con-
sideration, report plan for reunion, to be
submitted to all the conferences for ratif-
cation. If the plan proposed should fail to
receive the approval of two thirds of the
conference in the Methodist Episcopal church
north, and two thirds of the conference in
the Methodist Episcopal church south, then
such plan should be null and void, and of no
effect. On the other hand, it is suggested
that if the plan proposed should receive the
approval of two thirds of all the conferences
of each church, then reunion should be de-
clared effected according to whatever plan
the conference may have proposed.
The writer also suggests that any difficulty
in the Episcopacy might be remedied by the
election of one bishop from every two or
three conferences, who shall always be the
presiding bishop of said conferences, assisted
by as many other bishops as might choose
to be present. By this means it is contended
that every section of the Church and of the
country would have its pro rata Episcopal
representation and jurisdiction.

Pacific Railroad.

The House committee on the Pacific Rail-
road has determined to report bill providing
for but one road, that, of course, by the
central route. We have the following par.
ticulars of the last meeting of the committee,
in the New York Tines correspondence
dated the 26th:
The special committee of the House on
the subject of the Pacific Railroad, held q
protracted session this evening. An inter-
esting debate sprang up on the motion to
motion to reconsider the vote of the commit.
tee adopting only one route, the Central.
They refused to reconsider, six to seven, the
Chairman not voting. Messrs. Fenton, of
New York, and Smith, of Virginia, absent
All the Republicans voted against reconsid-
GRAFTON, except Mr.. Aldrich, of Minnesota.
1t was no party vote, however. Mr.. Taylor
of Louisiana, submitted resolution that
the contract be given to parties making the
best terms, subject to decision of the officers
of the government, also leaving choice
route to contractors.
Mr.. Phelps, of Missouri, proposed to
make the terminus of the road at the eastern
border of California, so as to allow that
state to build road connecting with it to
San Francisco.
Mr.. Hindman, of Arkansas, submitted
resolutions authorizing the election of SUBJ
committee, consisting of the Chairman and
two members of the present committee
also, extending government aid, not exceed
ing $50,0O0,000, and 100000 acres of
land; also, defining the route also, author
izing some officer of the Cabinet tn advertise
proposals for contractors. These questions
all remain to be discussed at the next meet
ing, on Wednesday morning. Col. Curtis
has drawn bill in favor of one route.

Tho Administration War ON Douglas
.-Senator Rico Taking a Quiet
Hand I'm the Game.

The war of the Administration and its
followers against DouaLAs continues fierce
and undated. The most desperate efforts
are put forth to corrupt the delegates elected
and instructed for DOUGLAS in the North,
and to create and embitter sectional preju-
dices against him in the South. The his
tory of our politics, disreputable as are some
of its periods, has never been disgraced by
such wanton and shameless prostitution of
the public patronage, as is now in progress
to crafty the revengeful hate of the admin
istration.
We notice that Senator RICE, who stu
diously misrepresents the Democracy of
Minnesota in regard to the Presidency, is
taking quiet hand in the Administration
game. We say "quiet," because it is not
the fashion of our Senator to be override
monstrative in his maneuvres. He does
not, like FITCH and BRIGHT, put his senti>
ments on the record, and thus make his
treachery respectable by the boldness with
which it is performed. He prefers the
quieter method, and loves the safer shadow
of the rose.
Mr.. KELLOGG, a Black Republican Con.
gresham from Illinois, delivered speech in
the House of Representatives short time
since, which was filled with the grossest
personal and political abuse of Judge DOUG
LAs-so gross that it received the condemna-
ton Of the better portion of the members of
that party. This TRADE, which was too out.
rageous for Black.Republican stomachs,
finds favor and an endorsement from our
illustrious Senator,-who betrays his SYM
pathy with the prejudices both of the Ad-
ministr alto and the Republicans, by cir
culating it, under his Senatorial frank,
among the Democrats of Minnesota.
We do not mention the fact from any
fear that KELLoGG's speech, even with the
endorsement of the Senator's frank, will in.
jure DOUGLAS in the esteem of our Demo-
cracy, but merely as matter of current
political news. DOUGLAS has, before now,
fought against, and triumphed over, the
combined opposition of the Republicans
and the administration and be is able to
triumph over the same combination again.
