The Union holds up to popular reprehen- sion the alleged Know-Nothing doctrine, that Government, Constitution, and all, must perish, that stands in the way of the triumph of its views of progress. Still continuing its diseus sion of the Perry case with the Jutelligencer, the Union says: “We were not £0 far wrong, however, in the supposition that it was the removal of their friena Perry. and not the expocure of their tergiversations, which disturbed the placidity of our neighbors. When they come to speak on this matter, they become “ serious,”” and f ankly admit that they see in Mr. Perry's “recall at this particular time”’ cause for ‘‘re- gret.”’ Our mistake, then, was in supposing they were erritated, whereas they were only sorry. We acknowledge the e-ror, and have only to regret that we cannot sympethize with them in their distress. They admit that Mr. Perry was guilty of an “indiscretion” in ad- dreasion bis letter through their paper to the President; but they think this smail official indecorum ought to have been overiocked in consideration of the great public services which Mr Perry had rendered in Spaia As we are unable to appreciate those services like our neighbors, we cannct see in them any reason for overlooking the ‘indisoretion,’ wich they enabled Bir. Perry to consummate through their colamas We think their sor- sow, therefore, ia legitimate, both bocauss Mc. Porry was so indisereet a8 to write such a letter, and because his friends of the Intelli- geneer were co unfortu as to yield to his Tequest to give it publicity, and thereby to conser is ‘indiscretion.” That we may give them all the comfort in our power, how ever, we wiil aid thet there was no connexion between the ae of Bir. Soule’s last Jetter and Mr. Perry's recall. The recall of Mr. Perry was a fixed fact as s00n a3 his let- ter appesred in the Naticnal Intelligencer, end nt announcement was only delayed until his successor could be selected.” The Intelézgencer's New York correspond- ent says: “The prosesutore in the Kinney affsir are completely aonplussed. he Colonel tas dis- appeared, and all efforis to discover bis whero- abouts have thus far failed. Ind-ed, itis ag- serted thet be left the city two days azo in a vessel for Centra! Americas, and that the men forming tho association of which he is the head have been quietly shipped for their Ei- dorado by cizcuitous routes during the past tortnight; so that the Government biockads of the stenmshi; ted States has been entire- ly objectles: and having, I preeume, arrived at that eone! the aathorities last evening withdrew the verseis that had termed the cor- don arecnd the suspected eteamer.’’ It strikes us, from what we hear, that Col Kinney and his co adventurers wiil not be more successful in departing from any other port in the United States than from New York. Ii they have silently slipped away from New York to rendezvous at some other point to de- part for Centrel America, it is probably from a point in Ficrida. cl which two suspicioug but well-watchod vossela have been lying for rome time. We feel assured thet they will not be permitted to weizh anchor unless rega- larly and satisfactorily Cleared from the port off which they were at last advices. But even if they get cf from someother point of the territory of this Governaent, they will be duly taken care of on the Central American const, unless (whic’ ili:y) the papers of ihsir vessel or vessels are in all respects satiefactory. Tbe way of the transgroszor is herd, and the chances are twenty to one that his schemes {ail of suceess in the long run. 2 A Novar Freiget —The ship Sunny South (sayethe San Francisco Herald of th sh ult ) cleared yesterday for China, having on board the dead bodies of seventy Chinamen It appears that there is a company of China- men in this city doing quite an extensive busi- ness in disinterring and shipping tho dead bodies of thoir countrymen to the order of the relatives of the deceased in Oltins The cost of the operation is about fifty dollars—a sum willingly expended by the wealthier class of Chineze, who consider it a daty, a3 well as a privilege, to pay tribute of respect to the re mains of deceased relatives. A Lucky Max—Kuypsgss Kemewnurey — When Mr. Albert Morgan kept the Pavillion, at Gloucester, severa! years ago, one ef hig guests © n Englishman, name Erskine lie was attacked with the small pox, and, while all other stiendanta deserted him, Mr Morgan ministered faithfully to his wants till he recovered. A day or two ago, we learn, the British Cvuceel comtaunieated to Mr. Mor- gn the intelligence that Mr. Erskine had de- censed, and ieit him by will the sum of $125,- 4009.

WASIINGTON REWS AND GOSSIP, The Tally.—The convenient eiection cow- Mistioners of the Third Ward, smarting under the pressure of public sentiment with refer- ence to their share of the means by which the Know Nothiog candidates were enabled to obtain the certificates of election as the (bogus) result of our late municipal contest, resort to the columns of our talented, courteous, ami- able, modest, entertsining truthfal, and knowing neighbor, in which to essay to break the force of that public opinion, se far as they areconoerned. They seek to get up an issue of veracity with us. Wedo not intend that they shall escape the consequences of their complicity with the circumstances of the re- cent election, on the Know Nothing side, by thus aiding them to lead the public off from the true issues involved in our eecount of Captain Goddard’s tally. They got come one to say in another of our talented, modest, amiable, truthfal, entertaining, and knowing neighbor’s columns, that he (Captain Goddard) denies the coreectness of our state ment with reforence to himself on Saturday last. Now, we have to say that ho author izes us to declare that he told these conve- nient commissioners no such thing ag they say he did, through this agentof theirs. He told them that he had been careful to note down every vote polled at the window in the Third Ward, and that he found that according to his tally, 688 votes had been received there, with, perhaps, two more that had eseaped his ob- servation, and only two more. This reiteration to them ofhis declaration to us was not repeat- ed honestly and fairly to their paragraphiet. As for the discrepancy between his tally and their recollection, as all the parties to the con. troversy are well known in Washington, we need make no comments uponit, leaving their fellow-citizens who know them—John H. God- dard on the one sido, and Wm. C. Zantzinger, et al., on the other—to judge as to the amount of credence to be given to their contrary ac counts of the manner of conducting the elco- tion at the Third Ward polls They essay to make ancther point with us— that is, with reference to the number of anti- Know Nothing voters waiting to deposit their ballots when they closed the window, nomin- ally at 7 p. m, but really before that hour, as will be proved before the Circuit Court. Their allegation, that there were “ by actual count” but 35 in all who had not deposited their votes when (hey closed the window, as evsayed to be substantiated, remiuds us of the thief’s effort to rebut the testimony of the witness who swore that he saw his thiefsbip steal the shoe), by producing 2 witness on his side who swore that Ae did not see him steal the animal! the count cf come “ brother,’’ as convenient for the purposes of the lodges in the late cleo tion, as the Know Nothing commissioners were, there were but 35 voters waiting to deposit their ballots. Really, the eyes of this counter (in the face of the fact (nat from three to &ve hun” dred citizens of Washington know of thair own knowledge that there were from 109 to 150 anti-Know Nothing: depri.ed of their Tight to vote at the Third Ward polis (by closing the window before they reached ii) were as sadly at fault, a3 wore the ears of the Know Nothiog commissioners at all the polls; for it will be recollected that everybody in Washington but themselves heard of the de- cision rendered in the (irouen case, within an hour after the court rendered it. By Ali the mock indignation of the Third Ward convexient election commissioners against the editor of the Star, for the menner in which be has discharged his duty with reference to tho shameleas, premeditated nnd disgracefu’ frauds perpetrated in this election, wi!! not suffice to divert public attention, from the facts that when they shut down the window in the face of a large number of anti-Know Nothirg: voters, they had received but 712 votes in ali egainst 824 taken at the same ward polis ai the last election, and against 1,044 taken at the Fourth Ward polls on this occasion. talented, courteous, amiable, modest, enter- tainicg, truthful, and knowing neighbor, (wide the Virginia election) unfortunately, for the success of the mock heroics of these conve- nient commissioners, let the cat cut of the beg in declaring, shortly afzer meridian, on the day of the election, that all the votes could (would) not be got in. cipated that the vote received at the Third Ward polls, would havo been so much less thar at the last previous election, it would not have thus bleated out in advanoo, of the man- nerin which these convenient commizsionera designed doing their share of the work carved oat by the lodges. Our Perhaps if it had anti- iuteresting Telegraphic Statistics —Our little sister Republic of Switzerland, it ap- pears, according to statistios, has greater facil- ities for telegraphic communications than any othereountry. Switzerland has atelegraphie station to every 20,000 of her inhabitants England has one to every 56,000. every 70000. Belgium to every United States to every 240,000. France to ev- ery 290,000. Pruszia to every 320,000. Sardisia to 130,000 California.—Late arrivals from our far wost render it certain that the era of the true pros- perity of California is already dawning. That is, they tell of the improvement of the habits and character of the mining population of the State, and of the very generally euccersful application of machinery to get out the gold, greatly reducing the cost and !nbor of that operation in proportion to the quantity real. ized. the system of doing commercial busiaoss throughout the Stylo, growing out of the late failures of the banking houses and swindling and extravagant speculators of ail degrees. The temporary disasters brougut upon the people of Mississippi by the troubles of the era of the Brandon bank explosion, have proved aa people of that State, who aro, at this time, With very few exceptions, indeed, es free from pecuniary embarrasements, through tho lesson thus taught them, as apy other population of the same number in the world Plenty, contentment and moderation are row the ruling characteristics of the fahabitants of Mississippi, as strange az it may seem to taose who only know them through recollec- tions of newspaper sccounts of them during the era of Brandon bankism. ihey tell also cf a great revolution in inestimable blessing to the The people of California heve just under- gone much euch another involuntary purging, freeing them from the evil effects of the busi- bess habits cf the worst set of unprincipled speculators who have infested any portion of our country since the days of Mississippi above referred to. Three-fourtts of the chipments of morchandise from the Attlat tic coast to Cali- forais up to very recently, proved almost dead lozaes, while the accumulators of the profits of the labor oj the mass of tae minexs wore the keepers of gambli ig houses and doggeries of all degrees. The change has come, however, over Cali- forvia’s affairs, and the result will not only be larger and steadier shipments of specie to this side, but fair payments for what California obtains from the Atlantic side, and a more uniform diffusion of property and wealth among her own people, wi.h better health and longer lives for them. The era of the true prosperity of California is, indeed, but just dawning. “* Consistency, thou art a Jewel!’—We have not until to-day had space at command in which to call the attention of the Star’s readers, to the correspondence appearing some days ago in the columns of our talented, amis- ble, courteous, ingonuous, entertaining, know- ing, and truthful neighbor, (vide its cock and bull story about the Secretary of the Navy and Commodore Paulding,) between Mr. John Minor Botts on one side, and a worthy decapi- tated watchman in the Treasury building, the estimable scavenger of the First Ward of this city, and some other distinguished geatleman enjoying the honor of serving on a Know Noth- ing invitation committee with those patriotic k n. leaders, wherein the man that slept with John Tyler is invited to try the effect of his elc- quence on our late municipal olection; and wherein that so successful politician declines, with a very modest hint that Know-Nothing- iem may fairly attribute the loss of the Vir- ginia election to its foolish nomination of Flournoy as the competitor of the great and forcible Wise, rather than himself. There is nothing more note-worthy in the corres- pondence in question, itself—which is Bottsall ovor. The point to be noticed, however, is the alacrity with which Washington Know Noth- ingism estrew to tho winds its indignation against the interference of foreigners in our municipal politics, alleged as its excuse for the outrages against common decency, good order and the right of free speech in our land, beforo Browns’ hotel on the Saturday night following the Virginia election. That is, when it seemed likely that the interfereuce of for- eigners in our municipal politics could be turned to the advantage of Know Nothingism. Verily, there is even less moral honesty—ia- tegrity of parpore—ia the oath-bound, secret, prostriptive, political society, than we gaveit credit for—which was a very small modicum indeed, as our readers by this time are all aware. The Two-Horse Act. —A no lees distinguish- ed personage than tho veritablo conductor of our talented, truthful, modest. ingenuons, en- tortaining, and knowing neighbor (vide the Virginia election) is positively the author of the acheme of making Know Nothingism seem to ride the Northern anti-slavery and Sonth- ern slavery horses at the game time! At loaet such is the so commendably modest deolara- tion of our bashfal neighbor itsoif This scheme is to pass resolutions in the P hiladel- phia Sanhedrim— 1. Protesting against tho evactmant of the Nobracka-Kansas bill under the form of a pro- test against the repeal of the Missouri com- premise; 3. ¢., posturing at full speed to tickle the fancy of the No. th! 2. Pledgizg Know Nothingism to oppose apy action by the General Government do signed to disturb the adrantage in Kansas which the North says the South has achieved by tho enactment of the Nebraska-Kanas bill; 7. ¢ , posturing at full speed to tickle the fancy of the South! ! 3.

This és essentially a funny world we live in. Who They Are.—Dr. Bartlet, tho new Pre- sident of the Know Nothing National Council, is a full-blooded Kentucky abolitionist, it is said, while Parson Ruff, their newly elected Grand Chaplain of the order, is a full-blooded “unjust, unrighteous, and damnable” Massie ebusetts preacher of abolitionism end uriver- salism—a lending one of the three thousand clerical signers of the anti-Nebraska Kansas bill excommunication against Senator Douglas, tho supporters of the bill in Congress, the President, and the South. Up to this time he has only beenknown from the vehemence of the abolition politics in his aermone, go ultra, indeed, as that throughout New England he pasied for the best possible model of an ab- olition pulpit slang-whanger. Headed Again —Jus: before going to presa, We ascertained that a dispatch was recvived in this city, this morning, announcing that the revenue cuiter on the Mobile station had brought into the yort of Mobile the Kinney expedition barque referred to in another col- umn of to-day’s Star, as laying off the coast ot Florida awaiting her live freight. She is said to be loaded with boxes of army ammz- nition. We have every reason to believe that the District Attorney at Mobile was, this morning, telegraphed to libel her. So, it seems that our anticipation that the Govern- ment would surely prove competent to man- age the now phases of the Kinney expedition, was actually realized so soon. A Less —The War Department ressived p dispatch this morning, announcing the sinking of a steamer (the Australia) on the Missouri , loaded with a cargo of Quartermagter’s stores, ordnance and subsistence stores, in- tendod for the supply of the Sioux expedition. We presume thatit will be some days before the extent of the loss to the Government from this disaster can be known here. Orders have already gone by telegraph to replace the loss instantly.

MELANcHoLy Arrain—Iwo Lives Lost— On a Suicid“.—The Hoboken ferryboat New- ark, was the scene of ro little exeitement last evening, in consequence of an unknown man committing suicide by jumping overboard. Nor sooner waa the alarm given, than the en- gine was reversed, and the boat lowered, two of the deck hands getting into it, with a view, if possible, to gave the life of theman. Un fortunately, however, there was at the time a heavy swell in the rivor, witha strong tide, and the boat was swamrod, just after she was let down. One of the hands, sad to relate, was drowned ; the other being a good swim- mer, W-8 eaved. The body of the suicide was recovered and taken to the office of Jua- tice Crane, at Hoboken. Ho ia said to be a German, and to have a family in Brooklyn. The name of the dock hand who thus lost hia life in the noble endeavor to save a worthless man that had been thrown away, was “ Char- ley.”” He was not one of the regular hands on the ferry boat.

From all that we could learn, this wonderfalexeitement was caused by the attempt ofs husband to have hig wife arrested. having found herin a ¢ riage with another man. ‘The officer protest- ed that this would be transcending hie power, and that he couid not ariest her on such a charge.
