EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: FRIpAY.. seeeeeeees APPEL 15, 18666 107" Advertisements should be handed in by 12 o’clock, m., otherwise they may not appear until the neat day. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer saya of the meeting of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal bondholders (at the National hotel in thiscity, John Marbury, Eaq., of Georgetown, in the chair) that took place yesterday: “It was given in cha: 4 to a committee of six to represent to the Maryland Board of Public Works the anxiety of the bondholders for the appointment of persons as President and Directors atthe approaching election. whose qualifications should be marked at once by @ professional fitness and by business hab- its and capabilities of mind. “The disasters, and, for the present, the unpromising condition of the canal finances ae loudly, it was urged, for energy and ca- pability in its management, and especially is that need felt in this community and in thie neighborhood, where the sole resources of so many widows and orphans have been for sev- eral years entirely locked up in the totally unproductive canal bonds. “The committee consists of George Brown, of the House of A. Brown & Sons, Baltimore, A B Davis, Thomas 8. Alexander, L. P. Bayne, C.H Carter, Charles St. John Chubb.” We understand that the opinion of those present, as gathered on the occasion, was very unanimous for commencing suit imme- diately to recover their rights so pertinacious- ly withheld by the canal authorities of the State of Maryland. The Union replies to the New York Her- ald’s attack (on Tuesday or Wednesday last) upon President Pierce, wherein, chang- ing its tactics, that journal says that Presi- dent Pierce has no friends among the South- ern Democracy because his administration has not been sufficiently national on the slave- ry question. The Union's reply is one of the ablest articles we have read in a long time, and we regret the want of space in which to copy it entire. The Hera/d has afforded the Unton an opportunity to make a profound impression in favor of the renomination of President Pierce, in all quarters of the coun- try. Tax Opzra.—A full and fashionable au- dience greeted ‘‘ La Fille du Regiment’’ at the National last night. The versatile barytone was excellent in the Old Sergeant ; but we regretted that the tenor had £0 little todo. The song of “‘ We may be Happy,”’ from another opera, was deservedly encored. The charming ‘‘ Vivandierie’’ was everywhere rapidly changing from grave to gay, and equally pleasing in all. But two nights remain of the engagement of these highly popular artistes, and, “In tears we pine,’’ at the thought of the dull blank which will follow their departure. We hope they may be induced to remain another week. President Pierce and lady, with Mr. Sidney Webster and several members of the Cabinet, Were present lastevening. The sale of tickets for to-night indicates that the house will be the fullest and most fashionable, thus far, of the season, which is all the more gratifying, as being the benefit night of so worthy a Vocalist and actor as Mr. W. Harrison. The ** Bohemian Giri’’ has always been a favorite opera with Washirgton audiences, and car- not failto be attractive as rendered by this troupe. MLE. Paropi.—Great was the disappoint- ment of the admirers of artistic music in the Federal metropolis last evening, owing to the sickness of M'lle. Parodi. Nearly every seat in the capacious Odd Fellows’ Hall had been engaged, and a vast throng of Washington society duly attended; only however to learn that the fair cantatrice was too much indise posed to gratify them on that occasion. We presume that had the doors been thrown open, there would have been then and there gather- ed, the most refined and distinguished audi- ence (in proportion to numbers) that ever as- aembled in a concert room in this country. The disappointment has only increased the general desire to attend her last concert, which is to come off to-morrow evening. She is again to sing the Marseilles Hymn, by the request of many distinguished persons now among us. Tux Maryianp IxstitvTe.—This efficient institution bas re-organized for the ensuing year, by the re-election, for the eighth time, of the Hon. Joshua Van Zandt. Esq., az Presi- dent. Wm. Prescott Smith, Esq , was chosen First Director. Haron, the young man who committed the heavy robbery upon Ball, Black & Co., of New York, has been sentenced to five years inthe State Priecon. When brought in for sentence he walked up to the bar with a nim- ble step, and frank, confident air, though there was nothing of the bravado in his man- ner. He was dressed in a brown linen coat and dark pante, and appeared like a person who had just left his store and came into court onanerrard. He is abvut twenty-one years of age, has dark hair and eyes, rather sharp features, and a pleasing, benevolent expression of countenance. Tux Inptas Troveres in Ongcon.—Among the official documents received from Oregon is the letter from Joel Palmer superintendent of Indian affairs, who, confirming the state- ments of Governor Curry, says ‘* the present difficulty in southern Oregon is wholly attrib- utable to the acts of the whites,”’ adding “I cannot but feel that it is our duty to adopt such measures as will tend to secure the lives of these [ndians and maintain the guaranties secured by treaty stipulations “The future will prove that this war has been forced upon these Indians against their will; and that, too, by a set of reckless vaga- bonds for pecuniary and political objects, sanc- tioned by a numerous population, who regard the Treasury of the United States a legiti- mate object of plunder. “The Indians in that district have been driven to desperation by acts of cruelty com- miticd against their people. Treaties have been vivlated and acts of barbarity committed by those claiming to be citizens that would disgrace the most barbarous nations of the earth. If none but those who perpetrated such acts were to be affected by this war we might look upon it with indifference, but -un- happily this is not the ease.”’ Presipextiay Canpivar Mr. Fillmore bad returned to Rome on the 20th ult., from Naples. The New York Her- ald learns that Mr. Cass was to entertain him at a splendid banquet, to which ail the iead- ing Americans in Rome and the dignitaries of the Church were invited. Mr. Fillmore was to leave on the day after for Florence, Milan and Venice. Marked attention had been shown the ex-President by the Pope and the King of Naples Mr. Buchanan had passed through Paris on bis way to the Hague _ His intention was to leave for the United States on the 8th of this month. {t was comtem- plated by the Americans in Paris to invite him ony public dinner on bis return through that =» Forors.— WASHINGTON NE AND GossIP The Republican Nominations.—The very last phase taken by Republican party matters here look to the nomination at Philadelphia, on an Abolition platform, of Col. J. C. Fre- mont for President, and Hon, Mr. Banks for Vice President They are growing candi- dates, more especially as no well-informed politician of the Republican party in Congress entertains the idea that his friends can elect any one. The question with them is, simply, who can they best afford to sacrifice in the approaching contest; and their minds are all turning rapidly to the gentlemen we name above. Mr. Seward is undoubtedly playing for 1860, in th@ belief that the Republican party will grow as the opposition party to the next Democratic administration. His friends, and, indeed, all the Democrats also, are of opinion that the so-called American party will not survive the coming Presidential elec- tion, in which no one in Washington but them- selver dream that they can obtain a single electoral vote. We have watched the prog- ress of Republiean party opinion upon the question of their nomination with no little in- terest, and have satisfied ourself that they now look to Fremont and Banks as their men with great unanimity. The Tribune's Opinion of the Foreign Born. Mr. G. S. Pike, one of the editors of the New York Tridune, now or very recently on a visit to Washington, writes to.that journal that “a survey of the attire, manner and expression of the lighter shades of the colored people who throng Pennsylvania avenue of a Sun- day afternoon demonstrates them to be a race scarcely inferior to the average of the white race on this continent, and superior to the average of the immigrants from the Old World.’”’ The foreign born citizens of the United States will realize from this short extract what the Tribune thinks of them when it Proposes to use those who would hunt them out of the country, or strip them of their privi- leges of American citizenship. The dodge of its party just now is to combine in the next Presidential contest the issues of anti foreign- er, anti-Catholic, and anti-slavery. Hence, we presume, the change in the phase of its opinions with reference to the foreigners in the United States. Settled —We hear that the accounts of the Hon. Thomas J. Henly, superintendent of Indian affairs for the Department of Cali- fornia, have been settled by that gentleman, who has been, for a week or two, in Wash ington They embrace the expenditure of over $300,000 for 2 multitude of objects. The Government’s showing is said to have been within twenty-five dollars of his, an instance of commendable accuracy on his part, rare, indeed, in the management of extensive and varied pecuniary trusts in a new section of country. Mr. H. has also, on this visit, finally closed his account with the Post Office Department, as late postmaster at San Francisco. It is said that the balance found due to him was about $11,000, which he had leftin the hands of the Government until coming to Washing- ing to make his settlement in person. A prompt and faithful public officer is Mr. Hen- ly, of California. The Attempted Fraud in the Senate.—An examination of the paper last offered to the Senate of the United States by Col. James H. Love as the veritable petition of the mock legislature of the bogus State of Kansas, will show that is a very different paper from the one originally sent in purporting to be that same document. A considerable portion of the first one was stricken out : all that portion wherein it was claimed that the action of the abolition party in assuming to substitute their Topeka-made constitution fur the Territorial government, (organic law,) made by Congress, was legal. This second one, by the by, is without the signatures of the parties who, it was originally alleged, signed it. So it is the petition of nobody. The history of the mem- orlal in question isin fair keeping with the rest of the false pretences which the Repub- lican managers have essayed to palm on the public of the Atlantic States. All Lost .—It is almost a moral impossibility that a single man of the force under Schles- singer, the Hungarian, could have escaped from Costa Rica. Of his four hundred men, ninety were killed on the ground, and nine- teen of the twenty made prisoners, were sub- eequently shot. The rest, according to all accounts, dispersed in the woods, where, as a matter of course, they became a prey to their fierce pursuers. The forests of Central Amer- ica are not like those of the United States, wherein one ean make progress. The under- growth in them is much like that of an East India jungle, in which it is utterly impossible for a stranger to make headway. The only fate left left for persons seeking refuge in them, under the circumstances under which the American fillibusters fled to them, is death by starvation or capture. John Wentworth.—The Democracy of the country will be glad to learn that this noto- tious individual has, at length, fully and fairly ceased to pretend that he is identified with them. No man was ever in Congress who left behind him a worse personal charac ter, or who was more universally despised and disliked by honorable men of all parties in public life. For many years he has been a standing reproach to the Democratic party, which they could not succeed in throwing off, owing to the mendacity of his Democratic pretensions. He now avows himself a “ Fre- mont and Banks’’ man, through his newspa- per, the Chicago Democrat. He has gone off—clean off. Thank God—we know the Democrats will say—with Mr. Francis P. Blair, the New York Evening Post, et id omne genus. Central America —We know that it is un- derstood among the foreign Ministers in W ash- jagton that England and France have deter- mined to have Walker subdued by hook or by erook, and that they are prepared to drive him out of Nicaragua unless that can be done by the Central American States without their open interference in their behalf It is also believed here by the same parties that by this time other battles have been fought in Nicaragua, and that the means brought against Walker were sufficient to crush him We do not believe that this Government has yet re- evived despatches concerning Walker’s defeat in Costa Rica, or relative to the state of affairs in Nicaragua when that took place. Walker's Battle was fought on the 22d ult., and not on the 20th, as at first reported. It is thought among the diplomatists of other Governments, jn Washington, that there are um, comprising the troops of all the Central Amer- ican States. He has no natives of Nicaragua under his command, except here and there a nominal officer or official, who is really his prisoner. The Hon. John Bell.—A day or, two since, we copied from an exchange a story saying that Senator Bell, of Tenn., designed resign- ing his seat in Congress. Subsequently we have satisfied ourself that there is no truth in it whatever. The resignation of a seat in the U. S. Senate is a very rare occurrence indeed. We feel assured that no such funny idea has ever entered the mind of either Mr. Bell, of Tenn., or his namesake of New Hampshire. Resignation of an Army Officer —The re- signation of Second Lieut. John 8. Bowen, regiment of mounted riflemen, has been ac- cepted by the President, to take effect May 1, 1856. The Current Operations of the Treasury Department.—On yesterday, 17th of April, there were of Treasury warrants entered on the books of the Department— For the redemption ofstocks.... $4,299 89 For the Treasury Department... 77 85 For the Interior Departmen’ 12,413 32 For Customs.....sssceseees 53,408 56 War warrants received and en- COTOd.crcecesesceercoccscoscece 6,370 41 War repay warrants received and entered..serreseesevecs oe 5,508 05 From miscellaneous source: oo 2,121 74 ————cq0“__ CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, the Bounty Land Bill was debated on proposed amendments, until they adjourned In the House, the Senate amendment to the Deficiency bill, appropriating $20,000 for ‘the agricultural branch of the Patent office, was debated in committee until near their adjournment, when it was amended by adding $10,000 thereto; and as thus amended, it was adopted. The committee then rose. The President's message, transmitting Ex- ecutive Department reports and other data bearing on the Indian war in Washington and Oregon Territories, was next referred. r. Lane presented various memorials of the Legislature of Oregon, which were re- ferred and ordered to be printed. And then they adjourned, In the Senate, to-day, after the presenta- tion of a few petitions, they went into an Ex- ecutive session, wherein they remained until after the Star went to press. In the House, the report of the Court of Claims was again taken up, and the question of the proper disposition to be made of it, was again discussed. Mr. Walker addressed the House in favor of the reference of the bills reported on fa- vorably from the said court directly to the Committee of the whole House. Lee Ss GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCR. Geor@etown, April 18, 1855. Among the other changes and improvements which have been recently made in our city, we discover that one of our High street hotels, long and favorable known as the Montgomery house, has recently undergone a thorough overhauling and change of proprietors. Mr. R. Stephens, the embodiment of fun and good humor, who, for many years, catered to the appetites and comforts of the numerous guests of this house, has retired, and Mr. Linn, of Baltimore, has taken his place. Mr. L. has not only remodeled (so far ag the interior is concerned) this popular hotel, but fitted up and furnished it on the modern plan, and in a manner which will render it a place of real rest and comfort to the weary traveler The Masonic Brotherhood of our city have it in contemplation to erect, at an early day, a hall for the accommodation of their Lodge. A large portion of the stock necessary for the urchase of a lot, and erection of a building, as already been subscribed. The site whic will be selected for the building will doubt- less be somewhere contiguous to the public square, where such an improvement will be an ornament to the town. We bid them God speed in the good work. The subject of annexation to Washington continues to be agitated among many of our citizens. Whether any serious efforts will be made at an early day to secure the consumma- tion of such a project we are not prepared to say. We have discovered in our wanderings, however, that not a few of our leading and most influential men are warm advocates of such a change. We take pleasure in eoting ste attention of the citizens of your city to the advertisement of our young friend Mr. John W. Myers, in another column. We have known him long and well, and can assure all who may patron ize him that they will find him prompt and accommodating, and always prepared with a full supply of everything in the way of fuel, to be disposed of on the most accommodating terms Ladies, go to Smoot’s. [tis a perfect treat just to pass in, much less to examine his large stock of the finest and most beautiful descrip- tion of dry goods. Fine feathers, they say, makes fine birds After you get through at Smoot’s, then go to Mrs. Lane’s and Miss McDonald's, where you will find some of the most beautiful bonnets you ever did see. The Rev. Mr. Brown, of the M E. Church, leaves in a few days te attend the General Conference which meets in Indianapolis, In- diana. Our corporate authorities are actively en- gaged giving our streets, alleys, &c., a tho- rough cleaning. We have no recollection of ever seeing our city, as a general thing, pre- sent a more cleanly appearance. A thunder storm passed over our city late yesterday afternoon, accompanied by a re freshing shower of rain We hear of no change in the markets since our report of yesterday. Prices remain eub- stantially the same. Spectator, TRIAL oF THE WakEMANITES.—The whole tribe of Wakemanites—Rhoda Wakeman, Samuel Sly, and Miss Hersey, will be put on trial this morning, at 9 o'clock, before the Superior Court. Perhaps no trial that ever took place in this city has occupied so much of public attentien as this. The interest in the case is not confinedto New Haven, but in other parts of the country people feel particu- larly interested in the result of this remarka- ble trial.—_New Haven Courier, April 16. Tue Seminore War.—We learn from the Talahassee Sentinel that Gov. Broome, des- pairing of accomplishing any thingin refer- ence to the Indian difficulties, by correspond- ence, has come to Washington to state the ease in person to the President and Secretary of War. If he fails, he will immediately convene the Legislature of Florida. He has no money, and no means of raising money. He is powerless and cannot afford adequate protection to the frontiersmen without au- thority of law. Cacrrornia Ponrticar Ireas.—The House of Assembly adopted a resolution condemna- tory of the election of Banks, as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives The Senate, on the 13th ult., rejected that resolution, and tabled a substitute to the ef- fect that California declined to interfere in sectional dissensions. This substitute was con- sidered a matter of policy, for the organs of the American party in this State, almost without exception, are bitterly opposed to Banks and his ‘‘sectional’’ views. Measures had been taken for the organiza- tion of a Republican party in California, but there had been no public demonstration, There was a municipal election in ° ville, onthe 17th ult. The democrats Neabed almost their entire ticket, by majorities Tang- ing from 70 to 200. The Know Nothings, at the State election, carried the city by 400 majority. In September, 1855, there were 1,600 votes cast ; in March, 1856, 1,500, PERSON. ++». Chanfrau and Madame Albertine are at Charleston, 8.

His disease was con- gestion of the brain. s+++ A few days ago, the body of young Miss Haskell, of Portland, Maine, who was suddenly killed in a perilous sled-slide with a company of her friends in Freeport, last win- ter, was recovered. She was about seventeen years old, was a young, beautiful and in- teresting girl, and when recovered from the frozen ice looked as fair ason the day she met her death. ++++ Maturin M. Ballou, proprietor of “Bal- lou’s Pictorial,’’ of Boston, was on Tuesday arrested at the suit of Frank Leslie, proprie- tor of ‘‘Leslie’s Illustrated Newspoper,’? and taken before Judge Woodruff, of the Superior Court, and gave bail in the sum of $3 obo, on the charge of libel. The action is based upon the alleged sending, by the defendant, of an anonymous note to the firm of J. T. Derick- son & Co , paper makers, calculated to injure the credit of the plaintiff with that firm. Damages laid at $20,000. A Srranorz Heap.—The Napoleon (Arkan- sas) Sentinel, of March 2ist, says: “We were shown by Dr. Lebrader, a day or since, @ most remarkable and singular hea¢-—that of Foucher, a celebrated chief of the Creeks The singularity of the head consists in two perfect mouths—a front and rear mouth, with a double set of masticators toeach. It isa remarkable fact that it made no difference to his eating or feeding operations which mouth he used, as either answered the same purpose, but whenever he imbibed from the rear mouth drunkenness ensued much sooner than if he had taken it from the front. Such a head is worthy of the study ef anatomy of the meii- cal faculty.’’ We think the Arkansas editor must have been strongly under the influence of Bourbon when he saw that head. ALEXANDRIA CORRESPONDENCE, ALEXANDRIA, April 18, 1856. The season at Fishtown is in full tide. An immense amount of fish come up every day, and wagon after wagon drives away with stores forthe winter. The railroad too and the canal convey away large quantities ; yet night and day thousands on thousands are sent up from below, and still find purchasers ready. The season go far has been very suc- cessful, and promises to continue so A new parish of the Protestant Episcopal church was organized on Tuesday night at the Lyceum Hail, under the appropriate title of Grace Parish of the city of Alexandria. Messrs. D. Funsten, Jas. Entwisle, jr., W. J. Entwisle, J. H. D. Smoot, F. C. Atkinson, C. RK. Hoaf, C. C. Berry, and Cassius F. Lee, were chosen vestrymen of the new parish The Know Nothings here are still on the anxious seat. The harness of Sam’s Alexan- dria team has grown extremely weak by the cuttings out and puttings in, and the tyings and patchings of the various conventions, and some of the leaders have now broken traces and won’t be hitched up again.
