Bag~ On the teport of Mr.. Mason, Chair
man o f the Special Committee on the
HarperS Ferry InSurrccton, THADDEUS HYATT
was Thursday released from the custody in
which, for some time past, he has been held
tor refusing testify before the Committee. In
connection with this proceeding, MIR. SUMNER
spoke at some length, vindicating liberty of
conscience, and justfying Mr.. HYATT'S course.
The Majority and Minority Committees oa the
JohnBrown Insurrection made their report. The
Tariff bill was then taken up and was strongly
opposed by Mr.. HUNTER, who argued that no
change in the present tariff was necessary, as
it afforded sufficient revenue for the economical
support of the Government, and the extiuguish-
ment of the public debt. Mr.. SEWARD spoke
at length on the subject, and strongly advocat-
ed the bill and its immediate consideration
To postpone it to the next session, he said,
would be to postpone it indefinitely. The argu
mentS for postponng it were so weak as to
show manifest disposition to avoid the whole
subject BY vote Of 25 against 23, further
consideration of the bill was postponed. The
Army Appropriation bill was taken up, and
some of the House amendments agreed to-
The Overland Telegraph bill, already passed
by the House, was concurred III by the Senate.
In the House the proceedings were not Of
much Importance. The request Of the Senate
for another Committee Of Conference on the
Homestead bill was acceded to.

IHE HOMESTEAD BILL-After several nrrt.
Ings OF the Committee of Conference ON The
dlsagreelng votes of the Senate and House OH
the Homestead Bill, and great deal of dis.
cusslon on the various propositions, the Com
mlttee reported that they were utterly unable
to agree, and asked for their discharge. Thus
ends the matter for the present The friends of
the Homestead bill know upon whom the blame
rests. The Republicans of the Senate and
House have done best 10 secure the passage
OF this benehcent measure, aud the democracy
has effeetUaiiy prevented them. The triuuseh
of LINCOLN alone can secure the success Of a
measure to which the people Of the free North
are so much attached.

THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.

The Baltimore Convention which meet on
Monday. spent the first day of its session in a
bitter wrangle upon proposition to admit to
fellowship again those delegates who seeded
at Charleston. Mr.. Sanford E. Church of the
Newly ork delegation made a proposition re-
quiring all who were admitted to seats in the
Convention to abide by the nomination made.
This "test oath, as It was called, excited a
fresh outburSt of rancor.
A special despatch TO the New York papers,
Tuesday, at o'clock, says that " Mr. DoUG-
LAS is undoubtedly beaten, and the chances
now appear to favor a union upon HoRATIo
SEYMOUR, of New York"
The feeling is intense and bitter, and the
breech seems wider than at the adjournment
at Charleston New York seems to have con-
troll of the Convention and votes steadily with
the South, though it is claimed her vote would
be east for DOUGLAS nomination.

which is not of special interest, to the 25tb

that in relation to the attack upon Prince

about week prior to the date of the news
Prince GorAIRo, while IN his way from bis resi-.

eighteen, and six Of the guard and four Of the

which, if successful, will result in the expulsion
and death of all foreigners.

~ The peopIe in Kansas are tbirs

Rsg~ The people in Kansas are thirsty, and
with good reason. That blessed boon OF
Heaven, 1" the rain, the FLASHING rain" of which
we sometimes get too much here, has not been
vouchsafed to our kinsfolk in that Territory
for day after day, and week after week, as
our correspondent informs us, while the
thermometer ranges from 90 degree to 90 de-
grees nor has any dew fallen upon the tender
herb. For fifteen years, the Indians say moth
ing like it was ever known before. And the
drought, bad as it is in itself bespeaks fear
ful famine. Corn, potatoes, all the roofs and
fruits of the earth, are in the worst possible
condition Crops of all kinds are in serious
risk of utter failure

THE CovoDE CCMmrrEE-Much has been
said in regard to the expenses of the Covode
Committee They have been in session three
months, and have examined about one hun
dred witnesses Their whole cost, with mile
age, does not exceed s., 800. As an offset to
this, the Committee has done an immense deal
of good 10 exposing the frauds and rascalites
of the Locofoco politicians, which in no other
way could have been brought before the public
and the value of which cannot be measured
in dollars and cents: The developements it
has made will contribute largely to the defeat
of the corrupt party in power, and that is a
result worth many thousand times the paltry
sum named as the cost Of this investigation.

formed that the Sunbury and Erie Railroad
Company will run their own road from Sun
bury to Whetam, distance of eighty-three
miles on and after the first day of Jaly next
The intention of the company is not to furn-
ish the rolling stock, but merely to supply the
motive power wherewith to haul the cars of
the Northern Central Railroad Company. At
Lock Haven commodious machine shops and
depots have been erected. A sufficient mum
ber of Locomotives are now building to accom-
modate the traffic The portion of the Sun
bury and Erie Railroad between Lcck Haven
and Sunbury is in excellent order The west
ern division, under the superintendance of
Samuel A Black, Esq, has been in efficient
operation since the first of the year. and is
doing a heavy freight business from the oil
region of Pennsylvania. On the first of July
next, the Sunhury and Erie Company will
have one hundred and forty-nine miles of their
own road in use, and with upwards of ten
miles additional almost in working order.

announces that Judge REBIER, in the Court Of
Common Pleas, has overruled the motion for a
new trial of the case of CARsTANG against SHAW.
This is the great breach of promise case, in

verdict of 800, 900 damages. A second trial,
which was applied for and obtained by the de-
fendant, resulted in reversal of the former
verdict and now, the motion for a new trial,
made by the plaintiff, has been denied.

Hon. JOHN GALBRAITH, formerly Repre-
sentative in Congress from the Erie District,
and for several years President Judge of the
Courts of Erie, Crawford and Warren counties,
died very suddenly yesterday at his residence
in Erie He served in Congress from 1888 to
1887, and again from 1889 to lS4l, and oceu-
pied high position as an intelligent and sag
acious representative AS learned, upright
aud impartial jurist, few men ever enjoyed a
larger share of public confidence. For the
last couple OF years Judge GALBRArH had
given up almost his entire time to the establish
ment of an Industrial Reform School for the
instruction and reformation of the destitute
and criminal, and with liberal act of incor.
poration procured in 1852 mainly through bis
efforts, the institution was in fair way of sue
eessful Inauguration, farm of several hun
dred acres in Western Pennsylvania having
already been purchased for its location.

pa- BY the arrival Sunday evening of the
Bohemian at Farther Point, from Liverpool
on the 9Th inst, and Londonderry on the 7th,
we have three days later intelligence from
Europe 1t is of considerable importance. -
The reports concerning GARIBALDI and the
bombar(ment of Palermo are as usual conflict
ing. According to some advices, the lombard
ment still continued, while others describe
GARIBALDI as having stormed the citadel, after
the capture of portion Of the Nearolitan
artillery. Subsequent accounts state that on
proposition of General LAMA, commander
Of the royal troops, an armiStice bad been con-
cluded, GARIBALDI demanding that the Nea-
politan army should evacuate Palermo. This
would seem to be true, as still later advices
from Naples represent the King as refusing
the conditions, the recommencement of hoStil-
tiles being close ut hand. Later dispatches
still state that the bombardment had commenc
ed, while telegram from Palermo, of the Sd,
announces that the armistice still continued
that GARIRALDI was master of the town, but
that the Neapolitan troops held the forts -
Letters from the French squadron say that
GANBALDI was compelled to grant through a
failure of ammunition Officers from the Sar.
diDian army were ahout to join them. From
England we learn that the Post Office authori
ties had notified the Company of the Galway
Line that services on the mail contract were
to commence on the Goth inst, for New York
and on the 10th of July for Boston. The Com.
pany were to hold an extraordinary meeting,
to borrow money. In the House of Commons
Mr.. GLADSTONE stated that 9500,000 more
would be wanted for the expenses of the China
war Lord John RUSSELL denied that it was
the intention of the Government to postpone
the Reform bill until next session. 70 CON-
mercial matters there was q slight decline in
cotton, with an advance in -four and wheat,
owing to the unfavorable state Of the weather

Bs% The House of Representatives has
done the handsome thing in ejecsing Mr.. Bar
rett and admitting Mr. Blair as the member
from the ST. Louis district Mr. Blair was IN
Goubtedly fairly elected by the people, but was
defrauded of the return by a resort to che
tricks so well known and so often practiced by
the administration democracy. Justice has at
last been done. by admitting him to his seat,
and Mr. Barrett has leave to keep company,
out in the cold, with Cooper, who was lately
ousted from a seat for the Detroit district OBJ,

Gag~ The charge of fraud in the election Of
Hon. George W.Scranton, of the Luzerne dis
trct, has been effectually disposed of Mr..
Winsow, of North Carolina, who insisted on
an investigation before the Coyode Committee
after the examination of several witnesses, be-
came disguSted with the whole proceedings, and
refused to take more testimony, acknowledg-
ing that he had been imposed upon. Among
the witnesses examined were the Hon George
Sanderson, Democrat, OF Scranton, who testii-
ed that he knew of no money having been
used to further Mr.. Scranton'S election, but
that the great change in that district was
caused by the disaffection which prevailed
among the Democracy towards the present
Administration, and by the high character and
popularity of Mr. Scranton among all classes;
j. II. Puleston who testified that he accom-
panied Mr. Scranton thro' the greater part OF
the canvass of 1858, and that no money was
improperly used to his knowledge, nor any
improper means, to advance his election DIR.
Davis, editor of the Scrdnton Herald, a Dem
ocratic paper, who testified that he supported
Mr. Scranton in opposition to the regular DenI-
ocratic nominee, because of his fitness and de-
voton to the best interests of the People Of
his District, and that he received no pecuniary
consideration for these services Others, in
cluding Mr.. Brisbin, formerly Democratic
Member of Congress, were present anxious to
testify in Mr. Scranton's behalf, but further
testimony was declared Unnecessary.
D. S. Koon, lawyer, residing at Pttston,
who preferred the charges, knew nothing be-
yond vague statements, and upon the examina-
ton of Dr. Puleston in reply, was unceremon-
ously dismissed as unworthy of notice. The
Committee, of which Mr. WinSlow is a memb-
er, unanimously ordered that Mr.. K Koon should
not receive either mileage or fees but Mr..
Scranton very generously directed his return
ing expenses paid, Notwithstanding bis base
aspersions.
This experiment has cost about $1,000
When the investigation was proposed, Mr..
Covode protested against calling witnesses
without specific information, but Mr.. WnSlow
appealed to the House aud obtained the order.

THE LATE Destructive TORNADO AT THE
WEST, according to the calculation of the
Chicago Tribune, swept over the space of four
hundred and fifty males, without diminution of
force, shifting towns, farms, forests, and every
thing on the surface of the earth with appall-
ing violence ald destruction. Towns were laid
low, aud whole forests crushed in an instant,
and large streams of water literally scooped out
by the mighty tempest. The course of the
tornado is now traced from Fort Dodge,
Webster county, Iowa, more than two hun
dred miles west of the Mississippi river, to the
northeastern corner of Ottowa county, Michigan.
Nor is 1t at all probable that the entire range
of devastation is yet known, though its direc-
ton at both extremities leads us to hope that
however far it may have travelled, it did not
involve much more destruction of human life
than is already known The time occupied
by the tempest in making the entire distance
cannot yet be currently estimated. We know
merely that it swept over Webster county,
Iowa, on Sunday afternoon, and Ottowa county
Michigan, on Sunday night.
