The Union, commenting on the Louisville riots as illustrative of the effect of Know No- thingism on the country says: = * * ‘Weare now speaking of where the awful responsibility of the lastconsequence of Know Nothing doctrines should be fixed. It is quite unnecessary to inquire for the im- mediate cause of the murderings and mobbings im the city of Louisville. Those who have studied the fell anatomy of the secret con- spiracy which disgraces the American name, as it insuits American maahood and ribes American rights—those who have heard its leaders, like infuriated demons, ‘“ ragerecn. on the riotuus ard reckless in their assaults upon uvoffending men becaase of their nativi- ty or their religion—those who huve seen its public premiums offered for persry: and its exposed terrors held over the heads of ail who would rot accept these premiums—these who have watched its prostitution of the press and the putpit—its cold-blcoded negltct of the duties of public gratitude to the public bene- factors—its remorseless proscription even of helpless women to gratify the vulgar preju- dices of ignorant men—its wanton invention and wide dissemination of falsehcods upon eminent public servants—and, finally, its de- liberated and fore-planned attempts wo pollute the ballot, and to build up “a wail of fire’ between the North and the South, in which all the guarantees of the constitution, and all the affections of a common brotherhood, should be destroyed ;—we say, those who have stood by, the reluctant and the sorrowing witnesses of these scenes, will not be astonished that the end should be as tragical and as bloody as ithas been. The manner im which the seed Was sown was enough to prepare the country for the terrible harvest. ** These results, then, were to have been ex- pected; and, mournful as they are, they do not excile our surprise. They were foresbad- owed whea the secret order began its warch of proseription and of perjury. More or less, the accompaniments of that order, in its firet sud- den advance to power, were riot and violence. dts subsequent fruits have ali deen similar. it bas premized us blessings—it bas given us curses. In place of reform we have had op- pression. Instead of peace we have had tu- mult. Instead of a bolder, and broader, and more liberal American tone, as guarantied by the authors of this monstrous fraud upon pub- lic opinion, we have seen a system adopted and adhered to which rejoices im secre.» and in silence, and fivurishes only by deception and falsehood. Ever since this organization has existed such scenes as that at Louisville have beer of frequent occurrence. The tragedy in that city involves more logs of life than any which has preceded it, but it is a fitting sequel of those that transpired in Cincinnati and in Colambus, and will doubtless be a fitting precedent for more enlarged operations of a similar character wherever such ‘ Americans rule America’ a3 George D. Prentice, Garrett Davis, Charles 5S. Morchead. and their col- leagues. The practical consequences of Know Nothingism speak a more eloquent language than the false-hearted professions of such leaders aa these. All they have effrcted is of the same Character. They can port to no tro- phy toshow that religion bas been advantaged, xciety improved, politics purified, public sta- tion elevated by the election of more eminent men, or the constitution strengthened by the efforts of their confederates. Tecy can only point, as the monuments of their progress, to ballot-boxes polluted, Christian men and wo- men proscribed, abolition fortified in the Borth, State rights weakened in the South ; and, finally, to the victims that have fallen amid the glare of burning dwellings as so Many sacrifices to the spirit that ‘ Americans zaust rule America.’ ’’ The Intelligeucer of this morning contains little editorial, being devoted te historical semixiscences, news, literature and science. — PERSONAL. +++ The Hon.

At all events var e3e Hs like him is discharging, at — his high Executive fumetions at tie White House. ----The New York Express, in announcing the recent appointment of Townsend Harris, ., of New York, as United States Consul General in Japan, says that he is remembered with respect as one of the founders of the Free Academy ; has recently been engaged in busi- ness in the Pacific, and will proceed as carly as possible to fulfil the duties of this important mission The Express adds: ‘A better ap- pointment could not baye been made, and it will be ene of the most popular acts of the resent Administration, gnd redounds greatly ev its credit.” ported in this city for 2 month before the Ken- tucky election, that the Know Nothings of Louisviile designed preventing the naturalized citizens from voting by the interference of a large and well-organized band of ruffiaus charged with the work of driving them from the polls, even at the risk of committing mur- ders if resistance was offered to their violence. So the accounts that reached us on the day before yesterday of the occurrences in Louis- ville on the day before, were by no means unexpected, even as far as the Know Nothing partizan coloring of the despatches was con- corned; as the telegraphie agent or correspond- ent in that city has, since the organization of the party of falsehood, fraud, and universal proscription, been in the habit of stating his facts so as to palliate any and all evil deeds done by those who secretly conspire, in the darkness of night, against the truth, law, jus- WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. The Louisville Riots.—It was currently re- tice, and the rights of those whom they hate and fear, because they will not join in their crusade against the well-being of society. As it maybe some days ere we receive full and reliable accounts (by the mail) of the details of the bloody work in Louisville, we have t» say that sufficient was known here be- fore-hand of the intentions of the Know Nothings to obtain the returns by violence and, at all hazards, in that city, to enable us to state the case as it will prove to have hap- pened, almost beyond peradventure. First; drunken and characterless Know Nothing rowdies were set on to molest individual for- eign-born citizens, at the polls and elsewhere, who resisted and defended their rights. Then other Know Nothings went to the aid of their catspaws for the voecasion, who were getting the worst of the contest, which soon became one of bludgeons and stones, first on the part of the assailants, who, rallying in great foree, drove the Germans and Irish to their homes, and then attacked them in their houses cover- ing their wives and children. The Germans and Irish pressed by the Know Nothings, and in imminent danger of being massacred with their families, finally defended their lives with fire-arms, wounding some of their assail- ants; when the latter set fire to the houses they were attacking and murdered such of those fleeing from the falling timbers and the fire over their heads, as they could lay hands on, burning to death such of them, women and children included, as were too feeble to make their eseape. As for the part which the foreign-born citizens played in this bloody af- fair, it will turn out that they promptly de- fended, first their rights and then their lives, when the latter were sought. Ithas always happened when the rights and honor of the United States have been assailed by a foreign foe, that the foreign-born in the United States have spilled their bloodém our country’s defence, like true-hearted American citizens devoted to the maintenance of their adopted country’s rights and honor. The rolls of the various regiments so engaged in every one of our wars, from that of the Revolution to the present day, prove that they thus serve the country, in numbers far beyond the legiti- mate proportion, when their numbers here as compared with the aggregate of our whole population is concerned. The following telegraphic dispatch to the as- sociated press, written by the Know Nothing partizan who wrote those published in the “tar of yesterday and the day befere, puts a somewhat different face on the affair; asit says thet the origin of the riot—that is, who com- meneed it—is in doubt; and next, that no Americans were killed, and but three were wounded, while from fifteen to twenty foreign- born persons were shot, hung, and burned to death. Thus, the truth concerning the affair is gradually becoming known in this region, so far, through the corrections and admissions of the Know Nothing telegraphic agent himself, doubtiess under a pressure of public opinion around him: Lovisvitie, Aug. 7.—The origin of the riot yesterday it is dificult to arrive at with i- tive certainty, but the generally-credited ver- sion is that two gentlemen riding in a carriage in the First Ward. were fired at from a house which was occupied by foreigners. One of the gentlemen was wounded, 2nd the firing being repeated, caused a crowd to flock thither. Among them was Edward Williams, watchman of the Second Ward, Joseph Silvage, and John Latta, ali three of whom were wounded by shots fired from the houses. Exaggerated re- ports of these occurrences reached the lower part of the city, and the crowd continued to inerease rapidly. The house from which the firing proceeded was attacked, and two Ger- mans shot and so dreadfully beaten that they are not expected to survive. This house was completely sacked, and the mob proceeded to the houses at the corner of Shelby and Madison streets, from whence it was reported that shots had also been fired. ‘Two groceries and beer houses were riddled, Paarlege Germans found therein severely in- jared. Another seene of riot occurred in Jefferson sireet, where a party of gentlemen coming into the city were fired at from a large brewery. 1t is not known what provocation was given. The brewery and adjoining houses were sacked, and the brewery set on fire and immediately destroyed. Several Germans found here were badly beaten, and an Irishman, who was shot by the mob, died this morning. On the next street below an American was slightly wounded by « pistol shot, and an Lrish- man was shot and beaten. It is asserted that shots had been fired from all the houses that were alt.cked. The mob threatencd to sack the Catholic church, where it was rumored arms had been concealed, but Mayor Barbee and others pre- vailed upon the crowd to leave, without com- mitting vivleace. : The mob then marched to the engine house in the Fifth ward with their cannon, and the rest having dispersed, all the difficulty was supposed to be over. This, unfortunately, proved to be a mere lull in the storm. While the above had transpired in the up- per partof the city, other cecurrences were going on in the lower part. On Main street two Americans were wounded by shots fired from @ house occupied by Lrish, for which it is said there was ro provocation. An Irish- man who was charged with shooting a Mr. Khodes, was immediately hung in the street, but cut down beture he was dead. In this af- fair thirty or forty shots were fired, and it is impossible to ascertain the number killed and wounded. A row of houses occupied by Irish, the own- er of which it was asseried had fired upon the mob, was set on fire and totally destroyed. Mr. Quinn, the owner, wus killed, and 3 or 10 rsous aye said to have perished in the flames. The number of lives lost is estimated at from 15 to 20. Bishop Spalding publishes a card disclaim- ing any connection with the difficulties, and calling upon his flock to assist in maintaining the peace of the city. The city i: now quiet, and it is thought there will . further disturbances. The fighting Was adistance from the polls, and did not interfere with the election. The coffee- houses have been closed, and the number of drunken men about the streets are few in number. The keys of the cathedral have been placed in the hands of the Mayor by Bishop Spatding- Lovisvitie, Aug. 8.—The Journal states that the violence of Monday night and yester- day was altogether disconnected from the elec- tion, and was premeditated. The editor pro- feszes to b> informed that the Irish Catholies in the vicinity of Junius’ house contemplated a attack’ on the American procession of Satur- day, but were deterred by the immense num- pe Bn it. Some of tho Irish, says the Journa!, admit uestional scaled ly the first act of violence pro- from forei 72ers. As for his declaration in the last of the above dispatches, that ‘unquestionably the first act of violence proceeded from the foreigners,” though in flat contradiction to the mass of his details and forced admissions in the first one, it is in fair keeping with his so self-evident purpose of misrepresentation to sereen the guilty parties in this deplorable affair. The following, from the Louisville Democrat, (anti-Know Nothing,) of the 4th inst.—two days before the election—shows not only the efforts of the anti-Know Nothings of Louisville’ to prevent collision and bloodshed, but that their opponents made their arrangements to sarry the election by fraud, (asin this city.) oacked by bloodshed, if that was necessary to accomplish their purpose : “Our readers will remember that acommittce of two from each ward inthis city was Bppvink: ed a few days since by the anti-Kuow Nothingr, toconfer with the executive authorities of the Know Nothing Councils in reference to the adoption of measures to protect the right of suffrage from apprehended interruption by thc mob-spirit which has prevailed for months past. It was believed that the appointment of a suit- able number of citizens from each party, whose social position would command universal re spect and confidence, would exercise a moral influence on persons disposed to be disorderly more potent than any other means that could be-adopted, and give satisfaction to all. We have understood from gentlemen from New Orleans that such a plan was adopted there with the happiest results in restraining the riotous and disorderly portion of pelts tion. Itis understood that the Know Nothings have declined any conference on the subject. We much regret to hear it, because we have uo doubt that much, if not all the violence and perhaps bloodshed, with which we are threatened, could be prevented by a conciliA- tory and just arrangement between eee: he reasons assigned by the Know Nothings for rejecting all negotiation on the subject is, that the city authorities have appointed an extra police force, which they deem amply suf- ‘leient for the emergency, and more effectual than individuals selected for their weight of vharacter alone, having no official authority. We think otherwise. The presence of such citizens at the polls, as representatives of the two parties, would indicate their desire and ‘letermination to cause the laws to be respect- ed, and would no doubt accomplish the object liere, as it has done elsewhere. Moreover, it is well known that Louisville is under the official dominion of Know Nothings ja all the de ments, judicial and executive, and that this power has not been exercised berto in such a manner as to command the fidence of their cpponents. The spring elections for local officers were attended with «xhibitions of violence more atrocious taan lad ever before been witnessed in our city, nd numbers of these Know Nothing police «ficers, whose duty it was to have preserved the peace, were among the mest active participants in those scenes of disorder. Every | knows that some of the elections were | bod, decided by mob law. Little or no attention hes been paid to outrages of the mo=! flagrant nature perpetrated at that time and since, and these guilty police officers are still retained in commission. What encouragement is there to expeet at the coming election, especially when we have seen Judge Gartland appoint five- siaths of the judges and other cfficersin charge of the polls from the Know Nothing ranks, in definnee of the plainest dictates of justice and right. A vith such arrangements as these, showing a cetermination to take the eléction under the'r cxelusive control, and the dcmonstratious here- tofore made of the utter absence of all sense of duty on the purt of the poitce officers, we think we bave no reason to expect anything but a repetition of similar scenes of disorder, riot, ind bloodshed to those which cecurred last pring, only much more aggravated by the ance of the coming contest, and consc- y increased excitement. sincerely lament this state ef things, but if it is so settled by those who haye it iu their }ower to order ii otherwise, it becomes our riends to do the best they can, but by all tucans to do nothing them-elyes to provoke just offence from their opponents. A Misreprssentation.—The local columns of the Organ groaned yesterday on account of the recent dismisgal of ten bricklayers from the public employment inthe Navy Yard. The Organ in this connection says that it ‘boldly uud unequivocally asserts that ten American mechanics were discharged from the mason- work at the Navy Yard, solely on account of ‘heir American proclivitics, and because they think proper to vote their own sentiments, in- stead of the sentiments of those oppused to them and to their countrymen.”’ Now, the truth of this cock-and-bull etary tarns out to be as follows, viz: It was found necessary to reduce the force of brick layers employed ie the yard from twenty-eight to eighteen, and ten were consequently dis- charged. Of those retained sixteen are Know Nothings in politics, and two are anti-Know Nothings. The selection of those to be retained was made by those responsible for the due ex- ceution of the work, who exercised that diacre- tion wholly with the view of sccuring the ser- vices cf those they deemed the best workmen. Ly the by, it is really amusing to see such appeals mnde to the public in behalf of men who have taken on themselves the obligations of Know Nothingism to hunt out of employ- nent all wherever born, and of whatever re- ligion, who.do not act with “the Order’ in politics. Our only wonder is, that the Government still continues to have the patience necessary ts enable them to persevere in their evident policy of making no distinction among the me- chanics employed in their respective trades ualer thom, so fur as their politics are con- cerned, so long as they (the mechanics) may soconduct themselves about political affairs, as not to interfere with the necessary dis- cipline of the yard, or with the rights and com- fort of their brother mechanics employed there who differ from them politically. We hear complaints frequently made of Kaow Nothing master-workmen and foremen in the yard, who are charged with favoring Know Nothings under them in many way, and thus wronging the anti-Kuow Nothings. We know not how far these complaints may be just, though such glaring and wholesale mis- representations of the truth as that in the Organ’s local column yesterday, look much as tLough simply designed to attract public at- tention from the partizan political operations of the Know Nothing master-workmen and foremen in the discharge of their duties in the yard, Tho New York Times and Gov. Reoder's Removal—As we have repeatedly stated siace Governor Reeder’s removal, we do not design impeaching the motives with which be entered into those speculations in lands which were the real causes of the President’s action in Gov. R.’s case. But while we do not in tand to do injustice to Gov. Reeder and his friends, wej cannot be guilty of the wrong to- wards the President of failing to expose the duplicity and mendacity of those who scek to obscure, by falsehood, the real facts and his- tory of the transaction. { ‘Lhe New York Times, of the day before yesterday, in an article, every line of which | is intended to create a false impression with regard to the cause of Gov. Reeder’s removal, and also with reference to the motives of the Executive, commences by alleging that the “President, after consultation with the Secre- tary of the Interior and the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, determined not to give it [the Indian land contract—Ed. Star] his ap- proval,—a decision of which Gov. Reeder is apprised in a letter ftom the Secretary of the Interior, dated the 13th of Jaly.” And in another part of the same article, the Times says explicitly that Governor Reeder ‘was removed five days before the date of the letter announcing the President’s adverso de- cision ;’’ and, consequently, that the removal was mot delayed ‘‘to await the result of the examination into the changes upon which it 70s to rest.” By’ reference to the Washington Union of the Sth ‘ustant, it will be seen that the letter of the act:og Secretary of State, apprising Gov. Reeder o. bis removal, is dated July 23, 1855. Now, if Gov. BR. was apprised of the President’s adverse docisien on the contract, on the 13th of July, as the Times states, and was remoyed on the 28th of July, the date of the acting Secretary of State's letter, tien it isclear that Gov. R. could not have been “ re- moved five days before the letter of the Secre- tary of the Interior announcing the President’s adverse decision.’’ The truth is, however, that the letter of the Seeretary of the Interior to Gov. Reeder, in- forming him of the President's disapproval of the contracts, and transmitting the whole cor- respondence, is dated August 2, 1855; but the date of the letter df the Secretary of the In- terior, upon the back of which the President endorsed ‘ approval of the contracts refused,’’ is July 26, 1855; and this endorsement, sign- ed Franklin Pierce, as will be seen by refer- ence to the Union of the 5th instant, 1s also dated July 26, 1855—two days before the let- ter of the acting Secretary of State. So, it ir false, then, that the removal of Gov. Reeder was not delayed *‘to await the result of the examination into the charges upon which he was removed !* Cancelling Posial Stamps.—It is the duty of every Postmaster to be careful to cancel the stamps of prepayment on every letter de- posited in his office for transmission by mail, either by drawing ink marks across its face, or blurring it with the impression of a stamp made for the purpose. This is absolutely ne- cessary, to prevent attempts to pass the stamps which have once been used, a second time in the mail, and in that way to defraud the De- partment There is a standing order of the Department that all stamps of pre-payment of postage shail be thus cancelled in the post | office where the letters bearing them may be | first deposited. Yet nothing is more common | than to neglect this plain duty, which, in turn, gives rise to efforts to defraud the Department oat of the value of the stamp:, which not un- fcequently are successful, we apprehend. It is equaily the daty of postmasters to cansel in the same manner the stamps of prepayment on the envelopes which are furnished by the department. These stamped envelopes are designed principally for the use of those who tranomit letters by private expresses, in which ease letters sont in them may be legally so. transmitted. Stamps cut from such envelopes when inisdirected by the sender, or under any other circumstance whatever, cannot be le- gally used; that is, placing them on other ietters or envelopes is not the prepayment cf postage required by the law. When such en- selopes are sent by private expresses—that is, outside of the mails, or otherwise—they are rareby or never cancelled, ang if the use of the stamps cut from such envelopes were regarded as prepayment of postage, there would be no security that they had net been used pre- viously az above explained, for which use of them the law exasts legal postage in makiag it ilfegal for express men, Xc., to carry letters, exeept in such envelopes, which are obtaina- ble only from postmasters =e Governor Reeder.—As many of the north- ern papers are teeming with a story in their Washington correspondence, alleging that the President offered to Governor Reeder, as in- ducements for that gentleman to sesign, first, the mission to China, and then that to the court of St. James, soon to be made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Buchanan, we have to say that we are satisfied that the story in each and every one of its particulars and varia- tions is false—false from beginning to end. No such cffer or offers were made to him, the public may rely on it. The story is merely wade up by some enemy of the President, who lacks truth on which to hang a fair plea of wrong doing on bis (the President's) part, as the basis of invidious comments on his admin- ministration. When, as alleged, Governor Reeder was of- fered the Chinese mission, that was not va- cant; nor had Mr. MeLane made up his mind to resign. The Hon. John ¥. Mason.—We understand that letters received in this city from this gen- tleman by the last European mai} which have reached here, demonstFate rapid improve- ment in his health, in all respects. That he is now able to write as well as he ever did, his numerous friends in all quarters of the country will be most happy To learn. Navy Officers Dead—The Navy Depart- ment have advices of the death of Lieut. Wm. Degatur Hurst, U. 8. N., who died on the 7th instant, at Mendham, N. J., and of Master Augustus Ford, U. 8.
