MR. BROOKS TRIED AND FINED
$300.
The trial of the Hon. P. S. Brooks for
his assault on Senator Sumner, came up be
fore the court in Washington City, on the
8th instant. Sumuer left the city to evade
the service of subpoena to appear as a wit
ness in the case. After the examination of
witnesses, Mr. Brooks made a speech, in
which he said that there were cases of out
ruge in which the laws were inadequate to
afford a proper remedy, and in which a man
must by his own resolution and act, vindi
cate his honor and the honor of those it was
his duty to defend.
He avowed that while he had a heart to
feel and a hand to strike, he would defend
South Carolina from the efforts to stain her
with obliquy and dishonor. He now bowed
to the majesty of the law and awaited the
sentence of the Court.
Judge Crawford refrained from any com
ments, and sentenced Mr. Brooks to pay a
jue of $300.
o
'jF The New York papers of Wednes
day contain Fremont's second letter of
acceptance. He says a practical remedy
to terminate sectional controversy " is the
admision of Kansas as a free State," and
" correcting the mistake of the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise." He further
says : " Free labor cannot be driven from
Kansas without provoking a desperate strug
gle ; and a monopoly of the soil, and slave
labor to till it, might in time reduce emi
grants to labor on the same terms as
slaves."
THE KANSAS BILL IN THE SENATE.
The bill which had passed the House of
Representatives for the admission of Kan
sas, with the Topeka free State Constitu
tion, was on Tuesday promptly acted upon
by the Senate in such a manner as practi
cally defeats it. The committee on terri
tories reported, through Mr. Douglas, the
bill which had previously passed the Sen-
ate, as a substitute for the House bill, and !
it was, after various ineffectual efforts to
amend it, passed by yeas 32, nays 13. The
main features of the two bills will be found
in to-days paper.
NORTHERN KANSAS AID CONVEN
TION. A Kansas Aid Convention met at Buffalo,
New York, on the 8th instant. Gov. Reed-
er pre siding. The object of the Conven
tion was stated to be to secure unity and
efficient action on behalf of Kansas. Ger
ret Smith, chairman of the Committee on
Resolutions, reported resolutions recom
mending sending armed forces into Kansas.
Gov. Reeder thought Mr. Smith's resolu
tions too ultra. He said that the time had
not yet arrived for such action. If the
power of th government had been delegat
ed to him (Reeder) there would before now
have been heaps of dead men on the fields
of Missouri. lie did not wish to give the
South notice of their intention of marching
armed men into the territory. He wanted
the enemy to have the first notice of the
blow given by the blow itself. The free
stato party were too slow for him.
Mr. Smith said if this reasoning were
correct, the convention should sit with clos
ed doors. The South could not help know
ing that something was going to he done.
A resolution was passed for raising $100,-
000 per month.
The convention then adjourned until the
following day.
ry Freemont is just about strong enough
to so divide the freesoil vote with Buchanan
as to give Fillmore a plurality in most of
the Northern States. Fayetteville Argus.
Just the reverse, Mr. Argus. Fremont
and Fillmore, both against the Kansas Ne
braska bill both in favor of the Erie-letter
principles both opposed to the Adtninis-
tion and the Democratic party in short,
both entertaining the same free-soil princi
ples, will about equally divide the free-soil
vote of the North while Mr. Buchanan
will receive the entire and united vote of
the Democratic party, a vote always near
ly equal to the free-soil vote of the
North and thus Mr. B. will, we believe,
receive the vote of every Northern State,
including, we fear, Massachusetts and Ver
mont. We point the Argus to the late
Bluck Republican Convention in Massa
chusetts, which quarrelled over the respec
tive claims-of Fremont and Fillmore, and
finally split and held separate Conventions.
as an evidence ot the correctness ot our
calculation. Mr. Buchanan, in all proba
bility, will receive the vote of every State
in the Union.
The President Hissed at Boston.
The usual corporation dinner in Boston on
the 4th of July, took place in Faneuil Hall,
and among the regular toasts was the ste
reotyped one: " The President of the Uni
ted States." This, however, it appears
was too much for some of the fanatical spir
its present, and they commenced hissing.
Perkins Cleveland, Esq. was called to
respond to the toast, and administered to
the hissing party a proper and well merited
rebuke for thus prostituting a day and an
occasion such as the Fourth of July to the
spirit of political sectionalism, which had
no right to be there.
The hissing was renewed several times
while Mr. Cleveland was speaking, and up
on his expressing the opinion that the dis
turbances upon the Western frontier were a
source of as heartfelt regret to the President
of the United States as to any of those pre
sent, the disturbers became apparently
frantic, and hissed and howled like madmen.
Nothing else could be expected of Sum
ner's and Wilson's State.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?
We see it stated in the know-nothing pa
pers that there was a meeting of the "Amer
ican National Camp of the United States" at
Philadelphia on the 5th instant that twenty-three
States were represented, and that
Fillmore and Donelson were endorsed.
Will the know-nothing papers explain
what this means ? Have the know-nothing's
changed their tactics again? Do they still
keep up their sgcrecy under the name of a
"National Camp ?" How is it? Are these
"Camp" people abolitionists, or do the re
gard the repeal of the Missouri line as only
an "atrocious" act? Raleigh Standard.
Well may the Standard ask these ques
tions, in view of the fact that know-nothing-ism
has been attempting to make the peo
ple believe that it had discarded secresy
from their midnight proceedings. No one
(outside of the "Order") ever heard of this
National Convention until it assembled
and we are left in the dark as to who were
its members, where they came from, and what
were the political stripes of the conclave.
Secrecy and the binding obligations of hor
rid oaths constitute the strength of know
nothingism, and they will never be abolished,
if the Order can prevent it. The force of
public opinion has induced them to profess
desertion of the secret feature, but there is
abundant evidence to prove that it is only
an attempt to deceive and humbug the peo
ple. But, the 4th of November next will
put an extinguisher upon their daik-lan-terns.
"IT ALONE."
"It alone (the know-nothing party) in my
opinion, of all the political agencies now
existing, is possessed of the power to silence
this alarming and disastrous (slavery) agi
tation, and to restore harmony by its own
example of moderation and forbearance. It
has a claim, therefore, in my judgment,
upon every earnest friend of the iutegrity
of the Union." Millard Filliiore.
"It Alone!" Who can help laughing?
The know-nothing party "o all others,"
the best, on account of its "moderation1' (!)
and "forbearance" (!) to restore "harmo
ny by settling the slavery agitation ! ! "Is it
not funny? Their "moderate" and "for
bearing" course in Congress, in all their Con
ventions, and Lodges show it. Mr. Fill
more's "forbearance," we have no doubt,
would let the Abolitionists have all they
ask a repeal of the fugitive slave bill.
about the signing of which he had "Consti-
tutional difficulties" ('.'.) and "long cherish
ed (abolition) prejudices to overcome" let
them repeal the Kansas-Nebraska bill and
"forbear" to exercise the veto power against
any law that a know-nothing free-soil Con
gress might pass. This is the kind of "for
bearance" we should expect from Millard
Fillmore. Give the abolitionists all they
ask to quiet agitation. He is opposed to
adding another foot of slave territory to
this Union see his Erie letter and his votes
in Congress and never would the South
receive protection from his vetoes. The
South has been forbearing until "forbear
ance" has "ceased to be a virtue." The
more the concession the greater the exac
tion and the impudence of Abolitionism.
With already more than half the loaf, they
now clamor for the whole, and we have no
doubt Mr. Fillmore is willing they shall
have it. But, the 4th of November next
and "It Alone" will go farther in settling
slavery "agitation" than "all other political
agencies now existing."
MR. FREMONT'S PARENTAGE.
The Richmond (Va.) Dispatch, noticing
some of the current histories of Mr. Fre
mont's early life, appends the following:
"We have no disposition in the general to
meddle with the private history of people;
but when that private history relates to men
presented for the highest office in the gift
of the nation, and is brought to light by
the press, it is nothing more than proper
that it should bo in the main correct. It
is due to truth and history. It would be
indeed strange if so young a man as Col.
Fremont were elected President, that the
simple record of his parentage and birth
had either been lost entirely to history, or
so inaccurately recorded as to present
hardly a single fact correctly.
To the good or bad fortune, as it may be
of this city, it is connected with the history
of Col. Fremont's parentage. About the
first of the present century there resided in
this city a revolutionary veteran, who had
served faithfully in the war of the Revolu
tion. This veteran was Colonel John Pry
or. He lived on the ground which -lies be
tween the canal and the river, west of the
Petersburg Railroad Depot, and east of the
Armory. He had there surrounding his
house a garden, where people wer admitted
for a small fee, aud where refreshments
could be procured. This was called "Pry
or's Garden." The old Col. was a victim
of rheumatism, and locomotion to him was
difficult. He moved with a shuffling step,
and took a long time to go a very little way
indeed he was a disabled stiff limbed old
soldier, and his physical forces had from
exposure and hardship suffered no little
abatement.
The veteran Col. Pryor took it into his
head that he needed a wife, and that he
would be much better off with one than to
remain a rheumatic old bachelor, with no
one to love, or rather no one to mend his
linen and sew on his buttons. So ho sought
the hand in marriage of a young girl who
she was, it is not material to know. Suffice
it to say. she yielded to the suit of the vet
eran soldier, and became Mrs. Pryor mis
tress of the garden, and mistress of a long
framed building. Its main feature was a
somewhat spacious apartment in the centre.
On either hand were long wings, of smaller
dimensions, except their length, than the
centre. At tha extremities of these two
wings stood two offices, apparently to pro-
mote the harmony of the general design.
We are the more particular in describing
the building, because, as will be seen, a
lodgment was made in one of these offices
by an enemy of the Colonel's domestic hap
piness. At this time, mere lived in Rich
mond a French teacher named Fremont,
who taught in the academy of the celebrat
ed French scholar and gentleman, Girardiu.
M. Fremont is described as having been a
small, swarthy individual, with some French
peculiarities, strongly developed. Colonel
Pryor employed Monsieur Fremont to teach
his young wife French. He rented of the
Colonel one of the little offices above des
cribed, and took his meals, as a boarder, at
the Colonel's table. What progress the
lady made in studying French is not known; T ln sn, on the 'JJ31- b-v tnu Kcv:

feelings inconsistent with her relation to
Col. Pryor. How long this state of things
existed, we are not informed ; but the re
sult was, that Mrs. Pryor and M. Fremont
fled from the city to Norfolk, aud there, for
a time, lived together he, it is understood,
pursuing the vocation of upholsterer, which
was supposed to have been his original
trade. They did not, however, reside long
in Norfolk, but went to the South where
the candidate for the Presidency was born
possibly to Savannah, though some re
ports say Charleston.
We cannot say whether the parties were
ever married. Certain it is that old Col.
Pryor was never divorced from his wife,
who thus left him more forlorn than he was
when she married him. The question arises,
could there have been a legitimate marriage
without a divorce?
It is proper to add that Co!. Pryor, after
sometime brooding over the bad treatment
he suffered in the desertion of his wife, as
suaged his grief by marrying another young
woman, who remained with him until his
dath he dying, it is hardly necessary to
add, without issue. The abduction of his
first wife by the Frenchman, who showed
not the slightest regard for his prior claims,
was a sore subject to the old Colonel. These
incidents in the life of the projenitor of the
free-soil candidate for the Presidency,
show that he was at least a disciple of Free
Soilism. COL. FREMONT'S FINANCIAL
CREDIT.
Col. Fremont's rumored possessions of
fabulous wealth are not credited in Wall
street, if the annexed statement of the Journ
al of Commerce may be believed :
"The failure of the State of California to
provide for the payment of the interest due
on her bonds, July 1st, has excited much
attention. We refrained from making any
remarks upon it yesterday, because there
was a plan on foot to raise the money hero,
and for obvious reasons, we did not wish to
interfere, although doubtful of its success.
The plan was foi Col. Fremont, who has
business connections more or less intimate
with Palmer, Cook & Co. to raise the mon
ey upon bis personal security. His notes,
or memoranda of them, were accordingly
offered all through the market by note bro
kers, but without finding any buyers. How
ever attractive the name might be in capi
tals at the head of a campaign paper, it had
no market value at the foot of an I. O. U.,
and the plan has been reluctantly abandon
ed. The State of California is therefore a
defaulter."
The New York "Day Book" broadly in
timates that there are some dark transac
tions between Fremont and Messrs. Palmer
& Co., in this transaction, which, when re
vealed, will reflect no credit upon Fremont
and his "business agents."

son Shanuon announces that he has resign
