ty EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY> PREGA Y 00. co .cceceeere eenees November 9 Svisi? OF THE MORNING PRE3s. Tho Union, in reply to the Intelligencer's alleged wonder how any question could have arisen that called for the expression of an offi- cial opinion of the Attorney General on States rights, says, ve-y properly : “* We, on the ether hand, it the expres~ siee of ovr wonder, bow it is that persons of inteliigence and experience should now, for Le ; become aware of the fact that branch of public law are pre- lly. growing out of disputed lieations for extradition, prose- ©s, grants of public land for ements, policies, regulations, tien, condemnation of prop- aseenger laws, licens® eservetion of public domain for 1 purposes, and a leng list of "r matters involving conflict of jurisdiction between the United States and’ individual States.” The same paper, in arguing that common sense is fast destroying the influence of tho “iss,” thus concisely and appropriately states the character and aims of the two leading ones of the day: “Brom the wicked absurdity which seeks to Lberate the slave without providing for him .iterwerds, to the wretched attempt to keop a man fres after ke has been stripped of bis political rights, they are a succession of the bale nd most unmanly delusions that have n offered to the investigation of an internal impr tights of navi erty fur publi: a law: telligencer says, with great force, of th aliin M ‘husetts : ts, where fir the first timo bas been allowed todecide Nothings have main- + re "Y—not, as will be ccen, beeauze they h polied a majority of the votes. but because their opponents could not i ited apon a single ticket.

The Elections. —In the Third Congressional District of Maryland, the mojority for Harris (Know Nothing) over Vanéant, is 21; Balti- more county having given him 153 majority. In the Fourth district Davis (Know Nothing) for Congress defeats May (Demoorat) by a ma- jority of 524 votes. It was not known at noon to-day, in Wasb- ington, whether Dennis (Know Nothing) or Stuart (Democrat) is elected to Congress in the First District. : In the Second district, Ricaud (Know Noth- ing) has beaten Shower (Democrat) by alarge In the fifth district Hoffman, (Know Noth- ing,) is elected by a large majority over Ham- ilton, (Democrat.) In the sixth district, we think Bowie, (Anti- Know Nothirg,) has beaten Watkins, (Know Nothing ) Howard county gave the latter 241 majority. In Prinve George's Bowie's majority is between 250 and 330, and in Mont- gomery from 25 to 50. NEW JERSEY. The Democrats have carried the Legislature of this State and a large majority of the Cour.- ty officers by greatly increased majorities. — These were the only offices in issus. NEW YORK. The returns received in Washington from New York, to-day, look better, somewhat, for the Know Nothings, though we have not yet secn anything in them to induce us to change our opiniva of yesterday, that the Republi. cans will, in the end, be found to lead all the ethers. The Democrats have probably elected theiv candidate for Judge of the Court of Ap- peals, and the Know Nothings theirs for Secre- tary of State—the rest of the State officers eiveted being Republicans. This, however, is eur mere opinion, deduced from a mass of con- fused and fragmentary returns. WISCONSIN. The Democrats have elected their candidate for Governor (Barstow) by a kandsome ma- jority. MASSACHUSETTS. Gardiner (Kuow Nothing) has been re-elest- ed Governor by about 15,060 imajority ; and in beatin oppesition to gee both branches of the Legislature they wil! says the Boston | bave a fair working majority.

FF" See telegrephic column fer the late clestion retarns. ugliest “mugs’’ to be seen ssylvauia avenue just now, are deci these of the D. erats, mostcf whom y evening last, as pleased chips.” Thatis, since the memorable Virginia election. They (the Democrats.) sro, however, just now avery for- Jorn looking set of mortals indeed, earzying themselves as though having lost all their friends; and, between you and [, reader, not » few of them—much of their money. We do not comprehend why they should fret and take on so, in view of the fact that their party have fzirly carried by majority votes, the feazon’s elections, almost States enough, in- eluding Connecticut, Indiana, Ilinois, and New Jersey, (where they have triumphed in State clections over the vote of all their oppo- nents combined,) to insure them the next Presidential election. But the few adberents of the Republican pa:ty in Washington, appear little better pleased with the recent trials of strength, than the Democracy. They walk fast, stuff their fists ints their pockets, (after cramming their hats down over their brows,) and wear very indignant countenances indeed; as though by no means pleased with ‘‘all the world and the rest of mankind.’’ They have been shamefa'ly beaten in Pennsylvanix, and carry Onic only by a plurality, while in Massachusetts and New York they have not managed to poll a third of the aggre- gate vete thrown. Indeed, the only State which has certainly given their candidates a majority of all the votes cast, is Khode Island! They have, therefore, cause to iook blge and to be discontented. They (of Washington) were taught to believe not long since, that they had the Northera worldin a sling—that the day of the triumph of abolitionism in a national evncest was surely at hand. But the African twin girls, jolued together | dream has already passed and gore, not evea ashadow cf it being left. Our Kaow Nothing fellow citizens on the othor hand carry themselves 2s jauntily as possible—like the milk maid in the fable—and as though they are now surely to have every- thing in their own way. They aye evidently acting on the tradesmen’s so oft-published principle of being very thankful for small favors. They have mauaged to carry Ken- tucky, Maryland and California by majority votes, and Muissachuvetts, and, it may be, New York, by pluralities, which fail, in both oases, to reach one third of all the votes cast in them. It strikes us that this is esseutially a meagro capital on which seriously to set out to contest a Presidential election; and yet on looking at their jolly “mugs” to-day, cne may fairly imagine that they feel that their Presidential eandi- date is as good as elected—quite. The Future of Walker.—There is no esti- mating in advance the amount of difficulty and trouble which the present attitude and recent success of Walker, the fillibuster, is likely to bring on the Government of the United States, and on our countrymen who may ezéay to croxs the Nicaraguan isthmus, traveling to and from California. Lie reeext reeruits—those through whose assistance he succeeded in taking Granala—joinod him on a promise of $100 per month pay for those in the ranks, and higher pay in due proportion to non-commissioned aad commissioned officors- Preauming that his foree of Americans is now 200 in all, the cost of maintaining his little arwy, if paid according to his engagements, must be at least $30,000 per month. The idea of getting together the means of payifg his men out of his f2w nominal native supporters or their eremies—the party of the late regu- lar government of Nisaragua—is proposterous ; | so, if hisuen are paid, it must be out of the pockets of Americans owning property on the Isthuus, or thoze in transit over it. The last mentioned partier, if robbed and plundered there, will «f course complain to the authori- ties here. Bat if wo aro not mistaken, this govern- ment is prohibited by the terms of the Clay- ton and Bulwer treaty from giving them any assistance whatever, it being agreed with England that neither ean interfere with the ailzirs of Central America, without the con- sent of the other. A repetition of such scenes as have occurred of late over the Nicaraguan isthinus routeof, first, the levying of a head tax by Walker’s men on all the passengers, and, next, firing into the American steamers on Lake Nicaragua, and killing more or less of their passengers, (which was the act of the gov ernment party,) will of course cause the route to be deserted for the time being; when naught will be left for the filibusters to prey on, but the property of resident foreigners, few others having tangible means there The attempt to support the invaders of them will cause claims innumerable to be brought against our government, on the ground that it should have prevented its citizens from marauding on the subjects of those governments with whom we are at peace. All who have noted the unflinching and never-failing exertions of the present Admin- istration to put down fillibustering from within its limits,comprehend the fact that Walker has succeeded in his mischievous projects so far, in spite of their most earnest efforts to the contrary; which have failed through the fail- ure of the California court, or at least the California jury, to enforce the neutrality law of the United States when Walker was tried for his robberies and murders in Sonora; which may be chargeable to Dillon’s obstinacy. The weakness of the lawin that new country—a misfortune of our Governmental system—is really at the bottom of all the difficulty; and it is by no means improbable that it will, in the next ten years, got us into and keep us in interminable trouble with other States on our) borders, or within striking distance of our shores. The truth is, our system was not made for such contingencies. When made, the problem was—how shall we best protect our own territory from the designs of other Governments and their subjects; rather than what is the best metho of protecting the ter- ritory of our neighbors from the raids of law less portions of our own population? Up to this time a remedy has been found in our constitution snd laws for every variety of circumstances occurring. It strikes us, how- ever, tbat a state of things exist just now in Nicaragua for which there is actually no remedy in any of the powers granted cither by the Constitution or Congresa to the execu- tive branch of the Government. P.S. We have not been able to ascertain, this morning, whether there is truth in the telegraphic story that Mr. Buchanan has notified the Government here, that Britain announces’ the Ciayton Bulwer treaty to be at an end, which would involve absolution for us from our obligations under it, above referred to. The Prince.—The very best result of the New York election is the fix in which it ieaves Prinee John Van Buren, than whom no other would-be great man was ever left higher and dryer. Ife is fairly landed up Salt river, far above the rapids—at a point from whence there ia no navigation down stream. His game has been evidently a selfish one, his eyes being fixed on the Senatership which he hoped to reach by carrying water on both choulders—by professing identity with the na- tional Democrats, while endeavoring to make the Free Soilers betieve that, on principle, he was with them. It strikes us that this is the last time those in New York who are really anxious to stand with the national Demoe- racy will be fovled into permitting him to thrust himself in a prominent position among them, for the sake of peace and harinony, which alone prevented them from turaing him and his schemes neck and heels out of their last Syracuse convention. They have been taught a lesson which should, in turn, teach them wisdom. That Fifty Thousand Majority —A Loud Call.—Mr. John Van Buren! Mr. John Van Baren!! Mr. John Van Buren!!! youare so far off, and your hearing, no doubt, rather injured by recent events in New York, that you must excuse us for calling so very loud ; but will you have the goodness to tell us what has become of that fifty thousand majority that so recently you asserted you had safe in your breeches pocket? Everybody here in Washington is curious to know where that great body has gone to, and where they can now be found. As no cne here can answer the question, and as you no doubt can, do pray relieve our anxious aud really reasonable cu- riosity. Impertaut to Newspaper Publishers and Others —It has been decided by the Post Office Department that a mere mark above or around an advertisement or other article in a newspaper, does not subject the newspaper to leer postage ; as by such mark no addi- tional information is either asked for or com- munieated. This, however, should not bo un- derstood as allowing any device to be used by which information is asked for or given. Any devico—a liter or figure, for instance- to in dicate that the period of sabscription has ex- pired, or is about to expire, is a clear violation of law, subjecting the paper to letter postage by weight; and if that is not paid, the post- master of the office of delivery is required to return the paper of the mailing offiee for pros- ecution. The penalty is five dollars. The Now Rogiments.—We boar incidenial- ly that aclause of the law creating the four new regiments of the army cof the United Btates, is construed by the propor authorities so as to provide that of the officera in them, appointed since Conzress adjourned, shall hold their present commissions only “ until May, 1896.” The Current Operations of tho Treasury Dopartment.—On yesterday, 8th November, there were of Treasury Warrants entered on the books of the Department— For the redemption of stocks.... $8.216 41 Por the Treasury Dopartmont.... 1,992 78 For the [anterior Department... 1,756 25 Forthe Customs.....-.seeceseeee 43,497 71 War Warrants received and on- te 61,485 61 335 61 Avsrrattan PropuctorGorp.—Theamount of gold brought down by esvort from the Vic- toria mines during the first six months of the present yeur, had been £3,718,000 against 23,718,000 in the corresponding period of 1854. Owicg to the greater security of the roads, the quantities bronght by private hands would, if they could be ascertained, probably show 2 larger increase. The total shipped in the first half of this year had reached £4 530,000, against £4,310,000 in the ‘tame period of 18545 tg A Convention of Husbands is to be calied, shortly, at Syracuse, New York, to take some measures in regard to fashion. They say, since oy have to support the ex- 3 of fashion, they have an equal right to regulate it. A proposition to raise nothing but boys, in future; is to come before the con- vention. This is to be called the Husbands’ Rights party. EP An exchange perpetrates this piece of downright slander: “It is about as hopeless a task to get a bajar fo ee a life of common sense as it is to geta maa into th bingdom of heavey.”’ ‘ GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE, Gronerrows, Noy 9. 1855, A writer in Tucsday’s Union appears to la- bor undera misapprebension as to the opinion of council in the case of the issues of the Cor- poration of Georgetown. Thatopinion referred exclusively tothe issue and circulation of Cor- ation notes of the denomination of five dol- and upwards. Apy denomination under five dollars is prohibited by t) waahabier pers whether issued by corporations or individuals. ‘The writer of the communication in the Union, seems to understand the opinion of council as referring to the one and two dollar notes issued by Georgetown. Such ia not the fact. The law of Congress prohibits the issuing or cireu- lation of any denomination under five dollars; but does not probibit the issuing or ci of notes of the amount of five dollars or up- wards. An examinationof the law will satisfy any one of this fact. Our market, this morning, was the seene of no little vociferous talk, sallies of wit, and biting jokes, caused by the result of the re- cent State elections. chiefly that in Maryland.

Complaints have become very general of late, especially among ladies, of the very ugly and annoying practice of some genticmen, while riding in the Union line of omnibusses, of putting their feet upon the cushions, or smoking segars in the coach.

We think, however, when we inform them that more than one lady has been greatly annoyed, and had fine dresses serioualy soiled and damaged by it that they will desist from it in the future.
