Mecing of the Free State Legislature—Free Soil Stories Contradicted, This is the dey the bogus Topexe Legislature meets. Now we will see the tone and the effect of Presi- Gent Pierce’s proclamation. Governor Shannon arrived lest night in the stage, with his iastructions in his pocket, and left immediately for the Territory. ‘And now permit me to sey, in the best of feeling, that not one word of truth is told in all the letters writ- ton about the invasion of Kansas, nor not even spoken of. ince your reporter was here everything has gone on ‘as quictly as could be, and such things as “border ruf. fians,”’ as we are called, or Missourians, even thinking of such acting is perfectly preposterous; and when we see letters emanating from Lawrence, and published in some of the abolition papers of the North, got up by some po- Ltical demagogue, or for effect, or by some manufacturer of guns or other warlike implements, it only creates mirth with sympathy with us, knowing that there is not one word of truth in the thing. THE EXCITEMENT IN KANSAS. We copy the following despatches from the St. Louis Republican: — Lacuncton, March 11, 1856, ‘The bogus State Legislature met at Topeka March 4, and organized by the election of officers. Gov. Robinson's message te published. It is rather long; the most of it 13 devoted to a review of Kansas history, and the emceavor to justify the action of the free soil party. Two ot the concluding clauses are as foliows:—‘ lt is understood that the Deputy Marshal has private instractions to ar- rest the members of the Logisiature and State officers for treason, &s soon as this address is received by you. In suoh an event; of course. no resistance will pe offered to ‘the officer. Let what wili come, nota fioger should be raised against the federal suthorivy until there shall be no hope of t but in revoiution.’’ Tne Governor romote educe- ‘. le say s—« Ex ping knife of the sa- vage on the west, the revolver and hatchet on the east, a poxcnee and carly organization of the militia is urgent- ly called fer.”” The Arabia reached here yesterday morning. She had on beard one bundred ‘rifles and two cannon, which the ei izens of Lexington took charge of, and are keeping them, eubject to the or¢er of Gv. Suannon. Varicus rumours prevail about affairs in Kemsas, Ao- cording to ove, the legis ature is to adjourn to Law- rece for protection, untu the action of Congress is known; another, that the Depaty left Lawrence on Sa- turday to arrest the Legisla ure at Topeka, but noching definite is known. There isno excitement here. Kiver tull of new ice.

The City Grows DulleeKansas and the War Game Pretty Nearly Played OuteOpinions on the Nicaragua Ques- tion—Presidential Chat, dc., dc. ‘Washington has seldom been less interesting than it is at present. Excitements are dying off, and plain reason is commencing he: rule. The Kansea question is still under cebate in the House, and may in time finda ter. mination; but the interest which has hitherto followed this subject is rapidly approaching its ead, which will provea serious loss to the mgger worshippers. Besides, the daily expectation of news irom the fountain head is much dreaded and earnestly looked afer. Governor Shannon bas been instructed by the President upon the subject, and before leaving this city, he had declared his intention to crush the rebellion at all hazards and at any cost. A month from this, or two months at farthest, will see this belicoge, abolition, rampant Kansas madness cooled down to natural blood heat, having been forced to give way to common sense and tha laws of the country. In the Senate, the war feeling with Great Britain is also ying out, where it had its first impulse, and the impression is gaining ground that England and America bave agreed to shake hends and to forge: the past. General Cass, however, continues to think otherwise; but the Queen’s dinner to Mr. Buchan- ‘an, and his acceptance ot the eame, is thought to bear ite'own interpretation, and the lvogers on in this city will have it tha: it is one of peace. ‘Lhese difficulties out ol the way, Kansas quieted, and England giving u; our demends, we shali have for th» rematader of tne rion nothing but plam sailing in matters of legislation, while contractors ard specu.atora will, as ever, be ou the alert for the government pluader. Ye., perhaps, it might be as we:l to await the actusl settle zent of these hitherto toreatening questions, before proceesing to es- timate the benefits that peace at nome and abroad would be likely to bring with it.

The snti-Nebreskaites are making their shouts at the favorable position, in which they pave materially aided, in placing the Know Nothings, by their nomination of Filumore. They can count with certainty upon the sup- port to their ticket of at Jeast one half of tne origiasl number of Know Nothings, who cen’t be brought to vote fer the Phisceiphia nominee. Ali that is now required to insure them—the nigger worshippers—success, is the nomination of Franklin Pierce, and this course, by the democracy, you will see by their press, is being warmly recommended. I suppose, however, they wiil have to leave this matter to the Cincinnati Democratic Conven- tion for setdemert. Nicaraguan Notabilities. (From the Sanday limes, March 16.) AMATEUR RULERS.

There was one remarkable statement made by Mr. Barnum, in his examinstion, whica shows that he has never been a correct and judicioas business man. He says that he had supposed that he was an endorser for the Jerome Clock Company to the amount of about one hundred thousand 4o! only, but, to his infinite sur- prite, be last January discovered that he was on their | rapathe fare extent of og ‘a miliion of dollars. jo prudent man endorses for bia friend or neighbor, or assists him in business, without knowing to what extent he loans his name. Most of the notes of the Jerome Clock Company. on which Mr. Barnum is found an en- dorser, be says, were signed and endorsed in blanks—thus leaving the company to fill up the pa} as best suited them. For most of these notes, Mr. Barnnm does not consider himself moral'y responsible, because were endorsed in blank. We cannot agree wih him in in- stance, and sre srry to find his gocd nature, confi and carelesenes. led him into so deplorable an error. The examination of Mr. Baraum has not ye" been con- cluded, and it is not unlikely that it will ocoupy a portion of several subsequent days. There appears to be an im- prestion on the minds of those who instituted these pro- ceedings, that Mr. Barnum has insidiously dis) of some of the large es'ates which once ai in name; and, if possible, they intend to fasten on him the shares of perjury. We do not believe they will meet with mi success in their u:dertakings. During the examination of Mr. Barnum yesterday, he stated that bis entire wealth consisted in a gold watch, a diamond pin, and few obligations in his favor, by him considered worthless. He further stated to the court, that he supports himself by keeping « boarding house in Eighth street, the provisions being furnished py bis son- in-law, and the vegs‘ables contributed by friends in Con- necticut, He likewise remarked that had but two suits of clothes and $25 in cash io his possession. How are the mighty allen! [From the Sunday Leader, March 16.] THE LIFE QF A SHOWMAN—RICH TO-DAY AND POOR TO-MORROW—MERE OUNNING A DANGEROUS ELEMENT IN HUMAN CHARACTER. ¥. T. Barnum, who atew months sgo was reputed to befworth ba‘f a million of dol'ars, now comes before the Supreme Court, brovgat there by some of his creditors, to explain ail about his Propert . He states that he now lives in this city, that the Museum, once his, and all ita curiosities, have been sold for $24,000; that he paid $12,000 for it fourteen years azo, and that now he has not the least interest in it. He says that last June he was worth $500,CC0, His property be valued at $800,000, and he owed $300,000. About this period the Jeromes came along and wished bim to endorse their notes for $100,000, Barnum dic it and repeated bis endorsements on similar paper, as be suposed to take up the former. Final y he asce:tained that he had endorsed to the amount of $464,000, and so far as he knows, there may be a milion ot dollars of this paper cut,'as he often signed in blank for the Jeromes to put in what amount the: chose. Still, Barnum don’t consider that he hes failed, ashe says his retusal to pay there “clock debts’’ of the Jercmes don’t exactly constiute a failure. de allegus that the holcers of these cbiigations of bis were the very sons who induced him to become responsible for the jeromes. The splendid paiatings at Barnum’s house at Iranistan, he eays he sold for $2,000 though they cost him $10,000, His present assets are Crystal Palace stock, which is not worth bait ae much as the sbin of the celebrated woolly horse once in his possession. Now, whcever has read Barnum’s biography, written by himeels, will consider it very strange that be did not follow his own a¢vice. Who that knows Barnum cou'd believe that he would endorse the notes of a clock com- pany to the extent of nearly every dollar he was worth in the world, according to his own estimate of the value of his property in June last. He rays he owned property which he valued at $800,000, and it was mor'geged fr about $300,000, which left nim about $500,000. At this very time he endorsed no‘es for near half a millicn of éoliars, without even carefully scrutiniz- nowin oreditore, ing the ic pa sive ged ot those whose paper he put his name to. He even mor! his _pro to rawe $80,000 for the Jeromes in December last. 9 may be @ wooily horse in all this reputed failure of Barnum, after all. The Jeromen did not get this $80,000. Baraum says he raised it in bonds on several Siates, counties and towns, but a friend of his just at this time had looked into the affairs of the Jeromes, and told Barnum that they were bankrupt. and he was ruined. Barnum then sold there bonds, at a loss cf $30,000, and took the money, he says, to pay bis own deate. There cannot be much sympathy for Barnum. Whoever has read bis biography, from bis own pen, must be eatis- fied that bis moral principles were never strongly de- veloped. His bock, which he managed to cell in various countries of the globe, has disgraced the Awerican name. It ie nothing but a history of the art of getting money uncer false petences; and the author, in a moral point of view, isno better than thousands who have sul- fered the penalties of the laws for such practices. The world is always better off without such gentuses as Bar- num. Noone pretends that he ever possessed talen: in any honorable and dignified employment. He is a mere cunning showman, who would seize upon other men’s ideas and apply them to the art of money making wichout proper remuneration even in a business point of view. ‘Bhow me how you ive, 4 where you live, and where you get your mears to live!” This was one of the quertions put to Barnum during hii wwination; ani he replied tot by saying that ne, lived in this city, in Eighth street, sua kept boarders, and had no other means of support, except some mest given to him by his son-in-law, in Connecticut, and some vege ables which grew on bis farm last year. He said he had e gold watch and a breast pin,worth some four or tive hundred doilars, which be would produce, if required to do a>. He also casually remarked that he had two suils of clothes and about twenty-five dollars in money. The Navai Board. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. " Afver three months’ discussion in the United States Senate, without arriving at avy practicable result, tend- ing to elucidate the motives which governed the astion of the fifteen naval cficez#, we have at 1ength—happily for the country—begun to draw matters tos focus, through the ragacity «f Seoator Iverson, in offerixg the following resolution :— Resolved, That a special committee of five Senators be ap- pon ed, with power to call before them 48 many of the board (Council of 16) as convenient, sod place them under oath, ‘as to the causes and evidence which goverved their decision in every case that came before them.

Tum Broapway Vagixrims.—We have already called at tention to the zew theatre which has been recently opened in this city, under the title of the Broadway Va" rietios, and which promises to become one of the most popular places of amusement in New Yerk, It has one of the best stock companies; and alt the oldest member of it is not more than thirteen years of age, the Targe ot formance embraces dramas, comedies and musical pieces. The title under which this company is now known is the ‘: Wood and Marsh Troupe,” and they have been playing at their new theatre for the past three or four weeks. before this, however, eens @ short engagement at the Broadway theatre, and had performed in some of the principal cities throughout the country. The princi riormers are Master George W. Man, Mise Kary tah, Miss Louise, Miss Carrie, Master Waido, Mise Sarah, Miss Helen, Misses Jenny and Georgians, all of whom, though children in years, appear to be as perfectly at home upon the stage as the oldest and most expe- rienced players. Master George, who is called the infant prodigy, ia not more than ix yrars of age, and is car- tain'y a child of most remarkable theatrical talent. 1’e0- know, are generally inciined to hear or read ac- cor of wonderful chiidren with austrust, and are never ratisfied till they have an opportunity of judging for themaclves; but there are very few, we , ifany, who have been Ss te in Master George, who has been facetiounly styled ‘the low comedian.” It seems incredible that a child of six years should not only be able to commit to the parts of over a dozen characters, but that he should comprehend them in all their variety and render them with an ex, ion of almost life-like reality. But this is a all: the low comedian not ® mere imitator—he is perfectly original, and scorns to take any one for his model. In his favorite character of Jen Baggs, there is hardly a night he plays it that he doesnot introduce some p: ints of his own, which always tell, and are never out of keeping with the charadter. His per- formance in this piece has been compared with that of ‘encther®? ian, some forty years his senior, and there ae many who think that it ia equal to his in every re-pect, Master George is also very prompt andd witted, ana bis bon mots have often given his audience “ite” of laughing. An instance of this occurred a fow nights sgo curing the performance of the ‘‘Naisd Queen.”” Approaching too near foot lights he fell off the stage into the orchestra, but fortunately escaped uninjured. Overcome with mortification at the faux pas, he hurried back to retrieve himeelf as pest he might; but justas he was entering the side door he saw his father, who, aston- ished at bis au¢den appearance there, when he should mre me en the stage, inquired the cause of George bimsel “T tumbled off the stage,’’ replied the little fellow, aE MUliae waisec aetna rejoined ‘Well my you’re n , are you?” rejoin thefalbers fat . “No,” said the low comedian, “that’s not it at all; be then it locked ao bad in the middle of the piece, you OW ‘(Oh, rever mind that, that’s nothing,” the father said, -“tbat 's nothing, iv’s not so bad as a man and horse both falling off the stage.

He is a modest child, too, and very :eerved in his manner, although he has been before the public as sn actor tor more a year. Little Mary Marth is two years older than her brother, and almost as much of s prodigy. Her first appearance on the stage was about two years ages in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” in which she took ie part of Eva.

THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE BUGINNING THEIR ‘TOUR OF INSPEOTION—A VISIT TO THE BARRACKS —BAGPICKERS’ ROW AND BAGDAD HOTSL—THE COMMITTEE GBT INTO 4 WRONG LOCALITY —4A LEGISLATIVE LUNCH. ‘The appointed to investigate Committee, into the condition of the tenant houses of New York, met on Saturday morning, at 10 0’clock, at the Mayor’s of- fice, pursuant to adjournment of the day previous. A full committee was present. There was quite a numerous attendance of landlord and tenant housebuilders, who were expecting to be called upon to give their knowledge of the present general construction of tenaat houses in New York, together with suggestions as to the most suit- able plan to be adopted for their construction hereafter. After a private consultation between the members of the it however, to sera rast prs eet Plans for the construction of tenant until the committee gh eed yd inspestion into che ac- tual condition of the ing tenant nouses of every class in the city.

A widely different ted itself trom that of the previous tene- building covers two lote, having an aggregate front of fifty feet and extending back two hundred feet deep. On elther side is a court Cieconnecting is from the neighboring tenements. The courts are eight feet wide end bear the respective names of East Gotham oourt and North Gotbam court. The building 1 five stories hign, of brick,and painted a light slete color. Under this le roof are gathered two hundred and sixty families, mal ‘an aggregate of over one thousand persons. Each family has a room and bedroom, the f»rmer four- teen by ten fort in dimensions, and the latter fourteen by seven teet. The rents vary from $4 to $6 per mouth. ‘The rooms are all of low ceiling, and damp and dark. The halls are narrow, with ira only 28 inshea wide. The basement is the general receptacle of every kind of filth. The committee attempted a partial exploration of its recesses, but had to retreat from the sickenicg task. A look into the apartments and breathing their unwhole } it wee some air proved vere test to the untried sensi- bilities of the committee. The agent stated that the in- come irom the building, includ: the grocery store in front, was $500 a month, ¢r $6,000 year. The inmates were mostly German and Irish, and taough some looked rugged and merry, tbe majority looked sorry and dolerul eno' To No. 410 Water street the committee were next driven. A seven st ry brick house, with basement, pre- sented itself of comparatively recent construction, and 26 by 60 feet in dimensions. The basement was first looked into, Here an apartment 10 feet by 12, with bedroom adjoining, seven feet mee, was found to be occupied by @ man and bis wite, wite’s mother and four children. The rent charged was $4 @ month. having been recently reduced to that amount from $5. The rocma were enurely under ground. Pipes from the water closets above lead Saxpgh te apartments, and they had, it was stated, during cold weather, burst times. Proceeding from the subterranean apart- ments below to view the rooms in tle upper ae a clase of tenant house occupants was stumbled upon, for the smelioration of whose condition the oommittes hardly deemed themeelves commissioned. The staii chairmaa ‘was quiet y taking the lead, not venturing hardy to ask a question without a pre‘atory spolegy, when, passing into a room on the fourth floor, he was ling to open the bed room door :— “No, sir, don’t you doit,” uttered a big, coarse woman; ‘<1 con’t care who you are—no one opens that door un- less he pays firat 1”? The chairman did not open the dcor, but while he locked emazed, together with the other rural members of the ccmmittee, the dozen female occupants of the room set up agererel lavgh, the import of which was unmis- takeable. The chairman beat « hasty retreat, followed by two other members of the committee and Mr. Down- ing. °E: Where have you been taking us tof” he asked Mr. “ Really,’’ said Mr. Downing, ‘‘I knew the house itself was rot decent, but I didn’c know otherwise of its occu- ” few minutes the remaining visitants issued from the premises. jocose im the recital ot a “spectacle” that had tell under their observation. This semi- partis! examination having been terminated rather bastily, to accord with the views of some, word was given to the drivers to take tne committee around to ‘the Barracks,” in Goerck street. Hore was found a pile of oid dilapidated tenements, on Goerck street from No. 64 to No. 72 inolusive, and extending back to Mangin street a depth of 300 feet. The front and rear was 126 feet. A narrow cout ran through the centre. Tne bulidings were four stories, bails narrow, rooms low, small, damp, fitby and unventilated. two butldings were 146 families, contaizing 577 persons. Of these only five fami. ties were Americans. ¢ rooms will acoommodate.over 1,100 persons when fall. The rent varies from $3 to $6 month. A gimpse throvgh the premises only showed at every step increasing developement of poverty and wretchedne:s. A visit to some tenant houses occupied mainly by Taspichers now followed. The first place en wes 98 Eheriff street, rear house. It wasa twostory tene- ment. It was difficult to tell of which there was a pre- derancy of tevante—dogs or human . The rmer met the inspecting party “baying deep mouthed weloome,’’ while tne latter skulkingly sought to keep themselves unobserved. The rooms were 8 by 12 feet, mostly with two bedsin them. The building, thougl smali, formed a shelter and home for some tifty rag. pickers and fall double that number of dogs. The rags, their frittered ccndition and varied hues, from the windows snd decorating the basks of chairs, presented an unuaval tattered aspect. ‘The tattered aspect extended itse:f to the costume of the wretched, prcken down, miserable men and women who novered amid the tat‘ered shreds, fit emblems of their own faced, worn cut, tattered existence.

The aintiff effected an in-urance in the office of the Eagle bom: any, on the life of one Cheesebro. In his writen application he represented himself as having an interest im ‘bro’s lite ‘* to the full amount of ,”? thesum insured. Atd the question is, was the plaintiff, in such ase, before a recovery could be had, boun’ affirma- tively to establieh the tru h of his representation? Or did the burden of proof, in the tirst ins:ance, to show its al- teged falsity, reat on the detendants ? The cetendants, by taking the premium on the full amount of $500, and delivering the policy to the plaia- tiff, a¢mitied, prima facie, their belief ot the truth of ihe representativn, and the sufficiency in the firat instance of the evidence, whatever it might have been, on which their belief rested. Hence the stipulation in the policy for preliminary proofs in case of Jovs, was silent as to any further evidence of interest. The defendants cove- nanted absolutely to pay ‘the raid sum of $500 within dsys”’—not after proof of death and interest, bat “after due notice and proot of the death of said Benja- min F. Cheecebro. Havirg, then, expressly agreed to pay, on proof of death, and’ on that aloue, what rignt have the deendanta to inverpolate avy other matter as «condition precedent to their liability to pay? They have a right no doubt—notwithstanding their ori implied lon—to show, if they can, an: fraud in the applisation for insurance. The policy itself provices, that ‘‘if it shall be found that the said applica- tion is in apy respect untrue, or that there is any mis- representation or concealment, the coatrac: spall be votd.’’ But have the defendants, in fact, made tad such discovery? In their answer they allege that they heve— they are mformed, they say, and veriy belleve, that the statement in the application of the tiff was “‘untrae and fraudulent, and # misrepreventation made in effect. ing eaid inauraoce.” But where is their inftrmant? Why was he not put on the stand asa witness? Itis = familiar rule that fraud is not to be presumec—it must be pr roved by sufficient evidence, and preved by the party who al its existence. No such evidence was given on the trial before Mr. Justice Monis—none, at allevents of s chsracter to warcent the Court in e 5 on the trial appeared to have assumed throughout that the ol the proot was on the plaiotiff. In this we think they were mistaken. Fire policies usually provide thet in case of lors there shall be proof, not only of the fire, but of the amount of Camage. Li e policies contain no such condition. This policy, at all events, did not. Th thorities cited on the argument, thertfore, are, to a great extent, insppiicable, Judgmext for the plaintiff affirmed. ‘The Steamship Edinburg. 'O0 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
