EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: BSATURDAY.......... ...December 1, 1855, THE WEEKLY STAR for this week is more than usually interesting. ‘Terms—$I 25a year, or three cents a single wopy- SPIRIT 9f THE MORNING PRE28. The Ur-ion continues its discussion of John Ven Buren with the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Columbus (Ohio) Statesman; and essays an explanation of the facts involved in the difficulty with reference to the claim of the Hon. Lyman Trumbull to the vacant seat in the U. 8. Senate, from Illinois, which we dis- cuss elsewhere to-day. The Intelligencer thinks that England went unadvisedly into the war, and that her Gov- ernment finding themeelves in it failed to prosecute it at first with the energy becoming England's power and position. The same paper compliments the Journal ef Commerce for the stand it has taken to in- duce the Administration to be content to let Mr. Crampton remain here. 2» oe WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Mr. fenetor Trumbull.—It is alleged that the Governor's certificate of election, is not ne- wessary in making up the prima facie evidence of the right of a member elect to a seat in the United States Senate, to enable him to take ‘his seat in that body, the certificate of the officers of the legislature choosing him being, at times, used instead. It is further said that the Senate, in the case of Merriwether rs. Dixon, settled the main point in issue in Mr. Trumbull’s favor, admitting the right of the people of Illinois to change the United States Senatorial elec- tion qualification as provided in the constitu- tion of the United States. We have ne idea, however, that the United States Senate will look beyond the constitution of the United States as to the question of eligibility, and the certificate of election, whatever that may be, provided it proves a tona fide and indis- putable election, to far as thatfact is con- cerned. The idea of the acknowledgement <f apy rule of construction that may make a distinct rule of eligibility to the United States Senate operative in each of the United States, 18 preposterous; because it involves eventual ehaes, confusion, illegality, and a disregard ef the obligations imposed by, and the rights guarantied in the constitution of the United States. As for the matter of the certificate—that is simply a question of form. The purpose of a certificate is simply to secure proof of his election by those who, under the constitution, may rightfully elect. itis of no importance, we take it, how that proof is made, so that it Be satisfacterily made. As the subject of Senator Trumbull’s right to the seat to which he has been elected, is just now one on which much conversation takes place in political circles here, we have looked into it, and have come to the conelu- sivns stated above. The circumstances out of which the pending question arises are ag fol- lows, vig. There is a clause in the constitu- tion of Lilinois declaring that no judge of the circuit or supreme court of the State shall be eligible to any other State office whatever, or to either house of Congress, from that State, until the expiration of a year or a year and a half after the end of the term for which he shall have been elected ajudge. Senator Trumbull resigned his judgeship, and, near two years afterwards, but before the end of the term for which he was chosen to that office was elected, first to the House of Representa- tives, and shortly afterwards to the U. 8S. Senate; and he presents himself to the Senate bearing the certificate of the officers of the Legislature, that he was chosen by that body to be one of its (the U. S. Senate's) members. Candidates. —The Boston Datly Advertiser, though consistently opposed to the Hon Mr. Banks, advoeates his election to the Speaker- ship with great carnestness, saying— ‘* Massachusetts has a candidate for the Speakership to offer in the person of Hon. Na- thaniel Banks, jr., the eblest member of her delegation, and a gentleman of much ability and parliamentary experience. Mr. Banks, although a young man, has twice been chosen Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Re; resentatives, a body numbering four hundred inembera, where the post of the presiding of- fiver is no sinecure. Here he proved himself in the discharge of the duties of the office, a worthy successor of Daniel P. King, Robert C. Winthrop, Samuel H. Walley, and the other distinguished men who have occupied the chair in former times. When the conyen- tion for the revision of the constitution assem- bled in 1553, embrecing among its members retired statesmen called back from the shades of private life; judges summoned from the bench, and politicisns of great experience— Mr. Banks, although one ofthe youngest dele- gates, was elected to be its President, and he diseharged the duties of the position with sig- nal ability.” Te find such a journal as the Boston Adver- teser earnestly advocating his election, is the highest compliment that can be paid to the abilities and personal character of Mr. Banks. The Philadelphia Argus says of the eontest for the Clerkskip “There seems to be, we hear from various and reliable sources, a well settled conviction that Wm. V. McKean, E: Pennsylvania, at present the able and ett ient Chief Clerk, willbe the nomi of tue Democratic mem- bers for Clork of the House of Representatives of the United States. It will be a just tribute to « faithful public servant If elected, Mr. MeKeun will bring to the position industry, integrity aud qualifications unsurpassed by any incumbent previously chusen to the im- portant position. We heartily wish him sue- cess. Not a word is uttered in this brief para- graph concerning the morits and qualifica- tions of Mr. McKean, which is not literally true, as all here are well aware who have noted the manner of hig discharge, for years past, of the most important functions of the chicf clerk of the Clerk of the Houce. He has made every one his friend with whom he has been thrown in contact in the discharge of his duties, except those whose purpore was to do wrong —aud that they have no taste what- ever ior Lim, is his highest praise. We als» perceive that many Democratic Pa persin Virginia are urging the claims of A. D. Banks, Evq., editor of the Petersburg South Side Democrat. We look upon this gentleman as being. intellectually, and in point of true dignity and emphasis of charac- ter, the very first man of his age in the United States. Searce twenty-two years of age, he has been for some four years the very able conductor of a newspaper, now sec- ond to no other in the influence it wields toreugheut the State. On the stump, the “tots hardly contains a more effective orator and logician, and in the practical business ailsirs of life, his career kas been a display of energy, sagacity, effective judgment, such as rarely marks the business habits of a man with less than twen- ty years experience in the world. The Bark Maury Business.—Tho fact of Mr. Consul Barclay's connection with Eng. land’s late flare-up, despite his solemn pro- testations of having had no connection what- ever with it, has been proved to be substan- tially what we said it was long since, by the official publication on the subject since made. There is yet an appearance of mystery hang- ing over the matter, however, which the world would like to see cleared up, that is with ref erenee to the solution of the question—how game the English consul to turn his attention to the bark Maury, in the first instance? It strikes us that tho following is the key to it. Mr. Stanley, Mr. Barclay’s secretary is the ostensible man in all the fillibustering arrange- ments of the consulate, and is now under in- dictment for his share of them, which may fairly be considered his employer’s—Mr. Bar- clay’s share also. We do not doubt that it was he who suggest- ed te Mr. B’s. legal adviser the importance of kicking up the counter dust about detecting ships being fitted out as Russian privateers at New York. The counsel of the consul has in hig employment the son of Mr. Cornell, tho police officer who was employed in behalf of the consulate to nose out circumstances on which the desired dust might be ra&%ed. Cor- nell in his testimony says that the lodging of the information arose from the act of the second mate of the Maury, in quizzing him when he went to her in search of discoveries likely to meet the case of his employors. It is doubtless true that Mr. Consul Barclay, in person, had little to do withthe matter. But his private secretary having been the main man throughout the affair, and acting, tco, only in the capacity of Lis agent, he, and he only, is the person justly liable to be held ac- countable for all the trouble that has grown out of his act. The Caldron—vvils, just now, right merrily. We never befure, in the course of our long experience at tho foderal eity, saw it bubbling up at a rate sv furious Tho well known managing mew in and out of Congress have their hands full; while the tflice seekers, the very best fellows in the world to every body just now, are, each set, kindly superintending, as it were, the labors of each squad of mana- gers aforesaid to which its fortunes, for the time being, are attached. Everything is in “pt.”’ There is really no telling whe has tke slightest chance tw be elected to anything, ex- cept to the Clerkship, and all seem to conceive that General Cullom is to win that post on the first ballot. An impression, however, is becoming prevalent among the knowing ones, that the National Know Nothings are not to bo coaxed to vote for a Speaker who is really the candidate of the Republicans, however adroitly it may be ossayed to conceal that fact until after the election. We fuund many, this morning, who are usually regarded as chrewd observers in such matters, resting under the belief that it will probably be a week at least before a Speaker can be chosen, so very de- cided is the determination cf the Southern Know Nothings, und those of their party from the North who really sympathize with them, net to aid in fastening on the Louse an organ- ization bent on carrying out the views of Messre. Weed and Greeley, of the fitness of things. The Indian War in Oregon and Wash- ington.—By turning to the fifth volume of Sehooleraft’s Statistics and Indian History, whieh has just been received at the Indian Office from the publi-hers, we learn that the entire Indian population of Oregon, at this time, is but 6,068. This is divided into thirty- two bands, situated between the north bound- ary of California and the Columbia river— p. 492. The strength of the tribes of Waeh- ington Territory is 14,950, living in fifty-seven armed bands, who ere scattered over a wide surface. Along the Pacific coast, from the north boundary of Washington Territory to the Rus- sian possessions, cxtending from lat. 49 deg. to 54 deg. 40 min., these tribes posses 10,150 canoes, capable of coasting along the shores and inlets, and have 3,210 guns. These latter are exclusively supplicd by the Hudson Bay Company. Doubtless they would sympathise with the Oregon and Washington Indians, and they would furnish a shelter to any fugitives who might take shelier there. It is believed that of the gross Indian population of Oregon and Washington (20,619) more than 1,500 could take the Geld, and maintain active hos- tilities a long time, and this force could never, by the Indian system, be organized in a body and subsisted. A Chance for Col. Benton Yet.—We have very recent news from the seat of government of Missouri, by private letter, which leads us to think it not all improbable, that our fellow citizen, Col. Bentun, may again be elected to the U. S. Senate from that State. We hear from theuce that very recently his friends in the Legislature ifered to unite with the Whigs in effecting senatorial elections, pledging thom- selves to vote for any Whig to fill one of them, to be designated by a Whig caucus, if the latter would vote for Col. Benton, to fill the other. This proposition was rejected, and the Whigs subsequently made an offer to the Democrats of the body to vote forMr Atchi son to fill one, if they (the Democrats) would vote for the Whig nominee, whoever he may be, to fillthe other. This tender was also de- clined. Subsequently, thc Bentonians and Whigs were again in consultation, on the sub ject, with a prospect of coming to some satis- factory understanding We shall await fu:- ther advices from that quarter with no little interest. Messrs. Horace Greeloy and Thurlow Weed—were among the arrivals in Washing- ton yesterday. As those intellectual gentlc- men—for such they rcally are—are accus- tomed, through their respective presses, to denounce, without stint, the system of man- agement in pelitical and public affairs, attrib- uted to the lobby in this city, it is to be pre- sumed (over the left) that neither of them will “‘take a hand’’ in shaping the action of their political friends of the House, next week. Rew Land Offices, &c., in Kansas and Ne- braska.—Instructions and public notice bear. ing date 26th instant, have beenissued under an order of the President, for the location of the Land Office cf the “Omaha District” at “Omaha City’? on the Missouri river, the seat of government of Nebraska Territory, and of the affice for the “Pawnee District’’ and the Surveyor General's Office (at present at Wyan- dott) at ‘Le Compton,” on the Kansas river, the seat of government for the Territory of Kansas.

T., Oct. 25, 1855. Mr. Epiton: We are all well—only very much excited. We are in close proximity with hostile Indians, who threaten a descent upon tho settlement where wo reside, and wo do not feel ourselves free from dangor night or day. Most of tho inhabitants are drawing to laces of supposed security, and are construct- af, block-howses at convenient points. Tho militia are being mustered into the Govern- ment service. You will observe, by the pa- pers which are published here, detailed ac- counts of the many murders which have al- ready been committed by the sav Ihave long perceived that this time would como—and the Lord only. knows what will be the end. These tribes of Indians are, to a man, well armed with the best of guns, and have an abundance of ammunition; and from child- hood have been taught their use. Our donation law has placed us as tenants in common with the Indians. We cceapy the svmo grounds, and in many instances resort to the same moans of support. We have many white men among us who do not regard the rights of the Indian or his life moro than the life of a wolf. The Indians east of the Cas- cade range of mountains are determined that the white man shall not occupy their country as he has the west side, and have called upon the Indians west of that range to join thom in aclean extermination of the whites in both Territories. Many have joined th m, and such as have not joined desire to remain neutral. T.¢ Indians in my immediate neighborhood have been ordered to Fort Vancouver for pro- tection. About one half have gone or are going up; but the balance will join the disaf- fected and become guides to cur homes at the tine appointed for the general attack. I visited St. Helens last night with ily, which was tho first time we have left, and we return again this morning; but nd to remain here in the daytime only until @ force be raised for our protection. It is reported that the Indian force now in the ficld east of the Cascade mountains, on the north side of the Columbia river, is three thousand, and that the force moving against thom is about one thousand. The two forces are expected to meet in about one week. In the mean time the Indians among us aro in Sreat commotion, and a genoral war is ex- pected, which will require the services of every man. c. fam- Its Immolation.—The Baltimore American.
