The SOUTHERN PRoGRAMME.-In the
House of Representatives on Thursday,
the consideration of Mr.. Grows bill for
the organization of the new territory of
Idaho, Mr.. Clark of Missouri, gave notice
of an amendment prohibiting the terrific
rial Legislature from exercising authority
on the subject of slavery, either to intro
duce or forbid it. Subsequently Mr.. Gas
trel wished to offered similar amendment
to each of the five bills for organization
of new territories. Even swindling "squat-
ter sovereignty" is at a discount among
the democracy, and the slave code platform
is in the ascendant. r7a

.ORGANIENe New TERRiroRrEs.-The House
of Representatives of the U. States on Friday
last, took an extraordinary course in relation to
the Territories. The bills organizing five new
Territories, in some of which organization is
impentively needed, reported by Mr. Grow
from the Territorial Committee, were successive-
ly tabled by Democratic votes, apparently un-
der the lead of Mr.. Thayer of Massachusetts, a
Republican. Such opposition from the South
ern side Of the House is easily understood; but
the constituents of Republican members expect
their representatives to meet the question of the
prohibition of Slavery in the Territoriee with
out shrinking, and to give to the people of those
regions the projections they demand and require
The Pixies Peak country especially is in great
need of an organized Government, and should
not be left longer without it. 1t is easier to
meet the difficulties of the case now than it will
be by and by, and the House will not be held
blameless if from any undergraduates or
ueaehery, it fails to take firm stand at the
outset on the great principle for which the Re :
publican party has been SO long struggling, and
upon which il is based,

ALARM AMONG ENGLISH MERCHANTS IN
CHINA. are some appearances IN
China of the traders being somewhat
alarmed at the preparations now NOV.
inc to and fro for the coming war, and
there is no doubt that business in imports,
at least, will be affected for the next few
months. In exports of tea and silk the
check will not be so soon felt; but if war
is decided on, we anticipate the stoppage
will be to a greater extent than during the
last war. There is, however, nothing to
indicate hostile feeling toward Foreigners
at any of the open ports. AT Japan bust
ness continues to be almost at a stand.-

amount of iron thus far used on the dome
at the new Capitol at Washington is about
100000 lbs, TO complies the first section
will require 100000 pounds additional,
making total of 100000. The total
weight of iron for the whole dome will
be about 100000 pounds. This great
weight will only be about so pounds to
the square inch, in the thickness of the

One. of the Georgia delegates, Mr.. folden,
who remained IN the doughface Convention af-
ter the bolt, bcastingly declared that he had on
his plantation 'negroes direct from Africa =
This shameless admission that he had been en-
gagad in a traffic declared to be piracy by the
laws of the country, was made in the face ofthe
Northern half of the pro-slavery Convention,
and no Douglas man will think any the less of
the pirate delegate for the confession. What
all civilized nations consider infamous and wor-
thy of death, they thus approve,

Tricks OF THE TRADE.-The 'chivalry
are not entirely free from some of the little
peccadiIloes which they are wont to speak
of as characteristic only of the ''close fs-
ted farmers" and "greasy mechanics" of the
North. A correspondent of the Charles
ton News writes as follows:
1t will be recollected that before the as
sembling of the Charleston Convention,
the Railroad companies on the Northern
lines required delegates to pay only one
way. Many of the delegates from the
Southwest and South came over the Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Georgia and South Car
olina Railroads, believing that they would
certainly be as liberal as the Northern
roads, but it turns out differently, now that
they have US in Charleston. Now they
issue card stating that there was some
misunderstanding about the matter, and
absolutely refuse to extend that liberality
evinced by the Northern roads.
The South in future should cease 10
talk about Yankee tricks, for they have
both on the railroads and in the hotels ex-
hibited spirit of extortion and meanness
that would disgrace any country.

The Cincinnati Gazette gives the follow
ing account Of a singular occurrence in
that city on Tuesday night last:
A German named Gaterleth has been,
until the past few days, living in Green
county, Ind, and came to this city in search
of employment. Four hundred and fifty
dollars hadsbeen intrusted to him for the
purpose of delivery to certain parties re-
siding here. When Gaterleth arrived in
town he stopped al q house on Front
street, near Butler, and with the money
upon his person he left the house last even
ing, contrary to the advice of a friend, for
the purpose going to theater. The next
seen of him was on the square, lying on
the pavement in a senseless condition,
rendered so from the effects of wound
on the left temple and stab in the right
side. The truth flashed upon his friend in
a minute, and feeling for the wallet which
contained the money, discovered it gone.
His friend then hailed an express wagon
and preparing litter, ordered the driver
TO convey the wounded man to the Com
mercial Hospital, promising to follow him
self quickly as possible. But when the
friend of Gaterleth reached the Hospital,
he was surprised to learn that nothing had
been seen either of the patient or of the
express wagon. Search was instituted,
but up to IL o'clock nothing could be leara-
ed concerning his whereabouts, or what
disposition had been made of him.

ANOTHER TRACT NEEDED.-Some time

entitled "Douglas an enemy 10 the North. )"
1t was circulated at the South to help
Douglas for the Charleston Convention
AS his only hope is now in the North, he
would do well to get up another tract en-
titled douglas an enemy to the South.
He will then appear as he is, an enemy to
both sections.

The Difference.

1t was truly a most unmerctul "snub-
bing" that the Southern Fire Eaters gave
the Northern delegates at Charleston
The latter were ready and willing to seat
the dirt anxious TO do so, and secure the
aid of their allies in the race for power
but they wished to do it in a left hand
way. Their powers of nice distinction are
wonderful, and they discovered that their
way of doing the thing was ."tweedleum, y
and that of the South was 'tweedledee. .
Therefore teey proposed a "you-tickle me
and l'll-tickle yon" arrangement. These
are the two platforms:

The Northern Democrats were willing
to tickle the Slave power by doing as the
latter dictated, but they wished TO be tick
led in turn by being allowed to do it in
their own way. The south demanded a
pledge of obedience at the time, but the
Northeners wished to evade this by prom
ising obedience to the dictates of Chief JUS
tico Taney, which would in fact be the
same thing.-Leader. .f n

rno PresIdent,s Protest.

1t appears that the President and his
friends are not at all pleased with the evil
dence published by Mr.. Covode in connec-
ton with his report recently submitted to
Congress. A Washington letter contains
the following paragraph
Ii is considered somewhat remarkable
that the President never protested against
the scope OF the investigation by the
House until he read the testimony given
before Mcssrs. Haskin's and Cuvode'S Com
mittee All the evidence thus far which.
in any way, duplicates him with a privity
to the use of money in elections, and the
distribution Of patronage with that object,
was reluctantly cxtortcd from his own pO-
litical friends. and from persons who en-
joyed his confidence and intimacy. Some
of them have openly boosted of not tell
ing half they knew, and others testified
with mental reservations. The charges
made by the Administration organs, that
Mr.. Covode's Commute were investigating
without specific aim, are false. Thus far
they have addressed themselves exclusive
| " to the allegations contained in the Pres
/ ident's Pittsburgh letter, and find them
/ fully sustained by the corruptions of his
( own Administration, Anonymous letters
have been addressed to Mr.. Coyode.
/ threatening him and Mr.. Sherman with
assassination, unless they deSiSt from
I these inquiries.
