We fiuish, to-day, the publication of the debate in the Senate on the bill to protect United States officers aud others in the dis¬ charge of their duty. SENATOR IDHVKR, " IDA MAY," AMD THE SOLID MSI oar BOSTON. It is no light task, quoth the old adage, " to make a Bilk purse out of a sow's ear," but that operation is not more difficult and impossible than the process of making a hero out of a big, black, odorous buck negro.op a heroine out of a thick-lipped, flat-ooaed, nappy-headed negro wench. The Abolitionists have made many efforts to do so. They have shed oceans of crocodile tears over Fred Douglas, and shed honest blood as a sacrifice to Anthony Burns. But they were engaged in an up hill business. The dismal black could not be washed out, the thick lips could not be reduced, the flat note could not be elevated, the nappy hair could not be straightened, and the African odor defied Eau de Cologne and otto of roses, Without the removal of these obstacles heroism was a plain impossibility. The essential ele¬ ment of romance was wanting, and everybody knows that heroes and heroines are romantic beings. Here was a crisis, an emergency, that frown¬ ed its terrors on the Abolitionists of Massachu¬ setts. But there was one man who was equal to the great occasion. He saw the peril, and he determined to meet it. This man was Senator Sumner. We may imagine his an¬ guish until he succeeded. We may fancy his eyes " in a fine frenzy rolling." We may pi«- ture to ourselves his tall, stout figure convuls¬ ed with spasms of philanthropic sympathy. We may imagine how he wrung his hands and tore his hair. But at length the mind of the statesman springs a great thought. A sudJeu inspiration comes to his relief, and he exclaims like the ancient mathematician, " eureka eu¬ reka." As the apostle was moved to go to Damascus, so was Senator Sumner.the grave and the august Massachusetts Senator, moved to go to the borders of Virginia to hunt for a slave without the disgusting African marks of a flat nose, thick lips, Ac., &c. The grave Senator makes his. pilgrimage. He finds a girl in slavery who is nearly white. The base low marks that intervene between the unadulterated African, and heroism, are absent She is quite white. She is bought by the Sen¬ ator (another person furnishing the funds) and transplanted like a tender lily to Massachu¬ setts. But before she is sent to that solid and erudite state, a daguerrotype of her is taken, over which the august Senator presides. It is sent to Massachusetts. It is shown to the solid men of Boston and to all the grave legis¬ lators of Massachusetts. Inasmuch as we spoke of this daguerotype and the Senators letter, which accompanied it, we forbear at pwsent to say more about it, and return to the original. That original's name ia "Mary Mildred Botts;*1 but, in order to enhance the romance and U> give more effect, the Massachusetts Senator bestowed upon her the very captivating nvne of." Ida May." The Boston Telegraph, in noticing her arri¬ val, says: "Redeemed Slaves iw the House..Solo¬ mon Northrop, of New York, who spent twelve years as a slavo on the Rod River, and Ida May, the little redeemed slave, from Washing¬ ton, were in the llall of the House Unlay for a short time, and excited much sympathy and I interest. The little girl has do featun, which indicates any negro origin. Her eyes »P"k^ just like those of any other little girt when abe saw the big codfish hanging in the hall. The abolitionists have at last found out what the Southern people found out long ago. that it is sheer nonsense to undertake to invest thick-lipped Africans with romance. They Jiave found out that to sustain, protract, and render effective their sympathy with African ¦laves, they must catch a white one with all the marks of the Caucasian raoe, and show her as a poor persecuted slave to the solid men of Boston, and the grave legislators of Mas sachusetts. Senator Snmner is the ring »»s ter, and he aequiU himself r»oet creditably. But this girl, picked up by the grave Masse- *\useits Senator is to while, that we confess, we are not without our suspicions. When carried to the office of the editor of that im j maculate sheet, the New York Timet, he thus exclaims: > u She is one of the fairest and most indispu¬ table white children that we have ever seen. 'Prominent individuals' who saw her, expreseea their ' astonishment that she should ever have jt>een held a slave. Several thoughts here suggest themselves Oh is, that she is, in all probability, not a liought slave, but a humbugged white girl.1 The second is, that, if wbita, as the New York Timet declares, it is vory silly in the Aboli¬ tionists to undertake to illustrate African slavery by means of a white girt. The innocent young girl finds herself with a and romantic name. They make her swop h«* Virginia and her true name for the delectable appellation of."Ida May.

Poole, the recently mur¬ dered pugilist, took place at New York on Sun¬ day, and furnished one of the moat extraordi¬ nary scenes that have ever bqan witnessed in that city. The New York papers of yesterday devote columns to the detaiU of the ceremo¬ nials observed on the occasion. We make some extracts which will give our readers an idea of the pomp and circumstance with which the dead bruiser was attended to the tomb. The Time# says: We have seen a great many very large popu lar demonstrations iu this city at the funerals of great and distinguished men; but we re¬ member none that exceeded in number that of William Poole, who wus buried yesterday. The streets in the vicinity of his residence iu Christopher street.the large open space di¬ rectly in froift of his house.the windows, piazzas and roofs of the adjacent buildings, were crowded to sufl'ocatiou j while Bleeker street, Broadway, and all the streets iu this city and Brooklyn through which the proces sion passed, were lined by an immense multi tude of spectators, whose appearance and de meanor were in the highest degree respectable and decorous. A stranger, knowing nothing of the circumstauce»of the case, would deem it strange that the death of a man celebrated for nothing but bis propensities and faculties for fighting, should call out a popular demon¬ stration at least equal to that witnessed at the obsequies of Jackson, Clay, or Webster. Per¬ sons familiar with this city and the peculiar features of this case, however, will have no difficulty in .finding an explanation less dis¬ creditable to our people than the naked facts would imply. The Journal of Commerce heads its account "rowdyism inaugurated," and says: "The mortal remains of 'Bill Poole,' a victim to the late brutal affray at Stanwix Hal), were interred yesterday at Greenwood Cemetery, and the event was made the occasion of a tremen¬ dous public demonstration, that could hardly have been viewed by good citizens with other emotions than those of mortification, pain and apprehension. From his late residence in Christopher street to Broadway, and thence to the Battery, presented one moving mass of hu¬ manity; windows and balconies were crowded, as were many house-tops. Without danger of exaggeration, it may be said that a large con¬ course of citizens has rarely assembled, in honor of any individual, however eminent for intellectual or moral acquirements, or distin¬ guished for public services, "Tooor mind, the spectacle was darkly por¬ tentous, not only foreshadowing the subversion of Sabbath institutions, but evils it would be unwise to predict. It formed one of the series of rapidly occurring circumstances serving to indicate the existence of deep feelings of sec¬ tarian animosity among large classes. The street preaching excitement, the Gavazzi riots, the attacks 011 civil and religious processions, and existing religio politico organizations, are manifestations of the same character. "Poole was a prominent man among a certain class of "American" (Anti-Catholic) bullies, pugilists, &c., confederated in antagonism with an " Irish" (Catholic) party of much the same description, and between whom there lias ex¬ isted a deadly feud. He is now a victim to the cause he so unwisely espoused. The present state of the popular mind affords abuudant material for sympathy,.be is a martyr to American liberty, and goes to the grave en¬ shrouded in the national flag. These facts serve to explain the extraordinary spectacle referred to, which, it appears then, was not a manifestation of regard for any personal quali¬ ties the deceased may have possessed, so much as an expression of so called popular sentiment in favor of Americanism. The peculiarities of the case demand the more loudly that the law, as concerning the accessories to the death of Poole, should be sternly vindicated, and all retaliatory measures forestalled." The Tribune says: "The furteral of William Poofe took place, from bis late residence in Christopher street, yesterday afternoon, and his remains were conveyed through the city, and to Greenwood, with almost regal pomp. For hours before the proeessiou began to move, people assembled by thousands in all the streets and avenues leading to Poole's residence, and Christopher street was completely choked up. Not only were the streets in the neighborhood of Chris¬ topher street full, but the whole of the route over which the funeral procession was to pass in this city was thronged with an immense multitude of spectators. Windows were filled, and many were upon the roof-tops and balco¬ nies. Trees snd lamp-posts were climbed to get a view of the procession as it passed. It is estimated that nearly one hundred thousand persons were spectators of the funeral.' The Courier briefly described the procession as follows: " The funeral procession moved from the house about three o'clock, p. m. The escort, preceded by Dodworth's full band, consisted of the Forest' Life Guard, the Rvnder's GrerfV diers, the Hanoeck Chapter of the Order of the United Americans, the Poole Association and the Poole Guard. After these followed the hearse, and the mourners in carriages. The coffin was covered bj the American flag, and the hearse, upon which was emblazoned the words 'I die a true American,' was drawn by four black horses, appropriately decorated. The procession moved down Christopher street to Bleeker, down Bleeker to Broadway, and down Broadway to the Hamilton avenue ferry. It was after five o'clock when it reached the latter point. Stanwix Hall, where the deceased received his fatal wounds, and the Bank Ex¬ change, his late place of business, was draped in mourning.' Yesterday was a dark and dismal day. It was a fit day for the assembling of the Know nothing convention of Virginia. They love darkness, and yesterday they had dark ness. We hope that they enjoyed it. It also suited, we fear, the New Hampshire election, rhich took place yesterday. By a strange coincidence these two events occurred on the same day. But while dismal darkness and clandestine secrecy may suit the Know-nothings of Virginia and the voters of New Hampshire, we know enough about the openness, honesty and candor of the bulk of the people of the Old Dominion, to feel assured that they will never tolerate an ordeT that seeks to obliterate the most prominent traiU of Virginia character. We have already heard rumors in regard to the nominations made by the convention, but we distrust these rumors, and will not, therefore, take the pains to mention them. We shall no doubt be enabled to give to our read ers some information touching the action of this convention in our issue of to morrow Morning, MT The New York papers of Monday are filled with account* of the pompous funeral ceremonies performed over the poor boxer and bruiser William Poole, who was recently killed in th*t city. The pageant is said to have been of a most imposing character. The procession was very large, and the honors bestowed on the murdfered man rivalled those that were paid to such illustrious statesmen as Calhoun, Clay, and Webster. These honors were not rendered because of the talents, virtnes or public services of the unfurtunato man. They were rendered by tho new secret party for political efl'ect. " I die .» true American," said Poole in bin dying mo¬ ments. The words were caught up by the Know-nothings and emblazoned on baunera. They regarded him as a martyr to what they call American principles. As ye said yester¬ day, ho was brutally murdered by rival bullies and pugilists, some of whom were of foreign birth. He was murdered because of the per¬ sonal jealousy and hatred they bore him. But the members of the Order to which ho belonged have sought to make capital out of the death of the poor man. The honors bestowed upon Poole will no doubt tend to multiply and make honorable the profession of bruisers and pugi¬ lists, in the city of New York. A SOCIALIST COLONY IN TBIAH. We announced some time since that a band of socialists were about to form a settlement in Texas, under the management of Victor Con- siderant. We find in the Austin State Gazette the following well-timed and sensible remarks on the subject: " The socialist desires to destroy individual rights in property, and if he is not a very intel¬ ligent and moral man.a rare thing.we may have in him a neighbor who will rob and plun¬ der us whenever he can get the chance, for he holds it as a primary principle in his creed, that no individual has a right to accumulate property for himself, and all above what is ne¬ cessary to sustain him belongs to the rest of society. " Again, the socialist is an Abolitionist every¬ where. He would not be less opposed to slavery by living in Texas than in France or in Ohio. It is part of his creed. Now we are told that John Allen, of Ohio, and Morns. Vic¬ tor Considerant, propose bringing out from France to Western Texas a colony of socialist*. This move for the purpose of building up a sect opposed to our political institutions may well be regarded with Jealousy, and the found¬ ers may rely upon it that they will not be suf¬ fered to tamper with our institutions. " The whole principle of colonization, where men of a peculiar caste in religion or politics seek to array themselves together in particular sections of the country, both as landholders and fuctionists, is at war with all the elements of society, and cannot be carried on without creating bitter and unrelenting prejudices and animosities among our native citizens. We note this advent of socialism in Texas as fore¬ boding us no good; and we wish them to ljave a fair understanding before they reach our soil, that as a political sect our whole people are against them." If such be the principles and the objects of this proposed colony of socialists, as we have every reason to believe, we think that the peo¬ ple of Texa$, a southern and a slave State, owe it to themselves to put a stop to the move¬ ment. They had just as well permit Theodore Parker, with a band of Massachusetts Abo¬ litionists and slave stealers, to settle among them as those socialists. There are nominally four candidates for governor at the election in New Hampshire on Tuesday.namely, N. B. Baker, Democrat; James Bell, Whig; Asa Fowler, Freesoiler; Ralph Metcalf, Know-nothing. But it is pro¬ bable that the opposition strength will be mainly concentrated upon the renegade Met" calf. The candidates for Congress are as fol¬ lows: District. Democrat*. K.

The "Patent Safe" Cie«try».We bad hoped that two rogues, Messrs. Howard and Irwin, would be trird at the present term of the Criminal Court for their swindling practices in this city. The proof again»l thein beiug clear, they would, pro¬ bably, have been convicted, and furnished with a residence in the Penitentiary, m a punishment fur their crime. Several weeks ago we gave the particulars oI their arrrst. They had cheated oue grwen victim by their bus? arts with a Utile metallic box, or "patent safe;" reaping spoil by belling ou ibe peculiar properties of the "invention; ' the oue acting as the confederate of the other. Oflicer Keuibel made the arrest while they were fleecing another victim near the status of Washington, on the eastern grounda of the Capitol. Juatice Doun, having examined into the case, required them to give bail, which waa obtained without difficulty ; officer Kembel and officer Wil¬ liam A. Mulloy becoming sureties. But, as theae rascals had attempted to cheat a man in Balti¬ more, they were committed to the jail of this county io await a requisition. About three weeks ago, two officers (Messrs. Smith and J. T. Pierson) came hiiher from that city, bearing a warrant purporting to be Irom Jus¬ tice Morrison, for the bodies or Howard aud Ir¬ win. Justice Donn waa applied to, through Mr. Ratcliffe, their counael, to deliver them into the cuatody of thoae " envoya extraordinary. He repreaented, among other things, that th,e jail waa an unhealthy place for them, and that they, having given security for their appearance to anawer for the offence committed in thia city, could not le¬ gally be detained ; and inaisted on the aufficiency of the warrant in the hands oi the Baltimore offl- cera. Mr. John Davia, tha chief ef police of thia city, remarked, in the preaence of the counael, to Jus¬ tice Donn, that the paper should not be recog¬ nized, inaamuch as it did not bear the seal of a responsible court in Maiyland; and, further, that the justices of that State and Pennsylvania have never recognized a warrant from this District, unless' it waa similarly certified. Whereupon Mr. Ratcliffe accused Mr. Davis of improper in¬ termeddling, in such terms as provoked the in¬ dignation of the chief of police. For a tew mo' ments it was thought that there would be a con¬ flict of arms or lists between these two gentle¬ men ; but officer Busher stepped between them, commanded the peace, onrd thus, probably, pre¬ vented a rencontre, which would not have re¬ flected credit on either party. After due eonaideralion, however, Juatice Daun ordered the prisoners to be delivered to the Balti¬ more officers, and conducted back to that cily. But, instead of performing their duty, they re¬ turned minus the box-game gentry, who tricked them by making their escape! Officer Kemble had, previous to this fact be¬ coming known, thrown up his responsibility as their bail, in part; aad it was not until officera were dispatched to the railroad station for the re¬ arrest of Howard and Irwin, that the escape of the prisoners was ascertained. Mr. Keinbel atarted in purauit of the fugitives, and followed their track to Bladensburg, but failed of hia errand So the birda eacaped, apparently without diffl culty. They may now, for aught we know, be prosecuting their vile arts in some other section of the country. It is our opiniou thai ihc legal authorities of Baltimore ought to investigate this case. It is due. to justice, and to the protection ot the community from the classes of swindlers who regard every man as their legitimate prey. The Stave and Barrel Machine.Hutchin¬ son's pa^nt.now on exhibition at the fair of the Metropolitan Mechanics' Institute, has created quite a sensation in our community. At the recent World's fair, in New York, it attracted great atten¬ tion, and received its highest award a silver medal. No branch of mechanism stands more in need of reform than toopering. By the use of this machinery, a first rate barrel, tight or slack work, of any size, can be made at less than half the usual expense of hand-cooperage, tor dry barrels the staves may be cut, jointed, and crozed, and the beads cut and turned, for three cents a barrel; Such limber may be used for stsves and heading by this process as cannot be formed by hand. The machinery consists of a stavc-cuiter, cutting not less than twenty thousand good flour-bar¬ rel staves in ten hours, (and we have been in¬ formed by the gentlemen now exhibiting it, Messrs. Hutchinson and Company, that twenty- five thousand csn be cut by it within that period | of time;) a stave-jointer, jointing seven thousand slaves; a crosier, crozing fifteen thousand slaves; I and a head-eutter, cutting twenty thousand pieces a day; a bead-jointer and a head-trimmer; thus finishing ihe heads and staves from the rough block, in a manner and with a precision truly as¬ tonishing. The machines are msde of iron, and well fitted with the best steel knives and bits; and we are assured by those who bsve used them that they are eaaily kept in food working order No machinea at the fair have undergone a more thorough examination by millers, coopers, aud other practical men, than these. The work with these machines may be done by boys. We have been induced to give this extended notice of Jhis new invention, from the belief that it is indeed truly valuable, and with the hope that all peraona interested in this branch of mechanism may avail themselves of machines which cannot fail to benefit their own, and, relatively, the infer- esta of the public. Messrs. B. Milburn and Compsny have machines of this c.haracler in oppration in Wash¬ ington. The Monument Affair*..Mt S. 3.
