EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: TFEURSDAY.... ........- ssee+-November 8. SPikir OF THE MORNING PREss. The Intelligencer calls for the publication of the Secretary of War’s opinion or original decision upon Gen. Scott's back pay question; end on the authority cf European papers says, with reference to the proposed international Congress concerning the Sound Dues question : “The purpose is suppozed to be a temporary arrangement. so as to avert auy inconvenience which taigut arise out of the approaching ter- mination of the treaty with ‘he United States.

The Elections.—We have nothing from Mas- sachusetts to change our impression of yester- day, that Gardiner (Know Nothing) has been re-elected Governer by a plurality of between ten and fifteen thousand votes. His entire vote, however, will hardly reach one-third of the whole vote polled. NEW YORK. Our belief is that the Republicans have car- tied New York, without actually throwing a third of all the votescast. The Know Noth- ings will be next to them, and the Softs third. The Hards are nowhere. The real strength of the Hards is shown by the vote for Sutherland. for Attorney General as he wason no other ticket. He runs 5000 votes behind Aaron Ward in the city, W be- ing on the liquor dealers’ ticket, as well as on that of the Hards. So 5000 votes is about the power of rum in the city of Gotham. MARYLAND. As far as returns have reached us from Ma- ryland, the Know Nothings have carried things their own way, beating May, Var- sant, and Hamilton. Up to 1} p. m. the votes in neither Vansant’s nor May’s district had been fully canvassed, though enough was then known to satisfy the immediate friends of those gentlemen that the polls will show some 200 majority against Vansant, and 800 over May. The Know Nothings in Baltimore think that Hamilton is beaten nearly 1,000 votes. From the district sourrounding Washington, we have but a single report, cf seventy me- jority for Bowie (anti-Know Nothing) fur Con- gress, at the Colesville precinct, in Montgome- ry county. However, we have ceased to hope for favorable returns from any part of Ma- ryland. At the hour at which we close this article. the telegraph has brought us nothing to-day from Louisiana, Wiseonsin, or Mississippi. EG Seo telecraphie eclumn for the latos( election returns. Massachuset's aad New York.—The resul: in New York, asin Massachusettz, settles the question, that upon the live issues of the day the very last born organization—the new Re- publican party—cannot possibly win in the st Presidential cicction. It stood wholiy cu two points—opposition to the prineiple «f the Nebraska bill, and to the admission of any more slave States. As faras we are able to judge at this time, on this platform it has not been able to poll at most one third of the votes in the two States above named, where it should have overwhelming strength to have reasonable hope to win the Presidency. This is fixed fact—one not to be blinked out of sight of the world. The effort is already be ing made by the New York Timvs and other sympathizing journals, to claim the Know Nothing vote in those States as substantially agreeing with the Republicans upon the two live questions aforesaid. That idea, however, is sheer gammon. Ly beth, the leaders of the prez- eut Know Nothing party are more intensely hos- tile to the Repubtican part§ than to any other. Though in some cases for pelitical effect, they (the K. N. leaders) have endeavored to con- cecal their favor for the Philadelphia platform no where have they failed to express intense hostility to the Republiean leaders and their organization, Governor Gardiner, though not long since pretending to be a stronger aboli- tionist than Senator Wilson, and though for hie vwn benefit he concocted the infamous personal liberty bill, has no abolitiouism in his heart, kaving been before he became as intensely am- bitious as he is selfish, a Webster Silver Gray Whig. If he aud his followers are forced to choose between Presidential eandidates—one standing against the admission of another slave- holding State, and « the right of the people of the Territories to choose institutions for themselves, an-l the other /vr those due- trines, they will be found voting for the latter. This is well understool in Massachusetts, and in itse:f caused the nomination of Rockweil over him by the Republicans, who permitted Kaow Nothingism only to ride on its shoulders into place. We presume that no sane man will now doubt th the Know Nothing organiza- ion proper of New York is inteasely against the principles of the new Republican party one :4ell: simost as thoroughly against them as the Democratic party in Virginia. All ef- forts to argue to the contrary—and there will be many such essayed by way of accountiug for their woeful minority in which the Repub- liecans of New York find themselves—will be the sheerest attempts to deceive the distant public conciev able, The upshot of the election in those States is proof positive that abotitionism cannot wia in the next Presidential contest, under whatever guise it may seek victory under the lead of the controiling spirits of the present Republi- can party. The struggle is now narrowing down rapidly to the two issues which we mention first above. The Cincinnati National Democratic Conyeu- tion will nominate on the platform upon which ils Democratic party bas gained all ita vieto- ties of the past your, which in themselves are Well nigh sufficient to decide the Presidential electioa in its favor. The Philadelphia plat- form Know Nothings will be compelled to choose between an a!l.nce with the Rey ub- lican party, or wo vote fur the Democratic nominees; as meagre plera/ty victories in two or three States, wits possibly a majority in Louisiana and Keutuosy, will not be exflicient to justify its managers iu going into a national cc atest. The Approaching Season.—1i cannot now be duabted that the next winter in Washing- ton is tobe marked by the sojourn among us of a much larger throng of fashionable and wealthy people from a distance, not connected with Congress, than ever before. The signs point to the probability that thousands on thousands will come and go ere summer again seta im, as the same class cf persons are in the Febit ef visiting Saratoga, wport, Cape May, Old Point, and other cuch places in their season. This is asitsLoull be. Washington, during the sessions of Congress, offers more at- teractions te persons ef wealth, taste, and lei- surv, than any other spot in the wold, save Peris. The expenses of living here, so that the stransr ‘aay enjoy the familiar society of the distinguished per ous, American ond for- eign, in American public life, are not more than half the pecuniary cost of sejourning in either London or Paris, in the style necessary to enable one to enjuy the society of the lite- rati and men of distinguizhed reputation as savens and civilians in either capital. To anticipation of the rash to Washington of Ukove to wom wo refer above, the empres- sarios of our great hotels Lave for the last theee months been straining every nerve to place thefr various establishments on a foot- ing wish the moet celebrated houses in either hemisphere. Already many of those who are to give so much brilliancy to Washington s0- ciety this winter, have engaged their quarters for the season. Willard’s, which has been refitted and al- most refurnished from top to bottom, has also been perhaps doubled in its capacity to ac- commodate an army of guests, by the erection of a large rear building, and the junction of the old Mension house (not long since pur- chased by the Messrs. Willard) to the main hotel. This addition has been fitted up, hav- ing been almost rebuilt in a style in keeping with the magnificence and comfort of their original house. As heretofore, that establish- ment bids fair to be thronged with persons (and their families) who have made their re- spective marks on the history of their times. Indeed, a large number of such persons have already engaged quarters there. Among them we perceive tho names of the Hon. Reverdy Johnson and lady; Hon. Lewis Cass and daughter; Hon. William Wright, lady and daughter; Hon. F. L. Foster and lady; Hon Mr. Stranahan, lady and daughter; Hon. Benjamin F. Butler and lady ; Hon. A. Wake- man; Judge Curtis, lady and daughter; Judge Gilchrist, laly and daughter; Hon. Mr. Wood, lady and daughter; Hon William Murray; Hon. B. Pringle, lady and daughter; Hon. Russell Sayr; Mon. 8. G. Haven, lady and daughter; Hon. Alexander De Witt; Hon E. Clark; Hon. Mr. Woodruff; Hon. E. B Morgan, lady and daughter; Hon. Mr Flag- ler; Com. Paine and daughter; Com. Smoot and lady. California furveys.—Tho Surveyor Uener- al’s eunual report and estimates have reached the Genera! Land Offive, accompanied by « very iutercsiing topographical map of the whole State. It represents the various rivers, va - and mountain ranges, in connection with public surveyed lines, and the fields new surveying operations recom- mende. for the next fiscal year. I is re- inarka ., that the second standard para!- lel nor’. of the “ Mont Diablo” meridian has been su:: -yed east to the source of the Ameri- can riy'- nearthe summit of the Sierra Ne- vada, tbe noint where, it will be remembered, the energetic Col. Fremont and his followers in his firet expedition, only a few yours since, turrounded by snow walls, were reduced to the last extremity ‘cing compelled to sua- tain nature on ‘‘mule soup’’ for several days. Strange instance of American progress, that the deputy surveyor should now, at leisure and in safety, stretch his chain where such harrowing scenes wore so recently enacted. The Mont Diablo principal base line, about sixty miles south cf the above, has also been extended east entirely across the Sierra Ne- vada to the bottom of “Carson's Valley,’’ running into Utah Territory, which no doubt will attract many settlers that way. The Results —No one in Wasbington—not even the mostsanguine disciple of “‘Sam’’—en- tertained, seriously, the idea that the young fellow would show signs of vigorous life in New York; it being supposed that the battle there was to be between the Softs and the Fu- sionists. Relying rather on the facts and representations of the Journal of Commerce, usually so well posted with reference to elec- tions, we adopted thatimpression. Indeed, to such a condition of charming perplexity have the affairs of the Democratic party in New York come, that we rejected the estimates of its leaders altogether, aod pinned our faith to the iuformation on which the Jowrial of Com- merce seemed to be basing its statements, which latter accorded, t» « charm, with the boasts of Prince John, who has proved himself quite a3 great a brag-art, as be is, notorious- ly, a charlatan in poli Overpaymonts.—A soldier had been inad- Vertently overpaid by the paymaster, and such overpayment had been noted on the muster roll by the commanding officer, and direstions given that it be withheld from the soldier's pay for the benefit of the paymaster. Before any subsequent payment had been made, the soldier doserted with a considera- ble sum due him, which, by law and regula- tion, was forfeited to the United States. The paymaster claimed to huve the overpayment reimbursed to him out of the unpaid balance, but it was held that as the whole balanee clearly reverted to the United States, if no overpayment had been made, the paymaster had no rightful claim to be compensated out of the funds of the United States for the loss oceasioned by his‘own error. Lively Times —For the last twenty-four hours Washington has been in a condition of excitement difficult to be roalized by those not within its limits. Of course all this has been with reference to the recent elections, which in their results have fairly baffled the caloula- tions of all parties who pride themselves on being shrewd and usually correct calculators in such cases, in advance of the actual voting.
