EVENING STAR. LUCAL INTELLIGENCE. ApProlttMEst or Forticngns 18 THE Srare Darantuaxt.—The Organ of yesterday con- tains the following : Wasuineron, February 27, 1855. Il a of the eee Organ: : In your paper of the 2ist instant, uc. der the head of “Facts for Americans—Jesuit- ism in owr Government,” endorsed by you, there are so many errors that I take the liberty of corresting the same, 20 far as they relate to my father and myself. The article alluded to says that I am em- ployed to aid the agontcontrary tu law Such is not the case. | 2m employed in the Depart. ment in conformity to law, and, amongst other duties, is that of aiding the disbursing agent, and sach assistance as has been assigced to that desk since the year 1829. <aaramen further says: «, subordinate employees in the State Department. bag “Pol iT sea Catholics, as by Mr. Edward Stubbs, in the place American citisens. And even this one ex- ception Mr. Stubbs has endeavored on several occasions to remove, and has only been re- strained from doing so by the influence cf prominent citizens of Washington, who per- sonally represented the case to Gen. Pierce ”” Thisiscertainly made out of whole cloth, as the facts will show. On the first day of July, 1853, the day on which my father was appointed to office, there were it laborers and four wachmen; since which time one laborer, a forei; and @ Catholic, has been removed, and a and a Catholic was appointed in his plac: 3 igned, and there have been appointed in their places three Ameri. ean-born citizens, not Catholics, one of whom fought for his country in the war of 1812. Of the watchmen, two have been removed, one of whom has been succeeded by a foreigner anda Catholic, and the other by an American citizen not a Catholic. With these removals aad a father bad nothing to do, and answer invariably haa been to those who have applied to him for office, that he bad neither the power to remove nor appoint to office. Averse as I am to newspaper notoriety, I cannot refrain from capa | hee to publish this, as I presume you would not willingly —_— in your paper what you knew to be ue. Very respestfuliy Wx. E.

M Ellis & Bro., on street, near the cana), which will be exbibited on Saturday next at the National Hotel. This val le invention for which a patent is pending here and in Barope possesses the following advantages : 1. It only requires one brakesman, who is to be seated on a chair on the engine, where be can keep a constant look out, being the jadge of the danger. BS The gore _— from ns momentam @ train, which is ample for the purpose. 3. The brales can be graduated to put on One ounce to each wheel, or sufficient power to check all the wheels in ten seconds 4. In operating on the brakes, a tazzle joint or its equivalent is raised up to prevent the cars crowding on each other. 5 The hindmost car in the train has the brakes operated on first 6. The brakes may be operated oncither by the reversing or forward motion of the engine. 7. The brakes can be graduated at the will of the brakesman descending an inclined plain. 8. The brakesman need not leave his chair in traveling one thousand miles. Gentlemen who are interested in car-brakes, and who cannot wait to see the public exhibi- tion, can have it explained by calling at the machine-shop of Messrs. Ellis, or upon the in- ventor at room 93, Nationa! Hotel. Scppex Deara.—Mr. Samuel S.

Suspicious Case—Canal and River—Kair— Free Schools, Ce Grongrtown, March 1, 1855. An individual was going through our city yesterday with a paper which had the appear anee of being considerably used, soliciting aid for a fgmily by the name of Sweeny, whom he stated lived at 604, on some street in Wash ington, near the large gasometer, in the First Ward. One individual upon whom he called, a that all was not right, went over in the afternoon, and thoroughly the neighborhood in which be stated the family ded, but could hear of no such or discover any house with such a number upon it. Every thing connected with this individual aud his mission, may possibly be right, bu. we confess that some of his replies, when questioned close, and the failure or the person above alluded to to find = sueh family or number in the quarter where he located them, causes the matter, as we remarked in the onset, to look rather suspicious.. Our object is to put both him and the public on their guard From many of his recites to questions put to him it is evident he is a stranger in this Dis- trict, unless bis object wa: to deceive The wa'er was again let on the lower level of our canal yesterday, This morning, it, as well as our harbor, is blocked u t and fast with ice. The letting in of the water upoa the canal bas enabled the factory and mills on the oanal to resume operations. The fair of the scholars of the Briantown Sabbath school closed last night. We aie pleased to learn that the net far sur- asses what was anticipated in the beginning. © object was, if possible, to acquire a suffi- cient amount to purchase a suitable library and other books for the use of the school, which we are gratified to know they have doze, and will have a handsome surplus to ap- Propriate to other purposes. 'e have been uested to say that a free day school will be opened next Monday morn- fog, in the room now occupied by the Brian- town Sabbath school, for the accommodation of the children living in that neighborhood The services of a very estimable and compe- tent young lady have boen secured to take charge of it, and in her hands tue school will doubtless prove a blessing to the neighbor- We sincerely hope that the incoming Board of Common Council, composed as it is of ge tlemen who, to our certain knowledge, are werm friends of public education, will at once take into consideration our present inefisieut school system. We have now but two schools, | one male and one female, with four teachers. for a population of 10,000. A tax of one mill percent. upon real and personal property, would doubtless yield sufficient, with the pres- ent appropriation of $1,500, to give us the requisite number of public schools. This would relieve many of our churches, who now by their parish schools educate the poor of their membership. The flour market is rather dull, with sales at $8.75.
