EVENING STAR. {> Senators ayp RePRtseNtatives who desire to be served with the Star, will please notity the Seoretary of the Senate and Clerk of the House to order it forthem. This must be done tosecure early attention to their re- quests to have it sent to them. oor SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union réprobates Mr. Francis P. Bisir, late of the Washington Globe, with great se- verity, for his recent letter in which he pro- claims himself a member of the Republican party, and abuses the President and the Ad- ministration without stint. The truthis, the letter of Mr. Blair is simply the natural re- sult of the disposition of the lately vacant U. S. Judgeship in this Distriet. The President felt it incumbent on him to fill it in a way that greatly disappointed Mr. Francis P. Blair, whose heart and mind were set upon getting, through the intereessions of others, his son ap- pointed to the place. After the election of Polk some eighty Dem- ceratic members of Congress united in repre- senting to him (Mr. P.) that it would not do to continue Mr. Francis P. Blair in the posi- tion of editor of the party organ at thia point, as he had sacrificed his allegiance to his pre- vious political principles, to his devotion to men who had been using an apparent identi- fication with those principles wholly to their personal advancement. Mr. Polk accordingly dismissed him from his editorial position, which act carried with it the loss of perhaps $25,000 per annum of profits connected with that position. He (Blair) at once turned Free Soiler, and went for the Buffalo candidate in the next succeeding election. Subsequently, he has not professed the slightest sympathy for the Democratic party, except when there might be a chance of getting something “fat”? in the way of office for some one or other of the many persens directly or indirectly identified with him personally. It strikes us that the Administration have done their best to mollify his settled hostility, by listening to petitions in favor of such per- sons; which we have always regarded as being the worst possible policy on its part. This furious tirade of disappointment over the fate of the District Judgeship, strikes us as being simply the result of making him belicve that his political course is of importanee, by con- tinuing to recognise his wishes with reference to the distribution of offices in which he was interested, as worthy of a thought on the part of a Democratic administration. The Ietelligencer is to-day devoted to news, seience, and literature. I PERSONAL. ».»+Ex-Gov. Thomas, collector of custems, Baltimore, Md., Hon. J. B. Thompson, Hon. L. C. Levin, and Hon.

Is it to save that extra dollar that so many of our New York visitors carry bricks in their hats’? . Fionipa.—The Eegislature of Florida is in sezsion, Governor Broome has communicated his annua! message, showing the Teceipts into the State treasury during the last fisca) year to have amounted to $63 364, and the war- rants issued during the same * rg to $55,365 ; showing a deficiency of about $17,. 000. The seere ate indebtedness of the State, ineluding $73,000 contracted in the protection of the frontier from Indian depredations, is $151,372 With a view to the extinguishment of this debt, the establishment of a sinking faud is recommended. There has been a gratifying increase in the population of the State since the last enumeration of inhabitants wasmade. A new era has been inaugurated by the progress of internal improvements in the State. Under the aid afforded by the Le- — last winter, several roads have been lvcated and surveyed, and the work of con- struction commenced, WASHINGTON NEWs AND GossIP. The Hon. Mr. Banks.—The result of yer- terday’s contest for the Speakership was as anticipated in the Star of that dapy which went to press ere the three last rere taken. If the Opposition cam elect may one it is Surely Mr. Banks of who more than any 4 tion with the 3; ership, is the re - tative of the important principles on which those who are planning out the programme of the Opposition for the session have anchored the ‘Opposition party that have come together in the course of the current are the repeal of the fugitive slave law, the restordtion of theMissouri restrietion in Kan: sas by direct action of Congress, and the jus tifieation and of thé personal liberty bill of the Inte: legislature of Massachusetts. Every one of the fifty spinal-disease (lobby) doctors who have been so deeply engaged in sharp professional practice in Weshington for more than = week past, are sworn advocates of each and all of these measures, and boast that their intention is so to manage matters after the organisation, aa that it will be found that the legislation of the House through it (the organization) will be quite as “‘sound’’ on the slavery question as that of the last Massa- ehusetts Legislature was. It struck us yesterday, from what we saw of the by-play in the Hall, that at least thirty of those voting forMr. Banks had made up their minds that he should on no account be elected. They were simply aiming tu place him near a triumph, (not up to one.) in order to ereate an obligation on the part of his friends to support Mr. Pennington. Their votes were given to him for Mr. Pennington’s benefit—not for his own. The Regolution.—The Opposition in the House are not a little disgruntled by the Fer- timacity with which the friends of the Admin- istration stick to their nomination. It strikes us they owe much of the embarrassment which grews out of this firmness of purpose mani- fested by the Democrats of the body, to the resolution on which their candidates were nominated, which admits of no compromise whatever with any other party or faction holding adverse doctrines on current public questions. We have yet to find the first man among all those who sustain Mr. Richardscn, who doubts the political wisdom of so early taking ground se distinctly and emphatically on the issues on whieh the party must stand or fall in the coming Presidential election. That is, with a single exception We refer toa member of the House from Vir- ginia, who is said to believe it to have been a faux pas to resolve against “Americanism;”’ as the Democracy by omitting to do that thing, and supporting some Democrat who was not personally obnoxious to the “ Ameri- can” party might have secured the Speaker- ship. At least one other member of the House (though not of the Democracy of the House) sppears to entertain the same opinion, as some one member seems to be voting with commendable perseverance indeed for the member who entertains this opinion. THE resolution to which we refer above is in fair keeping with the political reeord of its suthor, Mr. J. Glancy Jones, of Pennsylvania, than whom no other member of the House has more conzistently maintained its import- ant doctrines, one and all. As it is evidently destined to become the national Democratic shibboleth of the Union, it will make the fame of Mr. J. cooval with its own. It may now faitly be called the Pennsylvania Democratic party test. a ‘“‘Backbones.”—As anticipated in our last issue, Mr. Greeley and hia fifty spinal-disease doctors failed in their work yesterday. They did not use putty enough, or could not make it stick to a sufficient number of heretofore anti-abolition backbones, long enough to ac- complish their purpose. They did plaster up for the time being thoze of some seven or eight gentlemen, while the chinking- they had put in that of another that worked well enough on Saturday last, fell out, and Ass yote accord- ingly fell off. It seems to be understood that they were engaged last night in doctoring® the political spines of Messrs. Ball, Harrison, and Moore, of Ohio, especially; essaying torub them, we presume, with the Giddings liniment by way of getting them up to the condition of fever- heat necessary to induce those gentlemen to- dsy to throw aside their antiquated prejudices in favor of what were Whig doctrines not long since, and consent in future to be known as disciples of the Giddings school in public af- fairs, on the principles of which it is proposed to organize the House and administer its share of the functions and duties of the General Government. We understand that the politieal physicians of thelobby, te whom we refer above, have abandoned the case of Mr Fuller, of Pennsyl- vania, as an uiterly hopeless one, and have made no effort whatever to tinker the back- bone of the distinguished representative from the Buffalo district of New York, or of his colleague, Mr, Williams, both of whom very early in the contest manifested a deiermina- tion to get through the present crisis without any such medical attendance. Invalid Pensions Enlisting.—The law of April 30, 1544, forbids the payment of a pen- sion te any person employed or paid in the Army, Navy, or Marine Corps, for the time F they are so employed. It is held that the enlistment of an invalid pensioner is prima fucie evidence that his dis- ability has terminated, and that he is not en- titled on his discharge. to a resumption and continuance of his pension upon his old cer- tificate; but that his right thereto must be es- tablished by a new certifféate from the Inte- tior Department, before an agent can law- fully pay him. His old certificate must be surrendered at the time payment may be made to him of the amount due up to the date of his enlistment. “I Will Try.”—Several of our exchanges err in ascribing this memorable phrase to Col. Samuel Miller, of the Marine corps, whe died recently at Philadelphia, full of years and full of honors. It was Col. Miller, of New Hampshire, who, when asked whctherhe could take @ certain English battery at the battle of Lundy’s Lane, which was cutting the American forees to pieces, modestly replied : “I will try”—then gallantly beaded his men, and took the pieces. He was afterwards col- lector of the Port of Salem, Mass., where his son now holds the same office. Elected—On Saturda: last, in Exeentive session, the Senate elected Mr. J. H. Niehol- son, of Maryland, to be their Principal exes utive clerk. This is a responsible position, the person holding it being in charge of all the paper ents, £e., belonging tothe | 1. the House, yesterday, after we went to ‘business of the body, when in Executive (se- press, the ballotings for a Speaker were con- eret) session.
