WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY AFTERNOON........October 9. patente tecatirienasiadictesess shin aa The Repeal of the Nebraska Bill.—We noted, a day or two since, the fact that the cause of the repeal of the Nebraska bill loses an aggregate of ten votes, as compared with the strength of the cause of opposition to it (the bill) by the positions on it assumed by the anti-Administration men in Tennessee and by Sp Avvertisuuxnts should be handed in by 12 o'clock, M., otherwise they may not ap- pear until the next day.

Give the Svar office a call. Counsel before the Claims Court should confide the printing of their briefs to us. there will be a majority in the next House of Representatives against in any manner inter- fering with the Nebraska act as it stands on the statute book. The reader will recollect that “ fusion’? (the new Republican organiza- tion in the whole North) has declared against the restoration of the Missouri restriction law. which movement will have due weight on the course of some forty members, from non-slave- holging States, of known affiliation with the new organization, who were elected on account of the fervor with which they ‘“ went in for”’ the proposed restoration, when before the people. By-the-by, the entire change of front on this subject of the uew organisation, forcibly brings to mind the demagogism of much of the opposition to the Nebraska bill and fugitive slave law. In 1852, it will be recollected, the anti-slavery politicians went into excruci- ating spasms over the project of repealing tho latter—the fugitive slave law—and used their promises and political delirium tremens con- cerning this law to stir up the sectional pas- sions of the ignorant, controversial, fanatical, and prejudiced at the North, until disunionism ran so high there as to seriously threaten the much longer existence of the Union. All the world, at length, realizes that there was nothing in the world in the threats of, and ap- peals for, the repeal of the law in question; the promises of the demagogues riding the hobby on the stump having never been even seriously attempted to be carried out. Later. we had Mr. Sumner and his sectional coadju- tors proclaiming the Nebraska bill to be a fraud and a violation of a most sacred com- pact between North and South, and, on that hobby and misrepresentation, Taising the late anti-Nebraska storm, which, having raged its brief hour at the North, has already subsided, leaving hardly more of a trace of its existence whistling gently in the popular ear (like the soothing sighing of the last of a storm through the leaves of the forest) than the anti-Nebraska tirades of candidates for county officers, who have been late in coming up to what they fancy to be the issues of the day. fessrs Summer & Co. were the original authors of the compact ‘‘dodge.”” It required an astonishing endowment of ‘cheek’? in them to essay such a fraud on the public, it strikes us, after having themselves labored for at least five years to break what thcy style the compact that should be more binding than the constitution, under their reading of the obligations of the latter. It was broken by them in the application of the Wilmot proviso to Oregon; deliberately, knowingly, ard fore’- bly broken, over the protest of the South against the injustice not of repealing any particular act of Congress, (because it w2s an act of Con- gress,) but of essaying to place a brand of in- feriority upon a great section of the States. We never witnessed more impudence than has been manifested by the ‘‘repealers’’ during the past year, tn stultifying the public history of the five previous years, and secking to play upon the most dangerous prejuilices and worst passions of the most ignorant and really brutal portions of the northern community, on this subject. The result is already before the country Ere Congress meet they have, with one accord, proclaimed the want of integrity in their course, by formally resolving it to be ine dient tolifta finger to repeal the Ne bill, which thing so many of the were elected particularly to accomplish. With half the common sense for which our experience indu- ces us to credit the people at large, they must realize in the history of the repeal war which we narrate above, the utter wart of character, integrity, true patriotism and good sense in the counsels which govern the movements of the anti-slavery opposition in this country; in thus basing all hope of success, as it does. on misrepresentations, false pretences and its capacity to stir up passions, the exer- cise of which tend to disturb the harmony and brotherly love that should exist between the two sections of this great confederacy. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union republishes the New York Even- tng Post's bogus bistory of the Nebraska bill, exploding its account, saying, in the course of its comments on the subject : “There never was a moment of time when either President Pierce, or General Cass, or Senator Douglas, differed as to the propriety of repealing the Missouri restriction and sub- stituting in its stead the great principle of nen- intervention. Whatever sectional agitation hes {owed has been the work of those who were 1.0t leas violently op to the Compro- mise 0° 1850 than to the Nebraska act. en President Pieree committed himself against “the resurrection of the slave struggle,’ he commitied himself and his Democratic friends neG giving any just ground for the re- newal of the agitation, and at the same time committed himself end his friends in favor of a faithful adherence to the principles of the Compromise of 1850. He has kept his pledges with strict fidelity, and it does not now lay in the mouth of one of the chief agitators to charge the resurrection of the slave struggle upon the President or his friends; the respon- sibility rests upon the Post and its abolition nds, and upon them the judgment of the country will permaneatly fix it.” The Intelligencer discusses the issues and the divisions of parties in the three State elec- tions to take place to-day. wee PERSONAL. ++++ The London News has a genealogical ketch proving that Louis Napoleon is a cousin of Queen Victoria, ++++ Two ot the daughters of the late Pro- fessor Webster, who was executed for the mur- cecrof Dr. Parkman, have married into the family cf Mr Dabney, an American at Fayal, of great influence and fortune. +++.

The Elections —The majority of Governor Johnson in Georgia is at least 8,000 over his Know Nothing competitor, and 4.000 over his (Andrew's) vote combined with that of Ozle- by, the Temperance candidate. The Demo- crats have certainly elected six members of Congress from Georgia, and the Know Noth- ings one, (Trippe,) leaving it still questionable whether Linton Stephens (Alexander H’s brother) or Foster (Know Nothing) is electcd from the remaining district. To-day, there is a goneral election in In- diana for county officers. There now exists nothing like a Know Nothing Philadelphia platform-party in that State, Know Nothingism being merged in the new Republican party. The Indiana politicians now in this city seem to anticipate an overwhelming victory for the Democrats, to which party, we may add, they all belong. In Pennsylvania, a Canal Commissioner, county officers, and a Legislature are to be chosen to-day. The opposition to the Demo- eratie party have made an apparently com- plete union on a Republican candidate for Canal Commissioner, except in Lancaster county, where the original Whig nominee, (Henderson,) who was withdrawn to complete the fusion, is expected to receive a heavy vote, aad in Philadelphia, where the commercial interest kicks against being transferred, ‘“‘body and breeches,’’ to the Abolitionists. In Brad- ford county, where the Free Soilers have a majority of some 3,000, Victor Piolett is said to have made a powerful inroad into their ranks. He is running for the Legislature with a fuir chance of success; and the Democratic leaders here have high hopes that P. may in- duce @ thousand or so of his supporters, who are Free Soilers, also to support Plummer for Canal Commissioner. However, so complete is the combination of all the factions in Penn- sylvania, just now, that it will astonish us if the Demoorats carry the State. In Ohio they are to elect to-day a Governor, State and eounty officers, and a Legislature. The defection of the straight Whigs, and the five or six thousand Philadelphia platform Know Nothings from Chase, bids fair to secure triumph for Medill (Dem.) They will cast their votes for Trimble. If the latter receives 20,000 votes, Medill in all probability will be elected; but Lardly otherwise, Isvictuests By tHe New York Granxp Jony.--The Grand Jury appeared in Oyer and Terminer this day, noon, and presented to the Court, three indictments against city offi- Class, two sgainst city Judge Stuart, and one *_ainst oficer Elder, an attache of the Judge's ‘ue indictments charge the Judge with bnbery and conspiracy to defeat the ends of justice, and the charge ugainst the policeman 3 conspiracy with Judge Stuart to defeat the cuds of justico. The Judge awaited the indictments, having heaid they were coming, and gave the neces- sery bail. He declares his entire innocence of the allegations, and says he will prove their falsity 89 -con as an opportunity offers. Hay- ing heard rumors of indictments, he applied by letter) the Grand Jury to be adinitted befure them to prove his innocence, but was —— the privilege —N. ¥.

Venn, ™ wery, gave bail in the eum of $1,000 for the Tabare appear- ance of Elder, the indicted policeman. Coxsvupiox or Goup.—It has been ascer- tained that in Birmingham, E ‘land, not less than one thousand ounces of fffie gold are used weekly, equivalert to some $900,000 annual! : and that the consumption of leaf ineight maoufacturing towns is equal to five hundred and eighty-four ounces- weekly For gilding metals by electrotype and the water siting procezses not less than ten thousand ounces f ilare required annually.

At old at Waar witt Avstxia po?—The most con- elusive anfwer to this vezate questio was lately given as follows by Thiers when the question was put to him : “If we beat the Russians on the Tchernaya, the Court of Vieuna will offer its congratula- tions to our Ein aseador; if we take the Mala- koff, and express envoy will be sent to us: thould Sebastopol fall into our hands, the Aus trian ammunition wagons will be dispatched toward Galicia to take cartridges to the arm: : should we beoome absolute masters of Orimea, the entire army will be put on a war footing; and if we sign a treaty of ace, Arstria will then be ready to open the cam- paign” ov Bexicgrext Sairs sy Nev- ‘TRALS. tLe British High Court of Admiral- ty it bas lately been held competent for ne ~als te purchase the property of enemies in ‘her country, whether consisting of ships thing else. The court said that they stfeet right to do so, and no belliger- va override it z Awarded.—The contract for furnishing the material for the extension of the Treasury building has been accorded to Beales & Dixon, of Dix Island, Maine. There were a large number of bids, and that of the successful firm was much lower than the rest. We have scen the stone selected, and have no hesitation in saying that, in addition to the saving in the cost of the material involved in the acceptance of the bid of these parties, it (the material) is the best and most beautiful building granite ever worked into an edifice. It is fine grained, very hard, and susceptible of the very highest style of finish, which we understand is to be slopted in thiscase. Granite was adopted forthe construction of this magnificent edifice, we understand, apart from the immense difference between its cost and that of marble, because, while in selecting this particular stone a very beautiful material has been obtained, it will assimilate more nearly with the existing struc- ture, which isof granite. With this extension constructed of marble, the whole edifice would appear like a new pair of breeches with a huge patch of old cloth on the seat of them; as no amount of painting would closely assimilate tLe centre, of granite, with the appearance of the ma:ble wings. The contract of Beales & Dixon includes the outting of the granite also. Promotions and Appointments in the Ma- rine Corps.—First Lieut. Frederick B. Me- Neill, to be a captain from the 19th of August last, vice Stark, deceased. Second Lieut. Israel Green, to be a first lieutenant, vice Sutherland, promoted. Second Lieut. Jacob Read, to be a first liou- tenant from 19th August last, vice McNeill, promoted Alexander W. Stark, of Virginia, to be a second lieutenant from 19th July last, vice Green, promoted. David M. Cohen, of Maryland, to be a soc- ond lieutenant from 19th August last, vice Read, promoted. James Lewis, of Pennsylvaniapto be a sec- ond lieutenant from 25th September, ultimo, vice Dallas, resigned. Santa Anne.—It is believed by not a few of those around us that his excellency, Gen- eral Santa Anna, the ex Dictator of Mexico, is now in Washington, sojourning with General Almonte, the Mexican minister, in whose household he is euid to have first appeared on Friday last. The evidence on which this belief arises is not, however, sufficient to induce us to credit the story in view of the fact that bis cork limb and his remarkable physiognomy together, are such personal marks (of which he could not rid himself to wear an incognito) as would render his presence in the United States, with- out the fact being known to the world, almost a physical impossibility. The last published accounts of him (from the West Indies) represent him as in the Island of St. Thomas. The Growth of the Northwest.—If one de- sires practical proof of the soundness of the statistical views with which the great Tam- many Hall speech of ex-Governor Seymour, of New York, abounds, it may be drawn from the following facts, which we deduce from data now in the Interior Department, viz: By the census of 1850, the population of Wis consin was 305,391. A State census has re- cently been taken, which shows a population of 553 588, estimating Fon du Lao county (not Teported) as containing 26,000. The population of Minnesota Territory has doubled eince last spring. It is now about 70,000. A Mistake.—Our frien’s of the Intelligen- cer, who 80 rarely make such slips of the pen, this morning confounded Master Charles V. Morris, U. 8. N., with Commodore Charles Morris. This was in the publication of the correspondencs between the former, who has long beea the Master at the Wachington navy yard, with the employees therein, on the occa- sion of his separation from them—having been retired by the late Board. He was @ very popular and deserving officer. Another Hersld Roorback.—The Herald is making a huge parade about pretended ap- prehensions at Washington of the appearance of Kinney there, as the envoy extraordinary of twenty-five Jamaica negroes at Greytown, with Mr. Thayer, of the Evening Post, for his secretary of legation.

There is but little additional from the yel- low fever infected districts, to-day. The news from Portsmouth is very unfavor- able. Six new cases were reported there on Saturday. and four deaths. The weather all day was showery, and the atmosphere heavy, to which cause is attributed the new cases. We have information from Millwood, Clarke county, Va., of the death of Wm. Collins, son of the late President of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad, of pleurisy, (and not of the yellow fever, as some of the papers have it,) in the 12th year of his age. His mother and other members of the family were with him during his last hours, and speak in the highest terms of the kind treatment they re- ceived from the citizens of Clarke county, who did all that could be done to eupply their wants and comfort them in their distress. The deceased was buried decently, and in a metal- lic coffin; it being the intention of the family to remove the remaius to Portsmouth during the coming winter. A Norfolk letter is the Richmond Dispatch, of the 5th, says: There have been only three or four deaths to-day, and the diseuse seems again to have ceased its ravages. To-day, the wind has changed to south again, and the temperature is much warmer This, it is faared, will cause Wie fever to manifest itself agair, and some who have not been attacked, may not, after all, entirely escape the disease. Some of our people who refused at the ear- nest solicitation of their friends to leave the city before the fever raged so fearfully. and who have lost members of their household, re- proach themselves severely, and bitterly re- gret that they did not fly, and thus save the valuable lives that are lost And others deep- ly deplore the fact that necessity compelled them to remain to submit to tho fury of the pestilence, and see their fondest reiations die and conveyed to the grave. A correspondent of the Petersburg Express writes from Weldon, on the 7th inst., as fol- lows : ‘i I paid a visit to Portsmouth yesterday, and was most agreeably surprised to find every- thing wearing such a lively appearance. Drays, hacks, baggage wagons, &c., were being driven rapidly through the streets, and numbers of persons were moving about the street, looking exceedingly cheerful. The diseaco has swept through the entire town and suburbs, attacking almost every- body that remained. But very few have es- caped, I assure you, and uven those few may yet be attacked. From all I can gather I do not believe the disease is less malignant now than it has been since it made its appearance; and it is the opinion of all the physicians there that it only wants material upon which to operate. No frost has visited Portsmouth that could possibly check the disease, notwith- standing the many reports to the contrary ; and I would take this occasion to warn ali ab- sentees not to entertain a thought of return- ing until frost sufficient shall fall to chill the water to freezing. Several persons returned to Norfolk last week, and out of two families numbering thirteen members combined the ninth one was buried yesterday. Persons re- turning now aro far more liable to take the disease than those who have not been away since the fever commenced. I saw Mr. Join Drewry, sheriff of the coun- ty, on the street, looking exceedingly feeble from a severe attack of the fever. The lamented President of the Seaboard and Roanoke Road, (Dr. Wm. Collins,) and sever- al of the employees have been swept off by the epidemic. All the engineers that were engaged in running the trains between Suffolk and Portsmouth have cither died or gone away to escape the scourge. The only one left now to rform this duty is a youth named Robert askina, who had been serving the company previous to the breaking out of the fever in the capacity of fireman; but for the last three weeks he has been acting as both firemen and engineer. Ho is only about fifteen yoars of age, and deserves great praise. The citizens of Clarke county, Va , have con- tributed nearly $2,000 for the relief of the yellow fever sufferers in Norfolk and Ports- mouth, and are now engaged in raising the sum of $5,000 with which to support and ed- ucate the son of the Rev. Mr. Chisholm, wko s0 nobly sacrificed his life in ministering to the wants of the scourge-stricken inhabitants of Portsmouth, some five weeks since. ALLEGHANY TunngL.—The Greenbrier Era gives an account of the progress in tunnelling the Alleghany mountain, from which we learn that the distance so far accomplished is 2,425 feet, being more than one half the entire length. ‘The work is ing at the rate of feet per month. The rock through which the tunnel excavation is belng made is a firm blue clay slate, the stratification being nearly at right to the direction of the tunnel, generally inclining from sixty to seven- ty-five degrees from the horizontal, thus form ing a firm and compact roof and side. Paics or Bagap ix Fraxce.—Bread in Paris is now at If. the 41b. loaf, and out of Paris 1f. 10c. and If. 20c.even. This, for any one who knows what the poor man’s life is in France, is truly serious. Recently, in Paris, several bakers were fined for not having suffi- cient quantity of bread in their shops.
