The day when people of com- mon sense will trade with any but the nimble sixpence men has passed. See the Star’s ad- vertising columns for them. Proposed New Land Districts in Kansas and Nebraska Territories.—We understand that the propositions have been favorably en- tertained to divide the “Omaha district,’’ in Nebraska, office at Omaha City, by oreating @ new district for all that part of the Terri- tory lying south and east of the Platte river and its south main fork, to be called the “South Platte district;’’ and also to divide the present ‘ Pawnee district,’’ which at pres- ent covers the whole Kansas Territory, office at Lecompton, into three districts, the portion north of the Kansas siver and the Smoky Hill Fork of the same to constitute the ‘‘ Delaware district,’’ and the part lying south of the par allel of 38° north latitude to be called the ‘Osage district’—the residue of tho Terri- tory between them to remain as the old dis- trict. Each of the districts last named will embrace about one degree of latitude, and extend across the whole Territory from east to west. This measure seems to be necessary on account of the rapid extension of the set- tlements and the obstacles interposed by the rivers named being yet without ferries or bridges in this new country, to reaching the present land offices. The islands in the river boundaries are all to be continued in the old districts, thus avoiding the necessity of es lishing the line of the main channel, some- times attended with difficulty. leave pay under the navy reform law. - consumption. THE WEEELY STAR. Those who wish a faithful and interesting ebronicle of affairs during the past week, are invited to examine the number of the ‘‘ Wees- dy Star” just issued. It contains notes and comments on the important political questions now before Congress ;-personal paragraphs; the cream and spice of the news, at home and abroad ; prose and poetical selections; scien- tifie and literary information; and a profusion ef that humorous reading which gives a sprightly character to a newspaper. The circulation of our weekly in different parts of ourcountry is now rapidly increasing, snd we solicit from our readers a friendly in- terest in its success.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Onion compliment: the speech deliv- ered by Senator Douglas yesterday, in bigh terms, and holds that the rejoinder of his col- league, Senator Trumbull, virtually admits all the case Senator D. essayed to prove. The same journal highly approves the manner ia which the Democratic press of the country is conducting the canvass fora presidential nomination; sayingin the course of its remarks on that subject : “In the last place, nothing could more clearly show the unselfish zeal which per- vades ourparty then the spirit of forbearance and liberality with which the canvass for the presidential nomination is conducted by the respective friends of the several aspirants A very large portion of our cotemporaries of the Democratic press withhold any expression of preference, but avow themeelves eagemfor the contest with either of the distinguished pames spoken of for the nomination as stan- dard-bearers.

The election took place fast Ax, ; the vote between the parties was elose?"the returns, as uzually gathered and published by the newspaper press, indicated the election of Mr. Bashford by five or six hundred majority, but the official canvassers eventually gave the return to Governcr Bar- stow, who was in possession of the office by virtue of a previous election, the term of which was about to expire. ** It is alleged by the friends of Mr. Bash- ford that the decision of the canvassers was vased on fraudulent returns, purporting to come from new counties, in which there are not near ss many-inbabitants as there were votes returned; and it is to investigate these facets that they demand the judicial review which is resisted by the governor.” Gover ror Arait —Col.

Wells (Dem.) has a plurality of about 800 over Metcalf, (K. N. Republican ) The returns from the twelve towns above referred to will probably increase the plurality of Wells. It will be utterly im- possible to tell which—Wells or Metcalf—will have a majority of the Legislature, until they essay to choose between them ; as they must, under the law. The New Hampshire Demo- cratic managers, we know, are under the im- preasion that more or leg? of those supposed to be identified with the oppcsition will vote for Wells, and regard his chance as being best.

The demands for the public service upon the works of the Arsenal are so great as that ite present limits are by no means sufficient for the accommodation of the workmen who must be employed therein.
