EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: FRIDAY... - April 11, 1866. [7 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 Union reviews the Senate debate of yesterday to show the folly of the pretence that Kansas is a State; and shows that the Democracy have every reason to be satisfied with the results of the late elections. The Intelligencer reviews the career of Na- poleon III., concluding that he has beena most fortunate man. SS ——— ee WASHINGTON NEWSAND Gossie {Mr.Seward’s Speech .—The Republican press are already apparently half mad over Mr. Seward’s long-promised speech upon Kansas affairs, which was delivered in the Senate on the day before yesterday. As an intellectual effort, while it was superior to some other speeches made in the Senate on the Republican side, we think it did mot come up to public ex- pectation. It wanted solid foundation at the base, and hence appeared to be weak and disjointed in the superstructure. There were scattered through it passages of rhetoric, and at times there was an approximation to elo- quence. The allusions to Massachusetts and New York were ingenious, but did not reach the high standard which the orator evidently sought; that attained by Daniel Webster in his eulogium upon Massachusetts pronounced in the celebrated reply to Hayne. The fact that nearly all of Mr Seward’s speech of yesterday was devoted to President Pierce, and his recent messages, is considered in political circles here to be full of signifi- cance at this time. It is taken as an indica- tion that the issues presented in those State papers, in relation to slavery, are to be ac- cepted in the next Presidential canvass by the Republicans, and the election made to tarn upon them. President Pierce and his doctrines upon slavery are to be made the main topics of public consideration and dis- cussion, no matter who may be candidates fore the people. If events should take that irection the country will then have great distinct controlling questions of constitutional construction in issue before them, which it will be compelled to decide without giving a thought to individuals. Such a state of things, in our opinion, is to be desired. The Naval Medical Board, which con- vened at Philadelphia on the Ist of March last, have concluded their examinations, and reported the following Assistant Surgeons in the Navy for promotion : Wm. F. Carrington—to rank next after Passed Assistant Surgeon John Ward. James Suddards—to rank next after Passed Assistant Surgeon Francis M. Gunnell James F. Heustis—to rank next after Passed Assistant Surgeon Edward Shippen. Arthur Lynah—to rank next aftor Passed Assistant Surgeon James F. Heustis. Samuel F. Cowes—to rank next after Passed Assistant Surgeon Arthur Lynah. Charles F. Fahs—to rank next after Passed Assistant Surgeon Samuel F. Coues. Jacob S Dungan—to rank next after Passed Assistant Surgeon Jacob S. Dungan. George Peck—to rank next after Passed As- sistant Surgeon Chas. F. Fabs. Jenks Harris Otis—to rank next after Passed Assistant Surgeon George Peck. Frederick Horner, jr.—to rank next after Passed Assistant Surgeon Jenks Harris Otis. The following-named gentlemen, arranged in the order of their relative merit, were found qualified for the office of Assistant Sur- geon of the Navy: No. 1. H. A. F. Washington, of Virginia. No, 2. Richard C. Dean, of Pennsylvania. Mo. 3. H. Lawrence Sheldon, of Connecti- cut. No. 4. No. 5. No. 6. No. 7. Philip S. Wales, of Maryland. Albert C. Gorgas, of Pennsylvania Alexander M. Vedder, of New York Delavan Bloodygood, of New York. The EBxposure.—A lesson may be drawn from the proceedings of yesterday in the Sen- ate, that should be duly reflected on by honest people at the North who have been led to sym- pathize with the so-called Free-State party in Kansas. A few days ago General Cass pre- sented to the Senate what purported to be a petition or memorial from the absquatulating mock State Legislature of Kansas. It was referred to the Territories Committee. Asit embraced the usual arguments of those who sympathize with the Abolition party of the Territory, speciously set forth, of course an effort was made to superinduce the printing of a large number of extra copies of the paper at the cost of tLe national treasury, for circu- lation throughout the North. Yesterday this motion to print was debated in the most ani- mated circussion of thesession. Inthe course of the debate, it became so manifest that the paper was a forgery, embracing so grossa fraud, that the vote to commit it was reconsidered by & vote of 30 yeas te 3 nays. @ political event unprecedented in the history of the legislation of either branch of the Congress of the United States. 50 indignant were the Senate, that instead of either laying it on the table, or *‘ebucking *’ it under the table, it was deter- mined to return it to the person who handed it to General Cass for presentation to the Senate. Or, in other words, to kick it out of their chamber. Wavy Officers Orders.—Capt. William J. McCluney, who lately returned from the East Indies station, in command of the steam fri- gate Powhatan. bas been ordered to command the Norfolk (Va_) navy yard, vice Commodore McKeever, deceased. Lieut F. S. Conover, detached from the receiving ship at Baltimore, on the 20th inst , and Lieut. R. B. Lowry ordered to succeed him. Passed Assistant Surgeon S. F. Coues, dered to the coast survey steamer Walker. The following are the navy officers ordered to the coast survey steamer Hetzel—Lt. John J. Almy, commanding: Lieutenants—Win. Gibson and Robert D. Minor. Passed Assist- ant Surgeon—Randolph FP. Mason. Master Wm. H. Ward. Second Assistant Engineer— Ww. G. Wheeler. Third Assistant Engineer— Jackson McElwell. Those ordered to the coast survey schooner Nautilus are—Lieut. Richard Wainwright, Commanding. Lieutenants—J. B, Stewart and D. P. McCorkle. or- The Fremont Movem:nt.—Within the last few days, we have satisfied ourself that nearly every man in Washington who joined tke Republican party after leaving the Demo cratic rank, is now an advocate for the nomi- nation of Col. Fremont. So the friends of Mr. Justice McLean must stir their stumps, for those who oppose his election, as the Re- publican presidential candidate, are gentle- men who are not content to remain in any party unless they are allowed to dictate its policy, and to help themselves to the first choice of the good things. The Blairs, Ben- tons, Preston Kings, et a/, are not the men to play second fiddle to their present allies, af- ter having “ratted’’ from the Democratic party because they were not allowed any lon- ger to be its head and and front. By-the-by, it seems to be understood that Colonel F.’s main manager about the nomi- nation matter is no other than Mr Speaker Banks. The U. 8. Steam Frigate Merrimac.—This vessel has received her sailing (sea) orders Before taking her departure from the United States, she is to touch at Annapolis, to en- able the students of the Naval Academy to become acquainted, practically, with points in their studies not otherwise to be taught them. She will remain there a day or two, and mem- bers of Congress will then have an opportunity of examining one of the finest specimens of naval architecture in the world. The Current Operations of the Treasury Department.—On yesterday, 10th of April there were of Treasury warsante entered on the books of the Department— For the redemption of Stocks.... $59,755 05 For the Interior Department..... 1,464 92 War warrants received and en- Wc sccccesasccecses + 6,246 15 On account of the Navy. + 179,910 34 From miscellaneous sour . 1,016 60 From Customs. . + 152,648 56 ero CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, the debate on the motion to print extra numbers of the memorial of the self- styled Legislature of “ the State of Kansas’’ was continued by Mr. Hale in its favor until the hour set for taking up the special order Mr Stuart moved to postpone all prior or- ders to take up the river and harbor improve- ment bill; not agreed to—yeas 17, nays 25. The motion to print, above mentioned, was then again taken up, and was debated by Messrs. Douglas, Mason, Yulee, Butler, Bay- ard, and Cass, against it. Mr. Mason then offered the following reso- lution : Resolved, That the order of the 7th inst., referring a paper purporting to be a memorial of certain individuals representing themselves as senators and representatives of the (ien- eral Assembly of the State of Kansas to the Committee on Territories be rescinded, and the Committee on Printing be discharged from the consideration of the motion to print said paper. ‘This resolution was then debated by Meszrs. Trumbull, Bayard, Pugh, Toucey, Seward, Crittenden, Rusk, Butler, Benjamin and others. Inthe course of the debate— Mr. Benjamin said that he believed the petition to be an impudent forgery, and that it was not the petition of the men from whom it purported to emanate The men whose names were appended to it were now fugitives from justice ; and he could see no good rea- son for considering such an insolent memorial. Mr. Cass stated that he had just had an in- terview with the person from whom he re- ceived the memorial, and the result of that interview was that he was not satisfied that the document was one that ought to be acted upon by the Senate. Mr. Seward stated that he had been assured by the bearer of the memorial that it was a true copy of one that he saw signed by all the members of the provisional legislature of Kansas. This gentleman (Col. Lane) was a member of the House of Representatives from Indiana in 1854, and voted for the Kansas- Nebraska bill. Mr. Hamlin said that, if the paper was not a genuine document, he was not in favor of its reception or printing. The question being taken upon the resolu- tion, it was agreed to—yeas 32, nays 3—as follows : Yeas—Messrs Adams, Allen, Benjamin, Big- ler, Biggs, Bright, Brown, Butler, Cas , Critten- den, Dodge, Dougias, Evans, Fitzpatrick, Geyer, Hamlin, Houston, Hunter, Iverson, Jones of Iowa, Mason, Pugh, Reid, Rusk, Sebastian, 3li- deli, Stuart, Toucey, Trumbull, Weller, Wright, and Yule—32. Nays—Messrs. Harlan,Seward,and Sumner—3. Mr. Cass then asked leave to withdraw the memorial, in order that he might return it to the person from whom he received it; which was agreed to. On motion, the Senate adjourned. In the House, at the conclusion of the speech of Mr. Harris of Ill, the resolutions of the Elections Committee, deciding against the right of Measrs Foulke and Turney the con- testants for the seats of Messrs. Trumbull and Marshail of Illinois, in the House, and awa: ing them pay and mileage, were agree] tv. r. Spinner reported a resolution from the Elections Committee unanimously affrwingtie right of Mr. Fuller of Me, to his seat, and allowing his contestant, Mr. Milliken, p»y and mileage. Going next into Committee of the Whole, the Deficiency bill was again taken up, and the Washington water works appropriation of $300,000 was debated. in the course of this discussion— Mr. Phelps explained why the Ways and Means Committee bad reported against this amendment, and said that he had always op- posed appropriations for this object, being unwilling to subject the Government of the United States to the entire cost of construc tion of the aqueduct, in order that the inhab- itants of this city and those who might be here on public business might be supplied with water His own plan would be, to have Washington and Geurgetown contribute a share toward the construction of this work, and then place it entirely under the control of the two cities, the Government to have the right to use as much of the water as it might need, and the cities to reimburse themselves by levying a tax upon those who might use the water thus brought here Mr. Orr had generally voted with the gen- tleman from Missouri against the water-works for this city. The policy of making these ap- propriations had been very fully discussed in both Houses during the last and the preceding Congress, and $300 000 had already been voted toward the construction of this aque- duct. He considered that the Government bad committed itself to the construction of these water-works, and that the only question the House had to decide was, whether the up- propriation asked was to be given at this time or at some subsequent period. Believing that, as a matter of ecunomy, it would be better tu make this appropriation now, he should very cheerfully give his vote in favor of the amend- ment of the Senate. Mr. Meacham remarked that the gentle- man from South Carolina had fully stated the exact views he had intended to present to the committee There were only three months in the year when work on the line of the Potu- mac could be successfully prosecuted ; he al- luded to the months of April, May, and June. After those months came the sickly season, and hence the necessity of making this appro- priation without delay. He had taken it for granted that this question had been setiled; and although Le had never voted for appro- priations for this aqueduct, yet he meant to do so now. The question was, when would they do this work? Would they prosecute it in the Healsey months of April, May, and June, or would they defer it until every man on the entire list was sick, shaking one day, rip an Se a with fever the next? an actual deficiency to be ii for, and this he would prove es ere read @ communication from the War jepart- ment, which had this work in charge. The communication was read, and states that if the appropriations forthe aqueduct be de- ferred the best period of the season would be lost, and the ultimate expense of the work would be increased by the deterioration con. sequent upon the exposure of it, in an unfit condition, to the action of the rains and frost, Mr. Seward opposed the amendment, con- sidering the policy a bad one, and believing thatthe pandbracticn of the works by the Gov- ernment would give rise to a great increase of the rents of private property here. He was for makin; the private citizens bear the ex- pense, and sinking the $350,000, already ex- pended on the works, from the public treas- ury. He did not regard the appropriation as being constitutional. Mr. Greenwood reviewed the history of the water-works for this city, stating that he had opposed them from their inception. But the only question now was, should the Govern- ment go on with the work or sink that which had already been expended in its construction. or should the work be delayed until another Con, ?. His opinion was that they bad better make this appropriation at once, and permit the work to goon. He should here- after cease all opposition to this aqueduct. as he deemed it useless longer to contend against it, though he would not say that he would vote for the amendment of the Senate. Mr. Cadwalader remarked that without an ample supply of water the public prope: here would be in an insecure condition. He did not believe that the expenditure would exceed the estimate, and, believing that the work had progressed so far that its contin- uance was a matter of necessity, he cheerfully adopted the views, though not altogether for the reasons suggested, of the gentleman from South Carolina. Mr. Simmons said that Washington city, they all knew, was not exactly a pauper town, but it was one which expected from the dis- bursements of the Government here not only to live, but to have its landlords become rich He was willing to exe patente the property in this city, and to pay in the pro- Poa whish the property of the United tates should bear to the whole. Mr. Goode claimed the right to expend this money as an appurtenance to the public buildings here located. The Government had the right to furnish itself with water, that its buildings and archives might be secure from fire. If the citizens of Washington were to derive benefit from this work, it was collat- erally and incidentally ; for the whole ex- penditure was forthe benefit of the Govern- ment, and would be under its control. Those who were required to remain here in the dis- eharge of public duties were constrained to encounter the penis of disease in consequence of the want of cleanliness of the city; and how could this be preserved witbout an ade quate surly of water. . Mr. Ball had investigated this subject, and was very much pleased to find the work ina greater state of forwardness than he had ex- pected, and done in a much better manner than he had been led tosuppose. He did not propose to speak of the propriety or the im- ropriety of the undertaking inthe first place, en would take the question as it was now presented to them e took it for granted that this aqueduct was to be continued. If the necessary appropriation should be refused now it would be given after the election, by which time great loss would have been in- curred by the Government. In his opinion true economy required that Congress should permit the work to go on now. Mr. Sage had voted against this undertaking from the beginning, as wrong in itself. He did not believe that the work could be con- structed at the estimated cost, and had al- ways been in favor of the Government pay- ing in proportion to the value of its preperty in this city. Mr. Crawford moved to amend the amend- ment of the Senate by adding thereto: ‘‘Pro- vided, That the sum, together with that here- tofore paid by Congress, shall not exceed the relative proportion of the value of Govern- ment property as compared with that belong- ing to Furue citizens within the corporate limits of Georgetown and Washington cities.’’ Pending the question on the amendment of Mr. Crawford the committee rose; and The House adjourned. Preceedings of To-Day. In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Brown calling the Senate’s attention tothe fact that since the adoption by the Senate of the joint reso. lution tochange the site of the proposed Wash ington Armory from the mall to Judiciary Square, the work on its construction had been commenced at the former location, gave notice that he would call up the pending motion to reconsider the vote on that resolution, on Mon- day next. They then proceeded to consider private bills, on which they were engaged as we went to press. In the House, it was moved that when they adjourn they would adjourn over until Mouday; agreed to. It was then moved to go into Committee on the Private Calender; on which the question was being taken as we went to press. PERSONAL. +++. BF. W.

It was composed, both words and music, by a cam royalist officer of artillery, Rouget de sle by name He was stationed at Strasburg at the time when France was heavingwith the throes of revolution. He was known through- out the country as a favorite of the muses of poetry and song The winter of 1792 was one of :carcity in Strasburg, and at the table of a oor acquaintance, Deitrick whocould set but ittle food before his guest, DeLisle always found at least a bottle of genereus wine. It was on anevening of this gloomy season of want and turmoil, when Deitrick and De Lisle were warming themselves with the old ‘:Faler- nain,” that the former pro; to the latter that he should produce ‘‘one of those hymns which convey to the souls of the people the enthusiasm which suggested it.”” De Lisle repaired at midnight to his lodgings, and there on his clavicord, now composing the air before the words and now the words before the air, in a sort of frenzy struck off a hymn, ‘‘which,'? says a distinguished French writer, ‘‘seems a recovered «ho of Thermopyla—it was heroism sung ” Overcome at length and exhausted he fell asleep, and it was not until the next day that he wrote out the hymn and presented it to his friend Deitrick The hymn of the country was found. Alas! it proved the re- quiem to poor Deitrick. He went to the scaf- fold to its notes, withina year. It flew frum city tocity At the opening and closing of the clubs in Marseilles, it was sung. and hence its name. royalist, heard that somg when fleeing for safety from his country, and what he had created“n a moment of enthusiasm and as an incentive to freedom, became the death-cry of the revulutionists and stirred the blood of des- perate men to the most fearful deeds of tyr- @aony and terror. {3 From an article in Putnam’s Magazine on our coast defences, we learn that Furt Mon- roe, at Old Point Comfort, and Fort Calhoun Hampton Roads, have 595 guns, have cost $4,067 467, and require yet $804, 332 to com- plete them. Forts Washington, on the Potomac, and Severn and Madison, at Annapolis, mount in all 133 guns They have cost $596,853. The first two are completed ; the last required yet an expenditure of $30,000. There are two forts prepared in part for the defence of Baltimore—Carroll and McHenry. They mount 233 guns, have cost $281,663, and require an outlay of $865,000 yet. i The first and second of the three new Revenue Cutters, contracted for by Messrs.
