EVENING STAR. y N CITY: wa AENOTOS SOT Ea, SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Intelligence®, under the head of “ Jaco- binism in Full Blast,” takes occasion to deplore the recent message of Mayor Wood to the New York Manicipal Councils asking for legislation to purchase food for the portion of the city’s population likely to be in a starving condition in the course of the winter. If we understand the Intelligencer correctly, its objection iz rather to the tone of the message (which is jac- obinical to a fault) rather than to its sugges- tions of remedies. The truth is, Mayor Wood was a candidate for re-election, and his message referred to was an electioneering document. It is to be de- plored that anywhere in this country affairs have already arrived at a situation wherein that style of soliciting votes is resorted to suc- cessfully... It tells badly for the future of the great cities of the North The Union reviews the result of the election in twenty States since the inauguration of President Buchanan, concluding that the grand finale is pregnant with hopefal Democratic promise for the future. - + s28- I> The election passed off remarkably quietly in New York yesterday, all the liquor shops hav- ing been closed I> The Governor of Michigan has appointed the 26th of November asa day of Thanksgiving.

The meeting was called for the purpose of adopting some plan which would enable the banks to afford acirenlation for the benefit of the business community. Resola- tions were before the convention, and final action deferred upon them until Friday afternoon next, to which time the convention adjourned, when it is believed every bank in the State will be rep- resented. The resolutions proposed a ‘ clearing heuse”’ for the State, each bank to deposit with it one thousand dollars to facilitate the settlement of balances. They zlso propose to cease redeem- ing their notes out of the State after a given day. important Frow Kan More Alleged Frauds.—Governor Walker has issued a second Proclamation {n relation to the election frauds in Kansas.

Nee the regular pol Same Democrats are killed. Hundred# of matu- falized citizens have been scourged from the polis. The election is a tragedy. Coxsuwmatep.—The so-long-souzbt re-ar- ranfcment of the schedules of connections and running time for the transportation of the great Southern and Southwestern mails from this city went into operation to-day. For five years past the Post Office Department is said to have been endeavoring to effect this object, by which six- teen hours (more than a full businsss day) aye gained between Washington city and Memphis, Tennessee ; fourteen hours between Waghington and Nashville; twelve hours between Charles- ton and Nashville, and a proportionate saving on the direct route between Washington and New Orleans. The difficulty has been for the most part in harmonizing the running of the eleven railroad companies whose respective roads are necessarily employed in transporting the mails in question, which, leaving this point, pass through Richmond, Va., Wilmington, N. C.. Kingsville and Charleston, S. C., Augusta and Atlanta. Ga., Montgomery, Ala., New Or- leans, Nashville and Memphis, connecting all intermediate points, and supplying avast scope of adjacent territory with the mails. We have reason to believe that half a dozen times within the last six or eight months definite arranze- ments for beginning to run the new schedules have been made, from which first one and then another of the railroad compauies referred to above have flown off. Now, however, thanks to the energy and firm- ness of Postmaster General Brown, the contract office, and Special Agent Eastman, who was charged with the negotiations on the subject that necessarily took place at a distance from Washington city. all has at length been har- moniously settled, and the public are to reap the advantages of the five years anxious efforts of the department referred to aboye. In these days, time is emphatiealiy money in all busi- ness transactions; and in thus saving the tray- eling and corresponding public interested so much time as is economized by the new sched- ules in question, the Postmaster General has conferred a very substantial benefit indeed on the country at large. May his many pending efforts of the same sort for other regions result as happily: Tuas Upper Missovet.—The Indian Bureau has received a very interesting report from Col. Redfield, its agent for the Upper Mizsouri, who recently left St. Louis for the scene of his iabors—the far-off territory on our Canadian border, stretching from the Mississippi almost to the Pacific. Col. R. has held councils with most of the tribes located in that region, the names of some cf which are almost unknown on this side of the Alleghanies. He distributed to them the presents with which he was charged. and finds the Government's affairs with them wenerally in a satisfactory condition. The Mendems and Gros-Ventres, the Ricka- rees and one or two other tribes. have perima- nent homes. cultivate corn, vines, dc., and with the Yanetons may. in his judgment, easily be put upon the road to civilization and indus- trial improvement. were the Government to establish farms and mechanical pursuits among them. The small pox has ravaged some o! the tribes terribly, in that region. in the last year, carrying off at least one-fourth of the Men- dems. The totat number of all the nations, he thins, likely to be benefited by having indus- trial establishments among them is about 1,500 The Sioux are their enemies, and he asks prompt protection for them. On the Sth of July he was at Fort William, (mouth of the Yellowstone.) where he met bands of the Crows, and learned of the terrible suffer- ings of the Assinibones from the small pox. Mr. Clark. of the firm of Frost & Co.. (far traders.) had got himself Into trouble with the Assinibones by carrying whisky among them, They shot a Blackfeet youth, one of a number who were in Mr. C.'s party. His whisky is supposed to have been at the bottom of the out- rages committed by the Assinibones on defence- less travelers. A Meritep Exposcre.—The Philadelphia Ledger thus exposes the cBaracter of the tele- graphic dispatches which have been imposed upon the patrons of the “ Associated Press’? telezraphing arrangements, by the violent Know Nothing partisan politician who is entrusted with the management of their business in Bal- timore. The arrangement is at present a close monopoly, and we see no way in which the per- petration of such outrageous breaches of good faith on the part of those employed by the company furnishing telegraph news to the news- papers, can be prevented at present : Tetecrarnic Despatcnes —Some of the news- papers complain of the one-sided and partisan re- ports sent to all the newspapers of the country by the agent of the Associated Press at Baltimore, in the recent conflict of authority between the Mayor ef Baltimore and the Governor of Maryland. There has been a studied effort apparently on his part to theow ridicule upon Gov. Ligon for bis very proper efforts to prolect citizens iu their con- stitutional rights and have the laws of the State faithfully executed Instead of sending the newspapers facts of undoubted accurecy, he has favored the press universally with bis opinions and lis prejudices, so that one men has the power te poison the mind of the whole county with his own errors. We have carefully pruned the des- patches which came through that source, but some of Our newspapers, we ser, have published them with their expressions of feeling just as they were sent by the correspondent, though theirown views of the propriety of the Governor's action, we know, do not correspond with that of the Bal- timore news-agent. Why do not the Associated Press place insucha position aman who has brains enough to understand its responsibili ies anc fairness, and discretion snificient to send facts and not his ridiculous prejudices ? opinions we cannot call them, for some of them are so absurd in their character that they are not worthy of that name Jcpce Broccuvs.—The resignation of the Hon. Perry E. Brocchus, Associate Judge of the United States Court for New Mexico, is to take effect on the Ist proximo. The just re- ceived number of the Santa Fe Gazette speaks in high terms of his services on the Territorial bench, and in bebalf of the people of New Mex- ico expresses great regret that increasing deaf- ness has made it obligatory on him to remove from the Territory, the climate of which is the cause of his affliction It is not yet surmised here who is to be his suceessor. His resigna- tion, dating on the 1st proximo, will afford time to whoever may be appointed in his stead, to arrive out in time to serve on the bench during the approaching session or term of the Supreme Court, which commences on the Ist of January proximo. Tur Exectiox iN Bartimone—that is, the problems whether there will be a quiet tine of it in Baltimore to-day. or whether the Demo- erats will, as usual of late, be driven by vio- lence from the polls if daring to offer to avail themselves of their legal rights, vecupy the thoughts of all here to-day. Our private in- formation induces us to fear—we regret to have to write—that Mayor Swan’s arrangements will surely tend to perpetuate the state of things that have disgraced Baltimore at elections, and so injured her commerce and standing abroad, notwithstanding the fair words to the contrary with which be bas published them to the world. 2 Taz Navat Covars or Ixquiny.— Court No. 1, to-day, Passed Assistant Sarg Garter was examined in the caseot Mr Byrens, on the Government's behalf.

The State Convention, which has been engaged for several weeks in framing a State Constitution for Oregon, was still in session. There has been no determinate conclusion arrived at, as yet, in regard to the subject of Slavery, though the pros- pect is that it will not be incorporated into the Tundamental law. We take the following important and interest- ing information from a San isco paper: “ The Convention to frame te Constitution for Oregon, now in sefsion at Salem, was slowly progressing in its labors at last accounts, bat its acts were not distinguished by harmony of feel- ing and action. The Slavery question, which it was thought would be so quietly disposed of, from the supposed overwheming preponderance of the Anti-Slavery sentiment, is the canse of no little discord, and instead of receiving guidance from Constitutions that have stood the test of years, some of the members of the Convention show a decided inclination to shut their eyes to precedent, and frame a document at once origi- nal, progressive and startling. Among the tin- provements suggested in jurisprudence is the abolition of grand juries, and the establishment ofan extensaly limited number of courts of jus- tice. We are informed by a gentleman, recently ar- Tived from Oregon, that there is a possibility that the constitution will not be adopted when submitted to a vote of the te. There are full two thousand pro-slavery votes in the ‘Terri- tory which will be cast against it for its anti- slavery clause, to which may be added the votes of those who are opposed to the formation of a State Government at present, and such as may not relish its eccentric provisions. We trust. bgwever, that the constitution may be accepted, and by a majority large enough to precinde the possibility of a re-enaction in that Territory of the disgraceful scenes that will make Kansas long remembered.
