The Constitution descants upon what it calls ‘the misapplied charity of Republicanism in ne- glecting the poor and mendicant women and children of the North tolook after the contented and well-fed slaves of theSouth. It alsocriticises the late polical speech of the Hon. Tom Corwin in Philadelphia. The Intelligencer has its usual Congressional summary and news miscellany.

A. Jobnson continues unabated, and the de- sire on the part of thousands to get a glimpse of the suspec' murderer was so great that the Second precinct station hou: wienmat WHE an Anad woe Shernged 11 day On Sunday With"an“anxious and excited crowd. Among the visiters was Johnson’s wife, who ar- tived in the city at an early hour, in compan with her infant child, and had an interview wit! ber husband. When informed of the real charge preferred against the prisoner, she seemed very excited, and exclaimed, ‘1 thought it would be s0."? The large amount of money that the pri- soner was of when he started from New York bad created, a suspicion in her mind that aj] was not right, but still she had no idea that her husband would resort to such monstrous means in order to acquire it. When brought down stairs to see the prisoner she seemed much aftected. and wept bitterly. The prisoner, too, appeared slightly moved, and tried to smooth over matters to her satisfaction by assuring her that there was no truth whatever in the charge referred against him; but evidently did not Patieve his statement, and her leave of him in a manner which showed that there was con- siderable doubt in her mind as to his innocence. Police Commissioner Stilwell, a number of the Common Council, and sundry other officials paid a visit to the cell of the prisoner during the course of the day, and all agreed In prodoaucing Jobn- son one of the coolest mort living. Among the visiters at the station-house was a watchmaker, doing business in the Bowery, who identitied the watch found in a of the prisoner as that of Capt. Burr. It had been left with the watch- msker for cleaning, it appears, some time ago, so that its number and general appearance were juite familiar to him, and he was enabled to identify it accordingly It was under: yesterday that Capt. Burr’s wife was so shocked at the news of the tragedy that she was rendered speechless. She has hardly uttered a word since she received the sad tidings of the probable murder of her husband, and is 0 low tbat the physician in attendance gives it as his opinion that she will sink under the blow. The prisoner's wife says that she was aware that ber husband had recently gone on a.yoyage to Virginia, but professed her ignorance of the name of the vessel. When Jounson, or Hicks, as he now calls himself, left home, he said he was Foing on a short voyage, and expected to be back m less than a fortnight. He did not tell his wife who he was about to sail with, or the nature of the rip, but merely remarked that he was going down to Virginia, and would not be gone long. The prisoner has been handed over tothe United States authorities to be tried for Piracy, and will be examined on Wednesday. The Post of yesterday evening says: The wife of Johnson arrived in the city yester- day morning from Providence, and in company with Jokn Burke visited her husband at the sta- tion-house. She stated that on Friday evening last she got a New York paper, and seeing in {t the story of the “sloop murder,” led to read it to her husband in their room, bnt before finishing it he said he was sleepy and wanted to &, to bed, and she had better stop reading. hen taken down to the cell ip whieh her hus- band is locked up. she broke ‘out upon him in the most vituperative uage, charging him with being a bloody villain. She held up ber child in front of the cell door, and exclaimed :— “Look at your offspring, rascal, and think ‘what you have brought on us. If I could get in at you I would pull your bloody heart out.” The prisoner looked at her very coolly, and quietly replied :—* Why, my dear wife, [’ve done notii- ing—it will all be out in a day or two” The ‘woman was 80 Overcome that she had to be away.

Seeing frequent dark allusions to it in the newspapers, many of them implicating par- ties as the belligerents who were not the men, and hearing all sorts of improbable verbal stories concerning the affair, we may as well say now as at some future time—for sucha cat must of course sooner or later get clean out of the bag— that we believe Messrs. Clay and Clingman to have been the parties in collision; and that, until separated, the latter was very roughly handled. So says Madam Rumor, in circles in which she not unfrequently tells the truth. Ten to one, “squatter sovereignty,”’ in disguise, was at the bottom of the muss. ——.—_— 4 Tue Stzixzs’ Epipemic—is spreading through out the North, and bids fair not to culminate until it turns the popular mind in that region from its of late intense contemplation of the falsely alleged horrors of negro slavery in the Southern United States. In place of the ruling mania upon that subject, there is every prospect that an equally intense hostility to the interests of those among themselves able to live by the employment of capital, is for perhaps the next decade to be the prevailing sentiment in the manufacturing and mechanical States, as contra-distinguished from the agricultural States. The capitalists there, for political purposes—in furtherance of their settled plan of gaining a sectional ascendancy to the end of controlling the Government's policy with reference to the principle on which the daties on imports shall be laid, on the internal improve- ments question, &c.,—have educated the masses surrounding them to unexampled hostility to the institution of the South, on the ground that it is one of rank injustice to the laborer. To do this, they have of course grossly misrepresented its true history fand the status of the American negro as compared with that of the negro anywhere else on the face of the globe, at any period of which the world now possesses a record. In thus educating them, they have necessarily taugbt them ideas wholly at war with their own interests, the fruits of which they are now Teap- ing. Thus, a belief seems to have taken pesses- sion of the northern laboring mind, that their condition, so far as remuneration for the Tabor is concerned, is really worse than that of the south- ernslave, whocertainly receivesenough to eat, and isclothed and provided for in sickness and old age. They bave taught that labor has just claims on capital far more than it now receives at the North, in teaching that labor at the South is shame- fully unremunerated; and northern labor, finding itself, in many branches of business, grievously underpaid (now that the money prices of every necessary of life have risen much faster than wages there,) is simply applying the reasoning of the capitalists in this connection to its own case, and Is rapidly proceeding to act upon the theo- ries of individual rights in that way instilled into it. Thus a desire for war on northern employers is taking the place of the current war on southern employers preached for twenty-five years past from more than half the pulpits, lecture-rooms and Congressional seats of the North. The north- ern manufacturing capitalists turn, in alarm, to the Republican party press that has so pertinaciously assisted in their work of stirring up hatred against southern capital as employed, in their hour of distress. But with the exception of those in Bos- ton and a few other large New England cities, they look to them in vain; asin such a contest at home, their interests are with the many, rather than the few, and they decline to sacrifice those interests. The result must be that a desire to unlearn their workmen, as speedily as possible, the lessons taught them as explained above, can hardly fail very shortly to become prevalent on the part of Messieurs the northern manufacturing and me- chanical employers; while they cannot reasonably hope that, without making what they deem ruin- ous sacrifices on their part, they can check the tendency of the times around them to compel SUCHE WO Lave Mets Muetaces, UF WwW alta Ww their employed a far larger share of the profits thereof than they now enjoy; with the certainty that their demands are destined to increase year by year, with the success of their efforts, rather than to cease from contentment with their lot For the political demagogues throughout the North are already mounting the hobby of “higher wages,’’ and will ride it with whip and spur for a long time to come; every element controlling society in the manufacturing States operating to make it, in these times, pay better than any other hobby they can ride. Mr. Seward recognizes this tendency of north- ern business and social affairs, as is proved by the pains he took in his late speech to frame his new count in his bill of indictment against the South —his capital States (as cqntra-distinguished from labor States) count. In that way he essayed to continue the prevailing tendency of the discon- He could have framed it for no other purpose. Yet it has been of no avail so far, laving utterly failed to stem the current torrent of invective against northern capital under the allegation that orthern labor is far more repre- hensible than the treatment that southern capital tent of northern labor against the South. its treatment of accords to its negro labor. We believe that ere long northern labor will find out that the white laborer at the South is far more independent in every way than at the North; and, also, that the best possible insurance that hereafter northern capital shall be able to accord just and fair wages, lies in the prosperity of the agricultural—non-manufacturing—interests of the South, which, up to this time, bas been the source of most of the North's rapid and enormous acqui- sition of wealth from the prosecution of mannfac- turing, mechanical, and commercial pursuits. U. 8. Navy.—IteMs ror ConoRess.—We have received a communication from one who styles himself an “Old Navy Lieutenant,” who enters a solemn protest against the inetliciency and injus- tice of our present naval syatein, under which he saysa Lieutenant is required to serve his country faithfully for more than thirty years before he can even hope to be promoted to a higher rank, and earnestly urges a change. He mys: “L have been twenty-five years inthe Navy-— is a Llentenant, and am now fall forty-two years of aye, and still hanging. like Mahomet’s coflin, midway to the promotion of thirteen yeara ; our naval heaven—a Commander's commission. ‘There are more than sixty Lieutenants in our Navy, who have been longer in the service and who ure older in years than’ myself, and as many #8 fifteen who have served more than thirty years. I aim by ten years, at least, the senior in age of any Lieutenant in the English Navy now re- tained in active service; and the French Lieu- tenants, it is well-known, are all young and active men—that service having been greatly increased and thoroughly re-organized since the empire.”” In the same connection, another correspondent writes as follows : Mr. Epitor: There are Sv Captains on the active list, 19 on the reserve list. Out of this 99 there are only) on sea duty, 17 on shore duty and 420n leave or Waiting orders. More than half are doing nothing, and receiving $2,500 a , and yet they ask for increase pay. And so lo the redundant list of Commanders, who num- ber 114 active list and 16 reserve; in all 130, with 20 only at eea.

Cut ia peepee the lists of Captains and Command- ers, and put balf of each le aside as honorable officers who have ren the State some service. This is the only let-up for the Lieutenants who are now excluded in a measure from their leyiti- inate posts of light-house inspectors, ordnance, &e., &e. peeee Lae Buxcomsizinc.—Mondays are, in these times, nearly always legislative days thrown away. Two resolutions sought to be introduced into the House yesterday illustrate the fact forcibly—that of Mr. McQueen, amounting to a proposition to have the General Government meddle between the employers and the employed of the North, upon the ground of the daty of the Government to sustain the latter, as against the former; and that of Mr. Blake, of Ohio, proposing to abolish negro slavery in the United States by act of Con- Sress, setting every slave in their limits free, which actually received the votes of sixty Repub- \'can party members; much to the gratification of the Democrats, of course, who desire nothing more than that the Republican organization shall ‘be made, by the intensity of its abolitionism, as odious as possible to the few conservatives of the North who have not yet become identified with their (the Democratic) organization.

Mr. Bigler presented a memorial from Rice, Baird & Heebner, contractors for furnishing mar- ble for the Capitol extension, asking Congress to revent a threatened reduction of their contract y the Secretary of War. [The memorialists say that they have been in- formed by the Secretary of War that he intends procuring the columns from other parties, while oy have a contract with the United States to deliver said columns, which contract they stand ready to fultil by the delivery of the very same material about to be purch: or, if permitted, by the delivery of a much better material ] On motion by Mr. Slidell, tue Senate proceeded to the consideration of Executive business, and after some time spent therein the doors were re- opened and the Senate adjourned. In THE Hous, Mr. Blake, of Ohio, introduced a bill to repeal the fugitive slave law, approved September 18, 1*50. Referred to Committee on the Judiciary, Mr. Morse introduced a resolution condemning the African slave trade, &c ; the conduct of the Government in neglecting to take efficient meas. ures for its suppression, and calling upon the Pres- ident to open negotiations with the leading Pow- ers of Europe with a view to having the trattic declared a crimeagainst international law; which was referred to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union. Mr. Blake introduced the following preamble and resolution: Whereas the chattelizing of humanity and the holding of persons as property is contrary to na- tional justice and the fundamental principles of our political system, and is notoriously a reproach to our country throughout the civilized world, and a serious hindrance to republican liberty among the nations of the earth: therefore, Resolved, That the committee on the Judiciary be and the same is hereby instructed to inquire into the expediency of reporting a bill giving freedom to every human being and inter icting slavery wherever Congress has constitutional power to legislate on the subject. Mr. Burnett objected, but at the request of gen- tlemen around withdrew his objection. Mr. Singleton said he ited to see how many on the republican side would vote for his reso- lution, and called for the yeas and nays; which were ordered. Mr. Killinger objected to the resolution, but ‘was not reccenised by the Speaker. Mr. Blake proposed to withdraw the resolution, but objection was made on the democratic side. Mr. Duun moved to lay the resolution on the table. The Speaker decided that the motion was not in order, as the roll-call had commenced. Some confusion ensued, and various questions of order were raised and discussed. The yeas and nays wers taken on the passage of the resolution, as foilows : Yeas—Messrs.

Mr. Sedgwick, of N.

The committee then rose and reported the Sen- ate amendments to the bill in relation to the Ponca and other Indians to the House. The previous question was seconded on the Senate amendments to the bill, and then, at ten ininutes past 5 o'clock, the House adjourued. eS Preceedings of Te-Day. Ix THE SzNatz, to-day, Mr. Johnson, of Tenn. rising to a personal explanation, proceeded to re- ply to a campaign speech made by Senator Clarke, of N. H., at Dovor, in that State, in which he is reported to have made remarks disparaging the industry and energy of the people of Tennessee, among other slave States. Mr. Johnson defended at yes the people of his State from the charge of indolence and lack of enterprise made ayainst them, quoting largely from statistics to substantiate his remarks.

Mr. Wasbburne, of Ill , urged, ina speech of some length, the importance of the in.mediate adoption of the bill, aud said that a reference of it to the tomb of the Poe Comniitter of the Whole on the state of the Union—would be equiv- alent to a defeat.

The verdict of the jury of inquest is that his death ‘was the résult of intemperance, and that he died without means. Ned Homan, a slave, between 60 and 70 years of age, belonging to Dr. Anderson, of Maryland,was found dead at the residence of Sarah Bias, a col- ored woman, on High near Seventh st. He had his hand badly injured a sbort time since by a sugar mill at Orme’s grocery, where he was generally employed; and the jury believe that the wound received caused his death. John Curtis, or Captain Jack, an old colored man, well known to the bricklayers here and in Washington asa ‘‘ crack” hod-carrier for many — past,was also found dead, ating upright in ischair. ‘here was no inquest upon his remains, but his death wes probably caused by srapelse. There was a row night before last omBeall street near High, which caused considerable commotion in that neighborhood. it appears that Dennis Cady and Lawrence Donohoo made an attack upon the premises of Dennis Driscoll and Ellen Sullivan. The assailants, after breaking the door in, were met on the threshold by Driscoll, who, en dishabille, (be had just risen from bed.) and, tongs in hand, stood prepared to sustain the shock of invasion. ‘“‘When Greek meets Greek” then look out for cracked crowns and bloody noses. At it they went, ‘hammer and tongs.”? The claret flowed freely, and the fan was at its height, when “ye gentle guardians,” Captain Donaldson and oft Thomas, appeared upon the scene just in the nick of time to turn the tide of war, for Dris- coll was badly beaten, and was receiving no quar- ter from his opponents. The assailants, after a desperate resistance, were captured and taken before Justice Reaver, who, in default of security for their appearance before the Criminal Court, committed them to jail. In our letter of yesterday we put ‘South and West” for ‘North and West,’’ but might have made the matter plainer by simply stating that the telegraph office here has the same facilities and is on the same footing as oitices in other cities.
