The News. The proceedings of Congress yesterday were im- portant. In the Senate the bill providing for the employment of five regiments of volunteers was amended so as to reduce the number of regiments to three—one to be employed on the frontiers of Texas and the others in protecting emigrant and govern- ment trains on their way across the Plains—and in that shape passed by*a vote of forty-one to thirteen. In the House the bill for the admission of Kansas ander the Lecompton constitution was amended by substitating for it Mr. Crittenden’s proposition. This was also amended by striking out the portion that prohibited any but citizens of the United States from voting in the Territory upon the question of accept- ance or rejection of the constitution, and in several other but unimportant respects, and the bill was then passed by & vote of one hundred and twenty yeas to one bandred and twelve uays. All the members of the House were present, except Mr. Caruthers, of Mis souri, who has been absent during the entire session on account of sickness... The bill was sent to the Senate, where it will be taken up today, and dis- ‘agreed to, and it will then probably be referred to a joint committee of conference. The Crittenden sub- stitute, as it is called, is a voluminous affair, but its actual provisions are simple. It provides that the Lecompton constitution shall be submitted to the white male inhabitants of the Territory, resident there three months, and qualified to vote by the laws of Kansas. If the majority approve, then ‘Kansas is to be admitted as a State by proclamation of the President. If majority disapprove, then a convention is to be called to forma new constitu- tion, which is to be submitted to a like popular vote. The Legisisture is driving business with great rapidity. About ove hundred bills have been rushed through within the past two days. Our despatches contain all the proceedings that are of local interest. A meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held last evening. Several new members were elected. The Committee on Location announced that they had selected a suit of rooms on the corner of Cedar sed William streets, and J. Smith Homans was cho- gen as Corresponding Secretary. The annual fees of the members were increased from $3 to $10. Letters from Hon. John Cochrane and the Secretary of the Treasury were presented in reply to a memo- rial from the Chamber in relation to grievances in the customs business, in which the Chamber was as- sored of the willingness of the department to give them every facility, and that the third resolution in the memorial would be complied with. The subject of wharf regulations was also discussed at length, and # motion was carried to give expression to the views of the Chamber against # measure on the sub- ject now before the Legislature. The endorsement of the Chamber was given to a bill before Congress, on the subject of institating a uniform code of maritinn: signals. The pre liminary examination of Wm. A. Harden \ brook, charged with libelling Judge Thompson, of (the Marine (,ourt, was continued yesterday before the GRecorder. Th ¢ Judge was cross-examined at length hy defendant's ,counsel, but the evidence was emtire- Ij’ devoid of pr dlic interest. Mr. Hardenbrook charged Judge Ta, *mpson with illegally adjourning n> case of Beilimy &f against Davie, but the com- via inant testified tia. ‘ he knew none of the perties Vibe suit, and that i Was adjourned on one or two regsions at the requag of Mra.

Our correspon! ent at Bridgetown, Barbadoes, writ- fing on the 101'n alt., saym—For the last two weeks there has ben bat one arrival from the United States with Yyreadstufi and provisions, and aa native produce ‘as getting scarce and dear, a better con- samption of American imports is already taking place, and will doubtless increase. The weather coritinues very favorable for the planters, and the ‘are mach further advanced than at this time ast year. The making of sugar is in fuli blast, and the yield will exceed 60,000 hogsheads. The gene- ral health of the island is good. Accounts from De- tate that the Governor of British Giana nerare has received orders from the Home Guarda, Loudon, to have 5,000 coldiers ready to embark for India at k's notice. The troops are to be natives of jidad, Guiana and Barbadoes, and if called upon now the whole are ready. New sugar sells at $38 | great political parties of $3 50, and molasses at 13c. per gallon. Bills on London at thirty to ninety days range from $487 50 a $480 per £100 sterling. ‘The steamships of the Coiling line—the Adriatic, Baltic and Atlantic—were sold at auction yesterday by order of the Sheriff. They were sold together, and brought $50,000. The liens on the property amount to $657,000. Tho vessels are valued at $2,500,000. The purchaser was Dudley B. Fuller, of the firm of Fuller, Lord & Co., iron merchants. An account of the sale is given elsewhere. ‘The Canal Board at Albany have decided upon re ducing the rates of tolls on the oanals. The redue- tion is equal to fifty per cent on merchandise going westward, and twenty per cent on goods shipped for tide water. No day has as yet been fixed for open- ing the canals, but it is supposed that navigation will be resumed by the 20th inst. The Tammany General Committee met last night, bat the attendance was so thin that no business was transacted. Just about this time most of the active Tammany people are engaged in laying the wires for the election of Sachems, which takes place in a few weeks time. The eales of cotton yesterday reached about 1,500 a 2,000 bales, inclading a part in transitu, The market Was somewhat irregular, though middling uplands closed for lots on the spot at abont 117c., while some dealers quoted sales made te some cases at a fraction less. There existed much anxiety to learn the effects of the Persia’s news in New Orleans. Should that market deciine or rise,@ corresponding resuit, it is believed, will be felt here. Flour was firmer, and closed in some cases at a slight advance. The receipte were light and the demand g00d for the Kastward and for export. Tho sales of wheat embraced Genesee spring Gt $1 05, and good Southern red at $118. Corn was without change of moment, while fatr sales of white and yellow were made at Osc. 8 695¢c.8 0c. Pork was without change of moment, while sales were moderate at $16 80 for mess and at $15 70a $13 75 for prime. Sugars were quite steady, while sales were cou- fined to about 300 bhds, and 65 boxes at prices given in another columa. Coffee was firm. About 2,700 bags Rio were told by auction, at about 1c. advance over pre- ‘vious rates; and 1,500 bags of St. Domingo and 400 bags Rio were gold to the trade at prices given in another co lumn. Freights were steady, while engagements for Liverpeol and London were rather better, without change of moment in rates. To the Continent they were quiet aad engagements light at unchanged quotations. Kansas in the House—Parsage of the Critten- den Bil. The “long agony” over Kansas and the Le- compton constitution in the House of Represen- tatives was brought to a focus yesterday, and all speculations as to the division of parties upon the Senate bill are now at an end. The Crittenden bill was substituted by a vote of 120 to 112. and passed by a similar vote, (the fullest House upon record,) when, all parties being eatistied with their day’s work, the House ad- journed. In connection with these proceedings we pub- lish in full the Senate bill and the Crittenden substitute, so that our readers may judge for themselves upon the nice distinctions between the plan of the administration and the last re- sort of the opposition. As we have heretofore stated, the difference between the Senate or ad- ministration bill and the Crittenden scheme is this:—The former admits Kansas at once as a State under the Lecompton constitution, and (notwithstanding the 1864 bugaboo) leaves the people concerned perfectly free to accept, re- ject or modify it at their discretion, while by the latter bill, as “a condition precedent” to the admission of the State, the Lecomp- ton constitution is referred back to another test of the popular vote. Substan- tially, however, whether this or that plan shall finally prevail, the result will be the same; for, in any event, the question has been predeter- mined in Kaneas, so that with or without a con- stitution or an enabling act at this time from Congress, she is positively, overwhelmingly and permanently in the possession of the free State party. So far as Congress is concerned, the action of the House yesterday, instead of settling the question there, only complicates the issue be- tween that body and the Senate. The House bill will go over to the Senate—the Senate, we suppose, will refuse to concur—the House will insist, the Senate will refuse to recede, a com- mittee of conference will then be appointed be- tween the two houses—but what can be expect- edfrom that? Brought to that pase, we pre sume that the committee will find it impossible to agree upon any half-way compromise, and thus both the Senate bill and the House bill will fall through. In the meantime the people of Kansas have been holding another Conven- tion, and while the two houses are squabbling over their respective bills a new constitution may be laid before them, direct from Kansas by the express train. What then? Why, really, it would seem, from present appearances, that the two houses will then be further off from any agreement than they were last Christmas. The question, however, is practically settled. The form of the admission of a new State is im- material when the substance is already secured. The agitation is exhausted, the destiny of Kan- sas is fixed. The decisive and unshrinking poli- cy of the administration has brought out “the sober second thought” of the people of Kansas, and while they are thas content to await the action of Congress and accept the Lecompton or any other constitution, as the hook to hang their kettle on, they are also competent to boil their pot without any special aid from Congress at this session, and without the remotest danger of civil war. But within a few days or weeks some bill will doubtless be passed, and with the passage of any bill the honor of enforcing the settle- ment of this quarrel, and of removing this bone of contention from the demagogues of Congress, may be set down to the resolute purpose of Mr. Buchanan to have this Kansas nuisance abated. Gas Companies.—The bill introduced by Mr. Dayton into the State Legislature for the crea- tion of a Board of Gas Inepection in every city and village where gas ie used, and « general Central Board to meet at Albany, possesses de- cided merita, The Gas Board would be directed to aecertain the quality of the gas sold by each company, and in the event of any decline in the quality of gas sold below a fixed standard, to compel the company to make a reduction in the price. The bill further puts an end to the ar- bitrary and unjustifiable measures by whieh gas companies have heretofore endeavored to extort money from their dealers, such, for instance, as refusing to furnish gas to any house whose last occupent left his bill unpaid. The gas companies sadly require legislative interference. But the greatest of their delin- quencies, the high rates which they charge for gas,can hardly, it is to be feared, be ronched by legislative act. The Legislature has no con- stitutional authority to fix the price of any arti- cle sold. In the absence of power to control them in this particular, this bill of Mr. Dayton’s seems the next best thing: and we hope it will pes NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1888. For the last forty years, alternately upon money question and the the beak vetoes of John Tyler, day slavery and niggers, in form, have ruled the roast. slavery agitation is, in ite close, and once again, in all ite breadth, and height ard depth, the money quos- tion looms up in the foregroand. Let the final decision in Congress upoa this Kansas ineue be what it may, all that qill be left of this four years’ agitation and its tremen- dous consequences to sections and factions, and i Kunens squabble as you may, the credit, after all, will properly belong to the firm and inflexi- ble course of Mr. Bachanan, and bis fixed and upalterable resolution to bring this trowblesome business to an end. Practically it makes very lit- tle difference whether the Lecompton constitu- tion, pure and simple, or with this or that proviso, or whether the Crittenden amendment shal! be- eome the law, or whether Congress shail fail to pass any law upon the subject, because the des tinies of Kansas are in the bands of the free State party there, beyond the reach of any con- stitution, condition or construction which Congress may adopt. Regarding this subject, therefore, as already disposed of, and this nigger agitation as al- ready exhausted, we look about us to see what other issues, of a foreign or domestic charac- ter, will take the place of Kansas, slavery, and the “slave oligarchy.” In our exterior rela- tions we perceive that Mexico and Cuba are in a most interesting situation; but they stand out aa yet very dimly, mere purple shadows in the horizon, like distant mountains through the hazy atmosphere of an Indian summer day. ‘They may be nearer to us than they seem, but still, under the misty exhalations which sur- round them, their exact outlines and propor- tions cannot be defined. On the other hand, distinct, lofty, vast, rugged, “grand, gloomy and peculiar,” like the Alps with the declining sun over them, all the great and comprehensive necessities and issues of the day growing out of the late wide-spread finanoial revulsion, rise up immediately before us. The money queetion, in all its most compre- hensive forms and bearings, then, is the ques- tion which will take the precedence with the dispersion of the smoke and dust of this Kansas agitation. In regard to Mexico and Cuba we must await the ripening of events; but in refe- rence to the commercial and financial interests and necessities of the American people, of all clasees, parties and sections. there is an univer- sal call for relief. It is, therefore, upon this broad and general subject of financial and com- mercial relief for the present, and financial se- curity and uniformity for the future, that par- ties in Congress and throughout the country are most likely to be re-organized for 1860. The President, in his annual message, has thrown ont some valuable suggestions upon this money question, which may yet become the basis for the reunion and consolidation of the democracy. The Judiciary Committee of the Senate have taken up the matter with direct re- ference to that enlarged policy of the general government which shall cover s safe and uni- form financial system for the whole country. And in the discussion of the general subject we apprehend that a division of parties and party interests will take place similar to that which followed the declaration of war by Gen. Jack- son against the United States Bank, and its de- pendent local monopolies and corporation aux- iliaries of all descriptiona. In that tremendous war Gen. Jackson and his party had the advan- tages to start upon of the possession of the gov- ernment and the spoils of the treasury—the power of which was aptly confessed at that very time in Mr. Calhoun’s derisive observation con- cerning the “cohesive power of the public plun- der.” The whig party, having no other re- source for the sinews of war, naturally fell in with the United States Bank, the manufactaring corporations of the North, and their affiliated mo- nopolies of capital and government privileges. In this way the whig party became a sort of ruffled shirted moneyed aristocracy, while the masses of the American people made up the invincible legions of the “fierce democracie,” So at the present crisis, upon a general Bank- rupt bill like that proposed by Mr. Toomba, comprehending voluntary and compulsory bankruptcy, and banks and all sorts of corpo- rations, as well as individuals, we think that something very much like the old Jackso- nian reconstraction of parties will follow. The democracy have the spoils and patronage of the government; the opposition factions will necessarily be driven to the banks and rail- ways and manufacturing corporations for that “material and financial aid” without which no party can be kept together. Thus the party in power, asin the days of Jackson, may within tue next year or two become the party of the people, as contradistinguished from the party of the banks, railroads and privileged monepolies and classes, We speak thus plainly because we believe the initiative movement in this recon- struction of parties to be close at hand, from the pressure of the money question upon Con- gress. and from the manifest tendencies of the existing parties there to the old landmarks re- spectively of the Jacksonian epoch. At all events, we are in favor of a general bankrupt or relief law, which shall include banks and all other corporations, as wet! as in- dividuals, and compulrory 4s well as voluntary bankruptey; and which hail also include such checks and safegnards for honest men against individual or confederate rogues as will give the whole country and all its parts some posi- tive securities hereafter against these rascally paper inflations and their ruinous revulsiona. In this connection, a ¢onsolidation of our New York city banks into one, instead of alarming anybody, or becoming an engine of despotism, may be made a useful regulator for the whole country, under some wise and judicious checks and balances of # general lew. Let the demo- cracy of Congress take up the suggestions of the President, and they can lay the ground- work for a certain triumph in 1460, and for a lease of power, perhaps, for twenty years to come. Tacks ov Tar Bears.-A few weeks ago all Wall street was hard at work putting stocks up, and inflating everything, the good, bad, and in- different, by every means in their power. Now, they seem to be on the other tack. ‘The last ideas of the bears, which are put forth with a view of depressing stocks, are that war is obout to tmret forth between England ard France, and that the Union isto be dis- solved in consequence .of the Kansas vote. Really the bears are falling off in their imagi- ontive powers, Can they think of no trick newer and more striking than theset Can they not etart a story that Engiand is going to war with us because Mr. Reed is not joining the al- Mes in Chinat Can it not be discovered that General Lane is about to march on Washington at the bead of a hundred thousund abolitionists from Kansas, or that Marsbail Keitt, with a pateb over the place where he struck Grow’s fist with his head, is about to lead an army of fire- eaters North to ewck and burn Bostou? ‘These conarda would be pretty effective in de- pressing stocks, we should think; more so than the idle trash which now seems to be convulsing Well street. ‘The Relations between England and France. ‘The Persia brings intelligence that the Em- peror of the French hes iseued orders for his gary to be put on s war footing, while, on the otber hand, the British goverament have di- rected their coast defences to be examinod, and and M. de Welewski had entirely and alto- gether buried the batchet. The Eaglish, of course, need, even in times of piping peace, not to let their coast fortifications fall into decay: they require men for India, and they may aa weil be trained to act in nmsses at home; the French navy will shortly be required to ander- take the promised expedition against Cochin China, and will require a uavy fer this, not to speak of other naval enterprises nearer home. So that, on the whole, these several movements of the two nations can certainly be explained without necessasily expecting a war between England and France. But, considering every- thing, this peaceful explanation of the pheno- mena is hardly as plausible as another. What passed at the interview of Stutigurt no one bas ever known, Recent events have re- vived the old inquiry-What passed on that occasion between the Emperor of the French ‘and the Emperor of Rusia! War it a second meeting of Tilsit, at which the Emperors agreed upon « fresh partition of Burope into Empires of the West and the Hast, with Russia as the nucleus of the one, and France the heart of the other! In bow perilous a position the Emperor stands, every mail tells numerous stories. Think of that stified groan— Vive fo republique! — which rose from the lips of two bandred thou- sand Frenchmen as Orsini’s head fell into the basket! There is need of plenty of tried soldiers to keep down that mob, or there will very quickly an end of the Empire. And how is the rot to keep well with the anti- British soldiery, if he insists on pretending that he plays the part of the humble, dependent. aad submissive ally of England! On one «ide—a gulf—abandoument by the soldicry, and the fall of his dynasty; on the other—another gulf, war with England. Apparently he must choose between them. In the event of a war with England the chances are that at firet success would rest with France. Her army is much larger and better disciplined than that of Hogland; ber capacity for throwing one or two hundred thousend men on the British shore, in the course of a few hours, by means of steam vemels, and har- rying them to London is undoubted; and if the mancuvre were undertaken vigorously and swiftly at the outbreak of a war, the imme- diate result would probably be successful. Of gE | course, in course of time, it would be as impo sible for a hundred thousand Freuchmen to maintain themselves in London, a» it would be for a like number of Englishmen to occupy Paris, or Frenchmen @ hold New York; in course of time, the invaders would be igno- miniously expelled. But this would be but the least part of the reprisals which England would forthwith undertake. She would at once pro- ceed to organize and subsidize the republicans of France and Europe. Through the exiles who would hasten home to take part in a revolution, the would scatter a few millions of pounds ster- ling throughout Paris, Rouen and Lyons, and the empire would be overthrown in six weeks Such is the inevitable prospect In the event of a war between France and England, and the only question is whether the pressure which the army and the agricultural classes are exerci+ iug against the Emperor, in consequence of his adherence to Great Britain and to the Kaglish alliance, is sufficiently powerful to make bim perceive that the evils we have described as certain to follow a rupture with Kngland are after all less than those which he would have to encounter by retaining her friendship. Tue Dover-Heaven Barren Mowsioy. Now that the Palmerston Ministry has gone out, we may perhaps expect a settlement of the cu- rious double headed mission at Washington. We believe that no one—not even these gentle- men themselves—has ever understood precisely the duties of Lord Napier and Sir William Gore Ouseley, or their relations to each other. Per- haps it would be better for the interests of Great Britain in this country to define the posi- tion of these officials more accurately.
