EVENING SFAR. WASHINGTON CITY: U0 Advertisements should be handed in by 12 o’clock, m., otherwise they may not appear until the next day. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer, to-day, commenting on the recent eloquent eulogium upon the Su- preme Court of the United States, delivered by Senator Butler—after showering just compli- ments on the eminent judicial antecedents of the #outh Carolina Senator himself—says: “The sacred nature of those functions. when we consider the responsible trusts of which the Supreme Court is the deposito and the custodian, can hardly be over-esti- mated; and th ain, is a consideration which vincicates for that august body as much of gratitude as of admiration when we recall not only the fidelity with which it has pre- served the purity of the peng ermine from blemish or spot, but also the unsurpassed ability and intelligence which it has brought to the adjudication of the questions that have come before it Among the three co-ordinate branches into which our governmental system is so wisely apportioned, it may be doubted whether either of the other two, the Legisla- tive or the Executive, has so generally and completely fulfilled the ends of its creation as that in which the Constitution reposes the supreme Judicial authority of the Confeder- acy. May it ever continue the bulwark of cur liberties, and as such be forever cherished and respected by a law-loving and a law- abiding people !” The Union continues its long drawn out controversy with the Jnte//igeneer upon the importance of Mr. Buchanan's expression of his opinion that this Government should be astisfied with Lord Ciarendon’s explanation and quasi apology in the Enlistment case, be- fore he (Mr, B.) knew of Mr. Crampton’s com- plicity in the affair; saying in the course of its remarks. “One of the objects of the Intelligencer, and ro far as itself is concerned, the principal object of its five column article, was to show that sa far as an amende was due from the British goverument, Mr. Buchanan's expres- sion of ‘ satisfaction’ in his note to Lord Clar- endon of the 18th July, in transmitting a copy of his note of the 16th to the Secretary of State, was all that should be asked of that ernment; and to corroborate and sustain itself in this positien, it unfairly, and we think we are justified in saying untruly, represents Mr. Buchanan as wot having, on the receipt of ‘ new developments,’ changed his opinion. To do this, it deliberately suppressed in its article the passage above quoted from Mr. Buchanan’s letter to Mr. Marcy of the 3d October, in which he distinctly asserts that the “‘ alleged agency of Mr. Crampton presents a sertous aspect,’ and that with the informa- tion he then had, he ‘should not have pressed’ to Lord Clarendon his ‘ satisfacti in transmitting his ote of the 16th July.’” WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOssir, The Washington City Election Law.—The debate of yesterday, in the House hall, on the question whether the term of residence for the foreign-born in this country, previous to being entitled to vote here, shall hereafter be six years, or five as the United States law not only for this District but for the whole country, now provides, was a very interesting one. South America made an onslaught on the foreign-born, as a matter of course—fierce. denunciastory, and unrelenting. All the ar- guments with which the Know Nothing papers have teemed for two years past, in favor of making distinctions ix the political rights of classes of cilizens of the United States, were urged by half adozon South American ora- tors. Yet we could not percieve that they made the slightest impression on the gud sense of the majority, who seemed very prop- erly bent on preventing the District of Colum- bia from being made a field of Know Nothing experiments in the science of government. We saw no reason to believe that the amend- ment proposed by Mr. Humphrey Marshall, of Kentucky, will prevail. When the House adjourned yesterday, it was evident that South America, in despair of carrying their point against the ‘‘d—d [rish’’ and “ blind Duteh”’ in this community, was laboring to frighten as wany members as possible into voting with them eventually to lay the bill on the table If it succeed, we shall have, in June next, a repetition of the Know Nothing violence at the polls and frauds on the rights of legal voters, that disgraced our city in the election of last year. The Indian War in California. — According to the newspapers by the last Pacific arrival, the Governors and other authorities in Oregon and Washington Territézies have already is- sued four millions of scrip in payment for tha expenses of the Indien war now waging in that quarter. Every dollar of it must sooner or later be cancelled directly fro ihe trea- sury of the United Siates. Efforts will of course be made in Congress to stave off the day of its payment, and many protests will be entered against the extravagance of more cr less of the claims, to cover which more or less of the serip in question wag issued. ®ur ex- perience with such matters teaches that in the end Congress will foct the bill. He who doubts the fact can know little of the pre- vious history of all such cases oceurring un- der this Government In this case Congreas, will not have the poor excuse of being “taken unawares.”’ Gen. Joe Lane has for years past been beseeching the House to look straight in the face the condition to which the Indian re- lations of that far-off region Lave been tend- ing; and the War Department has done its best to superinduce efficient legislation to en- able the Executive branch of the Government to ward eff the cceurrence of the train of events which have justified those who have taken the responsibility of pledging the faith of Congress for the liquidation of the serip in question As arual in such cases, Congress has been both deaf and blind; contenting it- self with whistling down the warnings to which we refer above. It has now to pay for its whistling The Kansas Investigating Committee —It is understood that Messrs Sherman, Howard, and Oliver of Mo, secept the povitions as. signed to them on this committee, and are preparing to leave Washington &8 f00n as pos- sible for Kansas. Ex-Gov. Reeder left for the Territory on the paseage of the resolu- tion Gen Whitefield will go out, of course, with the ccmmiitee The Dome.—We understand that the cost of the dome Leing constructed fur the centre of the Capitol building, will be, per estimate, about a million of dollars. This fact evident- Jy produces flinching among gome of the mem- bers. It was designed by Mr Walters, the aecomplished architect of the extension of the building, and the committee of the House having charge of the subject procured the ap- Propriaticn of $160,000 to commence its con- struction, before its cost was estimated ; so highly were tey dei hted with its plan. | there at 6 Since the estimate has been made, however, as we remark above, there is no little hesita- tion manifested. The plan will, and should be carried out, as any change in it will mar the whole effect of the expenditure from the treasury on the other portionsof the great work.

Mr. Han 8 pending amendment, appro- riating ggregate of $301,363 to sup eficiencies in last year’s appropriations for the public priating and printing paper, was then to—yeas 22, nays 12. Mr. Bayard moved to amend the bill by adding a clause, as follows: « For finishing the Jepice and extension of the west wing of the Patent Office building, to pay the reservations due, put up iron railing, and lay down the necessary flagging and pave- ments, $150,000. r Pending the question on agreeing to this proposition, they adjourned. In the House, Mr. H. Marshall, of Ken- tucky, modified his proposition to amend the pending bill to define and secure the rights of voters in Washington city, &e., so as that it should require one year’s residence here after naturalization before foreign-born citi- sens should be entitled to vote, instead of two years as he originally proposed. ‘The debate on his amendment was then continued. Mr. Davis, of Maryland, was of opinion that the principle which was intended to be incor- rated in this bill was one that ought to have boon incorporated before, and he was not aware that it would draw, as had been said, invidious distinctions between the native-born and foreign citizon. If it drew a distinction between these two classes of citizens, then the question was whether it was right or wrong ; and he supposed that upon that question the judgment of the House would not be aided by the use of the word invidious. Every cit- izen of the United States moving from any State into the District of Columbia brought with him the ordinary rights of an Ameri- ean citizen; and after he had come here, having these qualifications, he was required to reside here a certain length of timo. Tho object of the amendment, therefore, was nothing more or less than to prevent an in- vidious distinction against the native-born and in favor of the foreign-born citizen. The law required that a native, having the re- sponsibilities of eaeeehly sper him, should reside here a certain length of time before he should be entitled to vote, while it conferred upon the foreigner with his naturalization papers that right instantly, without having reviously resided here as a citizen, and be- Rre he had opportunity or interest enough to investigate, reflect upon, and know his duties as acitizen of the city. It authorized him to vote immediately, without, putting any pe- riod between the acquisition of his naturali- zation and the acquisition of @ right to vote. Another important reason for the adoption of this amendment was to prevent the naturali- zation of foreigners on the day before the election to control it, asit were. Now onthat day tho court-house was crowded with the rough and raw material who turned the bal- ance against men, native and foreign, who had been here for five, ten, or twenty years They were men who knew nothing of the country or its interests, who had never turned their attention towards any one of the great duties of American citizenship, who had so little interest in becoming citizens that they did not, in nine cases out of ten, seek the court-house for the purpose of getting out their naturalization papers, but who were taken from the purlieus of the town by thou- sands and brought before the tribunals of the United States with men standing by them to pay for their naturalization papers, and those papers not confided to their keeping, but the political line held on them until they ap- peared in long files at the polls on the day of the election, where they did not vote, but were voted by men who held their papers in their pockets. Mr. Meacham said that the bill had been submitted to the thinking men of all parties of the District of Columbia, and had met their unanimous approval. The House was legislating for the District of Columbia, and not for Baltimore or for Kentucky, and he wondered that the gentleman from Kentucky, who was on the Judiciary Committee, should come here with alittle patch of an amend- ment of one year, when his committee had the power to bring in a general bill to regu- late the whole naturalization laws. He knew there was a necessity for a change in the nat- uralization laws; and when they come for- ward with a general bill regulating the laws of the whole land, he would go with them, though he would not say whether he would go for twenty one or twenty-five years. He was in favor of having a moderate and just law for all that would commend itself to every man’s conscience in the sight of God; and then he was in favor of having that law en- forced. He moved to recommit the bill to the Committee for the District of Columbia. Mr. Campbell of Ohio, moved that the re- commitment to the committee be accompanied with instructions to them to report the amend- ment offered by the gentleman from Ken- tucky. Unless some such provision was in- corporated in the bill, it would be within the power of any of the parties to bring from ad- Joining cities, within a few hours, enough naturalized foreigners to control the ballot- boxes. He trusted that when they reached territorial legislation, some such principle would be incorporated, putting an end to this system of pauper influence which now con- trolled the elections. Mr. Boyce held that all citizens should be equal befure the law, and if there was sy property qualification or qualification of resi- dence, it should apply to all classes of our citizens. They might make the naturaliztion laws as stringent as they pleased ; but, after a man had passed that ordeal and become a citizen, they should treat him as a citizen. They ought not to hold the word of promise to the ear and broak it to the hope. After the had taken a man into the bosom of the Amori- can fraternity, and said to him, you are an American citizen, they should not let it be a cheat and adulusion. He abhorred all these distinctions of equality before the law between citizens. It was contrary to the spirit of re- publicanism. After foreigners had been made citizens, they ought not to discriminate be- tween them and the native-born; but, by treating them with magnanimity and generos- ity, make them forget that they were born on foreign soil. After they were taken in as citizens they should be treated as citizens in spirit as well asin name. Mr. Harris, of Illinois, opposed the amond- ment. He referred to that portion of Mr. Da- vis’s remarks in which he alluded to the nat- uralized citizens as raw material who were unacquainted with the interests or affairs of our country, and ignorant men, and called his attention to the statistics of his own State of Maryland. If he examined those statistics he would find that, out of 53,288 foreign-born people in that State, there were 3,451 illite- rate—making but one in eighteen; while, of his native-born population of 438,916, there were 32,426, or one in eleven, making a dif- ference of nearly one-half in favor of those very foreigners whom he characterised as so utterly ignorant. The debate was continyed at great length by Messrs. Hall of Mass., Richardson, Car- lile, Keitt, Zollicoffer, Whitney, Goode, and Walker, until the House adjourned. Proceedings of To-Day. In the Senate, to-day, the Deficiency bill was again taken up, and the pending amend- ment of Mr, Bayard was agreed to. Various other amendments were considered and dis- posed of ere we went to press. In the Honse, the bill from the Senate in relation to punishment in penitentiaries was taken from the Speaker's table on motion of Mr. Wade. The question being on its third reading, ar- gument upon it arose between Mr. Barbour, for immediate action on it, and Mr. Orr, for its reference to the Judiciary Committee. This debate was further continued by Messrs. Wade, Simmons, Greenwood, and Marshall, of Kentucky. : E> A distinguished author, in one of his most peotimnd works, asserts that it is the height of folly to ** bolt a door with a boiled carrot. ‘ (a Honest industry has bro! man to the scaffold,’’ said a wag, a8 Carpenter upon the staging. ht that sawa ~~ PERSONAL. +++.
