EVENING § TAR. WASHINGTON CITY: THURSDAY - April 2, 1857. SP/RITOF THE MORNING PRESS The J.telligencer argues earnestly for the initiation of the co long promiced ‘ era of good feeling” under the present National Adminis- tration, and, as we translate its article, cor- tends that Mr Bachanan has as much to gain by so administering the Goverrment as to propitiate tke cppcsition, as by sesking- en- tirely to satisfy his own political party. The Union announces the death of the late Hon Sampson W Harris, of Alabama, lung a member of the House of Eepresentatives of the United Stater, which took place yester- day, at his lodgings, in this city Me had been ill of pneumonia complicated with laryn- Gitie, siree the endof the late session—with these diseases which, by the by, carried off Mesers. Preston 5S. Brooks and David T. Dis- ney. Mr. Harris bore bimself with msnly and cbristian fortitude daring his distressing illness, which so long threatened to be fatal. Sarrounded by his family friends, and at- tended with ecarce'y less Solicitude by a host of friends residing kere to whom he had en- deared himcelf, everything possible was done to alleviate his sufferings. As a legislator he had few euperiors, though remarkably nnob- trusive; for Grmness, intelligence, industry, and high yersenal churacter were traits he potseseed in a remarkable degree. We are infprmed that bis remains will bo taken to Athens, Georgia, the residence of his mother ard othcr members cf hia family, for interment. LL WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tho Natioral Hotel—The loca‘ ion of Wash- ington Las always been celebrated for its pure airand heaith Want of judgment, ignerance or neglect, citheria individual or the corpo- rate auilorities, bas caused the trouble which has been so rericus a watter to the National Hotel. To constract an hotel with every con- venience and comfort, innumerable windows for ventilation and an abundarce of pure Water passing ihrouzh it, with sewers conre- niect for the reception of filth, are neccs. sary. Thus constructed, to become in a ecnd™. tion to be aveided as the Upas tres, and that suddenly, could only be protuecd by the brick sewers having become thoroughly saturated with the contents of the waterclosets. We do not know that there are brick sewers in the cellars, or beneath the hotel. If any exist we feel confident thatthe present proprietor iz not aware of it, or they would long since have been romoved; still, it would be well to examine acd ascertain, and if bricksare found Saturated and cffensive, either in a wall, pavement, cr sewer, they should te removed immediately, (as no whitewashing or cleans- ing will evail.) and the earth ia their vicinity, if offensive, be replaced by clean clay. Surely there are those in tho vicinity of the hotel who could give some idea of the interior sew- erage, and, icformation may be obtained from the various plumbers and sewer constructors who have st different times been employed on the premises. All sewers pasting through the interior of a house, intended for water clvzets, should Le of motal. When the above suggestions are attended to, and the house cleansed and vertiiated through the windows, the hotel will be restor- ed to its furmer position. The idea of arsenic having foucd its way into the water or focd is erroneous. The poison was mixed with the fucd ard in euch water as was exposed for a time in buckets or pitchers, there can be no doubt. It wasa mest deleterious poison, gene- rated and exhaled from the water sewers, having been abeorbed by ali solids and fluids expesed to ite inflaenco ia the cellars of the hotel. See the evidence of the hotel cooks who were most afected and most cautious in preparing their food, as well as moet exposed to the deleterious gases; hence, those who only slept in the hotel were affected by inhal- ing the deleterious gases, and thos» who only ate in the hotel were affected by the food and water havirg been saturated by the gases; one individus! who only élept in the hotel, With a window open, eceaped unirjured. The Fair—While the recent Protracted ex- hibition of the Washington City Mechanics’ Institute has added something to its treasury. and bas been a source of great erj yment to perbaps twenty thousand citizens and stran gers, young end old, male and female, it has been of infinite service to this community in a way which the general observer will hardly appreciate fur some time to come. Thus, it has familierized thousands with improved methods and modee—with the advantages of, aud the means for, saving labor and improving in the eurrest methods of accomplishing a multitude of things, ordinary and particular. From clipping bar iron instantaneously by the applicaticn «f the strength of a single indi- vidual to an irgenous machine—a very urefal opersticn ia @ hundred workshcps and hard- ware stores around ui—down to # convenient and economical way of generating sufficient brilliant gas to tupply a chamber lamp, an infinite amcunt of really useful information bas been scattcred broadcast throughout this community throuch this exhibition, all of whied, eooner or later, will work economics] and comfortable and agreeable changes for our fellow-citizene We are withcut space in which to enlarge Upen this temo; yet wo certainly realize in cur mind’s eye, the vast improvements in Wasbingtcn’s metheds and modes, busineer ard domestic, to result from the eagerness wich which the visitorsat the exhibition hung ever and carefully scanned every useful as well ¢8 urnamental or curious thing there chown. The ¢ffect of the affair on exhibitors from a distance was most happy, and cannot fail to inerease the disposition of the ingenious and enterprising in all sections cf the Union to bricg hither gnnually specimens of their me- chanical and artistic skill, to be inspected by the thousands of people of taste, experience, wealth and influeace over the popular mind at bome, who, in the winter, are in the babit of congregating at the Federal Metropolis, us in the rummer, atthe leading watering places The Mirneso:a Seat of Government Quea- tion —We hear that this question has been brought before theAttorney General throughan application from the Marchal of the Territory for instructions as whether he is legally bound to obey the (alleged) law of the Territory directing that from apd after the 41h of May pext, the United States territorial Cficers shall reside at St. Petets’ rather than at St: Pauls, asuptothistime The case is eaid thus to have gone up to the Attorney General of the United States upon a copy of the (alleged) Territorial enactment and an opinion of the Territorial Attorney Genersl raling that it (the alleged law) conflicts with the organic law of the Territory, ands therefore of no force or effect. 3 . By the by, those: Minnegotions fm Washing- ton city who hold that their seat of govern- ment has not been legally changed, insist that the contrary opinion lately given by the Hon Reverdy Johnson was based on an exparte showing of the case. Forcible views foreibly expressed —-W, failed to receive the first number of Mr. Pryor's new journal, but find it already ex. tensively quoted, and from one of our ex- changes extract the following views of its edi- itor with reference to the moral and political effects of the enactment of the Kansas-Ne- braska act and the decision of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case : ‘Iothe final conflict between slavery and sbolitioniem which this very decisicn will pre- Gipitate rather than retard, the principles of the judgment in the Dred Scott case may be of some avail to the South in giving an ap- rance of justice and moderation to its po- Of these advantages the South is se- but let us pot abandon ourselves to the dolerium of a premature heed Ba The vic- tory is not yet gained; and it is a question whether the decision may not add as much to the material strength of the North as it de- ducts from its moral power. Another ruch suczessas was.achieved in the Kansas Ne- braska act, and the South would have been twadone—zo hardly was the victory won, and so much of resentment and ferocious energy did it infase into the ranks of the adversary. It seems as ifthe same consequence will fol- low from our recent triuwph in the Sapreme Court The abolitionis's are not at all abashed or dismayed ; on the contrary they accept this repulse as another blowin the work of im- perting compactness and strength to their organization, and, from the fire that consumes Dred Soott, they aupear to anticipate a con- flagration which will again set the popular rentiment of the North io a blaze of indigna- tion. They know well enough that the Su- preme Court is infallible only in a technical sense; and that even its decision may be re- versed by the vote of a popular faateaity _ They remember that this same august tri bunal, after elaborate argument, pronounced a National Bank to be constitutional, and that the people reversed tho decision in the trium- phal re-election of Andrew Jackson; and with thisinstructive example in their eye, they betray a rewlution to contend for alike victory inthe end ‘be Black Republican party will go into the caovass of 1860 strength- ened rather than discredited and weakened by the adverse judgment of the Supreme Court, and we might as wel! prepare for the straggle At least let not the South cherish the delusion that its cauae is triumphant and its right secure ”” Appointed by the Presidant.—Jobn W Whitfield, of Kansas, Register of the Land Office, and Danicl Woodson, of Kansas, Re- ceiver of Public Moneys, for the *‘ Delaware Land District,” Kansas Territory.

The Armories.—Owing to a clerical error in enrolling the Army Appropriation Dill passed at the late session of Congrees, we hear, all the civil employees of the Government at all the United States construction armories came within an ace of being thrown out of employment. The bill, as ordered to be en- rolled, contained a clause appropriating $260,- 000 for the continuance of the work at these establishments during the next fiscal year The enrolling clerk overlooked it, and failed to insert it in the enrolled bill. As there are some $200,000 in the treasury that may be lawfully used to carry on the work at these eetablishments—appropriated to continue fur nishing the several States with arms—it will doubtless suffice, with the prudence and judg- ment with which it will be expended, to keep the several armories in operation from the end cf the current fiscal year until Congress shall meet; when tho clerk’s mistake will doubtless be promptly cured The District Marshalship —We hear on the avenue of quite a number of applicants for the position of United States Marshal of the District cf Columbia, among them being Messrs. Bell, Leonard, Tucker (Beverly,) Sel- den, Wallach (C. S ,) McMallin, Stambaugh, aod Kimmel. We take it for granted, also, that Marshal Hoover will require very little pressing, indeed, to induce him to retain the Cflize in caze the Executive shall signify that such is his desire. Marshal Hcover ba: mide a capital « ffizer in nearly every respect» and in the discharge of the duties of the position has won the cenfidence and re- pect of this community without distinction of party. While we have no disposition to in. terfere, with the Star, in the current struggle for the position, it isdue to Marshal Hoover that we should thus testify to the fact stated above. The Washington Insurance Company.— The new company commences operations un- der most auspicious ciroumstances.
