~ THE JOHN Brown INQUIRY. The inves-
tigation for the beboof Of democracy and its
hand.maid slavery, out Of which much political
capital was expected and promised, has come
to most ignoble close, morti(ying in its bar
renness, contemplate in its failures and expo
sure of its unwarrantabe assumptions, and
most impolitic, shortsighted, and damaging as a
provocation of counter Investigations which
have laid bare mass Of rottcnness and cor
ruption in the political kennel where these in
vestigations had their incubation, the authors
have no doubt often cursed the day that led
them to plant the seeds Of such harvest of
disappointment and infamy.
The report of Mr., Mason, the chairman OF
the committee, has been submitted, in which, he
is constrained to say that the raid was the of
spring Of the lawlessness and violence of Kan
sas, and that the evidence did not show par
ticipation beyond the actors in the movement.
Mr.. Hyatt, by vote of the Senate, has been re.
leased from his confinement, and all that remains
of this splendid scheme to save the union, is to
pay, with the peoples money the bills which
without scruple have been run up to an incrcdi'
Bile sum.

GS- "The World is the title assumed by the
new religious daily started in n. Y York, on the
18th inst. No. 8 of which, that of Saturday
the 10th has been sent US. 1t is of the size Of
the N. York Tribune, in quarto form, and quite
similar in its general appearance. Its articles bear
the stamp Of ability, but its choice of leading
topics, it strikes US, does not indicate the ready
appreciation, and tact that perfect familiarity
with public taste would naturally lead to, or
lelicitous seizure upon current thought which
marks the man of the day. which is so impor-
tant an element in the character of one who
caters to, or would successfully direct the sen
timents of the day. This however, is first
impression, which may be essentially modified
by further acquaintance. 1t, however fills
place which has much needed occupying, ve-
hicle Of news free from the taint of latitudiua-
rianism,-with a positive religious tone,-and
we hail its appearance with pleasure. We shall
be glad to place the World upon our exchange
list, and pay the difference for the daily on sight,
or by the publication of its prospectus. The
following article, from its columns, we copy as
an index Of its position on slavery.
The great hullabaloo about John Browns
invasion has at length died out, and we
shall presently listen to its last echoes in
the fiual comments Of the newspapers on
the reports made in the Senate yesterday
John Brown was poor misguided fanatic,
and none but equally misguided zealots
abetted his foolhardy attempt at Harper's
Ferry, for which he paid SO dearly. This
investigation was got up merely for polite
al effect, and truth constrains us to say
that it has failed of its object. The com.
mittee did not summon Gov. Wise who
publicly averred that he knew so much that
was horrible and atrocious ; but thought
it worth while to arrest a quiet Massachu-
setts schoolmaster, who foiled them, and to
keep q contumacious and conceited block
head, who probably had nothing to tell, in
jail for some months for refusing to tell
that nothing. This man Hyatt was dis.
charged, as contumacious as ever, aud
doubtless gloryfying in his contumacy, and
with the majority and minority reports oi
the Committee OF investigation, this farce,
which, on the raising of the curtain, pur-
ported to be tragedy, ends.

SHOCKING MURDER.-The Cleveland Plain
Dealer describes shocking murder which oc-
CURED at Hudson, Ohio, on Saturday evening.
The parties had been together during Saturday
with every appearance Of friendly feeling:
In the course Of the day, some one ask.
ed Staples if he we're not afraid Mulony
would injure or kill him? Staples replied
that be was not, as they had made up their
differences and were now good friends.
Nothing worthy of notice passed between
the two until about 10 O'clock. Staples
was walking with two girls on College st e.,
and observed that Mnllony was following
them. When near the residence of the
President, MulIony came up and dealt Stap-
les O terrible blow with huge club upon
the head. He then struck him again over
the eyes. Staples fell to the ground-dead,
the first blow having, as is supposed, been
a fatal one. The wretch attempted to deal
another blow, while Staples lay dead upon
the ground, but the brave girls, after des-
perate struggle, succeeded in driving him
away.
One Of the girls remained by the body
while the other sought help, which she soon
obtained. The body was conveyed to the
house Of some friend of the deceased. or
hcers BOsworth and Croy intercepted the
night coal train and went thereon to Mace
donla station, and there found Mullony
snugly in bed. They took him into custo-
dy and carried him to Hudson, where be
was exam nd and committed.

The Louisville Journal, though committed
to the support Of another candidate, can yet
appreciate the worth and character Of eurs--
1t says Of Mr.. LINCOLN;
"Mr. l.. is q genial, delightful and high
toned gentleman, whose pleasant hospitality
we have enjoyed and, although we think
him in great error in some OF his political
opinions we have as much confidence in his
patriotism as we have in any man except
ourselVes--we being the only persons that
we can knt0 to be patriots.
"If Lincoln and Douglas we're the only
candidates in the pending contest, we should
decide no doubt to take no part between
them, and yet we believe that Lincoln is q
more honest, and straightforward politician
aud man than Douglas, and that he would
act as President with a sincerer regard for
the purity of the government and the well
fare of the nation"

ready to report, Adjourned.
II was rumored that the delay Of the Com
mittee was intended TO embarrass the Seceders
who adjourned to meet on the 2lst 10 Richmond.
Il is also stated that the reported threatened
withdrawal Of the Douglas delegates is in
correct.
Some Of the Southern Seceders have proposed
TO Dean Richmond Chairman Of the New ork
delegation to drop all the candidates voted for
a. Charleston, but it was thought the overture
would not be accepted
II is stated that there will be two reports
from the Credential Committee. The vote on
the case Of the Mississippi delegation stood
nine for exclusion and fifteen for admission
There are no contestants from Mississippi, the
delegates being accredited both to Richmond and
Baltimore. This was the point at issue.
A majority Of the Committee is claimed by
the Dougasitcs They also claim that all the
contestng Southern delegates on their side vii
be admitted, and concede that in the cases o
Florida, Mississippi and Texas, where there art
no contestants, the Seceders must come in.
The SOceders on the other hand, are quite ai
certain, that through the aid Of New York they
will ultimately get into the Convention and de
feat Douglass His defeat or break up, seem
to be regarded as certain at Baltimore.

MURDER OF MIssIOEARIEs.-A letter from

Zone of the most deplorabIe events that

Pantagonia. The Pantagonian Missionary
Society has taken one of the Islands east
OF Terra del Fuego by lease, and they
occupy 1t as their capital, while they en-.

Patagonia. A short time ago the mission
ship Allan Gardner was on the coast. and
the catechist aud Captain Fell, who was a
Baptist preacher, and six of the crew. be.

about two hundred Indians, and all were

The CATTLE DISEASE IN CANADA.-We regret
to learn that disease, supposed to be peuro
pneumonia, has broken out in the township Of
Huntingdon, Canada East, and that several cat
tie have already died of it. Huntingdon is one
Of the townships upon the south side Of the
St. Lawrence, bordering on the State of New
York, and is celebrated for dairy produce. The
spread of the disease through that and the 9th
sr townships would be a calamity disastrous to
the farmers, aud seriously detrimental to the
whole country.

PEAR AND APPLE BLIGHT--Many apple
and pear trees, at the present time present
the appearance of blight-the apples. by
having number of the terminal branches
or twigs wither and die, and the pears, one
or more branches of larger size. This is
not the result Of new blight, but Of the
fatal one of last year. Last years wood
was more or less dseased-the bark killed,
for example, at point below the still liy'
ing buds. These buds had vigor enough
left to start and grow, bat the injury was
great and extensive, and death ensued from
the final drying up and stoppage of the sap
vessels connecting the young branches with
the trunk. We do not think that this
blight will spread over the tree, like that
of last year, but the dead limbs should be
cleanly amputated.
The present month is about the best time
to wash apple and pear tree bodies and
limbs for the destruction Of insects, and the
sooner it is done tho better. Take weak
lye, and mix -four Of sulphur with it, SO that
it is about as thick as ordinary whitewash !
then with hard brush wash thoroughly
the bodies, aud all large limbs. The result
will be to destroy insects, and give fresh
life and Vigor Of growth to the tree.

A GRIsT TO GRIND.-If time allowed, and
additional facts were desired to add to the
damnable record of the investigation, the
COvode Committee might be profitably
employed digging out the corruptions of
the Charleston convention. But as this
cannot be, we may take the testimony of
the Douglas men of the northwest, who,
being penitent and mad, just now, are tell
ing truth at an appalling rate. 1t appears
that Senator Rice first fixed" the Mime
sofa delegation against Douglas, and then
clinchcd the arrangement by the destribu.
tion Of fat jobs. Thus, one A. NJ. Fridley,
a delegate, who is interested in grist mill
OF Belle Plains, above St. Paul, got con.
tract to grind 5000 barrels of -four for the
Indian agency, at SIS, go barrel, or totOl
of $4,000, only that portion Of the -four
intended for the officers and agents being
required to pass inspection, the rest could
be Of on inferior quality, such as flour made
from middlings." The parties expected 10
make $4,000 or $40, 900 by the operation ;
but some quarrel having garrison as to title
to the mill property, private referee trial
was agreed upon, before leading Democrat,

Interpretation OF the law.
OFFICIAL FIDELITY.-The popular branch
Of Congress, the House of Representatives,
a few days since passed vote of censure
upon the President by vote Of l2O to 81
some of the democracy voted for il. This
is an indication of the sense of the peoples
representatives of the corruption which per-
vades the present Administration. The
House felt called upon to take this step
only after the most pressing provocation.
The resolutions as adopted declares the
Secretary of the Navy has with the sane.
tion of the President, abused his discretion.
ary power in the selection OF coal agent,
and for the purchase Of fuel for the Govern
ment /; that contract with W. G. NJ.
Swift for live oak timber in 1858, was in vi
olation of law that the distribution Of the
patronage of the Navy Yard among mem
bers Of Congress is destructive of discipline
and injurious to the public service that the
President and Secretary of the Navy, in con-
sidering the party relation of bidders and
the bad effect of awarding contracts pend
ing elections, are deserving of the reproba-
tion of this House that the selection Of
Daniel H. Martin, a member of the Board
of Engineers, to report on proposals for the
construction of machinery, he being person.
ally interested therein, is hereby censured by
this House.
Such vote in England would cause the
immediate resignation of the Ministry, but
the mamiferous democracy never let go the
treasury dug, however damning the popular
verdict upon its shameless unworthiness.
