EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: WEDNESDAY... ++-July 30, 1856, 7 Advertisements should be handed in by 12 o’clock, m., otherwise they may not appear until the next day. Notice.—Those charged with the manage- ment of clubs, societies, and all other associa- tions are notified thatin erder to insure the insertion of advertisements or notices of any description in the Star, payment must be made for them when offered, or an arrangement for the payment for the same provided for. There are now on file in our counting room many advertisements, not inserted, because our terms have not been complied with. Thisrule must be imperative. nas SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer explains the purport of the Senate’s bill requiring prepayment of post- age on transient printed matter, as follows: “Weare pence eT, bos na has passed a bill providing for the compulsory | oy eon of all transient printed matter. ‘is, we have no doubt, is a measure neces- sary to protect the Post Office Department against abuse, especjally as we are assured that enormous quantities of private business circulars are put into the mails unpaid, on which scarcely any postage is collected. The Senate bill does not propose any change of the existing law with regard to publications sent to regular subscribers; but only to make the prepayment of the rates compulsory, which the existing law prescribes for transient ‘inted matter when prepaid. In other words, it proposes in effect simply to strike out of the present law the double or unpaid rates on transient matter. . “Of course there can be no difficulty in dis- tinguishing trensient regular printed matter, as the law will continue in force which requires publishers to note on the Sed * the number of papers which are encl for subscribers and the number for printers,’’ or to furnish the postmaster, quarterly, ‘‘a cer- tified statement of the number of papers sent in the mail chargeable with age.” “ But, as above remarked, about the only transient matter not now prepaid consists of private circulars. Transient newspapers, magazines, books, &c., we understand, are Bow generally prepaid.”’ We can add little to our neighbor's expla- nation that will strengthen this so necessary measure. This evil of weighing down the mails with unpaid lottery scheme, patent Medicine, and trashy-book puffing circulars, always refused when the person to whom di- rected knows on what he is required to pay postage, is a great nuisance, indeed, sadly in- terfering with the speedy and certain trans- portation and delivery of the mails, and very expensive to the government. None but spec- ulators on popular credulity are benefitted by it, and it will be well for the House prompt- Jy to second the effort of the Senate to end it. The Union comments forcibly on the fact that all the efforts of all the opposition writers and orators to find objectionable features in James Buchanan’s record as a statesman, have proved abortive, and argues most effectively to show that though always a truly conserva tive man, he has kept pace with the sound Progress of the age on questions of govern- mental expediency. > oe WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP The State of San Francisco.—To no one can the state of affairs in San Francisco at the date of the advices from thence last published give greater pain than to us; for noone else entertains greater horror of mob law. Yet as the Committee of Vigilance still continue to conduct their affairs, we sincerely believe that the change violently brought about was not only absolutely necessary for the public safe- ty, but it has so far worked happily for the public interest. The fact that they have felt compelled to arrest Judge Terry, we regard as an unavoidable and deplorable circum- stance which that gentleman brought on him- self. We know him well personally, as a man of great legal learning and scrupulously high and irreproacbable character. Yet we also know him to be one of the most impetuous men with whom a long residence in the South- west threw us; and as a gentleman whose judgment out of the immediate line of his pro- fessional duties was not regarded as by any means co-equal with his professional reputa- tion. The case may be briefly stated as follows, viz.: twelve hundred homicides bad taken place in San Francisco within two years, and but two of the murderers had suffered the Penalty of the law, both of them being per- sons too poor to fee counsel, or to command the description of friends who have controlled the results of trials before the courts there so greatly to the injury of all the true interests of society. Ruffians, thieves, blacklegs and swindlers, by means of bsllot-box stuffing» had notoriously filled many of the cffices— State and municipal—with functionaries high and low, owing their election to the infamous frauds and violence of such parties bound to- gether only by a common desire to plunder and riot at the expense of the honest, peacea- ble and industrious portion of the community. No man’s life was safe from the knife or re- volver of the assassin, nor was any man’s Property safe from the effects of the perjuries of the-aseassin’s comrades—the false swearers in th tness stand, and the packed juries who invariable turned a deaf ear to the woes and wrongs of a society outraged in every possible way in which such men as the Ned McGowans, Dan Aldricks, Wooley Kearneys, James P. Caseys, Charles Coras, and Yankee Sullivans of the State, with entirely unchecked license, might please to inflict upon it. There was no legal remedy for this terrible state of things, because it was the regular bu~ siness of the leaders and protectors of the bands of villains to «stu their own crea- tures into office on all occasions. The honest citizens might poll majorities of thousands against them, but by the simple application of fraud and perjury, the decision of the peo- ple according to law was set aside. The revolution really to be de that by which, water pretence of executing the law, murderers and robbers were invaria- bly screened from punishment and the real action of the people at the polls as invariably set aside to continue the merciless rule of the bands of villains who had got the upper hand in the city, as described above. What was left for the people of San Fran- ciseo to do, but to continue under a vassalage in which to continue would be to prove them unworthy of the high privileges of Amer- Scan citizenship, or to expel the leaders and ebief tools through whose machinations they were in @ condition sodeplorable? Like true- hearted men they choze the Jatter alterna- tive, which involved an entire \gubversion of the authority of the mock officers of the law that had been invariably found reaily to pro- plored was tect those by whom they had been officially created, as we have explained. They thus revolted against the nominal op- eration of laws defeated by false witnesses, and packed juries, and mock agents or officers of the law holding their places only through successful fraud and violence. This revolt or revolution was the work evidently of nine- tenths of the real business men of the city, driven to desperation by the accumulated wrongs under which they were suffering, with no other possible means within their reach, All classes of the business men participated ‘in it, those not enrolled among the forces of the Vigilance Committee being active sympa- thisers with their brethren in arms. The Governor and his subordinate functionaries, to whom the successful termination of the Com- mittee’s labors without shedding more blood than that of Casey and Cora must be certain official death, called on the people to arm against the revolutionists, and his cell was responded to only by hundreds, including the hunted class and their lower instruments, where the forces of the Committee numbered thousands. An officer of the Vigilance Com- mittee sought to arrest a man named Mulloney in the presence of Judge Terry, and the Judge» knowing the attempt to be illegal, essayed to resist the power of the Committee by com- manding the officer and his posse, in the name of the law, to cease and begone. To have obeyed him would have been virtually to have restored things there tovery much the condition in which they were prior to the murder of Jas. King of William, and to have subjected the Committee to the vengeance of those whom they had been compelled to seek to drive from the State. What that vengeance would be if the Magowans, Aldricks, Kearneys & Co. had again obtained power, all sensible persons must realize. However much the Committee might respect and regard Judge Terry personally, to have acknowledged his authority and obeyed him on that occasion would have defeated the consumation of their labors for the good of society, So the officer of the Committee still essayed to make the arrest of Mulloney; and while the Judge was endeavoring to cover the latter’s retreat, came into violent collision with him, armed as he was, with a gun and bowie knife. Whe Judge inflicted a very dan- gerous wound upon him—the officer. Re- treating to a supposed place of safety with the temporarily rescued man and some six- teen of his own personal friends, they were very soon surrounded by thousands of the Committee’s troops, to whom they promptly surrendered. ‘They are now held in custody by the Committee, doubtless for their own (the Committee’s) safety. As for the idea that vengeance will be taken by them on the Person of Judge Terry, even if the officer (Hopkins) dies, we have no faith in it. He will be held in close confinement so long as that course may be necessary to prevent him, smarting under the personal indignity in- volved in his arrest as he doubtless does, from operating seriously to endanger the success of their plans for ridding the State of the pre- sence of the villains whom they originally set out to disperse and drive away. His arrest has of course been seized on by the few par- tizans of the old order of things to generate sympathy against the Committee. So far as wecan judge from the tone of the press of the city and State, the manuvre has failed as signally as did the Governor's call to arms against the Vigilance Committee; because, evidently, no serious harm to Judge Terry is intended, and his present situation is the re- sult only of his Quixotic effort to oppose his own arm against the Committee’s present power. On the whole, as matters stand there now, the despotism of the Committee seems to us far less to be deplored than that of the Ma- gowans, Aldricks, Caseys, Kearneys, Cussicks, Coras, Sullivans, &c., &c. it has subverted; though the latter did murder and rob indis- criminately and without let or hindrance prac- tically by virtue of the authority of the law. Desperate diseases in civil affairs, as in the matter of personal health, require desperate remedies; and the San Francisco case seems to us certainly to have been one wherein it should have been risked as aught else could possibly give relief under the circum- stances. The Great Fillmore Movement .—The moas- ure of Mr. Dunn, passed by the House yester- day, abrogates the present Territorial Gov- ernment of Kansas, re-establishes the Mis- souri restriction, and, generally, makes such changes in the law there as, if finally tri- umphant, will eurely consummate the so oft avowed purpoce of its mover, to abolitionize the Territory past redemption. Itis the great Northern Fillmore measure of the session ; its sponso rs being Mr. Fillmore’s two thumbs in the House of Representatives—Messrs. Haven and Dunn. Its passage through the House, by the union of the Republican and Northern Fillmore parties, bears out all we have said with reference to the entire identification be- tween those two great political interests, so far as the rights and future of the South are concerned. What Southern American-party man, who cares more for the security of the rights of the South under the Constitution than for the triumph of the abolitioniem of Messrs. Dunn, Haven & Co., (who are to be the Government if Mr. Fillmore should be elected,) can longer hew wood and draw water for them? — The new Minister to Mexico.—John For- syth, Esq., the newly appointed United States Minister to Mexico, reached this city on the night before last, and was, yesterday, at the Kirkwood House. He came, we presume, to have the usual consultations with the Depart- ment of State necessary to enable a new plen- ipotentiary fully to comprehend all the points in the subjects to be committed to his care. We predict for him a successful diplomatic career; for we really know no other gentle- man better fitted by natural mind, attain- ments, manners and character to exercise ef- fective influence in such a position, and more especially with such a people as the Mexicans. He is said to have left Washington this morn- ing for New York, to return hither in a few days; when he will probably speedily close up his business with the State Department and at once depart on his mission in a Govern- ment vessel. Senator Pratt.—The letter of this in- guished Whig statesman, the ai osdlsay of which has for some time past been antici pated, appears this morning in the Inte//i- gencer. It is one of the most Powerful ap- peals we ever saw in print. We can hardly conceive it possible that a single sincere Ma- ryland Whig can peruse it without compre. hending the fact that to vote for Mr. Fillmore in the present condition of affairs, will be really to vote to secure the election of John C, Fremont, and to bring about the triumph of the purposes of the party nominating him. Senator Busk.—The information on which a day or two since we announced the probable arrival herby this time of Senator Rusk, turns out to have been erroneous. His col- league, Senator Houston, has a letter from him. He was at his home on the 15th, and does not design coming to Washington until next winter. We state the fact, as great in- terest seems to be manifested in this quarter of the probability of Gen. R.’s speedy return. Arrived.—Col. Thomas T. Fauntleroy, of the first regiment United States Dragoons, reached this city yesterday (on leave of ab- sence.) He has just returned from the de- partment of New Mexico, where he has been serving for some time past. His numerous friends in all quarters of the Atlantic States will be glad to hear that he looks and is in o&pital health. Mr. Brooks Re-elected.—A despatch re- ceived last evening represents that Mr. Prea- ton S. Brooks has been re-elected to the House of Representatives of the United States with but six votes against him ; the whole vote cast havingbeen unusually large.

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, the bill for the construction of a harbor at New Buffulo, Michigan, was considered ; and it was not passed—yeas 17, nays 21. The bill for the construction of a harbor at the mouth of Clinton river, Michigan, was next discussed and passed—yeas 24, nays 17, (on the question of its engrossment.) Mr. Mason moved to go into an Executive session ; not agreed to. The bill to complete the harbor of St. Jo- seph, Michigan, was next passed. * Mee. Brown moved to take up the bill to in- corporate the Washington Mutual Building Association; not agreed to. The bill to complete the piers at the harbor of Monroe, Michigan, was then passed ; and the bill to construct a harbor at the mouth of pen river, Michigan, was laid on the tablo. The bill to continue the improvements in the harbor of Newark was afterwards dis cussed, until they adjourned. In the House, the army appropriation bill as amended was passed—yeas 89, nays 82 Mr. Dunn called up his pending motion (made months ago) to reconsider the vote by which the House had committed the bill to annul the Territorial laws of Kansas, &c , and offered for it a substitute. (Its principal pro- visions restore the Missouri compromise re- striction, forbid the passage of any laws by the Legislature of Kansas restricting the free- dom of speech and of the press. an provides for liberating all persons charged with trea- son and political offences ) Mr. Cobb, of Ga., moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table; not agreed to— yeas 69, nays 93. Subsequently the said substitute was agreed to without debate—yeas 8), nays 77—and as thus amended the bill was passed—yeas 38, mare 74. n motion of Mr. Campbell of Ohio, the Senate’s amendment tothe Consular and Dip- lomatic appropriation bill, increasing the a ary of the interpreter to the Chinese mission to $5,000, was agreed to; and then they next went into committee, (Mr. Colfax in the chair.) - The Committee next took a recess until > p- m. bn re-assembling, speeches on political sub- jects were made by Messrs. Kelsey, Hoffman, Caruthers, and Tappan. The Committee then rose and the House ad- journed. Proceedings of Te-Day. In the Senate, to-day, several private bills were taken up and successively disposed of. Mr. Butler then called up his bill to change the mode of compensating members of Con- gress. Mr. Uollamer moved to amend it by substi- tuting one increasing the present pay and compensation of the members of Congress 25 per centuw; and the bill and proposed amend- ment were ordered to be printed. The bill to compensate pension agents was then taken up, and the report accompanying it was being read for information as the Star went to press. In the House, a call of the House was or- dered, and a quorum having answered to their names, the House proceeded to consider Mr. Ready’s pending motion to reconsider the vote ordering to a third reading a bill to provide for the settlement of the claims of the officers of the revolutionary war, and of the widows and chikdren of those who died in that service. The motion to reconsider was agreed to; and the said bill having been amended and read a third time, on the question of its passage, it was debated by Messrs. Jones of Tennessee, and Craige against it, and Browne, Smith of Virginia, and W ashburne of Maine, for it. r. Phelps moved to lay it on the table; not laid on the table—yeas 61, nays 105. Mr. Broom was engaged in the delivery of the closing speech in favor of the bill as the Star went to press. _—_—<8e PERSONAL. ++++Mr. Emery, of the London theatres, is coming to this country. ++++Mr. John Davis, a Birmingham light comedian, has arrived in Philadelphia, and been engaged by Crisp for the Gaiety, New Orleans. see The late Dr. James C.

Horace Mann, President of Antioch College, addressed a Fremont meeting at Yel- low Springs Ohio, on the 11th. Mr. Mann is a Dedham Federalist, of the school of Fisher Ames, who compared the Constitution to white birch stakes, and the Union to a rope of sand. Col. White, the Know Nothing Presidential elector in the Fourth Congressional District of Indiana, while grateful to his friends for the mark of preference they would bestow upon him, is still constrained to decline it, for the simple reason that he intends to work and vote for the Union candidates, Buchanan and Breckinridge. No State election will be held this year eithér in Georgia in Tennessee. There will be no elections in those States till the Presi- dential election in November. Some of the political papers have been making calculations on the State ejections in both those States, showing their political tendencies on the Pres- idential question. Hon. E. C. Cabell, of Florida, has ad- dressed a letter to each of the Buchanan and Fillmore electors of that State, asking them whether they would net vote for the presiden- tial candidate of the opposite party—Buc- hanan or Fillmore, as the case may be—if they could thereby defeat the election of Fremont, or prevent the election from going into the House of Representatives. GEORGETOWN @ORRKESPONDENCE. Groraetown, July 30, 1856. The Democratic pole at the corner of Mar- ket and Fourth streets, seems to be destined ere long to be laid low—level with the earth, unless its friends are very vigilant and watch- ful. Another attempt was made to cut it down yesterday. Four individuals—James Moore, John Balizer, George Crouse, and Jno. Moxley—armed with bad whisky, bad coun- cil, bad spirit, and an axe, marched up for the purpose of extermination of this seemingly alarming implement of political warfare ; but all of them wore destined to meet with a sig- nal defeat Moore was taken prisoner by of- ficer Kitchen, assisted by Constable Trun- nell and Mr. John Gross, and taken before Justice Reaver, who committed him to jail, in default of bail.

Fetringe & Co. are about to publish a novel that, from a perusal of the early sheets with which we have been favored, we do not hesitate to pronounce equal to the early and best works of Cooper. It is a story of Saratoga : not the present Saratoga of fasi- ionable ; but the Saratoga of sixty years ago, when the solitary log hut of a pioneer occupied the site of Congress Hall; and the surround- ing woods were full of bears, panthers and Indians. Among the prominent characters introduced is Crazy Jake, a maniac of super- human strength and diabolical cunning who plays all sorts of wicked pranks. He takes a violent fancy for the fair Lucile Valcom, seizes her and carries her off as easily asa wolf does alamb. The pursuit, undertaken by her friends, with the assistance of Catfoot, a friendly Indian, whotracks the fugitive with the unerring skill of a bloodhound, is admira- bly told asis the maniac’s attempt to sacrifice the half-breed Joe, who has fallen into his clutches Sandy Brigham’s account of his scouting expedition to Burgoyne’scamp, afew years before, reads like a genuine chapter from our stirring revolutionary history. In- termingled with the more thrilling incidents and adventures is a love story, which is con- ceived with great beauty and delicacy.
