Reports or Fravps wx tHE Kansas Exec- T10NS.—For a week or two past our telegraphic column has teemed with insinuations of frauds committed in the Kansas elections of the 2Ist ultimo, and the 4th inst. We have hitherto refrained from commenting on them—from put- ting the Star's readers on their guard against them—only because supposing that all well-in- formed persons are aware that such allegations are a systematic part of the game of the oppo- in the business of telegraphing the news from St. Louis East, for the press. Very recently, however, we find a gentleman who should know better, inclined to give ear to them. because so Pertinaciously forwarded to the press. We, therefore, take this occasion to say that we have not yet found them correct in a single in- stance, and that at the hour at which they reach the press in this region it is utterly im- possible that the editors c.n caution their read- ers against them simultaneously with their issue. They are the regular means with which the opposition telegraphers essay to break the force of acts that make against their party or their own views—nothing more.

That Captain Dusbam bax suffered a grievons wrong in this matter, those acquainted with the facts are well aware. it is said that bis crew (his only witnesxes,) who testified on the first trial, were paid otf and discharged, and were out of the conntry when the second trial took place. This, of itself, would be suitictent to show that he had # small chance of obtaining justice, when confronted by the passengers and crew of the Ly- onnaise, in a court upon French soil. It seems plainly to be the duty of our Govern. ment to jaterfere to arrest this extraordinary ver- dict of the French court, so far at least as to in- quire into all the facts appertaining thereto. There is a sad chi r of history connected with this unfortunate occurrence. Capt. Durham is the son of Jonathan Durham, by the officers of the United States Revenue Marine service—a faithtul, laborious and yal- uable class of public employees, who, for the responsibily and amount of labors they per- form, are perhaps the worst paid functionaries at this time under the Government : We understand that the officers of the United States reveuue marine have petitioned Cong reas for an increase of Gen.

J. Oxz-SipEp Accouxts.—The Republican par- ty Washington letter writers are just now send- ing off budgets of Kansas news purporting to have been derived immediately from Mr. Fred- erick P. Stanton, which sound very much like the dispatches sent east from the St. Louis Democrat office to boister the cause of the To- pekaites Mr. Stanton’s course in the Terri tory seems to have been that of an earnest op- ponent of the Democratic party, and this al- leged information from him is apparently in fair keeping with his course in Kansas. We regard it as the result of his sympathies as were Gov. Walker's accounts of the suppression of the Lecompton Constitution and of the char- acter of that instrament. His (Gov. W.’s) fifty dollar story in connection with that instrument, and his extraordinary misapprehension of it, according to the same letter writers, are doubt- less well remembered by all the Szar’s readers. Mr. Stanton is doubtless quite sincere in all he has really told the letter-wri tion concerning affairs in Kan: yet those who know both gentlemen will not be more apt to attribute to General Calhoun the purpose of falsifying the returns of the election of the 4th, than to Mr. Stanton that of misrepresenting that gentleman’s character in the following statement, which we take from a special des- patch from this city published in the New York Tribune of yesterday : ‘* Mr. Stanton thinks the result (of the 4th inst.) depends entirely upon Mr. Calhoun in giving cer- tificates, and if the Free-State men are defrauded he (Calhoun) cannot return to the Territory with- out hazard of his life.’’ Gen. Calhoun is a man of as much character as any gentleman who ever went to Kansas, and would be as far from betraying a trust by falsifying an election return, as Mr. Stanton would be from ‘intentionally misrepresenting his conduct—quite as far. It is very evident, we think, that in publishing the insinuations against General Calhoun’s integrity as coming from Mr. Stanton, these Republican letter writers have misunderstood that gentleman. As Ante Sreec u.—The speech upon the Kansas question, delivered in the House Hall yesterday, by Mr. Anderson, of Missouri, at- tracts no little atteation around us, insomuch as it was marked with much more than the usual ability of maiden efforts in Congress. It has certainly earned for Mr. A. a high repu- tation as a debater: It was a very carefully prepared argument in defence of the Lecomp- ton constitution, and its friends in the territory. Even the republican members, one and all, admit its great ability. So we conclude that it 1s destined to fall with much weight on the pepular ea r. Tuz Levee.—The second Levee of the sea- son, last evening, was quite as overflowingly and brilliantly attended as the previous one; and very busy, indeed, for two hours, were the President and Miss Lane in receiving, and Marshal Hoover and Commissioner Blake in presenting, the steady stream of visitors The ‘President appeared in vigorous health, but was really suffering from a cold and hoarseness which debarred him from conversing with his visitors to any extent. Tue CouLector or THE Port or New York. We place no confidence whatever in the stories published at a distance from Washington city, alleging that there is a disposition on the part of the President to withhold from the Senate the nomination of Mr. Augustus Schell to be the Collector of the Port of New York. On the contrary, we have every reason to believe that Mr. S. is regarded here as a very valuable and in all respects satisfactory Government officer ; and, as such, will be nominated and confirmed in his regular order and due time. Restenep.—Mr. Edward A. Pollard, of Ga., has resigned a temporary clerkship in the In- dian Bureau, to take effect retrospectively, in order to accept the appointment of clerk to the House Committce on the Judiciary.

Thirty-fifth Congress—First Ses: ° In the Senate yesterday, Mr. Brown introduced ® bill to incorporate the Benevolent Christian Association of Washington City, which was T-ferred to the Committee on the District of Co- lumbia. Mr. Pugh gave notice that he would introduce a bill or atid authorizing the States of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Obio, Indiana and Ili_ nois to enter into anagreement among themselves, and with other States interested, for the improve. ment of the navigation of the Obto river and its tributaries, and empower them to levy tonnage duties for that purpose. Un motion of Mr. Gwin, a resolution was adopted instructing the Committee on Post Office and Post Roads to inquire into the expediency of establishing a mail route from Tueson, via Sopo- ti, to Tubac ; also, from ‘Tueson to Agnas Cali- entes, in the Arizona portion of New Mexico. Mr. Hale submitted a resolution for the print- ing of five thousand copies of the tables of re- ceipts and expenditures of the Government, from March 4th, 1759, to June 30th, 1857, which accom- panied a letter of the Secretary of the Treasury. The bill taken up at the close of the morning session, was for the “ increase of the military ex- tablishment of the United States,” instead of that for increasing the “efliciency of the army by re- tiring disabled officers.” After considerable debate, which was partici- ted in by Messrs. Toombs, Davis, Hunter, Hale, oster, Fessenden, Seward, and ugh, the Sen- ate adjourned, without any action on the question. Ix tHe House, yesterday, after Mr Anderson concluded his remarks, on motion of Mr. J. G. Jones. of Pa., the Committee rose and reported the bill making appropriations for the payment ef invalid and other pensions to the House, with the recommendation that it would pass; and it was accordingly read a third time anh passed. The House again went into Committee of the Whole, with Mr. English, of Ind., in the Chair, and took up the bill making appropriations to supply the deficiency for the payment of paper, ratte y, binding, and engraving, ordered by the B Mth Congress. e ‘The bill was debated by Messrs. Phelps, of Mo.,and Burnett, of Ky., and Mr. C. B. Coch. rane, of N. Y., @ speech on the Kansas question. ‘The Committee then rose. On motion of Mr. Blair, of Mo., a resolution was adopted inquiring of the Secretary of the Interior fur information received by him fi F. W.

On motion of Mr. Zollicoffer, a resolution ask- ing the President to farnish information rexpect- ing the Origin of the military expedition to Utah, and the correspondence showing how far Brig- ham Young and bis followers are in a state of re- bellion, was adopted. A resolution terminating the debate on the de- ficiency bill at half past one o'clock of Friday next, was adopted. On motion of Mr. Phelps, of Mo., the House then resolved itself into Committee of the Whole, and took up the bill making appropriations to supply deficiencies in the appropriations for st per, printing, and binding, ordered by the 33d and ith Congress Mr. Clingman, of N. C., took cecasion to cor- rect a statement in a morning paper respecting resolutions offered by him yesteiday in relation to Central American affairs ad Mr. Davis, of Miss., then availing bimself of the privilege of general debate, proceeded to ex- pound his opinions and those generally enter- tained by his constituency on the Kansas ques- tion. He could perceive no difference between Free- Soilism aud Abolitionism, other than that the latter were more bold and open in their opposi- tion to slavery. He then proceeded briefly to review the course of Abolitionism, and remarked that now the Free-Soil party claim that they do not propose to interfere with slavery as it exists, but only to prevent its extension to new territo- ries. In case the Free-Soil party should be success- ful in fixing a limit to slave territory, he was confident that the Abolitionism from which its doctrines emavated, would induce it to disturb next the relations between master and slave rt the South. This would, in all probability, lead to a civil war, the horrors of which Mr. D. briefly depicted je was here interrupted by some other mem- ber, whose n=me we could not learn, and after @ short period of disorder, and at the request of Mr. Davis and other members, the Clerk read a letter charging Mr. Lovejoy, of Illinois, with ab- dusting and sending to Canada an aged and in- firm negro man, who belonged to the w iter of the letter. Mr. Davis then proceeded with his remarks justifying slavery ou moral and religions grounds, and declaring that the conduct of Abolitionist and Free Soilers betrays a want of true christian principle. —— Navat InteLticence —Lieut.
