———— Z pail thereoa. A new doctrine had been propesed in the Conieined Court there. Some members have gone thetength of saytng thatthe resolutions of one court ‘ere not binding upon its successor. The Governor held a levee in honor of her Majesty's tirthday. The weather was very unfavorable. ‘The’particulars of a ‘fats! affray whidh ocourred ait’ Foct Washington On Sunday last, will be found ie ourpaper to-day. It‘appears that a man named Geerge Bolster, for sme time in the employ of Mr. Joln M. Hopkins, as coachman and gardener, had ‘dbsented himself the greater part of Sunday, and re- “turned bome in the afterncon in a state of intexica- ‘tion, He immediately went to bed and asiesp. On "being awakened ‘ty his employer: to obtain a key in his possession, ‘Bolster became terribly enraged and gttacked Mr. Hofkins in the most-savage manner. After receiving tome severe injuries, Mr.‘H. escaped from the madman, who became perfectly furious and upgovernable. Efforts were made to pacify him without enc:era, and he attacked a brother in-law of Mr H.'s, who had been attracted by the noise. An neffectual attempt was made to shoot him, when an urknown man struck him several blows with a stick. Bolster fei and remained insensible-untit his death, which took place in fifteen mimutes ‘after the blows were inflicted. Coroner Hill held-am inquest on the body yesterday, but the proceedings are not yet closed. The unknown man who struck the fatal blow has disappeared and cannot be found. The examination in the case of the alleged slaver Braman was resumed yesterday. The day was oc- cupied principally in’ the crossexamination of the captain of the vessel. ‘The sales of cotton yesterday were only about 500 @ 600 bales: the. market closed firm. The’ transac- tions within the last few days have been based upon middling uplands at about 11jc., Mobile do. atlijc. and New Orleans at lijc. Flour was in fair demand, with eales at about the quotations of Saturday last. Wheat was in good request, but heavy for inferior and common grades, and firm for choice lots: fair white. Canada sold at $175 and cheice at a figure or two sbove-$1 83. Among the sales were 600 bushels prime new wheat from Geor- gia, consisting of red, which sold at $170, and of white, which sold at.$1 80. Distilling corn sold at 45c.: a ‘46c., -sound Western mixed at 53c., and prime Southern yellow at 6lc., which was one cent better. Pork was firmer, Sales of mess were made at-$20 a $2025. Sagara were active, with sales of 1,500 a 2,000 bhds., in- oluding 352 hhde. Porto Rico, to go to Cincinnati, all at full prices. The stock consisted of 50,291 hhds., 37,155 of which were: Cuba muscarado, and 7,222 boxes and no-bags. Coffee was quiet and the stock large, which consisted of 71,542 bags, of all kinds, 43,693 of which were Rio, and 40,000 mats Java. Included in the stock were 8,700 bags Ceylon. Freights were firmer. To Liverpool, wheat was en- gaged at Od. a 9id.,in bulk and bags; and flour at 2s. 74d..a 22. 9d. Rates were also firm to London, and steady for Continental ports. The Proceedings in Congress Yesterday— Kansas and the Tinkers in Washington— The Truc Constitutional Policy. The proceedings in Congress yesterday were very interesting. The Kansas imbroglio, the sla- very question and the exigencies of this Presi- dential campaign have brought all the party tinkers in hoth houses te their feet. Look at the following list of expedients for the pacification of -Kanvas and the settlament of the slavery issue there, all introduced into the Senate within the last few weeks, and then.read what was done yes- terday, in another column:— First. The plan of W. H. Seward, providing for the admission of Kaagas into the Union forth- with,.as.a free State, according to the constitu- tion. of the Topeka free State-party Convention, Seeond. The first bill of Mr. Douglas, providing Kansas may be admitted into the Union th or without slavery (squatter sovereignty), when the Territory shall have secured the 93,000 population required for a representative in Con-' gress, aceording to the existing ratio of federal’ representation. Third. Mr. Clayton’s bill, which abolishes al! the existing offensive and uaconetitutional laws and tests imposed upon the people of Kansas by the Legislature of the “border reffians,” and peovides forthe appointment of Commissioners by the Secretary of State to take a census; and also for the election of a new Legislature, &.; and finally, for the admission of Kansas as a State, when she shall have accumulated the re- quirel population for one member of Congress. Fourth. The bill of Mr, Toombs, which provides, umler the auspices and management of the admi- nistration, for the immediate admission of Kan- sas into the Union as a State, without regard to population. Fifth, The proposition of Mr.Geyer, of Missou- ri, which contemplates the election of a new Ter- ritorial Legislature, under a more rigid protec- tion of squatters’ rights, and the repudiation of the existing Legislature, without any provision for a State government. Sixth. The proposition of Mr. Crittenden to send out General Scott to Kansas, for the pur- pore of reducing the belligerents to good beha- viour, and to maintain law and order in the Ter- ritory. These are among the late Kansas expedients offered in the Senate, and upon which, yesterday, Mr. Douglas, from the Committee on Territories, made a volumnious report—all of the aforesaid projects having been referred to the said com- mittee. In the House there have not been quite “© many schemes submitted on the subject, al- though Kansas has been the standing dish of that body since the first Monday in December. The committee of three detailed to the Territory to collect testimony concerning the allegations against the Missouri invaders, have returned, and their report is ready, we understand, for delivery to the House, full of vouchers of lawless out- rages, illegal legislators, and unconstitutional pains and penalties upon a free people. Yester- day the House was engaged upon the bill for the admission of Kansas asa free State. It failed. (See our Congressional report.) All experimente, however, for the relief of the Territory from her prevent troubles will most likely fall between the two wings of the Capitol, the House being too decidedly no-tlavery and the Senate too pro. slavery for any half-way compromise. But nous verrons. The most remarkable feature in thie business in the Senate is the change which seems to have come over the mind of Mr. Douglas since the nomination of Colonel Fremont, Les than a month ago Mr. Douglas was in favor of exacting of Kansas the Congressional ratio of 93,000 popu- lation, as the first imperative qualification for her adsteion into the Union. Now, it seems the Chairman on Territories has come to the conelu- sion that the regular representative ratio of population may be dispensed with, and Kansas may be admitted much earlier than he at first believed would be compatible with the policy of the democratic party—which is to make of Kan sas a slave Mite. The Anti-slavery Vigilance Committee at Waabington say that Dr. Striagfet- low and Gen. Whitted), fresh from the battle flelde of Lawrence ond Ossawotomie, have inti maicd—the free State squatters being pretty thoroughly cicared out of the Territory, bag and baggage, by the last hostile invasion from Mix NEW YORK HERALD.

In the Senate Mr. Douglas reported a ill providing for the admission of Kansas into the @nion. The main features of this measure have deen heretofore given in our colamns, but oar read: ara will find them set forth with greater partica- larity under the telegraphic head. In the House the bill for the admission of the Territory with the free Btate coustitution adopted at Topeka, was de. feated by a majority of one vote—106 members voting in favor of the bill and 107 against it. This result, as unexpected as it was disheartening to the nigger worshippers, was brought about by a anion ef the conservative elements. There seems now to be no dgubt of the passage in both howes of the bill imtroduecd in the Senate by Mr. Douglas. ‘We bare Bermuda papers to the 18th of June. The flagstip Boscawen, 70 guns, Capt. Glanville, with the Admiral on board, left on the 13th of Juge for Halifax. The steam frigate Euryaius, a magoiicent war veseel,.was momentarily looked for. The ac- eounts of the public treasury exhibit a balance of revenue over expenditure, at the end of March, 1866, of £1,100. We are also told that the revenue for the quarter, which ended on the 30th of June, promised to reach a very satisfactory amount. Later advices fram Venezuela, by way of Demarara, state that the outbreak in Venezuela, already re- ported, had become very serious. Brucho, Morine, and the two Figaros, leaders of the revolution, had taken four towns, end were marching on Bolivar. ‘They bad seized tro English schooners and pat ‘two British subjects to death.

The Surinam Courant states that the number of slaves in Surioam on the Ist of January, 1556, was as tollows:—Be longing 1 private individugls—males, 4,032; f@ males, 4,934—totai, 6,966; belonging to planters— anales, 14,190; females, 14,942—tetal, 29,132. These was 38,098. A prociamation had boea issued hy the Governor of Surinam respecting the eanitary rego- lations to be observed with regard to vessels coming from places where yellow fever is prevaient. Pro- dace was selling—sugar at #9 51 per ewt.; rum, #1 25 per gallon. ‘We have news from British Guiana to the 10th of Jane. In the Combined Court on Jane 6th the fol- lowitig was proposed: That this court requests the Governor to urge upon her Majesty's government the jnatice and expediency of extending to the sa- get duties the principle which regulates the tea @uties, by imposing in the rom of the present duties ‘one fixed rate upon sugar of all qualities from all countries. In the Comaittee of Ways and Means it ‘was agreed that the exporters of duty-paid goods boul be entitled t9 drawback to the amount of duty fouri—that now is tie time for applying the doc- trie of squatter severeignty, before the abolition adventurers recover from their fright ‘and come ‘ack again, Sharp idea that; for if a law were passed at once providing for a State convention of the people of Kansas forthwith, undey the aus- pices ef this Pierce administration, very likely a State constitution recognizing the existence of the institition of slavery would ‘be the resutt. But as the concurrence of a Nofhern House of Representatives will be required before a plan of this.seré can be put into operation, we fear thet the Northern Aid Societies will have reinforced their wasted ranks in Kansas in time to take a hand in this game of squatter sovereignty. Alas for the follies of our narrow-sighted poli- ticians and President mekers at Washiegton! “The proof of the pudding is in the eating there- of.” Squatter sovereignty is a farce. The legis- lative supervision of ‘Congress is supreme over the Territories; the -executive autherity of the President is smpreme, as shown in the working of thi8 fdentical Kansas-Nebraska bill, even upon the subject:of slavery. The hostile abolition squatters and border ruf- fians have trampled squatter sovereignty under foot, dt is a humbug. Mormon polygamy reigns over Utah under the plea of squatter sovercignty, and makes it a nuisance. Mr. Douglas himself, when pushed for a definite imterpretation, carries this bantling of squatter sovereignty into the Supreme Court, and, dropping ‘it there, comes:away and washes his hands of the whole business. Gen. Cass es- says to help bim to a right understanding of the problem; but even Gen. Cass, with each succeed- ing effort to.get out, only gets deeper into the swamp, a8 Mr: Clayton does imhis successive ex- planations of ghe Clayton-Bulwer treaty. The repeal of the Missouri Compromise was right and proper. It was the repeal of an uncon- stitutional Presidential electioneering armistice. This repeal, however, was not a discovery of Mr. Douglas or Mr. Pierce. Mr. Dixon, a whig of Kentucky, threw it into the Senate as an experi- mental bomb shell, and no man can deny that it has made a magnificent explosion among the old party creckery. From the very outset, how- ever, we advocated the repeal of that Missouri Compromise,.and because it was a compromise outside of the. constitution, and :amust sooner or later be set aside. .It was the influence of the in- dependent press: of the North that first brought Mr. Douglas and Mr, Pierce to the happy thought that something might be made out ef Mr. Dixon’s motion; for what had either Mr..Pierce or Mr. Douglas to fear,with the South at his side and the constitution.at his back? So the Missouri Compromise was repealed, and equatter sovereignty was proclaimed the law of the ‘Territories. But in the subse- quent follies, imbecilities and recklea: blunders of Mr. Pierce, first to conciliate the North, and secondly to “curry favor with the South;” and in the close attachment of Mr. Douglasto the ad- ministration, both. our little President and the. “ Little Giant” have failed to make it pay ex- penses, Squatter sovereignty has been tried and found wanting. Jt means civil war in Kansas, and the most infamous of beastly abominations in Utah. It is neither the thing for good morals, freedom nor slavery. What is to be done? Let us return and se if the way of safety is not marked out in the constitution. The federal constitution is the binéing agree- meut of a copartnership of States and sections. ‘There are concessions to the «mall States by the great States; and there are concessions, broad, large, conspicuous and. liberal, from the North to the South, upon the anhject of slavery. Thus, for the “ sake of a more perfect union” @ repre- ventation of three-fifths of the Southern slave po- pulation was conceded is the federal enumeration for Congress; and so, likewise, “for the geveral welfare” the framers of the constitition provided for he return of the fugitixe slaves to their. was ters It may, in truth, be said that we are in- debted Sor this union of these #tates to these cen- cessionsof the North to the Sowth and to Southern slavery, in the framework of the constitution. The great object sought and eonceded was a self-sustaining balance of power te the people, to the States—to the small States against the larger States, and to the Southern slave States against the Northern States. This latter feature of self- protection, in the several concessions to the South is particularly conspicuous, What is the lesson thus taught us? It is the lesson of conciliation and concession, The origi- na) bulwar bof the South, of a three-fifths repre- sentation of their slaves, has been overborne by the overwhelming increase of the white popula- tion of the North. The South has fallen back upon that protection accorded to the small States against the large States, to wit: aa equali- ty of representation in the federal Senate. Here the Southern breakwater against Northern en- croachments was maintained til the adinission of California, which, giving to the North sixteen States to fifteen Southern States, places the South in a minority of two members, even in the Se- nate. The South are sensitive against any fur- ther additional weight to this Northern prepon- derance; and hence the intensity of this Kansas excitement, But squatter sovereignty, even should it be successful by any sort of manage- ment, in securing Kansas to the South, will af- ford only temporary security. We must go back to the constitution and its spirit of compromie and concession, ‘or the Union is worth a sacri- fice or two of sectional pride, any day—especially to us of the North, ‘The true policy, then, in reference to the Ter- ritories, in connection with the slavery question, is hereafter to letina free State anda slave State together. According to the terms of the annexation of Texas, that State at any time, when the people thereof are ready, may be divid- ed into three slave Staten, Here, then, is an off- set at once against two additional free States; and when Texas is exhausted, some of the other large Southern States may be advantageourly di- vided, and thus the South may indefinitely be se- cured, by abalance of power in the Senate, against any unconstitutional Northera encroach- ments, and without the necessity of any hotbed experiments of squatter sovereignty or filibuster- ing raids into the territories of other nations, Meantime, we apprehend that the proposition of Mr. Crittenden to send out Gen. Scott, or some euch impartial officer, for the enforcement of law ard order in Kanens, is the best plan of peace for the present. Gen. Scott has had some experience in South Caroling and along our Canadian fron- tiers as the guardian of peace and neutrality From the composition of thie Congress we can expect nothing better than what Mr. Crittenden propotes, although the proceedings in Washing- ton yesterday indicate otherwise ; but from the exigencies of the « «¢ th’'s at least should be pro vided for the j rotection of the peaceable settlers of Kanens. sal in consideration of “a decent respect for the op.nions of mankind.” NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JULY 1, 18586. | established, has heen t Persowalities—Periodical Violence. Every four years the politics of the country become exacerbated and ferocious, At the very momertt when the press should be most wise, most fair and most considerate, it grows wild and rabid, and welcomes to its columns the most vi- tuperative assaults. , The politicians of the country appear to be under similar excitement, and do not cool down even in November. Perhaps the climate, and the hot weather, and the custemary beverages of our excitable countrymen, have something to do with it, and if so it would be a capital idea to have all our electioneering and voting come off about February or March. The previous snows and ice, and the impassability of the streets, would have a decided effect on the most fiery of our patriotic clectioneerers, But at all events there is no necessity for the vile personality which prevails to such an extent at our Presidential elections, During the time of De Witt Clinton, certainly the greatest and wisest Governor we ever had in this State, an attack was made by a New York paper on the character of Genera] Jackson’s wife, for the purpose of damaginghim. The General, in all the trials and difficulties of his career, never felt a blow 80 keenly as this, His friend Governor Clinton sym- pathized with him deeply, and in a message which he sent the Legislature, he animadverted severely upon the spirit which dictated such fe- rocious assaults, But no Clinton lives to rebuke it now. The elective franchise is but another name for unbounded license .of speech, and the ballot box the receptacle of printed curses. We owe much of this decline in the public taste to the influence of certain journals amongst us, whose vocabulary contains cbjurgations and monosyllabic vulgarisms of the lowest order. If the mild and thoughtful poet of the Post should breathe an opinion unpleasant to the vegetarian philosopher of the 7ritune, the answer is, “ You lie, you villian, you lie!” If the dapper little Lieutenant Governor should give offence by any of his smooth and sleek combinations at Albany, the charge of vil- lany is at once put forth against him, with the most unkind allusions to the littleness of the stature of the inquisitive modern Zaccheus. When Mr. Fillmore was honored with a public reception, well.meant, if it was not overwhelming, we find a journal of the school we have men- tioned, using its columns to abuse and falsify the whole proceedings, and to bring into ridicule a highly respectable man and citizen. Now that Col..Fremont has suddenly become a distinguished candidate for the Presidency, and every step seems bringing him nearer to the White House, a avholesale lie about the “ woolly horse” has become the staple of the opposition ; his private life, and the circumstances of a romantic marriage are paraded before the pub- lic ; and when the halcony of his house fell down, under the weight.of the admiring crowds, a yell of delight was sent up by the blackguards, who had “ nothing else to offer.” Even Mr. Buchanan does not escape the atten- tion of these retailers of personality. His bachelor habits and his recent drinking lager bier at Lan- caster with his German friends, have not been allowed to pass unassailed. What has all this to do with the capacity, public services and real eminence of our distin- guished men? Let the canvass be conducted fairly and honor- ably. We do our. country no credit by imitating ihe language or adopting the manners of foul mouthed editor To playful wit we have no objections ; in an exposure of inconsistency there can be no harm; in an examination of public measures there is no impropriety ; but we object to the base practises which are grown so general, of using the weapons of gross personality against all who come before the American people as can- didates for their highest favors. When Governor Marcy's charge for patebing bis pantaloons was made known at the office of Thurlow Weed, aud put immediately forth in a handbil, as was the fashion in those days, it was thought bis ruif was secured! It turned out quite the contrary. He was elected Governor without a why or a where- fore. The patch was a strengthening plaster. Let the “rummagers” in dirty clothes shut up their barkets. It is of no use. The English Press, Jourvaliem in England has not hitherto been much expanded, Ite progress has been slow, and whileit has been gradually approaching en- tire freedom, its range and its influence have been Limited. Such has been the severity of le gal control—a real censorehip—such the tax upou wdvertiee ments, and such the restrictions of the stamp office, that the circulation of new+papers has never borac a fair proportion to the number of the reading population. A more liberal poli- cy has, however, latterly prevailed, and acts of Parliament are going into operation by which the stamp duties and the tax on advertisements have been in the one case abolished, in the other reduced one-half, or certainly to such an ex- tent that the prese is at last in a great degree emancipated. The consequences are inevitable. The prese of England is about to be revolution- ized. Already there are three weekly papers pub- lished in London—Reynold’s Journal, Lloyd's Journal and the Family Herald—whose aggregate circulation is about four hundred thousand per week. Hitherto their sphere bas been that of tales of the melodramatic order, and their readers have “supped on horrors.” Several penny daily papers have recently been started in London and the chief provincial towne, bat their efforts have been failures, be- cause they have not been well conducted. The pioneers in all enterprises of this sort rely on a popular idea, without being able to meet it, just as our hardy pioneers of the West, with « large reliance on accidental values, pounce upon sections of land, which they cultivate inade- quately, and then quit for experience and capital to take their place. Even the oldest, most influential and well con- ducted English journals have had hard work to reach their present palmy condition. The best London newspapers, such ae the Times, have in the aggregate only a circulation of about 70,000, and they are sold at four pence, about eight cents of our money, which keeps them out of the hands of the middle and lower clasees, It is quite common for people in very decent circumstances to hire the reading of a paper, for the cost of the Timer is almost equiva- } lent to the rent of a very good tenement. The difficulty with the penny papers recently s—they have not had yot the means to employ in cirenlating them. The old papers had their agents, their patrons and their peculiar modes of distritmiion. The penny papers had none, In thie dilemma they hag ap resourge byt tg farity. imitate the American policy, inaugurated by the Heratp, to establish carriers for the different wards and precincts of London, and to dispose of their sheets to street salesmen. This plan has been adopted by three penny papers now pub- lished in London, and with proper management, the employment of adequate talent, and with per- severance, the result is a matter of certainty. We therefore look to a complete change in the scope, circulation and influence of the Eng- lish press. A new additional class of patrons is about to be created—those of the lower and mid- dling classes. Large masses of people, who have drunk in their information second hand at the ale houses, will now read and think and judge for themselves, All that is required is the use of skill in management and adaptation to the popular wants, To a certain extent the public taste will have to be catered to, but in a short time it will direct itself. When every la- borer, every operative and shopkeeper, every farmer, will be able to purchase @ news- paper at a penny a day, an element will be created new to the English sys- tem. Its effects upon the existing laws, upon the arrangements of society, and upon the na- tional legislation, may be shadowed forth, but cannot yet be portrayed in all their bearings. One practical view presents itself amid these considerations, It is, that journalism in England is the most inviting field offered for talent and capital that has yet been presented in that coun- try. If the penny press be only well conducted —if it meets the urgent demand of industry, the arts, of political economy and the public wel- fare—its success is inevitable. An entirely new olass of advertisers will make its aj) carance. A thousand wants, a thousand necessities, a thou- sand schemes will be presented to the public which are now in embryo merely, or are stifled by the expenses of publication, The very re- cesses of the English heart will be lighted upand shine through new outlets. Politics will have a wider scope for discussion, public opinion will have a new and a powerful It is obvious that, its old shackles being thrown off, greater latitude of discussion will arise with the ity. It is worthy of notice that the cheap press of England has already assumed a republican tone. ‘The more its numbers increase, the more strength it will gather. It is not chimerical to estimate the circulation of the new penny «periodicals, at the end of ten years, at half a million a day. Who-can tell what will occur when this takes place? What statesman can predict the future of England when public affairs are thoroughly un- derstood and comprehended by the people? What will be the fate of their old institutions, of their laws of primogeniture, of the ascendency of the aristocracy, and ef the character of their laws, when every Englishman is a reader, a thinker and a talker on these subjects, kept up to the work by a daily press, with half a million of cir- culation? We confess, while we recognize the stability of the English character, ita long subor- dination to privileged classes, its revereuce for royalty, and its veneration for the past, we per ceive in the coming revolution of the English press a corresponding revolution in English opin- ions, a change in its domestic affairs and in its foreign policy. This will assimilate that country more clagely to our own; and when its moral influendg god political power go hand in hand with ours Who can tell what will be the fate of the old govern- ments raised on the labors and drenched with the tears of the oppressed? am’s Management.
