EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: «+-s>March 17, 1%57. TUESDAY....... sooo? (@ THE STAR.— Strangers now here are 1eminded that the very best way in which th-y can keep correctly and promptly pested with reference te the de -mgs aud sayings at the Federal Metropolis and concerning events else- . where, of which correct information coacentrates in Washington, is to sub- seribe for The Star. The subscription price fer the Daily, when seat by mail, um ; for the Weekly, SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer is devoted to news to-day. The Union publishes the recent great speech of Senator Hunter, in explanation and advocacy of his tariff bill. We regret that we are without the necessary space for its inser- tion in the Star's columns, as it disposes of the question involved, as far as human reason oan accomplish thatend. At this moment, as @ thinker, 2 well balanced manof great expe- rience, a statesman of nerve and energy to do his whole duty to his trust, and as a legiz- Istor to whom the whole country without dis- tinction of party or section, look up with con- fidence and reverence, Robert M. T. Hunter is the first of living Americans. cq. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. The Star —In accordance with a design re- solved on six months ago, on or about the Ist of April proximo, we shall make changes in the arrangement of the Ster’s columns, which will sfford in thom spece for perhaps four col umns more of news, miscellaneous and other matter than we can crowd into them at pre- sent. At the sams time we shall don eur an nual new dress of type, which is now being east especially for us, with all the newest im- provements, by Pelouse & Son, of Philadel- pbia; and the editorial and reportorial and other force in our cffice will then be corres- pondingly increased. We owe theze expensive changes to the favor which the community of the District of Co- lumbia and the surrounding country have ever manifested for this journal. We have labored faithfully to deserve their regard; having permitted nothing to swerve us from the high and pleasant duty of standing by their true interests at al] times end under all circumstances, with all of such powers of in- tellect, exergy and perseverance as we are endowed with. We have at the same time striven to make the Star's colamns the me- dium of inoulsatiog right principles, not per- mitting them to be prostituted to the incalca- tion of ideas likely to injure the well-being of seciety at large, for the sake of riding on the topmost wave of evanescent public opinion— Muthrcon popalarity. We shall continue to aim to make all cur fellow-citizens of all par ties in polities, and all positions in society- Jook t, ths S¢ur as particularly their paper ;’ going, as it does, into the bosom of nearly every family in the District cf Columbia. The Resigna:ion cf Governor Geary — ‘This event was, las: nizht, the theme of uni- versal conversation among the politicians of Washington, whose name is legion. A dosén different aspirants for the position thus mace Vacant sprabg full grown into the arena in an hour after ours anuouncement of the fact— some very gocd, and others bad, “‘ Like Jere- miah’s figz, too bad to give the pigs” A train of strikers immediately hitched them- selves on to tho tail of each of them, and made a lively time on’t, indeed, for a few hours, incracking up and running down the Tespective claims of the new-born candidates for Executive favor. It is to be presumed that Governor Geary’s resignation wust embarrass the Administra- «son not a little. We koow well that such an event would have greatly embarrassed its predecessor; and take it for gtanted, their views being understood to be identical with reference to Kansas affairs, that the present Administration will find it equally difficult to replace him to its own satisfaction It is underetood that the pesition held by the Senate upon the question of eustaining the policy of the late administration with ref- @rence to the removal of Judge Lecompton, caused Gov @’s resignation. In compliance with his virtual request, Judge L was re moved, and the Senate refused to sanction that act by eonf:ming bis successor; nor would they yield to repeated efforts to induce them sotodo In the mean while, Judge Le. compton disputes the right of President Pierce to remove him, holds on to all the papers of his Office, and if we mistake not exercises all, cer_ tainly sme, cf the fanctions of the cffice; no successor having been confirmed and gone out to dispute his right to the office there on the spot. As deplorable as this state of things is, it would bave been worse, far worse, indeed, ‘Were two judges engaged in discharging the fanetions of his ¢fice—holding courts, &¢.— each backed by a large portion of the popu lation gealous in maintaining their alleged Tespective rights. What an immense amount of after litigation such a state of things would engender! We've an ides that Governor Geary’s retig. nation is in some respects conditional. That is, that it was not designed to be absolute if the Administration could relieve him from Judge Lesompton; the Senate continuing its attitude om the eubject matter. There’s the rub; and a tough one it is,traly. The refusa of the Senate to confirm the nomination a President Pierce, amounts to a denial on the part of that co-ordinate body of the power of the Executive to remove a Territorial Judge. and is thus substantially sustaining Judge Le compton in bis refusal to vacate the off, the President's bidding. Itfis believed cn the Avenue that this vexed question was the subject of most of the long and earrest Cabinet session of yesterday, and that it was determined if possible, to retain Governor Geary ; which, it will be remember- ed, was the policy of the Pierce administra- tion ‘Those who bave the matter in hand (the Government here) are evidently aiming to discharge their whole duty to their trast withe out fear or favor—without turning to the right or left; and all good citizens, we are very sure, hope that they may conduct this affair to s peascefal and bsppy covclusion. Layirg it On a Leetie Too Thick —A cor- respondent of the New York Tomes, signing himself -‘ Observer,” it seoms, ensconces-hix- self in some of the furniture under Mr. Bacb- anan’s bed, and from his agreeable hidicg Place peeps out ever and anon to see how ter. ribly the office-seckers worry Mr. B. while drawing on his stockings o’ mornings. Such, at least, is a fair covelusior, from the wonderful stories he writes to the Times concerning the doings of the office-seekers in that particular chamber and in all others of the White House. He is satisfied that the rush upon Mr. Buch" anan for office, in person, is much greater than on Harrison in 1840, and on Taylor in 1848! Why, the man’s mad. For every person now besieging the White House for office, there were at least fifty in those times. As bad as sach things are—and any such efforts to ob- tain cffice are annoying and reprehensible, and are therefore bad—no office-seeking in person is going on here now, when compared with that of the times we mention above. We wish we could write none at ail; but our whole system of politics must undergo a radi- eal change before « reform so important to the future well-being of society in the United States can be brought about. In this connec- tion we may truthfally add that the stories in distant papers alleging the physical feeble- ness of the President under the solicitous at- tentions of the cffice-seekers are all fol de rol. He has not looked better or been a stronger man physically in fifteen years, than at pres- ent So, too, is there no truth in the similar stories with reference to the Secretary of State. The whole matter is in s nut shel!: Washington correspondents must eke out start- ling paragraphs, or in these days, when news- paper readers at the North are so devoted to clap-trap, their letters are not worth the room in the wonder monging journals they occupy. A Man in a Thousand.—We saw at the In- terior Department, yesterday, Mr: Benjamin F. Robinson, the Government agent for the Delaware Indians, a stalwart specimen of the genus “Pro-alavery Border Ruffian.” When the sales of the Delaware trust lands took place not long since, the money was paid dsily as it came into his hands At the conclu- sion of the sales he placed the whole sum Frealized, (in specie) $467,000, in two horse wagons, and with a guard of some ten Dela- wares and white men journeyed through “ bleeding Kansas’’ and the innumerable ter- rible Border Ruffians located in his path, crossing all the rivers on the ice by the way, until he reached St. Louis, where he deposited the whole sum without the loss of a dollar, in the Sub-Treasury. This is an official feat that should, in justice, be made known; for, indeed, it, is worthy of all praise. The Long Bridge.—We regret to have to say that our friend of the Alexandria Gazette is in error in his late paragraph announcing the intention of the Commissioner of Public Buldings forthwith to commence the necessary repairs of the Long Bridge. A scfficient sum, probably, to accomplish that so desirable ob- ject is in his hands for repairs of bridges— perhaps $12,000 in all. But he does not feel at liberty to devote it to that end without be- ing so directed by the Seoretary of the Inte- rior. We therefore call on the authorities of Washington to make it their business at once to obtain from the Secretary the necessary order. We have no doubt that the order can be obtained in forty eight hours, if the matter be promply attended to. In six weeks after tie order may be given, the bridge can be rendered passable for ordinary vehicles Dead —The Navy Department have infor- mation of the death of Purser Thomas P. McBiair, U 8. N_, that took place on the 17th or Fevruary, om board tme uited Stutes steam frigate Merrimac, in the Gulf. His disease is eaid to have been of the heart. His remains were buried on the next day in the Episcopal cemetery at Santa Cruz, with the military honors due to bis rank. Appointed.—John“W. Webber has been appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury to be Superintendent of the Cons: action o the new Marine Hospital at Burliagton, Iuwat and, also, Chas. Kean, to be Superintendent o; Construction of the new Cuetom House, Post Office, and U. 8. Court Rooms at Plattsburg, N.Y. The Naval fourt of Inquisy were en. gaged, for the balance of their session yester- day, in the examination of Lieut. Barnet on the part of the Department At the conclu: sion of his examination to-day, Henry C Es- ling, Eeq., of Philadelphia, formerly residing at Rio Janeiro, (in 1854,) was sworn, and was giving testimony on the Department’s behalf as the Siar went to press. 4 Morning Reception —The dignified and accomplished neice of the President, Miss Lane, who presides over his household, re- ceived visitors at the Execative Mansion at noon today, s large number of whom, ladies and gentlemen, paid their respects to her. President Buchanan was at that time engaged in council with his Cabinet. Hon. J. Glancy Jones —This distinguished gentleman reached Washington, last evening, much improved in health, we are hapyy to have itin our powertosay. Ile has part- ments at the Kirkwoods’. Court of Claims.—Yesterday—A. Harris, administrator of R. Armstrong, claiming that ® pension under the act of August 2, 1813, should commence at the date of the disability, anc not at the time of completing the proof The case was argued by J.8.Tysop, Esq , for the claimant, and by the Deputy Solicitor for the government, and submitted. Mr McPherson submitted his argument for the government in the case of Thomas T Can- non and others. Adjourned.

(From the San Francisco Bulletin, February 12.} Last ning; (11th,) at half-past 9 o'clock, as Mr. Thos 8S. King, editor of this " was walking down the northern side of Wash ington street, and was c: Dupont street, he met Frederick A. Cohen, who appeared to be orossing Dupont street from the other side. Mr King was muffied up in a short clouk, which was buttoned tightly about his neck and shoulders. Cohen also wore a closk and carried in his hand a loaded cane. As the two met, not a word was exchanged and they passed. Immediately afterwards, Cohen turned round and struck Mr King on the head, beck of the right ear, with his cane. Mr. staggered out into the street, and endea' to open and throw off his cloak, when he another blow from Cohen By that time he had succeeded in cremiog a Derringer pistol. Ashe was staggering under the second blow, he fired at Cohen. The ball ruck the latter under the chin, on the right je, and passing transeversely across to the left side of the jaw, ploughed out « small fur- tow of skin, doing no material damage, but drawing blood. As soon as Mr. King fired, he i 4 backward. Cohen then ran to wards him and clinched, when Mr. King threw him off, tore open his cloak, and endeavored to draw a second pistol; but before he oou'd do so, he fell or was pushed into the cellar- way on the north side of Washington street, a rod or two east of Dupont street. At this moment a man named McKenzie, an ex-policeman, seised Mr. King, and reprosent- ing himself as a policeman, endeavored to take away bis pistol. While they wore strug- pling Capt. Hiil came up, and Mr. King and e went to the office of the Chief of Pi y Cohen had meanwhile been arrested by officer Ellis, and taken to the station-house. A com- plaint of an assault with deadly weapon w made against Cohen, who afterwards mad like complaint against Mr King The parti were soon afterwards released on bail, Cohen iving $1,000 bail, with A N. McPherson and ir Stout as sureties. Cohen reports that he met Mr King, and asked him why his name was used in his ‘“«— dirty sheet,” and that immediately Mr. King fired. Mr King most positively denies that Cohen spoke a single audible word before he struck the blow. Cohen is reported to have said previcusly ‘‘ he would call Mr. King to an account, for an article which ap- peared in the Bulletin of Tuesday.’’ Fortu- nately, Cohen was observed waiting about the corner for some time before, and was seen by other persons to cross =p behind and give the first cowardly blow. * 2 *® The matter subsequently came up before Judge Coon, who sentenced Mr. F. A. Cohen on a charge of assault and battery on Thomas S. King, ‘‘to pay a fine of $60, or go to the county jail till said fine be satisfied according to law, at and after the rate of ten days for evory one hundred dollars.’ Mr. F.A Cohen was not in court, but his brother, A. A. Cohen immediately paid the fine. ——_——- PERSONAL «ees Gov. Willis A. Gorman of Mion., is in Washington, at the St Charles. eevee Kev J.

A largs umount of business was tranr- acted yesterday. At the session uf the Gen- eral Conference last year two amendments were made to the discipline. one of which looks to the appointment of Missionary Bish- eps, whose jurisdictions shall not extead be- yond the places for which they may be ap- pointed, and the other reducing the number of representatives to the General Conference, subject to the concurrence of a majority of the Annual Conferences. Both propositions were agreed to. The question of the division of the fund collected during the year was called up and elicited considerable discus- ions Strong opposition was made to giving any part of such fund to the effective preach- ers until the whole claims of the widows, or- phans, and superanuated preachers were psid in fall. 1t was announced by the presiding Bishop that the appointments had not been concluded. A request was made that all who felt disposed would go the Whitehurst’s for the purpose of having their likenesses taken, to be deposited in the Historical Society con- nected with the Conference. Should the business be finished up in time the appeint- ments will be announced about one o’clock, otherwise there will be an afternoon session, Balt.
