cotdially met by the whele South, that asks no more. Fortunate is the country, indeed, in having at the head of its ‘sfsirs in this crisis, a Chief Magistrate and Administration determined, in this connection, simply to en- fome and protect that Lae 4 adieuid “The past gives wisdom for ‘a What wigs at the heel of the last Administration farnishes a safe rule of conduct for the present one There must be a vigorous administration of affairsin Kan- sas. Peace must be preserved. The principle of self-government must be secu: to the actual residents, not merely in theory, bat ractically, and in its broadest meaning. hat the organic act—adopted by the Demo- of the whole country as a rule of action for our new terms secures to the settlers, robbed of by fraud or violence. In the em- phatic langnege of President Buchanan’s In sugural, ‘‘it is the imperative and indispensa- bie duty of the government of the United States to secure to every resident inhabitant the free and independent expression of his opinion by his vote.’ This “ duty’’ must be firmly and boldly disc! - Wespeak, not merely as citizens, but also as politicians, not for ourselves alone, but for the political pay whose views we aim to Tepresent To falter in this “duty’’ would again rekindle violence in Kansas, fill the whole country with excite- ment, blast the new Administration at its out- set, annihilate the party in every Northern State, and at the next National election in the Union, and not improbably end in a dissolution of this confederacy. We be- lieve that the nation may safely congratulate itself, in possessing at this crisis a President, who has not only announced in his {raugural @ true rule of action on this subject, but also has the iron will to carry it inexorably into > execution. Let this be done and all well. ‘- We infer from the tone of Gov. Geary’s address, as well as the date of its issue, that he leaves Kansas definitely, and does not de- sire and will not consent to remain there Of course he does not leave from any indication which the present administration has given him of want of confidence or vigorous support, as be has resigned without time or opportuni- ty to confer with it. We can well imagine that the personal controversy, in which the discharge of his duties in the troubled state in which he found the Territory must have in- volved him, mpy have disinclined him to con- tinue at its head. ‘Doubtless the administration will appre- ciate the importance of selecting a man of the right metal to succeed him. © perceive the Opposition is assailing the President in ad- vance, by predicting the appointment of a Southern man with a view to favoring South- ern interests.

Indeed if a Southern man of chivalrous honor and unfaltering cournge were named—one who would stand immovabiy and fairly on the ground assumed in this mat- ter by the National Demceracy, he wou!d have some advantages over a Northern map, in con- trolling the class of persons by whom the peace of the Territory is, under present cir- cumstances, most likely to be disturbed.’’ EVENING | STAR. ” WASHINGTON CITY: ASMA AS WASH FRIDAY eseeeee Marek 27, 1887, GP ADVESTUARANTS SHOULD 8B LEFT 47 TES OvFion BT Tertrs o'cucce, M.; OTNRSWIEE THBT BAY WOT arrEss ‘UNTIL THE waET DST. SPIKIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Uxion announces the unexpected death of s nephew of the President—saying : “ The President received yesterday, by tel- egraph, the melane! pn ee of the death of bis nephew, Colonel Elliott Eskridge Lane, of Lancaster, Pensylvanis. He died at his residence in Lancaster, yesterday morn- ing, in the prime of early manhood, about 32 years of age. He was unmarried. Col Lane was 8 native of Mercersburg, in that State, but bas resided in Lancaster for the last ten years, where he has won universal esteem and respect by his amiable disposition and his generous and manly qualities His death was very sudden, for although he had been ill for & day or two, with inflammation of the bow- els, his condition was not thought to be dan- gerous until a few hours before he died. Of couse, this intelligence interrupted all of- ficial b yesterday at the Executive Mansion ; and the President and his family, We are sure, wil! have the warm sympathy of the count ip the loss, which bas thus sad- fe denly bef them, of a near and dear rela- tive” The Juted/agencer discusses the Monroe doc- trine in an elaborate and able article. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Washington Art Asscciation—We coi- tinue to-day our notices of the fine collection of pictures at the gallery of the Washington Art Association : No. 53. Autumn Scenery, by F. E. Church. Mr. C. has, in this picture, grappled with a subject that few artists dare to approach, cr ean underteke successfully, and most glori- ously bas be achieved his work. The gor- geous reds and yellows mingled with greens of every shade, that make the woods of New Engiend, in September, more like a fairy creation than reality, require the most skilful management to be wrought into a pic- ture so as that the eye shall not be fatigued by the gaudiness and glare of thetints. In Mr. C.’s picture the sun is seen through a strong autumnal haze which tones down the distance and middle ground, and the hues in the foreground have their gaudy livery suf- ficiently subdued by the shadows, &c., todo awsy with any unpleasant effect. The cattle standing in the water are a most delightful accessory to the landscape No 257 Landscape, by Durand. This well known artist’s pictures, though well composed, skilfully executed and carefully studied, are often defective in color, and have the hard look of engravings. This small picture is one of the kind we allude to. Nos. 73, 74. Two Portraits, by Ellictt, of New York. Any one who has seen s portrait by this artist need scarcely be told that these are very fine heads. Many portraits are good es mere likenesses, as specimens of beautiful coloring, or as possessing other desirable qual. ities, but few are so strong and effective as Ellictt’s. He bas evidently a strong feeling for light and shade, and this, combined with bis great skill and powerful handling, always ensures @ masterly and striking picture from his hand. No. 75 Dying Brigand. Mr May has stu- died, it is clear, the best specimens of the old masters, and endeavors to work up to them- The exeeution of this picture is broad, free, and shows a thorough acquaintance with the higher principles of art. The story is not a very attractive or effective one, but such as it is we understand it at aglance. The robber, wounded and bleeding to death, has fied to his retrest and the bosom of his wife or mis- tress, who, with the fond hope of at least saving the soul, if not the life, of her com- panion, drags herself with him to the foot of an efiigy of the Virgin, whose intercession she implores in bebalf of the dying malefactor. No. 78. The Young Savoyard, by E. John- son. An admirable picture, indeed, with all that faithful attention to detail peculiar to the Dusseldorf school, of which, we believe, Mr Jobnson isa pupil. It appears to be a study from nature. No. 83 Miltom Playing the Organ at Crom- well’s House, by E. Leutse. Taking the de- tails of this picture separately many of them are beautiful, and most of them are unexcep- tionable. The woman and boy on the right hand, and the two children on the floor, are exquisitely graceful, Cromwell and his wife are well conceived, and the secondary figurcs are appropriate; but Milton, who ought to bare been the principal, the most prominent, feature iu the composition, is made not only a secordary one, but is thrown into deep shade— to deep that the immortal bard looks like a black man or a chimney sweep. Nos 95, 96. Ideal Heads, by Huntingdon. Very graceful, and full of sweet expression. Huntington has painted a number of these female heads and a@ppeare to stand unrivaled in that line among American artists. Wo. 97. Ariadne, by Vanderlyn, Although bung rather too high to be well examined, this appears to be an excellent copy from the original Ariadne, which we remember to have seen in the possession of Darand, the artist, some years ago. Durand’s picture was, how- ever, a full length nude figure, whereas this is merely to the waist. _ No 118. La Bouquetiere, by W. M. Hunt, us one of those genuine pictures which “grow upon you,”’ to use a familiar expression. Mod. est and unpretending, of subdued yet rich colori, it requires to be studied to see all its beauties, and the more we do s> the more it steals into our affections. The expression of the poor girl’s face, as she sits by the wayside displaying ber little bunches of violets on her lap, tells of meek resignation to her lot, and yet, we faney, of a feeling that she was born for better things. In the Water Color and Drawing Room there ate some lovely water color, or rather coast scenes, by J. @. Philp, and some spirited drawings by PF. 0. . Darley, which we have not time to notice more particularly st present. Theee, and the many other meritorious pic tares which fill the exhibition rooms, we pro- Pose to discuss at some future day. Kerssz —4 day or two since we re-pub lished an able and interesting article from th> Charleston (S.C ) Mercury upon the existing condition of things in Kansas, by way of ex- emplifying the views, on that so important wabject, of the interest in the Demooratle Party that journal so ably represents. We follow it with a no lees interesting and import- ant extract from the Albany Atlas and Argus, explaining the views onthe Kansas questi nof the powerful wing cf the party with which - that journal isicompected. It will be seen that it plants itself on the ground of » faithful execution of the naked principle of the Ken- Vamosed the Ranche.—Nine-tenths of the New Yorkers lately in Washington have al- ready vanished from among us. Our an- nouncement of the result of their contest for the federal offices in the Empire city seems to have acted like the wave of that magical wand which Signor Blits handles so gracefully for presto,—the darling little turtle doves have all flown away By the time we go to press to-day, nine-tenths of thei will almost have forgotten how they fretted, sweated, splatter- ed, splurged and cozened here up to Wednes- day at noon. We envy their nonchalance on all sides; those who went off victorious, being in no better humor, as far as we could per- ceive, than those who carried away, each, a fiea in hisear. We looked onjm amazement at the emphasis with which each exerted him- self, while there was a possibility that bis ex. ertions might be crowned with success. And, indeed, with greater astonishment at the nonehslance‘#nd geod humor manifested by those of them who came out at the little end of.the horn. They are trumps, every man of them—indeed they are. The Maryland Appointments. —We believe that the Baltimore appointments which will probably be made to day, will turn out as foreshadowed by us perhaps a week ago. A large number of Marylanders are here; alt prominent politicians Ofcourse they are as busy as bees in a tar barrel—these same in- tensely-interested gentlemen. Apropos —A correspondent in this morn- ing’s Sux, writing from this city, says: “Levi K. Bowen, as naval officer, has been likewise — for the same length of time, and to-day the friends of Mr. Hammond were so distinctly advised of it that they with- drew his name entirely. The friends of Mr Hammond referred b, deny its accuracy. They say that no such ad- visement was made to him; and that they withdrew the name of Mr. H, because, per- ceiving that to press his claims would greatly embarrass the President, he (Mr. H ) would not consent to do so. The Government Botanical Gardens.— Strangers in Washington as well as our fel- low-citizens, should visit the conservatories of the General Government at the Capitol grounds. The inside of some of these build- ings at this, time presents the appearance of sn immense boquet of every variety of rich and rare flowers, and the odor which meets one on entering them is exquisitely delicious In the large building, besides the coffee tree, the tes plant; the cinnamon and clove ‘rees, the visitor will find rare plants and flowers from almost every clime. Mr. Smith, the af- fable and intelhgent gentleman who bas these ants under his charge as botanist and saper- Licnacat, is always ready and willing to accompany visitors through the buildings, and takes much pleasure in giving the botanics] as well as the English names of everything @ne secs. Mr. B. Goldbeck.—We learn that circum- s:ances prevent this talented young gentle- man from giving the concert in this city he designed to give this evening; having been ealled suddenly back to New York As this is the season of Lent, we are glad that he postpones it for a brief season; as we know that there is a great desire among our fellow- citizens to hear him, many of whom would not feel at liberty to attend his entertainment during Lent Wholly Untrue.—The statements made by Gov. Geary to a Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, and repeated in the letter of the latter of the 24th, published in the Herald of the day before yesterday, so far as they relate to the Hon. Jefferson Davis, are wholly unfounded in truth, as we shall show to-morrow, not having space to day, in which to refer to them at length. The Naval Court of Inquiry are expected to close the testimony in the case of Lieut. R. W. Moade to dey, when the arguments of the coungel-will be heard. Since yesterday, at noon, the following individuals have been ex- amined in behalf of Mr. Meade: Capt. M. F. Lysch, Lt. Wm. Gwin, lst Lt. Nicholson, U. 8. M.@;, and Mossrs, A. D. Hagyeli and A. 0.

The parties hac been mar- ried for several years withoat having any is- sue. but in April last the lady presented her lord with a scion of the ancient and universal family of the Smiths; he, however, denied ths paternity, and suspicicusly pointed to another Party as the progenitor of the young stranger. The jury returned a verdict for Mrs Smith, the defendant. Mr Bucnayan at tax City Haut —A tall gentlemanly. kid gloved pereonage entered the Chief's Office on Tuesday, and informed officer Masterson that he was James Buchan an, President of the United States, and had come to the City Hall, which he understood was the United States Bank, to draw his year’s talary. He presented a check on the Ulster County Bank, drawn in favor of James Van- derburg, for $25,000, and wanted to see the cashier. The officer replied that he was the cashier, but could not pay the draft at that moment, whereupon Mr Buchanan expressed ‘is regret, and stated that he had been offered the money at the Mint, but as it was in coin he declined taking it, as being too unweildy to be portable. Mr. Buchanan talked very fu- ently and sensibly with the officer, and as- sured him that the country would bo safe while he occupied the White House. He left, promising to call again and get his draft hon- ored next day. We regret that we cannot say where he ee up, for the benefit of the office- seekers. The officer was incredulous enough to believe that the party was insane, that his friends ought to look after him —Now York Herald. Degavrvt Expiosion in Bautwore —A fearful boiler explosion ozcurred esterday, at distill of Higbee & Co., in Baltimore, by which three persons were killed anda large number injured. Some idea of the force of the explosion may be inferred from the fact that the smoke stack was thrown into Jones’ Falls, whilst a heavy piece of the boiler fell beers of that stream, a of about 400 oot. The scene sround the building was terrific: tbe flames bursting forth with a fierceness and immensity of volume which rendered critical the near approach ay ane firemen and citizens.
