BR ^ I * > ^>4 CAROLINA SPARTAN. [From (he Wa?Mi?#U?ii Uuion.] lumen BCTiers wifccH o* sissas. We Infcl before oar readers lately the eloquent speecli made hi the Semite some days ago by Judge Hutler,ou the questions con Deo ted wini Kansas affairs. '1 here are two or three points in this speech which inade a powerful impression in the Senate chamber when it was delivered, and tliey have been admired by the whole country for tho lofty patriotism of their sentiments as well as the thrilling eloquence of their laugunge. We ttfcr f nrlicularly to his earnest and impassioned vindication of the character of General Atchison, nnd his equally earnest and impressire rebuke of the assault made by Mr. Hale upon tho Supremo Court. In the course of the speech of Mr. llarlau, on Thursday last, he alluded to tho remark of Mr. Butler mnde in the speech referred to, in which ho said that ho would rather that the Union should be dissolved in preference to being in n Union without the protection of a constitution which gives hiiu equality. Mr. llarlan construed this remark to mean that Mr. Butler preferred a dissolution oi the Union rather than that the people o( the Territory^should have the powor to exclude slavery from it. Mr. Butler was absent when the allusion was made; but after Mr. Harlan had concluded, the following remarks were made: "Mr. Butler.?Sir, I say now calmly, that when a northern majority shall acquire such a control over the legislation of this country as to disfranchise the slaveltohling States in any respect in which they have att equality under tho Constitution of the country, I will not agree to live under this Government when the Union can survive the Constitution. That is my sentiment. I am not a slave to submit myself to legislation controlled by mere discretion. Mr, Piesident, if George Washington ami Benjamin Franklin, and the wisest men who ever lived, wero to come hero and attempt to legislate under the dictates of mere discretion, and should do me an injustice, I i t l.- _ i _ i ?.1 viuiku uu ii v:ra> cu 111111 ?i vntivur iu uit principles of Magna Charta?to everything which I have learned from the highest sources of history?if I could submit to any measure that would [dace my children the ninety-nine hundredth pait of an inch beneath the cbildreu of the Senator from Iowa. "Mr. Bell, of Tennessee.?I do not wish to interfere in this matter, but 1 will 6tnt< what I understood the Senator from Iowr to say. "Mr. Butler.? I did not hear his re mark; I was not here when ho mado it. "Mr. Bell, of Tennessee.?The Senatoi from Iowa took the distinct ground, that tin interpretation of the views of the gentlemar from South Carolina was, that the 'equali ty* of which ho spoke consisted in the citi zens of tho Southern States having tin right, during the whole period of tcrritorin governments the Territories, to go then with their slaves before a constitution was formed. I understood the Scu;i,.'.M from Iowa to say that the Senator from South Carolina hnd denied that tho poo pie of the Territory of Kansas, under thcii organic law, could exclude slavery, if the} should think proper, at the coiumenccmeni of their territorial government, but mil.admit slavery until the Territory shall b< admitted into the Uuion with a State con stitution. That is what I understood hin: to >ay. "Mr. Butler.?This is rather an ambula tory kind of issue. I cannot find out whu is the meaning of tho Senator. "Mr. Harlan.? I will state to the hon LI. O a . i* . . I /"S I I .1 oraoie ?enator irom oouiu VvHioiimh wnai J said. Tlio honorable Senator from Tonnes see has fairly presculcd the argument; bit my view was based on the statement of tin honorable Senator from South Carolina and tlio honornblo Senator from Georgia [Mr. Toombs.] It was argumentative merely. I quoted, as nearly as I could ro member, the substance of tho remarks o the Senator from South Carolina; and thei , I interpreted the meaning of his phraseolo gy by quoting from tho speech of tin Senator from Georgia. "Mr. Hale.?That is it, exactly. ?- "Mr. Butler.? Well, sir; 1 want no co partnership with anybody in making speeches. If the Senator from Iowa wen on the tripod to morrow at the Delphi* oracle, I would not take his interpretalioi -of my speech. Ho might place a l'ythi: there, and instruct her, and l'bilipisa her if lie chose, but 1 would not take hi* inter pretntion. Why, sir, I avoided that ven question in regard to tlio powers of tin territorial government, lie cannot find ; word in my speech upon that question The potential faculty of a territorial government is one over which I should cxei cise a very "delicate control. I n vci contended that I desired a law to Carrj slavery into any Territory, and I neve wanted a law to exclude it. All that . have contended for is, (hat tho cotnmoi domain of this government, acquired bj tho common blood and treasuro of all part: of tiro United States, shall be just as fro* to one class of citizens as to another. Whet the people of a Territory are in tho proves: of approaching wlint inny bo called tb( maturity of their territorial existence?i State government?I say much is to hi patdoned to the opinion which prevails a tlie time. Hut, sir, ifnn insulting inteifer enco were to bo made by a majority o ongresR, or stHt an interference as wouh exclude a slHxcboli'er on the brond gronrv. (hat he ?? unworthy if equality with ; non-elaveholding population, do you sup pose I would stay in the Union if I couh get out of iij "That is the true doctrine. I Jo no wish to live under this government wirei tlio constitution perishes. I believe tin gentleman is or has been in the church [Mr. Harlan. Yea, sir. J I have vert yreat respect for tiro church, nitd for tin Senator; but I fear lie contends that, whili tho letter killeth, the spirit cannot giv< life." Avothkr Arctic Kxrr.biTiov?

The Unfallhfalien of Jirtrt. The New York Courier, commeuting upon a charge delivered by a judge of that , oily to a grand j?ry. make* KOIIIC remarks relative to*the responsibilities and the un- J faithfulness of jurors that may be rend with advnutago in oilier localities tlinn that | for which they wero specially designed: : Judge Cepron dwells wifh just emphasis j upou tlio sanctity and supremacy of Inw, . and nobly viudicates iis claims upon its | own sworn ministers. Ho has not spared the jury-box itself, which judj?C3 are button f apt to treat as if, liko the throno, it was , "hedged in with divinity." He tells the grand jury plainly, that petit jurors, like j other public servants, are capable of being ( actuated by bad motives, and that their j conduct is justly subject to inquisition. We j are glad at least to hear this stylo of speech. | K is a positive fact that one of the principal ] causes of the great impunity of crime in j this city has beon the unfaithfulness of petit jurors in wilfully preventing hii agreement upon a verdict. The juror in the late ( Ehling case, who, according to the publish- | ed statement of ono or his follows, refused j . to consult, with the declaration that till the r City Ilall rotted down he would never , agree to a verdict which should send Kb i ling to the Slate prison, was hut ono of a emitimmoinna of in?-oi? ii-lm f.?* ? ?7"T?"V? *' J~~ """ ""'v "" i year* weighed liko nil incubus upon tlio administration of justice in this city, lie flagrantly violated his oath to givo a true verdict according to evidence, and as richly ' deserves the State's piisoti -s any peijurer now within its walls. Nay, more; fur the 1 false words of a witness upon lite stand may 1 bo neutralized by cross-examination or overborne by other evidence; but the false con-1 1 duct of a juror utterly and inevitably 1 thwarts and foils the end of justice iu the pending trial. It is a difficult-and invidious task, wo know, to judge between the firmness of a , conscientious conviction and tliccontumacy ' 1 of a foregone conclusion; but it is a subject | upon which the law has a light to make inquiry and pass judgment, and upon . which public opinion, too, lias a right to 1 express itself. There is nothing in the ' function or character of petit jurors that * should any more shield tlieni, in tlio case ' of unfaithfulness, from public aniiuudvcr 1 sion or from legal punishment than any 1 other class of public servants. In fact their i 1 guilt, if guilty, is deeper, for it is propor- | lioncd to tho sacred tics* of tlio rcsponsibili I 1 ty intrusted to them; and what civil ro j 5 sponsibility can be like the juror's? Who i 1 like him decides upon character, life, liberty j and property! Lotd Brougham said that 1 "tho wholo machinery of government - ' King, Loids, and Commons?is simply to I r get twelve men into a jury-box," and the j 3 expression is not too strong to tboso who | 1 believe as we do that tho highest interest of human society is justice, and that even j freedom is secondary to it. Our jury boxes ! j have been open to evil influences in a way tlioy should not havo been; their character 3 must be redeemed, and Judge Capron has ! 1 ' entitled himself to the public thanks, in r j i^ldly declaring the necessity.

What j will the render think when he is tohl that the cost of publishing Lieut. Wilkes' book, i t j which grew out of the Antarctic exploring i I expedition, has already amounted to a : ; million and a quarter of dollars? So says ! I Mr. Clayton* in the debate to which we ie- | for. He also stated that Commodore Pert ly's book on Japan has cost the (iovern- i t meat two hundred thousand dollars, while 1 , three hundred is the estimate for printing ! , the teports and engravings of the teconuoi- i i sauces of the Pacific railroad routes. These i expenses, let"it be remarked, are not for j I j any work dono in expeditions referre I to, ' > I but are simply tlio cost of getting an ac- j ! count of them upon paper, in readiness for i circulation. Was there ever such aboini ! liable extravagance and waste ol* tiro public money as this! No wonder that Mr. Ciiltenden exclaims j > that the Senate of the l/nited States has! 3 l eionie a great publishing house, outvie : : ing even the Harpers in the extent and 1 magnificence of its publications. The ro1 cognition of the fact, we aro glad to see, disgusts him with-the whole busine-s, and leads liiiii to declare that lie wishes to see | an end put to it. It is the same with Mr. 1 3 Clayton, who is not less emphatic in Lis ' denunciation of these schemes of individual profit and glory. We should like to know . how much money the various individual? I " connected with the.-o several publishing en- : r lerprisea have made. It would he a cuiious >' exposure if they could be anatomized and ' laid bare to a wondering public. Vol these ' ' aro but samples of works of the same ties 1 ciiption done by tlio same authority, and r at the same prodigal cost. There will be s but too much rejoicing if tlio venerable o Senators from Delavvnre ami Kentucky do ' 1 not become mollified by time and familial i ; * ty with theso particular expenditures, ami a allow their spasm of economy to subside., i It takes a flinty nature to resist the bland B seductions of the federal capital in the mat; t ter of tho expenditure of money for w hat ever purpose; nnfl we confess, not without I* emotions of regret, that it is not such gen 1 tleinen as the Senators we have named to ! 1 whom we look for consistent devotion to , i the maxims of frugality. Of our eminent public men, it is true, that we find theii I impulses often right, and their spontaneous sentiments as frequently just; but it is also t true that neither stand the test of a vigor I > ous pressine. "Greatness," said Mr. lhirke e "is never exact." No doubt tho apothegm . was invented by him to cover just such y cases as public life is constantly affording1 a of u gpuerous disregard of tho vulgar matB tcrs of dollars and cents. p Wo arc on the high road so long- trod j by European tiovcrnrncnts, spending lavishly and without alint, encouraging prodi- . ii calitv and profusencs* is every branch of expenditure, and lending ultimately to llio I same results?enormous national debts nnd . corresponding taxation to support lliem. it The remedy to bo found, and the only 1 a remedy of which the easo admits, is the " election of honest public servant*.

On Sundny morning, a few minutes heroic three o'clock, the sullcrings of her Majesty assumed so decided a character that it was deemed advisable to call in tho princes and grand dignitaries of the empire to witness tho birth of the imperial infant. At n quarter to 3 o'clock on Sunday inorning, the 1 Oth, the child made his appearance in this sinful world, nud the l'aris papers inform us that "tho imperial prince is of so robust n constitution that ho is nearly as big as the child of bis nurse, who is two months old!"

Cardinal Dupout, Gonsset, Donuet niul Mai lot, the Bishop of Nancy, and inferior clergy assisted, and all the dignitaries of the empire wcio present. Mass was celebrated by the Bishop of Adrns, nftcr which the Abbe Beplace preached a sermon from the text "Blessed is he that comelh in the name of the Lordl" and wound up with nn invocation in these term: "Bestow on him the genius and magnanimity of his father, the kindness and inexhaustible charity of his mother, the sincere faith and devotion of both; and, to sum up in one wish, bestow on him a heart worthy of his destiny and his name!" A name was then bestowed on tho infant?"Napoleon Eugene Louis Jean Joseph, fils tie France." This appellation was entered in tho Paris registers and signed by tlio Emperor,being witnessed by Prince Murat, tho l)nke ul Alba, Marshal Yaillant, Minister of War, M. Troplong, President of tho Senate, and Count tic Monty, President of the Legia!u< lure. On Sunday morning tho Senate ami Legislature met at eight o'clock and receiv cd the official announcement of the bit ih <> an heir to the throne, an announcement which was received with every appearand wf cordiality. The imperial infant, as I learn from : credible eye witness, and not front the tat lie of courtiers, (says the Daily News cor respondent,) is really as lino and robust : boy as ever was seen, lie is described at rosy, plump, well made, fully developer and with a surprising abundance of cites nut-colored hair, resembling bis father's. Crowds thronged around the palace will interminable inquiries, and a general illu ruination was gotten up over tho city o Paris. The Emperor made donations or '.lie event of 150,000 francs to various be ncvolent organizations, and the city government voted to the poor 200,000. Mes sages were also interchanged by tin Emperor with the Pope, Queen Victoria the Queen of Sweden, the Grand Ditches Dowttgi r of Baden, ami other courts; whil< flirt T .rtrrt ^liillt'A ( \?n\c nltoe 1 Mt KiriitiMV \/vi j'-*, nil'"' XTViVI ? ?l^ 1IH oflkinl announcement with loyal enlhusi asm, indulged ilio tedium of expectancy ii champagne, cigars, eatables, music, aiu invited their wives and daughters to koc| thenj companny.

The Empress received from the south o France an extremely dirty girdle, whicl the donor said she had worn fur seven con finements. At she had only hoys, sh thouyht the Empress would be ylad t wear it for I nek. Very great enthusiasm and deinonstrn lion followed the reception of the news ii England. Peace and war, nod all other question of moment, have dwindled into ittMgnifi canco before this domestic event.

Tu.it pro lo ject was?to establish an Academy of high grnd ' in cach (' uigressional D.strct, with a Faculty t c.icli, paid by the Stole, an aggregate salary ( i each Academy) of about $ I -,00() a year; tuitioi f. es to be eh.trg d aboat the same as those charge c in Col I eg. r; the builihng*, furniture, apparatus, i to r" etc , to be paiJ for by the State;?that these Con ,c grew oual Academics might serrc as feeders?a * preparatory schools?for the S.

Docs the Express wan in ! proof of these fact*? T.ie printed Bills and printc '< * Reports furnijilt it. M Wt stated that M ijor Dean was expelled Ui ; C'?rk liip nf the House to m.tko room for on - < :c tht nnointrii The Kxpre*$ says Major Dm rf attributed his defeat to a 11'iilrniul oombinatioc j U'e know he attributed it to both combined; ?r know that such was alleged to have been the j> ir cause at the lime.

Who said they were no | j They nrc doue no better. i Major Dean had as fine business talents as th re pr<M t Clerk, or as any other man we know i South Carolina, llut there stands an u^ly 'nc and the College was n>>t to blame, and the Kiprtt ? i must find some way of accounting for it. t0 i We stated that Major Henry was beaten by th ,p ! College. Hut, quoth the Kx/ireM, he was beutr i, j by a man worthy of It i steel. And, prny, wit \\ sad the contr ry? ' Mr. Middleton was a worth competitor." Yes, lie was. And what does tin signify? Major llcnry, "?ys ihc Exprr**, was 11 warm Iriettd to the College. Now, we knew Ma ' Henry far more intinintely than ever did on )( 1 friend of tlio ftsprru. He r<nt his si>n to tlis if. ' College, avow ng b ?? ronton- generally to h pet - * f ' suoal friends (as we bar* no doubt may of tbdai, now in this town, will ffirw) that it was grind- \ ing aeceaaity: if hia a?o remained in the 8tale, bie political uacendancy and promotion were almost hopeless, auks* l*e were a graduate. Tide woe true. Is'one knew it belter than Ma). Ilrniy. 1 Now, thie is precisely wbnt we mean by the domination of tiic College. Among other aint.ll mnttare, the Express notices oar language?"stumbling on the 0. C. College." That was true. The College riota ocen red after we left Columbia, going down, and before ewe return, coming back. That was aa incident of the trip, aud led to our reflections on the general subject. We stated tltnt we had no sympathy with ths "Collegmte government," because that influence had been exerted against useful reform, and agelbet all eelieinee for the benetil of the common people. Thereupon the Express (laps its wings, and , with an /? triumph?, discovers that all we h?7C said about ths Colli ge ia merely the aplccn of disappointed ambition! It wns not our defeat, dear friend?it wis the defeat of the State?the defeat of your people and mine-?-the defeat of uiohiiode* who hare human hearts and human sympathies. Ifnve yon no eye to perceive, no heart to pity, no patriotism to deplore, the spectacle, at the muster-field, on the ^ public thoroughfare. of ignorant, unrending, up- ^ reasoning, and unreflecting freemen, and the children of freemen? Is your list of subscribers as large n? it ought to be, and a* it would be, if we had a reading populutionf The Express stnicd, without qualification, Chut we had more than once aspired to the Trusts eel*, of tlioS. C. College. This we pointedly deniedjfcnd asked fbr its authority. .. Instead of giving any authority, when thua called for, to sustain its voluntary declaratkm, that journal r coolly asks us to admit, or deny, certain irrelevant j facts. Tltnt was ingenuous, truly! Had we not aspired to the office of Lieutenant ( Goveiuor? And to the Chairmanship of same committee? One incident of which offices was to be Tr uslec of the S. C. C'dlcge by courtesy, or custom! ' | N- w. was not that modest? Was it not very pcrl tiuent? Well, we pro|?ose to answer those questions, and ask some in return, which we suppose I common politeness wil! induce our friend to answer I i in his turn. , We did desire the chairmanship of the Commit 1 tec on Kducatb u, with the sole aim and purpose of , more tHoetaally carrying through the School Rsj form 15*11, that committee having charge of all bills ; of th.it nature; we did not care a fig for any Trus| tecship. We were not ap|>ointed in charge of that ! committee; but wc were n|>poiiiU-d chairman of | another, w hich we did not desire; but there was i quite as much In nor (if any) in the me relation as , the other. Our Irionls did vi tc for lis for the office of Lieu- , tenant Governor?a very coinpiimigilnry vote, too, j but without any jm rnonnl action of ours; and Mr. 1 DcTrcville was elected to that t?flioe, and he was I n graduate of the College, and very worthy of all ; his honors. Now, do these adiinssotis prove that , we ever ''nspiiiil t*> the Triuitei ship of the South Carolina College?" Tlial statement, ill virtue and j in tnoials, lias uot one parti do of truth in it. We do not mean to a.iy the Express asserted nnylbiag I it dee nit d untrue.
