EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: MONDAY AFTERNOON......... Sept. 10. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer doubts whether the de- cision of the Supreme Court, in the case of Goodrich vs. Guthrie, can be taken as affirm- ing the right of the President to remove a ter- ritorial judge, with which that journal does not conceive the Executive of the United States to be clothed, if we may fairly draw a conclu- sion from the tenor of the editor’s remarks The came paper explains the decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in Passmore Williamson’s application for a writ of Labeas corpus, as follows : o # en by the Supreme Court of Somteane thay that onus has no jurisdiction to warrant its interfering with the judgment of the Federal Courts; that such Courts have exclusive power deciding cases of contempt, ard the State Court could not go behind the record to ascertain the fact whether the commitment was legal or not. « The decision was read by Judge Biack and concurred in by Judge Lowric, although the latter differed in some of the views taken in the ease.’”’ The Union quotes the reeord to show that Senators Chase, Seward, Wade and Sumner, and their allies in Congress, assisted, with might and main, in repealing the Missouri restriction in 1853. It will astonish all in Washington familiar with the unpublished history of Congress, who know well the bitter contempt for and hostility to tho Missouri Compromise which the Abolitionists and Free Soilers have heretofore expressed, to learn that they row talk differently of it. — +2 > WASHINGTON NEWS ARD GOSSIP. Tho Election To-day.—To-day Maine elects aGovernor, Legislature and other State officers. Three parties are in the field. The Demo- crats, who, are opposed to the Maine Liquor Law and for the Nebraska bill (and are there- fore opposed to efforts for the restoration of the «« Missouri restriction,’’) the Republicans, who embrace the Abolitionists, Kaow Nothings, Free Scilers, and Maine Liquor Law men, who are for the law, and for the repeal of the fua- gitive slave law and the restoration of the Missouri restriction, and third—the : out Whig party, with the es Reed as their candidate for Governor. cently there has been a very general fusion throughout the State between the straight out Whigs and Democrats, who, insome countics, have made a joint ticket, each having fair sh of their friends. This fusion has greatly inspired the Democratic leaders there, who have written to Washington that they ex- pect to defeat the re-election of Morrill to-day; to elect a majority to the State Senate, Democrats and straight cat Whigs) with atair chence of obtaining a similar msjority in the lower branch. cannot carry Maine, as matters there for the lact two years, they cannet carry asingie State in the Union, Ohio ineiuded. As for the Philadelphia-platform-Know-Ni ing-pariy. nothiag of the sort exists in Maine We doubt if there are ten Know Nothings in any town of the State attached to that organi- zation.

Troe Progress.—The result of the late trial of the reaping machines of various countr now being exbibited at the World’s Exh tien at Paris, must be exceedingly gratifyin to all our countrymen, insomuch 2: it proves that we continue to be foremost in tie race of improvement in the adoption of mechanical principles to the business of economizing Lu- man time and Iabor, and to that of beet xe- euring for man the fruits of hislabor. As at the similar trial in England during the mem- erable Crystal Palace exhibition, the Ameri- ean machines outstrip competitors. The Paris Constitutionnel, reeeivel by the last steamer, contains an interesting account of the great trial of reapers on that oce: which we adopt, as correct, in preference to that in the Paris American of Mr. Flesch- man, & well-known German gentleman. long connected with the Patent Office in thix city. who now fuilows the business of an American patent agent in the French capital—acling as agent to introduce and sell American patented articles in France, and to obtain patents in France for American inventions, and in the United Siates for French inventions—his jour- nal aforesaid being a sort of tender to his patent agency business, and on that account not in very good odor with the Americans in Paris. who Jo not relish the notion of hay- ing the reputation of their country and its in- dustrial affairs represented so as to subserve the publisher’: busines:, in connection with patent rights, dc. Ps We deem this explanation necessary to give our readers the key to more or less of the won- derful statements in the article from Mr. Flewhman’s Paris journal, professing to em- brace an account of the reapers in question, which is now being extensively republished in the United States. We prefer the account of the Constitutionne/, from the high character of that loza fide Freneh newspaper, which, not being aaixed up with the patent agency business, makes its statement rather to inform its countrymen of the true history and resulis of the trial, than to effeet sales of this or that mecbine in France, in advance of the report of the scientific commission of the Grand Exhibi- tion in Paria upon the relative merits of the differeut machines—Loglish, French, Ameri- ean, and Algerion—that payticipated in the contest : GREAT TRIAL OF REAPING AND MowING Wa- CBINES. {Translated from Le Constitationnel.} Pants, Aug. 7, 1555. The second day of August having been ap pointed for the final trial of all the reaping and mowing machines in the Exposition. the trial accordingly came off on that day. Thore were ten machines in the Exposition ; nine of them were seut out by the Lmperial Commis- sioner to the place of trial, about forty miles distant. It may be bere remarked that the machives were sent out aod returned free of cost to the exhibitors. On the ground of the trial there were thousands of people assem- bled to witness the novelty of the day ; largo tents had been prey ‘ously erected, and @ large supply of refreshments procured for the oeca- sion. The day was pleasant and the excite- ment of the immense coneourse of people in- tense. The police were in attendance upon horseback. The militia were’ in requisition with guns and bayonets to keep the crowd of eager spectators from off the grain. Stakes ion, were driven into the ground and ropes drawn from stake to stake, until the entire field of about fifteen acres was surrounded. This was a field of an ordinary growth of oats, and standing up well, and which was divided into lots or pieces of about an acre each, by swaths being cut through at a given distance, paral- lel with each therein piece being num- bered, and one machine allotted to each piece At the beat of the drum three machines started off together. J. S. Wright’s, of Chi- cago, Tll., managed by his agent. Mr Jewel : Patrick Bell's machine, by Mr. Fourent, and a machine from Algiers. These machines, being calculated to do their own raking by machinery. Wright's machine cut its piece in twenty-four minutes; Bell's in sixty-six minutes, and the Algiers machine in seventy- iw minutes. The raising or discharging of the grain from all ef the three machines was badly done. the grain being much scattered in its delivery upon the ground—Wright’s being much the best. The cutting, however, was well done. The automaton cakeeee Wright's machine was truly wonderful. The operation of the ma- chine was wholly successful. Bell’s machine by Fourent, did the cutting and gathering of the grain in avery neat manner: the grain was delivered Ereely Sone side of the machine forthe binders. After the jurors had care- fully noted the trial thus far, the signal again was given and off started three other machine: - Hf. Manny’s, of Rockford, Iili- nois, managed by his agent, Mr. Mabie; Bell’s machine, by Croskill, and a French one-horse reaper. Manny’s cut its piece in twenty-two minutes; Boell’s, by Croskill, and the one- horse French reaper failed to cut their pieces; while Manny’s did its work in the most exqui site manner, not leaving a single stalk un- gathered; and it discharged the grain in the most perfect shape, as if placed by hand for the binders. It finished its piece most glo- riously ; the jurors could not restrain their ad- miration, but cried out, ‘Good,’’ ‘‘well done.** The people applauded and hurraed for Man- ny’s American reaper—‘ that’s the machine.” in, after the jury had taken further notes trial, the signal was given, and threo other machines started off on the contest— per, by Dray; MeCormick’s, by Bell's, by Perry. ne cut its piece in thirty min- McCormick's in twenty minutes, and led to finish its piece.

The 4th section of said act provides that raid volunteers shall, when so called and re- ceived, and while remaining in service, be subject to the rules and articles of war, and shall be, in all respects, (except as to clothing and pay,) placed on the same footing with similar corps of the United States army, and in lieu of clothing, they are to receive addi- tional pay. 1t is further provided by the 5th section of said act that said volunteers shall be accepted by the President of the United States in com- panies, battalions, squadrons, and regiments. It is also provided by the 9th section of said act that whenever the militia or volunteers are so called and reeeived into the service as aforesaid under its provisions, that they shall have the organization of the army of the United States, and shail have the same pay and silowance. except as provided by the 4th section of said act. inder the above act, the Governor of Texas calles ante ihe service of the United States a certain number of isoops for twelve months, who were accepted by !he President, and who don the frontier of Texas from August to ber, 1848, which was after the termina- tion of the Mexiean war. As said troops were called into service by virtue of an act of Congress, which act places taem on a footing, in ail respects, with United States troope; and as it is shown that they were not afany time, during the period which they served, engaged in actual war, they are net embraced within the provisions of the act of 3d March, 1855, nor any other bounty land act. The Hards.—Some of our eotemporaries in the South are under # delusion as to the exis- tence of such @ party at this time in Now York. There are actually not five thousand persons in the whole State disposed to vote the Hard ticket, or wo are much mistaken. Quite half the delegates and three-fourths of the outsiders who attended their late convention at Syracuse were members of Know Nothing lodges, or avowed sympathisers with Know Nothingism: among the latter class being Mr. Daniel S. Dickinzon, who finds it for the in- terest of Know Nothingism to deny the soft impeachment at times, to the infinite amuse- went of his intimates at Binghamton, who are all well aware that his whole political affec- tions are now wrapped up in the success of Know Nothingism. The Hard State commit- tee assembled a few days since in New York city, and one-half of the members present were as notoriously members of Know Nothing lodges as ‘‘ Ned Buntline’’ or Mr. President Barker themselves—one of the secretaries of the committee being a Know Nothing nominee for a State office. Their pretence for keeping up a State Hard organization is simply to cheat the handful of impracticable Hards left into refusing to vote for tho Soft candidates—not that they them- selves have the slightest idea of voting for others than the regularly nominated Know Nothing candidates. The Hards in the City of New York, where the organization was, not many months since, stronger than that of the Softs, with E. B. Hart, Ed. C. West, J. B. Hfaskins, Daniel E. Sickels, et a/, at their head, have gone back into Tammany. fenator Atchison.—We coincide with the New York Tr/bune in the belief that there must be something wrong in the news of the re-election of the Hon. David R. Atchison to the United States Senate published in our tel- graphic columns on Saturday. The last two ballots are said to have been as follows : 3d. 4th. oe 024 28 10 David R. Atchison... Thomas H. Benton. Sarouel H. Woodson. 5 M. M. Marmaduke.... 3 The Legislature of Missouri is composed of 151 members; so much less than a quorum mu:zt have participated in this election, if it came off as is alleged. According to our un. derstanding, the Legislature of Missouri were not to have assembled until! December. It can hardly fail to turn out, it strikes us, thai there is something of a hoax at the bot- tom of this news. Dead.—Our Alexandria readers will hear with great pain of the death of the late ver- erable Dr. Carson, particulars of which are in our obituary columns to-day. He was a geu* uine Irish gentleman—one of fine attainments, chivalric ideas, genial disposition and benevo- ience of heart that knew no limit but his He lived a life time in Alexandris, where all knew him but to love and confide in bin. means.

Tha Epidemic in Norfolz and Portsmouth. There is no abatement in the ravages of the yellow fever in Norfoik and Portsmouth, and ity is still alarming. To the list of deaths heretofore published we add the following : Richard Gatewood, jr., B. B. Walters, Wil- vrey ; F. Johnston, wife, and child; tten, Miss Saunders, Mrs. Harwood, rrett, Miss MeGowan, Miss Selden, ss. Bryant, Miss Caphart, young Doland, Mr. Solomon, Mrs. Wilson, Marshall Ott. Mrs. Burnham, and Alice Chandler and Riche Chandler, (sisters.) There were 40 deaths in Norfolk on Friday, and 35 up to 2 o’clock on Saturday. Richard Gatewood, jr., Esq., is among the dead. This is the second editor of the Norfolk Beacon taken off by the scourge. Truly, it may be said that death loves a shining mark! Mr. Gate- wood was in the thirty-third year of his age, and died after six days’ illness, a martyr to human suffering. James H. Finch, foreman of the Norfolk Argus, was taken sick with the fever socn after reaching Petersburg. To add to the miseries of the citizens of Norfolk tho small pox has broken out among them—ten or twelve cases having occurred. Unfortunate city!—when will her troubles coare? ‘Tho number of deaths by the fever in Nor- folk and Portsmouth since the Sth day of July —two months—will probably reach /i/ieen hundred!

Our party of Baltimo- reans consisting of a detachment of the night watch of Baltimore and a committee of that spirited Military Corps, the City Guards, un- der the immediate command of Col. John B. Ray, are makiag active preparation to disem- bark with their camp equipage, and go to the Island for the establishment of their humane barrack. The morning is @ beautiful one and all seem disposed to vie with each other in ef- forts of usefulness. S$ o'clock, a. m.—The Richmond steamer Au- gusta has just boarded us, with a sub-commit- tee of the Hampton committee recently in Washington, and through theirchairman, hey Dr. McCabe, changed the whole order of things.

The Ameri- can fing was raised, and the eap named. * Camp Falls’’ is situated immediately on the ‘Hampton Roads” shore, between’ Old Point Qomfort and Hampton; the ground is ants reccived and en- the highest in the vicinity, and beautifully adapted to the purpose. oe to-morrow (Sunday) it is expected that under the direction of the Howard Asso- ciation of Norfolk quite a number of refugees Will be sent to the camp by the steamer J. E. Uoffee, whieh will be enabled to land them within a short distance of the beach. Thus, within a few hours, h the phi- lanthropic labors of a few benevolent spirit, has been erected “Camp Falls’’—its chet the relief of the distressed, and a refuge from the plague. The flag that floats over it is not a more fit emblem of a nation’s glory than its snow-peaked tonts are of the humane purposes for which it has been established. The camp ground is withiasight of Old Point Comfort, and the sudden springing up of a canvass city, in the wilds of Virginia, attract- ed the attention of the officers of Fort Monroe, whose curiosity brought them over in their boats. They expressed great admiration as to the manner in which the camp was located, and the tents pitched, as well as at the rapid- ity with which the work was executed. The different avenues through the camp were named after prominent citizens of Balti- more, Norfolk, and Portsmouth. There is ‘*Woodis avenue,’’ ‘Ferguson avenue,” “ Hinks avenue,’’ ‘Fiske Avenue,” and oth- ers that I do not remember. When the Georgia left ‘‘ Camp Falls,’’ the work of improving the grounds was still going on, and straw and boards were being brought to make the tents more comfortable. FROM PORTSMOUTH. In Portsmouth, 22 deaths were reported on Friday, and 50 new cases; and 15 deaths up to 2 o'clock on Saturday. The disease is spreading to the eurrounding country. Among the recent deaths are William and Robert Burton, George W. Chambers, j Wallace, Lewis Crammer, Thos. Mountjoy. two children of J. D. Cooper, son of Mr. Spratt, Miss Reed. Jacob Miller, child of Mrs. Bucha- Mr. Holland, Miss Virmilion, Mrs. Jas. ame, John Lovett, and Mrs. Morton. Dr. Wm. Collins and his brother, Drs. Mar- shall, of Baltimore, and Bryant, of Philadel- phia, and Harry Fereby, are reported to be mm a dying condition. Dr. Howell is deai, also Wm. Brittingham. Dr. Pete, of Ports- mouth, and Joseph Mickey are sick. Dr. fodges has left Portsmouth for a few days to recruit. Dr. Webster is still workiug hard, though nearly broken down. Mayor Fisk has so far improved as to walk about his room. A member of the sanatary committee states that there are 600 cases of fever in Ports- mouth and the Naval Hospital at this time. and that cearce a family hus uely escaped the ravages of the disease. At the Academy, which is used as an orphan asylum, there are 100 children. Mr. Wm. B. Collins leaves this afternoen for Portsmouth, whither he goes to assist in nurs- ing the sick. Mr. C. is a native of that town, and has but just returned from a mission of love and labor in that locality: and hearing of the increase of the epidemic and the conse- quent demand for nurses, he has nobly stepped forward to assist a second time in relieving the distresses of the fever-stricken patients. May health attend him in his ministrations !

Sores was a sterling man, honest, industrious and firmly adherent to principle. Bt we must pass on. The Mayor of Portsmouth, we are happy to tell our friends, is decidedly improving; the fee- bleness and prostration under which he has been laboring for some days are giving place to comparative strength, and with him, the fatal crisis has passed.

We trust that oil and wine will be poured in and that his wounds will be bound up. The fever continues as bad as ever. Indeed, the numberof deaths during the last week has exceeded that of any previ- oas week. Drs. Cobert, Webster. Walters, and all, are hard at work. More physicians have been written for to supply the place of those sick, and to divide the labor, which is and has boen too arduous for the few engaged in the charitable work.’’ In another article, speaking of the volunteer physicians, the same paper says: ‘even of these noble men are now at the hospital sick.
