He moreover anticipates an increase of reve- nue under the new tariff, which will be in operation on the Ist of July next. In view of these considera- tions, Secretary Cobb has already, it is stated, de- termined to recommend to Congress, in his report, an extension of the schedule of articles of merchan- dise on which no duties shall be levied. A list of the promotions and appointments in the army since September last may be found under the telegraphic head. ‘We have received a copy of the address and plat- form adopted by the National American Council, recently in session at Louisville; but the press of | Jocal matters of importance upon our columns con- | strains us to defer placing these documents upon record anti] a more convenient opportunity presents | ‘iteei!. A borrible tragedy occurred in First avenue, near Twenty second street, yesterday morning. A woman named Eliza Shaw, was found lying in the yard attached to her dwelling, with ber throat cut and body horribly mutilated. Her husband, Thomas | Shaw, bas been arrested on euspicion of having murdered her, and is now confined inthe Eighteenth | ward station house, until the matter bas been inves- tigated by the Coroner. In the room occupied by the prisoner and his wife was found a large pool of blood and a razor covered with gore. The window sill was also danbed with blood, showing that the | body had either been thrown out of the window or | deceseed had jemped out herself. A good deal of evidence was taken yesterday; but little light, how- | ever, was thrown npon the mysterious aflair. The husband of the deceased protesta his innocence | strongly, and gives a pretty straight account of him- elf. The inquest will be continued again to-day. Elsewhere will be found a fall account of the tragic | affair. The respective Boards of Municipal and State police acthorities are busy on the work of organiza- Gon. Captain Speight went by the Municipal Board, afte: golding out with bis ward quite a length beyond the the time expected for his secession. A division tock place in the Seventeenth ward. The | Mayor eppointed a large number of men to fill va- canocies, and acted on a long List of dismissals for in- eubord ination. Four buoye were loid yesterday in the lower bay | to mark the boundaries of the new Quarantine an- | chorage. The insurgents at Seguine’s Point, it is maid, thought fleet of the enemy were coming to attack them when they saw the approach of the weneels to lay the bucys. Aside from this temporary fright nothing new tounding transpired at the seat of war yes erdsy. At the old Quarantine con- siderable excitement has been cansed by the arrest | of an ind:vidual named Hagaa, who is charged with having vioiated the health laws prohibiting commu- nicetion with veesels placed under quarantine. A | party of citizens sought to rescue the arrested party, but being confronted with Colt’s revolvers in the hands of the cfficers they desisted from their attempt. | ‘Threats were made to burn all the hospital buildings. The Excise Commissioners met yesterday to re ccive applications for license to eel) spiritnous | liquors under the provisions of the new Excise law. | Mr. George W. Mersereau, of No. 983 Greenwich | street, was the only person who presented a peti tion yesterday, and it is understood the liquor | dealers bave come to a determination not to recog- nise the law by presenting petitions, but to defy it by selling liquor without license. The first person arrested for violating the law is to be defended by the associated liquor dealers. We give in another column the form of the license, and a remonstrance of the Temperance Alliance to the course of the Excise Commissioners. In the Board of Aldermen last evening the Com- mittee on Streets made a report relative to cleaning the streets, which was recommitted. Harry Howard's account with the city, while Receiver of Taxes, have been examined by Aldermen Tucker, Blunt and Puilmer, and found entirely correct, showing him to be a faithful public officer. The Board will ‘Tweet every evening until the street cleaning contract is nettied. The Board of Councilmen were in session last evening, and transacted # great amount of routine bosiness. The report of the Committes on Finance in favor of issuing bonds for the purchase of the tate Arsenal property, was received, and in Com. mittee of the Whole was unanimously recommended to a third reading. The resolutions of the Special Committee, recommending the cleaning of the @treeta forthwith, were adopted. The report and resolutions were published in the Haran of Sanday nat. The annual examination of the West Point Mili- fary Academy bas been in progress for several days, and the exercires of the first class concluded yesterday. An address was made to the class by Mojor Chase, of Florida, President of the Board of defendant was held in $2,500 bail to answer the | the November Court of Sessions, but owing to the number of challenges made tne panel was exhausted before the requisite number was obtained.

The sales of cotion yesterday embraced about 1,800 bales, part in transitu, closing weak upon the basis of mid. dling uplands, at 13%¢. Accounts from the South repro- sent the condition of the growing crop as nearly a month later than it was at the same time last year. Flour was in fair demand, with eales at abont the closing quotations of Saturday. Wheat was rathor cheaper and more frecly dealt in, both for cliy milling and for export, Milwaukie chub cold at $1 61.8 $1 52, and common Canadian club at $148.

Colonel Fremont and the New York Herald in the South—Vur Principles and our Polley. Jn another part of this paper we give to our readers, from the Charleston Mercury, what that journal is pleased to call “a correction and amende for misrepresenting, in some respects,” the position of the New York Heraup in the last Presidertial campaign. The Mercury frankly says it was “mistaken in supposing that the Herasip supported Fremont on the same ground on which he received the sup- port of the party,” for that “upon examination of the files” it appears that the HeraLp “iook ground of its own, pecaliar to itself,” &e. But then comes the qualifying and nullifying proviso in reference to Fremont’ election, to wit: that “the Heraxp, as a contribntor to such @ result, me- diate or immediate, whether by design or unin- a was not a friend to the South, or ractically and in substance true to the constitu- tion a8 since expounded.” This left-handed compliment we cannot permit to pass without a word ortwo in reply. We deny the fairness of the position assumed by our Charleston cotemporary and the justice of his inferences in the premises. A brief recapitu- lation of the events and circumstances resulting in the nomination of Col. Fremont for the Presi- dency will be a sufficient answer to this revised accusation against us of hostility in the late campaign to the conttitution and the South. In January, 1856, there were three parties in the field, manceuvring each for the Presidency and a Presidential candidate—the democratic, Know Nothing and republican parties, The de mocracy had geveral candidates in the foreground Pierce, Douglas, Buchanan and Cass, The Know Nothing, or American party had eeveral, the most conspicuous of which were George Law and Millard Fillmore. The Northern rump of the old defanct whig party, re organized into the republican party, were also working for seve- ral candidatee—Jadge MeLean, W. H. Seward, and others. Being under no ebligations to sup- port any party or any candidate, but being absolutely, and in every sense, free to take our choice of parties and candidates, we were in- clined at first to give the American party a lift over the shoals and George Law a good start upon the course, under the impression that there was some good solid timber in him, of a Southern “live oak” quality. But George Law, in the speedy developement of his true character as a self- conceited parvenn and ignoramus, speedily de- feated himself, and was very properly set aside by his party, though in their selection of Mr. Fill- more, “ tried and found wanting,” they hit upon & nomination not exactly fit to be made. Next, looking to the democratic party, we fore- faw, a8 it was easy to foresee, that neither Pierce, nor Douglas nor Cass could be nominated at Cincinnati, considering the tremendous popu- lar Northern reaction, then in fall force, against the Kansas-Nebraska bill and Pierce's Kansas ruffianism. Accordingly, not once but repeated. Jy, the Henany advanced the « ith our reasons for it, that Mr. Buchanan alone, in being ihe candidate of Pennsylvania, and from his alibi on the Kansas-Nebraska bill, commanded the vital advantages required to carry the indie pensable State of Pennsylvania for the democra | ey, and that this consideration would be para- mouat at Cincinnati. Bat, having been assured occasions, in Europe, that he was not a candidate for the Presidency, we took him at his word, and shortly after our retarn to the United States made a nomination of our own in the por- son of Col. Fremont, We took bim up as an in- dependent candfdate, acceptable to the solid masses of the American people, tired of the trick ery of party despotiams, and desirous of an op portunity to act for themselves. Nor did we then, nor can we now, recognise anything unconstitutional or hostile to the constitutional rights of the South, or danger- ous to the safely of the institutions of the South, in our advocacy of Fro mont’ election, As a patriotic man, tested and approved in highly responsible civil and military affairs—ae an educated and talented self- made man, who had rendered invaluable services to the country, to science and civilization—as a man with a clean political record, free from all dabbling in the dirty work of juggling politi- ciane—as a national man from instinct and much observation—as @ Southern man by birth: education and aseociations—as a Union and con- stitutional man, against all factions sectional ultraisme, North or South—and as a new and ‘active man, who would give the country a new and positively usefal administration, we advo- cated Fremont’s election. Through the outside ticket of Fillmore, and through the treachery of Seward and his staf of party managers, Fremont was defeated, notwith- standing he was supported by thousands of old whigs and democrats, and original Jackson men, Clay mex, Fillmore mon, and Pieros, Cass and wept Visiters. Our report elsewhere gives some interest- jug particolars of the proceedings. An ection brought by A. Smith against Andrew J. Conselyes for damages, was concladed in the Brooklyn City Conrt yesterday. The defendant, as alleged, bad seduced the danghter of plaintiff. Hence the suit. The jory rendered a verdict in favor of plaintiff for $10,000, and the priacipal witness of » the Douglas men tbronghout the North, We dare ray that had Seward and bis eelfieh clique really derired it, they could have turned the smal) democretic balance of two thousand votes i the Pennsylvania October — clection into a majority of ten thousand against democracy. This would have carricd ‘Tiony Rore Feats—Fes- | tic affairs of the parties. Mary also expressed her | him to the end of his official term. ‘This is our explanation of our support of Fre- mont aud our sapport of Buchanan. It is simple and consistent, though somewhat perplexing, no doubt, to the servile politician of a party chain gang. With regard to the South, it is our espe- cial pride that steadily, in rain or shine, and Heratp bas steadily vindicated the constitutional rights of the South. Ia this patriotic duty as o Northern journal, the Hgzaxp, until recently, has almost stood alone. We had the friendship of Mr. Calboun from the oatset to the day of his death, and of many otherhigh minded and leading Southern men. And yet we must confess that we have received for years past, out of season and out of reason, more vulgar abuse and dirty per- sonal ecurrility from such noisy Southern politi- cians as Governor Wise, and such ill-mannered Southern journals as the Richmond Enquirer, than waa ever heaped upon Mr. Calhoun himself from Northern abolition fanatics and demagogaes, On the other hand, the statesmen and politicians of South Carolina, with perhaps an exception or to, and such Southern journalsas the Charles- ton Mercury, have in the main, treated us with a spirit of true Southern manliness and ceurtesy which has commanded our respect. But, with or without the consent of Southern ulira politicians or journals, or Northern agita- tors or their organs; regardless, in fact, of nigger worehippers or niger drivers, we shall adhere, as we bave adhered, to the constitation and the Union; and as we have stood we shall continue to stand, above the machinery of sectional disor- ganizers or party managers, and beyond the reach of sectional decrees or party discipline. We have not been, and shall not be, the slave of any man or any faction, or section, or party. Our chart is the constitution—our policy is the main- tenance of the Union. Thus, though in the in- terval we may support the administration of Mr. Buchanan, in 1860 we may contribute to the election of Fremont, Who knows? Tue Mcnicipat, Question Wipentna, — Tho municipal question in this city involved in the opposition raised by the authorities to six or eight usurping acts of the last Legislature is one of the most novel, interesting and important ever raised in any political arena since the days of the Declaration of Independence. This is the first time that the democratic principle of local go- vernment—which is the foundation of all liberty, and the foundation especially of American liber- ty—was endangered by the open and ontrageous attempt of an oligarchy in the State to centra- lize all power within its own hands, and to re- duce the commonwealth of New York to a con- dition of abjeot dependence on the State govern- ment, similar to that which we see existing in France, where the Mayor or municipality of a city cannot open a street, build a dock or do any other little act of local government without the permission or direction of the Emperor. Those atrocious acte, against which there isa general sentiment of condemnation and opposi- tion in this community, sprang from the teeming brains of William H. Seward, Thurlow Weed, Governor King and their confréres, for the par pose of concentrating all the local power of the cities, counties, towns and villages of the State, at Albany, and of controlling thereby the political destinies of New York in all futare operations, This treasonable conspiracy against the republi- can institutions of the country was first indicated by an open attack on the chartered rights and the municipal privileges of the city of New York and of the city of Buffalo, If these first attacks from the mouth of Mr. Buchanan himself, on two | should provessuccessful, we will goon see the cen- | tral system of police established in every city and | county of the State—we will soon witness the | epectacle of a bureau at Albany dictating and | carrying ‘out measures for the opening of parks, building of city halls, and every other detail of local government for every city, town and village in the State. That is the natural and inevitable re- mit of the principle now sought to be initiated.” Bat happily this first attempt to establish such aa atrocious oligarchy was made upon the city of | New York, where intelligence, clearness of vision and determination of character exist in their highest forms. As was to be expected, this legis- | lative encroachment upon our municipal liberties | was promptly met and resisted. The constita- tionality or non-constitationality of these mva- euree is now to be passed upon by the Court of Appeals, and we have every confidence that the decision to be rendered by that court of last re- sort will prevent any future repetition of the experiment of trampling upon the chartered and inchoate rights of a free municipality, Meanwhile, the movement in opposition made | by the Mayor and Corporation of this city, iseach day {ncreasing and widening in its insloonce; and we have every reason to believe that at the noxt fall election the great maases of those who last year formed the bulk of the Fremont ; party, and the bulk of the Fillmore party in this city aad State, will cordially and unanimously unite in one common phalanx to rebuke and put down forever this attempt at revolution, this effort to overthrow local govern- ment, made by the Central Club organized at Albany under the auspices of Weed, Seward & Company. The friends of Fremont, who brought him forward last year ia opposition to the tools of Seward, are independent repablicana, They are supporters of the great democratic principle of free local institutions; and they never will act with or snpport any party whose programme is to overthrow municipal rights, and centralize all local governments throughout the State in a bu- reau in Albany. The same may be said of the friends of Fillmore, We have reason to believe that movements are now on foot among the macees of both theee designations to yr a grand union for the purpose of putting dows ‘valiog and crushing forever this usurpatory achems on the part of Seward, Weed and their awociates, Tr Sovruens Coxvetion.—We published yesterday a report of a much more sensible Southern Convention than usnal—we mean the one held at Bristol, Tenneseee, for the purpose of inviting the proprietors of the Great Eastern to run ber to Norfolk, Va. ‘The iden of persuading the proprietors of tho through good and evil report, the New Yorx | clption for Fremont, ia spite of | Australian steampacket line to substitate Norfolk for Melbourne in their plans is pretty cool; bat we are glad to see anything practical in the oon- ventions and agitations of our Southern frienda They are too much given, as a rule, to whine and complain of the North, and to dilate on vagae Astoa steamship line to Norfolk, the Vir- gipians, Kentuokiaue and Tennesseeans ought, first, to create a trade for tho line to carry on. Steamships cost a great deal of money, and it re- quires a considerable traffic to sustain an ocean line. The Southern people do not produce enough surplus (with the exception of cotton) to sustain such a line, as yet; they must procure labor to open up their couatry, and try to en- courage immigration; they must induce the great tide ef immigrants to divide themselves mere equally between North and South; they must work harder and give loss time to horse racing, politics, and smoking segars. When these re forms are efficted it will be time enough to think about steamship lines. THE LATEST NEWS. News from Washington.

ABBIVAL OF THE SORVEYOR-GEWERAL OF UTAH— HIS OPINION OF THE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN THE TERRITORY, BTC. Wasemvcro, June 8, 1857. David H. Burr, Surveyor General of Utah, bas arrived at hiz bouse in this city, Mr. Burr states, in conversation with friends, tbat the hormon Legion is poorly equipped, and that 10,000 Urited states troops would effectually overawe thom. Before he left Utah the Mormons had not beard of the intention of the government {) send a force thither, but they frequontiy laughed at tho idea of the go- vernment compelling them to obey the federal laws, and cited the failuro of the governmant to put down the dis- turbance in Kansas as evidence of its inefficiency. He eupposes that one third or half of the Mormons, who are diegusted with Brigham Young's tyranny, would rise again him were they protected by the United States troops. Mr. Burr does mot apprehend that (he Mor- mons will ehow fight, it is the duty of every good Mormon to obey the church as the bigher law: and hence the opinion iz entertained that Brigham Young way leave the Territory with a large force of his dolnded fui lowers, provided he can find some other seat for his gov- ernment. Mr Burr says that Salt Lake is the meanest seulement he ever beheld, everything having the ap- pearance of abject poverty. Young's word is law, and the oppressions of the Mormons are cruel, and withost romedy from tbe presont rulers, There are about (ify “Gentiles” only in the Tertitory, and they are the objects of bitter pertecution. According tothe statement of Captain Tyler, who com- manded one of the companies of marines inst Monday, be gave the order after the capture of the swivel from the rioters to flre—the discharges being from one platoon only and irregularly, each of the ma-ines firing as they saw the flashes of pistols discharged at them by the rioters, who fired as they retreated. The company commanded by Capt. Maddox, according to the same authority, did not fire until a marine bad been wounded in tbe cheek, the ball coming out in bis mouth. It is confidently asserted that several of the “ Plug Uglies’ have recently died, while others in Baltimore aro suffering from their wounds, Justice Hollingshead, of the American perty, has refused the application for m warrant for tho arrest of Mayor Magruder, on the charge of murder. The ground of application was that the Mayor had given the order w fire. Many of our moet reepectadle citizens have signed a cal! for a public meeting on Thursday afternoon, to condemn ‘the late riots and sustain the course of the Prosident and city authorities in employing military force to quell the disturban sea. ‘The Secretary of the Navy has not decided whether any of the five steam sloops of war shall be built by private contract, ‘The New Orleans mall as lato as duo isto hand, The papers received say that the accounts of the cropa in Texas were favorable, In Baten Rouge parish tho “borer was doing serious damage w the young sugar cane.
