The number for this week will be found in the highest degree interesting; containing, as it does, the latest intelligence from all parts Of this country and the world, by mail and telegraph, including loca! as well ss Govern- ment departmental items. These, ard brief tales, anecdotes, etc., combine to render this quarto sheet valuable not only for present in- struction, but for fu'ure reference—a vclume, in itself, of current events and literary enter tainment. The subscription price is one dollar and a quarter ® year,or three cents for a sing!: number SPLAIT OF THE MOS” 26 PRESS The /utellagene-s comments cn a sort of ovnfes ion of the faux pas of the famous Cu ban janto, wherein it is alleged that they have deen most shamefully swindled by ship-own ers, American offivers, 40, and adds that their commander-in-chief (Gen. Qaitman, we presume,) was to have received a million of dollars on sobieving the independence of the island—that is, for hia share of the result of the en erprise. The Jvtelligeneer takes oc- casion to praise tiie administration for its forethought, energy, patriotism, &o , in sup pressing the fillibustering echemes of the janta, and to rap the Union for denying their existence come time since. The Uxion attributes the alleged irritation of the Intelligencer in thelr controversy upon tho Cuban question, to the fact that it (the Unior) has exposed its adversary’s incon. sistency on it, and hists that Mr. Perry owes hig removal, at least in part, to the Intelligen- eer’s evident eagerness to uso him and to ad- vance his interests A Nov Pook. We have, through ‘he kind attention of Mr Frank Taylor, bookreiler, “A Manual of Ancient History.’’ from the rewotest times to the overthrow of the Western Empire, A. D. 476; by Dr. Leovard Schmiis, F k 8 E, with copious chronslogical tables. Philadel phis: publi-hed by Blanchard & Lea, 1855. ‘This bcok is concise and comprehensive in its style and scope, and is evidently the work of a philesophical commentator of fine historical acquiremenis. The aim of the suthor has been to sbed a3 much light as possible on the history of otber ancient nations besides the Greess, Romans, and Jews, coucerning whom #0 much bas been written, while the histories of otber ancient people, are almost a sealed book to the mass of the modern reading world. His work is well written, conveying much use ful and entertainiog information in a pithy and agreeable manner. and can hardly fail to become a standard book, for we hare rarely seen so much of value and rarity embraced in a volume of its size. As Erron Correctsp—A Maine man writes us correcting a telegraphic error in the Star, yesterday. ssyicg that the recent elec- tion in which the Maine Liquor Law isso over- whelmingly defeated took place in Maine. It should have been Michigar.

Aw Atvgcep Baitisa Recavrtine Orricer ARRESTED 15 Boston-—The Boston papers of Thursday, notice the arrest in that city on Wednesday of aGerman, whe had induced ten men tosccompany him from New York, under promise that they were to be employed as laborers, but who, on their arrival in Boe. ton, tated to them that they were wanted for the British army, and that if they would ship for Halifax they would receive $15 as boun ty money on their arrival at thaicity, and amen: thoreafter Sixor the men are de- tained «5 witvesses against Swarts, the recruit ing «ficer.

The Court’s D.cision —Our talented, amia- ble, entertaining. courteous, truthfal, (wide ite story about the Secretary of the Navy and Commod re Paulding.) and knowing neighbor, (vids the winnings of ics cote-ie on the Vir- ginia election) in its usual so commendable, modest way, yesterday undertook to “ brasen out’ its previous statement that the Circuit Court had given no decision in the Gruen case, insisting that its reporter's account in the Court’s action amounted to nothing what ever in law. Now we have prooured fr Mr. Fendall a cop; cf the decision as take down by bim as it was delivered and as u proved by the Court, to whom it wes reforr for verifeation It is in these words; “Points decided by the Corcurt Court o District of Columba, June 4, 1855, the patition of Tho nas J. Gruen, Se mandamus commanding the Regisiei of th« Corporalion to inscribe the petitioner's name on the tax lists and returns: “1 That a foreigner naturalised since |the 3ist Decomber last, who porsesses the other qusiifications required by the charter, is en- tied to vote at the present election. “2. That an alien who was @ resident of the City of Washington previous to the 3let December, 1854, was entitled to be enrolled on the echool tax list. “3. That the tax lists having pas:ed out of the hands of the Register, he has no duty in regard to them to perform ; that the tax lists are now io the hands of the Commissioners of Eleztion, whose right and duty it is to receive the votes of persons within the foregoing de scription, and having tae other qualifications required by the charter “The mandamus is refused ” The mandamus was refused, as explained by the Court in our report published om the day the case was @ecided, bocausegat that sage of the business the list had passed out of the hands of the register, against whom the mandamus was prayed Aa we remarked above, the judges examined and verified this paper, and it went immedi- ately to the clerk, with the understanding that copies to be sent to the different commis sioners of the election were to be made out and certified to. We hear that they were 80 made out and certifie!, but that the clerk failed to send them es the court intended. through the interference of an active leader in the Know Nothing lodges of the city, the clerk himself being a warm rympathiser with Know Nothing politics It is said that he eventually caused them to be destroyed. A copy Was subsequently certified to by one of the counsel in the case, 2nd was sent to one of the boards of election commissioners. Such, we believe to be the true history of the affair, differing not essentially, as it will be perceived, fromthe statement of it in yester- day’s Star. The decision as quoted 2bove covers all the points inissue It affirms the rfghts of these naturalized citizens whose bal'ots were re jected in the recent election. The defense for the fraud perpetrated in the refasal of toeir votes, is the allegation, that the commis sione.s, not the Cirouit Court for the District of Columbia, were the tribunal todecide what the rig te of the rejected persons were. These Know Nothing Commissioners were none ¢! thei men learned in the law. They were ali mem)ers of the same oath-bound, secret, pro- scriptive, political society, with the never ta be forgotten Lowell witnesses. Some of them as jadges of the election lact year had received withoat question, such votes az these Tej:eted ones. Onthe Saturday before this election hey met, by arrangement, at the City Hall, “to receive our (their) instructions,” as one of them exprossed bimse!f in enquiring for the room ia which the conclave were to have met. These instructions doubtiess came from the samesecret, widn ght-jlo:ting authority that planned tho rascality, frauds and forcible means through which the dgea obtained ii legal possession of the Washiogt&i Monument which were explained in fullin the Star net long since, over the sigaa’ures of the highly respected citizens who comprise the real board of management of the Monument’s affairs Now, a man with half an eye in his head who reads the above decision of our highest court of law, and then reflects on the many subterfages, outrages, violations of rights, dis toputable tricks, 2c, by which some seven bundred citisens of Washington were, on Mon day last, defrauded of their legx! privilege of voting, will perecive that they were all the result of a deep laid scheme to transfer the legal government of this city from the courts, on whom theconastitution and laws de vol ve it, to the Know Nothing lodges. In France, in the days of her first revolu tion, the nominal authorities of the land did in the day only what they were bid to do in the night by their Know Nothing lodges iv midnight conclave. Thos. biddings, as car ried out, drenched the kingdom in blood, and robbed every man with anything to lose, who failed to be an active partizan of the Know ‘Nothing lodges of that kingdom and era. Already in this city they have, by pre-ar- rangement, essayod to deprive some seven hundred citizens of their legal r ghts, under the pretence that not the judges of our law courts, but persons selected from amonget themselves, all of them bitter partisans, un. learned in the law and comperatively igno- rant, ere of right the final arbiters of the rights of the citisen here. The manner cf their asppointment—all cn one side—was ® gross outrage om common honesty and common decency, and, convinced those who have, im this community, any thing to lose by the destr.ction of our institutions, that it was purposed by the lodges to carry the election by frauds. Fellow citizens, has not the end completely justified the impression growing out of the means employed? A somewhat cimilar game was played re cently by the Know Nothing lodges of Lonis- ville, Ky., when their candidate for Mayor was fraudulently returned as having been elected The Court of law promptly inter- posed, and declaring bis anti-Know Nothing opponent legally entitled to the office, taught the lodges the lesson that the United States in 1855, is not France at the end of the last century. Following up these Washington examples, above referred to, Neal Dow, of Portland, the Know-Nothing -Maine-law king, notoriously seeking a monopoly of and speculation in rum himself, has caused the murder of unof- fending citisens, in their streets, by the mili tary. election, whoever he might be. The result will be that the Democratic anti-Know Noth- fogs will take Mr. Preston up by scclamation, and he will surely be elected He is one the ablest legislative statesmen of the age, and was in the late Congress universally acknowledged to be without a superior in that branch of the public service. He is a high- toned Whig and gentleman, and always com- and deep respect of he Tally.—Captain John H. Goddard, Soted throughout Monday last as the oballenger on the anti Know Nothing side at the Third Ward polls, avers that but 668 votes were re- ceived at the window, as shown by bis register, and that perhaps two more were possibly taken there. Hoe, at the time, marked down 314 person who voted the anti-Know Nothing ticket, The commissioners acknowledge the re- ceipt of 315 anti Know Nothing votes, and some 41 more on the Know Nothing side than were re- ceived at the window, according to the record kept by Capt.G. The rest came in at the convenient other place, referred to in our ar ticle of Wednesday last, for hurrying up the Know Nothing votes, while the window was to be shut on alarge number of anti-Know Nothing voters. Two anti Know Nothing votes were received at that other place, by the by— one, the vote of a @onnection of one of the conveniently slow receivers of the votes, and the other that of one of that gentle xan’s near neighbors, who happened to go to vote in com- pany with him. Fellow-citizens, such is the manner in which your most sacred rights are treated by election boards, deliberately con stituted to be all one-sided in obedience to the resolves of the Know Nothing lodges in your taidst, whose instruments the late Know Noth- iog Councils were, rather than your legal cffi- cers, ag they woyld have been but for their obligations to the society of the Lowell wit ness. The Know Nothing National Convention.— ‘4 few facts h-ve already become prominent in the doings of this body nowin session in Philadelphia. First. That General Wilson, of Massachu- setts, instead of being kicked out of the con- elave, neck and heels, as was promised before the Virginia election by our talented, courte- eus, amiable, entertaining, ingenuous, truth- ful and knowing neighbor, is actually its ruling spirit, its lion, and the supreme director of its action, chief among its chief, and most beloved of all its treasured ones. He, it is, who is dictating its policy. Seoond. That Mr. Kenneth Rayner. of North Carolina, seems to be Gen. Wilson’s bottle- holder, ssconder of his motions, and their chief southern advocate. Mr. R. emphatically en- dorses Gen. Wilaon’s proposition that Know Nothingism shall insoribe on its banner a re- peal of the Nebraska bill, which is the ultimatum of Northern Know Nothivgism Third. That the Catholic delegates from Louisiana, though of course disavowing any temporal allegiance to the Pope on their oaths, have been unceremoniously kicked out of the convention because they are Catholics ; and Fourth That thore are on hand any quan- tity of Know Nothing quarter nage for the Presidency—broken-down politicians, pecu- niary speculators in the legislation of Cong reas, State Legislatures, £0. California Land Districts —To those who are seekinz settlements in California, it may be interesting to know that the State has been divided about equally into turee land dis- tricts—the Northern, with the offise at Marys- ville, on Feather river, convenient to the set- tled portions of the district, and in the midst of the first discovered gold region; the Mid dle district, which embraces the city ana bay of San Francieco and the valley of the San Joaquin river, the office for which is situated at Benicia, between the bays of Susan and San Pablo; ard the Southern, extending from near the outletof Tulares lake to the southern boundary ef the State, with the office losated at Los Angelos, a shcrt distance from the eea- coast of bay of San Pedro. It is soarcely ne- cessary to mention, that, from the accounts which have reached us gold and other valu- able micerals have been discovered in cach of the above-mentioned districts. Alexandr H. Stephens, of Georgia—ie on the stump against Know Nothingism, and is out for Cong esson thatissue. He grapples with it after the fashion of Henry A. Wise, having, through his never-to-be-forgotten lete ter and a single speech demolished it in his district, 60 that the Koow Nothings deoline runping any one against him, though they felt as certain of electing their man before he broke ground agains: them, as our talented, modest, courteous, entertaining, ingenuous, truthful, and knowing neighbor felt of the election of Flournoy—as certain of it as of his owu existence. A New Cutter.—The Treasury Department nas recently purchased a fine clipper-built Baltimore pilot boat, of 90 tons, to be used as @ guard ship to enferce the quarantine regula. tions in the port of Charleston, South Caro- line. She is to be called the William Aiken, and will promptly be put in commission. The Connecticut lection —Municipal elec- tions are being held in Connecticut.

The Third Ward —The convenient judges of the election in the Third Ward took 712 votes on Monday last, leaving fr.m one hundred to one hundred and fifty Anti Know Nothings outside of the windowgwhen they closed it The Hon. William Preston, of Kentucky.— This gentleman declined the anti: Know Noth- ing nomination for Congress in his district re cently, on the ground thet the mass of the Democratic party there having refused to go inte the oath-bound sesret proseriptive politi- cal organization, it was due to them to permit them to select one of their own number as the candidate of the anti-Know MNothings, promte- Hing st the same time to Labor earnestly for his reovived at the poll of that ward last year; while the Commissioners of the Mleotion for the Fourth Ward received on thisoceasion 1044 will understand how It happened that these = oonvenient commissi votes!
