er nl EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: SATURDAY AFTERNOON ...October 20, a THE WEEKLY STAB. The number for this week isat least equal to any of its predecessors for tich and inter- teresting contents, inclading domestic and lo- cal, aswell as foreign intelligence, and a va- riety of both serious and amusing literary ar- ticles. Terms, $1.25 a year, or three cents for a single number. ————q9(-e SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union is exceedingly indignant at the aspersions of the Courier des Etats Unis, which foolishly charges that the Russian Le- gation bere has bribed the Government of the United States into favoring the cause of Rus- sia in the current war. The Washington editor expresses his willingness to join any party in putting down such foreign influence in this country as that of the journal in question, established and sustained in our midst by the French Government. The Intelligencer at length realizes what has long seemed to us a very plain fact, vis: that the Eastern war has but fairly begun— saying : “* If we confide in the view of Lord Palmer- ston, the chief military resources of Ruzsia have been concentrated in the Crimea, and the power of that great empire has been es- sentially crippled. But, on the other hand, the tone of Prince Gortschakoff, in his general order after the abandonment of the southern portion of Sebastopol, and the kfty spirit evinced by the Emperor Alexander in his ‘ re- script to the Military Governor-General at Moscow,’ in which he accepts * pastand present events as the inscrutable will of Providence, who chastens Russia with heavy hours cf trial,’ may be regarded as foreshadowing a determi- nation to exhaust, if necessary, the entire en- ergies of his people in the maintenance of the integrity of his empire and the national honor. The religious enthusiasm infused among his troops by the earnest efforts to convince them that ‘Rassia has drawn the sword for the cause of Christianity’ is evidence that the sapguinary work is little more than half be- gun. It will ef necessity be the absorbing theme for months, if not years to come.”’ += WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Resignation of a Distinguished Army Off- cer.—Brevet Brig. Gen Ethan A. Hitchcock, colonel of the second regiment of infantry, having tendered the resignation of his com- mission in the Army, it has been accepted by* the President, to take effect on the 18th inst. Gen. Hiteheock entered the service on July i7, 1817, as a third lieutenant, and reached almost the highest rank known to the Amy, having been breveted a brigadier general for gallant and distinguished services in the storming of Molino del Rey, Mexico, Septem- ber 8, 1547. The Mexican Boundary Survey.—It is said around Washington that the Mexican boundary survey is completed, and that this Government have consented to pay over the balance of the money due under the treaty of Guaduloupe Hidalgo. to the Mexican bond- holders of the United States, rather than to the Mexican Government. Both these statements are equally unfounded, we apprekend. In- formation reached the Interior Department ten days sinee that the main field work boundary survey has been at length completed, and that the two commissioners {ef the two Governments) have exchanged their notes of the survey, &:. Upon these facts, the first portion of the story referred to above is probably based. There however re- mains some little field work—triangulation— still to be done; and, it is said, before the sur- vey canbe so completed as to authorize the payment of the money to any one, the joint maps must be formally signed by the two com- missioners, and excianged in this elty in April next, as per the agreement in the treaty. We see nothing tv induce a change in our opinion, expressed some time since, that the Government of the United States has not, as yet, found any authority under which it oan recognize as the payces of the three millions rem#iuing to be paid to Mexico under the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, any parties ex- cept the Mexican Government existing when the payment may be due, or its assignees. Strenw: forts have been made, are being made. and will, doubtless, continue to be made, to induce the authorities here to regard Santa Anna’s mortgages of this money to American citizens as binding on this Govern- ment—or, rather, as justifying this Govern- ment in using it to liquidate the claims of the American mortgagces out of this fand, which was certainly pledged to them by Santa Anna This reading of the obligations of the United States under the treaty has, up to this time, been resisted by the United States, and nothing, so far, has transpired out of which wecan deduce a reason to believe that it is not still adhered to We are, however, free to express a hope that the Government may ultia ately be able to pay the bond holders the money, and be- lieve that it is their sinecre wish so to do, if possible. Tho Japan Treaty. —There is very little wood sense in the current railing of the New York Herald and its kindred journals against the treaty with Japan, because it does not se- sare for our fellow citizens a// they may want y of privileges. Its features are yet y what they were when the same jour nails were shouting peans of praise over it as one of the most important and fortunate di- plomatic achievements of the age. To have the Japanese Government suddenly, ur behest, wholly to ignore its policy of many c with reference to the presence of strangers in its empire, and the intercourse of its people with foreign nations, is simply proof of want of common sense on the part of those entertaining such an idea. The treaty, though it did not provide that persons like Messrs. Doty and Richardson, of California, maay establish themselves in Japan, as resi- dent (American) merchants, bas certainly se- curcd for our business interests in that quarter many important privileges never before en- joyed by foreigners in Japan, with perhaps, the exception of the Dutch. it is now the policy of this Government, clearly to our mind, to submit tothe very strict construction which the Japanese are disposed to place on some of the articles of the treaty; and tw do so frankly and gracefully. And when it bas thus shown that its purpose is not to make questionable exactions under pretence ‘that the treaty pledges the Emperor to accord them, and that the commercial intercourse be- tween the two peoples fur which the treaty provides is really beneficial to Japan, with- Out cn \ougering the integrity of the Empire, She provability is that the existing privileges under the treaty will, by degrees, be greatly and profitably enlarged. The foundation for a mine of wealth for our merchants and man- ufacturers was laid in the treaty, and great caution is necessary on the part of our author- ities to eventually enable our commerce to realize it. Anything like American filibus- tering in trade in that country should, and probably will, be promptly and emphatically discouraged and prevented by the United States authorities, as being extremely danger- ous to the fature of our commercial intercourse with the Empire. The Perrin Case.—Some months ago we took occasion to explain the condition of the public accounts of Mr. Edward A. Perrin, late Navy Agent at Memphis, Tenn. The contro- versy between the United States and the Planter’s Bank of Tennessee, on one side, and Mr. P. on the other, has just terminated be- fore the U.S. Court in New York, when the ollowing judgment was rendered, which ex- plains the case: The Court said, in substance, that the whole question in this case was whether acertain sum of $5,000 paid by Mr Perrin, Navy Agent, to the Planters Bank of Tennessee, was to be ap- plied to a certain bill held by the bank against one John L. Saffarans, a contractor in the Memphis Navy Yard, or whether it was such @ payment and made under such cireum- stances as would warrant the cashier to apply the funds to an old debt due the bank for oth- er items claimed by the bank or due from Mr. — either in his private capacity as Navy nt. ‘he Court then charged that if the fund was Government money sent by the Department to pay off the Saffa-ans bill, and ifthe Bank had reason to know that such was the case, either from specific direction or circumstances caleu- lated to give that knowledge, then the fund must be so credited; and it was not necessary for such knowledge to be given at the time the money was paid, if it could be inferred by other circumstances occurring previous to that time. And the Court further charged Nhat if the Bank knew that those were Government funds, (which was s question of fact for the jury to determine,) then no subsequent consent by Mr. Perrin could change the payment to an: invidual account due the Bank in his individ- ual capacity. The jury found for the defendant. The judgment was then entered in Mr. Perrin’s favor and against the United States. Under this decision the Government loses nothing whatever. The bank is the proprietor of the Saffarans claim, which this judgment affirms to have been cancelled (as against the Government) by Mr. Perrin’s deposite in the bank to cover it; which deposite was diverted by the bank to Mr. Perrin’s credit on an old personal account, on which Mr. P. has con- stantly contended that he owed the bank no- thing. The judgment, by-the-by, is also equivalent to affirming that the Government owes Mr. P. a balance of about $1,600. “Mr. Greeloy and the Heavy Bag.”—The editor of the New York V'ridwne has the “ ex- elusive’’ information that Mr. Donn Piatt, United States Secretary of Legation at Paris, has ‘resigned his post?’ and understands that “ some trouble about the transmission of private letters in the dispatch bags is at the bottom’? of this resignation. The Tribune may be correct in its statement ef Mr. Piatt’s resignation, and cf the reasons for it; but, if 80, we are without knowledge of it. But if it be true that Mr. P. has resigned, and the abuse of the ‘dispatch bags’ is at the “ bot- tom’”’ or has any thing to do with the matter, we should think, from what has been current here for some time, that the editor of the Tribune would get some very important, 2s well as very interesting information on the subject, on making inquiry of the dispatch agent or the collector of customs at New York. We are inclined to thiak, from rumors abroad, that possibly there may be something of more consequence at the “ bottom’’ of the matter than the mere transmission of either the “Red” or ‘‘ Black Republican”’ letters of the editor from the ‘ Prison of Clichy,’’ which, he admits, were sent from Paris in the “ bags of the embassy.’ He says he brought over a “heavy bag.”’ Can this be the bag which, it is rumored, has finally got into the hands of the collector? That is said to be a“ heavy” one. Will Friend Grecley inquire as to its contents, and ict us know ” Lieutonant Maffitt.—The fact that Lieut. Jno. N. Maffitt, oneof the “ reserved’? Na- vy Officers, has been ordered to re-engage in the discharge of the duties in connection with the Coast Survey, in which he was engaged when reserved by the President, in pursuance of the report of the late naval officers, (which fact is being commented on in the newspapers) does not restore him to his late position, in the line of promotion. We apprebend that the Secretary has no power under the law to ree instate any officer to the line of promotion, who has been placed on the “ reserved list,’’ in pursuance of a law of Congress. Fortunate.—A depredation was committed on the U. S.-mail between Dubuque and lowa City on the 12thinst. The robbers had managed to abstract from the evach, the mail bag made up at the former office for Cedar Rapids, Iowa, containing enclosures of great value. One package supposed to contain $10,000, was among the plunder. We are happy, however, te add that through the ac- tivity and vigilance of Judge Corkery, the Postmaster of Dubuque, the robber has been arrested and all his booty recovered. Mr. John Y. Mason.—Private letters from Paris represent the physical condition of the Hon. John Y. Mason, the American minister at that capital, to be much more feeble than the public imagine, we apprehend. It is said that such has been the effect of paralysis upon him that he requires to be propped up when sitting at table.

Private letters from Portsmouth inform us that that city is fast filling up with returned refugees, with but little or no sickness among them; the few sick are convalescing, and business is about commencing. In Norfolk, tho prospect is not so encour- aging, some stubborn cases of the yellow fever yet remaining, with an occasional new case being reported ; and, in consequence, the refugees from that city are advised not to re- tarn until about the Ist of November. The steamer Augusta, on the James river, between Richmond and Norfolk, on Wednes- day last extended her trip to her dock in tte latter city, thus becoming the pioneer in the resumption of direct communication between the fever district and other localities. To answer to a correspondent, we have to say that the public have not as yet been ap- prised of the time when the Baltimore boats will resume their trips through to Norfolk, and thus relieve the returning refugees of the heavy tax and loss of time consequent upon ascending the Nansemond river to Suffolk, and thence to Norfolk ard Portsmouth by railroad. The company will, no doubt, make the fact known by advertisement. Quick Worx.—The Norfolk News chronicles atarriage, a few days since, between a widow and widower—the husband of the former hav- ing been dead two weeks—and the spouse of the latter deceased five weeks previous. Stint Opening.—One after another the places of business of our merchants. Norfolk will yet do a big business this fall, all croak- ing to the contrary, notwithstanding. From the New York Times. Free Love Nowhere—The “Club” Broken up by the Police. The Free-Love Club is broken up—its glory departed—its leaders in prison—its funds in possession of the Police—its “ attractions’’ ended. The Police Tiursday evening made a de- the premises occupied by the Club Broadway, over Taylor’s Saloon, and arrested Albert Brisbane, the well known t, and three others, who wore confined during the night. The event created intense excitement in the vicinity. The particulars are as follows : The usual Thursday mecting of the Club took place lust evening. At the appointed hour, 5 o’clock, the regular members who at- tend punctually wefe duly on hand. They were followed in the space of two hours by a great crowd of mon, young uad old, who were in search of novelties, and found them before the evening was over. There were probably upward of three hundred persons present, first and last, during the entertainment. Many of these were very young men. Many were old men, gray haired and venerable, who embraced Free Love doctrines fervently. All went on quietly until about 84 o'clock, when speaking wascommenced. Mr. Henry Clapp, who is a rominent spokesman for the Socialtsts, led off. ire made a violent speech in denunciation of the press of this city. Mr. Albert Brisbane followed him in 4» harangue, in which he de- elared that New York’s chief institution is Mercer street, and that without that locality New York would not be what itis; it would be simply a dull city of merchants. Mr. Brisbane's remarks were received with decided disfavor, and it was feared that he would be assaulted before he could leave the room. Two Police Captains, Capt. Turnbull, of the Kighth, and Capt. Kissner, of the Fourteenth Wards, happened to be among the audience during the delivery of Mr. Brisbane’s speech; having dropped in to take gn observa- tion, in consequence of complaints which had been entered against the establishment by Mr. Taylor, and others doing business in that vi- cinity. The gatherings had been complained of as disorderly in their character, and there were rumors afloat that the house had been brought to the notice of the grand jury. These facts induced the Captains of the Eighth and Fourteenth Wards to concert measures in suppressing the concern. Early in the eve- ning, a crowd ues to collect about the doors of the saloon, and the business of the adjoin- ing houses was seriously interfered with. Capt. Turnbull observed among the crowd, a num- ber of suspicious character, known to the po- lice, and considered that the proper time had arrived for interfering with the performances up stairs. J After Brisbane had concluded his speech, Capt. Turnbull heard a scufile in the hall, went out to see what was the matter, and found the doorkeeper, Mr. Thomas Harland, clinched with a Mr. Cockefair. Cockefair made acharge of assault and battery against Harland and upon this charge it became Captain Turnbull’s duty to take Harland into custody. Harland resisted; Captain Turnbull called for assistance, several citizens stepped forward, and Harland was taken down stairs and putin charge, to be conveyed'to the Eighth Wa: Station-house. ‘Two brothers, John Henderson and Benjamin Henderson, who came to the rescue of Harland, were likewise arrested for interference with the officers in the discharge of their duties. Mr. Brisbane himself came out to see what the trouble was, and was arrested by Captain Turnbull on a charge of disorderly conduct, and was also conducted to the Station-house. The scene that followed these arrests bafjes any description. ‘There was no longer any passignal attraction.”’ Lt was all Pomona’ repulsion. everal highly respectable gontle- men, well known in ihe Jiterary world and in jities, sought to make a 3; ly exit. The oliee Captains stood by door, warning the company to disperse quietly, and the ladies hurried to their dressing room to recover hats and shawls, and then rushed out to find their escorts. Nervous young gentlemen, destitute of hats and bemoaning rent gloves and de- parted overcoats, dashed about to add to the confusion. Mr. Stephen Pearl Andrews, the financial and reformatory mover in the enter- prise, was absent for the first time since the organization of the Club, suffe under se- vere illness. A large number of ladies were present,—strong-minded women, who came to reason philosophically, and found to their sor- row, that philosophy @id not work. At 9} o’clock precisely, the gas was turned off in the larger room ; fifteen minutes later, the entire premises were in darkness. {n Broadway, around the doors of Taylor's small saloon, and thickly packed upon the sidewalks fer nearly the distance of a block, stood an to see crowd, who had got wind of the fun that was to be heard of above, and who watched with intense eagerness the egress of one victim after another in the relentless grasp of the police. As the female members of the Club emerged from the doors, like a flock of frightened sheep chased by wolves, the police following closely in their track, the crowd raised loud shouts— “Make way for the ladies,”’ “Here they come,” ‘Three cheers,” ‘‘Let us see ’em,’’ “Hoo-rar for the Free Lovers,’’ &e., &c., &e.
