Barringer, of North Carolina, to produce any thing worthy of being dignified with the name of truth, to substan- tiate his alleged declaration that the Pope's Nuncio in Madrid told him (Gen. B.) before the presidential election, that it was urrsnged }etween the Catholic hicrarchy in this country and Gen. Pierce, to appoint the present incum- bent, the Hon. James Campbell, of Pa., Post- master General. The editor. in the course of Bis remarks says: “If, however, Mr. Barringer shall presume to enter upon the very delicate and by no means enviable task of attempting to report a conversation between himself and the Nuncig. which pired more than two years since, for the purpose of proving the truth of that portion of the calumny which has, as it now pears, been circulated by his sanction, we hope he will be explicit and distinct in respect te the date of the conversation, the cireum- Btances under which it was introduced, the pame of the Nuncie with whom it was holden, the language tn which tt was carried on, the words used, and the names ¢f the persons pres- ent, if any, beside himself and the ambassador of the Pope. It is not too much to ask dition, of B., that an authentic cromué of this bugbear ‘eonver- gation’ Las been withheld for so iong a time, nd why it was found convenient to herald it to the world i a form, at a iime when it was im ble to refute and deny the correctness of the inverences drawn therefrom before the day of the North Carolina election.” He also feels sure that if the name of the Hon. James Campbell was ever mentioned in Madrid in connection with the Postmaster Generalship before his actual appointment, it wasonly after the Washington letter writers hed connected it with the position, which it will be remembered they did immediately after Mr. Buchanan and his friends begun to take interest openly in securing for him the The Union, in the course of t attention tothe fact that while Gen. Seott was courting the ‘‘rich Irish brogue,’’ and the “‘sweet German accent,’’ Pierce was being abused soundly for the exi-tence of the +‘ Cath- olic disabilities’ clause of the New Hampshire State Constitution, for which be was held re- sponsible by many of the very men who ut this time undertake to vary their mode of electioneering against him: accusing him of bargaining with the Hierarchy ix the United Btates, to s2Il us all—body and breeches—to the Pope. By the bye, there is much indeed in the Union's desire to know in what language Bar- ringer couveised with the Pope's Nuncic, in Madrid. Barringer speaks the English lan- guage only, and the chances are twenty to one that whoever the Nuncio was. if he spoke half a@ dozen languages or more, English was not ene of them. There is a whopper cut among them, and the onus of disproving that it lies at Ais door, certainly rests on Barringer. The Intelligencer contains a long synopsis of the reports on the surveys of the different Pacific railroad routes explored not long since for the government. They were 8 in all. No. 1 by Gov. Stevens: No. 2 by Capt. Fremont; No. 3 by Capt bury and Lieut. Beck- with; No. 4 by J. M. Gunnisson; No. 6 by Lient. Whipple; No. 7 by Major Emory Lieuts. Williaus, Parke. and Capt. Pepe; No. & by Major Emory. No. 7, from Fulton, Ark., to San Franeise», is the one most approved by the Secretary of War. It is 2534 miles} ng. Of the scheme, the Lvtellizencer : “ Considered in @ national point of view, in which ouly we consider it our duty to look it, the mst important question to be decided is the building 4 road ou any of the routes. If the work is to be a national one, to be paid for out of the Treasury of the United States, the y a momeul’s consideration. Every route becon Practiceble when the ineans to make itsuarealequate.

The Frauds in the Late Washington Mu- nicipal Election —We find the following let- ter in the Organ of the day before yesterday : To the Editor of the American O: im: Sir: The report is iy prevslent in the community I was to be indicted by the [bopaist Saaieginedar | for a violation of w in reference to permitting a voter, and that voter my son, to cast a ballot at the election in June. Said voter was born in this city up- wards of twenty-one years before said election; had scarcely ever been out of said city, resided in the ward in which he offered to vote, was registered by the assessor, and had paid his school tax; and was a free white male citizen of the United States, was neither a vagrant ner non compos mentis, or had been conrict- ed of an infamous crime, and, I might add, never bore name of a rowdy. In accordance with the rumor, pn Friday last 1 was arraigned as foreshadowed. [ havo. in my capacity as a justice of the peace, made many &rrests, and assisted in arresting persons, when sticks, stones, pistols, guns and knives have been brought in requisition, but never be- fore had I any fear; this time I adimit that L guailed before my adversary. In the other cases, knowing my men, I boldly met them : but here was a sneaking cowardly ruffian crouching behind the grand jury, sending a strip of paper, with the name of the witnesses, thus endeavoring to stab my reputation in the dark, and send forth to the world that I was indictasd for frauds at the election; but, thanks to justice and right, I came off ansenthed, not- withstanding the feeling of a portion of the witnest€s arraigaed against me. As I am en- deavering to ferret out the man who moved in this matter, in which I have hopes of succeed- ing. I will at present defer any other remarks, but shell et some future time come before the public with a full statement of al! the matters connected with my acts as commissioner of cloc- tien, the result of which I fear not Tuoxas C. Doxn. The writer of this letter has long held his present office of justice of the peace in this com- mmnity, and has before acted as one of the comnnissioners of cur municipal elections. It will therefore be evidens to all that he must have known the qualification with reference to age necessary to make one offering his bal- lot a legul voter here. That qualification, in the plain letter of the law, is, that he must have been twenty-one years of age on the Sist of December next preceding the election. There is no question whatever as to this requirement, no one having ever disputed it legally, and it having been »fiirmed time and again by all le- gal authorities. It will be perceived that the writer of this letter avoids the true issue, and talks about his son's haviag been “born in this city up- wards of twenty-one years before gail elec- tion"? Those fam: © with the plain require- ments of the char in this matter, will understand ata glance that thus to attempt to change the true issue, is to essay to deceive the public, ty whose sympathy the appeal is made. We are curious to know who had the youth in question fraudulently returned to the assessor as eligible to be on his poll lst. His name never would have been found aherc, as a matter of course, but through’ a misrepresen- tation of his age, which (his age) the father must have known w To believe that the father did not know that the fact t'aat he had beea so returned on the poll book did not make him @ lezel voter in Washington if not twenty- one years of age on the “1st of December next preceding the clection, will be to believe him, under the circumstanecs of his connection with the Administration of the law here and of his previous service as a commissioner of elections, utterly zon compos mentes. We congratulate him om the adjournment of the grand jury Jeforc, rather than after the ap- pearance of his letter printed above; other- wise, the effort to indict him of which he speaks so indignantly, might have resulted ve- ry differently indeed. Whoever the person may be who called the attention of the grand jury to the case in point, after the uppearance of this singularly impotent effort to justify his reception of his son’: vote under such circum- stances, that person can hardly fail to receive the thanks of the most of those in this commu- nity whose good opinion is worth having, how- ever much Mr. Thos. C. Doun may be enraged against him. The letter itself tells the tale of the manner in which the Know Nothings car- ried the recent election here, in terme practi- cally quite as strong as any we have felt itour duty to use since the fourth of June, ultimo. It is to be hoped that rnore of the Know No- thing commissioncrs of the late election will make a cleaa breast of it, after the same fash- fon. The Fever at Portsmouth, Va.—since the Star went to press yesterday, we have ascer- tained that there need be no dread of the pread of the yellow fever now existing at Portsmouth, Va., beyond the limits of the per- tion of the (Gosport) wand of the tewn in which it prevails. The cause of the dise peller Ben Frankliu—was promptly t quarantine as soon as it was discovered that she continued to be infected, and the streets or street wherein those attacked were, were at once so blockaded as to prevent ali not ah- solutely necessary communication from with- out. Some half dozen persons have died with the disease, all of them being of the very poorest and most exposed class, residing, lind- died together in filth, in immediate proximity with the ship when it imported the infection. In such a season as the present there is no fear of the spread of the yellow fever on shore around Norfolk, “here the phys sanitory boarts have much experience in its wwanagement Our Labors Telling.—We present the read- ers of the Star with two letters that reached us yesterday.
