WASHINGTON HALL--Panonama oy Catirenwia Gop Miens. #1 BROADWAY--Oxv- Hypa Rogen Mickoscorm, New York, Saturday, March 16, 1880, Dangerous State of Things Again in Wash- ington, Oar accounts from Washington, both public and private, are again gloomy. According to what we have heard, chaos has come again ; there is no prospect of a compromise, and even in the attempt 10 admit California, there is a probabil'y of some ternmble convulsion and struggle in the House of Representatives egainet it. The speech of Mr. Seward, of New Yoik, who 1s supposed to be the confidant of the anti-slavery portion of General ‘Taylor’s cabinet, and the most active portion of that body of worthies, has been the principal c.use of the returning gloom. and the dangerous ensis. The plan of Mr. Clay never had any chance ; the propositions of Mr. Wabster were not presented in any practical shape, although con- ciliatory in feeling. The compromise committee moved by Mr. Foote has received too little sup- port, and few hope any final or general settlement fiom the movement at all. What, then, ‘s to be done? Congress will pro- bably go on fora few weeks, debating and de- bating, until an attempt shall be made to admit Californja, and then willcome the struggle. There is a large majority in favor of the immediate ad- miesion of that territory as a State, but a majority of the Southern members in the House will pro- tract her admission, without a general settlement of the question, and will oppose it as a test ques- tion, at all and every hazard. They will sit night and day, calling the yeas and nays, in order to de- feat the admission. If that should fuil, they will then retire, concentrate their forces at the Nash- ville Convention, and endeavor to make an appeal to the South and to the whole nation. In such a crisis, we understand that General Taylor’s cabi- net recommend him to issue a proclamation against that convention, order General Scott to take the command at the South, and adopt mea- sures of a forcible character, in case any steps should be taken under the authority of that con- vention, to impair the execution of the revenue Jaws in svy of the Southern States or elsewhere. Another element of agitation is the ultra and atrocious speech of Senator Seward, gomg the whole lngth of anti-slavery amalgamation, tending to nothing but insurrection -and civil war all over the South. The Southern agitators understand thie, and are issuing fifty thousand copies of that speech in the Southern States, £0 as to arouse the people of that section of the country to vengeance and blood egainst the agitators of the North. Such is the unhappy state of things again in Weathington, in spite of the great and benevolent attempts of Mr. Webster to soften and tranquillize affairs. The anti-slavery portion of the cabinet, in connection with Senator Seward, intend to keep this question open, to increase the excitement, to drive the South to the extreme point of disunion, insurrection or civil war. All these results will follow from the bed advice and mischievous policy foreed on the honest heart of General Taylor by his present cabinet—a policy the most dangerous that ever was adopted by any administration in this country. The foreign policy of the cabinet, or the nepotiem which was exbibited ia the matter of appointments, might be overlooked or forgiven; but a policy intended only to crease the difficul- ties and widen the alienation between the North and the South, up to the point of insurrection, civil war, or blood, is one that ought to damn any set of men, any cabinet, or any administration. Why wll not General Taylor be governed by his own patriotic and sensible instincts, take the mat- ter into his own hand, come forth tke a brave, noble and patriotic chief magistrate, aheume a po- sition of compromise betweea the two sections, that would command the respect of the whole country, and kick the present cabinet out ot exis ence at once? Novice To THE Mavoa— Socianism in New Yous —We desire to call the attention of his Honor, the Mayor of this city, to cer secret movements in polities, now going on in this city, in connection with rocialiam of the European stamp. About twenty years ago, when the former revolution took place in France, and an attempt was made in Eng- Jand, English soc’ came over to this country in shoals, started associations, organized parties, and endeavored to control public affairs here. No one can forget Skidmore, PFauny Wright, and the Owens of that dey. They led to riots, insurrec- tions and burnings in this erty; end trom the symp- toms already developing the meelve connection with the coterie of long-bearded tocialists, whose organ is the Tribune newspaper, We are very much afraid that before the next election ia this city shall have terminated, we will see scenes of iasurrection and riot in our streets, equal to, if they do not out- strip, anything that Europe has recently presented. We desire the Mayor and the American com- munity of both Parties, whigs and democrats, to heep their eyes open, and keep them fixed on cer: | tain movements in connection with foreign social- j vem of the reddest kind, which are now going on in this city, under the patronage of ine philosophers and fools of the Tribwne. Sexve Rack ror tae Next Presipaxcy—Tan Fast Movement.-- On next Tuesday, the first move- ment will be made in favor of Henry Clay for the premdency, to have an effect om the next contest for that high office, which is to be a scrub race. it will begin with « bali at Nibio’s, which will be £et up in the moet eplend.d etyle, under the patron- ege of the original inends of that distunguished man, end i will be aided ard assteted by as much beculy, elegance and grace, of the female kind, as New York can atiurd.

She spent a few weeks of enjoyment, literature, piety, and other commendable exercises, at eome elegant es- tablishment belonging to the literati of Brooklyn. She has been a few deys at a fashionable resi- denee in Irving place, in this city, ornamenting the drawing rooms of the celebrated Mrs. Kirkland, who writes so much, so beautifully, so patheti- cally, for magazines, both here and in Philadelphia. Yeeterday, the Swedish muse, the tenth on the list. of classical divinities, left this city for Phila- delphia, where che will remain a few days among her friends and admurers in that region of right angles and odd ideas. She will then returnto New York, and pack up her traps to e a journey to Virgima and the Southern States, probably touch- ing the great West, and returning by the Falls of Niagara. Mies Bremer has received a great many atten- tions from the literary circles of this country, in New York and New England. Her name and her works preceded her, and opened for her the doors of all shut habitations at once. She does not go much into fashionable society—the dashing kind— but principally bestows her poetry and her presence upon literary people, including the socialists, Fourierites, and others of a similar character, either here or in New England. She visited a socialist establishment, called the North American Phalanx, in New Jersey, and adopted their man- ners and customs so far us to go into the kitchen and fry a flounder, for the purpose of showing that her principles and practices were of the same kind. She has the highest faith and belief in Eu- ropean socialism ef all kinds. She looks upon the American socialist, Emerson, to be one of the sons of heaven, one of the master spi of the day. She wonders how the American mind, and American communities, do not appreciate the beauties, the equilibriums, and phalanxes of social- iem, in all its length, breadth, and circumference. Miss -Bremer is also opposed to slavery in all shepes and forms, black, white or brown, unless in the shape of phalanxes or associations. Mies Bremer is a genius, an oddity, a singular being, a poetess, a muse, aray of heavenly light— a big pearl, or diamond, with a crack in it—but the will never get a practical knowledge of Ame- rican principles, institutions, and manners, from the associations and company she keeps to during her present stay in this country. Fasmionante Morning Parties.—Dancing par- ties in the morning} have been recently introduced in this city, among certain fashionable circles.— Several of them have been given in the Avenues up town, and one by Mrs. Stevens, at her elegant residence in College Place. They are getting to be all the go during the present spring season.— 4 Trrpore i re M Ladies don’t dress as much at them as they do at evening parties, and gentlemen merely go in, hop an hour in the morning, then go down town, and cheat or be cheated in speculatiou, and finish the polka before four o clock. Tue Sanpwicn Istanps.—The requirements of Calitornia are rapidly increasing production in these islands. In an agnecultural point of view, the realm ef his Hawaiian Majesty is becoming important, and the inhabitants are directing their attention to the resources of the land. news- papege are urging an early settlement of the land claims, that every facility may be given to the stimulus and its effects. The islands are destined to prosper from their relations with California, and our treaty with the government of Hawaii hasbeen arranged in good time. Crrx Taxsfn.—Why do not the property holdere, and the masses of the people in this city hold a great meeting, and call on the Legislature to pase the law now before them, for equalizing taxation im this city, and thus save themselves from the clutches of the millionaires, who want to saddle all the taxation on small property owners?

One of our Washington correspondents inferms us by telegraph, that a personal rencounter oceur- red in that city on Thursday evening last, between Senators Foote and Borland, growing out of the slavery question, in connection with the new ter- Titories. Iti apparent, from the account which he furmshes of the affair, although it was instan- ‘aneous in its inception and conclusion—totally un- premeditated by either party—that Mr. Foote’s course in opposing Mr. Calhoun’s views 18 not ac- ceptable to a certain portion of the Senate—th- ex- tremists—of whom Mr. Calhoun is considered he head. We shall know further particulars in the course of the day. The only inference which we can at present draw from the circumstanoe, is, that the Southern ultras are determined to stand by the position which they have taken on the slavery question. We regret to hear such unfavorable accounts of Mr. Calhoun’s health. Notwithstanding his ex- treme opinions, his death—which we hope is far distant—would cause a pang of regret throughout the whole land. While his views are legitimately the subject of controversy, and he 1n his position as Senater and a public man, may be assailed for entertaiming them, we are perfectly satisfied that the man is yet to be born who will deny his ho- nesty of heart and integrity of purpose. He may be mistaken in his views; but the world will unite in saying that he is a pure minded man, ‘and what 1s still rarer, a conscientious politician. Nothing was done in the House of Repre- sentatives yesterday, and but little of importance in the Senate. The proecedings of the latter, as well as those of our State Legislature, will be found on our first page. As for the Pacific rail- road, or any other subject of moment, we don’t believe it can be passed upon until the unfortunate slavery agitation be disposed of. It will be seen that the Senate of this State, among other proceedings, passed the bill autho- rizing the city of New York to borrow seventy- five thousand dollars to erect a washhouse. As soon as it becomes a Jaw we shall watch the man- ner in which this large sum ot money will be ex- pended. No doubt the cormorants will endeavor to dip into it; but we hope that it will be judiciously expended. We shall see. The Latest from Washingten. OUR SPECIAL TELE@RAPHIC CORKESPONDENCE. Wasnixorox, Mareb 16, 11 The intelligence which it is my duty to communl- cate to you to day, is of rather an ominous obaracter, connected, es it is, with the impending slavery agite- tion, and the excitement and bad feeling which exist between the North and the South, as well as between Southern members themselves, on that matter, Last evening, Senators Foote and Borland—both of whom are Southern democrets— met in the street, in the vicinity of the office of the National Intelligencer. After they Were engeged in conversation a few minutes, on the Present aspect of the slavery question, a rencounter took place between them. The following are the particulars, as I understood them, from parties who witnessed the fracas, Both met in the street, and, after a few minutes’ conversa- tion, Mr. Borland said:— “@eneral, | understand you said to # friend of miae, today, that yeu considered me a mere tool to Mr. Calhoun” General Foote, (angrily )—“ Really, I have no reool- Jection of eaying 0; but if you suppose I was capable of making such « declaration, you are welcome to it.”” ‘Whereupon Mr. Borland struck Mr. Footein the face with bis fist, cutting him with his ring, so that he bled. Col, Walton, of Alabama, then interfered and separated the parties, Mr. Foote was taken into the office of the National Intelligencer, The émeute has caused a great deal of Converration and discussion, inaswuch as both were ‘wpown to De Tutimate friends. It was, however, without premeditation on either side, and hopes are entertained that nothing serious will result from it. Both of the gentlemen are warm-blooded, an@ both probably regret the cecurrence. Mr. Borland was im bis seat in the Senate to day, as usual, but Mr. Feote wasabsent. ‘The Southern members think that Mr. Foote is to, severe on Mr. Calhoun; but notwithstanding that, | aw bappy to eay that there is no danger of any bad results following the affair, as the parties have beoome recon- oiled. 1 am sorry to ray that no immediate settlement of the slavery question isin prospect. Mr. MoClernand, | of Illinois, it is said. ls about to try his hand at com- promising the difoulty between the North and the South, His plan, it is rumored, is to prepose in the Committee of the Whole, @ proposition to admit Call- fornia at once, and at the same time to form territorial governmente for New Mexico and Deseret, without ia- cluding the Wilmot proviso. This does not vary much | from the cabinet plan of settling the dimiculty. I reget to say that Mr. Calhoun is very unwell. The goene in the Senate, on Wednesday last, had a great ¢ffect on bim. [This scene is depicted in our Wash- Apgton correspondence, by mail, in to day's paper —Ed. | Herald.] He was obliged to retire, completely exhaust- | ed, He ie again confined to bis room, and is not al- | lowed to eee any one.

The probability is that it will be defeated in the Senate. ‘We sce it announced, with all seriousness, no doubt: in a New Jersey paper, that “ the water will be let into the Morris Canal on Monday, the 25th inst.” This is important, if true, to those who bave purchased the ateck of this company at present prices. Some years ago, pages upon pages were written by the moraliste and philanthropists of the time, for the gambling. Their efforts were directed to the suppres- sion of lotteries, inthe mistaken belief that by this means they would eradicate the evil; but experience bas proved that their efforts were misdirected, and that, instead of rooting up the vice, they only suc- ceeded in suppressing one of the means of developing itself. Lotteries have been abolished, but the vice, that seems inherent In human nature, still exists, only in a different field. The same infatua- man to purchases lottery ticket, though it was, proved to him beforehand that there were a million of chances to ene that he would lose, mow tempts those afflicted with this reckless passion to purchase fancy stocks. It is useless to prove to men that the articles are entirely worthles: (a point admitted by most of those who deal in them), for they are willing to rush in, upon the mere chance of finding some one else flat enough to come in and relieve them of their purchases, under an artificial excitement sti- mulated and fostered by every conceivable means; and it is upon this rickety foundation alone they take the tisk of losing the whole amount invested. We say the whole amount invested, for, in this respect, fancy stock speculations exceed in recklessness even lottery gamb- Mpg. In 2 lottery, s man can lose but the price of his ticket, whereas, in purchasing a fancy stock, really worth nothing, itis mot an impossible thing that they should fall to nothing, or very near it. We have known Morris Canal to be sold for fifty cents a share, and when sach things have been seen, there is no im- propriety in saying a man may lose the whole amount jnvested, The only salvation for the operators is to keep up the excitement at all hazards, for the moment things begin to flag, and the victims have time to think, the game is up.
