C),ore Ageats for the sieof THE TRIBUNE we B e, Thiey will aiso receive Sei NEWS OF THE DAY. o THE IMPENDING WAR. By tho arrival of the City of Paris at this port we have the important announcement that the proposed Peace Conference of Paris has been abandoned. The Government of France has informed the Powers which had been invited to take part iu the Couforence, that Austria had imposed condi- tions which France deemed impracticable, and that in the opinion of the French Government the Conference was at an end. Ta conseqaence of the failure of the Conference war was on all sides considered as immediately imminent. Lu consequence of the declaration of the Austrian representative in the Federal Diet, that she handed over the question of the Duchies and in partioular the succession question, to the Federal Diet, the Prussian Government has declared that she regards the Con- vention of Gastein as abolisked, and will at onco march her troops into Holstein. Treparations for war are contivuing on all #ides. In Ttalye the old Hungarian lagion is reviving, while, oo the other hand, among the Poles of Galicia there is much sympathy with Austria CONGRESS. In the House, on Saturday, Mr. Garfield gave no- tioe that ho would to-day offer a resolution directing the Com- wittee on Mileage to examine and report what discrepancy, if any, thera was betwoon tho amount of mileage secured by members of the last Congress and the amoust claimed by them, and directing the Committee in future to allow only the | amount elaimed. Mr. G. stated certain facts in this connec- tion, and, no otber business beiug in order, Mr. Julian ad dressed the House in favor of the Congressional plan of Re- construotion. Mr, Stevens then gave notice of his intention to offer & resolution that the Committeo on Foreign Affairs bo instructed to inguire into the propriety of loaning the Repub- said Republic to maintaiu its Government and to prevent the establishmont of mouarchical fnstitutions on this continent, | and supported the resolution in a speech. Mr. Niblack also | spoke ou general politics, Mr. Davis on tlie tariff, and Mr. Kerr on railroads and Congress. The death of the Hon. James Humphrey was then aunounced, and the House immediately adjourned as & token of respect to bis memory. ‘The Senate was ot in session. NEW-YORK CITY. Our Fenian correspondent, Jas. Kelley, has been released, having been fully exonerated from any share in the ateraid. The examination of tho Fenian prisoners at Fre- lighsburg, C. E., is proceeding. We give their names in another colamn. Col. Roberts arrived at Washington on Satyrday. There were ramors of another Canadian invasion on Satarday night.fbut they proved to be vafounded.

There have also been three deaths at Quarantine since our last report. The Commissioners appointed to select a site for o new Post-office in this city, met on Friday afternoon, but ow’ ing to the absence of the Mayor and Coutrolier no action was hed. Unsuecessful efforts, thus far, are beiog made to effect compromise between the Theatricnl Manngers Association and the Musical Matual Protective Union. Solomon C. Murpby, s lawyer, bas been lodged in jail on the complaint of Lis father, Dasiel Murphy, for stealizg from the Iatter $275 in legal-ten- ders and a watch valued at 8325 Augustus Morro of No. 14 Brond-st. bas been arrested on a charge of attempted arson iu setting fire to bis restaurant on Friday night last. The quiet of preceding Sundays since the taking effect of the Excise law provafled in this city yesterday, with the exception of the vicinity of Falk's Lion Park, where large crowds assembled, sud intoxicatiog beverages were fold, Notwitbstanding this open violation of the law, there was less rowdyism than was usual ander the old order of things, the large delegation of metropolitans preseut haviog a quieting effect upon the Sunday pleasure seekers. Daniel Moore and Chas. W. Beabury were arrested on Saturday on complaint of the Mayor of Jersey City for counterfeiting oertain trade marks. H. F. W. Stucker, a silk ‘weaver, residing at No. 7 Elizabeth-st., was arrested on Sat- urday on & charge of bigamy, preferred by bis two alleged wives. The case of Paul Falk agt. Jackson Schultz and others was argued before Judge Cardozs, in the Court of Common Pleas, on Saturdsy, Mr. Clioton spoke in bebalf of the plaintiff, and not haviog concluded at a late bour, further hearing was adjourned to Friday next. The U. 8. Bonded Warehouse at the Cunard dock, Jersey City, was entered on Thursday night last, and six cases of velvets valued at $4,000, stolen. All efforts to discover the thief have as yet proved fatile, The advices by the City of Paris, on Saturday, pro- auced an futense excitement In the gold market. The price at the opeuing was 151, but it fmmediately sdvanced to 160, re-acting to 154, snd fioally closing st 161 bid.

The resumption of the debate on the Reform bill on the 4th resulted in the defeat of Capt. Hayter's amendment without & division, the great mass of the Opposition members leaviog the House.

In explaining his motion, Mr. field sbowed that it was the cnstom, and we presume therefore the law, to compute mile- | age in committee on a larg scale than indi- vidual members ffound themselves abl reckon it Mr. Garfield was himself paid for 4%0 miles more than Mr. Schenck, claimed for hut deelined to receive the he claimed. His colleag 659, and was allowed =1 excess. The same was true in other cases. It is evident, therefore, that the law needs overbaalin, not only because it permits an excessive claim, b because it adopts a system of computation that is un equal, exorbitant, aad unknown to those who aré most interested in it. We don't kuow whether there ever will | with a Congress firmness enongh to abolish this hug ndle wholly, and allow each member to charg expenses and no more; but we veuture to hope that the present Cougress will do something to rectify the law as it stauds. GOLD 160], The Specie exported on freight from this port and Boston within the last five weeks sums up as fol- lows: Week ending May 19th Total. five weeks. ... None will doubt that our total export of Gold and Silver for these five weeks Las exceeded our import by st least Forty Milions of Dollars. During these wecks, the premium on Gold worked steadily upward from 20§ toG0}, which was the closing rate on Saturday eveuing. This rise involves dearer bread for the laborer's children, scantier or shabbier clothirg for the farmer's wife and danghters. It reduces by nearly a quarter the actual compensation of every man in the United States who is at work by the year or month at & fixed salary or rate of wages. It involves more brokerage and stock-gambling, with less wheat-growing and pork-packing. Already, it is cheaper for onr publish- ers to have their books priuted in London than at home; very soon, orders will go out to Loudon and Paris for the made-up clothing of our families. How long this can go on without involving us in general has bankruptey, we will not eay; but the end is inevitable, “Increase the Tariff!” say thousands; and we heartily agree with them. Increase the Tariff promptly and heavily, s0 as to stop the importation of Millions on Millions' worth of Metals and knick- knacks and gewgaws, that we should eitber make at home or do without. If the daty on every article which we can make at home—that is, every ono which can be made here with as little Jabor as else- where—were doubled this day, it would be a Dblessed Fabrics, thing for our country and every part of it. But it is idle to stop leaks in one side of the ship and leave a chasm or rift in the other. We must con- tract our Currency—contract it sharply and largely— or Protection will prove of no avail. The blindness ormadness on this point of the Pennsylvanians in Congress passes all hounds of credibility. We cannot comprehend them, and have given up the attempt, Gentlemen in Congress! long meet the laborers for wages at the polis. If you think 60 or 70 per ccnt. preminm on Gold, with inevitably correspending prices for Food and most of you will ee Clothing, will commend you to their favor, you are wolully in error. We entreat you not to leave Washington without giviug the Seceretary of the Treasury all the power to contract and to fund that he will accept. You eannot afford to leave matters as they are; and—what is of far more consequence— the country cannot afford it. De wise in time ! — Mexico, well lot alone by ue, will very soon lave herdestiny in her own hands. Neither France nor Austria_ean spare either money or men Lo muntan the appearance of a pew Radical Re- | | Tweive Stat Gar- | | Sen | with the truth, all Europe will very soon reverberate. We most carnestly cansel all siveere and make-believo Filli- busters alike to let her alone, and not think of de- voting the money we owe our national oreditors, the men we need to develop our own neglected resources, to setting in‘order the houses of our neighbors. Hands off, gentlemen! Mexico had never fairer prospects than open before her to-day. You cannot improve on the foreign policy of George Washington ! — WA The breaking up of the Conference seems to dispel the last hope of peace in Europe. The Power which has most to lose and least to gain, both in territory and in the world’s opinion, assumes the responsibility of precipitating the contest. Very possibly the Conference might have failed of its purpose, but it would bave bad two clear advautages: it would have gained time, and it would have defined the responsibility for the war. Either result might bave made war impossible, because the tremendous cost of these huge armaments of Austria and Prussia could not long be sustained, aud because even Austria, with her faith in dying traditions and dead treaties, could not afford to des- pise, nor long resist, the unanimous verdict l:f Europe that she was in the wrong. As between her and Italy, she neither has, nor could have, any important suffrage on her side; yet it is precisely because she would not put the Italian question into the scale that Austria recedes from the Confer- enc She will not admit the possibilny of giving Venetia to Italy excopt at the point of the sword, and decides for war rather than allow the na- tiouality of that oppressed province to become a sub- jeet of di sion. We are not of those who believe that the sympathies of Christendom on the side of Italy will count for nothing during the strugglo that is coming. The map which we give this morning has been pre- pared with great care, and will be found unusually full and accurate; but the explanation which accom- panies it will be valuable for reference even to those who possess full atlases of the various seats of war, ARITHMETIC RUN MAD. The Evening Post has often puzzled, sometimes provoked us, Wy its obtuseness to all considerations which urge the development of our National Indus- try by discriminating duties on imports—an obtuse- ness as complete as the inability of the blind to dis- tinguish colors. We have sometimes been tempted to regard The Post's perve Its from an unfoy mate un- udiments of mathematical that was wrong—it re acquaintance with the Observes: science. The National Intelligencer appealed to us against the great inequality of representation of members in the Sennte of the Union; aud we responded that we would gladly assent to a modification of that inequal- on the following reformed basis: 1 State with less than 500,000 enfranchi moré. Whereupon, The Post thus commen how this would work under the census of 1860, four of t in New-England and three in the nator, would be entitled to s would have two Sena “Letus s A lows Fourt, South—#0 but on Seven dla assachuserts, Georgia, T cky,, Indiana, nd Missouri=would have cach | three Senators.

Let us contrast The Post's blunders above set forth ork—w send 74 eac in 1860, with the number of Senators to which itled under our proposition : Louisiana .

Add—Nevada. —~We should thus have fewer Senators on the basis we suggested than we shall bave on the present; and not one of the ten States named by The Post would have the number aseribed to it by that journal, The Post must learn to count. _— LAW-BREAK! Mr. Panl Falk has achieved the distinction of keep- ing for two Sundays past the most notorious place in New-York. All the encouragement which habitual law-breakers can derive from an ostentatious defiance of both law and public opinion Mr. Paul Falk has afforded them. Other tippling shops have been shut; his has been open. Whoever wanted to gnazele his braius away has been afforded ample facilities in his Park. We have no doubt Mr, Falk will accopt this statement as a compliment. Those who cncour- age him take the ground that it is a manly and Christian business to make men drunk and to tempt workinguien to exchange their hard earnings for beer and wine instead of bread, What is it to such men that a few hundred pale-faced women and children had to bear through the long hours of yesterday with empty stomachs and aching hearts? ‘The lignor- dealer counts over his gains on Monday morning— what cares be who loses? Society is so much the worse, but the rum-seller is so much the better, We think that this particular Mr., Falk ought to divide the credit with the Courts which gave kim per- mission for his debauch. That **fatal facility” with which injunctions are issned in this State has long been & matter of comment in the courts of other States, and now and then evokes a protest from the better portion. We bhold that a Court has something more to do than look at the narrow letter of a law, There are two theories of judicial administration— one that a Judge is to consider the law ouly; another that he is sometimes to try to make bis bench o tribunal of justice. Socicty expects the latter. It cares little for forms; it cares much for substance. It has been a favorite maxim with Judges that they are to expound the statute and iguore consequences, ‘That is a fendal idea, The higher notion of judicial funetions makes them guardians of the good order and morals of society, Whether they shall be or not depends much on what society demands. In the Excise law, or auy other law, a Judge will probably represent in his decision the necessity of the common weal. Society, therefore, is responsible at last for what it allows its Judges to deeide, and the press, as the organ of public virtue, must eriticise the doings of the bench as vigorously as of the bar, or the pulpit, or the platform. When we are compelled to look at a judge obstroeting the execution of a law enacte d in e A BMaleil A eness uncharitably—but | Here is the total population of each | more guilty for his obsemyance of techuicalities and his respect for the letter, while he forgets the spirit of the statute. If the Judge who granted Mr. Paul Falk’s application for an injuuction bad remembered that he opened the doors of disorder to & mob of beer- drinkers, he might have paunsed. When a rumseller wants leave to impoverish a hundred families, and presents bis petition to the conrt, we hold no court excused which fails to look deeper than the mere words and face of that applica- tion. Suppose he came for an injunction to allow him to keep open a brothel, or to forbid the police from interfering with a contemplated burglary. Dare any Judge grant that? Yet is it any more immoral to steal epoons than to steal a man's brain and con- science and beggar his family by selling bim wine and beer? The discussion of this tople is too long to pursue this morning. We only mean to point out that Mr. Paul Falk is not alone to blame for the orgies of Lion Park, since they proceed under the shadow of judigial ermine and derive an appoarance of respectability from the form of law. But when we contrast the quict of other parts of the city with the mad dissipa- tion in one black spot, we are at a loss to know which of the guilty parties deserves the sternest reprobation. . WHAT I8 LOYALTY? The Daily News, in & leader in general approval of the late pro-Secession speech in Congress of Mr. Harris of Maryland, says: * Tt {s ofmo avail now to insist that the right of secession is one of the attributes of the political system under which exist the United States of America. That question has been sub mitted to the arbitrament of arms; and, so far as the mer: fluences of physical force can determine it, it has, for the time being. been determined. The South accepts the result, in re- spect to its present practical application; but that acce] doos not imply any abandonment, in mu';m. of the principle upon which the secession movement was founded.” —Itis of the gravest consequence that the People of the United States should clearly understand each other on the question mooted. 'We say nothing as to the past: Let bygones be bygones. But does au ex- Rebel, in now swearing allegiance to the Constitution and Union, swear to be faithful only till his State shall see fit again to secede ? This is an eminently practical question. Its right decision is of momentous, vital import. Could a State formerly absolve her citizens serving as officers in the army or navy of the United States from the ob- ligation of the solemn oath of fidelity exacted of them on entering that service? If she could rightfully do this once, can she now? Does the oath now mean, 1 will bear true and faithful allegiance until my State shall secede from the Union?” Let us havea clear understanding on this head before we educate any more Lees and Stonewall Jacksons at West Point. We cannot afford to be trifled with. The proclamation of the new Captain-General of Cuba is sonorously impressive. It will be remarked that Gen. Lersundi speaks not only like a statesman, but like a philosspher, for he proclaims: T, govern is to direct by promoting good and persistently repressing evil; itis to make right & reality, and administer justice to all; to sacrifice all doubtful interests to the common Weal; to pass through the present, paying a due respect to the past, A proviaing of the futare. to progress while we porse- vere and maintain what our ln:!;“'. “‘:f". ‘"r'i""'::r:::‘l: to administer public affairs Aara Our 1ns| 0! ing: to administer public afalr b out Hod gn on¥ breast to feel tie palpitation of the present time and jear the ne- cessities of the futare s evinced by these, In fine, it is 16 8d- vaoce with foretbought, tact, prudence aud energy. Although this undertaking is arduous, 1 hasten to coufess that it is less diflicult in the island of Cuba than in other regions. After so high-minded a definition of government, we are doubtful of flattering the good people of Cuba. We shall be anxious to learn further the pre- cise actual bearing of Gen. Lersundi's manufacture of the right into reality upon the slave system of the island. Although he has addressed what appears to be a pompous but emphatic circular against the slave- traders, it is to be seen how far we can trust to the Spanish rhetoric. At all events, the new broom bas amajestic sweep, — HON. LEWIS CASS. The Hon. Lewls Cass died at Detroit yesterday morning, aged K3 years, Lewis Cass was born in Exeter, N. Octobe 1732, His father bore a commission in the Revolutionary army, and took part in the battles of Bunker's Hill, Trenton, Princeton, Genmantown, &c. The young Lewis was educated at Exeter, and studied law at Marietta, He was admitted to the Bar in 1802, and practiced with | success during several years, In 1806 he was elocted to the Obio Legislature. Being placed on the committec institated to inquire into the movements of Col. Burr, bis hand drafted the law which enabled the local authorities to arrest the men and boats engaged in that enterprise on their passige down the Ohio. He also drew up the address to Mr, Jefferson, embodying the views of the Obio Legislature on the subject. In 1807 Mr. Cass was appointed Marshal of the State, & pos- which he filled until 1813, In the war of 1812 he yolunteered to join the forces at {Dayton under General Hull, and was named Colonel of the Third Oio Volun- teers. Colonel Cass commanded the advanced guard when | the army crossed from Detroit into Canada, and drew up the proclamation addressed by the General to the inhabit- ants of that country ou their arrival in it, and com- mended also the detachment which dislodged the British forces posted at the bridge over the Canards. Shortly afterward Col. Cass was includedin the capita- lation which ensued on the signal defeat of the American army, aud after makiog his report at Washington, was ap- pointed to the Twenty-seventh Regiment of Infantry, and, after a short interval, promoted to the rauk of Brgadier- General. He took part in the pursuit of Gen. Proctor, and in the triumph at the Moravian towns. At the close of the cam- paign be was lett in command of Michigan, with his head- quarters at Detroit, & command he exchanged for the post of Civil Governor over the same State in October, 1813, In 1514 ho was associated with Gen. Harrison in a commission to treat with the Indians, who had boen hostile to the United States during the war, In 1819 he established himself perma- nently with his family in Michigan. From the year 1819 to Gen, Cuss was the main instrument in the varions treatios concluded during these years between the United States and different Indian tribes located along its entire frontier. In 1828 he was made President of an historical society established in Michigan, and in the following year delivered an inaugural address, em bodyiug the early history of the State,and bringing it down to the period when it beeame & part of the Union. T 1530 he received the degree of LL.D, from Hamilton College, New-York. In 1831 ho was made Secrotary of War he then President, Gen. Jackson. 1t was during Wis tenure of this office that the war of the Seminole Indi- ans broke out, a ealamity which by some has been attribu- ted to his want of judgment. In 1836, the same President appointed bim Minister of the United States to France, where he pub)ished s book, entitled ** Frauce, its Kiug, Court aud Government,” in which Louis Philippe and his supporters are somewhiat lavishly praised. In 1842, President Tyler baving been placed in power by ! the death of Gen, Harrison, Gen, Cass wus, at bis own request, recalled. From bis return to America, many acts of lis public life are felt to be perplexing, ot to say irre- coneilable. He now declared himself in favor of a high protective tariff, a distribution of the procoeds of the pub- lie lands, and of the constitutionality of & bank of the United States. ‘These views brought him in close alliance with Gov. Porter of Penn., and that portion of the Locofoco party who lad a ing to those measures, Ho was afterward eleeted to the Senate of the United States, in which be has always held o prominent position. Being now in a po- sition of iufluence he commenced bidding for the Presidency. Accordingly, o publie meeting in Kentucky was got up {0 1813, when he was recommended a8 a candidate for the Presiden: e uoxt espoused the annexation of Texas aud the war with Mexico for additional territory in order to prowmote the extension aud propagation of Slavery. But in these, a8 in some former measures, he soon be- came perploxed. Wilmot of Pennsylvania introduced his celebrated proviso ngainst the extension of Slavery in 4 froe Territory.

But, as in the case of Mr. Buchanan, 1o antecedent expression of opinion was allowed to over- rule public utility after his accession to power; and al- though uncomfortable reports respecting Gen. Cas's biad against Eugland got abroad during the San Juan dificulty, tranquility was not disturbed, Gen. Cass has published, during his long career, several worke of ability, among which we may mention * Inquiries respecting the History, Traditions, Language, &e., of the Indians living within the United States, Detroit,” &e.; * Historical and Scientific Sketches of Michigan," &e, The General was a total-abstinence man, baving uever, it is said, tasted spirituous liquors in bis life, COL. SEATON. William Winston Seaton, long connected with The Washington Intelligencer, died 1n that city on Saturday, having attained the ripo age of 81 years, Col. Seaton way born in King William County, Virginia, January 11, 1785, He was a descendant of the Scotch Seatons, one of whom, Henry, an adherent of the fortunes of the Stuarts, emi- grated, a political exile, to Virginia during the latter part of the 17th century. Col, Seaton’s mother, whose maidee name was Winston, was a cousin of Patrick Henry, He was educated at a celebrated academy in Richmond, kept by Ogilyie, Earl of Finlater, an eccentric Seotchman. At the age of 18 he engaged in politics, and entered the field of journalism as the assistant editor of a Richmond news. poper. Ho next edited The Petersburg Republican, but soon purchased T'%e North Carolina Journal, published at Halifax, then the capital of that State. From Halifax he went to Raleigh on its being made the cap- ital, connecting bimself with 7%e Register, them an influential journal, edited by Joseph Gales, senior, whose daughter he subsequently married. In ISI2 he re- moved to Washington, founding Z'he National Intelli- gencer in company with his brother-in-law, Joseph Gales, jr., which partuership continued until the death of Mr, Gales in 1860, From 1812 to 1820 Messrs. Seaton and (iales were the exclusive Congressional reporters as well 48 cditors of their journal, oue taking charge of the Senate and the other of the House of Representatives, where prominent seats were officially assigned them. Their “ Register of Debates” is now considered a stanflard au- thority, and The Intelligencer, under their charge, was noted for its ability, candor and courtesy. The esteem in which Col. Seaton was held by his fellow-citizens in Washington is evidenced by the fact that for twelve successive years he was chosen to the Mayoralty, From the death of Mr. Gales in 1860 until bhig recent sale of The Intelligencer 1o its present proprietors, Messrs, Coyle, Snow and Allen, Col. Scaton conducted it aloge. Since his retirement from public lifo he has lived quietly at home, his faculties gradually failing, and sur- rounded by a wide circle of friends. Col. Seaton was one of the fow remaining links that connect us with the states- men of & former period. Cotemporary with Jeflerson and the gifted minds of the Past, he lived to sec the wone derful achievements of the Present. Witnessing a nation apparcfitly tn its death throes finally triuwmph, both over domestic traitors and foreign focs, bis was a privilege not often accorded. In Col. Seaton, also, the Press of America recognize one of the pioneers of journalism on this conti- nent, and reverence those journalistic virtues for which ko was, through a long career, ever remarkable.
