New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1860-06-16

1t was supposed once on time by the innocents,
that when the bogus Democrats asserted the doc
trine of non-interventon, they meant non-ntervsn-
ton by outside authorities with the people of the
Territories. This was not rsry unnatural conclu-
sion. 1t was left to DIR. Loring of Salem, howev.
er, a delegate to the Democratic National Conven.
ton, to make the precious discovery that non.inter-
yention means noD-jntervention Of the people of
the Territories themselves with their own concerns
He has made speech on the subject, and prints
his discovery in capitals, to wit that the true hsr-
monizer Of all discords in Democratic ranks is the
adoption Of the doctrine of non-nteryention either
by Congress or by the people of the Territories,
and this astute proposition is approved by The
Journal Of Commerce. This he conceives to be
the true reading Of that clause Of the Kansas-Ne-
braska BILL which provides that tho people shall be
left perfectly free to establish their institutions in
their own way. Only let Congress do nothing, and
let the people do nothing, and then you see, says
the Doctor, everything come out all right. Moth
ing short of Doctor accustomed to deal with very
difficult cases could have been up to this prescrp-
ton. If this political Doctor will add one more
clause to his non-ntervention scheme, he would
make it still more perfect. Let him now stipulate
for non-intervention by Shareholders and then, per-
haps, we will give in our adhesion to the triple
creed.
We live in the hope that oil this quackery will
come to an end at Baltimore. Let the bogus De-
mOcracy agree upon something specific, and then
stand by it or burst. The country is sick Of their
cheating.

FRANCE AND GERMANY.

Although the English seem in some measure to
have got over their apprehensiOns of French In
vasion, the alarm in Germany as to the intentions
of Napoleon, by which the German Confederation
was 30 nearly precipitated into taking part in
the Italian war; still continues in full force. The
acquisition of Savoy by France gave new i'm
pulse 10 the apprehension that Napoleon is bent
upon territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. The Germans
are anxiously looking forward to some movement
on the part of Napoleon toward extending France
on the east to the Rhine. This state OF feeling is
equally apparent in the military attitude of the
Prussian Government, in the cautious unwilling
ness of the German merchants to extend their
business obligations, and in the spirit of the Ger
man Press. The idea has been started that if
Garbaldi should be successful in Sicily, and if that
island should in consequence be added to the King
dom of Sardinia, France would find in this in
crease of the dOminions of her Italian ally and
neighbor some pretense for claiming Belgium and
the left bank the Rhine. 1t is even apprehend-
ed that, not content with the left bank, preten-
sions may even be set up to all those tributaries
on the right bank which, at the close OF the last
century and the beginning of this, formed part
of the French dOminons.
The French journals affect to wonder at this
extreme state of excitabity and apprehension on
the part of their German neighbors. They boast
of their own GOODNESS and moderation. and call on
the German presses to initiate their example. The
real difference of the two cases is, however, appar-
ent. Francois not in the least danger from Germany
but that is much more than can be said of Ger
many in her relations to France. Hitherto Ger
many had guaranty against French aggression 10
the newness of Napoleon's authority, and in his
questionable title to the dominion upon which he
had seized. His late military successes have given
him hold upon both the army and nation which
removes all restraint ofthat sort, and which places
Germany's relations to France of character
unknown before in the present generation. In the
present FESTIVE state of Europe, it is felt that
great war may at any time break out, and the
Germans have but too much reason to apprehend
that, in any collision that might take place, they
would be the sufferers

sUNDAR.LAWg.

The outcry against the Republicans for en-
acting Sabbatarian laws may be doubly rendered
absurd by reference to legislation since the first
Constitution. In 1883, travelling servile labor and
sporting on Sunday were forbidden. The ensuing
year, a prohibition against the sale of spurious
liquor was added. In the revised laws of 1913,
similar provisions were enacted During the same
year. the Common Council of New York were EN-.
powered to pass Sunday ordinances; and accord
ingly the partywhich modern " Democrats insist
upon as being their predecessors in faith and good
works, enacted the stiHest sort of municipal by.
laws 90 the subject. Revisers of the statutes in
1929 prepared similar prohibitory provisions and a
Democratic" Legislature reenactei them. In
1889, under the stiff rule of Mayor Varian, the
Common Council resolved Ordinances of 1899, p.
254) that the Mayor, in concurrence with the Al
derman of each ward, might appoint Sunday
officers to keep the peace, and "to carry
" into full effect the laws of the State and
" ordinances of the Common Council for
" the due observance Of the first day of the week
commonly called Sunday" Half q dozen
years later, the Common Council passed the most
stringent Kind of ordinance prohibiting pistol-gal-
ery firing or any amusement with firearms on
Sunday, which still sur ives in the reenactments
of the present Connie Council page 23l of ordi.
nances Of 1857. There are probably many
Germans whose love of firearms is us great as
their love of lager beers and yet we would think
pistOlgaery firing in rear building, or in an out
of-tOwn garden, as harmless an amusement as il
permissiyey is on weekdays. During the first
reign of Fernando the First, he caused stringent
ordinance against the selling of lager beer on Sun
day to be passed (the first and only time that it
was ever mentioned in ordinance or statute), and
it is mooted point among lawyers whether the or
dnance is not still valid Nsr has the Oldest nhab-
liant forgotten the spasms Of virtue against Sunday
liquor-selng which affected that municipal Tycoon
during the Winter Of his first reign, and which
only ceased when the Legislature, whose police
supervision he feared, had adjourned
These few references are sufficient to show any
person that oil legislators, from 1893 to 1860,
whether Federalists, Democrats, Clintonians
Bucktails, Jackson men, or Republicans, have
merely obeyed traditional as well as current popu.
lar sentiment in checking that kind of traffic
which tends to promote turmoil and breaches of the
peace upon day regarded in all the civilized
world as n day of rest from ordinary labor
The novelty is not in the laws on the subject of
Sunday observance, but ia the bold defiance Of

Neither has any testimony been sdduced upon
which to base even . suspicion that other citizens
we're knowing to the plot in which Brown was
engaged. The whole scheme of the investigation,
which was to involve leading Frec-State men in
Browns invas on, thus falls to the ground. There
seems to have been no connecting link between
Browns band and Northern men anywhere. The
isolation seems to have been perfect. Not only
are DO Republicans implicated, but nobody ia i'm
plcAted. Brown seems to have carried his con-
ceptions in his head, and his Instruments Of e1ecu-
ton in his hands. Outside of the band he headed,
be appears to have relied wholly on the slaves
themselves. He trusted nobody with his plans
and nobody possessed of his secrets, go tar a.
the Committee Of Investigation have been able TO
discover, after a long, laborious and sweeping
inquiry.
Such are the conclusions of the Committee - to
the leading facts of the case. The report Of the
minority is comparatively brief yet full and COM
prehensive and marked with the great ability that
distinguishes all the productions of Judge Cola
mer, to whom, we presume its authorship belongs
The report of the majority aims to make little
political capital out of the case by general screcd
against the Free States for holding Anti-Slavery
doctrines but its means are slender and its efforts

1t seems rather premature to announce, as is gen.
orally DONE that Palermo is in the hands Of Carl
baldi. We trust it is before now, but the latest
news yet received hardly warrants that assertion.
II appears that early the morning of the 9th Of
May, Garbaldi attacked the north side Of the city,
and after six hours contest, kept up under
heavy bombardment from the castle and the Nea-
politan ships in the harbor, succeeded in penetra-
ting into it, the royal troops retiring to the castle,
the custom-house, the palace and other public
buildings. In the afternoon the struggle was re-
newed, and the palace was taken and buroed. But
the castle stil remained in the hands of the Nea-
politan troops. OF what occurred in the next three
days, we have no accounts 1t is stated that Carl
bald rtended to attack the castle the 18th, but
whether any attack was made, and if so, what was
the result, does not appear. The only further
statement is, that on the 3lst the bombardment of
the town by the castle and the shipping was still
kept up 1t would seem from this that, although
Garibaldi occupied certain part of the town, the
struggle for its possession was still going on. The
possession of the castle and of the harbor, whence
the city is exposed to bombardment, would still, in
military point of view, leave it in the power of
the NeapOlitans.

THE LATEST NEWS
RECEIVED BY
MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.



WASHINGTON, Thursday, June Is, 1860.
TREASURY ESTIMATES.
Mr.. Cobb estimates upon the revenue already
received that he will have balance in the Treasury
of about $5,0O0,O0O on the lst of July. But to
reach that figure large number of appropriations
are suspended or postponed.
The receipts for the current quarter have fallen
about S6, 900 below his calculation.
THE JOHN BROWN RAID.
The majority and minority reports of the Har.
pers Ferry Committee were presented to-day, and
ordered to be printed. Mr. Mason does not charge
that the John Brown raid extended beyond the
few persons actually implicated, as was originally
alleged, but he endeavOrs to demOnst ate that the
teachings of Aboltionists and fanatics have 90
excited and prejudced the Northern mind as to
extend the responsibility.
Dir. Collamer answers and explodes this reason
ing very effectively, as will be seen, by his clear
and conclusive report.
RELEASE OF MR.. HYATT.
The Senate have voluntarily released Mr.. Hyatt,
now that the Committee has concluded its UNI
profitable mission.
THE TEXAS REGIMENT.
The defeat ofthe Texas Regiment proposition, in
the House. may bs ascribed mainly to the search
ing and unanswerable presentation of facts made
pretexts upon which this expenditure was pro.
posed.
THE PACIFIC TELEGRAPH.
The House, by decisive majority, struck out
the eOrporators and privileges which the Senate at.
tached to the Pacific Telegraph bill. The Senate
will now recede and accept the amendment of the
House.
THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION
1t is understood that Mr.. Gushing will issue
tickets Of admission to the seceders at Charleston
in preference to other delegates claimiog to be
elected since then, which may bring the Conven-
ton to halt at the very start. This is an I'M
portant point and led to the exclusion of Wood
and his faction at Charleston. If they had once
obtained admission, they never would have been
got out, except when retiring with the Cotton
States.
The leading friends of Mr.. Douglas announce
that if the Georgia delegates are admitted at Balt-
more they will secede from the Convention, and
Immediately organize Independently. This threat
will not attract any support, and may repel it,
Ii the Convention should be regularly organized
Notwithstanding these obstacles, and both factions
agree to proceed to baotng, the Administration
will endeaycr TO concentrate on Breckenridge
His nomination, however is wholly impracticable,
while Kentucky maintains her preference for
Guthrie as expressed at Charleston, without
radical change OF opinion, no united nomination
need be anticipated. One side or the other must
completely surrender to achieve it.

Union square, which would contain her, and that
is opposite the City Hall Park, for nowhere else
is It wide enough. The Great Eastern has, % we
have said, q beam Of 81 feet increased by her
paddle. boxe, to ia feet The open space in the
park alone would admit Of her passage, and here,
while one paddle.boI touched the houses on one
side, the other would project "a feet into the Park
itself. Her huge bulk, thus more than filling the
whole street, reaching above the very tops OF the
buildings, would stretch its length from the lower
end of the Park about to Warren street, or one
eighth of mile. Within the ample dimensions
of her interior, she should accommodate more
guests than the eight or ten first-cIass hotels OF
this city, which range from 200 to 1000, and she
could receive with some comfort the entire popula-
ton, men, women, and children, Of very large
proportion Of the towns of this State.
She is undoubtedly sight worth seeing. In
England, nine months ago, the people Aocked to
visit her in tens of thousands, and had she made
then. successful voyage hither our countymen
would have shown the same enthusiasm. But the
enthusiasm she excited then was for an idea. 1t
was the gigantic conception, the supposed victory
over the elements, the improvement in science the
immense stride in mechanical appliances, and the
new triumph in commercial age and not the
mere fact that huge ship was afoat, that aroused
the intense interest she then excited. She has not
answered to this expectation and she sinks to the
level of remarkable exhibition. AT the Office door
of her proprietors in Tendon is the sign "THE
"GREAT SHIP" She is great in dimensions and
appliances, and great in the magnifcence of her
unfulflled promises, but in nothing else.

dience. The Sunday Mercury and Mayor Wood
might as logically assail the Democratic party and

the inquisitorial powers of the House may be d
rec'ed against every civil officer from the Presiden
