Squatter Sovereignty.—In answer to the

are opposed to squatter sovereignty—and have
ever been since the principle was udvunccd.
Can the Republican say as much for its candi

We have published the mgJorRy report of the
Committee on Slavery, made to the General Ae-
eembly or the Methodist Church North, In see-
aion at Indianapolis, making alaveholding a dU*
qualification for church membership. It seems
probable that this report will be adopted. Out*
side Abolition influence is said to have been to*
tivcly at work, with a view to briug about such
action aa would bear upon the result of thePrc*
aidential election. A correspondent of the St.
Louis Republican thus alludes to the pest, by
way of contrast with the present, exhibiting, aa
a cotemporaiy remarks, 44 the progress made in
that body by the fell spirit of Political Religion.
i«n, since its withdrawal from the conservative
Christian influence of the Chnrch South.
"At the General Conlcrence of 1830, which
sat at Cincinnati, there were then but about four
or live prominent members of that body who
would avow Abolition sentiments ; now they
claim from two-thirds to three*fourths of the
whole body. In the election of delegates to re
present the various Annual Conferences in the
present session of the General Conference, the
slavery question wasuiado the test in every
case. The editors of the Northern church Do
pers, had kept the question constantly before
the public eye. with a definite object m view,
viz: that the holding of slaves should be made
a bar to church membership, by a rule of dis
cipline to be adopted at this session of the Gen
eral Con fereucc. The Con ference has met, and
a committee on slavery, consisting of ope mem
ber from eech Annual Conference, thirty-eight
In all, has been appointed. In this, and all
other standing committees, the delegation from
each Annual Conference appoints one of its
members to represent them on these commit
tees; hence we may conclude that the member
selected for- the Committee on Slavery, fairly
represents the sentiments of his colleagues and
Conference on that subject.
I have taken considerable naius to ascertain
the strength of parties on this committee, and
the result is, that 1 find there are twenty-six out
of thirty eight for extreme measures on the

We would recommend to our friends in Caro- in the wisdom of the conclusion to which he
iiua that the presentation of the stick and piece
of plate to Mr. Brooks bo portioned to some
more suitable occasion. The act of Mr. Brooks
was a purely personal matter with himself; it
was a necessary act, from the fact of Mr Sum
ner’s irresponsibility in u personal way. It
seems to us to be bad taste, and rather taking a
leaf from the book of Beecher, Theodore Par
ker, and others. How would it sound for the
gentleman who presents these offerings to say—
Mr. Brooks, allow me, in behalf of the citizens
of , to present you with a cane, Ac., in
testimony of our high nppreciat lou of the mas
tcrly and able manner in wlricb you threshed
the abolitionist Sumner, Ac.,—as these things
are usually done ? We do not like to interfere
in the affairs of our sister State, but should like
to see the Charleston and Columbia papers en
deavor to put a stop to the further prosecution
of the matter. To say the least of it, it would
l>e placing Mr. Brooks in rather a rediculous
position, inasmuch as it would appear that Mr
Bry.iks was more valued for the strength of his.
arm than his prowess in debate. We ask the
consideration of this idea from the Carolinians.
comes—
•• Should tlie extreme measures, now arrived
at by the Abolitionists, lie adopted, uud the
minority so far acquiesce in such an action us
to endure it, the effect would be that the An
nual Conferences now orguuizcd in Missouri,
Arkansas, Kentucky, Western Virginia and
even Maryland und Delaware, would lie com
pelled to withdraw, or cease to form any part
of the M. K Church. For it is concluded by all
that no slave Stuto would tolerate the exist
ence of a Church in their iuid»t under the cont
trol und government of such ultra measures. It
is tofsave annihilation of these conferences that
will force the conservatives, as they call them
selves, to re-organize and form a new body. It
would be far lietter, however, if all the Slave
States would unite in one organization—all join
the Chuich South, and let the free States unite
undivided iu another. This must ultimately lie
the result, uud the sooner the matter is per
manently settled the better.”
The following is an outline of the report of
the minorty
44 Not beimr able to agree with the majority,
they have agreed to present the following rea
sons :—l. It conflicts with the constitutional
provisions of the church, which prohibits the
alteration or revoking of our Genera! Rules, ex
cept by the concurrent action of the General
and Annual Conferences. This report proposes
to make a new test of membership, oy making
the fact of slavcholding a bar to membership
hereafter, and nlso affects the standing of our
present members, by requiring them to be
brought liefore a committee for an offence not
now known—and this is to lie done, by the bare
majority of the General Conference instead of
twodhirda of both Geueral and Annual Confer
ences. Thus making emancipation and non-
slaveholding a test of membership. 2. Because

What Is Thought of It.
The New York Day Rook thinks—and we are
of the aarae opinion—that if Mr. Brooks had
given the Abolitionists one hundred thousand
dollars in cash to electioneer with he would not
have done them so great a favor as by flogging
Mr. Sumner—though its editor confesses that
ho has scarcely seen a man, who has read Sum
ner’s speech, who does not say he was served
just right.
A dispatch from Washington says: .

It adds :

majority.”
At the date of our latest advices from the
Convention nearly two days hud been occupied
in tlie discussion of tlie question. A correspon
dent uf tlie Philadelphia Journal says :
... , ... , ... „ , The very best of feeling prevails, and us yet

States into determined antagonists, they must
unite with their conservative fellow-citizcus in
those States iu frowriing upon and denouncing
alt such attempts to bully and frighten those
who differ iu sentiment from them, ns that
perpetrated by Mr. I*. S. Brooks upon Mr.
Sumner.”
The Commercial intimates very explicitly for
itself and its canter native (?) friends, that if tlie
South does not niuko haste to rebuke Mr.
Brooks, they, for their part, will join tlie Aboli
tionists. To which, all that we have to say is,
gentlemen, do your worst: we ask no favors.
And our opinion is that the sooner those who
were waiting for such an excuse as that fur
nished by the act of Mr. Brooks (much as we
may regret that act) to take themselves into
tlie Abolition camp—tho sooner they join the
traitors the better. A ml if it will help them on
any, we promise to retract all that we may liuve
intimated in the way of disapproval of Sumner’s
chastisement.
The following we find in a letter from Wash
ington :
"Mr. Crittenden said: 'This is u shameful
outrage ;’ to which Senator Toombs replied:
• No, it is not.’ Mr. Crittenden rejoined: 4 The
Senate is no place for it.’ Senator Toombs an
swered : 4 Tho Senate is the very place for it. 1 ”
The Richmond Examiner thus remark* upon
the " outrage: ”
44 llo concludes a two days’ discharge of
scholarly platitudes and pedantic dullness by
venting a Lltliy stream of billingsgate on heads
hoary with age; answers insult from men who
would afford him personal satisfaction with vul
gar epithet: und when caned for cowardly vitu
peration, falls to tlie floor an inanimate lump of
incarnate cowardice, and most glorious exem
plar of the man of ptuce."
The following is from the Richmond I ring:
"A Goon I)kki».—As will be seen by tele
graph, Mr. Brooks, of Smith Carolina, alter tlie
adjournment of tin* Senate mi yesterday .admin

foul mouthed Abolitionist from Ma»saehui<elts,

joiced at this. The only regret we feel is, that
Mr. Brooks did not employ a horsewhip or a
cowhide upon his slanderous back, instead of a
cane. Wo trust tho ball limy be kept in mo
tion. Howard and others should catch it next.”
The Annapolis Caxottu slates that efforts are

Two young colored men passed through HI*

and during tho spring and summer months does

that tlie report will not he adopted, and that no
change will be made in tlie discipline. Great
interest is felt by the outsiders, among whom
are men from ull sections of our church.
Lord Goderich.—Lord Goderich, who has
taken up the Central American question in the
British Parliament, is a young nobleman of high
promise, and a great admirer of American in
stitutions. Ho is tlie oldest son of I/ird Itipou,
who ut one time was Premier fora few months,
and known, for his wunt of success,as "Goosey
Goderich.” He was afterwards President of
the Board of Trade under Sir Robert Peel’s ad
ministration. Tho present Lord Goderich’s
politics differ from those of ills family. He is
a strong radical. On tho death of ids father
and uncle, Karl do Grey, tho two fortunes will
be merged in him, and he will lie, after Lord
Westminster, probably the wealthiest peer in
England.
Tho Bucks County Intelligencer says: There

is tlie 44 fruit season” in this region, although
we hud a pretty liberal crop of fruit in this
county last year.

Reports ql Committees were next iu order.
Committee on Lota and Wharves, Alderman
Bradley, Chairman, touching the application of
Messrs. McAIpin and Stiles to land brick at the
public wharf, reported unfavorably. Alderman
Lackllson moved a reconsideration of the re
port, and offered a minority report. Alderman
Lacklison thought brick a product of the soil,
and therefore entitled, underexistingordinon-
ance, to land. Alderman Allen thought, upon
Jha.same principle, cotton could be landed. He
contended tlie ordinance referred to was intend
ed to allow only the landing of vegetables and
small wares. Alderman Cohen read tlie ordin
ance, showing what could be landed, confirming
AUfehnan Allen’s view. Alderman Arnold
thought the ordinance plain, uud would sustain
the majority report. He would vote for confirm
ing tlie majority report.
Alderman O'Byrne spoke in favor of the
minority report. Alderman Posy spoke in favor
of the majority report. Alderman Kelly moved
the question. Minority report confirmed. All
other reports confirmed, among which were one
extending the lease of the ground story of the
Exchange to R. B. Hilton & Co.; one allowing
Mr. Thommassy, certain privileges in the manu
facture of salt, &c. &c.
A communication was offered to the Board
by Air. Robt Habersham, relative to the erection
of a wooden addition to the residence of W.
Neil Habersham, desiring to have the matter
referred to Council, to know If tlie improve
ments wero Iu violation of the Fire Ordinance.
Alderman Walker moved a reference of tlie
matter to a Special Committee. Aldermen Posey
and Allen favored immediate action. Alder
man Walker simply wished to have tho ordi.
nance observed—he would not oppose tlie im
provements if they are not in conflict with the
law. Dr. Posey proposed au amendment to tlie
existing Fire Ordinance to allow tin or tnctul
to lie used as a covering to additions to houses.
Alderman Arnold approved Dr. Posey’s sug
gestion, and moved an amendment to the ordi
nance accordingly. Aldermen Allen, Bradley.
O’Byrne and Cohen, spoke upon the subject,
Alderman Basinger offered an amendment to the
2d section of the Fire Ordinance, allowing the
use of tin. Alderman Arnold’s motion prevailed.
Alderman Basinger’s proposed amendment
to the Fire Ordinance was referred to Commit
tee on Fire Department.
An amendment to tlie Ordinance relative to
the place of holding Police Court, requiring the
Court to be held at tlie Exchange only, was
road. A motion was made to lay the proposed
amendment on the table. Alderman O’Bryne
sustained the amendment; butwonld consent to
have the matter laid over if ho could see any
necessity for delay. Iu petty offences ouly, Al
derman O’Byme had no objetion to have tried
at the Guard House; but thought, all things
considered, one place should be fixed upon—
either hold the Court at the Guard House or the
Exchange. Alderman Arnold, seconded Alder
man Walker’s motion to lay the matter on the
table until next meeeting of Council. Carried.

stun. In a similar case, Thomas Heury, trustee
Ac., petition referred. Caroline S. Compton
was relieved from erroneous tax. Michael Kill,
mau was relieved from double tax. J, M. Guer-
rurd, relieved from erroneous tax return. B.
Hammond granted similar relief.

The special committee, to whom was referred
tho matter relative to the construction of tlie
Mamin School House, reported that thus fur ull
tlie work luid been accomplished in u substan
tial uud workmanlike manner—iu all respects
(ucditnble to tlie architect and builder.
Alderman Allen referred to street gossip re
lative to tills building. Alderman Cohen asked,
in substanco, of Alderman Allen if ho intended,
in what he said of "street gossip,” to refer hi
any manner to himself—(Alderman Cohen)—
to which Alderman Allen replied—"well, If
you pleuse so to consider it.” Aideman Cohen
responded: "Sir,! pronounce you a puppy—
you have suid you hold yourself rrxpomiblr, und
1 hope you will prove yourself so.” Alderman
Cohen was immediately culled to order. Con
siderable discussion followed among tlie respec
tive members of the Board.
Alderman O’Byrno opposed tlie reception of
tho report, principally on tho ground tliut two,
If not tlirco, of tlie Committee had previously
expressed un opinion in favor oi the building,
and, therefore, not competent to act
Aid. Arnold did not wish to consume time -
he originated the moveineent of Die Committee
The Commltteo, composed of cxiierts—men
of character In tlieir profession—huvo given the
matter careful Investigation, and he moved tho
report lio spread upon tbe minutes uf the Coun
cil, and that the same be published.
Alderman Cohen had no objection to receive
and print, but was opposed to approval. Upon
motion of Alderman Arnold, tho report was re
ceived and ordered printed. He next moved
the adoption of the report. Alderman Cohen
wished his name recorded os saying no. Upon a
call of ayes and noes, the following was the re
sult, viz:
Ayes—Aldsrmen Bradley, Champion, Basin;
ger, Kelly, LacKllsott, Cooper, Posey, Arndld.
Noes—Aldermen O’Byrno, Walker, Cohen.
Aid. Walker said be voted no ou the ground
that be considered it sanctioning a plain viola
tion of ordinance.
A communication was read from D. It Dillon
relative to valuation of a certain building foot
of West Broad street, ou the wharf, belonging
to the city.
Aid. Champion offered a isolation to pay
Mr. D. $050 for said building. Adopted.
Aid. Cohen arose to apologise to his Honor
and to the Board for luuguage applied to Aid.
Allen; but wished it distinctly understood that
he did not withdraw the remark personally to
Alderman Allen, unless tlie cause for tlie same
was withdrawn.
Alderman Allen replied tliat the remarks
were intended alike " for Alderman Cohen and
others’’—or for any one uud ull who had parti
cipated in the 44 gossip ’* alluded to. Alderman
Cohen said he had indulged in no gossip, but in
ull he had said he had been specific. Alderman
Allen said he had reference to the general de
bate and to tulk on the street, and nothing per
sonal to Alderman Cohen: upon this explana
tion Alderman Cohen replied he would cheer
fully withdraw tlie epithet applied to Alderman
Allen.
In this report we may not have retained the
precise language of the Aldermen in ail things,
but we believe we have preserved tlie substance
of what was xiid.

By the balk Puuanui, Capt. Graves, we have
flies of papers from Rio Janeiro to the 4tlt lilt.,
and to correspondingly late dates from other
parts of the empire, and also trom tlie adjacent
countries.
Tho cholera continues its ravages throughout
the greater part of the empire, in Rio de Ja
neiro, however, it had uimo»t disappeared. The
total numlftr of deaths from cholera, from the
time of its lir.-t appearance to the 31st of March,
is repotted iu tlie Journal de Commerdo, of the
2d of April, as 4^25. Of the victims 2,311)
were free.2.171 slaves, uud 32 not stated: of
mules and k-niulcs respectively, there were free
1,153 und S(il; slaves l,7t#7 and t’»*7 : not stated
30 and 2—making a total of 3,272 males uud
l ,553 females.
Iu the Journal do Commerce), ol the 3lst of
March, accounts are given of tlie ravages of the
disease in other provinces. A letter dated Sao
Luiz, March Nutates that iu that capital of
Maratiiiao, tie- disease had changed uud assum
ed the appeuruucc of the epidemic dysentery, or
of u dyseutericepidemic. The mortality from
tills cause, during the flr.«t sixdayaofthe month
is reported at 18, outol'u total ol‘30, iu the popu
lation of about 30.U00. The weather was very
hot there.
A letter dated Parahyba, March 17, represents
both tlie city and the province generally, of tliut
name, to lie in a lamentable condition from the
afllictions of the scourge, it is regarded us
having reserved the word, of its malignity, its
treachery, and its tenacity, for that portion of
tho empire, in the capital itself,the population
of which is given at lo.OUU, the mortality of tlie
ltitli was ID, and had never been less than 30 a
day since the disease broke out, nml the pro
portion was similar iu other parts of the pro
vince. Thu inhabitants were so afraid of tlie
contagion of tlie disease that hooks were used
to change tlie linen of tlie patients; uud inter-
meut at the capital was liecoming very difficult.
On the banks of the river Parahyba, where
tho disease was nt first very severe, it had slight
ly abuted in malignity. Ou the sea coast uud
on the river Mamangoane, on the. other hand,
it was committing terrible havoc. There were
not medical men enough to attend to tbo sick,
those there were demanding exorbiant fees,
remedies were scarce, and what was worse still,
there was a scarcity of provisions, increasing
from day to day. Natuba, which had just suffer
ed sadly from un foundation, had been next ut
terly desolated by tlie iiestileuce, iu live days.
In the Proviucc of Peruurobaco, the disease
had been no less mortal, but is reported to have
appeared to be about to decline. A communi
cation, dated Recife, March ID, says that tbe
previous day the deaths nmounted to sixty-three,
making n total of 2,040, since the commence
ment of tiio disease. This is a sad proportion,
even if the population of thewhole district—
some 38,000, according to Lippincott's Gazette
—is referred to, and terrible indeed, ifonly tliut
of the city proper—18,000*-is regarded; uml
tho latter appears to be what is intended by tbe
writer.
In Iguatassu and Goyannu, tlie disease con
tinued with unabated malignity. Some propri
etors there hud become no longer able to curry
on tlieir estates, their slaves having all died;
and at Nazareth, it is stated, not only all tlie
slaves died, hut the proprietor, his wife, and

tVc quote a, following from a tote Paris
letter ;
Julia Locompte announced some time ago that
a women’s Club was then forming In rails in
the quarter or the Chaawe d'Anttn, and that»
soon os the organisation wai perfected he would
publlah Its Constitution. The following a a
ranslatiou of the precioua document as given
by this writer: ... ,

Art. 11. To respond to tho wish of the lega-
trice, the following conditions will be impera
tively observed by the Club: They ure placed
under the vigiiauce of the President und Trea
surer. Any infraction of them will roudertbe
two officers just named liable to destitution, on
the simple proposition of two members, whether
of the en deca or tbe au dtlu.
(Tlie reader should be informed thut the Club
of the Revolted is founded in execution of the
wish of the widow Uaudouin, who died two
years ago, leaving the sum of seven hundred
thousand francs to four testamentary executrix
es, named with u view to the foundation of the
Club in question. Madame Boudoniu was twice
nmrrricd. The daughter of a speculator in silks,
she had inherited more than three millions of
francs; a superior officer uudjimiuodcrutc trav
eler lead dissipated for her a pavt of this patri
mony. Tlie reader will see tue use she makes
of the rest, uud will conjecture tlie icvcugeiul
object she liad in view.)

ert, shall lie vigorously closed to all men, no
mutter of what profession, or under wliut pre

this favor extend beyond a year.
Art 21. The number of subscribers being on
the 1st of April, 1850, one hundred Indies ful
filling the rigorous condition required, tbe Club

Such arc tlie provisions of this curious docu
ment! Tlie reader perhaps knows that within u
few years maHcuuue clubs have augmented
so considerably in Paris that the other sex arc al
most deprived ol* eveiilng society. Tlie com
plaints of wives, sisters and others uguiust the
dubs is the perpetual subject of conversation,
which the few adventurous men who do go into
society are obliged to hear. Then the Bourse,
the horse-race, the chase, the stable, the green-
rooms of the theatre, tho pipe, etc., help enor
mously to swell the incentives to tlie formation
of such a club as tliat of the Revolts. The
name itself indicates the nature of the institu
tion. It is organised to carry on reprisals.
The same chronicler who gives the above
copy of tho Constitution, says that there is a se
crct annexe, which, among other piquant pro
visions, gives to members tlie right to inscribe
on a bulletin board, placed in one of the rooms
of tho club, the name and qualities of any per
son or persons of whom they may have suffered
wrongs, with a statement of the nature of the
wrongs.
The Club is organized on a high basis of re
spectability. Tlio black ball has been freely used,
and it will be curious to follow the operations of
this unique institution.

that Hans owed Ynwkub twenty dollars.

Mr Saiuuer having been waited on by the
House Committee gave a statement of the uflair
—He says after the adjournment, lie continued
at hia seat waiting for the mail. We quote ns
follows ;
While thus intent, with my head bent ever
my writing, I was addressed by a pereon vs in-
approached the front of my desk, so entirely
unobserved that I was not aware of his pres
ence until I heard my name pronounced. As i
looked up, with my pen in my hand, I saw a
a foil man, whose countenance was not Imili-
ur standing directly over me, and nt the same
moment 1 caught these;; wordss "I have read
your speech twice over carefully, it is a libel
ou South Caroliua and Mr. Butler, who i* &
relative of mine.”
While these words were still passing from hi*
lips, he commenced a succession of blows with
u heavy cane on my bare head, by the first of
which I was stunned so as to lose sight. I nu
longer saw my assailant, nor any other person
or oblect in the room. What I did afterward*
was done almost unconsciously, acting under
instincts of self-defence, with my head alreudy
bent down; 1 rose from my seat, wrenching up
my desk,which was screwed to the floor,and then
pressing forward, while my ussailaut contined
uU blows. 1 had no other consciousness until I
found myself ten feet forward in front of my
desk, lying on the floor of the Senate, with my
bleeding head supported on the knee of a gen
tleman, whom I soon recognized by voice and
manner as Mr. Morgan, of New \ ork. Other
persons there were about me offering friomliv
assistance, but I did not recognize any oftlic-ni.
Others there were at a distance,^looking on and
offering no assistance, of whom I recognized
only Mr. Douglas, of Illinois, Mr. TooniLs. of
Georgia, and I thought also my assailant stand
ing between them.
On cross examination, Mr. Sumner said that
lie was entirely without arms of any kind, and
that he had no notice or warning of any kind,
direct or indirect, of the assault.
Tlie statement of Mr. Snmnerwas the subject
of remark in the Senate Tuesday.
Mr. Slidell called the attention of the Senate
to a telegraphic report, published this morning,
jiving a report of the evidence of Mr. Sumner
jefore the joint committee, who were investiga
ting the^assault on|him.
A long debate on tills subject ensued, attend
ed by some excitement.
Messrs. Slidell and Douglas disclaimed nuy
knowledge tliat the assault was contemplated.
Mr Toombs denied being near Brooks when
tlie assault was committed, but lie approved of
tlio act. Hud Mr. Butler been present, he would
lmve assumed nil tlie responsibility.
Mr. Wade, of Ohio, said if the principle of as
saults was to prevail, he would have to come in
to tlie Senato Chamber armed. "Although you
ure four to one, I do not fear to meet you. A
man can die in no better cause tbau the’defence
of tlie liberty of speech.”
Mr. Wilson, of Mass., said the assault was
brutal, cowardly, aud murderous.
Mr. Butler promptly aud emphatically denial
tlie charge that it was of that character.
