Our Southern democratic politicians, though somewhat late in the day, are coming down frankly to the confession that that KanaagNe braeka bill was to the South « grave mistake, a humbug, 8 delusion and # snare; that, in fact, this beantifal epectmen of Southern rights and “popular sovereigaty,”’ secured to the South through the generosity of Mr. Douglas, bas proved to be only another Trojan borse fall of armed men. In 4 short but significant article, which we transfer to these columns from the ew Orleans Bee, the editor mournfully says that “truly the Kansas measure has proved a disastrons blow to the South;” that “it has generated renewed discord, strengthened tree sol), and hopelessly divided the only party tha olaimed an odor of nationality.” What next? The Soath must, of course, pre pare for the desperate but inevitable alternative of disunion. Sweeping bis telescope around the political horizon, our New Orleans cotemporary Is brought to this melancholy conclusion. He mayr, “we are afraid that these spring elections sre only portents of gloomier tidings here- after;” that “wo apprehend that Pennsylvania, Indians and Dlinois, which, by unrivalled tact and unwearied exertion, were saved in 1856 from falling into the free soil quagmire, will return to their wallow, and that before the expiration of the present year every non-slaveholding State fo the Union, with the pomible exception of California, will rally under tho victo- rious standard of black republicaniam.” And theat Why, then we aro told that “the South sill he in e certain and absolute mivority, and may veinly look to the North for sympathy or succor.” There views, at the first glance, wear a very piausiblo complexion, That Kansas Nebraska hill bas been a dieastrous experiment to the South. It came within an ivoh of electing a republican President In 1856 ; it has given the disputed territory to the North, on both sides of the Missouri line ; it will make Kansas the most radicel anti-elavery State in the Union ; it has bopclessly demoralized and broken up the once powerfal Northern democracy ; and the rerults thus far, in the recent epring elections, trom New Hampshire to Missouri, would seom to indicate that “before the expiration of the prerent year” every Northern State will be in the porseesion of the black republican party. We think, however, that the present dislocated and transitory condition of parties and party politics at Washington will justify a widely dif- ferent conclusion. Granted that the Northern democracy are bopelessly broken to pieces, wha’ bond of union remvins to give the black republicans the abaolute occupation of the North? They have com- pletely stultified themselvee in Coagress upon the Lecompton censtitution, in voting, over and over again, with “a condition preeedect,” for the admission of Kausas as a slave State. ‘Thus they have themselves demolivhed their wn platform of ‘no more slave Statea;”’ 60 that pow, with the admission of Kansas under any Dill, their political capital of this Kansas anti- slavery agitation will be exhausted. They will no longer possess that shibboieth with which, for four years past, they have carricd all before them in the North, that cry of resistance to the slave democracy, and their base attempts to foree slavery into Kansas by border rutfian ia- vations, frauds and perjuries, and Uuited States dragoons. With the admission of Kansas, all thie capitel for Buncombe will be gone; and when the great excitement whict has created this formidable Northern party ceases, the party thus created will be shorn of its redundant sfPength. We have no doubt, however, that upou the general abstractions of the anti-slavery agita tion the republican party will continue stoutly to dispute the field; but from the pre- sent appearance of things there will be a balance of power against them which will at least carry the election of 1860 into the House of Representatives. This is our theory. Mr. Douglas and his camp fol- lowers bave been read out of the regular demo cratic camp, and they will stay out. Ino 1860 the rump of the late great national democratic party will meet at Charlestoa, where, from the peculiar necessities of the case, the South, more pointedly than on any previous occasion, will control the nomination and the platform. In a word, they will make tho regular democratic ticket of 1860 a Sou‘bern tick-t, which caunot be supported by auy party in the North, all our Northern parties having become infected or subject to antislavery sentiments, more or less. Next, in 1860, as in 1856, the remnant of the old Southern whig party, in some new shape, will probably have their ticket in the field, North and South, in view of some scattering crombe and fragments of the spoils. The Northern republicans will have their ticket: and the Douglas democracy, in order to work their full revenge upon the regulars, may be expected to follow the example of Martin Van Boren in 1848. From the sectional cros+firing of such an array of candidates, tickets and par- ties in 1860, the most probable result will be a failure to elect by the people. In that event, the election will go into Congress, where (each Stste casting only one vote) the Soath will cer- tainly be able to dictate the candidate or the terms of bis election. Such, from the present demoralized and dis jointed condition of all parties at Washington are our present estimates for the campaign of 1860—s confused and exciting scrub race—and tbe fivel triumph of the South in the election of the President by the House of Representatives. The fall elections to Congress will show more distinctly the drift of the wind than those re cent spring elections, which have been carried by the dying groans of “bleeding Kansas.” Within a few months the more selfish interests of contending cliques and factions for the spoils of 1860 will begin to operate, or we are very much mistaken, Atisor Inpictep.—We perceive that Thomas Alleop bas been indicted in the Central Crimi- val Court, London, for alleged participation ia the affair of the Rue Lepelletier, by which nine persons were killed. A short time since Allsop was in this city, and re- mained here during some time. He af. terwards went to the West, and passed through Chicago about three weeks ago. It is said now that he isin Minnesota. Of course, as he has been indicted in England, he can be returned without delay under the Extradition treaty, if the Englieh government asks for him. The in- dictment found on the evidenee adduced at the examinstion of Bernard is sufficient prima facie evidence for his extradition, notwithstanding anything that the 7ribune or other assassination journals may say to the contrary. Tue Form Wrrnovr tae Srint or Onns- TIANTTY—SECTARIAN Intorerance.—It is singu- Jar with what pertinacity some of our American sectarians stick out for forms which, in other parte of the world, are not deemed essential by the charch with which they are in communion. A striking illustration of this is to be found in the differences which have sprung up amongst the Presbyterians in the central part of Illinois, and which have arisen out of the following cir- cumetanees:— About eight years since a large namber of Portuguese, pressed by famine and perse- cntion, left the island of Madeira and landed in the city of New York, with a view of removing to the State of Illinois, About four bundred of them settled in Springfield, the capi- tal, and twice that number in Jacksonville, thirty miles distant from Springfield. Organiz- ing themselves into a church they adopted the Presbyterian form of government, chose their own pastor, who officiates alternately in Spring- field and Jacksonville, and became most exem- plary and industrious citizens. The old school Preebytery of Jacksonville, under whose juris- diction they were placed, have recently deter- mined that the baptism received by them in the Church of Rome, before leaving Madeira, is in- valid, and requires them to be re-baptised by a Presbyterian clergyman, under the penalty of suspension from church membership in the event of non-compliance. A part of them have com- plied with this requisition, and « part have re- fused, on the ground that the corruptions of the Church of Rome cannot invalidate her baptism. Among the last named is the Rev. Alphonso Demattos, pastor of the Portaguese church, MONDAY, APRIL 26, = NEW YORK HERALD, and mevy of the more intelligent members of | perbaps, the prio: of the ticket. People fre- his floo’. ‘The Presbytery bave appolpted a committee, consisting of the Rev. Dra. Brown, Bergen aad Jennings, of the clergy, Dr. Todd, a pbysiolan, apd Mr. Lamb, an extersive pork packer of Springfield, to investigate and settle these dif- ferences, They may deolde that Reman Catho- lo baptiem is not a bad foundation for Pres- byterian salvation. ‘he News from Pasaguay. Is appears by the late advioes from Rio Ja- neiro that the differences between Brasil and Paraguay have been brought to an amicable conclusion, By a convention, which has been ratified by the two governments, the navigation of the River Paraguay has been opened to all triendly nations, and full effect given to the treaty of April, 1856. We have not the text of the new treaty before as, but it would appear from the proclamation of President Lopes that sbe only epccial advantage which Brasil has ee- cured for, herself is that of navigating the Para- xuay with three war veswels to any point above the city of Assumpolon. Considering that only veseels of a light draught. can reach Assump- cion, the concession is not caloulated to inspire much jealousy. Other Powers having claims to enforce against Pesaguay will cage bat litte about the fog @y@Bich they will have to pro- ceed. As @aient naval force can be stationed fe amy timo at Assump- cion, it mats but title whother the United States possesses this priviloge ornot. Whenever it becomes necessary for it to bring the Paraguayan government to ac- count, s #pecial expedition will be attended with less expense than permanent naval sta- tien would entail For the general bonefits se- cured by the treaty with Brasil, we would there- fore willingly concede to her the honorary po- sition of the most favored nation, were there not questions remaining to be settled between Lopez's government and our own, which must ultimately lead to our being placed upon the same footing. The outrage committed on the Water Witch— one of the most unprovoked and indefensible that has ever been perperated upon our flag—is ua yet unatoned for. Whatever facilities our commerce may derive under the protection of the Brazilian treaty, it neither comports with our honor nor our interests that we should ac- cept them as condonement of so flagrant an insult. A government like that of the United States cannot stoop to receive through a third and weaker Power an indirect settlement of a question which so nearly touches her dignity. But it is not merely a sentimental difficulty which we bave to settle with the government of Prerident Lopes. As we stated the other day, some of our citizens have claims against it for losses and injuries sustained through a wanton breach of faith and the most unjustifiable persecu- tion on its part. These claims bave to be satisfied by pecuniary indemnity, and until they are adjusted friendly relations cannot be restored between the two countries, There is no doubt that it isto the firm tone in which Mr. Buchanan, in bis first message, alluded to these unsettled questions, Brazil owes the prompt conclusion of the present treaty. The manner in which tho newspaper organs of Lopez have replied to these allusions cufficiently attests the alarm and anxiety which he felt in regard to them. It is evident that he stood in mortal fear of the co-operation of the United States with Brazil in the effort to open the waters of the Paraguay, and that he thinks that by dividing the Interests of the two goverrments he secures himself against the forced concession of the Amcrican claims. It is to be hoped that Congess will no longer postpone action in « matter ia which the na- tional honor is so deeply concerned. Whilst our legislators have been squabbling over ab stract principles, arising out of mere party questions, our foreign relations have in general been suffered to fall inte the most complete neglect. The consequences of such indifference are obvious. When it is seen that we allow a «mall State like that of Paraguay to insult, op- press and plunder our citizens with impunity, more powerful goveraments will not be slow to gratify their dislike to us by following their ex- ample. Thus we shall be involved in « multi- tude of disputes, which might all be averted by a little timely energy and firmness. We call upon Congress, therefore, to spare us the trou- ble and discredit of such a state of things by promptly conferring upon the President the powers demanded by Senator Mason’s resolu- tion. An expedition should at once be des- patched to Paraguay, in order to extort from the fears of Lopez the satisfaction which his un- ecrupulousness and indifference to public opi- nion have hitherto rendered him reluctant to concede. Turratexed Disrurpanck at THR ACADEMY or Mcsic.—During the progress of Mr. Uilman’s long and successful campaign at the Academy of Music, we have frequently noticed the efforts of the rump of the old oyster house critics to break him down. They first attempted to sow the seeds of dissension among the artists, and even endeavored to excite their national preju- dices. The manager, however, kept apart from all the quarrels, and regulated his affairs in his own way. The artists, finding a strong hand over them, succumbed. The oyster house critics, “vanquished but not subdued,” retired into their former obeourity. In one or two in- stances where persons had made themselves personally obnoxions, they were refused admit- tance at the door, even though they paid for tickets, A bitter feud arose while the opera was going on; and, as we have said above, no means were left untried to break down the enter- prise. The public, however, paid no attention to the cabals, and the manager quietly pocketed the profita While the feud was going on, a person, represented to be a writer for a weekly journal, was refused admittance upon a paid ticket, on the ground that he was perso- nally hostile and obnoxious to the manager. The rump of the old oyster house critics have now taken up this quarrel, and have secured the assistance of some of the friends of the late lamented One-Eyed Thompson, a man who, it will be recollected, after running through the whole catalogue of crime, committed suicide. This force, it is said, intend to get up ® sort of Astor Place riot at the Acade- my this evening. The friends of One-Eyed Thompson have constituted themselves the spe- cial guardians of the “independence of the press,” and they intend to prove their sincerity by physical force. Now, in « legal point of view the manager of the Academy is right. He has an undoubted right to exclude any one from the Academy, if the person 80 exolnded Is obnoxious to any- body, the manager or any one of the audience. If the person excluded has paid for a ticket he can bring « olvil enit for damages, and recover, quently think that a piece of public amase- ment is like 8 bote, whiok is bound to receive every one. Sach Is not the case, and the mans ger of apy theatre may make his audience as #e- lect as be pleases at any time. The oyster house oritios know this well enough; eo they do not appeal to the courts, but procure the esdetance of “‘masole men” to make their Inst kiok at the manager, in the shapeof eriot. He oanmet be driven® or bal- lied, 80 be is to be beaten. We have no doubts astothereealt. TheSuperinteadent of Police— Mr. Tallmadge—hes already had some oxpe- rience in putting down riots; and without doubt he will be quite ready to make short work with thia.one, The manager and stock- holders of the Academy will see that there is » sufficient police force to protect their property and preserve the publio peace. So this last coup of the oyster bouse critica, with the friends of One-Eyed Thompson—what « splendid alli- ance !—will be only @ miserable fiasco, Tur Concrxss Pemriva— Correcrions.—The lucky candidate elected.printer of the Hous» of Representatives for the present Congres sends us the following note defining .hia .position in rogard to the spoils: — TO THE BAITOR OF THY HUBALD. Wasinarom, April %, 1668. In your dally issue of the 234 inst, {n'an editorial wa io the bead of ‘ 1na ongress Printing,’ ic is aworved “that Mr. Wen teil paya the parties ected as pricters to the and Geaate the haudvome sum of $20,000 a uecath, or $240,K0 a yenr, for the more privilege of ding the ‘Thin statement, It ‘s sald, a mace on facia developed by the report of the seloct committee appointed to invesu- om « junto’ ‘that whanau noes yiuks B STERDMAN Giving Mr. Steedman the full benefit of this explanation, what does it amount tot He has been paid thus far for this House printing $28,114 27; and the costs of the work since his election have been “sbout six thousacd dollars month.” Very moderate indeed. At the same ratio the House printing would scarcely exceed $72,000 a year—a calculation which we know is all moonshine. What says Mr. Taylor, of the House select committee, on this subject, in his carefully prepared official report. Hear bim:— centage paid by the sub coatractor referrod to public desiguated—emoluments of their mere sinecure offices—amounted to more thau $21, 000 during the month of January lest, and will average nearly $20,000 per month. This includes nv allowance of upon the House printivg for the Tuir:y-fourth jean; the sub contractor mentioned as public priater of bocy, dia the wore bimscif, and thus was savod pay ment for privilege. The gross amount thus pad, as a Fe ean cesscactee to the govoremeat olla, varied bat little from $240,000 per year, at tue same tune be re alizes, over and above that largo profit, ® Qanasome re- serve’ profit for himself. ‘Thus, it will be seen that Mr. Taylor's state- ments cover all the public printing and public printers at Washington, of whom Mr. Steedmaa is only one. Nor have we any doubt whatever of the eubstantial correctness of Mr. Taylor’efacts and figures. Nay, moro: we undertake to say that if these subsidies to the public printers, amounting to $21,000, for the mere privilege of doing the work, for the month of January, were ferreted out, they would be found to be divided among the following parties, to wit:— To Mr. Steedman, embracing siso Banks and Payot, of Va., abd sume person of Cincinnati To Mr. ‘Rice, of the Philadelphia Pennsyiea’ or Fornoy, of the Press. We leave it to the several parties concerned to till up the blanks. The money was paid, or agreed to be paid, by Mr. Wendell, for the mere privilege of doing the public printing involved in his eub-contracta for the month of January last. The sum of $28,114 27 on the books of the Superintendent of Public Printing for four months and « half work, is another affair. The $21,000 clear profits were from a purely private operation between the public printers and the sub-contractor. Thus, according to the books, public and private, the case with Mr. Wendell will stand as follows:— Due from the several partics concerned, tomake Se antaiesncesncssstees vase sees orsesd $15,000 But this sum of $28,114 27, as the gross amount for the House printing for four months and a half, does not begin to tell the story of the average House work per month for the year. How much Is yet due to Mr. Steedman & Co. for their work performed thus far? How much work ordered by the present House remains unfinished? These are important questions. Then, again, we must remember that the big jobs of the House have not come in yet—those extra editions of voluminous reports of stuff and verbiage, and those costly books of scientific rubbish, swelling up to the nice profita of ten, twenty, thirty, forty or fifty thousand dollars a job. Mr. Steedman’s explanation will not do. It proves nothing. We must have the names of all the parties concerned in all the jobs of this government printing and binding, the contractors and the sub-contractors, and the lobby shareholders of the moneys paid by the government, and of the subsidies paid by | Mr. Wendell. This is the sort of explanation we want, and nothing less will answer. ‘This explanation is within the reach of Mr, | Steedman. Let him demand a committee of in- vestigation, with power to send for persons and papers. We presume that Mr. Taylor will cheer- fully second the motion. Finally, we are sorry to perceive that while the black republicans de- sire to hold on to the present corrupt jobbing system, in view of these printing epoils for the next Congress, there are some Southern men, such for example as Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, who go with them against the great reform propored by Mr. Taylor. Still we advise him to push his bill to a test vote, so that we may at least be able to distinguish the guardians of the treasury from the defenders of the lobby. Cuantry Batis.—We see that Peter Cooper and some of the other more respectable mem- bers of the Committee of Management for the charity balls at the Academy of Music, have signed @ statement to the effect that, eo far ns they know, the accounts areall right. Now, we want to know, and the public wants to know, more than that. They may be satisfied more easily than the public. Here were two balls given, bringing about fifteen thousand dollars— perhaps twenty thousand—with numerous dona- tions of money, clothes, dry goods, &o., &c. ostensibly for the poor of the city. The ques tion is, where did it all go tot There ts a pri- vate meeting of some committee or other, and a balance sheet is presented which is ‘“aatisfao- tory” to Mr. Peter Cooper, #0 everybody else is expected to be satisfied. The statement is a very unsatisfactory one. No details are given, Bo minute account of the expenser, aud the pub- No bas really no more light thaa when the jour- pals called attention to the matter a fortnight ago, This will never do; and if some more satisfactory statement is not speedily forthcom- ing, we eball probe the whole matter to the bot- tom. We bave a right to do so, for we labored most earnestly and continuously for the success of the balls, and gave to them the free use of eur columns day after day. Now, we want to know where all the money went to. To this reasonable request an early answer is de- manded. THE LATEST NEWS.
