ra ay EVENING STAR. ~~ Tas nimeTon oITY: Oo _ TUESDAY sy Bet aesee.- Sully 22, 1856. eS ——————ee a" The late delivery of a portion of our edition of yesterday was eaused by the de- rangement and breakage of the presz, and not from the negligence of the carriers. —_—_—_—o SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Unton urges the country to read true mecounts of the outrages in Kansas, and in- sists that much the greater portion of them are the work of the “ Free State’’ party. In another article on the same subject the Union republishes the deposition of the Hon. Daniel Mace before the Kansas Investigating Com- mittee, prefacing it with the following re- marks : ‘ The much-controverted question as to the origin of these troubles is put to rest by the deposition of Hon. Daniel Mace, which is ap- nded to Mr. Oliver’s minority report in the Rasme dain case. It is proved distinctly by this deposition that the idea of defeating the true object of the Kansas act, which was to enable the dona fide settlers in the Terri- tory to determine for themselves, and perfect- ly uncontrolled by extraneous influences, the character of their domestic institutions ee ated with the members of Congress who had opposed the bill, and immediately after the bill was passed. The first Kansas Aid Society was formed in Washington city, and embraced most of the members of Congress who had op- posed the Kansas bill, and the avowed object was to procure voters to go to Kansas who would at all times oppose the introduction of slavery into the Territory. The Massachu- setts hid Societies were the first fruits of this congressional organization to defeat a law of Congress. To give more efficiency to the Mas- sachusetts preject, a charter of incorporation was obtained, and the prospect of making money was held out as a stimulus to adventu- rers. In this way fanatici-m and avarice en- tered into partnership, and gave the impulse to the sectional agitation which is now con- vulsing the confederacy from its centre to its circumference. The movement, which it is now found had its origin in Washington, pro- yoked similar associations on the borders of Kansas and afterwards in Kansas itself. There is now no difficulty in fixing the true respon. sibility for all the outrages which have been perpetrated in Kansas."’ The Intelligencer’s editorial columns are filled with news, &c., to-day. ———- - a WASSINGIGN NEWS AND Gossir, No Duel.—All those in and around the House ball were, this morning, under terrible excitement over the currert rumors of a duel between the Hon. Messrs. Brooks and Burlin- game. Those connected with the press, sup- posed to know what had taken place between these gentlemen, were hunted down, as it were, by troops of Honorables. We saw cne luckless wight ot a Republican-party letter writer, rushing through the lobby with at least a dozen solicitous gentlemen at his heels; and were ourself questioned on the subject by some two hundred (more or less) of all parties, To set the matter at rest, we have to say that the result of our efforts to get at the bot- tom of the affair, is that we are satisfied that no duel has taken place, as reported. We feel assured that the last published card of Mr. Burlingame resulted in a correspondence be- tween Mr Brocks and that gentleman, and that the former, last evening, placed himself beyond the reach of arrest under the anti- duelling law cf the District ; and further, that the reply of Mr. Burlingame to hisnote having rendered a hostile meeting between them im- possible or improper, Mr Brooks retarned to his lodgings this morning; when he was arrest- ed and bound over Gov Bell, of Texas (of the Hcuse) is his security. The Fillmore Demonstrations of Yester- day.—The Southern readers of Know Nothing proclivities, if really honest in their desire to preserve the rights of the South, as we believe & vost mejority of them to be, should scan with close attention the speeches delivered in the House hall yesterday by Messrs. Haven and Dunn—the two immediate Congressional exponents of Mr. Fillmore himself. The de- livery of these speeches was caused by the failure to consummate the coalition to which we refer in another article to-day. They were marked by great indignation against the Re- publican party for its impracticability, as manifested in its refusal to raise the new war ery of Mr Fillmore—the restoration of the Missouri restriction—on which that distin- guished gentleman has distinctly and formal- ly placed himself in these oratorical efforts of his two exponents named above. There is much, indeed, in Mr. Dunn’s exposure of the want of good faith on the part of the Repub. lieans, in professing to be roused to despera- tion by the repeal of the Missouri restriction, and then refazing plumply and flatly to adopt Mr. Fillmore’s platform in favor of its resto- ration as the purpose to be contended for in in the canvass now began. His bitter taunts fei} with crushing force upon their want of integrity of purpose as manifested in this matter. He proved the sincerity of Mr. Fill more and his immediate friends in taking their stand on the restoration of the Missouri restriction, by boldly advocating the policy of leaving the Government without supplies, to the end of so exciting the Northern popular mind as that the Nortii will surely give over- verwhelming mejority to the only man who (according to bim) can insure peace to the country—Mr. Fillncre—which is to be done by that gentleman s election, and the conse~ quent prompt restoration of the Miseouri re- striction, according to Mr. Dunn, as aforesaid. To all of this, Mr. Haven said amen; declar- ing in his speech that the election of Mr. Fill- more, and the restoration of the Missouri re- striction were, of all things, the very best things that the country can do for its own fu- ture. Such, in few words, is the gist of the efforts of these two immediate exponents of Millard Fillmore. Mr. Dunn, it will be recollected, heads the Fillmore electoral ticket in Indiana, and proposes to take the stump the moment the session terminates We are curious to see how far the programme, which they virtually announee as the policy with reference to the slavery question to be pursued by Mr Fill- more’s administration in case of his election to the Presidency, will be received by the Know Nothing party in the South. {t strikes us that kittens (in politics) seven days old ean see clear enougii into it to comprehend that it involves the use of them (of the South) only to strengthen the cause of “free Kansas,”’ of which Mr. George C. Dunn ts really the espe- cial guardian in the House. Internal Improvements by the General Government .—As we predicted on the enact- ment of the three internal improvement bills lately passed over the Presidential veto, Con. gress (the Senate) have already again gone to work to rush through another batch of them ere the Lerminat‘on of the session. The House CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS Tn the Senate, yesterday, after we went to Press, the bill to secure greater efficiency in the arms, (muskets,) &c , of the Government of the United States, was amended so as to re- duce the aggregate of appropriations under it to $1,800,000, and passed. On motion of Mr. Bayard, the bill making an appropriation for the improvement of the Delaware Breakwater was taken up, and after jing debated | the mover and Messrs. Ham- lin, , and Seward, was passed. Mr. Cass introduced a joint resolution fixing the time for the termination of the sesrion at noon on the 11th of August, proximo; which was adopted. On motion of Mr. Hamlin, the bill making appropriations for certain public works in aine, was taken up and passed. | On motion of Mr. Seward, the bill making an appropriation for the construction of a har- bor at Margvette, on Lake Michigan, was taken up and passed—yeas 21, nays 12. Also, the bill for the improvement of the harbor of Manitowoc, Wisconsin—yeas 23, nays 11. And then, after discussion on the bill for continuing the improvement of the harbor of Racine, Wis. at 4 p. m. they went into Ex- ecutive session ; and when throwing open their doors, they adjourned. In the House, at the termination of the speech of Mr. Watson in favor of the resolu- tions reported by him from the Elections Com- mittee, ousting Bird B. Chapman from his seatin the Hall as the delegate from Ne- braska, and installing in his stead Hiram P Bennett— Mr. Clingman moved to suspend the rule to take up the Senate’s joint resolution fixing the tiwe for the termination of the session at 12 M of the 28th of July inst.; rule not sus- pended—yeas 107. nays 57; not two-thirds. Mr. Sage moved to suspend the rule to take up the bill to improve the navigation of the udson from Troy down; rules not suspended On motion of Mr. Stanton, the rules were suspended, and he introduced a r@olution fixing the daily hour of meeting for the ba'- ance of the session at 11 o’clock a. m.; which was agreed to. Mr. H. Marshall of Ky., reported from the Judiciary Committee a bill to establish an uniferm naturalization law, and *) repeal all existing laws on the subject; which was com- mitted. : The Senate's joint resolution fixing the time for the termination of the session at noon of the llth of August, prox , having been re- ceived— Mr. Smith, of Tenn., moved a suspension of the rules to enable him to submit a motion that the House take up the said resolution: Mr Dunn gave notice that, should the mo- tion prevail, he would move to amend the res- olution by adding thereto the following: Provided, That on or before that day an act shall have passed both Houses of Con- ess, and received the Executive sanction, ‘or the settlement of the troubles in Kansus, and which shall contain, amongst its provi sions, one re-establishing, in terms or in sub- stance, in the said Territory, and also in the Territory of Febraska, the restriction against slavery as it was imposed by the eighth sec- tion of the act of the 6th March, 1820, where- by the State of Missouri was admitted into the Union. Mr. Meacham also gave notice that should an opportunity offer he would move the fol- lowing as a substitute for the resolution of the Senate: Resolved, (the Senate concurring,) That this Congress take a recess from the 4th day of October, provided that no extra mileage be paid any member, or any per diem, during the recess The question was then taken, and the mo tion to suspend the rules was agreed to—yeas 120, nays 46. Mr. Dunn moved to lay this resolution on the table; not laid on the table—yeas 55, nays 105 Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, moved to substitute in it “the 2d of September” for ‘* the 11th of August.’’ Mr. C. argued that the state of the public business was such as to make it imper- ative to continue the session until the time designated in his amendment The amendment of Mr C was next op- Breed by Messrs. Haven, Greenwood and Gid- ings. will of course time to make them laws as the three originals were made laws, if two-thirds votes can be ob- tained forthem. We, however, do not believe that this will be so easily aceomplished, now that the opponents of the system are aware that it is proposed to initiate thus, the con- struction of at least two hundred works of the kind, ere the present Congress comes to an end; which, ere they are completed, will prob- ably cost the tax payers of the country at least fifty millions of dollars. The ides of reducing the aggregate of duties from oustoms just when such a system of in- ternal improvements by the (General Govern- ment is being entered upon, is preposterous. Why, on the contrary, the revenues of the Government will in two years require to be vastly increased, as a matter of course. If the Government is thus to do everything by way of making harbors and navigable rivers where Providence has made but muddy frog ponds and pule-ing creeks and runs, to 0 suit the requirements of speculators in paper-town lots in all quarters of the new States, the preeent rates of duties on imports will soon prove wholly inadequate to thatend. As for reve- nue from the remaining public lands, that is an obsolete idea ; as, going for the most part to aid the construction of railroads made through them, those disposed of after the old fashion will hardly realise more for the national treas- ury than sufficient to pay the cost of keeping up the paraphernalia of the present land of- fice system of the United States. If any fair and just conclusion may be drawn from the existing determination of Con- gress with reference to internal improvements by the General Government, it is that we are entering upon an era of magnificence in the conduct of American public affairs, which, while it will doubtless astonish the Old World, will gripe and grind those who earn with the sweat of their brows the money they will be compelled to pay into the national treasury in extra indirect taxation to furnish the means toclear out the rivers and creeks, and pier scoop and dam the frog ponds, bordering which Messieurs, the speculators in Government lands, have farm tracts and town lots await- ing purchasers. So we go! The Coalition —We mentioned a day or two since that arrangements had been entered into between the Fillmore and Fremont man- agers of Pennsylvania to run but a single op- positions electoral ticket in that State, as well as a single opposition ticket for State officers It is very certain that all the preliminaries had been agreed on, and the New York Tri- dune thereupon set up a shout of joy. But, alas! the slip has taken place between the cup and the lip. Yesterday evening it be- came certain in this city that all their fat is again in the fire. A disagreement has taken place in the arrangement of the details of the coalition, which has ended in a bitter quarrel between the managing men of the two inter- ests in Congress, leading them to denounce each other without stint to-day. The coali- tion was to have embraced other States beside Pennsylvania— Massachusetts, Connecticut, Towa, Ubio, Indiana, Illinois, and New Jer- sey. The Fillmore leaders demanded that the restoration of the Missouri restriction— now the shibboleth of Mr. Fillmore himself— should be the basis of the platform of their united fgrces. To this the Fremonters de murred; as they could not expect to prevail on the ultra anti-siavery men of their respec- tive States to go with them unless agreeing to go further in their professions against the in- stitution of slavery as it exists in this coun- try. The Northern Fillmore leaders believe that their brethren in Maryland, Kentucky, Louisiana, gnd Tennessee, are willing to adopt that position for the sake of electing Mr. Fill- more. Or, in other words, to take ground in favor of the restriction of slavery in the Ter- ritories of the United States; and that if asked to swallow Mr. Fillmore standing on a plat- form which accedes any more than that to abolitionism, they (of the South) will proba- bly rebel. Thus, the proposed coalition has suddenly come to an end; the difficulty being altogether concerning the degree of abolition- ism to be manifested in the future position of the united opposition. rt. Dunn then taking the floor said that he came into this Congress with very high ex ectations that the jee compromise would e restored, and he exceedingly regretted that they had grown smaller and smaller until they were entirely dissipated. He was now persuaded that there would be no peace in the country untilit should be restored, either in substance or in fact. The prohibition of slavery within the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska was a thing to be done, or there would never be peace. He spoke this not in a spirit of taunt or of threat, but asa sober truth. Alluding to Kansas, he declared that until that question was settled the appropria- tion bill should never pass by his vote. He would never give a dollar for any purpose until the great question of individual safety connected with Kansas affairs was settled. [Cries of ‘‘good, good."’] That was the only way in which to insure compliance—stop the wheels of Government In the course of his remarks, he stated that he did not intend to support Mr. Buchanan. He should feel as great a difficulty in going for Col. Fremont. In his opinion, the only man who could give any promise of peace in the adminstration of the Government was he who hailed from New York and lived there and not he who lived there and hailed from California. Mr. Lester moved to lay the whole subject on the table; motion lost. And then the question being on the motion of Mr. Greenwood to strike out the 11th and insert the 18th of August, they adjourned. Good News —We have very late private advices from Maine, Iowa, and Indiana, which satisfy us that those who hope to defeat the triumph of the Buchanan ticket in those States are reckoning wide of the mark. These let- ters were predicated on the expectation that a single Opposition electoral ticket will be run in the two States last named above. If under these circumstances there is no longer a ques- tion as to the result in them, how much more certain is the triumph of Buchanan there with the proposed coalition abandoned, as it was formally yesterday, by the leaders here en- gaged in endeavoring to consummate it. The plan of the two opposition parties in these States, as throughout the whole North, will be to head each other off by bidding each higher than the other for “free Kansas” votes. To this complexion have they come at last ! Proceediags of To-Day. In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Butler intro- duced a bill to change the system of paying members of Congress from the per diem and mileage to an annual salary. . After transacting other usual morning busi- ness of no general interest the bill to protect American discoveries of Guano Islands was taken up and was discused by Messrs. Mason, Seward. Clayton, Hale and Toombs, ere the Star went to press. In the Hovae, the motion to amend the Senate's resolution for the termination of the session on the 11th of August, by striking that time out and inserting the 18th of August, was agreed te; and, as amended, the said resolution was passed. Mr. Fuller of Me., denounced as unfound- ed a statement ot a Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, wherein he was represented as having declared his determi- nation to vote against the contestant in the Nebraska contested election case, in pursu- ance of an arrangement in a Democratio par- ty caucus, &o Mr Phelps also branded as untruo all said in the letter to which Mr. Fuller had referred, concerning the proceedings in the caucus of the Democratic members to which raferred The Nebraska contested election case was then taken up, and Mr. Jewett addressed the Houso in favor of the right of Mr Chapman tothe seat in dispute. The End of the Session.—The proceedings of the House yesterday upon the Senato’s new joint resolution, fixing the 11th proximo for the termination of the session, led us to the conclusion that they will not separate to- day without fixing upon a day; probably the 18th of August, which will afford time for the consummation of most of the remaining real public business of the session P, 8. The Senate will undoubtedly conour in the action of the House this morning, fix- ing 12 m. of the 18th of August proximo, for the terminatlon of the session. Confirmed.—The nominations of John For- syth, of Alabama, to be the United States Minister to Mexico, and Walker Ferne, of Alabama, to be his Secretary of Legation, gre said to have been confirmed yesterday by the Senate without opposition, as we presumed they would be.

Evening Post s: ** Two incidents have of late ocourred which have excited much horror and disgust. A priest at Versailles has been arrested for having given drugs (to produce abortion) toa servant girl whom he had se- duced , and the Grand Vicar of Aix has been detected in perpetrating an uneatural crime with a soldier. Both culprits were with diffi- culty saved from the exasperated people. ‘The theatrical world has been alarmed by the sudden diseppearance of Madeline Bro- bau. This charming actress married some time since the grandson of Mario, no rel#tive of the famous tenor, but soon got tired of her husband, and obtained a legal separation, de corpse et biene He, however, is stil love with his own wife, a strange idiosyncracy in Paris, and runs after her every where.

POLITICAL [TEMS A large number of the ladies of Fall River, Mass , have organized themselves into an as- sociation which they style the ‘‘Jessie Circle.”’ Mr. Louis Thurman. of Richmond, Ky.. has taken the Fourth degree of Know Nothingism. He writes: This is to notify all whom it may concern that 1 have taken the Fourth degreo in Know Nothingism, and intend from now, henceforward and forever, to vote as I please. Gov. Adams, of South Carolina, has ordered a new election to be held on the 28th inst., in the Fourth Congressional district, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Hon. Preston S. Brooks. ‘the Columbia South Car- olinian says: ‘‘ We have no doubt that Col. Brooks's course will be endorsed by bis con- stituents, and he will be returned xemine contradicente to the position which he is emi- nently entitled to occupy as a true and tried representative of South Carolina.”’ An elec- tion has also been ordered in the Third dis- trict, on the same day, to fill the vacancy oc- casioned by the resignation of Hon. L M. Keitt. The Boston Black Republican papers have been quite jubtlant over a claimed adhision of the Germans of that city to Fremont. How the story got afloat is told by the Boston Pilot: “On the 23d ult , the German Turners had a pic-nic to the number of three thousand. As they were enjoying themselves, a red faced corpulent man got up and began to make a Fremont speech, when a nimble fellow got behind him, with a sharp instrumant cut off the tails of his coat, and. that portion of his pantaloons which presented the broadest sur- face, when the laughter of the audience aud the discovery of the accident to the crator that he was not wanted in that crewl.—/?ep, Journal.
