WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. ING STAR. 7 EVEN eS WASHINGTON CITY WEDNESDAY..,,...... September 17, 1556, —_—_—_ EEO EE oO S500 Royalty—Republicanism.—Tho accounts of the glitter and the glare connected with the visit of the Queen of England to Scotland— the extraordinary fealsy paid to her Majesty» and tho overstrained remarks of eulogy lav- ished upon her person and character—plea- santly remind us of the republican simplicity of the President of the United States; the avoidance by him of ostentatiov, and the do mestic habits whlch characterize his conduct The approach to royalty is, indeed, an ob- structed way—through life-guards and court attendants; and a mere glance at the Queen is all that “ the millions’ of England can ex- pect to obtain, as she dashes through the pub- lie thoroughfares. But with us the caso is different; the Executive is as easy of ap- proach, by every one, as a private citizen, and never fails to receive his guests in a man- ner which elicits the highest respect; and such has been the custom with his predecessora in that exalted station We have been informed by citizens of tho United States who have traveled in foreign countries, that their statemonts to this effect are scarcely credited, and in many instances disbelieved ; for, persons living under mon- archical rule cannot realize the fact that our highest officers of Government are so accessi- ble and courteous in their bearing. The dif- ference arises from the fact that there ‘‘fam- ily’’ and aristocracy prevail, while Aere merit and a just appreciation of men for their ad- ministrative abilitics enter into the conduct- ing of our public affairs.

The Uniox compares ils private correspon- denco with the political news contained in its exchanges of the Inst fow days, especially in relation to New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, ‘Ohio, Indiana, Iilinois, and California, and its conclusion is, that the Democratic party wat never in better heart or doing its duty more thoroughly in those Stater. The Unron says: “ The count which we wake for November, therefore, is, that Mr. Buchanan will certain- ly get— New Jorsey « Pennsylvania India: Illinois. “ oarcancre ail 63 votes certain in the nor- slavehclding States, and 120 Southern voter. This sums a total strength of 183. Our friends in New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, and Obio are fighting with such earnost zeal that we fcel assured we have a probability of gaining come of them.” The Inte!/tgencer, in noticing this 17th day of September as the day on which the Consti- tution ef the United States was adopted, re- news its suggestion that the day should be observed hereafter as a national holiday. The Intelligencer announces the Baltimore Whig National Conveution in the following signifi- cant language - “ This is the day appointed for holding the Whig National Convention at Baltimore for the nomination of candidates for the Presi- dency and Vice Presidency of the United States. So many States will be represented, and so many distinguished Whigs have been named as delegates, that the assembly will, we have no doubt, be eminently respectable, both in numbers and composition. We think it proper to add, that, although we have seen in the public prints the names of genticmen of other political organizations brought forward in counexion with this Convention, yet we presume that the body will consist exclusively of Whigs ‘pure and simple;’’ and this we take leave to say, without the slightest disre- spect to gentlemen of any other organization, should be the case te command for the deci- sions of the Convention any general confidence of the Whigs of the Union. “« We have been induced to venture thissug- gestion by some misgivings on the subject in- spired by articles in the Baltimore press, where we find the National Intelligencer taken to task for admitting into its columns a communication from a sterling Whig present- ing to the consideration of the Convention the name cf Edward Everett as a fit candidate for the presidency. Woe supposed that this Con- vention was intended fer consultation and de- liberation, and not mercly to enunciate a fore- gone conclusion; and we may be pardoned for admitting a doubt cf the freedom of choice of a body ot Whigs toward whom it is held to be treasonable to offer the name of Edward Ever- ett, orof Edward Bates, or of Francis Granger, or of Jobn Bell, or of Rufus Choate, or of John M. Clayton, or of any other genuine Whig, North or South, for its consideration.”” The Intelligencer is evidently too expe rienced a political stager to be deceived by the heap of meal at the bottom of that tub. 6972 _______ Naw Music.—We have received from W. G. Metzerott, (the successor of Geo. Hilbus,) Star Buildings, the ballad of ‘‘ When Absent from Friends,’’ composed and respectfully inseribed to Miss Annie R. Little, by Wm. Edgar Morgan Women’s Rights Again —The stroag- minded women appear to be getting joalous at the neglect with which tho claims of feminine ‘‘suffering humanity” are slurred over by the professional philanthropists who are just now so deeply engaged in the Republican crusado, Two of the especially strong minded—Paulina Wright-Davis and Lucy Stene-Blackwell—in announcing the ‘Sixth National Woman's Rights Convention,’’ say that ‘the advocates of the Equal Rights of Woman find new rea- son to proclaim again their constant demand for a cousistent application of Demuvcratic Principles, for the cmancipation, not alone of one class, or one nation, but of one half the human race.”” They therefore accordingly invite “ All who believe that Government derive® its just powers from the consent of the gov" erned ; All who believe that Taxation and Repre- sentation should go together ; All who believe in the right of all to a trial by « Jury of their Peers ; All who believo in a fair day’s Wages for a fair day’s Work ; All who believe in the equal right of all Children in the community to its Public Provision, for Education. To meet in Convention at the Broadway Tabernacle, New York, on the 8th, 9th and 10th of October next, to consider whether there rights and principles shall continue to be popularly limited to ono half the members of the community.”’ That’s Wright, Miss (or rather Mrs ) Lucy ; Don’t let the professional good-men, philan- thropists and moral reformers forget your claims to attention and redress in the frantic zeal to stock Kansas with Sharpe’s rifles a Fiction.—It is a truth which admits of no denial, that many a tender-hearted sentimen talist sheds tears over a printed work of fic tion—‘ yellow cover Jiterature’’—while the stern realities of every day life ecareely occa- sion a sigh to the same class of readers. As if profiting by this fact, wo find Freesvil nove- lists constantly ministering to morbid minds, having their great literary emporium some- where in the neighborhood of Chicago, whence they radiato their trash by mail and tclo graph. All reasonable persons, however, now understand tbis disreputable business, which has had an injurious effect upon the affairs of Kanzas. The Chicago Press heads an article “ More Blocdy Work in Kansas,’’ and proceeds to give “the frightful intelligence that eighty Free State men, women and children, were massacred by the ruffians at Stranger Creek, on the third instant.” But the last part of this article contradicts the first. The samo Paper concludes as follows : ‘There was no permanent settloment at Stranger Creek of the number stated, and IF the massacre cceurred ay reported it is proba- ble that the victims were a company of set- tlers who were making their way to some point eastward for protectiun.”’ We would remind all those “es-mongers of the couplet : “* Lest folks suspect your tale untrue. Keep probability ae view.?? y Dr. Kaxe’s sew Work.—From tho pub- lishers, Messrs. Child: & Peterson ef Phila- delphia, we have reccived some advance sheets of Dr. Kane’s Arctic Explorations, the letter- press and engravings of which aro exccuted in most enperb style. We give in ancther column of the Star an interesting extract from this work. Grayp Loves or taz Usiren States, I. O. O. F.—The election for officers of this body, now in session in Baltimore, yesterday result- ed as follows: George W. Race, of Louisiana, Grand Sire; Timothy G. Sentre, of New Hampshire, Deputy Grand Sire; James L. Ridgely, of Maryland, Grand Corresponding and Recording Secretary, and Joshua Van- sant, of Maryland, Graud Treasurer. At five o’cleck tLis afternoon, the members of the Grand Lodge will leave Baltimore for Norfolk, to participate in the ceremonies of dedicating the Odd Feilow's Hall iu that city, a splendid building, recently finished. E#” We havo received the sixth number of “The Sibyl,” ~ handsomely printed paper, in quarto form; ‘a review of tho Tastes, Errors and Fashions of Socicty,”’ and editea by Mrs. Lydia Sayer Hasbrouck, Middletown» Orange county, New York. Itis an exponent of “woman’s rights,” of which the fair “ Bloomer,”’ in this city and elvewhere, was an able expouent. She says she is ‘‘ political, hygicnic, dress reformer, and every other variety ef reformer one can think of,”’ and she unfurls her banner for Gerrit Smith “ becauce in him is embodicd the great principle of humanity.” James Kiog, of William.—It will bo grat- ifying to the friends of the late Mr King, of Georgetown, D. C., who was murdered by Casey, in San Francirco, to learn that the contributions made in the latter city amount t) $32,000, which has been invested fer the benefit of his family; and, in addition, they retain a third interest in the Evening Bulle tin, which yields them about $1,000 a month profit. Mrs. King has been presonted with a house valued at $3,000. It was the actof Casey which called fora re-organization of the Vigilance Committe, co recently disbanded after ridding San Fran- cisco of many of the deeply-dyed villains by whom the city was so intolerably infested Hon. Joux Warevur.—The N. Y. Daily News, in an article on the :ubject of candi dates for nominaticn, speaking authoritatively, says: “The Ifon. John Wheeler is not and will not become a candidate for re-election under any consideration whatever Mr. Wheeler has nearly eerved cut his second term, and is satisfied. “Although we have differed from him widely on some questione, none will deny that he has proved himself a most active and effi cient member, and on national and local ques- tions has exercised an influence in the hails of Congress surpassed by butfew The indowi- table energy and zeal with which he enters into the present canvass for Buchanan and the Democratic cause, is but another evidence of his Dewecratic predilections and sincerity of purpose. In his Congressional career he has studied clorely and watched well the interests of the city which he in part represents, and our citizens are greatly indebted to him for the success of Various measures beneficial to our locality. In his retirement from public life eae carry with him the respect and good will of 9 vast majori this metropolis.’ Jority of the people of Charles Sumner.—Among the speakers to be present ata Fremont gathering at Pitts. burg, Pa., yesterday, was Charles Sumner, who, it would appear, has at last consented to admit that he was not’ kilt’? by Cul Brooke. The editors who pretended to fear that the Senator’s brain was ‘ softening” and that he would become a confirmed lunatic, will now doubtless wreathe their faces with smiles having wiped from their eycs the tears which they have profusely shed. Tho Massachusetts Senator is a fanatic, if not a lunatic, on the subject of slavery ; and, like many others of his party, a straight jacket would become him better than the latest foreign style of fashions. A Grand Democratic Meoting is to be held in Independence Square, Philadelphia, this afternoon, and among the speakers who will addross the assemblago are the Hon. Howell Cobb, ex-Governor of Georgia, and the Hon. H. V. Johnson, the preeent Governor of that State. The Hon. James B Clay, the son of pes aed pears!

Around the Wagon was stretched pinkeolored canvas, con- taining the motto “ White husbands or none ” This is the way to say it. GEORGETOWN CORKESPONDENCE Geore@rtown, Sept. 17, 1856. If ho who causes two stalks of grain or gra:s to grow where none grew before is to be re- garded in the light of a benefactor of his :ace, we candidiy think our enterprising follow- citizen of the Union line, Mr. Vanderwerker, is equally entitled to the samo appellation. Who does not remember, with a sort of sick- ening disgust, the time when the rickety old meul wagon (in appearance) concerns furn ished almost the only accommodation for tray- elers between our city and any point in Wash- ington! Into these (when you could acciden- tally catch them) passengers had to crowd like chickens in a coop, were rolled and jolted along tho streets of the two cities at abcut ox- cart speed, and then had the privilege (ladies as well as the moro hardy sex) of being dumped out about the middlo of the street, with sometimes the luxury of wading to the footways through mud, slush and snow, fir which each passenger was required to pay the suin of twelve and a half cents. How very different now. No two citiesin the Union are blessed with better accommodations for trav- cling, either on business or pleasure and ro- | 4 reation, than the Union line of ompibuses af- fords. The coaches are spacious, easy, neat, clean, and airy, and are driven by suber, gon- tlemanly and accommodating drivers. As a further evidence of Mr. Vanderwerken’s do- termination to furnish the citizens of the Dis- trict, and strangeiz coming into it, wigh the very best accommodations that money and enterprise can procure, he has now in course of construction seventeen magnificent coaches, all of which will bo placed upon the line as soon as completed. The names of threo of these already letter- ed, iz as follows: Col. J.G Berret, Joseph H. Bradley, and Dr. W. B. Magruder. hen these are ready for seivice, und placed upon the line, the public will be furnished w'th greater facility for transition betwoen our city and the Capitol and the Navy Yard, than they hav» ever heretofore had; as will be seen from the number of coaches on the route, and the time upon which they will be run. Between the Navy Yard and the War Department twelvo coaches ruaning on cight minutes time; between the Capitol and War Department, three extra coaches, running on two and a helf minutes time; and eighteen coaches run- ning on five minutes time between Sore town and the Capitol gate. Thus it will be seen that there will always bo (when neces- sity requires it) on the route between our city and the Navy-Yard thirty-three coaches, re- quiring at all times about two hundred and twenty-five horses to propel them, and some fifty mon as drivers, hostlers, superintendents, &c. The foregoing will give como idea of the magnitude of the arrangements of Mr. V. for the public accommodation, and the expense and labor necessary to its establishment. The time between the Capitol and the War De- partment wil! be two and a half minutes. A smiall leak occurrod yesterday in one of the canal locks, near Seneca.

Spectator. is but tri- Tho Finale of a Domestic Drama. The notoriety of the sad affair alluded toin the following extract from a private letter from a Pavis correspondent, will be a sufficient apology for its publication. The social posi- tion of the parties involved in the dreadfai business, and the exaggerated rumors and wild rcandal that it has given rise to, render a publication of the actual facts of the case a deed of charity tothe families whose happi- ness bas been so wantonly destroyed by a heartiess and unprincipled libertine We an- Bounced a ain since the fact that the guilty parties had been traced to their rotreat o Rouen; but the following, (dated Paris, Sept 1, 1856, which we find in the New York Times) gives some additional paiciculars of the affair: ji ‘‘ After three weeks of faithful search, with the aid of tho two sharpest detectives of Lon- don, and the employ of men, women and cnil- dren without number, commissionaires, ser- vants, rag pickers, coachmen, &c., &c., and a vast amount of money, Maxwell has at last traced Kearney to his sister’s residence. ring A is as roue as any detective; he knows Paris perfectly; he knew they were watching him, and he had plenty of money ; so he managed to conceal the girl’s residence for three weeks or more. Young Maxwell, who loves his sister fondly aud was more anx- ious to secure her than to do harm to her se- ducer, labored day and night in this object, never stopping for rain or mud, and frequent- ly passing whole rights in the streets watch- ing and running from point to point. At last they found that Kearney was in the habit of going to Rouen, and here they soon traced him to the girl’s residence, at a maisen d’ac- couchement, whore he had put her idwmediate- ly on arriving from New York. ‘+ They obtained all the details of her situa- tion without her knowing that she had been found, and finding that she was about to be confined, they thougat it not prudent to give her alarm in that condition. Lhey, therefore, waited (the policemen sleeping opposite and wat ching every movement) vnt'la few days after her confinement, when the mother, who had come on from New York and was waiting at London, and the brother, made their ap- pearance. You can imagine what the meet- lug was to all parties. axwe!' will neither attack Kearney nor challenge him. Kearney’s friends sty he wants a duel, so as to settle the difficulty once for all. The laws here are too severe. Kearney v.:!l ) apt to remain abroad. The Maxwe''saro preparing to start back with the sister. ++ But the whole story of their accidental mecting at the ball of the Tuilexies, two years ago, where the girl got sick and Kearney t ok her home in his carriage, the way he eft sr- wards protected tho fe-vily (by the father’s consent)in Italy, and their subsequent amours, would make quits a romance. Kearney has “ved all the time in the rue Neuve St. Au- gustin, and Maxwe'! inthe rue de la Made- leine, and er*h fortwo weeks post has knowa the other's residence.’” soe An InvRovement uron THB Bau or Taov- sanp FLowers.—Fontaine’s Cream of Wild Fiower. - combiring, in a solid form, the choicest viitues of the Balm of Thousand Flowers—imparts a delicious softness, white- ness, and fragrance to the hands and face; prevents chapping ; removes tan and freckles, and is an antidote against eruptions.
