Congress.?In the United States Senate,
being Private Dill day, nothing of public interest
was done. Adjourned till Monday.
The House managed to disgrace itself.
tV The telegraph this moraing inform*
us of anticipated duela and a scarcity of Pork '
An almoat frightiul accident occurred nn the
Philadelphia and Baltimore Railroad last night )]
k Moat Dt?BraceTul Fraeaa.
The 1 union and harmony' secured by the
passage and inaiairenance of the Fugitive Slave
Law were freshly illustrated yesterday in the
House of Representatives by a fight between
Messrs. Brown and Wileox, both Members from
Miasissippi, slaveholders and ' Democrats,' but
Brown belonging to tho 1 State Rights' and
Wilcox to the * I nion' wing of the party. We
refer our readers to lull particulars of the fray
in the telegraphed proceedings of the House.
?The worst part of the atTairis the light man
net in which it was passed over by the Housei
as with former oatragea of the kind. Here are
two men, both untler the highest obligations to
behave themselves, indulging in an exhibition of
their temper and breeding which deeply, cruelly
disgraces and iajurea their coantry?lniurea it
worse than does the peculator who steals 3?liK?,
mofrotn the Treasury. Vet they are let off with?
out eveo b reprimand, as was the ruffian Borland
by the Senate, on the occasion of his breaking
Mr. Kennedy's nose by a blow of hie fist some
days ago. Thus brawls an I blackguard dis?
plays are incited by ihe perfect impunity which
they tecetve at the handa of fongres*.
It only remains for the Peop'e to act worthily
in the premises. A House which thus permits
the Nun.-a to be disgraced by its Members with?
out remonstrance makes the guilt and shame ita
own, and should be dealt with accerdingly.
CP We this morning publish entire the
Speech which Gov. Srward delivered in
the Senate on Tuesday last, upon the great
question of America's duty to the cause of
Libeity and National Independence in other
lands. The particular theme was naturally
the claims of Hungary for our interrention
to protest against, and protect her from*
that Russian invasion which has once over?
throws her people and threatens to do it
again in case of their uprising. But Gov.
Seward never discusses a special topic
without reference te principles of universal
magnitude and importance, and in this case
he bringa to his work a maturity of thought,
a breadth of research, and a classical ele?
gance ancf force of statement which make
his speech a model in its kind. Many will
disagree with his positions ; many will rind
that he goes too far; some that he does not
go far enoagh; but his speech wQl be read
by them both; it will rind an echo wherevor
among the People there beats unfettered by
prejudice a manly and generous heart; and
U will leod a fresh hope to the etile and the
oppreaaed longing for the dawn of liberty
upon their beloved and enchained native
kad.
no
BrTui raoM Eibopb has _
startling feature. The French despot holds
his own. The new British Ministry haa
epenew its career with a moderate and pel
itic ieolaration of its policy. It adheres to
prote?ooB, b?i will not attempt to force it
upon the cotrsTtry at the present moment, at
the expense of a dissolntion of Parliament
and a special election. The GoTeroment
wiL' await the result of ihe regular eleeii^n,
and in the wear while will administer affairs
without any n arkfH chinjre from their pre
Ti<>ui course. This election, in the im
course of tilings, will foilo* after the pres?
ent ?esrioc, whi-h is the sixth of the present
Parliament. That body is elected for seven
jean, but the usage ia to dissolve itpre
t/ious to the seventh ses?ion, even without
any special rt-ason, so that its regular dura?
tion is in fact but ?ix years. And while
thus not urging the main question of party
waifare, Lord Derby give* nr. tic e th.it he
shall abandon Lord -Toiiii Russell's Reform
bill, and shsL not bring in any such measure
as the bill to establish a system of National
Schools promised by the late Premier. In
the view of the present Government, the
only good education is one founded on the
study of the Scriptures, and the Church of
England, acting through its parochial cler?
gy, the best possible means for conferring
it. With regard to foreign policy, the line
of conduct marked out in Lord Granville'a
late circular to the Continental C overnments
will be adhered to, while the refugees in
England are warned that they will not bo
allowed to conspire against the powers that
have banished them from home.
From Prussia we have the report of ex
treme distress from the scarcity of fo>d.
The famine is felt even in Berlin. German
politics maintain their usual monotony.
CP* We learn from Paris that The Trib?
une is honored by confiscation at the hands
of the present French Government. Copies
sent by mail are not received, and the bun?
dles of newsagents are opened in order that
the offensive journal may be seized and
prevented from instilling into any body's
mind that hatred and contempt which are
the desert of the murderous usurper who
holds that country in abject bondage. We
can only say that, by telling the truth about
him and his doings, we have done our best
to deserve such treatment at his hands.
Ce*attcricnt? the Stake Nincls !
The friends of Ths Maim- Law in Con?
necticut have put themselves on the record.
They have solemnly declared that they will
vote for candidates favorable to the great
measure of protection and reformatioa they
ask for, and will not vote for candidates
who, by open declaration or obstinate si
lence, stand opposed to that measure.?
Which candidates are in one of these cate?
gories and which ia the other, so far as
State Officers are concerned, they have
also plainly set forth, so that ea-h voter
who docs not wish to be ignorant must
know precisely how his vote, for one ticket
or tbe other, will bear potentially on the
overshadowing question of Grog-shop Sup?
pression and Temperance Reform.
The issue is thus suspended on the
fidelity of Temperance Men to their con?
victions. If they vote as they know they
should vote, in order to secure the over?
throw of the Rum Traffic, theie efforts must
triumph, and the Maine Law become the
law also of Connecticut within the next
three months. If many of them choose to
hold this question subordinate to party
names and 'usages'?to 'go it blind' for
Party, regardless of the cry which comes
up to their ears from crowded Aims-Houses,
expanding Prisons and multiplying widows
am! orphans, divested of their all by the
Liquor Traffic, they will of course sur?
render and secure the victory to the Rum
selling interest.
For that interest will not sleep nor spare?
it will laugh at party names and spells, and
act with a single eye to its own prosperity
and perpetuity. No man who is resolved to
live by sellingor die by drinking Liquor will

A majority of the Colleges and nominal
Universities of our State are now suitors I
to the Legislature for donations from the
Treasury, and a platoon of Presidents and
other influential dignitaries are, or recently
have been, in Albany, boring in behalf of
one or another of these applications. , Ul?
timately, they will all be combined in one
general bill, and a desperat? effort made to
force them through.
We trust this effort will be defeated. We
know no valid reason for taxing the People
of New-York in support of these institu?
tions j we feel the force of many reasons
bearing against it. Among the most ob
vieus of these is the inevitable want of pro?
portion between she services rendered and
the bounty received. The College poorest
in reputation and in students will naturally
be most voracious in its assaults on the
Treasury; while that which imparts the
moat thorough education will naturally have
most individual sapportaad be least anxious
to quarter itself on the State. Then the
habit of looking to the Treasury instead of
its own proper resources far support cann>)t
fail to exett a pesnieioas influence. The
best President will be, cot he who can best
govern and teach, but he who can pull moat
wires at Albany aad demonstrate the Great?
est powers of section in his annual tbrajs
oa the Treasury. Then follows the con?
stant aad most baleful multiplication of
Ci4j? gts ? already 'thicker tiat. toad* after
a?ho?er'?wbereb7 the possibility of at
tsehing to any ciip of the w-aMiigs a toler.
?afcl? efficient Faculty is precluded. But
Time would fail for the e.mi mention of all
the grounds of fatal objection to the system
of capricious ft! prodigal bounty to Col?
lect s upoii which our Sta'.fl ha* b.en im?
pelled. Let us hare a final end of it, a:id
that rt BtWlt)
If the State- is to cite more to Colleges
at all, we insist that it shall do M on the
baaia a'ready adopted in the diatriiulion of
its btuntj to Academies?the whole sum it
thinks proper to give being apportioned
among them at so much per puj.il to ei h.
Flit we canrot discover any ade mite justi'i
cation for distributing public i.iouey to
Col'eges on any basis whaterer. We would
make the fullest and most liberal provision
practicable for Common Schools and m ike a
fair allowance for the due education of
Teachers in Acadeiniea and Normal
Schools, and there stop. We think the
Peop e, if allowed to vote directly on the
subject, would say No to any proposition
to tax them for the purpose of giving a
1 liberal Education,'so called, to some two
or three thousand youths drawn in good
part from the more fortunate classes, and we
believe that in so doing they wuild vote
exactly light. We protest against endow?
ing colleges with one more dollar from Ihe
Treasury of our State.
The Alleged Canal Frauds.
The Legislative Committee appointed to
inquire into the allef ed frauds in the recent Ca
Lai lettings harp reported the testimony taken
before them, without however showing that such
frauds were practiced. George Law sweara
that there waa not the slightest collusion be?
tween him and Mr. Seymour,thd late State En?
gineer ; that no conversation nor negotiations of
any kind took place between them on the ;natter i
that Mr. Seymour has no interest of any sort in
his contract, not he any in the Railroad enter?
prise?, or in any other business in which Mr
Seymour ta engaged ; and thai no public officer
or n ember ol" the Legislature is, to his knowl?
edge, in any way interested in the lettings, or
has been so interested. Ex-Secretary BmOBOAH
testifies to the same points. A. B. Dickinson, ?
bidder and contractor, testifies that he knows ot
nothing en which the suspicion of personal
interest or of fraud on the part of any member
of the late Canal or letting Boards could bo
grounded. Francis H. Rugules, late Auditor of
the Canal Department, gives the same testimony,
and ao do all the witnesses eiarninod aa to that
queation. Attorney.General Chatfikld is the
chief party who testifies to any ?fter or refusal of
a bribe, and he,?doomed as he is to have his vir?
tue assailed by such temptations,?swears that
on* Calvin T. Chamberlain offered him a thou?
sand dollar bill to get for him a reasonable amount
of work. This proposal Chatfield rejected, and
opposed Mr. Chamberi.ain's bid when before the
Board. They were, however, supported by Mr.
Foi i.ett ami finally ChahBIBLAIII got about
100,000 worth of wurk, Mr. Chatfield not see?
ing fit to expose his rascality before the Board, and
in fact, is rather sorry to tell of it now. Mr.
Follktt also sweara that Mr. Stillsom offered
hiru two thousand dolla.s in behalf of J. W.
Gooomcit, aa a bribe for section No. 20?, but
Stillsoh was sent off with a tlea in his ear,
and Goodrich got no contract at all. The
same Stillson, who haa for some time been,
and still is, Engineer of tho Western Diviaion,
and who was present with the Board when it was
decided to whom the contracts should beawarded,
states that they began with the lowest bidder in
each case and went through the whole list of
proposers, discussing their offers and competen?
cy to execute them. More attention was paid
to the personal qualifications and ability of the
bidder than to the security offered. The job
given to"G borge Law is the most difficult ever
let in the State, requiring a heavy outlay in tools
and machinery belore commencing it. Mr. Law's
offer waa ?46,000 below the Engineer's esti?
mate, and lower, Mr. Stillson thinks, than the
work ca,n bo done. As far, then, as the evidence
goes, there is a complete failure to establish any
iraud or corruption oa the part of the officers
engaged.
It is, however, abundantly proved that con
tracts were awarded on political grounds. Mr
Charles Cook testifies that the Attorney-Gene?
ral propoaed in writing to a meeting of his
(Cook's) fnenda in the Board, where Lieut. Gov
i n i ii waa present, " that if they would agree
to allot to Georoi Law contracta for work to the
amount of f 1,500,000, and allow Lt.Gov. Church
to take care of his friends in the West, and vote
those two through the Board first, and divide
the balance of the work between the two politi?
cal partiea equally, that then he would join in
making the allotment. and stated that thia pro?
position was a m? 711a 1 1. This proposal the
members present declined, and so returned an
antwtr to Chatfield" "A second note was
received from the Attorney General by the
Lieut. Governor, which he read to the members
present. In thia note Mr. Chatfield proposed
that contracts for work to the amount of
?1,000,000 be awarded to Gkobob Law, and that
Church be allowed to take care of his friends
in the West, the balance of the work to be di?
vided equally between the two political parties ;
this being done he would join 111 making the al?
lotment and help carry il through the Board,
and said this waa hia ultimatum." Theae pro?
posals were declined tnd another allotment
made, whereat Chatfield, in his indignant
virtue, announced that ha should apply for relief
on the ground of the unconatitutionality of the
law' This identical Chatfield, according to
the testimony of K. E. Pats, a Whig who
obtained section '255 at 18 cents per cubic yard,
for embankment, proposed to allot that section
to E. Peshi.is Smith, another bidder, and also
a Whig, at 20 eenta. This shows that he took
a reasonable view of things, and was disposed
to give all parties a fair grab at the spoils, If his
fstecds could bot have a good chance with the
rest.
There is, then, no more doubt that political
considerations were powerful in determining
the awards than there 1a that they were not
in all cases made to the lowest bidders. Bat,
bei?, re complaining of these facts, we most
inquire whether, as the* stand, the contracts
aie, on the whole, favorable to the m'.erests of
the State. We are persuaded that they are.
Th<y are so made that they will bo executed
without the probability of any application ta
tie Legislature for additional allowances, and
at an aggregate cost conaideraidy inferior to the
estimates on which the law for the more speedy
eaJargement was based.
One witness who went to Albany to attain a
coutiact, tPB'irie* tn having leen disgusted with
what he rdw there. W'e do not wonder at it.
We have revrr heard ol a gre it body of appli?
cant*), either lor public contracts or pub'ic Offi?
ce?, that would hot turn the stomach of any
nian of indcpetdent and upright instinct*. The
u.e atxess. the petty iStiTsguJllg, the fawning an!
I) mg that abound on such occasions, are truly
d'igii.stirg. But we see no reason to suppose
that they were more abundant or more nauseous
at this tin e thin at others. Indeed, it is our
conviction that in point of rascality and contempt
iMe chicanery the great crowd of applicants and
agents gathered at Albany by the Cinal lettii...-??,
\v*s rather better than that usually assembled
fHf such purpose*. This was due to the fact
that the usual gang of harpies was then in
creased by the presence of a sreat variety o!
lawyers, editors and other gentlemen compara?
tively green in the business. We are far from
desiring to apologize for anybody who has sinned
in this connection, but those who attempt to fix
upon the Whig members of the late Board the
charge of bribery and corruption in these let
tings, have utterly failed of their f urpose. Deci?
dedly, the party who comes off worst from this
trial is Hon. Luvt S. Chatfielii, the Loco
Fcco Attorney-General of tho State.

Washington had refused to invite liov. beward

so blind in their prejudices that they formerly re

aaked to bs discharged from the conatderation of
tho** memorials, because a bill bad been already

be discharged bad never been reported in tbe papers,
aad the people and Legialatare of Maine had beea
alarmed, believing, as tkey do, that the Coaatlttea
intended t* sire the subject ao attention at all. He
therefore ihoeght it advisable to make this explana?
