eventful days which l have been reluct.
antly permitted to examine, which will
make, when collated and given more
space than can possibly be accorded
them in newspaper article, a history
that will reverse the generally accepted
estimate OF theloyalty and fidelity of
more men than Judge Black 1t is a
fact beyond contr ,Vention that this long
silent man, who has steadily refused to
make his own defense or to permit any
one to make it for him, or even to see
the defense he had, was the power that
forced the preparation of an expedition
early in December, 1860, to reinforce
Major Anderson whenever it was tho't
Cessary, and WHO saw that an officer
was despatched to aCqusint him with the
fact and order him to defend himself to
the last extremity. For more than a
month this expedition was delayed
against his protests by the official opin-

Major Anderson had retreated into Sum.

been committed. But General Scott
found other reasons for del,y, and rec

meet his objections for action before
taking on 800 isCiplined troops from
Fortress Monroe and munitions of war,
250 raw recruits be sent from New York
in a merchant vessel 80 as to not hurt
the feelings of the South Carolinas. Mr..
Buchanan promptly overruled him and
gave an order through the Lieutenant
General for the dispatch of the Brook

it to the proper officers, quietly pocket

sTEMMING THE CURRENT.

Memorandum TOR The PreSldent on the sub
ject of the paper draoOn up by him /,
reply to the Commissioners of South Car
olinG:
First-The first and the concluding
paragraph both seem to acknowledge the
right of South Carolina to be represent
ed near this Government by diplomatic
officers. That implies that she is an in
dependent nation, with no other rela'
tions to the Government of the Union
than any other foreign power. If such
be the fact, then she had acquired all
the rights, powers and responsibilities Of
a separate Government by the mere or.
dinsnCe of secession which passed her
convention few days ago. But the
President has always, and particularly in
his late message to Congress, denied the
right of secession and asserted that no
State could throw of her Federal obliga.
tions in that way. Moreover, the Presi.
dent has. also very distinctly declared
that even if State could secede and go
out of the Union at pleasure, whothr by
revolution or in the exercise of consti-
tutional right, he could not recogni re
her independence without being Quilty
of usurpation. 1 think, therefore, that
every word and sentence which imply
that South Carolina is in an attitude
which enables the President to "treat"
or negotiate with her or to receive her
Commissioners in the character of diplo.
natic ministers or agents, ought to be
stricken out and an explicit decla ration
which would reassert the
principles of the message, 1t is surely
not enough that the words Of the mes.
sage be transcribed if the doctrine there
announce be practically abandoned by
on negotiation.
SeCond-I would strike out all express
sions of regret that the Commissioners
are unwilling to proceed with the nego-
tiations, since it is very clear that there
can be no negotiations with them
whether they are willing or not.
Third-Above all things it is obiec.
tionable to intimate willingness to ne.
gotiate with the State of South Carolina
about the possession of a military post
which belongs to the United States or to
propose any adjustment of the subject
or any arrangement about it. TIE forts
in Charleston Harbor belong to this
Government, are Its own and cannot be
given up. 1t is true they might BIZ sur.
rendered to superior force, whether
that force be in the service Of a seeding
State or a foreign nation. But Fort
Sumpter is impregnable and cannot be
taken if defended as it should be, 1t is
a thing of the last Importance that it
should be maintained il all the power of
this nation can do it; for the command
of the harbor and the Presidents ability
to execute the revenue laws may depend
on it.
Fourth--The words "coercing a State
by force of arms to remain in the Con-
federaCy, a power which 1 do not be.
lieve the Constitution has conferred on
ought certainly not to be re.
tanned. They are too vague and might
have the effect (Which | am sure the
President does not intend) to mislead

though it was Judge Blacks individual
action, it 80 entirely met his views that

to what he and all other Union men
deemed fatal decision, but one which
had already stood against the assault of

VOORHEES, AND MALONE.

General Mahone's attempt to play
the bully in the personal wrangle ill.,
to which he provoked Senator Voor-
bees, has placed him in very ridic

Mr.. Voorhees, of his endorsement OF
the personalities Of the newspaper
article read as part of his speech,
ought to have satisfied Malone.
But be could not let we'll enough
alone aud, in attempting to bully the
Indianaisn into q more specific
retraction, be pressed him beyond
forbearance and the result was that
Mr.. Malone received a direct, spe-
cific and degrading insult.
In other words Mr.. VOORHEES, dis
tinctly and directly denounced him
as "a renegade Democrat" and fur
ther endorsed every word of The
newspaper article that reflected upon
the Virginia traitor. Mahone's sub
sequent silly bravado must cover
him with contempt. He was direct
" and specifically insulted by Mr..
Voorhees,. In the latter's language
there were no double meanings to be
explained; no insinuations which
might leave it in doubt whether an
insult was intended or not and sus.
ceptible of explanation. The Ian
guage was pointed direct and gross

Vennor's Predictions For April,

weather predictions for April:
There will be sharp frost in the
beginning of April, with a snowfall

will be pretty we'll advanced by
April Is. Floods may be expected
in Chicago about the first week in
April, with high winds also prevail
ing 10 the early part of the month.
Snowfalls are probable about April
s. Navigation is likely to open on
Lake Ontario about April Z.
The St. Lawrence will be opened
about the ninth or eleventh, and the
first steamship will probably arrive
about the seventeenth or eighteenth.
The weather will be very stormy in
the lower provinces about the TWEEN.

dry month. There will be warm
weather just following the twentieth,
ending in thunder storms on the
twenty-fourth and twenty ffth.-
Snow storms are probable in the far
West on the twenty fifth and TWEEN
ty sixth, and snow. falls are not IN.
likely to occur in England at the
close Of the month. The month will
end wet and cold, but, on the whole,
will be like a May month.
