It styles it not only a violation of good faith, but a departure from the fundamen? tal principles of our government. "This now measure." says the Times, ''leaves the people no voice in tho matter-no freedom of action whatever, and without such freedom of action all pretence of m vote is sheer mockery. They are to be ooo rood into voting tor the amend? ment by an act ot Congress * The Times very truly adds that the passage of thin amendment will add greatly to tho difficulties which sur? round the' poacotui settlement of the whole question, and eventually involve the country in oinbarraooiuciitb quite as great as any from which it has escaped. "It is the work of Mr. Morton, one of the senators from Indiana, and is another illustration of the reckless and un aorupulouu temper with which he pursues his political ends." Although the amendment may be adopted, tho Times is of the opiuion thit it will not command the respect of the people, and will contribute eventually to weaken, ?nd possibly to overthrow the partv which makes itself responsible tor ii. TH I KG S IN WASHINGTON. A. Speele of War at tine White Moase-Be? lligerent Interview Between tbe Pres? ident and Senator Koss-The Senator Ordered to Leave the Execrative Presence Tbe Washington correspondent of the Now York Herald telegraphs under dato of Monday last: Senator Boss, of Kansas, one of the gallant seven who voted against impeachment, beard? ed the President in his don this morning. The report is that Boss went to the White House to look after certain Appointments for his far-ofr State. He had heard that tbe President in? tended to moko certain nominations incom? patible with the slate he (Boss) had made out tor himself. BOBS, like eather enators, is human, and has a soul not above yearning for the loaves and fishes. His soul felt sad at what be had learned concerning tho designs of President Grant, and, to give his soul comfort, ho wended his way to the White Housa. He was admitted at tho same time os old Zach Chandler, but had tho first chanco to speak his little piece to the President. *T come, Mr. Pr?sident, to talk with you about the appointments for my Stale, having hoard that you intend to make certain nomina? tions that may not harmonize with my desires, if you deem it worth while to consult thom in the least." To which Grant laconically and interroga? tively responded, "Well, sir." This Presidential response was not in tho true manner to be relished by tho Kansas sen? ator. "Am I to understand that 1 am rightly informed as to your stated intentions to disre? gard my preferences in the matter of appoint? ments, Mr. President ?" inquired tho senator. "That is a question hardly susceptible of an answer, sir. To what appointments do you allude? Inform me and then I can reply," re? joined Grant. Senator Boss liked the second answer as lit? tle as the first, but having come for enlighten? ment, he was determined not to go away in a fog. Tho senator, therefore, with suppressed raga?, explained the appointments to which he had reference. "Frankly, sir," said Grant, I intend not to make those appointments." "What, sir I You scorn lo accommodate me in tho least,'' exclaimed Boss, boiling over with rage. "Sir, I believe I have given you my answer," firmly but sternly replied Grant. "This is not treating me fairly, Mr. Presi? dent, nor as one gentleman should another," uttered Senator Koss. "I have no intention to be dictated to, sir," said Grant sharply. "Nor have 1 to be insulted, even by you, sir, were you twenty times the President, exclaim? ed Boss, with his ire stirred up to white heat. "1 must declino to be annoyed any farther on the subject," muttered Grant between bis teeth, "and desire the interview should terminate." "You and your de ?ires may go to hell 1" roar? ed out Boss. "Leave the room, sir I Leave the room, or I shall force you out 1" thundered Grant. Boss took his departure ace irdingly, io a terrible rage, quitting the White House like one rushing from a plague, and hurried to the capitol. President Grant threw himself into a chair the moment the door closed and wiped bis brow with his pookot handkerchief, evident? ly very much agitated. Old Zach Chandler ap? proached and was thus addressed by the Presi? dent: "Excuse me for a few moments, senator. After that interview I must take a little timo to cool off/* Such is the account which I have learned and which 1 give substantially os it came to me. it ejection ox* the Alabama Treaty-The New Basis of Negotiation-What Presi? dent tirant says-Territorial Aggran? disements, Ac., elie. The Washington correspondent of tho Bal? timore Gazette writes undor dat? of the 12th instant : The treaty negotiated by Air. Johnson, I learn, is to bo summarily rejected in all its parts. Negotiations upon an entirely new ba? sis are to be entered into, upon principles de? signed to form a national "platform" bf party policy, exclusively to be occupied by Sumner himself. The corner-stone of the programme is the absorption of territory, no matter where situated, whether in the frigid, temperate or torrid zone. As to England, we are told that General Grant has lately said, as taught by Sumner himself, that "Beverdy Johnson's plan will never do. England prolonged our war, aud owes us for at least a year of it ; our block? ade expenses are largely due to her action, as is also the destruction of onr commerce, and snoh debts cannot be discharged by paying for a few paltry shins." This means simply that the enormous debt whioh Great Britain owes us cannot be estimated in dollars and cents. Nothing but a session of the "New Dominion" and the "Possessions" of the Hudson Bay Company, together with the. negro Island ol Jamaica, &o., &o., will suffice to save the na? tional honor. Of course this benighted people will not notice the balance sheet. Not an acre of all this "territory" is of the slightest value to England, or any other government. Yet it will not only suffice to pay for all 4'the paltry ships" and''national honor," but commanda premium, perhaps to tbe "paltry" amount of a few hundred millions of dollars, to whioh, however, should also be addded whatever oar suffering claimants upon England may manage to swell her mythical indebtedness. The Cub un Question Before the Cabinet -Spanish Insolence to he lie Oak rd Conservative Views of Secretary Pista -Heceeriaftionof Coban Independence Favored hy the Rest of the Cabinet. A Washington dispatch, of the 12th inst., to the New York Herald, says : Tbe Cuban question has been very muoh dis? cussed here to-day, and from all that can bi learned from official quarters it seems not al all improbable that trouble will grow out of thc late infraction cf international law by tin officers of Fernando Cat?lica in the seizure ol two passengers from an American brig. It ii well known here that the Cabinet is not a unit on the question of Cuban recognition. Th? matter was seriously considered at tho Cabinel meeting on Friday last ; but, though no d?ci? sion was arrived at, the views of each member, except perhaps Bawlins, became known. Seo rotary Fish expressed very conservative views He felt as much sympathy for the strugglinp Cubans, as any man, and earnestly hoped tha their efforts to aohieve independence might b< crowned with success ; but at the same tim< he deprecated any official pronunoiamento ot the part ot the odministaation in favor of ont side or the other. He thought it should be th? policy of the United States to remain perfe stlj neutral, and to adhere rigidly to the old doc trine of non-intervention. In his opinioi Cuba's destiny was annexation, whteh wouli come at no distant i iy without any action oi the part of this governmen% .'Let ber alonep said Fish ; "give her a chance single bandet to wotk out her own destiny, and she wil gravitate towards the republican Union ii spite of every obstacle. Spain will soon tire o resisting the mandates ot tate. Proud thong] she bo, the old Castillan monarchy will fin? that she cannot afford to continue her efforti to crush out the free aspirations of the ropub boan sentiment of Cuba. It is enterprise toi costly and mnst bo abandoned sooner or later But let tho Unit od States interfere, and 8paii will notonly exhaust ber own resources to pre vent our acquisition of the island, but she wil draw to her assistance the combined strengt) of En glan J and France, ona we will have b combat a coalition representing the most pow erf ul military and naval forces m Europe. Wh; tempt this contest unnecessarily ? Why drat the repubiio into a formidable war, when i bas but just emerged from tbe most formulan! civil strim in the annals of history I What w need now ts peace-peace, unless preserved s the sacrifice of honor, a sacrifice which is no even in question in tbe present condition o affairs." Such aro tho view? of Premier Fist who belongs to tbe old conservative achoo and who is hardly equal to the live issues o the hour. Grant has great confidence itt hi Secretary of ?tate; and though his privat views are believed not the same, BtilL?r?s fears the foreign polioy of the admistratton will Tb shaped and guided by Mr. Fish. Other mom hers of the Cabinet are diametrically oppose to the moderate policy o.unsHlad by the Set rotary of State. Some of them urge promt snd vigorous action, and want tho President t ?reclaim a bold and manly policy in regard t nba. Borle aud Creswell ave said to be quit enthusiastic ra their advocacy of Cuban recoil nition. They believe wo have bod enough < truckling and subserviency to menarohrcl ii tercets under the specious pretext of the Si ?redness of mt rna tiona! law, and that tia time has (-oma when we ought to toke a fres st ari, not only reannouueing tho Monroe do? trine, but proclaiming to the world our*int? ? ?? lia - " ?*' uij; .? * tion to HW cp from tho continent the lost vestige of monarchical domination. Hinco tho nowa of tho insult to the American flag, involv? ed in tho seizure of passengers from an Amer? ican brig, the feelings of Boric and Cresswell, and per ba os other members of the Cabinet, bavo been tnrned more strongly in the channel of Cuban sympathy, and a more vigor?os policy bas boon urged upon General Grant. Leading senators and representatives, among the latter Gonoial BankB, bavo Waited upon tho Presi? dent and Secretary Fish, and counselled an im? mediate demand of a satisfactory explanat ion from Spanish authorities. Bul Fish still hugs conservatism to his bosom, and repeats his timid warnings about tho dangore of a war with Spain, England and Franco. He tastes that he has as yet received no official informa? tion concerning tho alleged outrage, and that in tho absenoo o? suob knowledge he oannot, with propriety, act. In striking contrast with this slow roach policy of Fish is the praotioal course ot Vice* Admiral Porter. Ho would not walt.for his subord natos to send along their dispatches whenever it might snit their convenience, but immediately telegraphed to, Admiral Hoff to make a report of the facts connected with the supposed outrago, and to promptly adopt such measures as the national honor might demand. In the first place, Porter don't hesitate to pro? claim on which side aie his sympathies, and in the second plaoo, he believes a national in? sult should be avenged without the interven? tion of red tape. The Vice-Admiral, if he bad his way, would not only order his' subordinates to give tho proud Spaniard' Jess to if-he has in? sulted our flag, but, insult or no Insult, would lot filibusters go away unmolested to the* aid and deliverance of the Cubans. Porter thinks tho Cubans ought to bo recognized, holding that they are now in a botter condition than tho South was when Europe accdrded her bel? ligerent rights. TUE ENGLISH COTTON TIC ADE. Smith, Kdwards di Co.'s jiXou.tn.ly Cotton Ciro al aw. ADELAIDE BUILDINGS, CHAPEL S TB I ET, ) LTVEBPOOL, April 1,1869. } Daring the month of March our market was quiet till near the close, whoo a decided im? provement occurred, which raised prices on the spot id. to Jd. per lb. above the opening prices, but Surats to arrive have been advance odjd. to |d. per lb. We still estimate the consumption of the Kingdom at 46,600 bales per week, tho same as in our last issue. Tho average deliveries du? ring the seven weeks of dulluess, from the 4th February to 26th March, were 45.000 per week from Liverpool and London, and as there can be no doubt that tho stock held by spinners is decidedly less now than it was at tue beginning of that period, it seems that the average con? sumption during; tMt time cannot have been muon under 60,000 bales per week. We there? fore tbi ik that Our estimate ot 40,000 bales per week as the existing rate of consumption for the whole Kingdom is, perhaps, fully low, und we rather incline to think that 48,000 or 50,000 bales will be the rate before long. lt will be noticed that the deliveries to the trade from London th is year aro muon above the average, being 8600 bales per week up to this date, and the stock there is now reduced to 77,000 bales, against 70,000 bales last year. Tho average deliveries to the trade from the two ports up to this dato now stand at 62,700 bales, against 65.300 bales last year, showing a deficit in their takings of about 150,000 bales. It is believed that our spinners now aro entirely bare of stock, and probably hold 100,000 bales below what they did at this time last year. The money market during the past month has remained easy and without ohango, the rates for tho best bills in the London market being occasionally a fraction bolow tho bank rate of three per cent. There seems little chanco of any ohange at present, The pros pee ie of our market-it must be al? lowed by all-have undergone a change during tho post month, and that dior., -o han bron in tho direction of higher prices. The current of feeling which prevailed in Manchester n mouth ago, and to some extent also here, in favor of lower prices, has passed away, and the preva? lent opinion uow among intelligent men is in favor of a higher soale of prices baing main? tained for along time to oome. Tbe chief agent in effecting this chango has been the extremely disappointing out-turn of the American crop ; the receipts throughout March have only averaged 87,000 bales per week, against 64.000 bales last year, and the total deficiency in receipts at tbe por s, as compared with last year, has run np to the alarming figure of something over 100,000bales. Against this, it is alleged that some increase has gone overland to Amerioan spinners, but the data on this head are not very reliable. It must be admitted that these figures give a far smalls* crop than was onoe expected ; indeed, it is difficult to avoid the inference that the total will fall below last year. At all events, it seems pretty certain that the reoeints at the ports will do so-perhaps to a very considerable extent. No doubc it is still alleged by some parties in America that receipts are held baok in the interior partly from bad roads and partly from a speculative spirit among planters, but we do not think that this ex? planation can be relied upon; the decline m re? ceipts has been so uniform at all points that it indicates apparently the approaching exhaus? tion of the crop. Nor does it seem at all likely that planters will hold on to an arbole that is paying them a prout of 100 per cent. As to the badness or the roads, we believe that an unusu? al amount of. rain has fallon in the South, but the same cause has made.ali' the rivers navi? gable, and thereby drained the most distant sections, and we should think this has com? pensated for soy difficulty in hauling to interi? or depots. Altogether, we find it impossible to believe that this year will be so different from all past ones as to bring to light a large amount of cotton during April and May, when 1 February and March have shown a constant unbroken dwindling of receipts, and that with full i i vcr 3 and most tempting prices to the' {neuter. We confess we see no valid ground or believing that the receipts at the ports for the remainder of the season will exoeed the same penod last year, when they reached about 250 000 bales. When we look at the figures of foreign ex? ports the case seems even more alarming. Tb ere is now a deficiency of 800,000 bales in the export to Great Britain, as compared with last year, and also 80,000 bales to the conti? nent We do not see how these figures eon be materially reduced. There is only an ex? cess of about 100,000 bales in the Amerioan ports over last year; but Amerioan spinners, we believe, will require more than during the re? mainder of last season, and, therefore, we do not see bow the deficit in export to Europe can be less than 250,000 bales o it of this crop, and it may be considerably more, and, further, it is obvious that nearly all of it will foll upon this country. Amore alarming fact than this it is difficult to conceive, for we were stinted in our supply of American ootton lost year, so much that our stock in warehouse here was run down to one week's consumption before the new crop arrived, and it is easy to perceive that a severe economy must be prsotioed this year to out down ute deliveries farther by 200,000 or 250,000 bales. When we return to other sources of supply the prospects do not brighten. The accounts from India that we most rely on reiterate what we stated In our last issue, that the exports for this year will fall largely below the past one. From Egypt, Brasil and minor sources, we ara receiving about the same supply, so that it seems more than likely that the deficit in our total import of o?tton this year will considera? bly exceed 250,000 boles. Meanwhile spinners hold no stock here or on the Continent. Stocks ot goods, also, aro very low, so that there is no "buffer" to break the effect of a famine supply of the riw material. Under these circumstances we might calcu? late on mu ;b excitement and a heavy rise of prises were the old speculative spirit afloat in this country, but times are much changed. The manufacturing interest is impoverished, the speculative spirit is weak, and avery one dreads and doo neates high prices, and lends as little help aw possible to force them np. The shippers of goods from Manchester get no encouragement from distant markets; India re? mains stagnant, and returns considerably les? than current Manchester coats; most of tho foreign markets are io the same way. and there ts little probabi ity of any urgent demand for Roods such as would rapidly raise prices in Manchester. We believe a very cautious spirit will prevail among shippers of goods so long ss these bigh prices kat, and thia will go far to check speculation in the raw material. Still it cannot he denied that acme moderato activi? ty of trade is now due in Manchester, ?nd if it be even sufficient to keep the tra le buying from our market 60,000 bales per wee):, it will act upon prtcoe. A large export denrrand has fairly set in, fcnfl as lhere is now great scarcity of eottoa on the Continent, and very little afloat from Amer? ica for that quarter, it seems likely that a brisk demand may continue for some time. These in? fluences appear to bo in favor of our market, and, taken in connection with the miserably poor prospects of future supply, would seem to t'uetify our present range of prices, aud possi? bly some farther advance sooner, or later. TUE TWITCLTEZL CASE. Detailed Statement from Mrs. Twitchell -Slie Denies all Knowledge of tne Crime-She Believes her Husband the Murderer-Letters and Con fe s s i o n ? from her Husband Produced-The Con? demned Man Appeal? to his Wife to Criminate Herself. Mrs. Twitcholl has furnished to the press of Philadelphia a full statement in regard to the murder of her mother. It ia very ion g, cover? ing several columns of tho papers. She disa? vows any knowledge of how or by whom tho murder was committed. 8ho says that she rode ont with her husband on the afternoon of the murder.

She was soon asleep, and waa awakened by the girl ringing the boll. She cannot say . whether George was asleep or not, but thinks he was not. Sbo saul George, 'That must be the girl." He replied that he aapoosed it was, but ma le no attempt to get np. She then went into the entry, oalled ber mother, bat received no reply.

This is all she knew of the murder. She knew nothing of her husband's ousiness bat bis own statement that he was doing well. She visited him in prison until the plot was arrang? ed for her to make a falao confession, which sho would not outer into, and kept away from him. The first letter recei>*?, through the Rev. Mr. Bringhnrst, is dated March 7, in winch Twitcholl says he has jost listened to an exhor? tation apon the first chapter of James, suffi? ciently plain to make evident the neod of a Saviour. He says : "Dear Camilla, please don't noRleot the salvation of your soul 1 Though wo most soon part here, oh 1 let me feel before I go that you will try to live so that you will meet me above, where there will be no more sorrow and parting. Dear Camilla, I want yoa lo feel before I go that when your time shall come I can stand and meet yon on the pearly shores of Heaven." A letter, dated March 8, says he hos bad two hoars in prayer. He says: "Oh, Camilla, I always remember you lu my prayers, hoping that God will duoot your heart arght, and He will if yoa will now ask him. Dear Camilla, the spirit of Chustianity is good to Uve with os well os to die with. You may think this very strange language from one who has been such a sceptic and scorner as I have been; bat in my oalamity God has ohanged my heart and shown me the fallacy of my ways." A letter was reoeived Wednesday before Good Friday, being slipped in his wife's hands by the prisoner, giving her instruoti ns as to how Mrs. Twitchell should make a confession to save his life. It said be bad consulted with tbe prison authorities, and they agreed with him that he ought to ask hor in their presence if she knew about tho murder, cud they thooght it probable she would say "No." Twitcholl saya: "I told thom I oxpooted yon would dony it altbongh I don't believe that you know anything about it. This set their miuds at rest about me. You must never any anything to.Bringhnrst, for that wooldrum, all. I will write ont a confession for yon and Sve it to you on Friday, and yon must learn it oroughly. I will also Rive you all tho direc? tions how to act; and when you do it yoa must not say anything of this, not even to rather, lt must be kept perfectly secret. Camilla, spar J me this h uri bio, awful death 1 Yoa alone can do it. Oh ! save m J ! Yon have got a good heart, and I know yoa will do this 1" On Good Friday she reoeived a confession, written for her to make, saying: "I tell you nothing else can save me bat thia, and this will positively do it." This directs his wife to confess that Joseph Gilbert, ooo of the prinoi witnessesfbr I he Commonwealth, and Mr. , a gambler, did the murder, she being in? strumental in aiding them. A hellish set of instructions for her guidance were drawn up, Raying: "Now, dear Camilla, I have done ali that I can ; it remains for yon do to do the rest. When yon como in my cell the next time you bring either lite or death with yon. Remember, this, I know from the very best authority, will save my life." Another letter says : "Camilla, here are two confessions; choose which one yoa please. First, yon killed your mother for money, so yon need not give a deed of trust for the house; you pat husban l's shirt and coat on, se if yoa got blood on them it would look as though your husband hod the clothes on. Second, yon did not do it, nor did yon see it done, hut yon know that your husband did not do it; yon had mode arrangements with Gil? bert to have it done." All of the letters are m the handwriting of Twitchell beyond shadow of doubt.' A Tit AG EDT XX MARYLAND. A Young Lady Deliberately Shoots Her Betrayer Dead. The quiet village of Jarrettsville, Harford County, Maryland, was thrown into a state of the utmost excitement and contusion by a tragedy which occurred in its boanda on Satur? day evening huit, about B?X o'clock. Nicholas McComas, a young man, living about two miles from the village, was shot, and almost instantly killed, by Miss Martha J. Cairns, who resides the same distance from Jarrettsville, bat in a different direction from it than the house of McComas. The accounts given of the melancholy affair render it certain that McComas sedaoed Miss Cairns over a ?ear ago, ander a promise of matriage, and ia annary last a child was born, which is living at the present time. Miss Cairns frequently importuned McComas to fulfil his promise of marrying ber, bat by equivocations and ex? cuses be evaded hor requests until she felt to? ward him no other feeling than utter hatred and determination to avenge ber injuries. On Saturday evening ho had ridden into Jarretts? ville for the parp?se of attending a meeting of a militia company, of which he was a mem? ber, and at the time of the morder was in tho yard at the rear of the tavern. Miss Cairns followed bim to Jarrottsville. and, ar? riving at the tavern, dismount ed from ber horse, fastened him securely, and passing into the ladies' apartment, removed her, riding skirt', her bat sad other inoambranoes that might retard ber movements. Leaving the ladles' apartment, with a Colt's revolver in ber hand, she walked directly through the bar? room, which was foll of men, and stepped oat upon a book porch which overlooked the yard where McComas was. Standing in the door? way opening from the bar on the porch, she took deliberate aim with her pistol at M.'Miomas and fired, he being soarooly tea paces distant from ber. The ballet struck him in the breast, sad os be reeled wildly toward the pillars which holcL"up the poro li, ?be fired two more shots, neither of wbioh took ?ffjct. He clasped the ?illara of the porch and endeavored to sustain imself by them, bat weak from the rapid flow of blood from the Wound, his strength failed him and he foll to the ground. She walked directly np to bim, and standing over him, fired the two last shots from hor revolver into his body, one lodging in bis right leg, and the other ia the groin. -SHU carrying her re? volver in hor hand, she passed book through tho crowd of men, who, as if stricken senseless by the awful scone hoi og enacted bofore their eves, did not move a finger to bar her passage. Along the poreh, tbr ?ugh the barroom, and back to tho ladies' apartment ebe walked with? out showing a traoe of emotion or ? qualm of nervousness. In the dross in sr room she re? sumed her riding habit, and again mounting hor horse, sho galloped beek toward hw home, and had gone a considerable distance from the village before any one thought of following her. Mr. Jarrett rode af er her, and joining her about a milo from Jarrottsville, aheatked h:?? it MeGomoa was dead. He replied yes, I when abs said, "I told him what I was going todo." She exhibited no signs of regret, and was apparently aa composed as if she bad just finished tho most ordinary action. On Sunday she rode to Bo'lair and gave her? self up to the authorities. Miss Cairns is about thirty, and MoComas was thirty-seven yoars of age. Both tho partios belonged to highly re? spectable families, and held a foremost position in tho social life of the county. Tho tooling of excitement in regard to this act of summary retribution runs very hieb, in the neighbor? hood, but public opinion is generally on the side of Misa Cairns. McCouias is supposod to have been killed by the first shot which struck him, and the last two shots wore probably fired into his dead body. Somo time nineo Miss Cairns brought suit against McComas for breach of promise and seduction, but tho case ha J not yet come to trial. -He.-e aro a few of tho spring odicts of fashion: Everything which hangs softly and gracefully, suoli as marin?os, muslin-de-Iaine, ?kc, is very fashionable, and is being employed moat freely in the composition for costume for the ensuing season.
