Sunday, November %5, 15¢ The News By the arrival of the Tennessee at New Orleans we have advices from Vera Cruz to the 2lst inst. The reports of the capture of Guadalajara are con- firmed. The British legation at the city of Mexico had been forcibly robbed of a million of dollars be longing to British bondholders, and great excite- ment existed throughout the country in conse quence. The liberals were stil! marching on the capital. The steamship Nashville arrived from Charleston at one o'clock yesterday morning, and brought back forty-seven steerage passengers, who were not permitted to land, by order of the Mayor of Charleston. The returned passengers were kindly informed that their presence at this time, owing to the excited state of feeling of the inhabitants at that place, was not desirable. T teamship Florida, from Savannah, which T arcived on Friday night, brought back fourteen cabin and twenty-eight steerage passengers, who were sent back for similar reasons. They were all sent back passage free. The plot thickens in the Beardsley divorce case, now under trial at Brooklyn. New and strange disclosures were made before the court yesterday of the freaks of a rural editor, a clergyman's son and the plaintiff, with gamblers and other bad characters in houses of ill fame. For decency’s sake we are again compelled to suppress some of the more revolting features of the evidence. Ac cor to Judge Lott, before whom the case is being tried, it is scarcely likely to be com before Thursday: and, therefore, in order to avold an adjournment over Thanksgiving Day, his Nonor has announced his intention to protract roceedings far into each night. It is generally tied by the members of the bar, and others ouversant with such matters, ‘hat this ‘mystery of iniquity’ throws completely into the shade the Burch case In the Cowt of Over and Terminer yesterday senteace upon William Mulligan, convicted of a deadly assault upon policeman Oliver, was post- poned till Saturday next. Bailto a large amount was offered by the friends of the prisoner, but the Court would wot accept any bail, and Mulligan was committed to prison. At “twelve o'clock lust night a fire broke ont in the top floor of the five story building No. 193 Front strect, occupied by Jobn Moore, agricultural ware house. The damage was but trifling. A man was arrested by Sergeant Kelly, of the Second ward, oa suspicion of setting the premises on fire. The steamship Bremen sailed from this port ves terday for Southampton and Bremen, with 97 pas sengers and 4,273 in specie. The Kangaroo also sailed yesterday for Liverpool, with 15 passengers. The majority of Mr. Wall over Mr. Nelson Taylor (dem.), Seventh and Thirteenth wards and Wil liamsburg district, appears by the official returns to be reduced to 60. Mr. Taylor is determined to contest the seat upon strong grounds, one of which is the allegation that over three hundred negro votes were polled for Wall, which, under the Dred Scott decision, w be held egal b » House Mr. Taylor has retained Mr. the of Representativ D. E. Sickles as his counsel. The frst really cold weather of the season ed New Yorkers yesterday for the first time.

It seems to have been the aim of both these blind leaders to throw {uel upon the flame, and to still further excite the North against the South. The Presbyterian pastor preached an out and out radical abolition sermon, glorifying Garrison, Sumner and all their adherents, and capped the climax of fanaticiem by hailing John Brown as the Garibaldi of the United States. Now, we should like to know what our people’ NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1860. | can reasoaably expect from the South, when the persoa who ministers to the spiritual wants of @ large and wealthy congregation in the | most respectable, or, we might eay, the most | aristocratic, portion of the city, has the sublime impudeoce to canonize a murderer, a traitor and a thief, as Joho Brown most assuredly was * These treasonable parsons do more mischief to the country than all the Webbs, Greeleys and Weeds put together, because everybody knows that the politicians are governed by partisan interests. and, therefore, do not scruple to stretch the truth a little, in order to encompass | their ends and clutch the welcome spoils. But the preacher, to the simple eyes of many of his congregation, has a direct mission from above, and therefore his words carry great weight, and sink deep Into the hearts of his hearers. These pestiferous political parsons are directly respon- sible for the present bad feeling between the North and the South. They are false prophets, and have led the peopleastray. They have betrayed their trust. and sold their Master for a few pieces of abolition silver. Instead of preaching the Gospel of Christ, as laid down in the Ser- mon on the Mount, they have dabbled in the dirty pool of politics and befouled their sacred vestments in the mire thereof. They are trai- tors to the cause of true Christianity—traitors | to the misguided people, who receive their | fanatical ravings as gospel, and traitors to the ; law of the land in which they live. Wo unto | them, when the day of reckoning does come | round. “The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind surely.”’ The Fields of Battle Before Us—Prepara- tions for the Campaign. The momentous questions which now agi- tate the whole country must form the chief ob- ject of discussion, not only in Congress. but in the State Legislatures, during the coming win- ter, and we have compiled the following view of the details of the field of discussion, which | will interest our readers, as it throws much ] light on the probable course of the present | agitation. | ‘The subjoined list comprises the Legislatures | of the several States that have passed laws op- posing the federal enactments, in most, if not in all, of which motions wil! be made for the | Tepeal of the same:— | States | Connecticut. | Iowa... | Maine Massachusetts .

In those slave States whose regular meetings of their Legislatures do not occur until after the Ath of March, 1861, the Governors will no doubt call extra sessions, to consider the crisis into | which they have been plunged by the election of Lincoln to the Presidency.

The aa | in the bea | sembling of auch a body, and the adoption of the new guarantees which tie fears of the Southern States demand, is the only way of giving a permanent quietua to the attempts to sever the Union. Such a conflict in the North will break up the black republican party com- pletely within six months, and the leaders of that organization, who already begin to snuff the spoils, do not exhibit signs of being averse to such a consummation. In the Southern Legislatures the Breckin- ridge party hasa majority in every state ex- cepting Delaware and Tennessee. There the conflict will lie between the immediate seces- sionists and those who call for a national con- vention to give guarantees to Southern society as it is now organized, prosperous and rapidly growing. Besides this, there will be side issues on retaliatory legislation against the nullifying Northern States, and the usual rhodomontade of the fire-eaters. Between the Congressional fighting and the discussions in the state Legis- latures, we shall have an exciting time during the coming winter and spring. Crim. Con, and Divorce jea—The Ker cord of m Week. We have been compelled, in the discharge of our duty as faithful chroniclers of pasa- ing events, to give up a large portion of our space to the evidence in three cases of conjugal infidelity, in all of which the cir- cumstances are somewhat sidgular, and in one altogether unparalleled. In two instances suit is brought by the injured husband for divorce on the ground of criminality. The third case was an action for crim. con., and the evidence gave a singular view of life in the middie stratum of New York society. This was the case of a member of the Brown family, who aued one !)avidson, described as a portly, mid- dle aged person, and demanded twenty five thou- sand dollars damages for Mrs. Brown's virtue, which, it was alleged, Davidson had taken away. It appeared in evidence that Brown, few months after marriage, had permitted his wife to go her ways; that he had neither cher- ished nor supported ber; that she had emigrated from the classic shades of the modern Athens to the wicked city of New York, where she met Da- vidson, who was represented by Brown’s counsel asaroaring lion going about seeking maids and matrons whom he might devour, and that Davidson seduced Mrs. Brown (who lived here aga spinster, and as such was affianced toa sighing swain of the name of McChristy) from the paths of virtue. Brown, it appears, was terribly ebocked at this state of things, and only found out his wife’s actual value when he ascertained the condition of Davidson's bank account. Then Brown went into court and asked for twenty-five thousand dollars’ worth of balm for his crushed and bleeding heart. But Brown's witnesses proved too much. They gave the jury to understand that Brown's wife, before she met the portly Lothario Davidson, was not like Cwsar’s wife, and the jury made a reduction of twenty-four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars and ninety-four cents in Brown’s claim. So brown bas come to grief and a cruel bill of costs. There are a good many portly gentlemen like Davidson, pretty women like Mrs. Brown, and husbands of an unconventional turn of mind like Brown, but they very rarely entertain the public by bringing their troubles iato court. The other cases referred to above are suils for divorce. The most interesting is that of Mrs. Burch; the most singular, that of Mrs. Beardeley. The latter cause is now being tried at Brooklyn. Mr. Beardsley sues for a divorce, and-complains that his wife has been guilty of adultery with one Mahan, a son of the Emerald Isle and a disciple of Hippocrates. The com- plaint sets forth that Mrs. Beardsley met Mahan at a Broadway saloon; that she encouraged bis advances; that she represented herself as a sin- gle woman and as the daughter of Admiral Sey- mour; that Mahan, being taken in by this gay delusion, was married to his charmer by a Catholic priest, the banns being dispensed with through the kindness of a right reverend pre- late. The defence is divided into two parts: first, that Mrs. Beardsley is not the person who was married to Maban; second, that the com- plainant, Beardsley, has been guilty of adul- tery, and therefore cannot ask for a divorce on that ground. This case is a very remarkable one, and is conducted by those eminently refined and courteous gentlemen of the long robe, Messrs. Chauncey Shaffer and Richard Busteed, with characteristic suavity and politeness. Alreagy several indictments for bigamy, conspiracy and perjury have been threatened. Mahan, the chief witnes- for the complainant, had a ten hours’ job of it on F'ci- day, and the counsel badgered him in the most approved fashion. This case is yet undecided, and we do not purpose to discuss its demerits. Prima facie it looks excessively odd. The Burch care has been so notorious that everybody must be pretty well acquatoted with both sides of the pitiful story. The ro- mance opens with Burch—the now wealthy banker—as a poor man. He marries the niece and protege of a railway king, removes to the | West, amasses wealth, keeps the best house, gives the best dinners and makes the longest prayers ofany man in Chicago. His wife isa leader affectionate, quiet, retiriog women of whom no one could suspect wickedness. All at once, however, there is arevolution in the Burch family. The pious money changer puts away his wife, and accompanies the act with so many exhibitions of petty meanness as to turn the tide of sympathy in her favor. In due time Mr. Burch’s action for divorce comes on, and the ¢dife of the Illinois bar meet at a emall town upon the prairies for a contest in which “pro- fessional courtesies will be dispensed with.” The evidence is telegraphed in full all over the country, and we presume that everybody, in cluding the parsons, has read it. The defence denies, in the first place, that Mrs. Burch was ever guilty of any crimival act; and, secondly, they intend to show that Burch was no better— indeed not so good—as he ought to have been. It will be noticed that, in both of these di- vorce cases, the parties belong to what is called pious society. The defendant in the Brooklyn case is the daughter of a Methodist clergyman, and Burch is accounted among the elect. It may be pleasant to some of our republican cotem- poraries who are fond of preaching about the immorality of the South to know that such ex- hibitions of a depraved state of society rarely of never occur on the other side of Mason and Dixon’s line, and that the Burch mansion was a sort of private headquarters for the special friends of Mr. Seward at the tigte of the Chi- onde, one of those sweet, docile, | cago Convention. Also, we beg that our reli- gious cotemporaries will not fail tonote the fact that there is an immenee deal of hard swearing on both sides in these cases. And all this is in the “free” North. Altogether too free, we fancy. Free men, free women, free love, free lust, and lsat, not lesat, free perjury. . Tue Cuarrer Execrion.—In another part of to-day's issue will be found the names of the can- didates that have been placed in nomination thus far for Aldermen,Councilmen and school officers. From the list there presented it will be seen that, with few honorable exceptions, the seve- ral parties have followed in their old beaten track, and brought forward the same class of philosophers that have turned up for those posi- tions for a number of years past. There is therefore but little hope ahead, unless the people move in the matter at once and bring forward some reliable men in the several dis- tricts. The republicans, who have made so many promises to reform, have presented but few names wortby of the support of the people, but. on the contrary, have placed in nomination several of the philosophers who voted for George Law's Yonkers railroad scheme, as well aa the supporters of the Japanese bill of Boole & Company. There may be a few on their ticket that will discharge the duties of the offices of Alderman and Council- ‘man with some credit to the people, if elected, but there are hardly enough to leaven the lump. Tammany, now commencing the throes of a reform, has given us her usual dose of ‘ whiskey braves” and “cow bays,” with now and then a sprinkling of “dead rab- bits,” and in large enough quantities to thoroughly spice the dish presented. There may be found, now and then, a worthy name on the list emanating from the old Coal Hole, but they are so few and far between that it almost needs a telescope to discover them. The Union party—late Bell men—seem also to be fond of the supporters of the Japanese scheme. Two or three of the inde- pendent nominations are men that would do houor to the position. but most of that class are of the same stamp as those trotted out by the regular parties. The squabbles of the ward politicians, and the efforts which the pothouse cliques are making to keep control of both branches of the Com- mon Council, almost make the task of placing worthy o‘licials in power at the City Halla herculean one; but they seem to have a petty quarrel amongst themselves, and if it is taken advantage of by the better class of our citizens, they can be as thoroughly routed as the Bourbons have been by Garibaldi. We trust that our business men and taxpayers wil! look to their interests and not let the cry of nigger, popular sovereignty, or any other issue that was brought into the Presidential contest, divert them from the true question—that of doilars and cents—as presented by the tax col- lector. What claim has Tammany, Mozart, repub- lican, or the so-called Union party, on any per- son, when they bring forward the lowest class of candidates to be found, and even endorse those who have already proven themselves by their votes ae being perfectly reckless as to the rights and interests of the inhabitants of Man- hattan Ieland, except so far as it will fill their own pockets. It is not too late to bring about a Waterloo defeat upon all of the conspirators about the City Hal! and the barrooms of the city. Shall the Augean stables be cleaned out, the papooses of Tammany be sent to other quar- ters for milk, the strikers of Mozart and the suckers in the republican ranks forced to other localities to carry on their trade? are the ques- tions that the inhabitants of this metropolis are called upon to decide at the coming charter election. Tue Rear Discsionsts3—We republish to-day the list of Northern States which have pareed Personal Liberty bills, and imposed penalties upon officials and citizens endeavor- ing to carry out the Fugitive Slave law. The penalties imposed are as follows:— lowa States. Jinprisonment. Fine. Maine... -. 6 year, $1,000 Vermont. ee years. 7,000 Massachusetts... . . 5 years £000 Connecticut. . & %. 5,000 Pennsylvania... 3 \. 1,000 Michigan 3 > 1,000 Wisconsin Yr 1,000 le 1,000 The constitution of the country recognises slaves as property; the laws of Congress recog- nise slaves as property; the decisions of the Supreme Court recognize slaves as property, and the constitution, the laws and the Court declare that fugitive slaves shall be restored to their owners. And how are the constitution and the laws and the Supreme Court regarded by these Northern States, every one of which has given the best defined illustration of prac- tical disunion, and has placed iteelf beyond the pald of the constitution, and virtually dissolved its connection with the Union? As yet no attempts bave been made to force them to abide by the laws and compel them to yield obedience to the stipulations of the general compact. ‘These States are the real nullifiers and dis anionig:; yet they are the loudest in their out ery against nullification and secession in the South. New Jersey is the only Northern State that bas a Fugitive Slave law of its own. On the 15th of April, 1516, the Legislature of that State enacted a law providing for an application to a Judge of a court of record to receive a claim to a fugitive and the arrest of such fugi- tive, and the hearing of the case before such Judge and two other Judges, and upon an ad- judication in favor of the claimant then to deliver him to bie owner. It has been urged in favor of Connecticut and Pennsylvania that they have not passed any acts in nullification of the federal law: but as no satisfactory etatement has been made on their behalf in this connection, we leave them sti]! «pon our list, and shall do so until we receive some definite and reliable aasurance that they do not rightly belong there.

NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL, Wasuincros, Nov. 24, 1860. IMPORTANT DECISIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. ‘The Attorney General has recently given several opin. fons to the departments, for the most part relating to points of little importance to the public, though iavolving large private interests. In an opinion to the Department Of State, he holds that governments domanding the retarn Of fagitives from justice, under the several extradition tweaties, must employ their own counsel,and that the District Attorneys are not required officially to conduct their cases at the expense of the United States, though there is nothing to prevent them acting for the govera- ment demanding the surrender of the fugitive. In the case of Forest aud Bust, it bas been decided that a person who holds three hundred and twenty acres Of land by an equitable title, although he has received no patent for it, is nevertheless the owmer of such land, within the meaning of the P're-emption Act of 1841, and consequently not entitled tomake pre emptioa entry, by virtue of settlement and improvement under that law. Several cases of suspended iand eatries, involving im- portant questions, are now pending, and will be shortly determined. TUR PROSPROTS OF THE GAY SEASON The storm of yesterday gave way this morning to a glorious day of that sunshine which is nowhere more highly appreciated than in Washington. Spite of the keen northwester blowing in the faces of pgfestrians, thore was a general interchange of visits at the west end, Nor did our blooming belles aud handsome matrons and dow. agers ever look better than after the exercise in the bracing air, 90 favorable to person! obarms, or in open carriages on their various visite to.cay. Washington gay life is quite independent of political commotion. Some of the green ones are anticipating that we shall bave dull times on account of the political troubles, Nota bit of it. The republicans owe {t to themectves that they do not prejudice the lovers of pleasure against them, and { dare say they will carry matters of a convivial and fashionable character with a pretty high hand. Heretofore they have certainly not been backward when invited to participate in democratio frolica. PERSONAL RENCONTEE. An irrepressible conflict occurred in the Natioual Hotel lart night, between 9 lawyer named Linton, a republican, and a democrat named Davis. Linton drew a knife, and was about plunging it into Davis, when be was restrained by bystanders, and subsequently taken in charge by the police. He was discharged to day, it being alleged that Davis commenced the fray. [THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE MR. WALBRIDGE, BTC. The funeral of Chester Walbridge, father of Hon.
