Yours, truly, R Ssitn. This letter shows that he quarreled with Tuttle,who would not stand the bargain for one- eighth of the Government's property entrusted in his (Smith’s) keeping as a mere tenantat will. In his original application to Secretary Craw- ford for permission to occupy the mills property, he pretended the purpose of moving thither with his family. Major Woods, in his remon- strance against compliance with his dangerous request, exploded that idea—even before Smith himself did that thing in sub-letting the prop- erty to Tuttle, leaving the latter to battle with the wilderness of bears and catamounts, such as the falls of the St. Anthony was in 1850. That Smith never entertained the least idea of moving there, as pretended in his original application to Secretary Crawford for posses- sion, is evident in his contract with Tuttle, of May 13th, 1850, as well as in the speculating letter of Nevember 15, 1854, extracts from which we publish above. He was evidently after chiseling the Government cut of the town site of Minneapolis and the most valuable water power’in the whole Northwest, fur one dollar and a quarter per nere; and to that end he lob- bied and lobbied and lobbied here—availing himself of his privilege of the Hall as an ex- member of Congress—until he made the very name of “the lobby”’ stink in the nostrils of the country at large. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, to-day, contains the Kansas- question speech of tho Hon. Sam. Smith, of Tennessee, of which, on its delivery, we re- marked that it was destined to become “text” for the Democratic party in all quarters of the country in the future consideration of the sub- jeet. This opinion of ours is amply borne out by that of the cotemporaries of Mr. Smith in the House, all parties there regarding it as be- ing as able a justification of the Democratic party's cause as involved in the controversy, as that has given birth to in either hall of the Na- tional Legislature or elsewhere. It should be republished by every Democratic newspaper in the land that can make room for it, for the sake of the cause it defends with such conclu- sive force of reasoning The Union shows up the New York Tr- bune’s classification of the House on the Le- compton measure in which it (the Tribune) counts 113 for Lecompton and 120 against it. To make out its 120 votes, it hes the assur- ance to reckon with the whole of the Republi. cans six Southern members and several known Democrats. The Trisune reckons without its host. Any shrewd man can see, by its own statement, that the success of Lecompion is be- yond adoubt. The Tritwe counts upon the aid of members who would be deeply ashamed to be found in any such company, and whowill almost blush to read the companionship even in print.

Tur Exp Approacueti.—The House this morning agreed unanimously to devote until 1 Pp. m., on Thursday next to general debate on the Kansas question, while nominally dis- eussing the Deficiency bill, and then to take the vote upon the Senate’s Kansas State bill without further debate. And, further, to close the general debate on the Deficiency bill on the next day—Friday next Mr. Carutnens.—The Hon. Mr. Caruthers, of Missouri, who went last fal! to Cuba for his health, left the island for this city previous to the departure of the last mail received from Havana. He has been heard from on his jour- ney hither, and is in improved health. We look for him to arrive here by Sunday evening next, or, at any rate, early in the course of the next week.

THE SENATE was not in sexsion to-day. Ix THE Hovsr, to-day, the Speaker submitted a communication from the Secretary of the tnte- rior relative to the quantity of land certified to the State of lowa to aid in the construction of a railroad from Dubuque to Sioux city, Mr. Washburne, of IL, presented a resolution Providing that the commmnicaton be referred to aspecial mittee, with iustructions to make certain i jen relative to the disposition made of said lands, and whether the Btute has con- structed the said railroad in accordance with the act of Congress granting said lands. Mr. Jones, of ‘Tenn., objected to the resolution, on the ground that Congress had no authority to interfere with what the State was doing. The jands had been yiven to Iowa, he said, and he hardly thought it peer for Congress to inter- fere in the disposition she has made of them. Mr. Washburne contended that it is strietly the duty of Congress to investigate this matter. A motion by Mr. J., of Tenn, to lay the whole matter on the table was lost. Mr. Letcher asked consent to move an exten- sion of time for debate on the General Deficiency bill for another week from to-day. Mr. Morris objected. Mr. Jones, of Tenn., moved to take up the General Deticiency bill, which is the order of the day. fir. Poster, of Me , asked and obtained leave to submit joint resolations from the Legislature of bis State. There was considerable discussion on the or- der of business, and finally the calling of com- mittees for reports was proceeded with and va- rious reports were received, being, however, of a private or unimportant character. ————_2+e.—_____ >" In another column of the Star will be found an extract from Mrs. Eastman’s admirable “Sketches of Fashionable Life.” ‘The chapter copied is a graphic showing-up of fashionable chureh-going in New York city, and, like the almanac calendar, is calculated for “other meri- dians.”’ PERSONAL. ---+ Hon, Linn Boyd, of Ky., formerly Speaker Of the House of Representatives, ix at the National. +++.
