The Union predicts that if the Republi- cans in the House {insist on the revolutionary clauses of the Army appropriation bill strick- en out by the Senate, the bill will be entirely defeated; and pronounces the nomination of 8. S. Coxe, Esq., in the Columbus, Ohio, dis. trict, one eminently fit to be made. The Intelitzencer quoting an article from the Alexandria Gazette, complimentary to Senator Crittenden takes occasion to say = “ To those who have, with us, been familiar with the Senatorial career of Mr. Crittenden at different periods during nearly forty years, and have witnessed bis unceasing devotion to the interest of his whole country and to the entire spirit of its Coustitution, no new proof was necessary to add to the estimate which bad long since been formed of the truly na- tional heart and mind of that gentleman. In- deed, in the existing political condition of public affairs, our Whig friends will agree with us that the mantle of Henry Clay, his old friend and colleague, would seem literally to have fallen apon his shoulders. «« Many as there are, re happy to say, of atriotic and manly spirits in the elevated Boay where the veteran Senator in question has so lopg shone, we are yet sure that there is not one who will not accord a hearty assent to the justice of the tribute here rendered, or who will feel disparaged by the compliment paid to him.”’ —————6@72 oe _______ WASHINGTON NEWS AND GossIP. The Elections.—Below we present the ad- ditional election returns received since our last issue : MISSOURI. Calloway county gives Ewing, American, 300 majority; it gave 129 Whig majority in 1854. Seott county gives Ewing 180 majority; it gave 177 Whig majority. Lincoln county gives Polk, anti-Benton, 300 majority ; it gave 123 Democratic majority The contest for Governor is between Polk and Ewing. Phelps, Green, Jackson, and Caruthers, (Democrats,) and Blair, (independent Repub- lican,) are believed to be elected to Congress. The political complexion of the. Legislature is not yet ascertained. Two United States Senators are to he chosen by it, in place of Ateiison, (Dem ,) whose term of service has eXpired, and Geyer, who was elected as a Waig.

Returns from forty-nine counties have been received, givirg American majorities amount- ing to 2,676. The Demoeratic gain is 7,477. Telegraphic Election News.—Yesterday, we ha.’ barely time to append the word “ non- sense’’ to the following dispatch, sent to us in perfect good faith, doubtless, by our agent at the North Crxcinxati, Aug. 8. —Crittenden county, Arkansas, elects the entire American ticket. Yell, the American candidate, is elected Gov- ernor_by a large majority Now. by way of explaining why we ex- pressed the opinion that this despatch is but monsense, we have to say that Crittenden counjy, Arkansaz, lies on the Mississippi, im. mediately opposite Memphis, and votes at most, three hundred votes. And further that there being neither a telegraph wire, railroad, taropike or even a daily mail within the lim- its of the State, it is utterly impogsible that the result of the Arkansas election can be known in Memphis for two weeks aiter this fanny dispatch was sent off. The Speech of Mr. Davis.—We regret not being able to hear the speech of the Hon. Henry Winter Davis. delivered in the House hall on the night before last, because it has given rise to perbaps more invidious conver- Sational comments on one side, and to more ve- hement praises on the other, the Republican side, than any other oratorical effurt of the session. So delighted are the Republicans with it, we hear, as that they design sending forth an edition of a hundred thousand copies, as being one of the very best Fremont elec- tioneering documents evolved from the heated cauldron of the hall in the course of this so remarkably heated session. We learn that it was in capital keeping with the abolition sentiments charged upon Mr Davis when a candidate before the people, and that its quod erat demonstrandum is simply to make Fre mont voters at the North ont of Fillmore men. It is sincerely to be hoped that it may ob- tain a circulation among the people of Mary- land as wide as that which those who will essay thus to strengthen their own political positions, the abolitionists of Congress, will give it among their own constituents. We have of late been endeavoring to open the eyes of the Know Nothings of Maryland to the fact that Northern Fillmoreism, despite its soft words to them, is as emphatically bent on abolitionizing Kansas and as vehemently opposed to the admission of another slave- holding State, as the most ultra Republican partizauchip in the land. They (the Maryland Know Nothings) need but read the effort of their own representative to be convinced not only of the truth of our represectations in this matter, but that the New York Herald's declaration thet those at the South who in their hearts desire the triumph of Fremont, fight in the current contest under Mr. Fill- more’s banner. The Burglary Trials—brought to » cloge yerterday in the Criminal Court for this coun- ty—exhibit @ career of crime on the part of the misguided young men who were arraigned, almost unprecedented in the annals of Amer- ican jurisprudence. They were indicted for eighteen distinct ofences—larcenies, burgla- =es, arson, 40.—and were convicted on all the indictments against them tried. Their sentence of six years’ imprisonment each, in the District penitentiary, was well deserved. Their conduct in the dock, proved them, one and all, to be as hardened and reckless as though they had graduated at half the State prisons in the land. We refer to this matter now, only by way of calling the attention of the youth of our city to their speedy deteo- tion and condign punishment. They have years to serve in the penitentiary at hard labor, for every month they rioted on the ill- gotten proceeds of their crimes, that followed one after the other so swiftly—a result that in nine cases out of ten, is sure, at some time or other, to follow conduct like theirs. People of Maryland, “Why Doubt ?’—The New York Ezpress, commenting on a letter from a Northern anti-slavery lady, who pro- feeses to believe that Mr. Fillmore may not be sufficiently emphatic against slavery in Kan- sas to justify her in advising her sons to vote for him, as she would otherwise like to do. says: “(1.) See Mr. Fillmore’s Rochester speech. it is clear and emphatic on this subject. Amant many other things he said— ‘**] have no hesitation in saying what most know siveaay, that Iwas decide d, opposed to the repeal of that compromise. Good faith, as well as the peace of the country, seemed to require that a compromise which had stood for more than thirty years should not be wan- tonly disturbed. » The repeal seems to have been a Pandora’s Boz, out of which have issued all political evils that now afflict the country.’ “<(2.) Why ask this question? What rea- son affords Mr Fillmore’s life for the ask ing? Look at his votes in Congress, when re- presenting the Erie district, N. Y. Contrast them with Fremont’s when only seventeen working days in the U. 8.Senate. Mr Fill- more isthe only Presideut, under whose ad- ministration Free Territory has been annexed to the Unton, Louisiana, Texas, and Florida were Slave Territories, —but California, under Fi!lmore, came inte the Union “Free.” Why doubt?’ The Current Operations of the Treasury Dep artment.—On yesterday, 8th of August, there were of Treasury warrants entered on the books of the Department— For redemption of Texas debt....

W. Thomp- son, of Indiana, was laid aside; and on a motion to take up the Pacific Railroad bill no quorum voted Mr Bigler, rising to a personal explanation, denied the truth of a rumor that he had de- clared that Buchanan eruld not carry New Jersey, said to be based on the authority of Senator Wilson Mr Wilson disclaimed ever having given rise to any such story, not having at any time conversed with Mr. B. on the subject Mr. Bigler having thanked Mr. W. for his prompt disclaimer, they adjourned. In the House, a large number of reports were made on private petitions, and the bills having been committed and the adverse re- ports laid on the table, they went irto Com- mittee, (Mr Grow inthe chair ) and resumed the consideration of the bill making appropri- ations fur certain civil expenses of the Govern- ment for the year ending June 30, 1857. Numerous amendments were moved, mostly relating to appropriations fur the construction of marine bospitals, custom-houses, post offices, and court-houres. Mr. Goode moved to insert in the bill an ap- propriation of $300,000 to continue the work on the Washington aqueduct, which led to some discussion. Messrs. Goode, Keitt, and Smith of Virginia, advocated the amendment, contending that the aqueduct was demanded by the exigen- cies of the public service, and that unless the appropriation should be made great injury would result to the work by its exposure, in its present condition, to the frosts of winter r. Covode spoke against the amendment, criticising the estimates and declaring the whole scheme wild. Mr. Greenwood hoped that the time of the House would not be consumed in the discus- sion of this question, as the majority of twen- ty-seven given against the appropriation at an earlier stage of the session exhibited the fact the House was against the continuance of the work at the present time. The amendment was rejected—ayes 49, noes 74. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, on the reecommenda- tion of the Committee of Ways and Means, moved te strike out of the bill the item ap- propriating $150,000 for finishing the portico cod entrance of the west wing of the Patent Office building, &c , stating that the appre- priations asked by the Secretary of the Inte- rior for this building were made in the defi- ciency bill, and the Committee were not dis- posed to force upon that officer any more money than he had called for; agreed to. On motion of Mr Campbell, of Ohio, the item appropriating $6,000 for the construction ef a zewer in Judiciary square was stricken out On motion of Mr. Ball, from the Committee cn Public Building and Grounds, an appro- priation of £5,000 was inserted in the bill for rebuilding the Franklin engine house, in- cluding the purchase of a suitable lot. Mr. Holloway moved to strike out the item appropriating $25,000 for the collection of agricultural statistics, and procuring and dis- tributing cuttings and seede, and to insert in lieu thereof the following : “Vor the coll<ction of agricultural statis- ties, investigations for promoting agricultural and rural economy, snd the procurement and distribution of cuttings and seeds, $75,000, to be expended under the direction of the Com- missioner of Patents.”’ After considerable debate, principally in reference to the manner of distribution of the seeds, the amendment was agreed to. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, from the Committee of Ways and Means, moved an amendment appropriating $75,000 to complete the bridge across the #otozac at the Little Falls, agree- ably to the plan airaady adopted. r Stanton moved té reduce the amount to five thonsand dollars, and opposea tug pmend- ment of the committee. The motion wag agreed to, when Mr. 8 made an ineffectual attempt to strike out the entiro clause as amended. At 5 p. m. the Committee found {tself with- out @ quorum, when they rose; and shortly afterwards the House adjourned. Precee The Senate wer tirely, this morning. In the House, a resolution was adopted re- questing the Postmaster General to cause on inquiry to be made to ascertain who are the depredators engaged in abstracting from the R enicgion city mals valgable books, docu- ments, dc , sent under the franks of members of Congress, &c , was adopted _ They then went into Committee, (Mr. Grow in the Chair,) wherein again taking up the bill to provide for certain civil expenses of the Government, and the amendment making &D appropriation to Poy the amount due ona contract made by the Executive branch of the oyernment for the site for the post office in jaltimore, Md , which was debated by Messrs.

One of the brokers afterwards sold several hundred dollars of its notes to a citizen of this town, at a discount of fifty per cent, which were taken to :he Bank on Monday morning and re- deemed in full.
