~ a ae NING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE T NDAY Scuoot Union of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church in Potomac District of the Baltimore Conference, according to previous arrangoment, assembled at Lafay- ette Square, at nine o'clock. m., and formed in procession. There wi very large number of teachers and children from nearly all the schools in Potomac district, which in- cludes the adjoining counties of Virginia and Maryland, and the District of Columbia. The arrangements were good, and very strict- W complied with. We noticed in the line eber and Espata’s brass bands, besides martial music. Inthe latter department four little boys from the Garrison, experts at the drum avd fife, elicited much admiration. The procession attracted the attention of thousands of admiring spectators, who lined the sidewalks, some with an cye to the beauty and attractiveness of the children, and others to the ditto ditto of the female teacheresses so bewitching in their white dresses, and with their coquettish little blue, green, and purple sun shades. : The procession was very long, occupying twenty-two minutes in passing the Star office The schools proceeded to the Capitol grounde, when the exercises as laid down ia the pub- lished arrangements were carried out. his evening ® meeting of ihe friends of Sunday Sehvols isto be held in Foundry church. Ad- dresses are to be delivered by Rev Dr. Kid- der, secretary «f the Sunday School Union, “and Jobn C. Harkness, Esq, of this city. To-morrow evening a fellowship meeting is to be beld in that church, and Sunday sermons are to be delivered in the respective cha: of the District, and collections taken up in behalf of the Sunday School Union of that church. Sarita es. tags Corporation or Wasuixa- tox.—This action, which has just been tried, was brought by the plaintiff against the de- feadants forinjury sustained by the regrading K street in front of her premises, in Franklin Kow, in doing which they cut down that etreet some five or six feet, injuring. as she alleged, the value and use of her house. From the evidence it appeared that the street had been graded under the direction of the corporation in 1830, and bad remained at that grade until the summer of 1351, when the street was cut down by the direction of the defendants some two feet, and then gravelled and left, and the faliof the same year they caused it to be again graded by cutting it down about three feet more. The grading destroyed the shade trees in front of plaintiff's premises, and ren- dered a stone wall in front,and other im- provements, necessary for the convenient use of ker hous No compensation was made by the city for the injuries sustained The plaintiff sought to recover the expenses incurred and damages sustained by these gradings in 1851. The defendants insisted that the general publie good required the al- terations made inthe grade. The case finally turned upon a question of law. The defend- ants contended that they had, under the act of Congress, the right to regrade whenever, in their judgment, it was necessary and proper ; and that they were not responsible indamages unlezs plaintiff showed that they acted cor- y, or with the malicious design of injur- plaintiff. On the other side, it wasin- sisted that when the corporation had estab- listed the grade of a street, that they had no rf = to injare property with to the owner, as had in three cases out of seven in the n front of Franklin Row The i the jury that the corporation to regrade the streets in the ton, under itscharter, without making compensation for individual injuries, unless the plaintiff showed that they acted corruptly, or with the design to injure; and that the jury must precume they acted legally until one of these things was proved. They leld that the power to grade was a continuin, power, to be exercised whenever they deeme: it proper to do To these instructions the plainuff s couns ok exceptions. The jury, under there inst ons, rendered a verdict in favor of defendants The plaintiff there- upon took steps to remove the cause to the Supreme Court, where the question of law will be finally settled. Counsel for plaintiff, R. H. Gillet; for de- fendants, J. H Bradley. h Coxrvsion or Mostcipan Accounts.—Some of our city officials, we are told, have taken great exception to the declaration of the pre- amble to the anti-Kuow Nothing resolutions that the municipal accounts in great + yet a number of evidences of the c pointed to. Among others our at- n has been called to one in which the gister of the city has paid, as the full suount due for excess of damages over bene- fits in the appraizsement of an alley, $205.40, wh be amount actually due was $280.59— leaving the party to whom the money duc wronged out of $7519. When the ter s attention was called to this matter fter referring to the entry of the as- n the Tax Collector's books, he was tle toexplain the mistake, and asked for time to consider and examine i the matter, ou the plea that he was very busy. The fact is ertheless, beyond doubt, as stated. There is no criminal design imputed to the Register of the city by the councilman from the Second Ward (Mr. Jefferson) who discovered this er- Tor, but be does say that the error shows a negligence in keeping and settling the ac- uuts which is altogether inexcusable. Covrt or Craims. —Yesterday, Judge Black- ford delivered his dissentiog opinion in the ease of David Wood es. the United States, illegally exacted. bilip chimsen, of New York city, and John A Godfrey, Esq., of San Frane isco, were sworn and admitted attorneys of this court In the case of Joseph Clymer vs. the Uni ted States testimony was ordered to be taken The case of Matthew G.

Adjourned. Farewe. Bexerit —Mr. J. Jefferson, af- ter having made a lasting impression on our memories in connection with the histrionic art in our city, is about leaving us. He de- parts for Europe about the middle of the coming month, and returns in August to az- sume the management of the Richmosd The- ®tre, which is a sure guarantee of the success of that establishment; and we congratulate the Richmond folks upon so valuable an ac- quisition to their theatre, at the same time we regret his loss to us. Previous to his de- perture be has beeu tendered a complimenta- ty farewell benefit by the managers, to take pace on Saturday evening, when be presents en unusually attractive bill.

Mr. Jefferson appears in the farce in his rich character of John Peter Pillicoddy. To-morrow night is set spect for the benefit of Mr. Hackett. on which oceasion the Merry Wives of Windsor will be produced, with Mr Hackett as Fal- staff. On Saturday night, Mr. Jefferson takes his farewell benefit e advise the public to make the most of these sterling actors while they are with us. Nomieatep anv AccepTed.—All identified with the future of our city will be glad to hear that last evening George W. Riggs, Esq., was put in nomination for Alderman of the First Ward, (vice Dr. Wm. B Magruder, re- signed,) by his anti-Know Nothing fellow-cit- izens, and that he has accepted. No man in Washington is better qualified for the post, norean the service of any other man in the position of chairman of the finance committee of the Board of Aldermen just now do as much towards creating general confidence in the management of our city’s finances. For Mooxt Vernon.—The bers and Friday trips of the Thomas Collyer to Mount Vernon, are now in full operation and a more delightful way of spending a day can hardly be imagined than is hereby afforded — Facili- ties a:euffordod forreaching the boat by coaches which leave the Capitol at 84 o'clock on the mornings of the trips, and those wishing con- veyanco from their residences can do so by leaving their names at the store of George & Thomas Parker. Tne Democratic mass meeting of our Ger- man fellow-citizensdast night at the ‘German Hall,”’ Eleventh street, was one of the largest and most enthusiastic ever held by them in this city. The hall waa crowded to the ut- most. They were addressed by Dr. Wm. B. Magruder, the Hon. Messrs. T. B. Florence of Pennsylvania, T. G@. Davidson of Louisiana, and Senator Brown of Mississippi. The meet- ing then adjourned over to Friday night, when speeches in the German language will be made. LatHam’s FINE NEW omnibuses are doing good service and bringing in their enterpri- sing proprietor both eash and credit. r. Latham, in conveying large parties to the Glebe fair, gave mucn satisfaction; and we presume his services will becalled into requi- sition upon similar occasions. We consider men of Latham’s stamp as public benefactors : and it is pleasant to sec them receiving their full share of public encouragement. AssacLts.—Yesterday, Mr. E. T. Ellis was charged with an assault on a colored woman at Dr. Haw’s farm; he appeared at Justice Smith’s, and gave bail forcourt. We under- stand that the colored woman violently abused Mr. Ellis’s sister, which caused him to get into the difficulty. Wm. Bell, Mr. Ellis’s brother-io law. for an assault on Dr. Haw, gave security for peace. Tae Pustic Scuoons —In the Senate, yes- terday, Mr. Brown, from the Committee on the District of Columbia, reported a bill to provide for the public instruction of youth and primary schools throughout the county of Washington, in the District of Columbia, without the limits of the eities of Washington and Georgetown. Superior cigars, tobsceo, snuff. and other articles in this line, can be found at Hall’s cigar store, near Adams’ Express office. Wartca Retcrnxs.—Mrs. Margaret Williams, found drunk and sleeping in a wood shed on Tenth street, near G; workhouse thirty days. [APVERTISEMENT, Mr. McCotcwex.—Mr. Editor: Having but lately come to this city I have not as yet voted here, but will do so on Monday next. I have always opposed the Know Nothing party; but, todo justice to whom justice is due, I would like to call the attention of the voters of the Third Ward to the merits of one of their late members, who is a candidate for re election, without distinction of party. I refer to Mr. John H.G. MzCutchen. He has been a faithful representative, and is no man’s man, but his own; being allied to no clique. Lam, and always have been, opposed to the Know Nothing party, and will vote the entire Union ticket in the Second Ward. I do not know Mr McC when I see him; knowing him only as a Counci!man from the Third Ward through the published proceedings of the Council Board Orvice Hotper.

Sr. 18, May 27—The Republican and Democrat both have letters from Kansas rela- tive tothe attack on Lawrence. The Dem- ocrat’s correspondent says that the stores and dwelling-bouses were in iecriminately breken open and robbed after the attack on Lawrence One man, & Mr> Johnson, had $2,000 worth of drafts and land warrants stolen from him. Mr Toplif, appointed last fall a colonel of militia by Governor Shannon, was robbed of hiscom- mission, private papers, watoh, aud $300 ; aleo all his clothing. The house and library of Mr. Brown, editor of the Herald, re fired twice, but extinguished by the citizens. The Reptblican learns through Col Brew- erton that on the 23d two hundred Froe-State men collected at Lawrence. The garrison at Franklin was probably attacked by the Free- State men on the night of the 2: It was understood that Gov. Shannon would order 100 United States troops to be stationed at Osawattomie, 100 at Lawrence, and 100 at To- peka At Osawattomie, Judge Cato, of the United States District Court, had been pre- vented from holding court by threats of vio- lence from the Free-State men, Judge Pain had passed through Leavenworth on bis way to Georgia. _ A parsoager by the steamer Morning Star iofirms the Democrat that Sheriff Jones in- tended to proceed immediately to Topeka wiih the intention of destroying the town. Four new murders had been comwmitted. Cuicaco, May 28.—The Westnort Times of the 23d states that the Congressional Investi- gating Committee were still at Leavenworth. Mr. Schuyler writes that Mr Conway and himself were set at liberty on the 20th. Mr Brown was still a prisoner at Lecompton, and Gov. Robinson was in a similar situation After the arms in Lawrence had been deliv- ered, Gov. Shannon was requested by the citizens to interfere and prevent outrages, but declined Mr. Schuyler then calied upon Mr. Oliver to induce him to use his influence with Gov. Shannon, and Mr. Sherman made a sim- ilar request. Mr Oliver promised to answer in fifteen minutes, but neglected. Previous to the entering Lawrence, Goy. Skannon agreed that if the arms were delivered to Col. Sumner, only 3 sufficient number of men would be allowed to enter to make arrests. Afterwards he declared that the arms should be delivered up to the posse, and that the hotel, Herald office, and breast- works should be destroyed. The mob shot an Indiar, near Lawrence, in mere wantonness, and the Delaware tribe threaten revenge.
