LARGKHT CITV CIRCULATION.
Tho Senate Fracas.
it will be seen by our telegraphic column,
that the caning of Sumner of Massachusetts,
did not occur while the .Senate was in session,
but After the adjournment. This puts anew
face on the affair, ami relieves Mr. Brooks
from the charge of transcending the laws, pro
prieties, &c. of Senators.
It is said that Crumpton will leave the coun
try immediately after receiving his passports,
and carry the Secretary and other members of
his Legation with him, not included iu the
dismissal, his object being to close tho Em
bassy entirely, and thus emphasize the suspen
sion of intercourse.

Geo. W. S. Hunter and Abel J. Britton, in
dicted for robbing the Tax Collector of Uoosa
county, Ala., and Thomas A. Jackson, indicted
for Negro Stealing, escaped from the Jail of
that county on tho 20tli inst. A reward of
S4OO is offered by tho Sheriff of the county,
for their apprehension and delivery ; or S2OO
for Hunter, and SIOO each for Britton and
Jackson. They are thus described in tliehand
bill sent iis:
Geo. VV. S. Hunter is about 02 years old,
heavy built, about 6 feet 8 inches high, hair
dark, but mixed witji grey, eyes of a dark
bluish cast, lie is of a swarthy or dark com
plexion, speaks rather slowly, has a kind of
swinging walk, and is u blacksmith by trade.

about 6 feet G inches high, heavy built, luvir
rather dark, very coarse and bushy, sandy or
red beard, tolerable fair skin, dark eyes, quick

Tlio Crampton Case.
Mons. Sartigos, the French Minister, Ims
endeavored, notwithstanding the supposed
hostility of the French Government, to effect
a satisfactory arrangement of the difficulty be
tween Mr. Crampton and the United States
Government. His endeavors are predicated on
the alleged apologies which have been made,
but which are not regarded as sufficient. A
correspondent of the l’hiladelphin North Amer
ican, writes:
“ Mr. Crampton explained his statement in
regard to Mr. Clayton, by asserting that the
latter culled on him to examine some old Eng
lish maps on which ltuatan and Jamaica were
designated und colored in the same wav,
whereupon Mr. Clayton admitted that both
weie evidently claimed as British possessions.
It is possible that misapprehension might have
occurred in that instance, but the explanation
does not cover the points involved in the de
clarations of Mr. Clayton, corroborated by
Senators Crittenden and Fisli. It is supposed
now Mr. Crampton will make some publication
on the subject.”
Liability of Common Carriers.
We recently published a decision of His
Honor Judge Worrell upon this subject. The
following decision of Judge Whitner of South
Carolina, rendered a few days since in the
Court of Appeals, Charleston, may also inte
rest our readers:—
“ Whilst in this State we recognize the doc
trine that a carrier may limit, by special con
tract. his common law liabilities, there is uot
tlio slightest disposition further to modify the
rules justly applicable to such transactions.
Learned Judges iu England and America have
regretted the recognition of such exceptions
The exacting tendencies of certain great cur
riers of the present day, enjoying facilities that
almost exclude competition, admonish us in the
application of these wholesome rules, carefully
to guard against any abuses. Notwithstanding
their apparent rigor, there is a salutary policy
in these common low doctrines, and those who
arc called to administer must see to it that
they are not wholly evaded. It is only neces
sary to bear in mind that the character of the
carrier is not changed; his liability only to the
extent of the exceptions is diminished In all
things else the very same principles apply.
Care and diligence are still elemeuts of the
contract, nud ‘strict proof’ is properly requi
red before any exemption can be claimed.
There is nothing iu the contract which by im
plication even can be regarded as making it
otherwise, l'hat is a sound rule that devolves
the onus on him who best knows what the facts
are. In cases of loss, proof of delivery devolves
at once on the carrier the onus of exempting
himself from liability, and nothing can be more
reasonable, before he can take shelter under an
exception, than to require proof of his care.
In the bill of lading before us ‘rust and break
age’ are excepted. Words of singular import,
and in one sense might be supposed to cover
any injury, unless the purpose was to make
the owner his own insurer. However gross
the negligence of the carrier, we are brought
back to the same point, that the exception in
cludes such breakages as care and diligence
couid not avoid. However, the legal principles
of our case being scarcely challenged, unless
in a very general way, the grounds of appeal
seem to complain that they have been rather
rigorously applied. When it is iusisted that a
particular fact being shown the onus was
shifted, this is but another form of asserting
that a sufficient excuse was proved.”
Sumner on Kansas.
In connection with the dispatch in our tel
egraphic column, stating that Mr. Brooks of
8. (J., had made a personal assault upon Mr.
Sumner of Mass., we copy tho following
sketch from the Congressional reports:
Mr. Sumner continued his Kansas speech.
Mr. Gass had listened to Mr. ,Sumner’s
speech with equal regret and surprise. It was
the most nn-American and unpatriotic speech
he ever heard on this floor. lie hoped he
might never hour such a speech again, here or
elsewhere, lie did not rise however to moke
comments on that speech, open as it was to
censure and disapprobation, hut to say that
the Senator from Massachusetts had totally
misunderstood and misapplied tlio ease ol
Michigan. The Topeka Gomrention showed no
analogy between the proceedings in Michigan
and those iu Kansas.
Mr. Douglas adverted to the malignity
which characterized Mr. Sumner’s speech, und
the many personalities iu which it abounded,
lie compared it to patchwork bed-quilt, made
up from all the old calico dresses in the house,
and abounding in classical allusion, most ol
which were from those portions of Ihe classics
which were represented in respectable aud de
cent colleges. That speech was written and
committed to memory- -practiced before a
glass, a negro boy holding a candle and watch
ing the gestures. It was rehearsed to friends,
and they repeated iu salpons of the city Whot
he was going to say.
These libels and insults so gross und vulgar
had been conned over and written with cool
and deliberate malignity, and repeated night
after night to find the appropriate grace with
which to spit them at men who differ from
him. What right had lie to arraign three
fourths of the Senate for dereliction of duty.
Did tho means by which he got “here give him
the superiorly. Mr. Douglas said he had been
arraigned as a conspirator and a traitor by a
man, (Sumner) himself guilty of crime, having
taken the oath to support the Gonatitaftiou and
then violated it. Alluding to Sumner's attack
on Senator Butler who was now absent. Mr.
Douglas said Mr. Sunnier would on his return
whisper a secret apology in Ids ear, and want
him to accept that as a proper apology. He
(Douglas) knew that was done. | Laughter.]
lie then defended Mr. Atchison from the
charge of acting the part of Cntaline.
Mr. Mason said political relations, in obe
dience to the forms of our government, bring
Senators in associations which beyond the
walls of the Senate chamber is dishonor, and
touching whose hand would be pollution.—
They were compelled to listen to language
hero to which no gentleman would lend an ear
elsewhere. They bear it in obedience to tho
Constitution, the trust of which they have un
dertaken to perform.
Mr. Mason defended Mr. Atchison, whom lie
was proud to call his friend, and said that
when Mr. Sumner dared, in the presence of
the Senate, to connect Judge Butler’s name
with au untruth, he presented himself as one
utterly incapable of knowing what truth is.
In conclusion he accused Mr. Sumner of falsi
fication with regard to his (Sumner’s) remarks
concerning Southern institutions.
Mr. Sumner said he had just been attacked
by three Senators, one (Mr. Gass) of venera
blo years, and with whom he had been on re
latinns of personal regard lougert ban with any
Senator within the sound of his voice. The
Senator from Michigan must know full well
that nothing could fall from him (Sumner)
which could possess any thing hut kindness to
ward him, and he would now say to him that
his statements regarding Michigan were found
ed on legal documents and on the principles of
Jackson, Grundy, Buchanan, Benton and the
Democratic party of that day; therefore, the
attack of Mr. Gass did not touch him, (Sum
ner,) but the old Democrats and tho Demo
cratic party.
As to Mr. Douglass lie should leave to him
the privilege of the common scold—the last
word. That Senator had the audacity to ven
ture a charge of calumny against him. lie
had said that he (Sumner) had taken oath to
support the Constitution, yet was determined
not so to support a particular clause of that
instrument. This statement Sumner gave to
face the ttattes denial, saying he replied to a
similar charge in June, 1864, as reported in
the Globe, from which he now read, in effect,
that he had sworn to support the Constitution
as he understood it—no more nor less; and
tho clause alluded to did not impose upon him
any obligation to take part, directly or indi
rectly, in restoring fugitive slaves; and vet
in the face of this, the calumny had been ex
tensively circulated, discussed and criticised
by the Senator from Illinois, who hail presum
ed to arraign him. He wished to administer
to Mr. Douglas a word of advice—to avoid ex
pending himself in gusts of vulgarity, and en
deavor to obtain that truth which is the hand
maid of wisdom; and let him remember that
the bowie-knife and bludgeon are not proper
emblems of Senatorial debate. Swaggering
and ferocity cannot add dignity to this body.
The Senator from Illinois, weltering in venom,
hail brought forth statements utterly without
foundation, heaping upon him (Sumner) per
sonalities and obloquy. No person with the
upright form of a man—
[Here Mr. Sumner paused.]
Mr Douglas—Say it; say it.
Mr. Sumner—l shall sny it. No person with
the upright form of a man can be allowed to
discharge from his tongue indecent personal
ities. The noisome, naineles animal whoso
nature it is to discharge venom, is not a prop
er model for nn American Senator. Will the
Senator take notice?
Mr. Douglass 1 shall, and certainly uot
imitate you in that respect. ( Laughter.']
Mr. Sumner—Ah ! tho Senator again sw itch
es liis tongue, und again fills tin* Senate with
offensive odor. Then, turning towards Mr.
M&sou, he continued: 1 would simply suy to
the Senator from Virginia that hard words are
not arguments—nor do scowls belong to Sen
atorial duty.
Mr. Masou was understood to say: The
Senator is certainly non rom/m mentis. (Lnueh

The Atlanta Medical College.
We find in the Intelligencer, the following
communication addressed to the Mayor ol At
lanta
Sir : Having learned that a report is in cir
culation to the effect tLat the “ Atlanta (.’al
lege. or those connected with it, have sup
plied, or attempted to supply, materials tor
dissection and demonstration in the department
of “Practical Anatomy,” by disinterments in
the cemetery of this city—we think it but jus
tiee to Ourselves, the interests which we repre
sent, and tin: public, that the tollowing state
ment of tacts should be communicated to you,
and through you to the citizens of Atlanta :
1. Il is incompatible with the interests and
policy of the Atlanta .Medical t’ollege to seek
or rely upon anatomical materials, as presum
ed in the report above alluded to.
2. No subject, white or colored, lias been
disinterred, either in the cemetery of the city
or its vicinity, during the past or present
com>e of lectures, nor in the interim, directly
or indirectly. Nothing of the kind has occur
red.
:: It is'an established regulation of the
Gollcge, that all subjects intended for dissec
tion, or any other purponu, in connection with
the institution, are furnished by its own offi
cer; and not only are not, but cannot, be furn
ished by the students.

Journalism and the Bar.
Mr, Henry Hughes, of Mississippi, delivered
an address not long since before the Alumni
Association of Oakland College, and took for
his subject the “ Recession of the Lawyers, and
the Accession of the Journalists,” which he
treated in a characteristic manner. Mr. H.
contended that the old policy, which demanded
lawyers as expounders of the constitution and
law, is passing away, and that anew movement
is beginning, in which journalists must he the
abort! couriers and pioneers. He argues that
lawyers, us a profession, study what is law and
not what ought to be law—what has been done,
not what ought to be done; while journalists,
a a class, devote themselves to the treatment
of public affairs, not only in relation to what is
law, but what ought to be law—not in relation
to the past alone, hut to the requirements of
the future. The new movement being propa
gandist iu its character, Mr. Hughes conceives,
must be carried forward by journalists, who
are better qualified and trained for propaga
ting and popularizing ideas and creeds than
lawyers, and therefore lie infers that journal
ists must occupy the first place in society, as
the thinking, writing, and governing class.
Wagon Road from California to Missouri.
Drs. Hill and Hicheock, who have jnst ar
rived from California, are a committee ap
pointed by the citizens of that State to present
through the California delegation, a memorial
asking Congress to open a wagon road from
Missouri to California, within and through our
own territory. The memorial is signed by
between seventy and eighty thousand citizens
of California, and bound in two large folio vol
umes of 1,000 pages each, in a style perhaps
never equalled by any memorial ever present
ed to Congress.
Anecdote of the late Dr. Warren.
An anecdote is related of the late Dr. War
ren which is characteristic of his coolness,
lie was performing one of the most difficult
operations known to science, surrounded by
numerous students. “Gentlemen,” lie said,
after he had laid the knife down, “the patient
is in a critical condition, but (and he took out
his watch) if lie survives five minutes, there
is some hope of his recovery.” Breathless
anxiety was pictured ou every countenance.
One —two —three minutes sped away—the pa
tients eyes were closed. Four—five—six and
seven minutes passed, and all faces were turn
ed on the doctor, who closed his watch and
walked away, remarking “Gentlemen, the pa
tient has been dead six minutes.”

Idolatry in America.
The San Francisco correspondent of the
New York Herald writes that Rhudaism lias
been formally inaugurated in California. After
many disappointments the Chinese population
of that city have imported a wooden god, ami
all the paraphernalia of their worship for the
purpose, ami erected them as a permanent in
stitution in its midst. The festival, ns it was
called, commenced on the 4th, and was con
tinued to the Bth, occupying five days. The
edifice in which it was held was erected in
1853, and is situated in Pine street. It is of
a singular style of architecture, the entrance
being through narrrow and devious passages,
having on each side high walls. A general in
vitation was extended to the people of San
Francisco, through the press, to visit the
building, and all who availed themselves of it
were treated with politeness.
Petrifaction.
Nine years ago a man died of dropsy and
was buried in Middlesex, Yt., and it being de
sirable to remove the corpse to Pomfert re

at his death. The corpse weighed five hun
dred and titty pounds. Wliat is more remark

Sunday iu Denmark.
The people of Denmark are described as
pretty regular church attendants, compared
with other continental nations ; but iu Copen
hagen the devotions are principally confined
to attending the morning service. In the af
ternoon of Sunday, when the weather is fa
vorable, nearly the whole population resort to
the suburbs, and indulge in numerous kinds
ot gay recreation. \et all is orderly, affording
a great contrast with the drunkenness which
exists on the Babbath in large towns of Eng
land and Scotland, where such extraordinary
efforts are made to check every species of
amusement.
Estimate of an Editor’s Chances.
Some weeks ago, Major B s, of the J—l,

eloquent divine, of the Universnlist faith, at
oue ol the Hulls in this city. There were not
many persons present—not half as many as the
abilities ot the speaker should have drawn out
—and two or three “ rapid” youths sitting be
hind us, began to criticise the persons compo
sing the auditory. Presently, said one who

“ I hat s Major B- —s, ain't it?”
“Well it is. sum. horse-fly,” responded his

frequently. The Hon. L. M. Iveitt, also from

vocation was Mr. Sumner’s speech on Mr.
Butler.
