EVENING STAR. THE WEEKLY STAR. Another good number for the week ending to-day; filled with the latestand most inter esting news, foreign and domestic. The enco miums of the press, everywhere, attest the high reputation in which the paper is deserv- edly held. Terms $1.35 per annum, or three Sents a single numer. SEIS. OF THE MORNING PRESS. ‘The Intelligencer, commenting on the recent Proclamation of the Captain General of Cuba, raising the blockade of that Island, says: ““Weagree with ourcotemporary, the Union. Wn thinking i: probable that it was the judicious Course pursued by our own Government which led to this step of the Captain General. That course relieved General Concha from all ap- prehension. for the present at least, of any fil- libustering invasion. The denouncing by the President, in the first place, of all sueh ille- gal enterprises, and, inthe second place, the resence in the Cuban waters of a fleet of Amer- crulsers, rendering the evasion and suc cersof any such expedition from our shores Bextto impossible, have had the effect, no doubt. to give a feeling of eecurity to the Cu- ben suthorities, and enable them to dispense with ‘be measures of precaution which had been deemed necessary.”’ The Union rejoices over the probable polit- Yeal effects of the receat Virginia election. I WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. —eeagee Who Shall be Collector 1—Some $200,000 Per annum is paid into the treasury of the corporation of Washingtor by our citizen tax- payers, among whom are inclutied not only the various owners of real estate here and those who take out licenses, but every man who rents a house in Washington or buys of any licensed dealer. The proper manage cent and custody of that large sum, is a matter of Prime importance to our fellow-citisens, and in making a selection of » manager and cus- Yodian of is, men of common sense wil be governed by just such considerations as would guide them in selecting an agent to transact Private business for them—a financial manager and custodian of their private funds, when that may be necessary. Two Persons are be- forethe people of Washington for the position, one of whom must be chosen Rosarr J. Rocus, the present incumbent, is Probably known to every voter in the city, certainly to every one who has had occasion to pay a dollar in person, into the city treas- ury. His oppovent is John M. McCalla, of Kentocky, who is probably known to every member of the Know Nothing lodges of Wash fngton, if to few others of our fellow citizens. Oc him we hall speak presently. Mr. Roche has grown up in our midst ; his early advan- toges having been quite as meagre as those of any other Washington-reared lad, we care not what may have been his parents’ position in life. When old enough to handle a drumstick, he enered the service of his country as a drummer boy in the marine corps, and was for many years in that capacity noted for his Meadiness, excellent character, and patience Under the restraints of his humble and irk weme position. When regularly discharged from the tervies, he went iuto Todd’s hat store, where his capital business habits and com- mendable devotion to the interests of his em- ployer, soon mado him one of the principal managers of that gentleman's extensive bus- iness. From thence he went into a clerkship im the cflice of the city collector, then Mr Rothwell. So well did he discharge the da- ties of that position, that his fellow-citisens, when they obtained the right under our city’. Bew charter to say at the ballot box who should be their c_liector, triumphantly elected him to that office. He has held it for four years, and re may declare without fear of contr idic- tion that in the whole course of that long time, though necessarily thrown into contact with every tax payer in Washington, some of whom sre unreasonable in the matter of ‘oot- ing their tax bills, (as some men always will be,) not a single complaint of the manner in which Mr. Reche has discharged his official duties bas ever been uttered. He has given Gatice satisfaction in that position to all men ef all parties and all turns of mind This ia the truth; yet we question whether as much ean be said of any other man who ever eld such an office. It arises from his fidelity, intelligence, probity, courtesy, industry, pa tience and cerupulous integrity, all of whieh qualities be possesses ina degree 80 remarka- bie, taat his bitterest Opponent in the election to come off on Monday next wil not gsinsay @ught (hot we have written above coneerning Bim. He is oppoeed in this election simply be- @anse be declines approving of the Propriety of proseribing a portion of his fellow citiggns Decause they do not worship God as he does, and another portion because God chose that they should be born in some other land. These are the ressons, and the only reaso<s why the Pecpleof Washington are asked to proscribe him, than whom no other native born Wash- ingtouian ever set a better example through Out his whole walk in life, to their children, ever more faithfully disobarged ali the duties eonfided to him, ever did more in his sphere for the progress and Prosperity of our eliy, cr ever reflected more credit on the soci- ety in which he was reared and has lived all Bis lifetime. Fellow citisens, these are but simple truths, every one of them known to thousands of both parties in your midst. Jom» M. McCaxua is the man for whom you are asked to proecribe Robert J. Roche. He was first heard of in this region during the President al canvass between Clay and Polk. In the course of his eleotioneering tour of that campaign, as the bitter and brutal per- senal slanderer of Henry Clay, he first visited eur city. The editor of the Star, who was also on the stump in that campaign on the Demovratic side, followed him in a speech at the memorable Shooter’s Hill, Fairfax County, Va., mecting (of 1844) at which thousands were present, snd in the presence of those thousands (many of whom, now ia Washington, recoliect the circumstance well) the editor of the Siar, before commencing his argument, took occasion to proclaim from the stand that Joho M. MeCalla had not said ove word im- pugning the personal charactor or patriotism of Henry Clay which he endors<d; and that be felt it due to himself, as it was his lot to follow Mr. MeCalla, to purge himself from any tuspicion of joining in a warfare on a loyal, patriotic and true-hearted gentleman, bowever much he might be desirous of pre- Venting the Government from being adminis- tered according to that gentleman’s views of Public affairs. We recur to this fact only ‘that we may not be charged with inconsistency im arraiging the assassin of Henry Clay’s ington, for whose interests, elevation end prosperity ho man in his li | they shall believe his story about arms in the fetiae labored with ; ol¢ Capitol ; Aut it simply ealls on tham to more single-minded fidelity and seevess ban! arm for purposes of unprovoked riot and did Henry Clay. ; Mr. McCalla, az we remarked above, first eppeared here a: the stamp cslumniator og the private character of Henry Olay, armed With certificates from political parsons of his own church membership, with wood cuts rep- resenting Clay to be worse, far worse in his character and habits, than any known man outside of a State’s prison. Such was the en- tire staple of his political harangues. Thous- ands who will read this have heard his foul mouthed detraction of Mr. Clay, belched forth before audiences of hundreds and thousands While quite as many koow that Henry Clay very properly regarded this man as the bit- terest and most Joatheome personal enemy it had ever been his lot to make in the course of his practice as a lawyer before the bar of justice, where, if we remember cor- reetly the circumstance occurred ahich turned the miad, heart and son! of Johe M. McCalla into a burning voloano of hate for the great Kentucky statesman, for the gratification of whieh be (Mr. MoCalla) alone lived, until God, in his Providence, saw fit to call the great man beyond the reach of the poisoned shafts of his splcenatic detractor. When Mr Polk took hia seat in the Presiden tial choir John M. MoCalla, who had been a (Democratic) federal office holder in Ke. tuoky, tnder Van Buren, applied for office here. There are other gentlemen in Washington be- side the editor of the Star who recollect dis- t notly that he (McCalla) was appointed to office by the Polk Administration, not because his course toward Mr. Clay was approved, or on account of his qualifications or political services; but simply because it was understood and believed that if he should dare show his face at that time within the boundaries of Kentucky, (his home,) ho would be summarily hung or shot down by some of the thousands on thousands there who personally knew the utter untruth of his wholesale and violent personal detraction of their State’s honor and pride—Henry Clay. He was appointed to the Second Audito:ship of the Treasury only be- cause Mr, Polk did not choose, if he could prevent it so ocsily, that the life of any man should be sacrificed for his advocacy of him. There are hundreds in Washington of both parties who know that no man was put in of- fice here by the Polk adiinistration in any such position, whose four years discharge of his duties created a more decided and genera! impress on of his want of competency, through his bad temper, want of system, lack of spirit of accomodation, &c .&*. His administration of the duties of the Second Auditorship were the cause of constant complaint by members of Congress and others, as hundreds of both parties are well aware. Oa his entering office there stood a balacoe of some $500 against him on the treasary books, a3 t!:< taker of the cen- sus of Kentucky, which was not liquidated by bim until 1845, when his account was closed in fall. Asa matter of course he wert out of offize on the secession of Taylor, being, if we remember correctly, the very first psraon re- moved inthiscity, becaus: he had been the soshamelees calumniator of the personal char. acter of Henry Clay. He remained a profes: sing momber of the Democratic party up to the oer in which he was refused office under Pres ident Pierce. He had been weighed in the balance and found wanting in those qualifica tions necessary to justify his second appoint- meat toa position of trust and responsibity here. He left his former party affiliations with a po- litical sore head, and on the advent of Know Nothingism turned up @ high priest of the dark lantern, oath-bound secret conspirators. He is now known to the people of Washing. ton only as the bitter, virulent, and bigoted persecutor of his fellow-citisens, on account of the accident of their birth and the form of Christianity to which they adhere. Twelve years an office-holder in Kentucky, when hounded out of that State by public opinion, he was four years an office-holder here. Sub- sequently, he was s pertiaacious office-seeker from the Democrats, until they refused him place; when b> suddenly found out that their principles, men, and measures deserved his condemnation, detestation, and villification, allof which he has since poured out upon them without stint—an office under the new party being all the time in view. He has so- journed here since 1845. In all that time, fellow-citizens, has he become in the slightest degree identified with ourcity? He has not Did he ever even vote inoursity before the last election? While the recipient of a large salary from the General Govornme.it, did he have thrift enough to lerve office with 2 dollar more in his pocket, or owing a dollar less than when he entered it? If he has had, we certainly have not heard of it, having alway: understood him to be a shiftless man about business mat- term Do you, fellow-citisens, propose to place your most important financial truatin the hands of one who, with every possible opportunity to “do wellin the world,” has not evinced his capabilities turning his advantages to rea- sonable aec‘zntt This is a sober question, soberly ask = If you are as sensible as we take you to be, you will be quite as far from trusting to such management of our city’s finances, as you would be from putting your own private money matters in the hanis of one who, in the course ef a long life-time had not proved himself competent to manage his ownt: |: own advantage.

Carry no Arms there.—Those who have not given much attention to Know Nothing tac- ties would naturally suppose that the state- ments of the Organ, that arms, for the anti- Know Nothings ‘o use at the polls on Monday, are concealed in the old Capitol building, was the statement of what the editor understood to be a fact, and as such would naturally be laughed at as an absurdity, end a faleehoo! too stupid to be believed. It seems strange on the face of the statement that it should be treated in any other light than -s a good jokes illustrating the degree to which this editor supposes this community capable of being galled. But it is a se:ious matter. Too cow- ardly to come out and say what they mean, the men who edit that paper, in the absence of its sick responsible conductor, resort to that eourse—well understood by « certain class of Know Nothings—to convey to them the man- date that they shall arm themselves on going Private character before the eltisens of Wash-| te the polls. It ts not at all intended that bloodshed, and the disgrace of our city; and they perfectly unders:and it, while it ts sup- posed that their opponents will se misled. It is to be hoped that every Ant!-Know Nothing will go to the polis with an open ticket, and with no other weapon, and with an unwavering determination to deposite the same. Ballots, are better than bullets. Such sre the weapons with which we will put to flight the arrogant and unpfincipled agents cf Know Nothingism. Once well beaten, the insulting swaggerer becomes a “‘ boot lick.” We did not suppose there ware any of intel- ligence in this eommunity base and blood- thirsty enough to call on either party, ina manner s0 unproved, to arm themselves for the polls. It shows the desperateness both of the men and their causeinthiscity. Ifthey deny what we cbarge them with, let it be proved by their cohorts coming to the polls, as their opponents surely will, uxarmed. If violence is perpetrated by armed Know Nothing bullies at the polls or elsewhere on Monday, the in- stigator will be the first indicted. Who, after this, can doubt about the origin of the mob on Saturday evening? Know Nothings cannot carry the coming election by force of arms, nor by the fraud of packed commissioners operating in secret; and if violence ensue, the blood shed will be upon the heads of the present Organ managers and their coadjutors. But let no one fear. This armed offal dare not attack a quiet voter, armed with his bal- lot, and shielded by the elective franchise. They cannot bear the glance of sach a man in the daytime. Mojor B. B. French.—As an impression that this gentleman is connectes with the Know Nothing secret political organisation has ex- isted among our fellow citisons, and as that impression was doing him grievous injury in the estimation of many of his friends, we re- cently took occasion to bring the fact to his notice. Whereupon he sent us the following letter, which we have obtained his permission to publish : Wasuineron, May 31, 1855. Dear Sie: I have seen a letter written by you yesterday. I iftended to have seen you personally to-day, but my official duties pre- vent, | not “a member of a Know Nothing lod, am not a member of th2t order—I ne @ member of that order as now or- gantzrd, nor do I know its name, its forms, its principles, or have with it the remotest con- nection or sympathy. In the early stages of Know Notbingi-m I went, under an entire misapprehension of its character, far enough to ascoriain that, as an honorable man holding office under this Ad ministration, I could not go with them, and I withdrew. I never took part with them in anything. I sustained to the utmost of my power John W, Maury, for Mayor, at the last election I voted for him, and did all I could to induse others to do so. I have recently taken measures to make my position as public as possible, and i mean it shall be known everywhere, ond I stand ready to take all the personal consequences that may resait from it. Until [ was betrayed by some unprincipled member or members of the order my tongue wastied. Thanks to those who betrayed me to injare me, they have loosened my tongue, and J feel my freedom, and intend to use it to goed purpose in our next election. I shail not fail to support the nominees of the anvi Know Nothing party to the full ex- tent of my ability. Yours respectfully, and in W. D. Watraca, Eaq. Baltimore Bullies.—Many citisens have called on us to say that some of the Know Nothings are expecting 2 large gang of row- dies, raffians and bullies, fresh from the stews, gambling-houees and low groggeries of Balti- more to make their appearance here on Mon- day morning next, to aid the Washing‘on gang of Saturday night last in regulating our eles- tion We have to say to those who sre under apprehension of the damage they may do— give yourselves not the slightest uneasiness, gentlemen. Their presence and all possible attempts on the part of any bad men to inter- fere with the rights of the people of Wash- ington om Monday next, have been amply guarded against. The anti-Know Nothing citizens of Washington, knowing from the ex- Perience of Saturday night last, that our po- lice in this contest are little more than ma- chinery to aid and abet the violence of rowdies and rufflians, have taken measures to protect themselves if assailed or trenched on any where and by any parties. They know their tights, and, lacking defence of them in the officers of the law, will surely themselves de- fend them. haste, . B. Fasxca. The Knowing 'Un —Oar talented, ingenu- ous and truthful neighbor thus discourses of the Know Nothing majority of our City Coun- cile : “They have paid off $60,000 of the city debt—have materially improved und beauti- fied the city—and, what better than all, have reduced the rate of taxation from 70 to 60 conts on the $100. ‘ihe laws have been rightly maintaised—many nuisances have been abated, and order, peace and quiet have prevailed in every section of the city. No other oity in the Union, we firmly believe, has been better or more economically governed, than has been the city of Washington during the fiscal ear whisk bas just expired. Weaim:: tha itis a knowing ’un; quite as knowing a» >+' city affairs as with reference to the Virginia clectiqn, but not a whit more so. The trath is, the late Know Nothing Councils have paid off some $40,000 due by the corporation when they entered office, and leave $60,000 of debts incurred by themselves, to be paid oat of means to be raised by their successors. Of this fact our talented, ingenu ous, and truthful neighbor was of course una- ware, or with its scrupulous regard for the truth (as manifested in its recent cock-and-bull story with reference to the Secretary of the Navy and Commodore Paulding) it never would have told any euch bogus tale as we quote from it concerning its friends’ management of the city’s Gnances, As for their rigid main- tenance of the laws and their preservation of order, pesce, and quiet in Washington, the reader is referred to the example of Saturday night last, before Brown’s hotei, where they “did” that thing“ up brown’ as évery one hereabout knows. -Verily, our neighbor is confiding, a8 well as talented, entertaining, courteous, enthusiastic, knowing, and truthful; man with half an eye will see who reflects @ moment on the real condition of our city’s finances, and on the refreshing scene of “ peace, order, and quiet” which came off in front of Brown’s Hotel, on Saturday night last. Long live our talented neighbor ! Considerate folicitude.—Know Nothings sround the public places of Washington are expressing heartfelt apprehensions least the determination of their opponents to meet their refusal of a judge on the election boards of Anti-Knew Nothing shall in each ward wit- ness the counting of the votes, will result in a loss of hundreds of votes to the Anti-Know Nothingtioket. This is what we call “ high.” Gentlemen who have eoncooted the plot, you have made your arrangements in which you set at defiance every principle of courtesy, right and justice, and have thus given ample room for laying the charge of intended fraud at your door. We have to inform you that there is not a man among your opponents in Washington who does not heartily approve and endorse the plan agreed on, to compel your agents to make a fair return of the bal- lots cast in the four wards. It will be carried out to the letter, though you squeal under the defeat of your disreputable scheme at the top of your bent from now until the votes are counted out on Monday night next. You don’t deal like fair, open-handed, bonest men, and you will be dealt by as men should be, who by their acts proclaim that they are not to be trusted. The Anti-Know Nothings in Washington are neither ashamed nor afraid to exercise the right of suffrage against you, as openly asthe Anti Know Nothings of Vir- ginia—whigs and demoorat:—did on Thursday of last week. They know that in that course lies their on y positive safeguard against the frauds the concostors of the council’s scheme design to have perpetrated, if possible; and they meaato bring you up on Monday next with the round turn of Virginia time-honored viva voce. Cool.—Our talented, ingenuous, entertain- ing, enthusiastic, knowing, courteous and truthful neighbor, so fresh from its labors of interference in the Virginia election, wherein itcomplimented Mr. Wise and his supporters as honest folks at times compliment jail birds, “indignates” the conductors of the Baltimore Repud-icen in its choicest terms, for daring to express their opinion of the candidates and issues involved in the approaching Washing- ton election. Our neighbor beisg too sore- headed tince the Virginia election to argue with dignity, force and in a gentlemanly way, contentsitself with blackguarding these gentle- men personally; thus confessing the weakness of its cause and its own want of attributes to entitle it to the respect of those yho value true character in a journal as well asin persons. It is due to the responsible conductor of our neighbor, to say that he has been hors du com- bat since the Virginia election; keeping his bed, his ailing being neuralgia, and its pro- bable cause undue excitement in husrzing over the emphatic manner in which Virginia responded to his anti-election predictions, through faith in which bis friends won so much money fromthe Wisemen. We are persuaded that, had he been at his post during the last week, much of the disgraceful “copy” that has appeared in our neighbor's columns, would have gone, instead, in the Tejected- matter barrel A New Wrinkle.—We understand that the immediate coterie of our talented, entertain- ing corteous, ingenuous, knowing and talented neighbor, have actually tarned the Washing- ton Monument, of which they obtained the tempory control through fraud, into a place in which to hold their Know Nothing lodge meetings. They creep over there o’ dark nights, muffled up to prevent them from being identified by those who, when they answer a fellow citizen’s question, are under no cath. bound obligation to reply with a falsehood. The conversion of the monument, the farther presecution of which appears to be abandoned since they obtained possession of it by fraud and violenoe, into a Know Nothing lodge-room is indeed s new wrinkle. It was designed as an enduring testimony to the memory of the Father of his Country—of him who won for us from a foreign tyrant, civil and religious liber ty and equality. To what base uses has it come 80 scon! The Naval Retiring Board.—The following is a list of the officers who have been appointed to act on this so important commission : Captains.—Wm. B. Shubrick, M. C. Perry, C. 8. MoCauley, C. K. Stribling, A. Bigelow. Commanders —G. J. Pendergrast, Franklin Buchanan, 8. F. Du Pont, Samuel Barron, Andrew H. Foote. Lneutenants.—J. 8. Missroon, R. L. Page, 8. W. Godon, W. L. Maury, Jas. S. Biddle. The Service, we are sure, will hail the selec- tion of these gentlemen with great satisfac- tion, as they are all without superiors in any of the attributes which, together, make the serviceable officer and accomplished gentle man. They are to convene in this city on the 20th instant. Attention, First Ward Vigilance Commit tee |—We have every reason to believe that your Ward is being extensively colonised by the Know Nothings with sleepers for a night ortwo. The pen they have already erected at the First Ward voting place seemed evi. dently designed to prevent your challengers from questioning the right of any sueh partios to vote there; and, indeed, to defeat the pos. sibility of their challenging any one or re- cording the names of snti-Know Nothing voters who choose to vote open tickets to pre- vent the success of the frauds for the perpe- tration of which preparation seems to have been so openly made. Vote Cpen Ballots.--All men whose hearts and minds are not in favo: of dismissing from public employment, every mechanic, messen- ger, clerk and laborer, who does not belong to the secret oath-bound political organisation, will vote an open ticket on Monday, that be- ing the only possible method left by the machi. nations cf that organisation, to insure a fair retarn of the votes cast. Naturalized Citisens'—Be sure to take your naturslisation papers to the polls, even if you have voted every year for the past twenty years without them. Your votes will be re- fased unless you produce your papers, on offer ing them. nal.
