Cuss bus written, within tho past three months, thrun iliffuront letters, (and wo know not how many more.) in which the Administration, of whoso variableness ho U a fitting reprosontativo, is inudo to assume tlnoo dissimilar positions, in regard to the rights of naturalized citizens. Somo of our ooutomporarios huvo urrangod tho most im portant passages in thoso three letters, aide by Bido, in separate columns, that their read ers may bo tho better enabled to judgo of their respectivo moritsj and, rnally, it should suom that, among all tho3o difforont "views of tho Administration," unougli good might bo found to harmoni.o tho various elements of tho Democratic party. In his letter to Lo Clerc, dated Juno 11th, (ion. Cuss says: "I havo to stato that it is understood that tho I'rench Government claims military servico from all nutives of Franco who may bo found within its jurisdiction. Your natu ralization in tho country will not exempt you fiom that claiin.should you go thiihor." Tliero is a Bhade of difFoioiico between tho doctrine of tho above extract, und that advauced in Gun. Cass' letter to Hofer, of tho samo (Iuto, which may possibly ho ac counted for hy the fact that tho latter was written a low hours tutor in tho day. The General's feelings might havo uiidurgouo a " great chnngo, " ( they aro subject lo changes,) or it is possible t hut ho had somo promouition of tho storm of indignation with which bis original doctrine, (which is b'elioved to ho tho real doctrine of tho Ad- miuiatiation,) would bo reooivod bv oil pnr- ties. At all cvor.ts. ho thus "tacks around. preparatory to a final renuticiation of Lis first position: communinutoil to our minister at Berlin' for i no position oi mo t inted Mates, as tho information of lint Prussian Govern ment, is, that n.itivo-born frustums natu ralized in tha United States and returning to tho country of their birth, aro not I'ulilo to any duties or penalties, exeipt such as were existing ut the period of tho.r emigration." On tbo 8th of July, Gen. Cuss had expo riencud another and greater change. His vision had boenmo mora clear, and ho saw I tho naturalized citizen in a now light.

AN AWFUL TRAGEDY IN CLEVELAND. Probable Murder of Elisha T. Sterling. immding the i a. as devrlorl before the jury. W ihmn to believe ilmt the Irncmre waicnnwd .ym b,1 ,. ; wh hand, ihey cannot h.

" I - on I Sunk St., (iho one, we ouppose, in which llie Lake Erie l'.iper Mill Company have llitir store,) in an unconscious con dition, nnd breathing liU last. It Hppeais fiom the testimony before tho Coroner's Jury, '.hut Mr. Sterling Imd been tit n Mr. .Sherinnn's room, in the third s'ory of the building, engntd in drinking and t;ainblin, from hIxjiiI II o'clock, on S.it- unlay niLMit, till iihoul a o clock, on Suiiiliiy morning, when lie left for bis home. The leader of Monday eay : 'J lie community was startled into iutenso excitement yesterday morning, by the re port that rapidly passed from mouth to mouth, that Ki.isha T. tkki.inu, ono of (Cleveland's old residents, u man universally honored ond ro'pected, one of tho most prominent business men of tho city, and the Agent and general manager ot the Cuy ahoga Furnace Company, hud been found upon Rank street, covered with blond uud under circumstances indicating foul play Tho facts in tho case tnu9t bo taken from tho evidence us given below. It appeurs that Mr. Steiii.i.nu was in tho company of; Mr. K. Sherman that the two wont to Sherman's room about 11 o'clock, and that vpstnruuv morning no was touiul iy JJr. Dickinson in Sherman's room just breathing his last, fiom the t fleet of a fracture i f the bkuii. All lunuepi Him canon n ine noui-o of tho deceased, No. 10. Kuelid street. An examination o f Iho body wus here made by Dr. Cubbing, insisted by Dr. Sterling, neph ew of tho deceased. Tho result of that ex amination will bo found below. Tlio news came like a thunder clap npon tho city. ;) rory body know Mr. Sterling. For many yours ho had been ono of the most oiiierpiising and capnblo business men of the city, l'rotmbly nr. man in the Stale had more real practical knowledge of ma chinery, and particularly enginery than ho. As Agent of tho Cuyahoga Works, his name wus known fur and wide. His locomotive, steamboat, aud propeller engines turn wheel uud crank over all tho western roads and i waters. The news that -Klislm Sterling is dead." will bo read and told over all thoi dead," will bo rend and told over all the broad country, and tho thrill whistle of the engines from his putorn, and built under ilf suu, j,Ul.udoiico, will sound a requiem to his memory. Mr. Sherman's room is in tho third story oftlio brick block at tho north east corner of Iiuuk aud I'raukfort streets. 'To reueb the room two (lights of stairs puss from the open hull on the Rank street sido. The lowor flight, Iho foot ot which is somo six feet from tho sido walk, fills the hull. At thu head of this (light is a landing of pur hups ten foot. ThrHie'cnnd (light occupies only hull the width of tho hall, a walk reach ing buck to the othor odious. Those stairs aro in ruiigo, so that one (standing at thu head of iliu upper ilight can see to the street. When the crowd gathered about tho seeno of the tragedy thoro wus a largo pool of blood upon tho second stair, somo upon tho lower stair nnd a quantity upon tho puvenient outside tho dnor. Slier- man, who is perhaps the man who saw Mr. oiuiiiiiu iai, ami pumupa inn, mib nu ium down tho stairs and out upon the pavement, but nil tlio medical men w ho testihod yes terday, Dr. dishing, Dr. Sterling, Dr. Gar lick and Dr. Mathevet, all agree that the iViictnro of thu skull, such us caused his death, could not havo reo ill toil from falling downstairs, us Shermnii ssjg ho did, in a tumbling way. Tlio inquest was held ull day yesterday ut Cliupin's Hall, the jury consisting of Charles Steisnn, Geo. A lion edict, A. M. I'erry, T. S. l'uddnck, Clmiies Rruilhurn and Dr. A. Muyuurd. Tbo Leader of Tuesday says : Tho coroner's jury was occupied during ull of yesterday afternoon in taking testi mony relative to iho cause of Mr. Sterling's death. Thu greatest interest und suspense was felt as tho anxious crowd gathered into Cliupin's Hull to listen to tho evidence, tes tified. Various opinions uud theories wore rife as to tlio manner of his death. That ho fell from tho upper window to tho pave ment : and that ho was met ut the foot of tlio stairs by ruffians who dealt tho fatal blow, wero the most generally received. The idea that his death was caused by fall ing down stairs, has few supporters, after the evidence of five medical men that the injury could not havo been produced in that wuy. Tho witness whosu stutenient throws tho most light ns yet upon the circum stnnces of his death, in Tliomus D'Orsay, an employee ut Goodale & Co. 'a wool depot, directly opposite tho seeno of tho tragedy. If his statement is to be taken ns truth, ami there is uo reason to doubt it that wo know of, then ho hud it in his power to have cleared up all mystery about tho affair, hud ho not timidly hung buck. Ho states that he saw two men, ono of whom was Mr. Sterling, standing talking at the foot of thoso stairs; that threo other men camo up to them from tho North ; that these throe men soon passed on to Superior street ; that tho other two, Mr. Sterling be ing ono, hud somo talk about money at tho stairway that Mr. Sterling suid ''go uwny, 1 Uont want any thing to do with you, or' words to that effect ; that ono of them had a caoo in his hand ; that they wero standing talking when ho went into the store; that in twenty minutet ufter.'ho went out aud fa iv u man lying in or near that door-way, and 1 1 m t he started to go across to him, but turned round when half across tho street and wont buck into tlio store where he staid. Now if this is so, thoro is very little doubt but that tho murdered man might have told D'Orsay tho ctiuso ond means of his death Ho hud just been struck and lived for threo hours utter, but after being taken up stairs was ton unconscious to spoak. Tho Wedded House watchman states that ho heard u scream or yoll at 20 minutes past 3 o'clock Sunday morning. Ho saw a number of men upon Dunk street, hut no body was in tho doorway or on tbo sidewalk. Another watchman, Mr. Wilcox, saw 10 or 12 men on Hunk street about 2 o'clock, and 8 or 0 on tho street about 4 o'clock. Mr. Sterling was not with the second crowd, but may have boon with tho first. Nn body wus ly'uig on tho walk at 4 o'clock. Mr. Nowcomb at tho American heard screams, a fall and running footsteps. Altogether, thoro is a great mysiory enshrouding the ease, which unfolds but slowly. It is tho general opinion that a fearful crimo has uoen committed, but by whom, tiino and eir cumstoncos must show. The Coronor'a Jury retired at half-pant len, A.

All the iutimatu friends of the deceased know that under the influence of the least Btimu hint he was not responsible for anything bo did. lie was a thoroughly deranged man whenever that mvBtorious and all con- 'rolling gnawing of appetite led him to uso Intoxicating liquor. Mr. Sma.iNj was not an intomperato man habitually. Thut is. ho did not daily indulge in strong drink.

In his hoars of reflection, tears, bitter tours, repentant tears, liouest tears woulu stroam down Ins face in view of his calamity ; ho sought strength against his (emptor in pruyor und in tours. In justice to his momory wo feel that nothing connected even with bis closet life should be withheld. Hs case, as wo boliov., wus one whom tho ilesiro for stim ulants was a ithease, and such a diseaso as, at limes, no human strength coiid resist. As a correct, upright.

Wo wish that wherever the sad testimony of his death shall bo read that there too shull bo road this tribute from ono who knew him inti mately nod who nt times within a very lute period, has been admitted to his bosom con fidence upon this lamentable error of his tutor life.

Blondin at the Falls. Next to Louis Napoleon, Blondin Is con fessedly tho most wonderful of frenchman. At tho Falls yesterday, ho performed nil ho promised, and moro. Retwecn 4 and 5 o'clock, ho crossed tho rope for tho fourth timo. Ho was dressed in Indian costume. His journey to the Canada sido wai nut marked by unv lout of peculiur during. He went over on a trot, merely halting for nn instant to balance himself. His homeward trip, howover. completely eclipsed his pre vious feats. When about ouo quarter of tho way across, ho stood nn his head, hold ing thu balunco polo in his hands. A little further along, ho laid down on his buck. with uppntout composure. When nonr the center of tho rope, ho lied his balunco polo to the guy rope, nnd navigated by means of his hands and feot, his body being in a stato of susputidod animation beneath. Af ter proceeding some distance in this way. he ussumed a perpendicular position nnd returned for tho liallanoe pole, nud then walked on. Another feat which ho per formed was, turning a sort of hand spring. Lying down oil his back, ho extended tho balance-polo tho length of his arms, and thou threw his body over tho polo, striking nstiido the rope. Without tho polo, ho hung by ono log from the rope, and sup ported himself by ono arm. During his passago, ho stood on his head several times, and performed a variety of feats which wo havo not timo to recapitulate.

Washington National Monument. The construction of the Washington National Monument, after a suspension of several years is to he resumed under the direction of Lieut. J. C. Ives, of the Topographicol Engineers. It is proposed to request the Postmasters throughout the country to give aid to the enterprise, by placing boxes in their respective offices for the reception of contributions, and for warding '.he returns to Washington. How ever insignificant the amounts may be, they will swell to an important aggregate when collected from 30,000 post offices throughout the United Stales. A few cents a month, transmitted regularly by each, would suffice, in a few years, to raise the abaft to its intended height. The Postmaster General, in a letter dated July SGlh, heartily concurs in the movement.! rittiburgh Gaiette, The Last Rail Road Slaughter. J Tho catastropho on the Northern Rail road by which somo twonty tiros wore lost, occurred at Schaghtocoko about twonty miles north of Albany. The trcssol work of tho brideo which gavo way with a crash was some 300 feot long and when tho cars went on tha bridgo they foil 38 fcot, and sank into 8 feet water.

Cleveland Lea der, Friday. The Great Wool Sale. I I Tho great enccefs of tho Wool Fair just held in this city, is cause of great congratula tion to Northern Ohio, nnd especially so to our citv, for it establishes Cleveland as tho groat wool mart, not only for Northern Ohio, but for tho Mississippi Valley. This city, by being tho great local point, where lies tho natural middle ground between tho consuming KaBt and tho producing West, has, of course, local advantages which des ignate it ns tho rallying spot lor wool grow ers, woo! dealers and wool consumers. Yet these advantages roquiio direction to give them full dtluct, nnd Messrs.

Wo hninrv indifnfl. thnrn worn mnrn wnnl buyers hero at tho Fair than thoro woro wool growers: and that tact shows that tho Kustcru Manufacturers uro ready to co operate in this grout movement which is of so much moment to thu wool interests of Ohio. Tho only fear hud, wus upoti tho part of tho growers, who, looking upon tbo Fair us nn experiment, were on tho start a littlo timid, fearful perhaps, thnt tho Fair would not uttraut tho attention of wool con sumers sufficiently to prevent combinations among bidders that would bo ruinous to tho wool growers' interest. Tho first hour of thu sale dispelled that fear, for in that hour the ilirTcmnt classes of buyers woro " felt of" by tho offering of various lots and grudoB of wool, and it became apparent that tliero wero buyers lor ull tho wool uud at good prices. Wo supposo tho Bales roachod iP'JjO.OOO a big day's woik. This wool, for tho most part, was raised within a circuit of ono hun dred miles. Although thoro wero many samples from othor states, the heaviest lots, howovor, woro from tho region round ubout us.

Kvory thing was conducted so far as wo could learn upon honorable, high minded hiikinoBS ground.

The Washington correspondent of (lit Herald says he received information of Ilia landing o! large cargoes of slaves in Flor ida, which he regards as confirmed by tht silence of the Southern press on the sub ject. He continues: "I have no doibt that time will develope some startling facia in the history of slavery since May 1858, There are said to exist depots of sava ges in over SO large cities or towns at the South, in some of which the initiated may find Ui era at times to the number of sever al hundred. Among the places where these depots are to be found, Charleston, Memphis and Columbus have been named by a person whom I think trustworthy add reliable, who informed me that he had visited (hem, and that he had seen alto gether in .there three places about 4)00 im ported blacks. He said it was notorious throughout Georgia and Alabama six weeks ago thnt quite a fleet of slavers is expected to land cargoes within a month or two on one of the Florida inlets not far trom Key West.
