EVENING STAR. == ee " ciTyY: WASHINGTON C st WEDNESDAY February 11,1857. PIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer thus accounts for the fn- spomtion manifested yesterday by the Sen- | on Judiciary Committee tS have referred to them the Indiana contested election case : committees is composed entirely of ada whose polities! views coincide with | those of the dominant party in the Senate, and ss, during the discussion of the day, silusion had been made to the fact. by those who bad the immediate admis- sion of Mr Fitch toa seat in the Senate, the members of the Judiciary Committee asked to be excused from serving in the examination of the present case, preferring that s select coramittee should be raised for that purpose, | in the composition of which the mizority of the Senate should be represented. Upon this subject the discussion assumed a somewhat discursive rarge, relating to the general cus | tom of the Senate in the reference hitherto made of contested or dispu’ed elections, as well as to the political organization of the pre- sent committees into which the Senate is di- vided. We necd hardly say that those who protested against what they considered a par- tisan composition of the Commit on the Judiciary expressed the fallest con! idence in the guy, Tatettigence and probity which presided over its deliberations. In justice to the dominant party of the Senate, it ie also due to add that the present organization of the committee is not so much the result of | original appointment as of thoee changes in the politics of the dey which have brought abont a harmony cf yolitical sentiment smong its members—a harmony which did not exist at the date of its composition.”’” The Unton eays, with truth and force, with reference to the recent confirmation of the Hon. D. A. Smatley, to be the U.S judge for the district of Vermont: “* The vomination by the President of Hon D. A. Smalley for United States judge for the district of Vermont, vice Judge Prentiss, de- ceased, was una ously confirmed by the Senate yesterdzy, cnd without the usuai ref- erence. This unucusl compliment was alike due to Mr Smalley’s admitted judicial qual- fications and his high persona! character; and we feel quite sure that our readers throughout the Union will feel highly gratified with this flattering mark of appreciation, on the part of the Executive and the Senate, in favor of oue whose patriotism and abilities bave been so recently and so conspicuously brought before the country.”” There is one slight mistake in this para graph, originating, doubtless, through cur par- agraph of yesterdsy. That is, Mr. Smalley’s confirmation tock place more ¢ a week ago, and on the day cn which his nominstion was! sentin On arriving here, a few days since, he found himself not only nominated bet con- firmed. ——- = oe —_ WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. The Caincre Sugar Cene.—Having been an attentive reader of the agricultural publica- tions of the countzy for years past—of perhaps asmany ofthem as any other American reads— we bave had a fair opportunity to judge of the Tesult of the experiments of the last season with this plant, in ail sections of tke country. The conclusion to which we have come is, that in ten years from this time the United States will be a lerge exporter of sugar: made from it. Qut of thousands of exper’ments made with the cane in question, not a dozen have proved unsuccessful. That is, all the rest have demonstrated that fem engaged in egricultare cau manufacture an excellent quality of sugar for domestic purposes, at les than the cost of the supply of the Louisiana or West India sugar they would otherwise re- quire; the labor of grinding the cane not being greater ard not requiring more skill than that cf grinding app'es for cfder, and that of distilling the sugar from the juice not being more troublesome or difficult than the Preparation of ‘‘apple butter” from cider. The cane grows equally well from Alabama to Maine, on any land that will produce Indian corn. Indeed, any land that will produce Indian corn is fuund to produce a more abun- dant yield of Chinese sugar cane. Under such cireumstances—and there are now all established facts well known by ell reading agricalturists to be sach—within three or four years the production of sugar from this cane, for femily consumption, wil! be al oat as universal in this country, as the production on esch farm of the Indian corn necessary for itspurposes. Improved machinery for grind- ing it and boiling the juice will also as surely be speedily invented and come into use. If, without any machinery designed for the special purpore its capabilities bave been so soon éo thorovgbly and satisfactorily demon- strated, there is really no telling what it will Prove worth to the country at large in a few years. That we are to become specdily ex porters of the prodact we heve no earthly doubt, nor can it he possible that its cultiva- tion In the United States will fail to work as gresta revolution in the sugar trade of the world, asthe successful introduction of the cot- ton plant in our Southern States bascertainly made in the trade in all articles with which cotton goods have come inte competition. We might add, bad we space, a short chap- ter, appropriately, upon theother great Amer- ican agricultural facts of the day. That is. the success of the experiments in the West in the production of wines. If we are not mistaken, since the culture of the grape bas, for the production of wine, really attracted public interest in the United States, it bas become a business of vations! importance more rapidly than the production of cotton did after that was fret generally re. garded a: a successful experiment in this country. No more delightful or better winea are imported—very few as good—as the best wines sold from the Cincinnati vaults - while some of the Georgia and St. Louis wines are hardly inferior to them. If the quantity con- tinues to increase in anything like the ratio of its increase up to this time, it will not only stop much of the consumntivn of vile liquors at home, but will place us in the list of wine exporting countries. Our national progress in such matters is by no means as slow as these imagine whose attention may not be fized upon them. No other people on the globe adopt agricultural improvements so ear- ily as we of the United States do; and in nothing have we improved more (faster) in the last twenty-Gve years than in practical agri culture, though we know well the world rests under the erroneous impression that the far- mer rarely adopts customs and modes in bis business different from those pursued by his fathers. But we may not weary the city reader with sn essay on a subject of little in- terest to bim unless possessed of a broad scope of mind. The Incoming Administration —We are really surprised with the universal kindness of feeling manifested by the politicians of all parties here towards the new administration, The prevalence of this sentiment evidently grows out of the general confidence in the ex. perienee and past publig history of Mr. Bu. chanan. ‘American politics, to have a national admin- istration come into power under euch circum- stances. While we cee no evidence that party lines are to be thrown down, as was the case on the accession of Mr. Monroe $ the Presi- dency, we certainly find all pemsonal hostility towards the incoming administration, on the part of the opposition in Congress, hushed. How long this state of things may continue is past us to divine. We fear not longer than dissappointed Democrats msy commence to assail Mr. Buchanan and his policy, whatever that may be. The assaults of the disaffected among the opposition have never yet failed to defeat the success of their party a second (consecutive) term. Such disaffection (so produced) formed all the real danger of the defeat of the Democrats in the late election ; for, while it took the shape of Know-Nothing- ism all over the Union, it also wore a Repub- | lican party mask at the North. That the new administration can in any way avoid disappointing one hundred for every one it may appoint, is a physical impossibility ; | while it is no less surely morally impossible that thousands on thousands of the disappointed will fail to raise their hands and voices againat it, because disappointed. That will be the signal for the renewal of their late bitternecs of opposition on the part of the politicians who strove to prevent the triumph of the Demo- crate last fall. Such has been of Jats years the history of such matters, and tuch we fear will continue te be their routine as long as the Government laste; going from bad to worse. Counting the Votes.—A very large oon- course of spectatore bids fair (at 11 a. m.,) tobe Present in the House hall at 12i p. m. to-day, to witness the eexemony of counting the elec toral votes for President and Vice President by the two branches of Congress in joint ses- sion assembled. To those who have never witnessed it, it will doubtlees prove of great interest. P.S. At half an hour past noon, the cere | mony of the day duly commenced. See our Congressional column for a full eccount of it up to the hour the Star went to press. Every seat and standing place around the ha!land in the galleries was ercwded. The turnout of (he ladies was very large and f:sh- ionable. Many distinguished foreigne-s and other strangers were in the ball, evidently deep'y interested in tho preceedings. After the presiding cfficer had announced the resuit, declaring James Buchanan and J C Breckinridge to haye been duly elected, Mr. Humphrey Marshal rose to protest against some point in the forms marking the proceedings, basing bis protest, so far as we could percoive, on the failure of the Wiscon- sin electors to vote on the day fixed; the vote of that State having been admitted nctaith- standing that failure. Distriet Business.—A large portion of the busine:s before the House of greates: impor- tance to the Government’s immense property interests in the District of Columbia, as well as to all our fellow-citizons, remains undis- posed of by the House; the single day so fa‘ given to the consideration of District of Co. lumbia matters not having proved snfficient for its due disposal. The intererts of the people of this District are wholly atthe mercy of Congress, for they have no local legislature to make for them the cimplest regulations, such as those which the progress of the times makes neceasary in every State in the Union. We therefore trost that our frienis of tke House will bear with usin again urging that they appropriate another day in which to die- pose at leeet of the District bills already re- ported, many of which, while they are wholly uncbjectionable, cannot be passed over with- out grievously injaring aad doing cruel injus- tice to the people by whem Congress are now immediately surrounded. We are persuaded that the members, one and ail, feel kind!y to- wards the District aud its inhabitants, and should be grieved, indeed. if the latter should through the inconsiderateness of the members of the House have cause to remember them as those, of ail others, who have seen fit to deny them lceal legislation just as necessary to their future as the legislation of a State of the Unien is to the cities within its boundaries. Jokn Letcher — We perceive, by a late namber of the New Market “ Sptrit of Dae- mocracy,”’ that this gentleman is again a can- didate for re election to his present position, and that he will have nooppusition Even the opposition papers in bis district unite in pre- claiming the impolicy of the idea of depriving the ccantry of bis cervices. This is as it should be Jobn Letohor is one of the men of mark of the age. We know no public man who is growing more rapidly in public estimation, North, South, East and West. The fact thet he is earning £0 high and 80 solid a reputation is, in our jadgment, convincing proof of the abiding good sense and patriotism of American sentiment; for bis fame is indeei fcurd- ed on his devotion to frincip’e, e’ose attention to business. strong intellect, high personal character, end integrity in a!l things that es- chews the shifts of dewazoguism. A valuable msn to the State, is Mr. Letcher. The Cape Fear River Improvement. —The setion of the House, on the day before yester- nay, on the effort of Mr. Winslow to obtain the consideration of the bill to prosecute the removal of the obstructions in the Cape Fear river, placed there for defence during the Rey- olution by the American commander, we re gard as involving the certainty that the bil; eannct be got up during the balance of the session, and is therefore dead for the time be- ing The wonder to us is, that Mr Winslow came so neara triumph at this stage of the seasion; for a change of three votes would have given the bill the two-thirds vote re- quired to bring it before the House It, how ever, shows what perseverance and constant attention on the part of a member will accom. plish as Supreme Court.— Yesterday—No. 41 Ho- ratio N.

Toombs, Toucey, Rusk, Green, Seward, Butler, Crittenden, Hale, Trumbull, Thompson of Keutuoky, Pugh, Bay- ard and Fessenden, ere it was agreed to They next proceeded to the consideration of the bill providing for the survey of the Ohio river and ite principal tributaries, which was debated by Messrs. Bigler for it, and Jones of Tennessee, against it Mr Johnson moved to lay it on the table; not agreed to—yeas 13, nays 24. It was then peter debated by Messrs Green and Butler against it, and ‘h and Crittenden for it, and then, the said bill hay ing been laid aside, sfier the transaction of some other business they adjourned. Is tHe Hovse, the debate in the Committee of the Whole was continued by Messrs Boyce, Granger, Millaon, and Kennett on the subject before them—the Tariff—by Mr. Kelly in re- ply to the late Know Nothing speech of Mr. Akers, and by Mr Davis, of Mass , in defense of the fisheries interes: of bis Stata—the said debate extending over a recess, (from 4 until Tp m) Ke 20 minutes to 9 p. ma., the Committee rose, and the House adjourned. Proceedings of To-Day. Ix tax Senate, to-doy, before they pre- ceeded to the tranesction of business, a mes sage was received from the House announcing that body’s readiress to proceed with the counting of the ele tora! yoter, and they (the members) ac:ording'y went oycr into the House hall. In tax Howse, after some proceedings to ascertain that there was a quorum present, 160 members answered to their names. All further proceedings under the call were then dispenzed with. he Chair laid befure the House sundry de- partmental and other documents, which were referred. Among them was a communication from the State Department, recommending an appro- priation of $8,009 for the ruppression of the African clave trade, with accompanying doct- ments Also, a memorial from the Legislature of New Moxico in regard ta the claims of citizens of that Territory against the United States. Mr Barbour moved to reconsider the vote by which the House had referred to the Post Office Affairs Committee the Submarine Tele- graph bill; which said motion was entered on the journal On motion of Mr. Jones of Tenn., a message wes sent to the Senate notifying that body of the readiness of the House to proceed with the special order of the day. Shortly afterwards, the Senate entered the House, preceded by their President and Sec- retary, und took the seats provided for them around the arez in front of the Sp rs chair, Mr. President Mason occupying a soat on the Speaker's platform, on the Speaker’s right hand. The teliers fir the occasion (Mezers. Bigler of the Senate, and Jones of Tennessee, and Howard on the part of the House.) then com- menoed to read the certificates from the #ev- eral colieges of electors detailing their several proveedings, euch teller taking his turn to read, as the president of the joint meeting an- nounced ths Biate, and handed to them the communication covering the electoral colleges. In the course of these ¥ oceedingy, Senator Cass addresving the presiding officer, suggest ed the propriety of dispensing with reading of aught ar the simple result of the vote in each case, except where the readiug of tho whole letter might be called for. But the latter ruled that it was necessary to read the whole of each communication These proceedings had not been concluded when the Star went to preas — The New York Murder The New York papers say that the crowdin Bond etreet was smaller on Monday morning than on any previous day since the investiga- tion commenced, but within the house prep:- rations had been made for another rush The front aud back parlors were divided by an in- tricate and not very ornamental network of bed cords and pine eticks erected by the pr- lice, in place of the folding doors. and nove were admitted into tho back parlor but the jury, reporters, and witnesses The scientific gentlemen wore still at work up stairs analrs ing the spots of blood, the ataius upon gar ments, &o Coroner Connery came in at a quarter be- fore eleven Celock, and held a long private consultation with the jury, to whum he exhib- ited a number of documents, whick ssemad to interest them deeply.

The coroner, at an early hour, rent for Mr. Ecke! to the Tombs directing his deputy to bring him in a carriage in order to preserve him (Ecke!}) from the insults of the people. At 2 o'clock Mr Eckel was brouzht down from a room where he had been kept since his arrival irom the Tombs, and placed in the witnesses’ chair, when he was examined by Judge Capron. Q—When did you last see Dr. Burdell on the day preceding his death ?

Judge te bey then put a question, and Mr. Eckel remained mum, and banded the coro- nera paper, which he read, in which Eckel declined to answer any question, upon the ground that the coroner, in the return to the writ of habeas corpus, had declared that he was a party implicated. The Express, of Monday afvernoon, says: “Mr. Wm Bardell, who is a citizen of Co- lombue, Ohio, called on Mr Patterson this morning with a letter of introduction from Mr Ball, in which he states that Dr Burdell left 4 large estate and died withcut issue. and that Mr Wm Burdellis nextofkin ‘If let- ters of collection have not issued to the public administrator,’ the letter goes on to say, you ought immediately to examine the papers of the deceased and see if there is 2 will; if not, to have letters issued to the brother.’ ‘* This will, of course, bring all the questiors connected with the estate of Dr Burdell, his alleged marriage, &c , betore the surrogate, To jadge from what is now known of the case, it will prove one of the most interesting ever brought into a court of probate ’”’ by the late great floods is immense, and in its wide-spread extent exceeds anything experi- enced in this country since 1819.

Gzoncerown, Feb. 11, 1856. A telegraphic communication reached our city yesterday about noon, bringing the very unwelcome intelligence that the ive and fresbet | had swept away the whole of dam No 5, | | and part of dam No. 4mpon our camal. The first named of there dam: is situated 106 miles from Georgetown, and 7 miles above Williams- port ; and the second 85 miles from Georgetown | and 5 miles above Harris’ warehouse or Mer- cereville. Each of these dams are very im: portant feeders to the canal, and their loss we presume will tend to pretty well break u navigation upon those portions of the ca: which receive thelr supplies of water by them, | All that portion of the canal lying west of No. 5 must be rendered almost if not altogether | useless, which will doubtless work a suspen- sion of the coal trade, which is greatly to be deplored ut the present time. To reconstract either of t ame on anything lik . manent plan would cost a very In of money, and if the company had all that is necessary at their command ve presume that the work could not be completed in Jess than one or two years time Upon the whole we consider it a great calamity to the District. From all we can learn, there is at present | more excitement in our city upon the subject j of town politics, or the coming election, than | was ever known before. Every individual seems to be deeply interested in the matter, and no one can be found who is not a partici- pstor either on one side or the other.
