WASHINGTON, March 80, 1860.
The effect IF the Presidents pitiahle pro-
test 10 the House of representatives.. yester-
day afternoon, may he seen in the cxtraor-
binary vote upon its reference TO the Gem
mittee on the Judiciary, of which Hon. John
Hickman is the Chairman. A majority of
Sc, i'll body almost equally divid. d be-
tween the two great parties, cOnfiding a
grave State paper to a Committee headed 10y
one of the ablest and most gifted and fearless
members of the general Opposition. is re-
markable commentary upon the argument
and exhortation OF the first office of the r.
public. When it was read. it WAS received
with mingled indignation and scnrn. Those
who attempted to defend it seemed to feel as
il they had undertaken a hopeless task. Mr..
Boco X. ingenious and able as be usually Il,
dwindled into the special pleader, and lost
the statesman in the partisan. A mastery
and overwhelming reply may be expected
from Mr.. Hickman in u lew days.

now know that he causes some Sll 900 every
year TO be diverted into the treasury of the

The Negro I'm New York City.

The N. y. Herald published lengthy ae-
connt of the condition of the negro popula-
iion of that city, from which we condense the
following facts:
The whole number of this class of persons
is about ii 900. Abou, oue-fhird of them are
paupers, receiving their subsistence from the
public aud private charities of the city; one
third are engaged at labor 10y which they are
enabled to make a bare living; and the re-
naming third live from hand to mouth, by
their wits, aud by thieving and pilfcring in =
smsll way. The whole amount of taxable
property in the hands of the colored popula-
ton in the city, is about 100000. and is
owned by about twenty persons. Their so
cial condition Is of the lowest and most de
graded type, being much below that of any
class in the u MON. whether bond or free.
Their religious culture is sadly deficient. and
herce the proportion Of crime amongst them
Is very great. The number of arrests, for The
last year, was Que in eleven of the entire col
ored population. But their crimes are gene
rally of petty description. They appear to
he incapable CT committing outrages which
require great boldncss or great ingenuity, ex

INTERESTING DISCOVERY AT RoME.-A let
ter from LEWIS CAss, Jr., at Rome, states that
in The course of excavations on the Palatine.
where stood the House of Gold OF CeSars, a
room was exposed, on the walls of which was
found a sketch, cut or engraved with sharp
pointed instrument, of u crucifx, together
with the figure OF II man in the attitude of
prayer standing near it. Upon the cross was
represented human figure bearing The head
of an ass Beneath the individual at prayer
was inscribed, ''ALExANDER adorcs God. ("
Satisfactory evidence refers the date Of this
representation TO the reign of SEPTIMus SIv-
ERUs, ut whose Court were numei Gus Chris
tians 1t was. no doubt; intended bur-
lesque on their worship. 1t was Il current
belief at that period. that the Chr istians wor-
shipped a divinity whose head was similar to
that of an ass.

@rThe Louisville Democrat m axes the fol-

lowing remarks on the President Pro'est:
The papers are discussing the protest of
the President and the resolution of the House
that called it forth. We don't think il of
much consequence. 1t is not denied That the
House may institute an inquiry with view
to impeachment. If they have any such pur-
pose. and the House i'll choose It's own way
OF ro,ecding. This House will. of c0urs !,
select the most irregular, offensive and val
gar way they can think of. Their behavior
is not worth protest. No respectable par
ty will ever follow precedent they set.
The Democrat evidently feels that the Pres
ident has made false move, but it has not
the manliness to say so.

stated by the Washington correspondent Of
the New York LedGer.
The anxiety 20 have General Lane elect
ed does not by any means wholly arise from
political sympathy with bis views. The
clique in question are largely interested in
the Oregon war debt. which has been bought
up by parties friendly TO them ut ten cents
en- the vloliAT. Now, as the alleged debt
amount to more than six millions OF dollars.
and as General Lane. if elected President,
would of course favor its payment, we have
b. re an indueement of very solid proper
tuns tor the support Of that Candidate and
the expenditure uf a large sum of money to
secnrr his nomination. In other words,

r he California Pony ExpTess--Time
between the Atlantic aud Pacific
Reduced TO Eight Days.

The California Pony Express, between the
Atlantic and Pacific commenced practical
operations on Tuesday. 3rd inst. kilograms
by this line sent from any prominent
point in the United States east of the Missis-
sippi river, To st. Joseph on the Missouri
river, from whence they are conveyed by
horse express TO Pacervile, and thence sent
10y the telegraph line at once to Sacramento
and San Francisco. By this means the time
between the Atlantic and Pacific i reduced
to eight days. 1t is designed to extend the
wires at both ends, and thus gradually re-
duce the distance run by express. Tripli-
Gates are sent TO secure the conveyance of
the messages against accident. The tariff
from st. Louis to any point in California.
including express and all other charges, will
be five dollars and thirty cents for the first
ten words, and ten cents for each additional
W ord; and IL messages fail to go through
ahead of any other route, the money will he
refunded. The rates from New York aud
other Atlantic cities are six dollars and ninety
cents for ten words. and twenty cents for
each additional word-subject to the same
conditions.
