FROM WASHINGTON.

In the Senate, on Monday last, Mr..
Mason presented the return Of United
States Marshal johnson on the warrant
for the arrest Of John Brown, Jr., in
Ohio. The return states that it is i'm
possible to arrest Brown, unless an
armed force is employed for that pur-
pose.
Mr.. Mason also presented the return
on the writ for the arrest of T, B. San
born, which recapitulates the facts as
stated heretofore, and states that no ar
rest can be made, owing to the judicial
proceedings of the State of Massachu-
setts. Both warrants and returns were
referred to the Committee on Judiciary,
with instructions to inquire and report
if any further proceedings were neces-
sary to vindicate the authority of the
Senate, and to effect the arrest of the
witnesses.
Mr.. Sumner moved to refer the me-
mortal of Mr.. Sanborn to the same Com
mittee.
Mr.. Mason moved that it be rejected.
Mr.. Sumner said he felt it to be his
duty to protest against such a sugges-
ton. 1t was related of one of the
Judges of He'll, that he punished first
and heard afterward. The Senator from
Virginia had taken that as his precedent.
Mr.. Mason said that the Senator had
used language in making opposition to
motion, that so far as his intercourse
with gentlemen went, he had never heard
used ontside of the Senate. He would
not take it as personally offensive. The
Senate is the best judge of what was due
to its decorum. .. ..... --r- F. ..
Mr.. Sumner said the Senator from
Virginia, in his self-confdence, had un-
dertaken to lecture him on manners. In
reply he would say that when any out
rage comes before the Senate he should
speak of it as it deserved, and if any
precedent from bad place should apply,
he should not hesitate to use it.
Mr.. Mason briefly replied, but his re-
marks were inaudible.
Without disposing of the matter, the
special order came up, being Mr..
Browns Territorial resolutions.

THE HOMESTEAD BILL,

Our readers are aware that the House
of Representatives of the United States
has passed a Homestead Bill, which
gives to every citizen of the United States,
or person who has declared his intention
to become such, the right to locate on
16O acres of vacant land in any of the
unsold public domain, and guarantees to
him title to the same after five years
occupancy and improvement. This bill
is fercely opposed by the shareholders,
who contend that under its operation
the German and other foreign emigrants,
together with free laborers of this country,
will rush, into the Territories, in such
numbers as to make slavery impossible
in any of them. r
1t was thought that the Senate, which
has majority of Democrats, could be
relied upon to kill the bill. But Dem
ocratic Senators from the free States are
afraid to face their constituents after vo
ting against SO benifcent measure
They think it will hardly be safe to
the party, for Northern Senators to vote
directly to crush out free labor for the
sake of filling the Territories with slaves.
But as the Shareholders demand the de-
feat Of the bill, it must be defeated OF
course The object is to do it in such a
way as to do the least damage to the
party. Letter writer's from Washington
now say that it is agreed that such North
ern Democratic Senators as choose to dc
SO, may vote for the bill to save the party
in the Free States, while the President will
veto it if it is passed.
In this way it is thought the party
can be saved. Northern Democratic Sen
ators voting for the bill to catch Northern
dupes, and the Democratic President We
toing it to satisfy the Southern slave
drivers! Such is the consistency of tn,
great party eT

Fatal Conflict with Runaway negro.

Fatal Conflict with Runaway Negro.
The Montgomery, tAla.) Mail con-
tains the following:
This morning we learned that a runa-
way negro belonging to Robert Ware,
was found at the ''Gin House" of Mr.
Charles H. Motion, in this county
Messrs Motion and Ware, and the latter
gertlemans overseer, (whose name we
have not heard attempted to arrest the
negro, who, armed with scythe- blade
and pistol, fred the latter, the ball strik-
ing Mr. Motion in the forehead and in
ficting serious though not dangerous
wound. Mr.. Ware and his overseer, it
is stated, then fred upon the negro, kill
ing him instantly. The coroner was i'm
med lately sent for, and the inquest will
probably be held this afternoon.

am- The New Y ork Heralds Washing

ton correspondent writes:
The candidates for the Baltimore nom
nation are reduced to four. The only
names now prominent are Messrs
Mclean, of Ohio, Bolts, of Virginia,
Crittenden, of Kentucky, and Bell, OF
Tennessee.
Mr.. Douglas friends have been con-
centrated here for about two weeks, talk
ing up their favorite, and making all the
Buncombe capital for him possible. The
appearance here of genuine delegates,
who are to settle the question at Charles
ton, expressing sentiments in favor of
other candidates besides Douglas, has
the tendency to make the friends of the
ssLittle Giant wilt. There prevails a
deep feeling among some of the leading
men who have been here and are now
here, that if Douglas should be nomina-
ted at Charleston, he would cheat the
North in his administration, just as he
did the South on Leeompton.

An Exciting Trial

An Exciting Trial.
VIM. H. Burkley was tried in King
and Queen county, Virginia, on the 18th
inst, for shooting and killing Jos.
Broach. A letter to the Richmond En-
quirer says the charge was admitted, and
justified upon the plea that Broach had
wilfully and maliciously slandered his
daughter, young lady still in her teens
and at school. The Court, after hear
ing the evidence, without argument from
counsel, discharged the prisoner, who is
one of the most respectable citizens sof
the county. The trial created intense
excitement, and when the verdict was
announced the whole crowd of spectators
rose to their feet and gave vent to the
most hearty appreciation. s~-

Senatorial Gaucheries.

The Senate ought, for it's own sake,
to make some Constitutional disposition
Of Wigfall, of Texas, whose escapades
are fast ceasing to be even amusing
His last was a personal and tolerably
vulgar allusion to Lord Lyons by name,
as conversing with the "Republican
Platform" {" meaning Mr.. Seward, on one
of the sofas of the Senate, which caused
the Minister to leave the chamber i'm
mediately. 1t is of course far too late
to teach Wigfall manners, but the Sen
ate is fully competent to teach him to
respect its own usage-one of which is,
not to allude either to Senators or stran-
gers by name; and foreign ministers are
certainly peculiarly entitled to the ben
eft of them If Wigfall is candid-and
all brave men are reputed to be so--he
will himself be the first to acknowledge
that his ordinary behavior in public is
exceedingly bad, and that his colleagues
should take some steps to mend it, either
by stopping his grog or otherwise.-N.

THE CHARLESTON CONVENTION
COMBINATION BETWEEN HUNTER
AND DOUGLAS.

THE CHARLESTON CONVENTION
COMBINATION BETWEEN HUNTER
AND DOUGLAS.
The Telegraphic correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette of the 9th inst. says
GAS the Charleston Convention ap-
'proaches the excitement increases, and
the efforts to make friends for this and
that candidate are pressed with vigor.-
There is talk of an understanding be-
tween Hunter and Douglas, which, if il
should prove correct, and be known to
the public, will blow up both individuals
sky high. Hunter friends are generally
the Ultra Pro Slavery men of the South,
who are fercely opposed to Douglas, and
who would resent such condition as an
abandonment of them and their cause
by Hunter The Douglas men are very
confident of late, and claim 159 votes on
the first ballot, but in this calculation
they put down 10 of the 16 delegates
from Maryland, which 1 know to be an
error. One delegate from Baltimore
whom they thought they had sure, is of
the track, and won't support the Giant. .
Would it not be nice arrangement
for these representatives of "slave-code
centralism" and "Squatter sovereignty
Hunter and Douglas-to enter into a
coalition by which one sells out to the
other at the Charleston Convention this
year, in consideration that he is to be
insured the nomination four years hence:
There is one difficulty, however, in the
way of consummating the bargain. The
people may possibly choose to have some
thing to say in the matter. Whatever
may be the result of the election in No
vember next, no one who has any faitf
in the intelligence of the people, doubt:
the success of the Republicans in 1864
This will create difficulty between the
contracting parties. For, while there il
possibility of the success Of the Demo
cratic nominee this year, and none foul
years hence, neither Hunter nor Douglas
will be willing to have his claims post
poned, which may cause failure in th'
programme It will be interesting a
least to watch the progress Of events
Possibly the fight between these twC
champions may lead to the rejection o
both. Ifso, who will be the chosen O
the factions? Time will tell.

himself in speech recently delivered
by him in New York, in reply to the
great speech of Senator Seward, recently
delivered in the U. S. Senate. Mr..
Phillips said:
81 would rather see Democratic
President. Loud laughter. And [
will tell you why. IF there is Re
publican President elected in 1860, you
will all be looking to the Administra-
ton. You will all be waiting to see
what law can do-what Liberty fettered
can do against slavery unbound. Agita-
