The Union this morning is occupied with Kansas matters, and the Intelligencer with news sad correspondence 8 ———ee WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tue Frerr or Mr. Sranton’s Act—We have more than once of late explained that Mr. Stanton, in his apparent eagerness to subserve the purposes of the Topekaites, “ put his foot in it” in calling the Topekaite Legislature of Kansas together before their legal existence began, in order to defeat the legalization of the Lecompton Constitution; explaining, at the same time, the fact that, in the face of his (Mr. Btanton’s) pledge to the Secretary of State that they would do nothing but direct a vote to be taken on the Lecompton Constitution, (which they had no shadow of right under the law to do, by the by,) they had passed ordinances giving Jim Lane's band of ruffian outlaws an apparent justification for and right to perpe- trate outrages at their will upon any peaceable citizens they might fancy to assail. The letter we republish below shows that they have no. been slow to avail themselves of the nominal authority to do so, which Mr. F. P. Stanton has thus conferred on them The Judge Williams mentioned in it is Judge Williams of the United States Court of the Territory, formerly of Iowa, who if well known to perbaps half of Congress as being as peaceable a man and a gentleman of as high character as any other man in the United States. He is also a leading Free-State Democrat of the Territory. Matters have come to @ pretty pass, truly, when the families of such men are turned neck and heels out of their homes by the precious lambs for whore right to ride rough-shod over the Territory Messrs. Douglas, Stuart, Broderick, Harris & Oo. are contending shoulder to shoulder with Messrs. Hale, Wilson, Lovejoy, Giddings & Co.: Lecomptos, K.

The town of Fort Scott ix now in the bands of about two hundred of Lane’s ragamuffins, and is al- most deserted by the Se aE citizens, (with some few exceptions, Gov. Ransom, and some others.) General Clark and family, the family of Judge Williams, and a large number of others, bave been forced to quit the Territory for safety. —— seen letters from Gov. Ransom and Judge Williams which give a full detail of one of the most aggravated and unbearable acts of outrage and disyraceful lawlessness ever enacted in Kansas or anywhere else. We are impatient- wy ee with much apprebension. await ng fur- ther news from that quarter. At the same time that these outrages are being committed, we are in almost daily receipt of accounts of like Ppro- ceedings in various parts of the Territory. From nearly all quarters we hear of the same infamous — which these bell-hounds seem to de- ight in. There is no telling where the matter will end, as forbearance may cease to be a virtue, not only on the part of some of our friends in Kansas, but with our neighbors on the border. The Legislature has adjourned, leaving nearly every bill which they had passed, of a general mature, in the hands of Gov. Denver, but not | eee in the legal time for their consummation into laws. *“ * * Pvuazic Layps ix Missovri.—A regulation of the General Land Office provides that in a specified time after the public lands in any district shall be reduced by sale or grant to a quantity less than 100.000 acres, the local land office for that district shall be abolished, and the land remaining undisposed of shall be at- tached to the nearest adjacent district, to be under control of the office therein established In pursuance with this provision of the law the Secretary of the Interior was recently on the point of abolishing certain land offices in the State of Missouri. As the effect of this measure Would, however, result injuriously to the peo- Pie of that State who reside in the ity of the diminished districts, on account of the re- Moteness of the land offices to which the dis- triets would be attached, from the lands, the Missouri delegation have induced the Secre- tary to delay action in the premises for a short time, and meanwhile they intend introducing @ bill into Congress for such a modification of the law as will exempt some of the Missouri lands from the rule. What renders this law a source of peculiar inconvenience in Missouri, we are informed, is that the reduced districts lie in the northern part of the State, while the districts to which they would necessarily be attached are located in the southern or western Part of the State. The estimate of the quan- tity of public lands yet remaining unsold in the several distriets in Missouri, as derived from official statements, is as follows - Acres St. Louis... 1,200 Palmyra .. 55,000 Booaville (late Fayette) + 65,920 Jackson... * 4,650,316 Warsaw + 007,142 Springtield . Plattsburg Milan ....... Total ......... Tax Prsiic Pristine 1x raz Virginia Leais- LaTURE—Opposition To Tue EsxguireER— Srrecu or Josern Seaar, Esq To the Editor of the Star You have probably observed that a consider- able portion of the time of the Virginia Legisla- ture at its present session has been devoted toa discussion of the propriety of reducing the rates at which the public printer is paid. The bill ‘was passed in the House of Delegates a few days ago. What will be its fate in the Senate, is not Known yet. The pretext for this movement is sconomy, and doubtless such a consideration in- Buenced the action of many who supported it. Bat the primary motive was too palpable in the outset to be mistaken. It was a factious opposi- tien to the Richmond Enquirer by Democrats, who, | apprehend, kave no overbearing aifection for the Administration There were able and spirited speeches delivered on both sides. Two members of the House, who are Practical print- ers and gentlemen of intelligence, opposed the Feduction of the rates, and demonstrated that were not too high; that the profits of the st ors ae os all unreasonable under system at the it es ~ ration effective, et ee eeeeny jose | ar, Esq ,the distingui, legate from Biizavsia cits, made an ieefterauee oe ment against the pro innovation upon the prices paid for the public printing. He bas often entertained the House with bis loguence: and Jnstructed and convinced it with bis logic. on many questions growing out of the great cause of internal improvements, bis efforts £ behaif of which entitle bim to be regarded as the De W itt Clinton of Virgin: a it is said his speeco on blic — ng. a few days ago, was well worthy of his reputation. The Enquirer has Sought and is still fighting bard for the Admit - istration, and Mr. Segar has stood nobly by the Enquirer in this contest. oO A Desperate Game, TruLy.—The newspe- pers especially devoted to the fortunes of Sen- ator Douglasare just now busy with efforts to convince the South in Congress that opposition to the views of Mr. D. and the Republican party on the Lecompton Constitution question is death to Southern rights. Though Mr Douglas and his two Senatorial lieutenants, and his little cohort in the House, are at tLis moment as ardent and active colaborers and constant counsellors, with Messrs. Seward, Hale, Wilson, Stanton of Ohio, Lovejoy, et a/., ppon the great question dividing parties in thig country at this time as it is possible for gentle- men to be, their presses play this bold game apparently with hope of success. That such a hope is utterly futile must be apparent to all who know that the Southern men in are not children to be “tickled with straws’’ into playing into the hands of the notorious and persistent enemies of their section. If the Lecompton Constitution were the Pando- ra’s box of dire future evils for the South, which somre of the newspaper exponents of Mr. Douglas are now arguing, why is it that the great party which lives, moves and has its be- ing wholly in ceaseless hostility to Southern rights and interests unanimously oppose it with so great bitterness? This question is s stump- er; any effort to answer it will surely expose the fact that the present futile game of the ab- squatulating Democrats in this connection is to carry water on both shoulders, the Republican leaders having declined to yield precedence in the new organization virtually proposed to them, to be based on ‘‘freedom shrieking.”’ Cuances.—In this mutable world everything undergoes change, no matter in how high es- teem it is held. In fact, as we have the great- est esteem for what is most venerable, what is most esteemed is aptest to change. Old build- ings are not exempted from this law, and our readers will not be surprised, therefore, to learn that the ancient edifice lately occupied by the City Post Office is soon to be numbered among the things that are past. Preparatory to its demolition, it is to-day being vacated by the clerks of the Post Office Department and the Auditor’s Office,who have been located in it on account of the Department building not being sufficiently large for their accommodation. They are remeving into one of the wings of the new extension of the Department building, which has been partially fitted up for their re- ception ; and it is contemplated to remove the old building, s0 as to commence the erection of the other wing of the extension on its present site, as early as practicable in the ensuing sea- son. When completed, the Department build- ing, in a portion of which is the City Post Office, will cover the entire square bounded by E and F, and Seventh and Eighth streets. The present building was erected in 1836 and 1837, and construc:ed for the accommoda- tion of seventy-eight clerks. the whole force then required. Since that time, as thecountry grew larger and more prosperous, the business of the Department has been augmented, until the clerical force now employed in the Post Office Department alone numbers seventy-nine, and that in the Auditor's Office one hundred and :ixteen—making an aggregate of one hun- dred and ninety-five This increase rendered it necessary for a portion of the force to be located in the old building, but recently even these enlarged accommodations have been insufficient, and the erection of the extensions of the main building had become essential to the transaction of the business of the Depuart- ment. Dorxe Business 1x A Business Way.—Yes- terday afternoon the House passed two import- ant appropriation bills—the annual Indian Appropriation Bill, involving the expenditure of an aggregate of near three millions of dol- lars, we believe, and the bill making provision for the payment of the money due in London on the Ith of April next under the provisions of our Sound Dues Treaty with Denmark - some three hundred and ninety thousand dollars The business manner in which they were put through so early in the session, reflects great credit, indeed, on the parliamentary skill and tact of Mr. J. Glancy Jones, the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, under whose management they were thus safely and speed- ily disposed of. We also regard their so prompt passage without the heretofore usual legislative filibustering upon or over them as indicative of the fact that the present House is much more likely todo business in a business way than any one of their predecessors for perhaps eight years past. Much in this case may be owing to the substantial advantages for the transaction of business incident to the new hall. But without a determination on the part of a large majority of the members to discoun- tenance legislative filibustering in the consid- eration of appropriation bills, and exceedingly skilful engineering on the part of the gentle- man having the immediate charge of the bills, they would have lingered in the chamber for weeks to come. Toe Uraw Repevtion.—The President of the United States, yesterday, in compliance with a request of the House of Representa- tives, transmitted to that branch of Congress voluminous documents, to show how far or to what extent the people of Utah are ‘‘in rebel- lion against the Government and authorities of the United States.’ The papers contain the most important information heretofore pub- lished on that vexatious subject, but nothing freshly interesting. Among the documents is a letter to Col. Johnston from the headquarters of the army, in which (February 4th) the state- ment occurs that it is no longer probable that Lt. Gen. Scott will go the Pacific coast, or that any expedition against or toward Utah will be dispatched from that side. The announcement is made on the authority of the General-in- Chief himself. The documents were referred to the Territo ries Committee, which has under consideration the question relative to the right of Dr. Bern- hisel to occupy a seat in the House as a dele- gate from Utah, in view of the condition of af- fairs in that Territory. Horace Greevey Berore tur Investi- Gatine Commitrer.—Horace Greeley, of the New York Trisune, was examined before the Tariff Investigating Committee this morning, and the examination was concluded in some forty minutes. Mr. Greeley thanked the com mittee for calling him betore them, and testi- fied, we understand, that no person ever pro- posed to put any money in his hands to in- fluence the action of Congress on the tariff or on any other question, and that within his knowledge nothing of the kind was ever suggested. Until the late expose in Boston he never knew or heard that any money was paid or promised by Lawrence, Stone & Co., or any one else to members or others to influence the action of the last Congress on the tariff. Ou10 Dexocratic CLus.—In anothercolumn will be found acall for a meeting to-night of this club. to which all other Ohio Democrats in this city are invited to be present. This club was first organized in May, 1856, and was fally endorsed by the Democratic State Central Committee of Ohio. During the Presidential campaign of that year the club purchased and distributed throughout Ohio nearly three hun- dred thousand documents. That its labors were beneficial we have but to point to the fact that the Democracy of Ohio in that year elected nine Democrats to Congress and gained nearly 20,000 on the popular vote. The object of the Present organization is make active prepara- tions for the Ohio Congressional election to take place in October. Tue Reception at Postuasten-GENERAL Brown’s, on Thursday night, has since been the prominent topic of Conversation amongst those who had the good fortune to be present, and is conceded universally to have been unsur- passed by any one of the previous brilliant af- fairs of the sort for which this season has been noted, if, indeed, it did not take precedence of apy. A Tgiuine Speecn.—On all sides we hear the speech delivered yesterday by Mr. Smith, of Tennessee, in the House hall, on the Kansas question, spoken of as one of the ablest and most effective arguments up to this time, re- sulting from the discussion of the subject any- where or under any circumstances. The signs are that it is likely to become a Democratic party text-book, as it were. Vistt to tHe PirMovra.—Gov. Holly,:of Connecticut, accompanied by the wife, daughter and son of Mr. Minturn of New York, of the firm of Grinnell 4 Minturn, visited the Ply- mouth practice ship, at the Washington Navy Yard, at 11 o’clock this morning, and were re- ceived and shown over the vessel with his usual courtesy by Commander Dahlgreen. A salute to Gov. Holly was fired by the Plymouth. Senator Henperson, of Texas, the sucees- sor of the late lamented Rusk, is expected to reach Washington this evening, and will, no doubt, take his seat in the Senate Chamber on Monday next.

Ix tHe House, Mr. Smith, of Tenn., was ad- vocating the admission of Kansas under the Le- compton Constitution, when our report closed. He urged that the sectional strife which now prevalis in the country commenced in Congress, and is owing to the bitterness evinced by Repre- sentatives when discussing questions involving the subject of slavery. ‘The Kansas rebellion had been shown by Mr. Harris, of Iilinois, ina speech made in the House last year, to be the re- sult of conspiracy formed here in Washington and in that speech that gentleman had contende that the ink was not dry on the Kansax-Nebraska bill before this revolutionary pany. had formed their plot, and even fixed upon the time and place when the first blood was to be shed. Mr. Harris said he had nothing to retract from that speech. Mr. Simith urged that the people of Kansas were almost unanimously in favor of zdmission under the Lecompton Constitution, and quoted from several Kansas newspapers to show that the people desired the admiss on The hour fixed for terminating the general de- bate having arrived— Mr. J. G. Jonex, of Penn., remarked that ax nothing had been said in committee respecting the Indian Appropriation bill, he would waive his right to close the debate thereon. ‘The bill was then read and laid aside On motion of Mr. Jones, of Pa., the bill ap- ay riating $390,000 to enable the President to ‘ulfil the stipulations of the treaty with Denmark for the discontinuance of the Sound Dues, was tiken up. Mr. Jones urged the necessity of its passage, as the Government is under obligations to pay the money on the iith of April next Mr. Giddings made a somewhat fervent anti- Lecompton speech, denouncing that Constitution as a vivlation of the Constitution of the United States, of the pinetpies of justice, and of the laws of God. He regarded the Dred Scott deci- sion as atheistical and diabolical, and charged the Administration of a design to seize on Cuba, and of other filibustering projects After further discussion, the Committee rose and reported the Indian appropriation bill and the bill in relation to the treaty with Denmarx to the House. Under the operation of the previohs question both were read a third time and passed. The Speaker laid before the ens s message from the President of the United States, trans- mitting the reports of the Secretary of’ State, Secretary of War, Secretary of the Interior, and Attorney General, containing information called for by resolution of the House of the 27th ult., in relation to the origin of the military expedi- tion of Utah Territory, the instructions to army officers, their correspondence with Brigham Young and his fellowers, and other matters tend- ing to throw light upon the question how far said Territory is in a state of rebellion. The documents were referred to the Committee on Territories and ordered to be printed Mr. Smith, of Va, moved that one thousand extra copies be printed; which motion was re- ferred to the Committee on Printing. ‘The House adjourned till Monday. foggy, ther. 45. clear, cool. ——<—$—$—$<—_____ i> Cardinal Wiseman has issued a pastoral letter in which he announces the appointment of a jubilee by the Pope.

West Africa —A private letter from Bishop Payne, January Ist, states the decease of Mrs. Payne, on December ith. He speaks of the com- fortable health of the remaining members of the (Episcopal) Mission, including that of the three ladies just arrived from the United States. The Bishop writes from Cape Coast Castle, having left Cape Palmas for a season, for a restoration of health. ————— {>> Competition bas cheapened very consid- erably the cost of fare to California. The old mail line via Panama, now charges for the second cabin $100, instead of $200, and for the steerage $50, instead of $130. This includes the $25 charged each passenger for the transit of the Isthmus. The public are getting the benefit of he rivalry, bat whether the companies will make anything by it is doubtful.
