A letter from Springfield. Ill, dated the
5th, to the Chicago Tribune, says:
The topic here to day has been the danger
which IL said to threaten Washington before
the day OF inauguration. Letters from 70
sponsible and well-informed persons there
say that Mr.. Breck inridge has declared that
he will count the electoral votes on the day
designated by law in spite of all opposition,
but the same letters report a conversation of
Douglas wherein be expressed the belief that
without instant and energetic measures the
CITY will soon be in the hands OF mob, and
all the Northern Senators and Representa-.
tives driven off. 1t is currently reported, too,
that ex- Gov. Matteson has letter from Gov.
Letcher, of Virginia, in which he says that
Mr.. Lincoln will never be able TO be inaugu-
rated in Washington. Another letter de.
clares that the Federal Supreme Court ia
unanimo 10 condemnation OF the secession
movement, and that Judge fancy has said
that be will administer the oath tc Mr.. Lin
colin if he is Obliged to 60 to Springfield to
do it. That such letters have been received
in quarters where they would most naturally
be sent lie certain.

cTDouglss, in his speech, held the Re-
publicans responsible for the action OF the
secessionists. 90 tue same principle, the
Douglasites are responsible for the disrup-.
ticn Of the Democratic party at Charleston,
and the resulting events, even to the seees-
sien of South Gurolina. Had they not op
posed the Lecampton Constitution and in
sisted on popular sovereignty and tho NOM
nation Of Douglas, al might have been
well. Why didn't they sacrifice their prin-
ciples and their leader and submit to the mi
nority aud their slave coie platform?

In case before the Supreme Court, at its
recent session in DesMo;nes, the Court held
that "No part of Chapter 1876 of the Code
"of 1851 Is contained in the revision of
1850, nor is there any thing in the present
'revision now in force in place Of said
"chapter 1885," Thus there is no statute
fixing The fees OF Secretary of State, Clerk
OF the Supreme Court, Recorder, Sheriff,
Coroner, Constable, Notary Public, Justice
OF the Peace, and County Surveyor, though
after the first of Janusrv, 1861, Chapter 90,
Article :, provides a fee bill for the Clerk OF
the District Court, and after the first Mon.
day in January, 1861, Chapter 90, Article 4,
makes similar provision for the County
Judge. The difficulty as to The Sheriff's fees
Is not obyiated, nor can the Supervisors fix
these fees.
Yet the Court says that each officer 10, be
yond controversy, entitled to compensation
for his services, aud ssmav require prepay
"ment for services rendered, or may retain
"any papers or documents in his possession
Tin and about which he has bestowe ed labor,
until tire reasonable yatue of said services
"shall be paid" The Court recommends
that costs shnll be taxed as heretofore, and
in case Of appeal to the courts for their cor
rection or avoidance, it doubts not that full
and exact justice will be done to ali parties.

The Episcopal congregations of New fork
] held union service in Trinity Church, Mad
ison street, on the recent Fast day. The
congregation assembled vas large, and briei
discourscs were delivered by several pastors
DR.. Clarkson, OF st. James Church, who
spoke fret, announced in this brief sentence
the spirit which prevailed throughout
There has never been, in the history OF our
land, day of such solemn Importance az
this, when all the people are summoned to
pray to Almighty Godto save Us from threat
cned divisions, and to avert the fearful hor-
rors Of q civil war. This is no time to enter
into discussion upon the causes OF our ma
tional troubles, and this Is no jace to set
forth our individual theories as to the best
plan of settling these troubles; we are met
for another and different purpose, simply
to oak the Lord God of our Fathers, and Of
ourselves, and of our children, to end our
difficulties in His own way, and by his Own
power. We acknowledge the poweressness
of man. We own the utter inability OF opr
best men TO propose anything, or to carry
out any thing, that will restore peace, order
and happiness to our poor dismsmbered land;
and therefore as people of faith and prayer
We have but one resource-the mercy and
the loving kindness Of the King Of Kings and
Lord Of Lords.
He was followed by Rev. Mr.. Locke, OF
Grace Church, who referred to the case OF
Nineveh, and of the dispersion OF the Span
ish armada, fitted out to invade England, as
striking interpretations Of Providenceto avert
threatened calamities, in answer to the hu-
initiation and prayers of the people.
Rev. Mr.. Pratt, Of Trinity Church, closed
with sentiments in the same vein in which
DIR. Clarkson opened the services:
l am very much afraid that demagogues
and politicians have had no more said Of
them than is true. But, brethren, we must
not try to make them the scape goats Of our
sius-they have enough of their own. We
are in fault. And to make our humiliation
sincere and our prayers acceptable to God.
we must bring this matter home to ourselves.
We are not here to humble ourselves in view
of the sins of the South or the East, or OF
any particular section of our land; we are
here to repent US OF our sins To humble
ourselves before God in view of our own Of,
fenses. Oh, believe
il, brethren, there is reason enough Why we
should all Of us, yea every individual IN this
great city, fal! low on our knees before the
mercy seat, and cry nightly unto God that
He will save Us from the punishment We so
justly deserve, for we have helped TO weave
the tBeshes of that net ia which the nations
feet are now entangled. Come, then, and
let US PROSTATE ourselves again before God
and invoke his sparing mercy.
There is very marked contrast between
the utterances and spirit OF the pastors at
Trinity Church, New York, and the discourse
OF the pastor of St. Johns, Keokuk, on that
occasion,

A case came before Judge Petit yesterday
in the District Court for the Territory,
which involved the constitutionality of the
Anti Slavery bill passed by the Legislature
last winter.
A negro woman, claimed by Horace Haley
as slave, left his custody some time ago,
and went to live at the house of +. X. Foard.
Haley petitioned to recover possession Of the
ssproperty," and Foard demurred on the
ground that Fanny vas not a slave, as stated
in the petition. The casa was argued by Lee
comp,e, Matthias ard Burns for plaintiff,
and j. G. Douglas for defendant. The Judge
overruled the demurrer, and decided that
the Law prohibiting slavery in kansas was
not constitutional.

CT Under the system OF collecting the
revenue OF the General Government by Rev.
enne Cutters, or the virtual blockade Of the
Southern ports, the secession cities OF the
coast will inevitably lose their trade and
sink in desolation. The cotton, sugar and
rice will find their way to ports outside Of
the secession States and the commercial
cities of the North will gain the business
which those Of the South must lose.
