WASHINGTON NEWS ANT G9°gIP, Mr. Hiss —This icdividual, on whose mo- tton, it will be recoilcoted, the now famous personal expenses, while holding a court in | New York, which amounts to an aggregate of | about $18 per diem! The editor of the Post, when he comes to his Massachusetts committee on nunneries wes- tenses, will hardly venture to argue that euch raised, hay at length been expelied from the Legiclature of that State, bat not before he took oceasion to declare in writing that others of bis committee, and a larze number of other members of the Massachusetts Legis- lature, could be proved by him to have bren guilty of each and every ono of the practises for which he was tried, including more or less of the seventy clergymen who abandoned their pulpits for a time to serve their fell2w-citizens polltically. We venture to ssy that tha parties least damagei in pubdlic opinion by this nunnery- committee ef rt to make political capital are the conductors and pupils of the female schools, who were originally sought to be brought into disrepute by the movement The Legista:ure, as a body, have, through it. fallen-under the contempt even of their own constituents, with all their prejudices, bad pessions, abd almost invarlable habit of com- forting themeelves with the ides that they and theirs ean do no wrong, while no others can do anything righ:ly The moral of thia, Hiss affair will, ere long, be fal'y appreciated by the couutry; and oce of i's first effect; will be to disoredit any clor- gyman, of any denomination wh-tever, who shall dere to doseerate bis eacied calling by entezing the arena of polities, for which no man of that oloth, anxious only to serve the eauce of his meek and lowly Master, cen have a taste, Pride, lust, worldly ambition, un governable passions and o vet usness are the moving springs which induce men who hay: dedicated themselves to the cure of souls, to turn politicians. The history of the world shows that wheré, as a class, clergymen assume to be politicians, they iavariably brieg the Christian religioninto disrepute, by displsying elements in their character which to the mind of every sensibie and thoughtful man, give the lie lo their professions of holiness in their life and conversation. Orgazship.—Our cotemporaries eppear to be at 2 nor-plus—fai:ly at @ non-plus—in coming to somethirg like unanimity in the matter of determining just whose org?n the Steris. The New York Frpress and Herald are prone tc oa!! us the organ of the admin's tration. Our telented, amiable, entertaining, and unsssuming neighbor irsists on it that we are the organ of the Unionists in the Board of Aldermon of this city. Not long rince, during the session ef ths conforence of one of the ool ored religious denomiuations, we were visited bya deputation of their preachers, modest respectful, and very worthy ucen, in very black coats, and very white neckcloths, who reque-ted uz to publish a daily report of the Proceeding: of their body, with an intimation that the course and views of the Star made it the favorite paper of the colored population of the District and eurrounding coustry, au, therefore, the only Washington journal io which they felt anzivus to see their proceed- ‘ings published. We acknowledes tha force of their ccmpliment, for it wes so intended and received Oa Saturday last, the New York Jimes writes us down the spectal organ of Mr. Attor- rey General Cushing, who bas more ‘hun once been announced as the writer of our leaders by various journals, who evidently rasume te know mo-e about the effairs of our office thar we do ourself, though no man in the country ‘attends more closeiy to the immediate conduct {of bis vewspsper than the Scar’s editor does, in person. We imagfne ourself the organ of our young friends of the Diet-Ict who are iden- tified with military and fire companies. social slabs, &c., 88 they do us the honor, invariably, to resort to cur columns whenever wishing to rezob the dear public. We are, omphaticaliy, the organ, teo, of a great many people who de. sire to become famons in various ways, or who wish the folks by whom they are surrounded to know them better, and appreciato them In 2 business polot of view more highly. Under these ci:cumstances, we are, ourself, getting into a sort of quandary ae to who owns us; going to bed o’ nights with the mark of cne taster pinned ‘o us by our newspaper friend, and rising next day to find that these s2mo friends have suddenly transferred all right. title, and interest in us to some body eles—the Lord knows who. It la well that we are philosophic onder thie diurnal change of masters, made without as mscch as “by your leave, tir,’ to us. The meaning of ali this, however, is simply that we furnish the Scar’s readers with early and correct news about everythicg and everybody in which and whom the public, or any portion of it, happens for the nonce to be particularly interesied—being, through our activity and perseverance, so early and so thorcngh in the information we publish, as to give rise to the beilef, on the part of slower and Jazier news- paper wights, that we possess feoilities for lesroing facte erd opinions worth kcowing, other than those whieh ere the legitimate of g eat newspaper experience here, and perti- We have an idea of calling a convention to settle, beyond peredventure, the question of right and title to the Svar es an organ—all important questions being eettled in conven- tion in these times. The ‘Fast’ Judge —“We quote an insolent article from the Washington Sear in relation to Judge Ingersoll, whieh bears the unmis- tekable evidence of having originated in the office of the Attorney General of the United Scatee. ‘This isa cowardly way of assailing the reputation of a judge, and we presume will be properly resented ’— Neto York Even- tng Post, May 12h. The article t» which the gentleman/y editor of the fost refers was the foliowing item of pews: “A ‘Pas?’ Jopex.—Our astonishment st the recent decision of the Judge in the Kin uey and Fabens case has venished already ; insomuch as we hear to day, that he has sen’. in bills to the ecoounting officer of the Govern- ment for his personal expeses in holding the U 8. District Court in New York, (his owa distriet being Connecticut,) allowing hiuwself atthe rate ot somes $18 per diem. He is evi- dently = very ‘fast’’ liver, at the expense of Unele Sam, and probably sympathises with “fist men”’ rather than with the well being aocciety. Judge Hail’s bill for holding court in New York city, though traveling wuch further to reach there, amounted to less than one-fourth per diem of the amount charged | by this sp. aren? pro fillibustering Judge ” Now, we have to say that the above para- graph did not originate “in the cfice of the Attorney Genoral of the Uniied States,” and th t neither that fenctionary nor apy one un- der him bad ay more knowledgo of it ere it appeared in the Star, than the editor of the Evening Post bimeelf. The Judge in question will be the very last | ‘ke, agein man to dirpute the aceuracy of the fact that | | he has preseted a bill to the United States for # sam should be so pald out of the Treasury of the United States. The law authorizes the peyment of the personal expenses of Unfted tates Judges when engaged in holding court out of their respective circuits; but it never contemplated that under any euch pretence, & precedent chould be set for eqnandering the Publio money like water. The cffinee of pree #nting euch an acceust is more fligrant in a the Government, becanse the public havea right to look to furetionaries In such positions for models of propriety, moderation, and recii- tude in all they do as officers of tho Government. That the account in question (at $18 per diem) is ovtragious and indefensible, is so evident, that we venture te assort that the Evening Post will not print a line in its defence. Nor will the Post venture the opinion that 8 district judge of the United States can be in the habit of living at the rate of $13 per d:em, (*8.an extra out of the United States treasury,) without being a “fast” liver at the public ex- pense. With all due deference to the Even- ing Post, wo take the liberty of repeating the opinion, that tho extraordinary rulings of the jadge in question, in the cases of the United States vs. Kinney and Fabens, wherein prece- dent end common sense seem to us and to many others here to have been cet at nought, are in fair keeping, indeed, with that “little ao- sount’’ at the rate of $18 por diem for a hte} biil and et ceteras. We repeat, the presenta. tion of such an account dispels our surprise at the extraordinary rulings in the trials men" tioned above. A Meteorite —The visitcr to the Suithzonian Institution will notice in the large hall which is designed for the musoura, a pioce of iron, something in the shepe of an anvil. This isa remarkable specimen of meteoric’ iron, and is the largest mass in this country, with one exception. It we ghs 252, pounds ia high ly crystalline, quite ma!le2bls, and not diffisalt to cut with asaw. It was brought to this coun. try by Lieut. Couch, U. 8. A, from Satillo, Mexico. Various theories have been devised to aesount for the origin of meteorites. One is that they are small planetary bodies revoly- iog around the sun, and that at times they become entangled in our atmosphere, lore their orbital velceity by the resistance of the at- mosphere, and are finally attracted to the eerth. They are also suppozed to have been ejseted from the yoloanoes in the moon; and a third supposition is that they are formed from particles floating inthe atmosphere. Dr. J Lavrenee Smith who has made the subject a -pecial study, and bas analysed this meteorite and many cihorsin the possession of the Smith- sonian Institution, concludes that the moon is the only large body im space, of which we haveany knowledge possessing the requisite condition: demanded by tho physical and chem ical preperties of motcorites; and that they have been thrown off from that body by vol- canie action. Dr. Sa.ith conducted hig ana'ytical investi- gation in the Smithsonian labor:tory, where ne also made, in behaif of the Treasury De partment, an extended exan ination relative to the different kinds of mo/asses imported in- to pis country. The Sardivian Purcbases.—Through private letters received by the laet European steamer, we learn that Cabcur’s bargain with England te furnish the latter with fifteen thousand Sardinian troops to be wasted and destroyed ia the Crimea proves so unpopular in the Sar- dinisn army as already to have broken down his (Cabour’s) ministry. Many of the troops to have been cent off refused to go, officers and men shooting themscives to avoid this dis. graceful and self-immolating service. Sar- dinia would have received $332 per head of officers and men, for his majesty’s slaves thus sold to diseaze and death. The bargain hss but a tingle parallel in the hietory of modern nations; the enle by the Elector of Hesse of is aubjects to George III to fight the battles of Engiand in our Revolutiomary War. As in that case, these Sardinians have not the stigatcst interest in the war, as neither their country’s honor, rights nor interests ae in- volve in it. ‘be Official Distance —Military officers ani others ia the service of the United States, in California, who may of right gharge mileage against the United States for going out or comicg from the Pacific side, will please take notice that, according to the books of the Post Office Department, the post disiance between New York and San Francisco is but 5 560 miles, not 6,000 as heretofore allowed for, Hereafter all such accounts will be settled on this basie.

After a detention of two days, the passen 67s, mails, and treas- ures were transferred to the g:eamer John L, Stephens and landed at Patsma on the 3: in. stant; everything safe, and all the passengers in good health The steamer Sierra Nevada, from San Juan, arrived up at San Francisco on the 9th of April, and the steamer Goldea Gate, from Panama, on the 12th. Business in California was very dull. Money was tight, and several mercantile houses had failed. Souventeen ‘easels from Atlantic ports had arrived at San Francisco in two days. The mines were doirg well, but owing to a soarcity of coin, but very little dust had reach- ed market. The mint had no: resumed opera- tions. * Rain had fallen steadily in the valleys for a week, and on the mountains snow had fallen to # great depth. The unsatisfactory state of commercial pur- suits was driving large numbers of clerks and merchants to the mises. The news from Kern tiver was as contradictory as ever. The dig- gings wore represented as being by no means s0 rich as at first reported. Tho Know Nothings had been saccessful in the municipal elections all over the State, ex. cept at San Jose, where they were defeated by a fusion of the two old parties. Branches of “Freedom's Phalanx,” a secret society, have been organised in different sections of the State. . The Press Club of San Francisco have taken steps for the erection of a monument io the memory of Edvard Gilbert, one of the pio- neers of the press in San Francisco, and the first representative in Congress from Califor- ni a, The steamer Surprise and one of the steam. ers of the California Steam Navigation Com- pany were to have a race shortly for $5 000. Both branohes of the California Legielatare had fixed the 30th ult. fora final adjournment. The revival of the <enstorial question was considered very doubtful. : An anti-gambling law of a very stringent sharacter had been passed by both houses. It is caloulated to close all gambling houses. Dates from Portland, Oregon, to April 7th, mention that the Know Nothings had tri- umphed in the municipal election there. Sandwich Island dates to April 24 hed beer received. The United States sloop-of-war De oatur arrived thore on the Sth cf Miroh, and the Eritish eloop-of war Dido on the 9th.
