TUESDAY .... SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Unrox points out with much force the impropriety of the recent act of eight of the thirty-two judges of the Superior Court of the State of New York, in assembling and giving an extra judicial opinion upon the subject of the legality of the suspension of the banks of that State. The f#tellicencer commends the spirit of broad nationality displayed in a late meeting at Boston of the political friends of Gov. Gardi- ner; and gathers from exchanges that there are already 30.000 operatives in the immediate vicinity of Philadelphia out of employment; 12,500 who lately worked for the clothing stores in Cincinnati; that all the cotton mills of the Lowell corporation have ceased work, and that the carpet mills of the same corporation work but five instead of six days in the week; that the mills of the Middlesex corporation are gradually stopping their operations; and that in New York the Methodist book concern have discharged all but 80 of their 300 hands; and, further, that 4,000 cigar makers have been thrown out of employment in the same city. What a state of things—this—to have been brought upon the country, for the most part, by the improper speculations and mismanage- ment of those entrusted with the conduct of the affairs of the chartered banking institu- tions of the non-slave-holding States! Se WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tse Pesnic Works or Vireinta.—The Riebmond Engvirer of yesterday, in an inter- esting and able article on the necessities of the times, seems to imagine that the Legislature soon to meet at Richmond, will decline to tax the people of the Old Dominion to an extent sufficient for the continuance of the}work on the half-finished public works in which the State is pecuniarily interested, unless by and through the levy of a tax on the oysters taken from the waters of the State for sale without her bound- aries for the most part, and some plan of insu- rance by which the State Treasury is to become aninsurer. Of this last scheme we know noth- ing ; of the other we feel very sure that Vir- ginians themselves will pay, per capita, the Jargest proportionate share of the tax, insomuch as they are the most inordinate oyster eaters in the world. That scheme may be a fair and just one, for we have not yet had occasion to examine wheth- er it would tend to lessen the revenues of the citizens of the State to an extent likely to in- jure her more than the tax collected would ben- efit her, that being the only question the Leg- islature may legitimately consider in deter- mining whether it will be prudent or not to lay such an excise duty on catching the delicious esculents. | But we have to take issue with the Enquirer upon the subject of the aggregate of taxation paid by the people of Virginia. We are no believer in the idea that the taxes of Virginia have been and are high. Were her people in debt the case would be different. They are very generally forehanded, however, and not one in one hundred of them know of the exist- ence of the current commercial troubles from experience in their own affairs. They have never yet felt taxation as it is realized clse- where. and are able and willing to save the State's investments by paying, in the shape of State taxation, every dollar that may be neces- sary tocontinue the work on her leading lines of improvements. Unless that be done, her securities, which depend to so remarkable an extent on their speedy completion for their (her securities’) value in markets outside of her limits, will, in twelve months, be worthless. She will thus dishonor her own credit abroad. All the business world know that only by Steady perseverance to the completion of State enterprises of the sort have States of the Union that have entered on extended systems of inter- nal improvements, been able te redeem their finances from the shocks such as that which now threatens the financial affairs of the Old Dominion. Whenever they have wavered they only have been the losers by that course on their part, and the moment they have again put their shoulders to the whcel their atucks have risen in the market. Look at Pennsylvania! For years the ery of over taxation to complete her public works pre- vented the levying of the necessary taxes to that end. During that time she was classed with the most odious of all the repudiators, and her fair name was a by-word of reproach throughout the civilized world. Better coun- sels eventually prevailed in her affairs, and her people were taxed toa point sufficient for the completion of her internal improvement sys- tem, which, throuzh its completion, has placed her as a State in the most enviable condition. Tt will not be exiravagant to say that the eom- pletion of her system of internal improvements has quadrupled the value of every acre of land in Pennsylvania. That the completion of Vir- &inia’s system is to do as much for the interests of her substantial citizens, we doubt not. As far as constructed, we know that it has already so resulted, and our experience teaches that such is to be the result to the end. We are not believers that an intelligent representative of any county of Virginia can fail to satisfy his constituents that it is fur their interest to bear all the taxation possibly necessary at this time to proseeute the construction of all the State works now under way. Russia axp tae Usttep States.—Tho Pennsylvanian, ina reeent article, publishes many facts bearing on the presentcondition and future of the Russian navy, éc., of no little in- terest in this country, if but from the fact that that Government is accustomed to resort to the United States for her imported steamships. ‘There is no reason. by the by, why Americans should not be employed in the management of steamboats on the rivers of Russia. We feel very sure that no others would do as much for the development of the capacities of the inland waters of Russia for steamboating purposes as our own steamboat-mencan do. Would it not be well for the Russian Minister to suggest to his Government the plan of having river steam- ers built in Russia by Americans, on an Amer- jean model. and to employ a sufficient number of Americans to manage two or three of them as they manage steamboats here, by way of giving their system of river navigation by steam a fair start upon the best plan known to to the civilized yorld ” The following is the article from the Penn- salvancan to whieh we refer : Ixemease ov Resstay Navy—Prospects For AMERICAN Ma Nists AND Sutv-Buitpers.— Taree KR jay ar corvettes (screw steamers) passed Constantinople on the Mth of September, on their way to the Euzine. ‘The correspondence beara: * this information says that the amen oad phen Spe so tar as steam power is the war.

It is a matter to be justly proud of, but that is not all. [tought to be turned to advantage—to the mutual advantage of this country and the Rus- sian government We understand that the latter is striving, by every possible means, to raise the character of their navy, both inthe Baltic and Euxine, and that, for the waters of the Euxine, the * Russian Navigation Company”’ has at present under con- tion no less than forty steamers, and as soon ey will have mustered at Odessa, the com- pany means to double the number. It is said that these vessels are of large dimensions, so as to be converted in case of need into war steamers. But most of them are probably intended, in time of peace, for the navigation of the great rivers that flow into the Black Sea, which are as yet al- most entirely destitute of steam vessels. The Neva and other rivers of the northern portion of the Empire are but very erp aed 4 supplied withthem. The necessity of establishing steam navigation on the waters of the interior is deeply felt the government. It is dictated both by commercial and strategical reasons—for the trans- port of produce to the seaboard in time of peace. and for the provisioning of fortified ports and transport of troops in time of war. Indeed, river steam: navigation has to precede the intended in- crease of the Russian navy, for reasons too ob- vious to require demonstration, hence the extra- ordinary activity in the former department. The hulls of these river steamers had, of course, to be built in Russia, but it will be ntterly impossible for Russian machine shops to furnish the requisite engines These establishments are few in num- ber, and the manner in which they work is pro- verbially slow. There is, then, a wide field open to our able and ingenious machinists, to which we would calitheir attention. The financial dif- ficulties prevailing here afford advantages to the Russian Government, which if intimated to them, they would not be slow to perceive; while con- tracts securing work to our numerous unemployed mechanics would be very desirable at present. The industrials of England are constantly watching their chances abroad ; ours should do the same. Situated as we are, the promptest means to resume activity, perhaps the only one at this particular juncture, consists In the further extension of our business transactions beyond the limits and wants of our own country. British industry derived, previous to the war,” very con- siderable revenue from the necessities of the Russian Empire; but the treaty of peace has failed to restore the commercial intercourse be- tween the two nations to its former position The increase of the Russian navy aud marine | here to our ship-building yardsa fair chance. We build not only faster vessels than England, but in an economical point of view we possess unparalleled advantages in the best and cheapest material and its abundance. Every inch of wood used in England and France for ship-building pelea has to come across the se: patly en- hanced by freichts,ete. This country is destined to hecome, at no very remote day, the monopo- lizing centie of naval architecture. We have beeu hitherto too busy at home to improve inter- national opportunities. Now is the time for our industrials to attend to their interests abroad, and if they set about it in the right way their efforts will be crowned with success. Teuixe Waorrers.—The New York Tv7- bune, by way of keeping up its game of misrep- builtin a manner | titles in pursuance to decisions of the Board of resentation of the South, impudently intimates that failures on the part of Southern dealers to pay their bills owing in New York has had as much to do with the late failures in that city as aught else. Now ,there is no truth whatever in thisinsinuation. The register of failing mer- cantile houses so pertinaciously published by the gone-to-pot house of Bowen & McNamee. in their /dependent newspaper, proves that thi: assertion of the Zrijune is untrue. That shows that there has been within the last six months as great a falling off in the number of Southern mercantile houses failing. as there has been an increase in the number of failures among the Northern commercial houses. Those are facts bearing on the question of the influence of Southern institations on the business ‘condition or prosperity of the country which should be known and appreciated everywhere. We men- tion them, therefore. in order that the poison of the Tribune's slander may be thus extracted. Mr. Nathan Appleton. in his letter referred to in the Star yesterday, explained satisfacto- rily the cause of the financial trouble to be in the mismanagement of the banks of New York city; and it will take even more than the per- sistent mendacity with which the Tridne does such things. to sbift the responsibility for the injury inflicted on the country. even in part, on to the shoulders of the South, which through- out its length and breadth is at this moment clearer of debt to the North, and more ready and willing to pay on demand what it owes. than ever before. Restorrp.—It will be recollected that some two years ago, Captain Alexander Reynolds, then of the Quartermaster’s department, was struck from the rolls of the army on aecount of an alleged heavy defaleation in his pecuniary transactions with the Government. Since that time, his public accounts have been arbitrated, we hear, resulting in his entire cxoneration from the claim uponhim. They have also gone before the United States Courts for the Eastern District of Pennsyvania on the suit of the Gov- ernment, and an intelligent jury have decided that he is, to sume extent, the Govornment’s ereditor—not its debtor. We hear ‘hat under these circumstances, and after a thorough examination into all the facts involved in the case, the Secretary of War ree- ommended to the President that Captain Rey- nolds be restored to his rank in the service; and that he has accordingly been so restored. This action on the part of these distinguished functionaries is most commendable, insomuch as it is the duty of the Government to deal generously with persons in Captain R.’s situa- tion. Both the arbitrators and a jury of his countrymen decided, in effect, that he had been grievously injured, however unintentior - ally, in the previous action of the Govern- ment, and it was but right and proper that that injury should be thus, as far as possi- ble, repaired. We honor the Sceretary and President for the promptness with whieh they have vindicated, in this case, the principle of the integrity of the pur of the Government in its dealings with public servants, which their predecessors would doubtless have been glad of the opportunity to have done under similar circumstances. Tae Navar Covers or Ixguy.—Court No. 1, to-day, have been engaged in hearing documentary testimony In the case of Lieut. Whiting, which is still before them. In Court No. 2, to-day, in the case of Lieut. Morgan, which they are still trying, Capt. Mer- cer. and Lts. Morris and Murray were exam- ined on the applicant’s behalf. After we went to press. yesterday, Commodore Salter was also examined on the same side of this case. Before Court No. 3, where the case of Lt Flagg eontinues on trial, Commanders Glenin and Stoddard, and Commodore Smith were ex- amined on behalf of the applieant. An Imuportaxt Puar Recievep.—By the last mail from California the General Land Office received a plat of the rancho Roblar de la Miseria, confirmed to Daniel Wright of al., and containing 16,887 45-100 acres. This claim is situated in township five, north ot range seven, and townships four, five and six, north of range cight west, in the Mount Diablo mer- idian, and is bounded north by the Cotate rancho, east by the Petaluma rancho, south by the Miranda and Laguna San Antonio ranchos, and west by Blucher rancho. This plat being, however, unaccompanied by the required tran: - cript of the proceedings in the District Court of California, is necssarily returned. Courts-Apsupicaten Laxn Tities.—The General Land Office, in issuing land patents or Land Commissioners (in California) or of de- j erees of the District Courts or the Supreme Court of the United States, where such de- cisions become final by operation of law, are exceedingly particular to guard any rights that adverse claimants may have, by conflicting t:- tes or through alleged contracts with original grantees or their assignees. The general knowl- eige of this fact will belikely to save such par- ties mueh trouble and uncasiness. Onto.—We have a private despatch, this. morning; from Columbus, saying that Ohio has certeinly elected Payne to be her next Gover- nor. Nevertheless, we confess that our skepti- cism on that head is not yet entirely removed. If it be true, the victory is indced ono of the most remarkable of the times.

We have been requested by Mr. Slemmer to say that his objections to the railroad-connection pre- ject are not wholly, or even principally, because of theaddition that it would make to the taxes, but because he holds such subscriptions by mu- nicipal corporations to be wrong in principle; in- asmuch as (lie says) the masses are made to bear the burden of the expense, while but a few reap the benefits resulting therefrom. Healso objec to the making of the connection (even though the bridge be built) until it be made to appear that the Alexandria, Loudoun and Hamps Rail- read will be built in a re: iod—the prospects for which he cous loomy at this time. These explanations we deem due to Mr. Slemmer, inasmuch as he thinks he was able to make them fully understood at the me ing last week, in cons: sion in the Hall at the time he - We must say, however, that we diff: s ner, very materially, in several of his conclusions. We believe that the construction of this road be productive of the very best results to th eral interests of Georgetown; that it is hardly possible that such an enterprise could work to the advantage of one class of our citizens, without all being to a greater or less extent beneflted; and that, therefore, all classes should be required to bear a portion of the burden of an enterprise from which all expect to derive more or less benefit.

The hour of mid-doy passed, however, withont any outbreak, (the Government in the mean time having quietly made several ariests, which fros- trated the whole pian,) and doors were again opened and business resumed as usual, though the city did not become perfectly quiet again for two or three days after. On the Ist instant, military detachments were sent to San Angel and Tacubaya to inquire into certain alleged revolutionary symptoms. Sundry arrests were made by military officers. The Mexican Congress had commenced its ses- sion, and was bur fy emyloyed in settling con- tested elections. One or two of the members had refused to take the oath to support the Constitu- tion. ‘The now assured success of the Tehuantepec Toute has given a wonderful impetus to everyth: on the Isthmus.
