rrr rere er EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: FRIDAY.... -+-May 30, 1866. {[7~ Advertisements should be handed in by 12 o’elosk, m., otherwise they may not appest Until the next day. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The leader of the Union isupon Mr Cramp- ton’s dismissal and Mr. Marcy’s reply to Lord Clarendon, and closes us follows : “ The whole case is presented by Mr. Marcy in a style at once dignified, pacific, and for- i whilst the argument is so clearly and logically wade that it admits of no answer. As the caze now stands, we have only to re- peata remark made some days ago: that the nds on which Mr. Crampton s dismissal is placed, furnish no reasonable cause to ap- rebend any interruption of the amicable re- Fiions between the two governments; and we cannot but indulge the expectation that when Mr. Marcy’s reply reaches London, the British cabinet will promptly acquiesce in the course of our government, as the only one consistent with our national self-respect. It will be seen clearly that our government has much additional evidence fully sustaining the guilt of the accused parties, and that re- cent developments furnish further reasons why our government cannot consent longer to bold diplomatic intercourse with him.”’ The Union in an artiele headed, “ The Union and harmony of the Democratic party,’ says: “Amid the solicitude so generally felt in regard to the action of the Cincinnati Conven- tion, it is gratifying to observe that it is entire- ly free from that embittered feeling produced by conflicting views and sentiments and per- sonal preference, overriding good sense, good temper, and party obligations, and pushed to the offensive length of exclusiveness. The latform of resolutions adopted by our friends in all the States, while embracing the same cardinal principles of the Democratic faith, have also recognised the wisdom and patriot. ism of the great measures inaugurated by a Democratic administration, sanctioned by a Demoeratic Congress, and whieh will soon be gloriously ratified by a grateful people.” The Intelligencer in discussing the enlist- ment question, expresses its regret at— “ The extreme issue to which the Executive has brought this protracted controversy by thus definitively dismissing the British Minis. ter and revoking the exequaturs of Consuls Barclay, Math ind Roweroft, who are al- leged to have jicated in a violation of our serene 4 fer while, from the disclosures which had already transpired rela- tive to the determination of the President to persist in his extreme demand, notwithstand- ing the conciliatory assurances and ample apologies contained in Lord Clarendon’s last despatch, we are not surprised by the an- mouncement of the final step which he has taken in this diplomatic squabble, yet candor requires us Done the less te confess our regret that the President's convictions of public duty have exacted at his hands a requisition so un- gracious, and which, as we are constrained to think, w: ot demanded by the nature of the unintentions! offence committed, and, least of all, after the repeated disclaimers by which bey British Government has sought to atone ir it.’ The Intelligencer thinks, however, that we have ‘‘no reason to fear that any disturbance of the peace, now so happily subsisting be- tween the two countries, will result from this ‘inexorable policy’ of the Executive Its ten- dency to alienate the sympathies and to chill the cordial good feeling which should always be cherished by both countries alike is what we chiefly depreeate in the present aspect of the case.”’ ————q~-— WASHINGTON NEWS AND Gossir Know Nothing Misrule—The Remedy — We believe there are a great many residents of Washington who seldom manifest much concern in its municipal elections, and who under ordinary circumstances do not even trouble themselves to go to the polls on the day of such an election. If any at present indulge in this apathetic feeling in relation to the election which is to take place on Monday next, it must be be- cause they have regarded Know Nothingism as an ephemeral excitemext necessarily seon todie cut, and who are, therefore, not disposed to wrangle with the generally obstreperous and often verdant disciples of *‘ Sam,” but prefer to let so much of this silly and intolo- rant tsm as is not already merged in the Black Republican party perish ignobly by /slo dese. As tax-payers they knowingly submit to be fleeced, under an expectation that the evil will soon cure itself without any exertion on their own part. To such persons we propose to address a few words, with a view of indu- cing them to change their purpose of absten- tion, and of urging them to join the great mass of the citizens at large in active exer- tions to put an end to the imbecility and cor- ruption which have characterized the city government in the hands of the Know Noth- ings, and which the success of their new can- didates will rather increase than diminish Ifthe Know Nothings are defeated, in the change which wil! «neue, the irregularities,the blunders, the corruptions in the City Hall will terminate, and in their stead we shall have order, correctness, and good manage- ment The bad personal feeling which has been so generally generated throughout the city by the ascendancy of Know Nothingism, will be succeeded by a duration of good feel- ing. Citizens will be able todiscuss measures of local policy on their real merits, and not with regard to the influence they may have on the fortunes of a senseless and intolerant party; and, thus set free from the invisible and irresponsible power in the Know Nothing lodges, the city will resume its career of pros- perity; her young men, who are now driven into ether cities to seek for employment, (ex- cept a few who are employed on the Govern- ment work, and whose employment a Know Nothing member of Congress has lately been taking measures to suspend,) will return and be kept busy here; handsome edifices and comfortable cottages will arise; property will enhance in value; and all the channels of business must soon feel a beneficial impetus. It is not extravagant to say that Know Noth- ingiem has, to a great extent, away, driven capital checked improvements, and rendered remunerative labor difficult to obtain in the city. The improvements of our streets, au- thorized by lew, will, in the change we ave contemplated, be carried into effect, and such laws not remain a dead letter, as at present, on account of the manner in which the funds have been disbursed ; no favors will be shown in earrying on improvements, or in paying the honest debts of the Corporation ; equal and exact justice to all will be the order of the day; prompt and polite attention will be paid by the city cfficials to those who have business with them; the police will be reno- vated and made able for the citizens at large ; our municipal chief wi!) be intelligent, urbane, yet resolute of Purpose when public abuses are to be dealt with 3 and, in short, the city will be made worthy the days of the Many estimable men who have been called to administer its affairs before Know Nothingism sprang into existence. These and many other benefits will surely follow the defeat of Know Nothingism at our election on Monday next. The Challenge.—We learn that Genera) Lane, of Oregon, was, yesterday, the bearer of a challenge from Hon. P. 8. Brooks, of South Carolina, to Hon. Henry Wilson, of Massa- The letterof Mr. Brooks, we learn, chusetts. concludes thus: «I, therefore, hold myself at liberty by this note to request that you will inform me with- out delay where and when outside of this Dis- trict a further note will find you.”” Gen. Wilson replies : “I characterized. on the floor of the Senate, the assault upon my colleague as “ brutal, murderous and cowardly.”’ [thought so then. I think so now. I have no qualifications whatever to make in regard to those words. I have always ded duelling as the linger- ing relic of a barbarous civilization, which the law of the country has branded as a crime. While, therefore, I religiously believe in the righs of self-defense in its broadest sense, the law of my country and the matured convio- tions of my whole life alike forbid me to meet you for the purpose indicated in your letter.’’ Vote Early —It is to be hoped that every anti-Know Nothing voter of Washington, draw- ing wisdom from the experience of our last municipal election, comprehends the import- ance of essaying to get in his vote as near the opening of the polls as possible. The fact that the number of precincts is doubled and the time during which the polls are to be kept open is lengthened, furnish no reason for ne- glecting the prime duty of voting as early as possible. At the last election the anti-Know Nothing cause lost full five hundred votes, owing to the difficulty attending the getting them in, most of which loss would have been avoided if the voters weilding them had at- tended early and kept their places in the lines until reaching the windows. Nine-tenths of the violence that disgraced that election and deterred hundreds from persevering until they could exercise their right, ocourred in the af- ternoon, when the laggards came on in crowds. It is the duty of every voter, of whatever Politics, to strive to deposite his vote as early as possible on Monday next. An Old 'Un.—Yesterday we saw, in this city, a Roman silver coin, weighing about as much as two of ourten-cent pieces will weigh, and of the diameter of the 12$-cent piece. It was coined as early as A. D. 80!!! and its execution is not inferior to many of the silver coins of this era. On one side it bears the ingoription “‘ Tiberius Imperator,” around a raised bust of the Emperor Tiberius, on the throne when it was coined; a very marked and distinct countenance, indeed. On the other side, it bears a raised figure of a fomale (seated) resting one hand on a lance standing onthe ground, and bearing a branch in the other hand. It was sent toa friend in Wash- ington by Buckingham Smith, Esq _, the Sec retary of the Legation of the United States in Madrid, who is himself a distinguished numismatist and literary antiquarian. Telegraphic Feat.—The voluminous and important documents communicated yester- day to Congress by the President, concerning our relations with England, were transmitted by the telegraphic agents of the associated press to the principal cities northward, and appear this morning in the columns of the leading journals of those cities. falt Lake Mail —By telegraphic despatch from Independence, Mo., dated May 28, we learn that the Salt Lake mail, which left Salt Lake on the Ist of April, arrived at Indepen- dence on the 29th of April. It wasdelayed in consequence of high weather and deep snow in the mountains. Removal —It was rumored on the Avenue yesterday afternoon that Virgil D. Parris, special agent of the Post Office Department for the New England section, had been removed. The Current Operations of the Treasury Departmont.—On yeterday, the 29th of May, there were of Treasury warrants entered on the books of the Department— For the redemption of stooke. $23 697 80 For the Treasury Department 13,002 14 For the Interior Department... 4,088 24 For Custom: te eeeeenessceee 3,523 38 War warrants received and en- 22,820 20 2,288 21 17 28 On account of the Navy.. 38 082 45 re —___ CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, the President's message concerning the dismissal of Mr. Crampton, with documents relating thereto, were read, and ordered to be printed. Mr. Mason [we quote from the Intelligen- cer’s report] expressed the pleasure he felt at learning the conciliatory tone of Lord Clar- endon’s dispatch, and complimented Mr. Marcy's letter as being at once temperate, calm, and courteoue, aud no doubt would be received by the British Government in the same amicable manner that Lord Clarendon’s dispatch had been received here. Mr. Cass had listened with pleasure to the reading of the despatch of the Secretary of State. He regarded it as a conclusive and powerful analysis of the whole case. It seemed to him that the honor of the country imperiously required the dismissal of the Brit- ish Minister, aud his only regret was that it had not been done long ago. He held that this suspension of intercourse was a very com- mon circumstance; indeed, he believed that it waa an ordinary occurrence to inquire of gov- ernments if ministers would be acceptable. He alluded to his case when appointed Min- ister to France, and said that he remained in London until it was ascertained that it would be agreeable to France to receive a Minister Engiand had sent a Minister out of her coun- try under a guard. Indeed he might cite nu- merous instances of such suspension of inter- course, if it was necessary. It was no cause for war uor would war grow out of it unicas England was determined to proceed toit. The document was an important one, and would ought for with much avidity as containing elements of history, and he would move to print 10,000 additional copies. Mr Toombs admitted that the dismissal of the British Minister did not of necessity lead to the disturbance of our pacific relations with Great Britain; but still ne could but re- ret that the ter had taken the course it ad. Our Government having been satisfied, as it epee with the representations made by Great Britain, the British Minister ought to have been permitted to remain. He thought it was in vain for us to say that the subject in dispute had been satisfactorily ex- plained, to declare that the apology or expla- nation of the British Government was ac- cepted, and then to remove the Minister who was the occasion of the dispute. While he agreed with our Gevernment that the expla- Ration of Lord Clarendon was sufficient, yet be thought they had greatly erred, after ob- peered that explanation, to interrupt the dip- B intercourse between the two countries. ‘© expressed the opinion that the matter had been pressed to a point of pettife ng, rather than of statesmanship ed not eoneur with the construction given by our Govern- ment to the neutrality laws. He did not think the British Government had violated them iu any rae po it had done Now that negotiations had terminated, he took the cccasion to express his dissent from the views of bis own Government. Mr. Butler eed with the Senator from Georgia (Mr. Toombs) that it was peculiarly untortunate that the British Minister should havo been dismissed after all this protracted correspondence. During the time when the Allies were engaged in the war against Rus- sia it was highly proper for our Goverrment to have said, ‘“‘ hands off,’’ so far as regards our own people, in this controversy ; but after the war had ceased, he thought the course scarcely proper. He would not say that the British Government had a right to take ex- ception to it, but he would have preferred to have had it done in the first instance or not atall. He saw po reason why the two Gov- ernments should be involved in commercial difficulties and scenes of retaliation, much less in actual war. He should regard that as a great calamity. It/was one of those things he desired to avert, so far as he could do so by his counsel, consistently with the honor of his country. The Minister had been dis- missed, and he menponed the developments afforded what our Government considered a justification for it; but he thought, from the temper which pervaded the correspondence of Lord Clarendon, and the tone of feeling that seemed to exist in both countries, this would be regarded as a most inopportune time for thus dissolving diplomatic relations. He would not say that our Government was not justified, but must be permitted to think it had chosen an inopportune period for its action. Mr. Pratt desired to call attention to the fact that the letter of apology on the part of the British Government was dated after the eace ay established by the Powers of Gere - Whatever might have been the state of adairs at the time when the offence was given, England was certainly relieved from all expectation of difficulty with any European Power at the time when the apology was made whioh was deemed sufficient by our Govern- ment. The offence charged was that England had attempted to enlist soldiers hete while en- gaged in war with a country with which we were at peace. The Government, after that peace, had disclaimed gmy intentien of viola- ting the luw of which we had complained. Ho deemed it, then, beneath the dignity of this Government to turn off the mere agent, who had made a similar disclaimer, when the British Government was released from all res- ponsibility. After brief rejoinders by Messrs. Cass and Mason the conversation dropped. Bills granting public lands to the States of Wisconsin, Alabama, Louisiana, and Michi- gan to aid in the construction of railroads were passed, and the [ron Mountain railroad bill was debated at considerable length, ere they adjourned until Monday. In the House, Mr Grow reported a bill for the admission of the State of Kansas into the Union, and the 25th of June was fixed for its consideration. A resolution was adopted calling upon the President of the United States for any official information in his possession in regard to an arrangement by the principal European Pow- ers on the subject of privateering. The House then agreed to adjourn over un- til Monday (the Sergeant-at-Arms having been directed to fit up the Hall for summer) with the understanding that they would adjourn from time to time throughout the whole of next week; and then they adjourned.

THE AFFRAY IN THE SENATE.— BR There is much. dt of opinion ir regatd tothe Brooks and Bumner affair. Some gen'lemen seem to think that Mr Brooks did wrong incaning Mr. Sumner in the Senate. Most persons agree, however, @ chastisement should bave been administered ; but the place is = question. t aoe to me that Mr. Sumner received his yunishment in the right ¢, and to have in- icted it elsewhere would not have given that dignity to the transaction which the circum- stances called for, nor would it have harmonized with the Constitution of the United States. The sixth section of the first article of ‘he Con- stitution says,—‘‘for any speech or debate in either house they (the Senators and Represevta- tives) sball not be questioned in any other place.’’ Now, by the very words of the Constitution, it is evident that Mr. Brooks could not have " ished Mr. Sumner ‘‘in any other place’’ withcut his violating his oath, unless, indeed, he could be justified upon the axiomatic rule that “ neces- sity knows no law ”’ tt members of e Congress are made to know that they will cert dnly be held to a personal yespon- sibility for insulting remarks, either in debate or otherwise, they will, I am sure, very seldom use them. Suppoted impunity only gives + vil doers con: . and js the cause of nine-tenths of the insults offered in and out of Con; No man can tamely submit to insulting reflections upon his honor without degradation. and so long as the Jaw does not punish those who give insults, self- respect must constrain gentlemen to resent the indign bf nity. Liberty of speech is a precious immunity— pecumiea by the Constitation; but Mbert: | of abUSE is neither warranted by the National Chi - ter, nor the principles of good-brerding Hence, Mr. Sumner was not authorized. according to either rule, to stigmatize Senator Butier, who is confessed by his peers to be the impersonation of chivalry and honor, as a liar and Fool, without reprehension. pon the question of the mode of the chastise- ment good men may well differ; but upon the proposition that honor required a Proper rebuke to Mr. Sumner for his swaggering insolence in so characterizing the venerabie Butier, no one wiil doubt that such rebuke was prompted by a oper principle of self-respect and a due regard for the courtesies which should obtain between gentie- men Th's chartisement will, doubtless, act like a sedative among our legislators. A few moresuch salutary examples will greatly improve the style of the Co. Honal debates, and ladies will te able to attend them without being insulted by such indelicate remarks as were indulged in by Mr. Sumner in his late ‘un-American and un- perenne speech,’’ as Gen. Cass has soaptly styled t. The Abolitionists of Boston seem quite indig- nant because a Sou hern gentleman punished oue of their representatives for insulting the @ato of the Senate But when a Maryland slave-holder ing bis property under the Constitution in Peansylvania, and was brutally murdered at Cohrietiana by Abolition fanatics, no howling voice was then raised to condemn the atrocious and cowardly act. And even in Boston, when that poor Irishman, Batchelder, an officer of the United States sworn todo his duty, was mur- dered in cold blood, not one word of sympathy for his bereaved family, or in condemna ton of the infamous act, came from those pious fanatics cf that saintly city! Inthe one case they ap. prove the murder of innocent men; but in the other the mere can ng of a fanatic is of more con- sideration to them than the lives of citizens pur- suing their rights under the guaranties of the Constitution !
