Many years ajo when a boy of seven or eight year?, there was one thing which 1 lonued for more than anything1 else, and which I imagined would make tnc supreme ly happy. It was a jack-knife. Then I would not be obliged to borrow father's ev ery time 1 wished to cut a string or a stick but could whittle whenever I choae, and us much as I pleased. Dreams of kites bows and arrows, boats, iLc., all manufac tured with the aid of that shining blade; haunted me by day and night. It was a beautiful morning of June, that my lather called me, and gave me leqrve, tf I wished tw go with him to the store. I was delighted, ami taking his band, we started. The bird sane; sweetly on every )Ua!i and evervtliiu looked io trav and gay neautilul. mat my heart lairly leaped lor joy. After our arrival at tlve village, and while my father was occupied in purchas ing some articles iu a remote pan of the stoic, my attention u a$ asking the price of various jack-knivt-d laying on the counter. As this was a very interesting subject to me. 1 approaching,- intruding only to look at them. 1 picked one up, opened it, ex amined it, tried the springs, felt the blades with my thumb, and thought 1 could never cease admiring their polished surface. Oh! il it were evilly mine, thought 1, how happy 1 should be! Just at this moment, happen ing to look up, 1 saw that the merchant had gone to change a bill for his customer, and no one was observing me. For fear that I might be tempted to do wrong, I .started to replace the knife on the counter, but an evil spirit whispered, "Put it in your pocket, ijuiokT Without plopping to think ol the crime or its consequence, 1 hurriedly slipped it into my pocket and as I did so, felt a blush of shame burning on my checks; but the store vas rather dark, ami no one noticed it, nor did the merchant miss the knife.' t We soon started l'or home, my father gi viiii: me ia parcel to carry. As we walk cd aloiv, my thoughts continually rested on the knife, and 1 kept my hand in my pocket all the lime, from a sort of guilty le:ir tint it would be seen. This, together i : '.v.- .

THRILLING SCENE. Mir. Thomas Kingston, says the Cincin nati Enquirer, who . for several years lias followed the business of putting u p light ning rotUi, which, of course, requires stes dy nerves and a firm brain, met with ao ac cident recently, by which, but for Ihe most singular presence of mind, or rather supernatural instinct, he would have fatleui from a diezy height, and been dashed to pieces, lie is compelled to cjiuib nkfs, over chimneys, and tip spires, and fu a rod with perfect coolness and precision, hiuu dreds of f eet above the level of the eartfi. On the occasion to which We refer, Mr. K. had ascended St. PaaPs Cathecfral, whose ppire about 235 teehigh, near the head of liroadway, andgone to the very top,!where, having lej liis ladder bejow, he clung by his arms and legs, fastened the last foot of live rod and attached its point qjaite a heavy piece of metal-t-6e-curely, as he supposed, to the cross sur mounting the Steeple. He had just uom pleted this difficult and dangerous task, watched bya number of persons in the street below, aud while looking at the work and experiencing that satisfaction which re sults from hazard passed and labor accom plished, of a sudden something heavy struck him and made his brain reel until be could hardly see. Instead of losing his hold at once, as would seem to have been the nat ural and inevitable result, he clunrr wkh a . the steeple was tumblmz, or that some ! strange cause was about to bring the vast structure to the ground. Some forty seconds an aie to hiin- must have elapsed before he sufficiently ! collected his scattered thoughts and sub verted consciousness to know that the en tire upper part of the rod had falleu upon his head, causing the blood to trickle over his forehead, and nearly blind him. He was iu a dreadful perplexity and most danger ous position. He feared, if he moved, he would go cleaving the air to a terrible death upon the stony street below and at the same time he knew he could not, in the dis orded state of his nerves, and his increas ing weakness, retain his grasp, more the result of fate than of feeling, much longer. If he stirred be might tall j if he remained he certainly would, and so, determined to make at least an effort for his life, he put one foot very cautiously, then his arms and then his other foot ; and after a half minute of exertion, aud the greatest danger, he touched the topmost round cf the ladder, and in a few seconds more was inside of the steeple and safe. Then it was Mr. K's great courage and strength forsook him ; his nerves and tnus cle relaxed ; he grew sick unto death ; his knees gave way ; his vision swam, and be sank upon the platform motionless and in sensible. He must have lain there half an hour belore he could rise and walk, and he did not recover from the shock for more than a fortnight atterwards The people gazing up at him from the ' .i .u- - ..;.,.a kllu 8LU, fd.

Report of the Kansas Investigating Com, mutee. Va8hixgi:ox, .Match '10. The viers of the majority of the Kansas Committee which Mr. Stephens is about to publish on his own responsibility, not having obtain odeouseut to piesent it iu the House, set Iriut by laying that the subject matter W wmc;i atieniton suotild be directed was " First The law for taking the census of the people. Second The law calling th convention. Third The registery of the voters the and iippotntment under it. Fourth The assembling ol the convention and its journal. Fifth -Tbe constitution o made. Sixth The official voe on the ratification of the subject committed. Sev enth The committee filed, not deeming it material, the act of December last, provjd ing for a vole for cr against the slavery clause on th 4th of January. Eighth The r,flicialfliouncement of that vote, and Ninth The written statement of Gen, Calhoun in relation to the registery of votes, etc., but which sheds n light on the subject. The report says thai these facts show great regularity, and Strict conformity to law, ad that no Siate heretofore applying for admission has shown a clearer recop-d. No objection to the admission of Kansas arises on the usual inquiries lirst, as to the application; secondly, as to the regular ity of the proceedings; and thirdly, whether .i . . . . ' l,,dl' mu uy ci every ctate constitution depends on its having received the saBC tion of popular vote. This assumption is denied, as not being sustained by principle or authority "Sovereignty," Governor Walker says. "is jin-alienable, and rests exclusively with the people " This is granted, but the re port says it does not follow that sovereign power cannot be delegated. The forma tion of a constitution requires the exercise of sovereign power: but so does the com monest act of legislation. If the one can be delegated, so can the other. All the constitutions of the old States were made by the convention: without ratification ex cept that of .'Massachusetts. The constitution of the. United States was ratified by State conventions, aud not by the popular vote. The amendments to it are to be concurred in by State Legisla tures, and not by the popular vote, to give them validity. If Gov. Walker's doctrine be correct we should be without State con stitutions or law in half of the States in the Union. The object ion that an enabling act is necessary is also answered, and shown to be untenable, both iu principle and au thority. ! The question relative to the registry and appointment is very fully treated. The charge that nineteen counties were dis franchised is completely answered. There are but thirty-four organized couniies ii Kansas. Twenty-one-of these were rep resented. .Nine of the thirteen unrepre sented counties have very little population. In seven of them not a vote was cast at the Janu.iry election agniusr. die constituting. ln two others of tlve nine less than one hundred votes were ilirown; and in the four remaining, namey: Frankin, Ander son, Coffee and Brecke.nridge, there Wete but eleven out of thirty-five. I:i these four counties the 'officers were prevented from making a registry. Tin; report also shows, from the regijtry and appointment, together with the oflicul returns, thai at the fourth of January ejec tion, ihe five counties of Leavenworth, Atchison, Douglas, Doniphan and Jeffer son, cast five thousand one hundred and eighteen votes, which is a majority of the whole vote cast throughout the territory a- ainsi ihe consihuiioi). Ai3 yc all these counties were registered and represented in trie convention, having thirty-six o Uc sixty delegates of winch the coaventiun was composed. If it be true that the opponents of the eonsttiutiou were so largely in the majori ty iii ihose counties, and so violent in ihcir opposition, why did they not elect men to form a constitution, more to their bkitig'? Thev hud within four votes of twothirds ; wielu r t!ie L, 00mpton Constitution is ar ceptable and satisiactory lo tne people. The reply to this is, th-it tht only correcit test is the ballot box, and such an expres sion of the popular will as is there given at the proper time and place, according to law. Hy this lest the constitution was adopted by an overwhelming majority of those who joined iu the election. These only cam be considered as thu bonti fide citizens of Kan- . I 1 . sas. umers wno onsiamcu are mum juit residents, who went to Kansas for mischief and strife. They arc self-acknowlegded outlaws, are not lo be considered as consti tuent elements of community or society, against which they are in open rebellion. Hut on the 4th of January, at the cilee tion of State officers under the constitution more than 12,000 voters in Kansas did go to the polls, and thus showed conclusively drr their command in the territory ol any that at least four-fifths of the voters of that foreign State at the instance ot or for th territory were willing to vote for the elec- benefit of such State unless previously au tion of State officers under the constitution, thorized by Congress. This shows that the constitution was Lot ; Xttohed, That inasmuch as the views of only acceptable, but that it has been accept- the President, as made known in his mes- 1 ed by at least four-fifths of the voters of the territory, though not entirely satisiactvry to all of them. The committee" declined to go iuto an hnvesthration of the altered frauds at the January election for State officers for want of jurisdiction of the House over the sub- ject. They say they can no more investi- gate frauds relating to the election for Static officers io Kansas than in any' other State. These matters are to be inquired in to by other appropriate legitimate irib&mfei It the seat of the member of Congress lected to i this House be cooteited on the ' ground of alleged frauds, I he House would have jurisdiction over that question bat ! not as to frauds in the election of Goternof or members of the Legislature of Kansas, j Toe report concludes with the recom meedatioo for the admission of the State of Kansas, in pursuance of the riewi of the President, believing the welfare and pros perity of the people of Kansas, as well it the general welfare, peace and harmony jaf j the whole Union, will thereby be promoted iThe Seizure of the riUibuaten. The following is the report of Mr. Cuxs max, from the Commute on Foreign Af fair of the House of Representatives, in reference to the captare of Gen. Walker and the conduct ol Commodore Pavldino1 on that occasion: The Committee iof Foreign Affaln, (o whpni was referred1 the message of the Pres ident of the United States and aecompa ning documents relating to the seizure of William Walker and his followers iu Nie aruigua, having had the same under eottr sideration, espectfully report: That by the action of the flonse ther have been relieved from, the necessity of expressing their views on several quea lions which seem to be connected with ther' transactions detailed in these papers 'Hie whole subject of the neutrality laws, considered with reference to their constitutionality, expediency, and proper interpretationjhasjbeenreft rrtd to the Com mittee on the Judiciary. The question as to how far Commodore Pau'diiif obeyed the orders of his superiors-, upon which his merit or demeritas an offi cer mainly depends, has been referred te th Committee on Naval Affatrsv The inquiry as to whether private rights' hate bven interfered with in these procee dings would seem more properly to come up whenever any persons aggrieted shall, by petition or application in some other mode, seek redress. There remain?, howerer, for the consid ationoftiic committee, two important quel' tions which directly concern the foreign affairs of the country. The first is wheth er there has been an invasion of the Ttr ritory of Nicaragua, a foreign State with which we are on terms of peace and friendship; and, secondly, whether that ' act of invasion, either with or against her consent,, was of such a character as that it. could be properly done Without the author' iiy of Congress. Under the laws of nations no right il believed to exist by which the United States or any of its officers are authorized' , to enter the territory of a friendly foreign Power a'nd forcibly seize and carry away persons who may be there. And as bo such right ha$ been conceded by treaty with Nic aragua, the act of Commodore Paulding in forcibly entering her territory and seizing William Walker and bis followers is- one which ii is the duty of this Government to disavow, and to make satisfaction for. provid e d eompluiat should ever he made. In fcft Wwevcr, your committee Ivave every re&aon to belie re that this proceeding was entirely 'n accordance with the wishes of tbo cxi's- in ling UovcTTUucnt oi Nicaragua, and regat" ded by it as eminently beneficial. Should this be conceded, the recond question presents itself: Can an officer o! the Cnited States use force under his com mand in the territory of a . foreign State with its assent and for its benefit. The war-making power belongs to Con grcsa. and the right to enter into alliance, offensive and defensive, belongs to the Pres ident and Senate as the treaty-making, power. In lhe absence of authority de rived Vrora owe of these sources, your com- nii.tee are of opinion that oui officers can not use vAve forces under their cowvmind for any such purpose. An these forces are ob viously intended for the service of the Uni ted States, they cannot be rightfully cm-.' ployed in any foreign Slate for its benefit or as Us ally. It is, in tlie Judgment .of your committee, wholly immaterial wheth er such forces are to be employed to expel from the State invaderes from abroad, to' put down rebellion or insurrection there, or to aid the police of such State in sop pressing disturbances and popular outbreak. To acknowledge any such right would bet in effect to transfer the war-making power to such officers as might happeu to have the command of any part of our naval or military forces in the vicinity of any' foreign State that might be in want of lid. Your committee are happy to find thai the President concurs fully in these views. They therefore recommend the adoption of the following resolutions: Jteso?verf, That inasmuch as the United States can never consent that any foreign' Powjer sliall have the right to enter its ter ritory with a view of forcibly carrying off any person who may be therein, so it be conncs the duty of the (iovernment to dis own and disclaim all righfon its part tb e niter, for a similar purpose,; the territory of any foreign Power or Suite with which w e arc on terms of amity an friendship. Iff soke?, That officers f the United 1 Slates have no right to use 'the forces un ! sago to the two nouses oi congress, are I , iu.mC p...., uu js necesary on the part of Congress. ' .' ... . m .
