E. N IN G STAR. on the canvass, as well as in Pennsylva- a By-the-way, why does not Bennett denounce the Republicans for applauding Col. B. so warmly during the contest for Speaker of the House of Representatives, over which he pre- sided really with so much dignity and 0 much to the satisfaction of all for nine long weeks? Bennett's abuse comes rather “ too late for supper’? Col, F. owes much of his promi- nence to the fiend like falsehoods and defa- mation of Bennett; and now in the prime of life and energy, after passing through an or- deal, such as has tried few men, with the unanimous applause of his former and pres- ent enemies—that of the contest for the Speak- ership, in which he won so universal praise— he can easily laugh at the hyena of the New York Herald. Forncy has lived to see Gree- ley and Bennett pigging together in the same stye—to see Bennett following Webb’s lead— and will survive, we hope, to see another Democratic Administration refusing to fasten Bennett upon Louis Napoleon, as the American Minister to France.

The Union jokes over the fact that the Democrats of Lansing, Michigan, are beating the Republicans at their own game. Thus they have placarded the Republican Senators for voting against the repeal of the obnoxious laws of Kansas relative to slavery, in voting against the Senate’s Kansas Pacification bill! The Jutelligencer rejoices over the Old Line Whig movements over the country, and sees in them promise that the Whig party proper will wield great power for good in the ap- Preaching Presidential election. Of the ac- tion of the Senate yesterday on bills from the Court of Claims, that journal says: ‘There was an indication in the Senate yes- terday of some importance to persons who are fortunate enough to have favorable decisions by the Court of Claims. Several leading members of the Senate declared their concur- rence in the opinion that, asa general rule, Congress ought toconfirm the adjudications of the Court; and that, the power of revisal being reserved, there should be no interference except in cases where palpable error in regard to facts might be developed. The tribunal being constituted of able judges, in whose in- telligernce and integrity tae country could confide, Congress should, asa general rule, give them the fullest confidence The position thus taken was not controverted, and the sense of the Senate may therefore be consid- ered as fully indicated by the proceedings which followed.” oe WASHINGION NEWS AND G0ssIP The Mockery.—The recent Old Line Whig State Convention for Maryland was simply @ gathering of Know Nothinga endowed with a plentiful allowance of “cheek.” All its few members have been acting with the Know Nothings ever since the establishment of the order, voting 1or Know Nothing candidates, and defending the principles, measures and policy of that party. The real Old Line Whigs of the State were not represented there. Nor are they responsible for the action of any such Know Nothing assemblage of two-faced politicians. They will deceive none in Mary- land, where the fact that it was altogether a Know Nothing concern is universally under- stood ; and very few indeed out of that State, where as yet that fact may not be 89 generally comprehended. Baltimore Fost Office —The contract made by the Government of the United States for the Exchange Building, for the use of a Post Office and an extension of the Custom House at Baltimore, is said to have been under dis- cussion before the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives. Wo hear that Messrs. J. Morrison Harris, and H. Winter Davis were present, and advocated the removal of the Post-office to a location further up town. Col. Kane appeared on behalf of the owners of the property purchased by the Government, and the interests of the middle and lower sec- tions of the city. The desision of the Com- mittee has not yet been made known. Promoted and Appointed.—The following Promotions and appointment have taken place in the office of the Adjutant General, War Department : Jas. L. Addison to be a fourth class clerk, ($1,800 per annum,) vice J. F. Brown, promoted. Jno, G. Law to be a third class clerk, ($1,600 per annum,) vice Addison promoted. Richard O’Dowd to be a second class clerk, ($1,400 per annum,) vice Law, pro moted. J. F. Cain appointed to a first class clerkship, ($1,200 per annum,) vice O’Dowd> promoted.

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, the bill for the relief of Mra. Susan Decatur was passed. The bill for the relief of Cyrus H. McCormick was then taken up and debated by Messrs. Brown, Pugh, Jones of Tennessee, Douglas, Fessenden, Stuart, Cal- lamer, Hale, Hunter, and others: and it was rejected—yeas 15, nays 23 as; follows : Yeas—Messrs Bright, Br-dhead, Brown, Cass, Dedge, Fessenden, F oster, Hale, Hemilin, James, Mallory, Mason, Thompsonof Kentucky, Thom- son of New Jersey, and Wilson—15 Nays—Messrs. Adams, Allen, Bellof N. H., Benjamin, Biggs. Bigler, Clay, Collamer, Crit- tenden, Evans, Fish, Fitzpatrick, Geyer, Hunter, Iverson, Jones cf lowa, Jones of ‘Tenn., Pugh, Reid, Sildell, Toombs, Trumbull, and Wade—23. The bills for the relief of Hiram Moore and Jobn Hascall, or their legal representatives, and for the relief Obed Hamey: were passed over by general consent. And then after passing a number of private bills, they adjourned. In the House, they proceeded to the fur- ther consideration of the resolution for the expulsion of Mr. Brooks, of S. C., and to cen- sure Messrs. Keitt and Edmundson, which was debated by Messrs. Allison, Simmons and Ejie for it, and Messrs. Bocock and Winslow against it. Mr. English moved, as a substitute for the resolution under consideration, the following : Resolved, That this House hereby declares its disapprobation of the assault made by the Hon. Preston Brooks upon the Hon. Charles Sumner on the 224 of May, and that the House deems this a fit occasion to express its disap- probation of the use of language in debate of a chara >ter personally offensive to individual members of Congress, or to any of the States of the Union. Messrs. Giddings and Campbell of Ohfo, and Morgan objected. Mr Kelsey asked leave to offer the follow- ing amendment to the resolutions reported by the majority of the committee, to follow the preamble: Therefore, Resolved, That said Preston S. Brooks has been guilty of disorderly conduct, and a breach of the privileges of the Senate and of this House. Mr. Letcher objected. The debate on the original resolution was continued by Mr. Giddings in favor of the resolution, Mr. Campbell of Ohio, gave notice of his in- tention of detmanding the question on the reso- tion on Monday. Shortly afterwards they adjourned. the charity of Roman Catholic ladies, at a Roman Catholic institution, and of the fact that bis father was of that faith; not he He says, however, that Fremont was originally intended for the Protestant Episcopal minis- try, being educated, from fourteen to sixteen, to that end. The reverend rifleman makes only o slight mistake in this particular state- ment. It was the Roman Catholic, and not the Protestant Episcopal ministry which has e-caped so happily in failing to ‘‘ bag’’ him. The idea of one’s studying two years on the the charity of pious Roman Catholic ladies, in a Roman Catholic theological institution, by way of preparing himself to enter the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church, is the very last wrinkle, positively, in the pol- ities of the hour' It is too preposterous to be gravely promulged even by aclerical politi- cian, though the class perpetrate most of the silliest and most unblushing tricks that dis- tinguish the extraordinary canvass of the times. We wish the reverend rifleman joy over his prospect of convincing people in their senses, that his suddenly adopted protege and especial pet studied two years on the charity of Roman Catholic ladies, in a Roman Catholic theolo- gival institution, by way of preparing himself for the ministry in the Protestant Episcopal Church!!! Kansas in the House.—We see no reaton to imagine that the friends of Mr. Fillmore in the House, from the North, design voting for the Seuate’s Kansas Pacification bill. A few of them only, will doso. The South may, how- ever, rely on it, that their present purpose is not torisk his prospects at the North by keev- ing the promises drawn from his recent speeches at Albany and Rochester. It was ail very well for him to denounce the Republican party and its purposes there, in view of the then existing prospect that the southern Know Nothings would vote for no northern candi- date; but the idea of having bis immediate frienfis in the House risk his prospect for anti slavery American party votes to the extent of voting for anything that may by any possible chance end in the admission of Kansas as a slaveholding State, is decidedly a horse of another color. They will nibble around the Senate's bill, voting to send it back sad- died with the restoration of the Missouri restriction and perhaps other amendments; but they will not give votes Upen it really likely to compass its enactment. We are curious to see what sort of excuses for their backing and filling upon the measure, when to back and fill upon it imply to aid the Kansas cause of the Republican party, their southern allies in Congress and of the pres«, will put forth. In view of their determ sation in this matter, if the southern Know Nothings continue to feel tickled by Mr. Fillmore’s Albany and Rochester speech- es-etraws, they must be amazing anxious to be hunpifuggled with their eyes open. Col. J. W. Forney left Washington yester dey morning for Penneylvania and, we hear, his family will follow him in a few days. If it will do the New York Herald any good to know, we inform that journal, that Col, F. was never more active than at the present moment; and never were his Services more a by his friends bere who are superin- Proceedings of Te-Day. The Senate was not in session to-day. Inthe House, Mr Campbell, of Ohio, gave notice again of his intention to move the pre- vious question on the Brooks expulsion resolu- tion on Monday morning, and that he would withdraw that demand only to afford the members arraigned under the resolution an opportunity to address the House upon it, if they should desire to do so. Mr. Cullen then took the floor and was ad- dressing the House in favor of the portion of the resolution applying to Messrs. Brroks and Keit’, and P| 2 @ t tl rt be!
