Tbe latter eight had It Jn their power to elect Mr. Aiken, . even if the four dissentient' Republicans had sus tained Mr. Bkks.; , i , i ::; (;.': ; i So it appears that neither the Democrats nor the Native American party is to blame for the re sult, as a whole. Individual recusants did 'the aischit-f. ' s :i THE U. STATES AND NICARAGUA, j Mr. Msbcy has written a letter to Col. Wheel eb, our Minister to Nicaragua, in which be com . plains of the outrages committed on our citizens In that State, and says this must be atoned fur. He states that the President requires tbe Minis ter to abstain from official- inteicourso with tbe persons now exercising temporary control lover aome parts of Nicaragua, with other interesting instructions. We have not room for the Letter though it is not a very long one. We will publish It on Saturday, as we consider it a very - important document, as it expresses the views of . the admin i-4 ration in regard to the obligations of an absolute neutrality, which tbe law of nations - as well as the bettor of our country impose upon as in reference to the present state of things in , Nicaragua.,, j j - v. '. -: 'l -r " tpiw titrnnrm tinicsTTnv-nimTNn' tttk rWe notice some remarks in several Roman Ca tholic publications, which induce us to think they are somewhat behind the age, and that their zeal surpasses the knowledge of certain events transpiring at the present era. Brownsad j -the Catholic, Visitor of Pittsburg; the Catholic; Tele graph of Cincinnati; the Boston Pilot, and the Rambler) all concur in the declaration that Pro testantism ought not to be tolerated in any place where tha-Roman Catholic Hierarchy can suppress it, and that it will not be allowed to exist in this country "when the Catholics have power lo prc vent it. ' ;. ' '. ;- It seems to as that the expression of this latter sentiment is entirely gratuitous. . w natever lnnu ence that or any other sect may have on the ope rations of political parties, no sane man dreams that tbe Roman Catholic Church will ever have the power to suppress Protestantism in our Amer ica. Whether it would be attempted, is a ques tion resting on the power to do. it, and, therefore, ca"nnbt be solved, as that power does not appear in the most distant perspective. . The madcaps who write as above are quite "be hind the age.". It is certainly absurd in them to talk of denying toleration to Protestants in this - free and enlightened country, when its light baa pierced 'the gloom of superstition and clerical ty ranny in the ancient seats of Empire. Tbe as pect of ;the Roman Catholic question has very much, changed within a few years. Even Spain, the most bigoted of nations, and where ; the In quisition, hateful to a large portion of tbe Cath olics, once held undisputed sway, has become tol erant iffTegard to Protestantism. Most, if not all the Catholic South American States are in the same category.. An intelligent gentleman, con nected with the Protestant Ministry, and who re cently travelled through these States, assured us that Protestantism was not only tolerated , but that tht vrsa a iunnr.1 ..lim l t... t,i..i.ni .... - . w .. ... vmv.m. ucouv w ua x ivmwtuk pieaebers among them. In addition to this, now In the United States, intelligent Roman Catholics, however wedded they may be to the dogmas of ' the Church, have in several instances rejected the dictum of the Priesthood. " It was on account of this fact that we some time , ago expressed the pinion that all necessary reforms in that Church would be brought about by its own enlightened members! It is very certain, from the experience of .the few past years," that efforts from other quarters must be unavailing. " It is not so much the abridgement of the poli tical power of that Church that is desired, but tbat it may be exercised under a proper Influence, viz: that of the patriotism of tbe membership rather than that of tbe prejudices of the Priest hoodthose of foreign birth and education, who do not and cannot properly understand republi- -can Institutions, or appreciate their value in ele vating oar race ; and which are, in faet, repug- "nant to their early training and teaching and their succeeding habits. : ' , , - : kj ; - B ut, it may be asked, why do the writers above r quoted speak in this manner. : Some of them have imbibed their notions from the most prescriptive . gownsmen, who lived and wrote in prescriptive ages. These are so intent on the enforcement of what they believe to bo the infallible law, that they remain ignorant of mankind and the present .age ;-Because thsy desire no other light than ihe darkness that is in them. They, cannot know ;. better because they will not ; having no desire to pass beyond the pale of a settled gloomy bigotry. Others, again, do not care much about the matter, , bat love notoriety, which they mistake for honest fime. -"And others, and a large portion of them, : , expect to tod do make more money by the coarse 1 they hare chosen, than Jhey would by a candid aad liberal one. The . Editor of the Pilot, a Ro - man Catholic press in Boston, says the Americana are " common liarsy detainers and vagabonds.! Does he say this because he believe ho tells - the truth . Not at all He says it because bis subscribers lore to hear him talk so and pay him ... for talking so.- Of eoursel no Americas who has the least spark of self-respect, can be affected or . seriously offended bp sch language as this. , If r ne were w earnest, he would be put down by the , lawyeis as an incompetent witness, being deci dedly w campus mentis' .

Ton will have to take out tbe stereotyped phrase '-no Speaker yet" aiHlonlt stitute in its stead the gratifying intelligence tbat the race is up and "order reigns in Washington. This rcsnlt has been gradually approaching fur two or three weeks. The Democrats (I mean the party) were successful for a long time in keeping all their flock together iu opposition to the plu rality rule, but one by one they fell off nnt I, on Saturday, a sufficient number threw off their par ty shackles and uniting with tbe Black Republi cans carried the plurality resolution, thereby vir tually electl g Banks to the Speaker's Chair. The National Americans, all, voted and fought against it to the last. But tbey triumphed at last. I mean the N. A-'s or K. N.'a. The j com pelled the Democrats to leave the caucus nomi nee Mr. Orr, and to support Mr. Aikin, who re fused to stand : npon the Democratic resolution platform, and who allowed members to vote for him under Ihe impression (probably a con eel one) that bo was hostile .to the Administration. And yet with all this forswearing themselves tbey fail ed to elect Mr. Aikin. Tbe responsibility of elect ing a Black Republican to the exalted position of Speaker is devolved npon the Administration party and is proved conclusively in two ways. When the National Americans left Mr. Fuller and went for "Extra Billy" Smith, they could have elected him wiib tbe aid of the Ailmioistratiuuints. Tkey refused to leave their caucus nominee, and "swore mighty oaths" that they would oever leave him, or vote for a man who did not plant himself on the caucus platform, both of which tbey did, which proves that tbey were not actuated by principle but temagogueism. - Again, tbe plurality rnle con Id oever bare been carried without the aid of Democrats or K. N'a The Democrats were warned by their own leaders and by the K. N.'s that this rule would elect Banks. Headed by Clingmao they persisted in it, the plurality rule was adopted and Banks placed in the Chair, virtually by Democratic votes, with Clingman our immaculate. Southern-Rights', fire-eating Clingman at the head. How they can possibly sbiik tbe responsibility yous correvpon dect cannot see. The Americans in tbe House have attempted every plan, every conceivable plan, by which they could fuse with the Demo crats and elect a conservative man, bnt the Dem ocrats have in every instance fought tbem off and refused to allow tbem to vote for their man, un less they would swallow Democracy. Pierce c Co. This, lo hicn who were to carry out ess?1- ly opposite sentiments proved loo big a dose, and tbe fusion could not take place. This result, the election of Banks is greatly overrated by a great many. , It is true, his election may have the ten dency to give a false fleeting strength to the Black Republicans, but they will do now as they have always done, hang themselves with this little rope given to them. Tbe people all over tbe country are glad that there is an organization in tbe House, and they mill soon know, when party ex citement dies oat, that Mr Ba tks, tersonally, U not a great bear or a devouring angel, but a very able and dignified presiding officer, who will be prompt and impartial in the discbarge of bis offi cial duties. At any rate so thinks X. O. X. HOMICIDE IN PRISON. A man named David McLane, was found dead in the Tombs, N. T on Snnday afternoon, in a cell, wbeie there were seven other drutiken men. Michael Collins, it was proven, had been fighting with the deceased during their confinement, and be was held to await the action of the grand jury. I LAW AGAINST LADY SEDUCERS. There is a seduction bill before the Kentucky Legislature, to which an amendment has been presented, which, if adopted, will create some stir among the ladies. It provides that any fe male found guilty of attempt ingjto seduce a young man by wearing low neck dresses, and other cap tivating articles of attire, shall be punished with the same penalty affixed to cases of seduction. Tbe gay deceivers will be obliged to correct their habits, shonld this smendment be adopted. f ' v SNORING. Old Hicks was an awful snorer. He could be beard farther than a blackmitb's forge; but bia wife bees mf so accustomed to it, tbat it soothed ber repose. , They were a very domestic couple. never slept apart for many years. At length the old man was required to attend court some dis tance. The first night after his departure, bl wife never slept a wink; she missed the snoring. Tbe second night passed away in the same man ner w ithout sleep. - She was getting in a very bad wsy, and probably would have died, had it not been for tbe ingenuity of the servant girl. She took tbe coffee mill into the mistress's chamber, and ground her to leep at onee. J ; FIRE IN RICHMOND. Quite a destructive fire occurred about 2 o'clock on Saturday morning last, at tbe lower extremity of the city. The new Glass Workt, recently es tablished, were completely destroyed, together with some small buildings adjacent. Tbe Glass Works were earned by Dr. Gavinzei, a German resident of the city, and were operating with eve ry prospect of success. The fire, it is stated, was accidental. ;r -..'.A .-' :- : I CATS IN DEMAND AT HIGH PRICES, f The city of Kara, in Asiatic Turkey, was actu ally starved into submission to the Russians.

As an instance of the severity, of the present winter, tbe Boston Traveller states that a gentle man living in tbe vicinity of Boston, lately found the dead bodies of half a dozen crows upon the snow in tbe vieinity of bia bouse-. .-.i ICEBOUND. The St. Louis papers, complain of that harbor being still ice bound. It has now been closed for an eutire month, and the Ice is as firm a ever, with, very little prospect of being open for anoth er month to come."' Easiness, of coarse, is ser iously affected. . MORE KIDNAPPING. . V- CiABLESToy, Feb. 4.-r-On Saturday last, a sea man on board tbe ship Hero, was dragged by one of tbe Elliott street runners, and placed on board the ship Montreal, which pat to sea the same day. When the ship was near Pnmpkin Hill, a man was seen to jump overboard by tbe Captain of the steamer Aid, which was towing out tbe Montreal; a boat was immediately lowered, 2nd John F Flinn, mate of the Aid, proceeded to his rescue, and succeeded in saving him as he was in tbe act of sinking the last time. - He was brought in an insensible condition aboard the steamer, when the proper restoratives were applied and animation waa restored,;-; ''.-;-.:''"' ;; He told the Captain of the Aid tbat his' name was John Holland, and that he bad been drugged and placed aboatd of tbat vessel. On coming to bis senses he told the Captain of the Montreal tbe circumstances of the case, and requested to be put aboard of the Aid, which the Captain refused to do. Holland then told the Captain that he was an American seaman, and would rather be drown ed than sail under English colors; and immediate ly jumped overboard. Seeing tbat be had been rescued by Captain Paine of the Aid, the Captain of the Montreal threw him a conplw of handcuffs, and requested Captain Paine to secure bira in irons and send him back, which the Captain very properly refused to do. Mercury, - . ARREST OF SWINDLERS. Officers Schonboe and Levy arrested, on Friday morning, four individuals, calling themselves Henry Crawford, John Williams, alias White, T. Kenny, and John Anderson, who were recogniz ed by the officers as part of a gang of swindlers who had visited this locality on a previous occa sion. No special charge of a late date being made out against tbem, and taking tbe maxim as a true one, tbat an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of care," they were escorted to the rail road and shipped tn the next train for tbe inter ior. They manifested some disappointment at thus being famished with a travelling card so early, as they had come, no doubt, to attend the races. lb. COLLISION AT SEA. On the night of the 15th October the American sbipA. Cbesebrougb, Capt. Worth, of New York, bound from Hong Kong to California, with an as sorted cargo, was run down and sunk in the Chi na seas by the English clipper ship Invincible. Capt. Worth and crew saved themselves by get ting on board the Invincible, which was running at the time of the collision eleven knots before the wind, striking the Cbesebrougb midships, causing her to sink in a few hours. The Invinci ble had her stem and cutwater torn away below the waterlinc, and caused her to leak very much. She was from Shanghai, with a valuable cargo of silk and teas, valued at nine hundred thousand dollars. Shortly after they fell in with the Amer ican clipper ship Lookout, from California, bound to Hong Kong, who picked up the abandoned crew of the Invincible, leaving on board tbe Cap tain and Captain Worth and his crew. Seven men from the Lookout volunteered, in place of those who had left the Invincible, to asniat in ta king her into the nearest port to prevent the Cap tain from abandoning the ship, which bo would have done had not the Captain of trie Lookout remained by her until she reached Hong Kong, nearlv f nil of water, where she was run ashore and sank in three fathoms of water, damaging all ber cargo, excepting between decks. The most valuable part of the silks are saved in a dry state. A SEDUCER FORCED TO MARRY HIS VICTIM. The St. Louis (Mo..) Herald says that a week or two ago, a wealthy young Tennessee planter took passage for that city, at Paducah, Ky., on board tbe steamer Helen Mar, and on her passage succeeded in gaining the affections, and Dually accomplishing tbe rniu of a young and pretty girl on board. By mmc means, tbe matter was sus ectcd by tbe boatmen who, through some of t bo lady passengers, obtained a verification of their suspicions. They waited on the planter and told him tu prepare to get marri-d or be put ashore on a ssnd bar to freeze to - death ; then made the boat fast at Chester, III., sent for a ju tice, whom th-y pulled out of bU bed. and in a few minutes tbe pair were married, and the sum of 4 50 exacted from the bride-groom to treat all hand. When last beard from, the newly married couple were at Barnum's Hotel, St. Louis Mo. j WARTS AND CREOSOTE. Dr. Rainley,of St. Thomas Hospital-, London, has w-itten an article to the Lancet, detailing the effects of creosote applied to warts. He applied it freely to an obstinate warty excresence on the finger, then covered it over with a piece of sick ing plaster. This course he pursued every three days for two weeks, when tbe wart was found to have disappeared, leaving tbe part beneath it quite healthy. LAUDANUM. ' According to all accounts the use of laudanum has now become very prevalent among the female' sex of our population. A lady, writing to one of tbe New York Journals, states tbat she has re cently discovered that fire of her female acquain tances, belonging to the more wealthy classes in tbat city, are habitual partakers of it, and that, as a natural consequence, it is fast destroying their mental and physical power.
